This is Ray Brules and… David Hades Becker: David Hades Becker. RB: And we are back. This is after our great adventure at Horror Vibes Coffee. We’re going to talk about TV shows today. DHB: I know we teased a little bit last time where we talked a couple of things. RB: We talked about a lot of stuff last time. DHB: Well, last time it was more of a catch-up, trying to get back into the swing of things, but we teased like a couple of TV shows like Twisted Metal, Last of Us, stuff like that. RB: Well, and this will tie directly into possibly things we’ll see at San Diego Comic-Con this year. DHB: Oh, easily, yeah. RB: For instance, you were talking about Rick and Morty. DHB: Oh yeah, I was talking about Rick and Morty because I got to talk to the voice actors lots of at the IGN thing I did a couple of weeks ago. And they’re just pushing the new season. I know people are kind of dragging on it because it doesn’t feel the same without Justin Roiland and all that stuff. And keeping the humor alive, I’ve enjoyed the season so far, even though there’s nothing crazy to talk about, like the Pickle Rick thing that became a meme or Szechuan sauce or anything like that. I’ve still enjoyed it all. And it’s kept its nice little formula of each episode is kind of contained with a meta-narrative going over the entire. RB: I was just commenting earlier today to Juliet about how I was going to get a Mr. Meeseeks tattoo. Because I did something to my back this previous weekend, and so my life has been pain. And so I was like, I think that would be perfect to just have a Mr. Meeseeks tattoo. DHB: Well, so you got to get into a place where you could have a button, and then you can flex or move an arm, and then Mr. Meeseeks shows up? RB: That would be great. But yeah, Rick and Morty reminds me of the Animayhem stuff that we saw that year. DHB: Yeah, that was when, was it the Fox Network pushed out like everything from like Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Krapopolis, Hit Monkey, all that stuff. RB: Solar Opposites. DHB: Solar Opposites, yeah. That was an amazing little walkthrough. And I think it introduced people, like I don’t think you guys, you and Juliet, ever seen Krapopolis until we got to the end. And I’ve seen all like the second season just ends to that. And it’s so good. RB: It was our first exposure to that. We got pulled into Solar Opposites because of you. And for us, the storyline that really was the best were the people on The Wall. DHB: The Wall, I love The Wall. RB: And I’m just like, can we just have more of the people on The Wall and their story? DHB: They used to have like a movie of just that. But I guess at the same time, Solar Opposites does have like one or two episodes every season where it’s just The Wall. RB: Yeah, and you get to catch up on what’s going on. I have been really happy with some of the TV things that we’ve been exposed to with San Diego Comic-Con because I hadn’t thought to engage with some of those IPs. Like even they had that Rome TV show that we did, the Chariot Races. DHB: The Chariot Races, yeah. RB: We watched that for three or four episodes and it was okay. It wasn’t as Spartacus, but it’s still entertaining. DHB: Okay, well, I think it was the same year they did the Chucky thing. RB: Yeah. DHB: I remember you got, like I was really into the Chucky show. And I think you got into it after that. RB: Love the Chucky show. And then like, because of San Diego Comic-Con. And this is suddenly becoming a San Diego Comic-Con. DHB: Yeah, right, exactly. We’re just going to dovetail into it because they covered so much there. RB: But like the Interview with a Vampire walkthrough was so amazing. DHB: Yeah. RB: Getting to interact with not only Interview with a Vampire, but the Mayfair Witches. And how they had the gals out there where they were giving people out little things. DHB: I think I still have my little bag of mint they gave me or whatever as a ward off against something. RB: Yeah. But also talking about television shows, like Juliet and I have been keeping up with Welcome to Wrexham. DHB: Okay. RB: Because we loved that doc series. DHB: And you guys also went out there. RB: Yeah, when we got married, we went out to England because her dad is from Liverpool. And while we were out there, we took the train out to Wrexham. And so we got to walk around and see a lot of the sites that you see in the show. So that was really nice to be able to have that experience. We bought scarves because that’s the great football way. Soccer for Americans. DHB: But did you guys get any fights with the hooligans or anything like that? RB: No, but we did go to the place where they often get pints. And it was fun. And people were there. And we got to see the owner who is often showing up in the show, just walking around doing his thing. But we did also walk around the town. And there was at one point we stopped at, they had a gaming store, because of course. DHB: Yeah. RB: And we stopped in and we said hello to the owner. And we asked them, what’s it like with Rob and Ryan having bought the football team and all of the attention that has been pushed on to Wrexham? And he was like, yeah, there’s some folks that complain. They have done some good things for the town. But overall, people are just kind of embracing the experience for as long as it lasts. Because there’s always the question, at what point are they going to sell it off? DHB: Yeah, exactly. How long does this last? How long am I going to be able to live in this limelight and get this little extra bonus of the guarantee has to raise the tourism and all sorts of other little things just around all that. RB: Well, and that’s one of the things that I’ve loved about in the show. It shows how Ryan and Rob are investing in the town, not just the football club. Also, one of the things that I thought was really interesting with this last season of Welcome to Wrexham, Tom Brady evidently has gotten involved with a football club. And so there’s some conflict between Rob and Ryan and Tom Brady and the billionaire or whoever it is that is his partner who bought into a team. Because now celebrities are looking at European football. DHB: Well it’s the next thing to buy? RB: Yeah, you run out of things to buy, I guess. And so you buy football teams. DHB: Yeah, well, you either do that or you buy your own little movie studio and do your own thing like they’re doing out here with Mark Wahlberg and Nic Cage and all that stuff. RB: We’ll have to see what happens with Summerlin. But yeah, in terms of TV shows, we’ve watched a lot of TV. DHB: Well, to keep working on that, The Studio has been another big one that I’ve enjoyed. I mean, I’m also technically in episode nine, so I’ve got to disclose that. But that’s the new one with Seth Rogen and Katherine Hahn, a bunch of great guest stars also about him being the runner of a movie studio. RB: The number of cameos in that show. DHB: It goes nonstop. RB: So you brought it up when we went to Horror Vibes. DHB: Yes. RB: And then I came home and Juliet and I were like, what the hell are we going to watch? And so we started it up. And we got like five episodes in. And I was literally yelling at the screen because Seth Rogen’s character, I just want to f*****g shut him up. Oh, my God. DHB: Well, he wants to make movies. He wants to be an auteur. He wants to do it. He’s a money guy now. Which is why it’s funny, the other Katherine, the one from Beetlejuice, blanking on her name. RB: Oh, yeah. DHB: The older one who got put down to producer. She’s like, oh, I love this now because now I can actually do stuff instead of having to worry about money all the time. RB: Well, and Bryan Cranston, he’s like, yes, I’m going to put you in charge. We’re going to make a movie that makes a billion dollars. DHB: About Kool-Aid. RB: And then all of the trials and tribulations of trying to create a movie about Kool-Aid. DHB: And it wasn’t Martin Scorsese where he’s like, yeah, I want to do one about Jonestown. He’s like, oh, wait… RB: isn’t that about how they drank the Kool-Aid, the poison Kool-Aid? DHB: Yeah. RB: And having to backtrack on all of that. Yeah. We don’t want to do too many spoilers for those who haven’t watched it. DHB: That’s episode one. So. RB: But then even like the Olivia Wilde episode. DHB: Oh, yeah. RB: And the fact that it had the noir kind of vibe, detective vibe. DHB: Yeah, the whodunit type thing. RB: And I’m like, wait, this is not realistic. A studio head would not be running around trying to solve a crime. DHB: And that’s the funny thing is everything I’ve seen like in interviews with Seth Rogen, and then even people I’ve seen online, a lot of these are based on real stories, like maybe not word for word, but things that have actually happened in Hollywood while they’re trying to film a movie or a TV show. And when you watch the show, some of the stuff gets crazy. RB: Gets really crazy. DHB: Because like another one they do is, it’s near the end of it. It’s not a huge spoiler. They go to CinemaCon, which happens out here. And some of the stuff they show are like, I’ve been on the strip with CinemaCon here. I’m like, that happens. Even though it’s like, yeah, they’re actors overblowing it. But no, I’ve seen
