Baseless Speculation Bad Brain Boys

Ryan Reynolds just dropped the trailer to Deadpool & Wolverine on YouTube and it’s already gotten 20 milly views in 24 hours, well on its way to make that sweet, sweet billy! So to celeblate we run through our theories about what’s going to happen in what will be this years most wonderful of films! How they get into the time bin? What Cassandra Nova want? She gonna go full Zazlav and delete the movie? What about Patrick Stewart? He coming back so he can die for a fourth time? We can only hope so! If you want to help support your favourite boys, Baseless Speculation+ is now available from our website where you can get episodes early and ad-free! We don’t know why that would be a selling point as Jackson makes this episode very non-advertiser friendly straight off the bat but do check us out on YouTube to watch Zammit’s soul leave his body at around the 1 hour 8 minute mark. But maybe we’re like that Cadbury ad with the gorilla whom loves Phil Collins? Initially shot down by execs, it turned out to be one of Cadbury’s biggest triumphs! And that could be us! Unlistenable, unmarkable but secretly, and then openly, beloved.

Joker: Folie a Deux, a sequel that has the chance of alienating fans of the first but luring those that had nothing but disdain for it has released a trailer and your boys are nothing if not topical! A brave and bold choice to follow up a segma male’s anthem with a jukebox musical. A brave and bold choice we respect. We do our best to remember the original film, try to figure out the big connection between Arthur Fleck ie A Fleck and Batfleck and Jackson attempts to convince the Joels that Norman Reedus’ character in the Walking Dead, Paytus, gets tied to a log, falls in a river and ends up in France. Because the currents were in his favour. Truely another masterful episode by the three cleverest boys in pop culture, an episode you can watch on YouTube. Sadly, if this was to happen to an gorilla it would drown. While most mammals are able to swim instinctively without any training, not gorillas! They are far too muscular and heavy to float or move in water and their short arms and legs make them terrible at any kind of swimming stroke. But don’t fret. Gorillas are happy on land, where they find water in their food and bond with their mates. Gorillas fear the ocean. And so they should.

Excelsior true believer! While Joel Duscher’s away the other two idiots will play! Zammit’s been reading about Marvel history and has come away with a very important finding. Sometime in the 90s we almost had a James Cameron directed X-Men film until Stan Lee wrecked it. You see, Stan Lee was a crazy man who loved Spider-Man and shouldn’t be invited to non-Spider-Man meetings (to his credit, he did have a brilliant idea for a van based X-Men cartoon that never happened). So let’s have a famous think and ponder what that film might have been like and how Leonardo DiCaprio would have been shoehorned in as one of the merry mutants. As always you can watch us on YouTube and now on to today’s ape fact! Some scientists have observed apes carving sticks into spears to help hunt for food and bonobos use sticks as weapons! Can you imagine that? A bonobo with a big stick? Damn. What a powerful bonobo with a powerful stick. We are all incredibly jealous of that little bonobos and its mighty stick. Maybe it’ll let us hold it for a bit?

Star Wars, a film series that historically has never once been political in any way, shape or form, has gone too far this time by hiring women? Non-whites? Goes against canon?? It’s hard to say. Fragile babies are upset and maybe gen-z think da prequels are better than the original series?? We don’t know. We also don’t know why a bison time travels. There’s a lot we don’t know to be perfectly honest. Except Yoda’s political leanings. That we get. So listen in (or watch us on YouTube) for the next hour while we momentarily distract you on the road to the grave as we try and figure out what will happen in Star Wars: Acolyte. Oh, we also know howler monkey’s are not only the loudest monkey, but they’re also the loudest land animal. Their little yells can be heard from 5km away! That’s 3 miles to you filthy imperialists. Or around about 50 odd football fields if you need that visualisation.

Those little guys in our brains who control our every waking moment are back! And this time there's more! Be it cute boys, friend politics, a potential queer storyline that won't go anywhere, puberty is rough and Disney's Inside Out 2 is here to remind you just how terrible it was (or is, depending on your own personal timeline). The boys spend too much time working out how farms work, get confused and angry at how the Northern Hemisphere does school and delve deep into the emotion disgust using a watermelon, a toilet brush and a britta. Once again, you can watch us on YouTube, and now for this episode's ape fact! Female geladas delay sexual maturation until a new, sexy and not-at-all-genetically-related-to-them male takes over the troop. For geladas, cousins is NOT okay.

The bombs are falling and JD has gone on a sacred mission to stop them with his mighty fists so instead we have Guest Joel, Adam Carnevale from the hit podcast D&D is for Nerds and Beyond the Map! The boys try to remember West World and can't refute any of Jackson's claims, get distracted by their own tangents and marvel at the man that is Walton Goggins. Adam, otherwise known as Johnny Fallout, makes a bold prediction and is immediately concerned, Zammit doesn't know half of what is being said but is excited to be there and Jackson thinks an infamous number gets a bad rap. If you're watching the filmed version of this on YouTube, we are sorry Adam is blurry. The studio horse got into the studio again and kicked the camera and broke the lens. We didn't notice this until the edit. We are sorry. Instead here's this episode's ape fact! Did you know that the collective term for mandrills is a horde, which is fitting as they are god's nastiest monkey.
