Ror posted:I tend to like Gleep Glossary because the majority of episodes are about some EU guy you've never heard of and doesn't really matter to the core Star Wars story. It's basically just listening to them riff on some random sci-fi bullshit that just happens to be in the SW universe, but I can understand being uninterested if you just don't care about Star Wars at all. I don’t know what you mean. I’ve heard of everyone they’re talking about.

I started because of the Nexus and it's fantastic. Really can't get into any other star trek stuff but I enjoy hearing them talk about TOS anyway. Mostly for the Bones jokes.

JT Smiley posted:My podcast feed has been pretty light lately, maybe it's time to finally start the Nexus. That and the gleep glossary are basically the only WHM shows I don't really listen to cause I'm not a big fan of either priorities. The Nexus is a great listen. Their impersonations and exaggerations of the shows' characters are so much fun. What they've done to McCoy is hilarious.

Their McCoy is an entirely unique character from the show's McCoy, and it's loving amazing. The Nexus is worth listening to for him alone. "Ya ever feel like a freak on a leash, Jim boy?" Oh I know. I've seen you at the meetings.

I must defend my Star Wars cred and say that I was just posting that for a prospective listener, I myself am a close personal friend of Lowbacca and IG-88. But I never actually read much EU, I can already tell that a poster with Thrawn name and avatar is much more powerful than I in that respect. When I was a young kid I was gifted The Crystal Star and I don't think I've read a single Star Wars novel in the intervening 25 years. I had a bunch of those guides that Eric pulls from though. The Star Wars Technical Journal was my favorite thing ever and I'm so sad that it was given away at some point in my growing up.

I kid, because years ago I ran a thread here on SA where we read through terrible Star Wars books and made fun of them. I started the thread off by reading the truly awful "Jedi Prince" books, featuring both Ken and Trioculous, two characters most Star Wars fans have (rightfully) tried to forget existed, but were a hell of a lot of fun to make fun of in the thread. Needless to say, I lost my poo poo when they were the focus of their own Gleep Glossary episodes. I would certainly never try to diminish anyone else's Star Wars cred. Gatekeepers are rear end in a top hat losers. I'm the nice kind of loser. Also, if you read The Crystal Star, I completely understand why you stopped for 25 years. Terrible book. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jan 27, 2022 |

I just watched the first Blade movie for the first time, and would really like to hear what the WHM boys think about it. It’s pretty good, but has a lot of odd little touches that it would be interesting to hear their takes on.

It's incredibly good and I feel like they'd need Angelica on for it because on a rewatch last year I basically came away going "this might be the blackest superhero film period". I forgot how much the film leans in on him being hunted on all sides both because the vamps want him dead and the police go BIG BLACK DUDE KILL IT when a vampire is murdering a lady right next to him.

I was the Eternals episode years old when I learned that Blade was a marvel property. That diminishes it somewhat for me. Also that Eternals movie sounds tedious as gently caress and even the comedy podcast about it was boring.

Blade showed up in the 90's X-Men cartoon show every once in a while, so I knew he was Marvel from way back when. And it was "big news" a little while back that Mahershala Ali wanted to use his Oscar cred to make a Blade movie. Like, he apparently contacted Marvel and was like, "Blade, book it." I'm hoping his enthusiasm for the character will help make for a decent movie, but it has a lot working against it. Also, yeah, Eternals is an awful movie. Easily the worst of the MCU. Thor 2 was boring. Iron Man 2 was aimless. Eternals is just bad. It seems to be a moment where the movie going audience is starting to wonder if Marvel is going to keep being for them. But I'm sure they'll course correct and get back to making movies most people love again. I like, but don't love, almost all of the MCU movies (and even love a few of them). But there's just nothing to Eternals. 2.5 hours of exposition until they finally close their eyes, point, and say, "Uh, he's the bad guy."

The League of Extraordinary Gentleman episode was a trojan horse to do an intervention with Cabin about his crippling addiction to Blade. They like it, but I agree a full WLM would be cool.

Blade preceded X-Men, Spiderman and was decades before the MCU and the Marvel "house style" or whatever it is that might be turning you off (edit: movie wise). Even if you don't know it comes from a comic book, it holds up 100% as just a standalone movie. It's a "marvel property" in the same way that "Road to Perdition" is a comic book/graphic novel or "Stand By Me" and Shawshank Redemption are Stephen King stories in the sense that it really doesn't matter and it's loving great.

You're thinking if the Spider-Man animated series, where Blade would show to take on Morbius every so often. I always thought he was lame as a kid and when the movie rolled around I was blown away by how badass he was. Back in high school my shop teacher couldn't give a gently caress less about his job and let us watch a bootleg copy of Blade during class instead of teaching us.

I know I'm just loving around a little. I love blade and it absolutely doesn't fit the "superhero" stereotype. It's just badass Wesley Snipes stabbing motherfuckers that are always trying to ice skate uphill. Blade 2 got me a noise complaint from my neighbors for the club scene and my subwoofer turned up really high.

The only thing I remember about Blade in the 90s Spider-Man cartoon is how he throws a gas bomb at Spidey, he starts choking and we get the cliffhanger music and cut to commercial. When we come back Spidey suddenly sniffs and yells "GARLIC? You just bombed me with GARLIC? What are you, some kind of a NUT?" and Blade just goes "...you're not a vampire?" Funniest poo poo ever for 10 year old Ace.

A Marvel property originally produced and released by New Line, which at that time was wholly under control of Time Warner. This basically means that for a couple years there, the most successful Marvel movie was made by a studio that shared a parent company with DC. Then X-Men came out and that was no longer true, but there’s still something funny about “the company that owns DC made the Marvel movie that finally let Marvel say something other than Howard The Duck is their most successful cinematic endeavor.”

What’s the deadline for listener requests? I’m tempted to call in “Tiptoes” but I suspect they’re not comfortable to talk about a movie with such abhorrent representation of little people, but otherwise I’m thinking “Milk Money” or “Blank Check” for that awful 90’s kid movie stuff.

I read so, so many EU books in the 90s/early 00s and still embarrassingly have Opinions on Disney nuking it all for Eps 7-9. I did a small scream when I saw the prominent thanks to Kevin J. Anderson in the Dune credits. Kevin J. loving Anderson?!? Seriously? Mr Jedi Academy Trilogy, that KJA? My husband was completely puzzled by my violent reaction. (Side note: I should really get into the Gleep Glossary, shouldn't I?) Anyway: watched Eternals last night to prep for the episode on it, god drat that was a dreadful film! Knew it would be bad when the opening scroll came up, so I have high expectations for the lads.
