Tune Talk 2.0 - Season 3 Episode 11: What All This Super Bowl Media Means

[00:00:03] Discovery Roger, Go for the boy. Two, One, Zero, Zero, F-R-M. America's return to space as Discovery clears the tower. I can't believe they let us back in this place. What, no good? No. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. There we go.

Oui, oui, oui. Right this way. What if we hate everything? We have free cancellation. Booking.com, Booking.com.

[00:00:56] Give me so much as he can tell you,

[00:01:38] so much he can say. Well, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Look, from the very beginning, football's been a conspiracy to make us hungry. And we'll call this a pigskin. Make people crave bacon. And everybody loves bacon. I love bacon. Bacon. These wings deserve a team. Yeah. I figured out a good team name for Buffalo, Bill. Uh... Buffalo. I don't know. Buffalo...

[00:02:07] This year, we got a halftime show presented by an apple. In a stadium named after... A stallion! You want me to make a movie about a football conspiracy? Come on, Greta. Bacon's in. Everybody... No one believes that football was invented to sell... Food! When football makes you hungry, order Uber Eats.

[00:02:33] We've made contact with a new alien species, and apparently they're foodies. You're saying the pen I use to farm my bacon is made out of flying saucers? We don't have time for a science lesson, Mr. Ramsey. The alien ambassador's already here. Whoa. Not her. Him. Hey, what's up, dude? You're an alien? All famous people are aliens. I'm not. I meant, like, really famous people. Mom? Dad?

[00:03:03] We have something to tell you. You have a twin brother we never told you about? I'm sorry. So? What's his name? Other David. You called him Other David? If there's two Davids, one has to be Other David. Hey, you... Beckham. Dave Beckham. No way. Hey, what'd you say your name was? David. You alright, man? Still got it? Come on, guys. Sorry, it's a thing I do. You drink Stella?

[00:03:33] I have taste, David. My brother is a famous soccer player? Yeah. So how famous are you? Like, not Damon famous? Maybe Ben Affleck famous. That's a shame. Jeremy is a method actor. What is that? Coming out to his ready. The acting method. From the book. There's a book? He's preparing. He's doing his research. I never did no research on nothing. Hey, what are you doing in there? We're doing a Dunkin' Donuts commercial, right? Right. I'm just trying to find the character. I think I found a way in. You're from Boston.

[00:04:03] I'm from Boston. Duncan is Boston. Boston is Paul Revere. One if by land, two if by sea. Redcoats are coming. You're an artist, and I know what that's like, but how long is it gonna take for the the bean method? I mean, I'll be ready in like three hours. You should've paid for Matt. I told you that. This year, Taco Bell is making fans the stars of their big gay man. Hey. Not celebrities. Did someone photo bomb us? Is that Doja Cat? People. I wanna be in this app.

[00:04:33] Miss Cat. Come on. We've been through this. You're not gonna say it again. Fine. Why do I have to dazzle my Frank's Red Hot? Because I put that sh** on everything. Show me how you're kicking things up a notch with Frank's Red Hot for the big game. It could be any food. Buffalo chicken dip, wings, waffles, ice cream, caviar, chips, pink chips. Loves it. And that's not just hot, that's Red Hot.

[00:05:02] Actors, we can make you believe we know what we're doing, when in fact, we do not. Whoops. I have no idea what these buttons do. I've never driven a stick in my life! But my heart is rolled yet! Small business owner, because I have no idea what I'm doing. But GoDaddy Arrow does, using AI to build a logo, website, and social content. For Walton Goggins goggle glasses. Because if your goggles ain't Goggins, they don't belong on your noggins. With GoDaddy Arrow, it's like you know what you're doing.

[00:05:32] Excuse me, would you consider playing us? For the ultras. Oh, we're kind of at a high level. Fascinating. You guys sure you want this? Please, sure! Play it for an ultra. Alright, Little Caesar's Crazy Puffs. Whoa!

[00:06:11] Birthday cake comes in, it is so cute. My dad's eating Crazy Puffs again. Don't ask. Whoa! Have you tried the new bacon ones? There are bacon ones? Pizza, pizza! We're out of Pringles! Just blow in the...

[00:06:30] I'm just gonna go to the store. I think you got mine. I like it. Come here to me and get your Squarespace! Squarespace! Squarespace! Squarespace!

[00:07:05] Squarespace! Squarespace, old website, so... Oh sure it is. Cul-de-sac party! Launch! Launch! These beers are a metaphor for an invitation. Is that our leaf blower? I spent most of my money on this. New rig? Holy custom. How many Bud Lights can you fit in that puppy? As many Bud Lights as it takes. A lot of Bud Lights.

[00:07:52] Not today. Hey Meta, what is this artwork? Comedian by Mauricio Catalan worth $6.2 million. What? $6.2 million banana! Are you kidding? We need to find you another banana. Bananas, bananas. Gentlemen. What a place you have.

[00:08:22] Who eats art? Think you're supposed to say, hey Meta. Like, hey Meta, who eats art? And then Meta would say, Chris Pratt. Hey Meta, call my lawyer. Once upon a time, there was a girl with Golden Luxe. You know what? Maybe it was like a... A rugged, woodsy dude. Yeah! Too hard, too soft, too... This Goldilocks wanted something tastier. Those look just right.

[00:08:55] This is my story. But yeah, the bears were there. Thank you for sharing your Totino's Pizza Rolls. No problem. I'll miss you, Jasmo. I'll miss you, too. They're the most snackable pizza in the year. Unfortunately, that's... That's just a part of life.

[00:09:25] Rest in peace, Jasmo. We didn't know them as well as you, so it's not as sad for us. Not that we didn't want to. Just didn't open up around us. Totino's Pizza Rolls. The most snackable pizza in the universe. I hate you because we're from different neighborhoods. I hate you because you look different. I hate you because I don't understand you. I hate you because people I know hate you. I hate you because I think you hate me. Because I need someone to blame. Because you talk different. Because you act different. Because you're just different.

[00:09:56] Man, I hate the things that so... Well, now you don't have to watch the Super Bowl commercials, America. Because we gave them to you. Thanks. Thanks. Welcome to Toontalk 2.0. Welcome, everybody. Welcome all the people that are looking. And we decided to start with the best commercials. Or actually, all the commercials of the Super Bowl. And then this... I mean, where to start? That's true.

[00:10:26] Yeah, Snoop's point is slightly undercut by his silly hat. Which one? The Snoop Dogg commercial about hate being stupid. Who say that? Who say that? Justin. I agree with him. Really, Justin? Seriously? I don't hate him. I hate his stupid hat. Dude, seriously, Justin, the commercial is about embracing everyone with their own style. Really? Did you miss the point? Even if it's bad? Yeah, dude. Not because it's different.

[00:10:53] We need only to have an opinion of that. It's like... It's stupid. I think the fashion industry would disagree with you strongly. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on, dude. That's exactly the one of them. Okay, so you agree with Kanye's style? I agree with his style. I do not like it. I disagree with his knowledge and lack of culture. But I don't care about the guy. Oh, I'm talking specifically about his Super Bowl stunt. Which one?

[00:11:23] He paid like a million dollars for a 30-second spot that he recorded on his iPhone directing people to his merch store. Yeah, yeah, that one. And then there was one specific t-shirt for sale. Yeah, I know which one. The one that he likes the guy from the four letters party. Yeah, the one with the swastika. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's been doing a lot the last week since the Grammy, so I don't agree with his lack of knowledge. The guy's not a cool Tibet guy.

[00:11:50] It's a shock commercial. But let's go back to the commercials. I don't want to give a space to Kanye West. Which before we get there, I want to let everybody know this podcast is brought to you by our friends at Casa de la Zissa and Vizzer.ai. We will do commercials for those later and we won't spend any money. Or wear hats that Justin doesn't like.

[00:12:19] To be fair, I don't have a bowler hat. If I had a bowler hat, I'd put it on for Justin. Hi, Haley. How are you? So let me go back to the commercials. The one from the trucks, Ford. I think that's one of my favorites. That's good. Glenn Powell is good in everything. Yes, it is. But the commercial is funny, right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But Glenn Powell elevates it by being Glenn Powell.

[00:12:46] And then the papa, the little scissors and pretzel sis, extremely weird their similarities. A lot of people, more than one people lost their job that day because I want to explain this for the audience. Being in a Super Bowl, half time is not just pay for that. You need to qualify to a point, right? And it's a path to be there. You do a lot of negotiations. People think that they just pay that. No, no, no.

[00:13:15] You pay way in advance to prepare. And damn, dude, it's like... Oh no, they get feature film. Who directed the... You probably know this. Famous director directed the 1984 Apple commercial that aired during the Super Bowl? I don't recall. I think it was Solvenberg, but I don't... No, it's a bigger name than that. I'll look it up real quick. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch out what you're saying. Watch your mouth.

[00:13:43] Do not just take your... What was the Will Smith remark? Take my wife's name out your mouth. Take my director's name out of your fucking mouth. Solvenberg is a genius. Oh, it was directed by Ridley Scott. I should have remembered that. Oh, Ridley Scott. Let me tell you, and I'm sorry if I'm a little slow right now, people. I actually fall asleep. So I took an injection and I fall asleep and that's where 15 minutes late.

[00:14:13] And actually I was... I fall asleep watching American Gangster. I never thought that Frank Lucas and such much violence will be so rocking me to sleep. I guess the way that he talks, right? Denzel can talk slow and down. Have you seen the biopic Denzel did of Malcolm X? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's really good too, but it's kind of the same problem. Well, he got this voice, you know?

[00:14:43] I get it. I get it. I feel like his voice is always overshadowed by Morgan Freeman, but Denzel's got one of those voices. Two different actors, two different types. No, no, I'm talking about... I'm talking solely about voice and ability to soothe. Even so, one is soothed and powerful, and the other one is soothed and informatical. I don't know how to say it. No, that's a good distinction. Because when Denzel talks, you listen. Yeah, exactly. There's just something... It's like when you go to church on a Sunday.

[00:15:13] There are similar cases. Yeah, you're gonna be there, and you really wanna be sleeping, and you wanna pay attention, but at the same time your eyes are closing. It's like math class at 7am in the morning. But then he comes in and does the Andrew Beckett got fired because he had eyes. And then you open your eyes. That's another regular movie, Philadelphia. If you want... It's the Eagles one. Yeah, Philadelphia. Yeah, you know what? Philadelphia is a movie that I do not like. I mean, it's good. Really?

[00:15:44] It's dated. Let me rephrase that. Because my guitar player died because of AIDS. It touched really hard fibers that I was... I couldn't watch it. Yeah, that I understand. It's a great movie. Personally, it's too close to home. Right? No, I get that. I feel that way about... There's a movie called Flowers of War. Yeah? Remind me. It sounds familiar, but I don't catch it. Oh my God. Why am I blanking on his name?

[00:16:14] Batman. He played Batman. Michael Keaton? No. George Clooney? Son of a bitch. Why is my brain not working? Son of a bitch? No, because we know who you are. But do you want me to keep naming Batman Adam West? Now I forgot the director. What am I doing? Schumacher. No, the good director. I'm just having fun right now. I just got... Christian Bale. Christian Bale. You know what is so funny?

[00:16:42] I went around all the last famous. I know. I knew what you were doing. Oh yeah, but it's funny because... No, but anyway, it's about... It covers the rape of Nan King, which if you know, you know. It's a tough watch. I do recommend it. Because you get memories when you got raped, right? No, and I'm not even going to joke about it because... And you missed the guy. Okay. All right. I'm just going to... It's one of the... No, no, I'm not hating on you.

[00:17:09] I appreciate humor, but it's one of those movies where I always say it's worth seeing unless you've ever been assaulted in your life. I recommend you watch it. Don't watch it alone for sure. And only watch it if you're... Who directed that movie? Nolan? No, it was a... It was an American and Chinese co-production. I can't remember who directed it. I think it's a Chinese director. Okay. Did you ever watch... But they're famous, so...

[00:17:38] Did you ever watch Irreversible with Monica Bellucci? I don't think so. You know what? I noticed that those kind of movies that there were massive internationally I didn't catch with America. If I'm correct, it's a German movie, Irreversible. And all the movie is shot and then they play backwards from the end to the beginning.

[00:18:03] That was a movie that Monica Bellucci became famous and then was hired in America after that movie. Yeah, no, I haven't seen it. And it's a movie about a rape. Yeah. It's so strong and like it's hard to watch. So it's directed... It's by Zhang Yimou. Yimou. So yeah, Chinese director. It's... It's rough, but it's one of those movies where it's like it's not a...

[00:18:32] I always say the same thing. It's not a pleasant viewing experience at all, but it's one of those that you... It's not. But it's strong. Oh, it's so strong. It's so great. And the ending will... If you don't try... Try to... If you decide to watch it, watch it complete. Don't go... Don't go... You know, don't leave it because your mind will betray you a little more of the reality. Sometimes that happens. And I'll put it to you this way. So I've seen it twice. Once I watched it because I like historical movies.

[00:19:02] So I watched it and it fucking wrecked me. But I did... I watched it all the way through the first time because it's like... I get it. And then I watched it again because I was doing another video and I wanted it fresh in my mind. And I had to take a break. Yeah. So it's... It's rough. It's a rough movie. Wow. I know it's weird because I always say it's like, yes, you should watch it. If... You... You know, mental health... Legit trigger warning for that one.

[00:19:32] But it's worth seeing. I'm gonna make a comment based on what Haley said. Yes, I love the one from Lilo and Stitch, Haley. But this was a list of all the commercials internationally. And funny that you mentioned because the Lilo and Stitch one was just released in America. Hmm. Why? Because the release of the movie is gonna be sooner in America than in other countries. Yes. Because I'm reading that.

[00:20:04] Um... Uh... That's why I say only slightly undercut. Uh... Christian Bela. There you go. Now I will catch. Uh... So... Yeah, the seal one was... The seal one was great. I was gonna tell you your favorite commercial. My favorite one is the one with Shane Gillis just because I know the backstory of that. Um... Shane Gillis was put in that commercial because of like a long time ago, like at least a year ago, if not a year and a half ago.

[00:20:30] Shane Gillis said on a podcast that he's like, I'll come in and say Bud Light. He's like, I'll do it. That's funny. So for me, it's just hilarious. And it kind of became a running joke. And now he's like... And I also just love the desperation, right? Because you can taste it. Bud Light is just like overcorrecting so, so hard. And it's a saga of commercials, of four commercials that finish with this one.

[00:20:59] I do like the leaf blower bit though. That's funny. Yeah. I... I don't know which one will be my favorite. Probably... The most memorable for a reason is the Sprinkles one because I really hate it. And it's the most memorable between everyone. When I was making the editing and when I was preparing it for the audience, that was the most memorable.

[00:21:26] Now, the funniest one might be the one from the Tostitos, whatever the brand is that the alien gets trapped with the door. Because first, I never tried, but it's funny. It's funny. I just cracked up because that's the dude in that commercial is the guy from the meme. I don't do fucking shit. And probably my favorite one... Ah, man, it's tough. It's tough. Seal's a solid one.

[00:21:54] I like the first one because what was the name of that movie? Sally and... Because if you watch the movie, you will laugh because the orgasm is so good. I see it scene. And then Sweeney saying, I'm having what she's having. Yeah. That's really funny. That's a solid reference. It was a good one. A couple of years back, they weren't as good. But this one, they did okay.

[00:22:22] It wasn't one that I went like, oh my God, this is the best commercials. But they did fine. They did fine this year. So my favorite Super Bowl commercial ever, at least I think it's a Super Bowl commercial. But my favorite commercial ever, it's a salmon. I can never remember the name of it. But I think it was a Super Bowl commercial many, many years ago. But the bit is, the bear is like catching wild salmon out of the river. And then some dude in a raincoat just comes out and like beers the bear.

[00:22:52] The bear does the ollie shuffle. And it's winning the fight. And then the guy like points and he's like, oh, look a deer. And the bear looks and then he kicks the bear square in the nuts. And he just... I don't recall that one. I'll send it to you later. You'll like it. It's a good one. It's a good one. I don't remember if it's Super Bowl or not, but it's a good one. For the audience and for the fans, I highly recommend that with this same clip, we just upload it. Right? So people, they just want to watch the commercial, they can just watch it. Right?

[00:23:23] And I was going to recommend for everyone. I don't know what our audience think. If you guys don't want to listen to our annoying voices or looking to our beautiful faces, you can just watch that. Fuck you. Okay, fuck you too, Jake. But I'm not talking about... Not you. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to them. You know what is funny? Because I'm doing a monitor, right? Looking at you, obviously, in my device. But in the other device, we're a little behind. So you always get confused who I'm talking to. Doesn't happen to you? That one.

[00:23:53] That one. Yeah, but I got you like right there. You're exactly in the same length. Anyway. So, Super Bowl, whoever that missed it, that is weird that you missed it. I missed it. Or you don't like Super Bowl. I don't like it. Or you don't like NFL. I don't like the NFL. Because you are crazy and different. That's fine. I am crazy and different. I'm going to respect you like Tom Brady, he just with Snoop. I'm going to respect you.

[00:24:17] However, the Philadelphia Eagles kick the Kansas City Chiefs ass really bad. Really bad. We learned that Taylor Swift's magic is not invincible. And I got two theories about that. First, a week before it was leaked, everybody, it was a rumor that the script was leaked. And actually, we talk about this in our pre-production.

[00:24:47] It wasn't a pre-production. It was a pre-production meeting. It was a pre-production meeting.

[00:25:09] Or let's go totally the opposite and let's have the best quarterback throw passes always far, short, or away from the best receptors. You didn't watch it. It was a pass that he went like this, like this, the receptor. And the ball hit him here and dropped it by himself. I was talking about, with these good friends that would play football. And the guy's like, oh, this is rigged.

[00:25:37] It was, the passes were always dropped until the fourth quarter. But that could happen. We saw it with the magnificent Broncos with Manning against Seahawks. That could happen. That is sports. Ailey says, I'm very confused of why she got booed. Did you see that video? Yes. The thing is, she supported Kamala Harris. That's why. And the president was in the stadium. She was a big supporter from Kamala Harris.

[00:26:07] That's exactly why she got booed. Or she's dating Travis Kelsey. No, no, no, no. But Hailey's asking why she got booed. Yeah. Because they put in the camera the president of the United States and then they put her. Ah, and then they put her next. And they were like, booed because Donald Trump was really clear. I don't like they. Oh, and they were, they were in New Orleans too, right? Yeah, they were in New Orleans. So yeah, yeah. That's why she got booed. Fuck her.

[00:26:36] She can read and shit. Anyway. So like I said, the Philadelphia Eagles are the new champions of the NFL. Philadelphia beat Kansas City in New Orleans. That's how it was. I'm good for congratulations from the fans, the Eagles fans. Sorry for the Kansas City. They didn't have a three-peat. Let's move on with our lives.

[00:27:06] Here's a little meme for the internet people out there. Spell Eagles. E-A-G-L-E-S. Yeah, I know. I guess the, I guess the joke is they do man on the street videos in Philadelphia and they're like, yeah, go Eagles. And they're like, spell Eagles. And they're always like E-A-G-E-L-S or something like that. Yeah.

[00:27:29] Well, the thing is that the anthem for fly, Eagles fly, at the end they spell Eagles, all the fans when they're singing it. So even, what is the name of the, I'm on the deepest, that actor with Lady Gaga? Oh, Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper present the team and with his kid and they both spell Eagles correctly.

[00:27:59] And the team came out to the field. So yeah, it's a thing. Is Bradley Cooper from Philadelphia? Yes, sir. Ah, I figured. If not, he's a super fan. If not, he's a super fan. Yeah, either, either. Both are valid. Dude, I look bad today. Sorry people, if I look bad, I just really woke up. Yes, I'm a guy that runs a company and actually can't fall asleep at 3 p.m. Deal with that, America. I can go to bed if I want to at 3 p.m.

[00:28:32] Today, I want to share something about the company. We are looking for a new marketing director. And I got such a good meeting, Jake. I know you told me. Oh, am I supposed to act surprised? No, no, no. I'm sharing it with the audience as well. Okay. I didn't know if I was supposed to be like. You know, as I like to complain about the bad situations in the world, when you find somebody that is right and understand, right? In fact, you go like, thank you.

[00:28:59] So, of course, it's not a final decision yet, but I'm pretty sure she's probably watching because she said that she was going to watch the podcast. But congratulations in the meeting. Let's move to the next subject that is not far away from this one, if you don't mind. Let's roll the tape. Which one? Super Bowl. The halftime. Halftime. Let's talk about halftime. Halftime. Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show was a grand showing from the Compton, California

[00:29:28] rapper who continues to raise the bar for himself and hip hop as a whole. In a pre-Super Bowl interview last week, K-Dot noted that fans could expect story to him. And he certainly delivered on that statement. The MC provided that in the form of several Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the show. And we all know how good Kenny is with hidden messages and secret references. Here's a look at nine Easter eggs in Kendrick's halftime performance. Samuel L. Jackson's costume. Actor Samuel L. Jackson pushed a great American game theme while being dressed up as Uncle Sam,

[00:29:56] the top hat and bow tie wearing for sonification of the United States. Jackson is also known for playing famous roles in Django Unchained and in Hateful Eight, which makes him the anti-black antagonist or an authority singer for the oppressive. Red, white, and blue dancers. Kidd's of Lamar's dancers wore red, white, and blue outfits representing the American flag's colors. At times during the show, the dancers formed the U.S. flag. Many people picked up on the deeper meaning of America being built on the backs of black people during slavery. Video Game Controller Set.

[00:30:25] Kid Oc's entire Super Bowl halftime show set was built like the buttons of a PlayStation controller, adding to the game theme and possibly signifying he controls the game. Serena Williams dancing. During Kendrick's performance on Not Like Us, famous tennis star Serena Williams hopped on a stage platform to crit walk. The two celebs have confident eyes, but Serena's appearance could also be seen as another dig at Drake, since the Toronto hip-hop star and a tennis champion dated between 2011 and 2015.

[00:30:53] In 2022, Drizzy did Serena's husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ahanian, won the song Middle of the Ocean, calling Alexis a groupie. This could be why Serena and Drake aren't on good terms anymore. Gloria Jacket. Kendrick Lamar's custom royal blue leather jacket had the word Gloria emblazoned on its front. The name is actually the moniker for K-Dot's Poison Pants. It's also the title of the closing track on his GNX album. Me and my bitch got a complicated relationship. She's so controlling, I notice it ain't no playing with her.

[00:31:21] He raps on a song about his pin, with which he writes his lyrics. Kendrick's A-Chain. The lowercase h-armed Kendrick Lord during his set appearance to reference PG Lane, the company he co-founded with Dave Free in 2020. However, some people surmise it could be a further dig at Drake, and a reference to the A minor line on Not Like Us, partially because we never seen Dot wear the chain before. America Divided. During the show, Kendrick's red, white, and blue dancers formed the shape of an American flag. They then parted down the middle and turned their backs on each other,

[00:31:50] possibly signifying the current heavy divide in the United States. Man at the Garden performance. Dot's performance of the GNX track Man at the Garden appeared to have deeper symbolism and possible Drake shape. Kendrick performed the doo-wop version of the song, while several men in white outfits stood behind him. Uncle Samuel then stepped in the notes, You brought your homeboys with you. The old culture cheat code. Scorekeeper. Deduct one life. The visuals and comments from Jackson seem to imply that a funeral is taking place, and at the garden is a cemetery.

[00:32:19] Game over message. At the end of Kendrick's epic show, the words game over were displayed in Light's and Mustangs. It could be perceived as Dot signifying his match-inning chess move in a battle with Drake. Overall, K-Dot's Super Bowl halftime show was a masterclass on performing lives. And the if you know you know moments were heavy. Are there any Easter eggs we missed? Let us know in the comments. And the if you know you know moments were heavy. Are there any Easter eggs we missed? Let us know in the comments. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

[00:32:49] Shut up. Anyway, so let's talk a little bit about this. First of all, I want to say that I don't, that people are calling it the worst halftime ever. It's not the worst. It's not the worst. It's not the worst. And let me explain you, not because you don't understand. You can't be right to call it the worst. I'll be the first to admit, I don't, I'm not a Kendrick Lamar fan. I don't, I mean like I get it because it's been explained to me, but. Okay, my two cents, which is not even worth two cents in this context

[00:33:18] because it's so not my, now I'd be, I don't know that the Super Bowl halftime show is the proper place to do the diss track thing. I lost you for a second. Oh. Right. You got me now? Yeah, I can hear you. So yeah, keep going, keep going. So I was just, I was, yeah, I just don't, I don't know. I, to me, it's a bigger deal. Like I get diss tracks and I, I, I apparently he and Drake don't see eye to eye and I truly

[00:33:45] don't care, but it's the, like, okay. Okay. I guess here's my thing, which again, Kendrick Lamar doesn't give a shit about what I think, but bro, you put the Super Bowl halftime show and you're going to use that time to, to lay out a diss track. Although I guess it is a very popular song of his. Okay. Uh, Justin says, not my thing, but I appreciate the talent of the performance. Thank you, Justin. Let me, let me, let me decode this for people.

[00:34:14] First of all, let's talk about, before I go exactly into the show, I want people to understand me for the last four years. And for the last probably 12 years, we've been told what we need to watch. We need to be forced of diversity. We have been forced to accept things that we didn't like, and I'm not going to go politically. Just stay with me, people, please.

[00:34:37] This is the first performance again, that since probably Michael Jackson, that he's been able to do what he wants to do. This is an artist having the idea and allow him to do it the right way in his perception. The whole thing was a musical people. It's a narrative. Now we have two things that the, the, our beautiful team and machine didn't decode.

[00:35:07] crisps and bloods, blue and red. The separation between the two gangs. We have Serena Williams doing the crisp dance, right? They bought from Inglewood from the crisp, right? So this is a representation of the perception of Kendrick's Ramad reality. Now the control doesn't have to do shit with all he got control.

[00:35:35] No, Sony PlayStation is going to release a new console and they own the company where he got his record label. So he used that space to promote PlayStation and game over. Everything has a dual situation. Obviously he got the control. Obviously game over against Kendrick. I mean, I guess, uh, Drake, right? But you don't understand something. Drake nationality, what it is? Canadian.

[00:36:05] Where Kendrick Lamar is from? U.S. of A. So remember that we're living a nationalist. Politicalist. Political moment. The simple fact that he's allowed to do whatever that we don't have a white person or a Latino, right? Is because we are decide to do that. And that's going to allow us to have other things, right? That nothing got to be forced to have an Asian, a Latino, a trans.

[00:36:32] So I think it was a good example of the entertainment reacting to this moment in the, in the nation. When the artist is allowed to express himself without being forced to follow in the roles of that. That's the vibe I got by having Serena out there doing the Crip wall. Cause I know that in the past that was. And it's a double, it's a double. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I like, I, that's the part I get. It's just, and I get it. The music's not for me. No, no, no.

[00:37:02] I, and I get it. I, when Kendrick Lamar, I think was released his first album in two 15 to 17. I remember I listened to it and I went like, and please correct me the fans. When was his first album? Not the first big hit, the first album. It reminded me a lot too. And I say, Oh my God, I just listened to the Stevie Wonder of this generation. Then he started going more, you know, for hip hop. But when he doesn't do hip hop, remind me a lot of Stevie Wonder in his early days.

[00:37:32] But I'm not a fan of hip hop, but I respect him as an artist a lot. What the performance that he did without mistakes, controlling the camera, controlling the stadium. We have more than a hundred dancers, not making not even one mistake. That's true. I'm being direct to the point without bullshit. Let me remind you the time when, what was the guy, the girl that performed two years ago?

[00:38:01] Black woman that he was pregnant. That all the dancers were the sperms attacking the red with the, with the, with the white sperm. All this, Rihanna, Rihanna. That was so subliminal and so strange. And he's like, dude, thank you, Kendrick Lamar, to make a show for fans that like rap. Direct to the point. Telling us, this is what I want to do. That's your political view. That's your entertainment view.

[00:38:30] Let's move on to the next one. Let's get back to some football. Yeah. And, and I think I appreciate that. Let's remember people. All, all the players. Right. Listen to hip hop. So it's perfect for them. Let's not forget that he's about football. Do you think Travis Kelsey listens to hip hop or does he listen to Taylor Swift? I really think that he probably listens to hip hop. I was going to say that's actually a better question. Do you think Travis Kelsey listens to Taylor Swift's music?

[00:39:00] No, I think he can say. I don't think so either. Well, I mean, she's extremely attractive. I think she's gorgeous physically. I don't like her music. I, if you tell me, you want to listen to Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, I will listen to Kendrick Lamar and look at Taylor Swift. That's that. That's America that I like. I like those two. I like Taylor's older stuff. Ironically, the more country stuff. Well, because she was a country artist. Yeah, it was around. It was, it was around 22 where I was like, eh, I'm good.

[00:39:30] I realized that a lot of fans when I was reading comments, not just in our sites, but in other sites on Reddit and X and Y not. They, they say that they was the worst ever because they didn't, he didn't honor the big bands that play in the Super Bowl. I go like, dude, you need to move on. You know, you can't have a Steven Tyler singing. We're living in the edge, right? Like the night is there. You can't do that. If you want, if you want, if you want, if you want. I would kind of. Yeah. Rock's not big right now.

[00:40:00] Yeah. Evolving. I don't know that I'd call it evolving. Yeah, yeah. We're changing. No, no, no. At least the Super Bowl halftime politically matching entertainment and allowing the artists to do whatever it wants. I think it's advancing because we were controlled drastically. That part. That part. Yes.

[00:40:23] Like I said, I, if, if you ask me, I saw guys say it, it was bad because all it was, was talk to some words to a bit. Yeah. That's a hip hop artist. Her, her newer stuff is okay. Not my thing. Oh, Taylor Swift, I guess. I understand. Um, Dustin says, I have friends who's massive Kendrick Lamar fan who say he's a genius being. I'm not music critic. I'm not hip hop fan, but he's truly explain me how telling. Yeah. I don't know. He's extremely talented.

[00:40:52] I mean, the guy seriously. And I, I don't take this lightly. He's this TV wonder of this generation and the past one. They're thinking about one of the top. If you ask me, and if I were the producer, you know who I have for the Super Bowl halftime? Kiss. Kiss. Everybody love Kiss. There is not a person that will not like Kiss. I don't think, I don't think the kids know the kiss. Well, I get it. They will know them again. Kids don't like, don't know Kendrick Lamar. So it's the same thing.

[00:41:21] I think the kids know the Kendrick Lamar. Yeah. But bro, we don't, the market, the target market of the NFL is Kendrick Lamar audience. Right. I know that I'm not disputing that I'm disputing the kiss. But what, but what, why are we going to be, I say if I, if I could choose, if I could choose. Right. Like I didn't like when, uh, and I'm a rock guy when the record chili pervers were there. I just didn't like it. Right.

[00:41:47] Uh, my friends say a similar thing about Kremlin Lamar. Well, your friend is really smart. Um, and it says, okay, calling him the Stevie Wonder of generations a little far fetched. Lucky is good, but he's nice to be wonder. He's not a Stevie Wonder yet for you, Hayley. He is. And Kendrick Lamar can see. Yeah. Calling him a genius out of his time. A genius of our time. Yeah. He's a genius. He's a musical genius.

[00:42:14] Um, anyway, I like it that the two things that there weren't there that I say is the creeps against the bloods, the red and the, and the, uh, because if, when you see the cemetery part of the music, because we watch a musical, right. It's, it's white. It's at the end, doesn't matter what gang you're there. You just dead. That or the white man is ultimately the true villain. No, no, no, no. The white colors of the, of the, of the, I know. Yeah.

[00:42:43] Uh, I think that, um, what is the name of black uncle Sam, the actor? Samuel L. Jackson. Samuel L. Jackson there. That was the, the lyric, the, the talking part of the musical. It needed to have. So I like it. Just thought it was so funny. So, you know, you know, the uncle Sam posters. Yeah. We should redo those with Sam Jackson. It's like you motherfucker. We want you. Yeah.

[00:43:13] But remember what we want you. And what is the name of this? This song against Rick. I don't know. Uh, not like us. Anyway, let's keep moving. So let's just, let's, let's keep moving. I think it's, it was a good performance. I think it was correctly done for the right target audience for the Super Bowl. Well. Who didn't like it? Who didn't like it? Yeah. White America.

[00:43:36] Well, here's, well, here's the thing for, for those of you white Americans that didn't go ahead. I'm just waiting. CDZ Collegium Musica is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

[00:44:01] It is a kind of school of music, a concert series, and an agency that promotes the musicians, dedicated artists, and educators who we feature as our performers. The goal of the Collegium is to bring community together through music performance.

[00:44:25] These performances vary in musical style from classical to jazz, and music from different parts of the world, from India to the Middle East, that'd be like Persia, and Japan, and China. the goal is to also educate us to how music functions, not so much as a musical universal

[00:44:51] language, because there are differences in the way that these languages of music are expressed, but to educate us to be able to be more appreciative, not only of the music, but the culture it represents. And by doing this, it brings community together.

[00:45:22] Oh, so if you can't stomach Kendrick Lamar, check out Casa de la Zissa. If you can't stomach Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, I mean, go and check it out if you want to learn how to play guitar, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, so then you can rock. Because if you play classical guitar for two years, you can rock whatever the hell you want. It's probably just, it's like, I'm going to rock you very softly. No, but a solo? A solo, right? Yeah.

[00:45:51] You play Beethoven with this sword, and everyone's like, whoa! Like, dude. Well, hey, I mean, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra got famous by doing carol of the bells with an electric guitar, so. There you go. And it kicks ass, not going to lie. Kicks ass, totally. Yeah. Wee-Nee-Nee-Ree-oo! It's awesome. You should listen to it. That's what your solo, that's what your solo, can you do that again, please? Wee-Nee-Nee-Ree-oo! You know what?

[00:46:20] We're just going to let the people go right now. Thank you very much. That's what's 2.0 for, I'm just kidding, Jakey boy. That's why they don't let me do the music. Yeah, I know. No, I know you're really good with music. More when you don't do it. It's your best moment. That's my favorite. Whenever somebody's singing in a car, I'm like, hey, who sings this song? And they go, so-and-so. I'm like, yeah, let them sing it. Yeah. I mean, you have two songs that I really, really like when you perform.

[00:46:46] One that is called Far Away From Here, and Please Shut the Fuck Up. Those two songs are, whew! You nailed it, buddy. You nailed it. Please Shut the Fuck Up is my hit. That's the big side of Shut the Fuck Up, right? Yeah. Right. Anyway. So yeah, that's the Superbook Halftime. Thank you, Peter Cisa, for giving that. Please visit Peter Cisa at Casa de la Cisa in every platform.

[00:47:15] And keep searching for your kind of music. What are you doing with your hands? I don't know. It's a thing. See how fluid it looks because of the can? Yeah. For the people that they're just listening to us, he's doing something annoying. I highly recommend that you go to YouTube and do it. Because for a second, he thinks he's an Arabian dancer. I guess because we attack and this he's singing, probably he's becoming a dancer now. That's, it's the next logical step. It's like Michael Jordan becoming a baseball player.

[00:47:46] Yeah, you don't mess with the king, please. I've mastered, I've mastered singing. I want to talk about this for a second for all the, because everybody knows that you don't like professional sports, that you're more like a college guy sports. Well, for football, but yeah. Or basketball. When was I? No, I don't watch any basketball. I don't, I don't watch any basketball. But there's people like us that we like sports. And this is a big topic. And I learned the politics behind that. Are you ready for this? Do you know who Luka Doncic is? No.

[00:48:16] Okay. He's a one of a kind kind of player. He's from Europe. He's been playing in the Dallas Mavericks. He's, he reminds me a lot of Magic Johnson, a lot. He got his own pace. He's a slow, but he's fast between the times of everyone. Highest quarter. He was like the franchise player in Dallas. Don't, don't check. He, he got to be pro 27, 26.

[00:48:45] He's seeing his peak, right? A far more interesting hockey. Yeah. Justin says that you're far more interesting in hockey. So anyway, check this out from nowhere. The Lakers acquired him releasing Anthony Davis, that Anthony Davis now is injured. He's older, right? And the whole league was totally in shock, Jake.

[00:49:12] He's like, why are you taking our franchise super player and send it to the most famous team with LeBron James? Right. Now we know LeBron James is going to retire soon. So he's going to be the new player, right? The franchise player. And I'm like, nobody understand why. Well, it got released. Why? Are you ready? Why? You're going to like this. You're really going to appreciate this.

[00:49:37] The owner of casinos bought the Dallas Mavericks. So she sold him to Lakers because you want to bring a huge strip of casinos in Dallas. And if the government doesn't approve her and support the city, she will sell the Dallas Mavericks to another two Vegas. Isn't that genius and at the same time evil as fuck?

[00:50:07] Right away when they sold him to L.A., 700,000 followers of social media leave the Mavericks. So her plan is perfect. It's like, I'm going to keep destroying the team, making it a crappy team. Right. If you don't support it, I don't have funds to pay better players. I'm going to have to sell the team. So that that's how it works. It's a bit of a gamble though.

[00:50:35] Well, she's like, this is a casino woman. You know, it's yeah. But, but can you believe it's kind of like I say, it's like a evil plan, right? Very evil. Yeah. So I learned that. I just wanted to. Luca, Luca is a Laker. Isn't that funny? Luca is a Laker.

[00:51:00] Luca, Anthony, Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a single first round round pick went to Dallas in 2029. It's like the worst trade in the history of the, of the, of the, of the league for real. Everybody was like, why? Why? But anyway, now Luca is, Luca is a Laker. And now we can see LeBron James. Now he's Laker. Luca is a Laker.

[00:51:30] It's funny. It's like salsa salsa. Remember? Jerry Sanfield for the people that don't know. It's a episode of Jerry Sanfield that he made the remarks with George, how people like to say salsa, but it sounds like seltzer. Salsa seltzer. Anyway, next topic. We need a little sound. When I said next topic, you gotta go. Are you ready?

[00:51:58] Next topic on Toontalk. Man, you're boring today. Justin, you want to jump in? He's not entertaining anymore, man. Anyway. Oh, you want to talk about hockey? No, I don't come in. Thank you. What is our next topic, Jake? I don't know. What is our next topic? Oh, Star Wars. Let me do that again.

[00:52:28] Why you don't like a Star Wars? Why you become such a Star Wars hater? I know you got a podcast. The Final Frontier. I name it. It's fantastic. It's a great name. It's fantastic. The greatest podcast ever. Only a great podcast would be if I had a podcast, but I don't. Because I don't believe in podcasts. They're on a computer. I don't believe in computers. They're not safe. They're not secure.

[00:52:58] Anyway. Mar-a-Lago. That place is secure. People, if you like Star Trek, go and I'm going to do a veto for now on. Just this veto. Once. When we talk about Star Wars. Let's not talk about Star Trek. When we talk about Star Trek, let's not talk about Star Wars. Let's keep the peace. Please. Can we? Can we? It's the first veto that I say please with.

[00:53:28] Let's just not compare them. They're like two different ex-wives. Like we have kids with them. We're going to respect them. And we're going to always love them for what they were. But that's like somebody. Let's not talk about. That's like asking. That's like somebody asking you like which kid's your favorite. No, no, no, no. That's what I'm saying. Well, no, no. But in this case, one kid. And we have a new girlfriend called Toontalk. You don't talk about the ex-wives at all. Well, what if Toontalk asks about the ex-wives?

[00:53:57] You don't talk about both. You don't want to get yourself in trouble. Well, but if Toontalk is like, which one of your ex-wives was better? In what? Do you really want to have that conversation? Nobody wants to have that conversation. Come on. Let's be smart about it. I mean, just in general, Star Trek is a much better. Okay. You just throw the name of your co-host Justin General? Really? I'm here. I'm right in front of you.

[00:54:27] Justin General. But technically, Justin's a lieutenant. Or actually, do you have commander stripes or a lieutenant? I think, and I apologize. I think Justin is a commander. Okay. Let's, please, let's focus on Star Wars. Let's talk about Star Wars. All right. Fantasy. Science fantasy. It's becoming a trendy thing nowadays. Because it got released information that Lucas, and it's been for years, but now it's becoming like really trendy.

[00:54:54] That Lucas have a full concept that how the movie is supposed to go. And he delivered that concept to our new owner of Disney, right? Being, what's his name? Disney. Right? And he told him, you know what? That was part of the old business. And he was going to become an advisor. But after five, six meetings, he said, you know what?

[00:55:24] I'm out. I'm already rich. You're not listening to me. Yeah. Right? You want to go in another direction? That's fine. It's your franchise. Do whatever you want. Right? Yeah. Because Disney, Disney came in and said, Yeah, it's like, Anyway, so we have a little long one. I don't know if we have any segments or just one segment. We do, but stupid me.

[00:55:53] Yes, you are, but we still love you. Oh, there we go. So it's one big segment? It's one big segment. So listen to me. It's less than 10 minutes, people, but it's really important that you watch it all. Because it's a good thing, right? So we can actually talk about it faster. So you don't have to listen to our annoying voices. So here we go.

[00:56:19] The aftermath of Disney getting control of the stories of Star Wars. Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Not only did they acquire the rights to Star Wars, but they also obtained George Lucas's story treatments for episodes seven, eight and nine. We've got a plan for seven, eight and nine, which is the end of the trilogy. These treatments were then famously discarded by Disney, who instead decided to start from scratch. Or did they?

[00:56:47] In the years since the release of The Force Awakens, several details have emerged on what George Lucas's version of the sequel trilogy would have been like. And there are more similarities than you may believe, proving that Disney didn't scrap all of his ideas. In fact, some of the more controversial aspects of the sequels may have actually originated with Lucas, and we'll reveal what those are in this video. So without any further ado, let's dive in and take a look back at what could have been George Lucas's sequel trilogy.

[00:57:15] One of the many complaints about the sequels was that the political situation in the galaxy was unclear. And while fans certainly weren't clamoring for the incredibly dull and boring Senate scenes from the prequels, we just wanted a clear picture of what happened after the fall of the Empire. Frankly, in exchange similar to something as simple as this from A New Hope would have sufficed. The rebellion would continue to gain a support in the Imperial Senate, even if all the old Senate will no longer be of any concern to us.

[00:57:42] I had just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the Council Permanentism. But all remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away. Instead, it seemed like the First Order just picked up where the Empire left off, giving us the same old story of the rebels versus the Empire, but renaming both factions and hoping we wouldn't notice. Even James Cameron criticized this decision, saying, this film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before and characters you had seen before.

[00:58:08] Instead, Lucas's version would have logically explored the chaos and lawlessness that existed after the fall of the Empire, as the New Republic begins to try and assert control across the galaxy. Similar to how the original trilogy was shaped by Lucas's strong opposition to the Vietnam War, the sequels would have been inspired by the aftermath of the Iraq War, exploring the challenges and complexities of post-war reconstruction. The Stormtroopers would have been like Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist fighters that joined ISIS and kept on fighting,

[00:58:38] and they would refuse to give up when the Republic won. In the wake of the Empire's collapse, a power vacuum would emerge, leading to opportunist gangsters such as the Hutts vying to exploit the ensuing chaos. However, amidst this tumultuous landscape, a singular individual would rise to power, rallying the fractured remnants of the Empire and uniting the criminal underworld against the New Republic. And this man would have been none other than Darth Maul. Maul obviously would be very old in this, starting off with a set of cybernetic legs like a spider,

[00:59:07] before getting metal legs later in the trilogy. Maul would eventually become the godfather of crime in the Star Wars universe, and the core of the conflict would be the New Republic, trying to get the galaxy under control from Maul and his gangsters. While there was considerable backlash when Disney would go on to remove the expanded universe from the official Star Wars canon, you may be surprised to learn that had Lucas made the sequel trilogy himself, he planned to do the same thing. Not only would Maul have returned for the sequels, but he would have had a new apprentice in the form of Darth Talon.

[00:59:37] Originally introduced in the Dark Horse comic series, Star Wars Legacy, set a hundred years after the original trilogy, Darth Talon would have been reimagined by Lucas for this earlier era. Described by Lucas as the new Darth Vader, Talon would have been heavy and then most of the fighting in place of her aged master. And she also would have been responsible for seducing Han and Leia's son, Skylur, to the dark side with Episode 7 focusing on his fall.

[01:00:02] In Lucas' original treatment, Luke Skywalker would have been trying to restart the Jedi from scratch, and we'd see him going around the galaxy trying to find Force-sensitive children to train. Um... Next way. One X-Swing? We're safe. This wouldn't have been too different from what we saw of Luke in The Mandalorian with Grogu. One of Luke's other Padawans would have been a 14-year-old named Terran. After Disney scrapped Lucas' treatment, this character would eventually evolve into Rey,

[01:00:31] but before that happened, it was Lucas' idea to have Luke Skywalker seclude himself on an island following his failure to stop the murder of his Jedi students. I think this would have been a lot better to have all of this unfold on screen versus in the Disney version where this all happens before the events of Episode 7. Plus, seeing Luke for the first time in The Last Jedi being so negative and feeling sorry for himself was jerned for audiences. This wasn't the Luke we knew.

[01:00:56] Lucas' approach of actually showing Luke's fall from grace I think would have been much better received. It would then be through the training of Terran which would help Luke overcome his self-doubt and eventually leave the island to continue to try and rebuild the Jedi. Reading this made me realize that that's what was missing from The Last Jedi, a bond and relationship between Luke and Rey. Rey never really inspired Luke in that film or restored his confidence as Lucas suggested. Plus, the two characters never seem to really like each other all that much either.

[01:01:25] They had a very cold and distant relationship and after Rey leaves Luke to go face Kylo, it's Yoda who appears and restores Luke's confidence. Leia's role in these films would have centered around her struggle to rebuild the Republic and avoid the corruption that enabled the rise of Palpatine's empire in the first place. As Maul assumes control over these offshoot stormtroopers, the old gang will need to get back together to get the galaxy under control from Maul and his gangsters. And speaking of the old gang, similar to The Force Awakens, Han Solo and Leia would have drifted apart in this version too,

[01:01:54] with Han also dying at the hands of his son after he turns to the dark side. The first draft of the original Star Wars screenplay was titled The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as Taken from the Journal of the Wills. Initially, George Lucas was going to have the story be told by someone else, an immortal being known as a will, similar to the Watcher in the Marvel Universe. Eventually, Lucas dropped this idea and the concepts behind the wills turned into the Force. But the wills became part of a massive amount of notes, quotes, and background information

[01:02:23] that Lucas wrote and ultimately used to help shape the scripts. For the sequel trilogy, Lucas wanted to finally explore the concept of the wills on screen, which would have tied into and elaborated on the concept of the mighty Chlorians first mentioned in The Phantom Menace, Viti, Midichlorian. So, I ran over to George Lucas and said, George, what the F am I saying? What's a Midichlorian? George said, okay, you know, in your gut, you have millions of bacteria.

[01:02:52] He says, yeah. Okay. One of those has an intelligence. And then he laughed. As Lucas put it, in the microbiotic world, there's creatures that operate differently than we do. These are the wills. And the wills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force and we're just vessels for the wills to travel around in. And the conduit is the mighty Chlorians who communicate with the wills. Lucas felt one of the core values we should have in the world and kids should be taught is ecology. And to understand that we're all connected.

[01:03:22] And the wills would have been a metaphor for that. By the end of Lucas' sequel trilogy, Luke would have likely died, but not before rebuilding much of the Jedi. And the new Republic would firmly be in power too. With Leia becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. Which according to Lucas, we're our actual chosen one. As Lucas, you know, in your gut, you have millions of bacteria. He says, yeah. Okay. One of those has an intelligence.

[01:03:52] And then he laughed. As Lucas put it, in the microbiotic world, there's creatures that operate differently than we do. These are the wills. And the wills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force and we're just vessels for the wills to travel around in. And the conduit is the mighty Chlorians who communicate with the wills. Lucas felt one of the core values we should have in the world and kids should be taught is ecology. And to understand that we're all connected. And the wills would have been a metaphor for that.

[01:04:20] At the end of Lucas' sequel trilogy, Luke would have likely died, but not before rebuilding much of the Jedi. And the new Republic would firmly be in power too. With Leia becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. Which according to Lucas, would have made her the actual chosen one. As Lucas debated making the sequel trilogy himself, he even toyed with the idea of getting someone else to direct them. But scrapped that idea after recalling how on Return of the Jedi, he was still on set every day looking over Richard Marcant's shoulder. It was at this time that Lucas' wife was pregnant.

[01:04:49] And he wasn't keen on the idea of being an absent father for the next 10 years as he oversaw the production of the sequels. So he made the decision to pack things up and retire. I'm retired. When he sold Lucas' film to Disney, Lucas expected to have a lot more say in the sequels than he ended up having. You know, and especially helping with the, with the script and making sure the script sort of... There's a lot of blank spots in the story treatment that we can fill in.

[01:05:14] And while he initially attended and contributed to a few development meetings as a consultant for The Force Awakens, he grew increasingly upset as he realized that Disney was discarding most of his ideas in favor of making something derivative of the original 1977 film. They decided they didn't want to use the stories. They said they were going to go do their own thing. And so I decided, I will go my way and I'll let them go their way. Just prior to the release of The Force Awakens, Kathleen Kennedy screened the film for George, who didn't hide his disappointment.

[01:05:43] Publicly, however, he tried to put on a brave face. You know, I think it's a movie that the fans would really love. And that's the most important thing after all, isn't it? Yeah. Absolutely. Marsha Lucas, George's ex-wife, who was also responsible for helping to improve the original film in the editing room, didn't hold back and said this about the sequel Troji. Lucas' thoughts on the rise of Skywalker are unknown, but it's worth noting that he was absent from the film's premiere. Interpret that as you wish.

[01:06:10] So do you think Lucas' version of the sequels would have been better than what we got? Or would they have been received with the same negative reaction as the prequels? And somehow Palpatine has returned. Let's talk about the what if. I think the original idea of the stormtroopers become a rebel terrorist, right? A cell.

[01:06:40] That was great. I think that having Princess Leia, I was going to say Louisa Lane, then what the hell was my brain. Yeah, would Princess Leia become the chosen one in the political area will be more clear? No, it will be more clear. But I think the original story was better. Now we will never know. Maybe it was a crap. Because if you remember the episode one, two and three, nobody liked them, but they aged well. Comparatively, yes. And here's the thing.

[01:07:10] I didn't hate them. They're flawed movies. But like, I just, I think the problem with episode one specifically was the hype. Well, okay. Yeah. Realistically. Yes. That and Jake. That's a big problem. Yeah. Yeah. But, but the hype was too big. It was never going to live up to it. No, no, nothing. Never going to leave it to Star Wars, whatever we have. Now the Mandalorian. Kind of lived up to the hype, but nobody would actually know. Nobody.

[01:07:40] There was no hype. Yeah. There was no hype. They just arrived. And everybody's reaction. Everybody's reaction to season one of the Mandalorian was like, oh shit. This is actually good. And then what happened? Then we wanted expectation for the second one. And yeah. And the third one, it was like, nothing. He let it die. And then we have the book of the Mandalorian. And it didn't live to expectations. We got to understand that. Well, they. It wasn't Boba Fett. It was beta.

[01:08:11] How you, how you call a trilogy street in the, in English. How you call six. I don't know. Two trilogies. The series. Teta is five. Anyway, a series, right. Is considered the most successful movie in money making. Right. Even more than, than the, how you call it. The Avengers saga.

[01:08:39] Because of it, not because of the actual money, because the day that year that they were released. Yeah. So of course, nobody's going to cover the hype. At all. But I think that we will never know. If you really want to know, you can go and read a Star Wars dark horse from the 90s and 2000. The books and the comics are closer to what it is supposed to be. For me. For me as a fan. Yeah.

[01:09:07] I obviously, like I always say, I'm not directing a Star Wars movie. Right. So I will never. Be able to understand why. And, and who got the perfect idea of not, let's just relaunch the brand. Right. But I mean, Dave Abrams has a little more success and money than us. So I guess he just followed the rules. That, that is fair because I actually like what he did to the other, the first of the other series of films that he did. I didn't say the words.

[01:09:37] Here you go. We needed to do that. I like this. Incidentally, the first, the first movie of that series, which shall not be named had the same problem is there was a lot of hype. Yeah. And it didn't, it didn't deliver for the fans. But again, fans are complicated. Yeah. They never happy. They never happy. You can give them the perfect movie and you can give. The second one. The second one delivered for the fans. What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Can is not can. But either way, I don't want to talk about a Star Wars because we always do the same. We always do the same.

[01:10:06] By talking about a cycle, a Star Wars here. We talk next episode about whatever you want of a Star Trek. It didn't deliver. Yeah, you can, you can be in shock. It's like it didn't. It's not a bad movie. Justin, get it. Justin, you're not allowed. Anyway. Well, hang on before you, before you continue, I have to let everybody know if you want something that does deliver. Check out our friends at visit dot AI.

[01:10:35] Listen, whether you're a big time content creator like us, 14 podcasts worth. Um, you're going to have to create short form content in today's Internet age. And here's the thing. If you do it the old fashioned way, it takes a lot of time and it takes even more time if you want to do it right. That's when I discovered visit dot AI. See, there's a lot of these. AI tools. I say in air quotes because they all promise the same things.

[01:11:03] But visit is different because visit actually takes your long form content and it chops out the clips, the sections that are most likely to go viral based on, you know, algorithm data. Right. And it gives you a viral score next to the clip. And then you can choose to export. You can edit them. You can export the original video, edit it yourself, add or extract captions, change the captions, auto translate the captions.

[01:11:30] You can do so many things with their in house tools before you ever export the video. And. For the price you pay for all these tools, it's it's insane. And that's why as soon as I started using visit dot AI, I reached out to them and said, hey. I, I want to, you know, I want you to be a sponsor of our podcast because this tool is second to none.

[01:11:55] I had a really long conversation with one of their developers, so I put in their ear said, well, for content creators, these are some of the features that would be really, really cool. And if they weren't already implementing them, they said that's a great impact. There was one which I'm not going to spoil it because it's supposed to be a release later this year. They're going to implement one of at least one of the suggestions I made. So I'm looking forward for that.

[01:12:20] And as if that weren't good enough, all of our listeners here on toon talk 2.0, when you sign up for visitor dot AI, use promo cone toon and get 5% off your first 12 months of payments.

I'm doing Randy Orton right now, but it feels appropriate if it's appropriate. Anyway. So, yeah, I'm going to do what was the halftime show? Janet Jackson. That was deliberate. I still maintain that was on purpose.

[01:13:44] Oh yeah, of course it was on purpose. Justin Timberlake grabbed that thing right where he needed to grab it. I'm talking about the outfit, not her breast. Yeah, no, no, no. It was, it was deliberate. He was a really bad delivered by Justin Timberlake because he's supposed to make it like a mistake. Like there's a theory that he's, that he's something is can get attached. And that could might be, but it was deliberate either way. Yeah. I just click on our, meanwhile, you were doing the commercial.

[01:14:12] I went like, Oh, explore the podcast, 49 episodes. And I click on it and I'm like, holy shit. And I scroll down. And the last one that is in the 49 list is what happening with what is happening with Hollywood seven days ago. That means that this is our 51. This is our 50th. I knew it felt special. It felt old. I feel special. Hey, our. Our mommy told me so. So to celebrate this.

[01:14:43] I want to invite the audience for royalties and. Creators issues. We couldn't put it right, but there's a new short film that I'm going to get for the next show. Hopefully. Right. There's a new short film created by fans, but well done. Right. It's not a ice real well done. Yeah. Called the jokers wild. Have you watched it? Not yet. No. Well, we have our own.

[01:16:09] i highly recommend that and it's nice to see everybody's saying that he's hoping that this short film is like a casting for him to do the joker right because the face i don't know if you've seen it have you seen it i just i just looked it up yeah the face is so comic and it's scary

[01:16:33] his performance is really good his performance is really good the chin might be too much if you don't read comics i can see that yeah but if you read the comics you will understand perfectly i see a lot of comments underneath that says this is the joker that i know this is the joker that i want this is everyone is giving a lot of things like i said you need to be until and older sorry hayley

[01:18:18] guys you put i hate it i love whatever right to talk recommend to talk 2.0 recommendation that will help us a lot um that's my recommendation for a movie and i'm gonna go all the way around that's my strange one but my movie is uh hard eyes oh yeah you were telling me about it i was totally surprised man because everybody knows that follow the podcast

[01:18:43] that i go to the movies to think to relax that's my that's my buddha center right whatever you're gonna call like temple and i didn't i didn't have anything to watch i already watch everything and when i say everything i already watch everything well he means everything like no like i don't like sonic i don't like the game i don't like the movies it's a movie that i will

[01:19:09] enjoy on the house i don't want to go so the only thing available was hard eyes i got like dude it's a horror movie i know it's a killer that kills people in february 14 you know couples uh horror movie every word says horror movie people it's not a horror movie it's a dark good comedy i was laughing

[01:19:34] crazy now if you go and you don't laugh you can call me out and say dude you're crazy but i was laughing so hard that yes i got scared a little bit but it's a dark comedy it's a dark comedy with elevated you know performances it's too much they're fake performances because they're doing on purpose but i like it i like i really like it so i highly recommend people that if you want to surprise

[01:20:01] yourself maybe go on a date for february 14 right you're gonna have a good a good time so yeah that's my um that's my recommendation what about you uh so my movie recommendation i i can't remember i think i've talked about i don't know if it's ever been a recommendation before but if it has then fuck it it's our show um i had a really for some reason really really strong probably motivated by

[01:20:29] memory desire uh to watch the mask of zorro and i did holy shit does it hold up like oh my god i got a story for that for you give keep going yeah oh i got i i got a story too and this is this is wild it shows you how culture how pop culture influences the entire world now obviously zorro has a special place in the heart of latin america as well as the united states because for those of you

[01:20:58] who don't know takes place in california before necessarily before california was a state but my point being it's such a great movie and for it was made in 1998 and it looks incredible still because remember virus remember when they used to shoot movies practically on location and you know with actual explosions explosions yeah like real shit and a funny thing happens when they do that it

[01:21:26] never looks dated it always looks real oh because it is antonio banderas kicks ass anthony hopkins everybody in that movie cita jones catherine cita jones catherine cita jones god i've seen that one hilarious though i love how so many people still don't still don't realize that catherine zeta jones is welsh not latina that's always funny when you tell people and they're like because she does but

[01:21:52] everybody does a great job and they don't remember that what is how is catherine cita jones right now 60 something yeah yeah she was like she doesn't look the same like no dude she was caught in 1998 that's not like she's ugly yeah no no it's not but people say like yeah do you remember her in the in the basket yeah that's 27 years ago yeah that's crazy yeah uh i got a story for you in sorrow

[01:22:18] oh go ahead go ahead no no no i was just gonna say like oh my god particularly the high point of that movie for me is probably when uh aljandro played by um antonio banderas gets like the completed like he he gets the torch passed to him officially his first outing as zoro when he has the sword fight

[01:22:40] with captain lug and don rafael that whole bit like the sword wilson yeah oh it's so good it's such a great movie um i haven't watched it in a long time but but yeah i i will watch it tonight it makes me it makes me want a new zoro movie dude i think it's time i think enough time maybe it's time maybe it's time i think it is but like an r-rated real edgy zoro i think that in a point we're gonna go back to do

[01:23:06] now it's cheaper to make movies real that actually digital now it's too expensive to do digital movies that makes sense what i'm saying with special effects it's really expensive it became famous because it was real it was cheaper and i like to do things that you couldn't yeah and everybody's abusing it so bad that it's cheaper to put dynamite i know right it's wild actually pay you a

[01:23:31] screen of four million dollars um i want to share something a story behind the sorrow i don't know if you know who luis miguel the singer is the latino so luis miguel for the people that know is considered the best voice in the latin american world there you go uh he sounds 300 000 times better than what jake did but that's this is true he was so

[01:23:59] good that frank sinatra invited him to sing with him he's in an album with frank sinatra and frank frank sinatra told him now i can die because you exist that's how good he is okay he's still singing to the day he gotta be 59 60 years old he's still on tour his voice is fantastic now

[01:24:23] 27 years ago two movie two movie producers come to him and say we got the perfect movie for you you just gotta make this album are you ready jake we have this album that is the greatest hits from swing and music in english we're talking about uh he's flying high you know what you know like

[01:24:49] we're talking about big bands and because you do that deal we got a movie for you and that's what we're gonna put you into the american market you're gonna be alejandro murieta and el soro and luis miguel went and said you know what i hate acting yes but you're gonna be alejandro murieta and el soro and you're gonna make this album and he went back to mexico he said no to both and he took the

[01:25:14] inspiration of that big album and created the romances one and two that is one of the most sold albums in the history of latin america that is the the the romantic songs from the 40s 30 40s and 50s and he made uh two volumes of 25 songs each whatever and that resorts his career to being the

[01:25:36] best singer and the album that he say no they give him to a guy called michael buble can you believe that so i i can't unfortunately my funny story oh go ahead now i say that you wouldn't believe how the decision of one person affects so much because antonio banderas was known but he became super known with el soro he did and michael buble was nobody and became michael buble thanks to that album

[01:26:04] so believe it or not luis miguel gotta do something with those decisions yeah that's the story behind the sarah and michael buble yeah well my my funny story is this is just i don't know why i found this so funny so i was mentioned i mentioned to my fiancee which by the way that's news i'm engaged but nobody cares about that but so i was talking to my fiancee i'm like we were trying to figure out something to watch and i'm like i really want to watch the mask of zorro and then she was like oh you

[01:26:32] know and we had a conversation turns out this is so funny to me when she was in school because when she when she was younger she lived in venezuela and when she would come home from school she would come home and watch dragon ball z and then and then immediately followed by the disney zorro series from the 1950s but dubbed in spanish wow oh

[01:27:09] that's funny actually no he says yeah you guys as he says in the movie no the legendary zone the you guys are meant to each other you're per uh it's wild it's wild congratulations you know i did it in private but congratulations in front of the audience it's wild that that that actually she got a team in venezuela sorry for my mean joke to venezuela friends no back back then it wasn't

[01:27:37] i'm just kidding i'm just kidding uh for those who don't know people with money so i'm gonna show you my sorrow mask can you see this well actually it's my sleeping mask but it looks like with the headphones look it looks like the sorrow one anyway so uh that's my recommendation go just just just to point another thing out um the original novel that features zorro as a character is in the public domain

[01:28:06] so so great now we have an idea well no i'm not gonna i got two movies that i need to finish i'm just saying it's there now it's an audiobook let me tell you people the time warpers that we talked before it's already two episodes ready to launch but we need to finish though it's already tracked we have engineers mixing and mastering jesus i know we're trying to say jesus please hurry

[01:28:31] it sounds like i'm praying to god his name is actually jesus please hurry up uh but we're doing the score and when you listen to it you're gonna laugh i really hope that you guys like it and that's gonna open the door to make it a tv series or a movie and but the other one is unforgettable note that is perfectly clear that that's my next project as soon as we close a couple of things in the company i want to revisit the script even we have a table reading and i'm really inclinated

[01:29:00] incline incline incline to to put it online because it's the table reading of you know because there's some voices we have 40 actors reading the script but some voices actors didn't arrive or they need to laugh because it was a now we have ai we can double those voices and it will be like you know because i think that will be interesting to have uh so people will like it maybe not the whole movie

[01:29:27] maybe first half of the movie anyway part of it yep and we have the audiobook that is need to be mixed to and master it's a little hard work from jesus please i'm begging you jesus hurry up jesus so yeah no sorrow movies for me right now unless somebody want to hire me to do it i'm totally open no i mean and i can you could you can offer something you can do a zoro audiobook just

[01:29:56] okay actually i don't know how probably doing it is the problem with all the actors i'm in yeah actually i can do it i can do something i can actually talk in hispanics like el zorro i can be el zorro actually i want to do it now because i never get roles i get typecast it's a drug dealer all the time well but you'd have to do two voices though because for fun fact in the original yeah in the original novel spoiler alert for a novel that's over 100 years old um

[01:30:24] the characters zorro and don diego vega is in that book he's diego vega not diego de la vega that changes later uh they're introduced as two different characters you don't find out they're the same person until the end of the novel so i really want to i know i really want to read it now because i'm like that must have been wild talk about a twist in front of the audience why you don't go and do the script based in the novel and i've directed and acted it except except in our

[01:30:53] version el zorro is actually a woman actually there's whispers of some there's whispers of the story you want a venezuelan actress to do it i knew it well no that wouldn't that wouldn't make sense right away i'm saying no the entire time i'm saying nepotism is coming i can see it clear that's that's yeah that's that's the uh that's the twist at the end is like el zorro eres mexicano

[01:31:22] no no soy venezuelano that's funny anyway um uh yeah man that that's something to consider um any music recommendation that you have this time oh i'm i'm gonna tell something that is gonna blow our fans man but listen to kendrick lamar

[01:31:48] he needs your support half of america loves him half of america don't no actually um music recommendation i haven't been able to listen to anything you know lately i've been so into the the finish time warpers that is it's weird yeah um for my music recommendation i don't know it's it's kind of a loose i don't know the song's been stuck in my head which i've
