EP 6 - Was Matt Damon just cast as Professor Xavier???

Before we get blasted for this, the episode is about how click bait fake news is running rampant about all our favorite comic book movies. So for people who might get bent out of shape, we figured people would obviously realize it's a troll... but I guess not. 🙄

 

1st 5 Minutes of Nonsense:
Is Matt Damon the new…..? #MattDamonIsProfessorXaxier #MattDamonIsXavier
Of course not, these click bait articles have GOT TO STOP.

2:00 New Mutants Delayed again, possibly released on Hulu instead.

3:00 90’s Disney

4:10 Vince wants to see Xmen in Space!

4:45 Quantum Realm activates the X gene?

6:10 The amount of fake news on X-men casting is ridiculous.
Nick Jonas wants to be Batman?
Kevin Smith says Tom Cruise would be a good Wolverine?
Gal Gadot in the MCU
Who do you see as Wolverine?
Jason Statham is wolverine?

11:15 Michael Keaton would be awesome as an old Bruce Wayne in a Batman Beyond movie!
He made Spiderman Homecoming
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000474/?ref_=nv_sr_1

11:49 A younger Joseph Gordon Levitt would’ve been a great Batman Beyond.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0330687/?ref_=nv_sr_1

12:32 GI Joe was pretty forgettable…

14:51 The first transformers movie was the best one because the transformers were good and the decepticons were bad.

16:36 Jay Chow also would have been an excelled Batman Beyond.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727100/?ref_=nv_sr_1

17:09 Josh didn’t like Green Hornet. But didn’t want the Batman 66 feel in the movie either.

17:36 Loving on Michael Keaton’s characters.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000474/?ref_=nv_sr_1

18:51 If you’ve never seen Lego Batman, GO SEE IT.

19:55 If it hadn’t been for Heath Ledger’s Joker, Nolan’s Batman wouldn’t have been held as high as it is.

20:45 Rod’s Pet Peeves: Recasting

21:11 Rod and Josh would have loved to see Terrance Howard as War Machine. Don’t get us wrong, Don Cheadle is amazing. Edward Norton as Hulk in the same way.

22:47 Vince shares his love for Dawsons Creek… or maybe just Katie Holmes
But One Tree Hill too.

24:33 Fringe, I love Fringe. But do you really love Fringe?

25:26 Wizard Magazine from the 90’s and their picks at who will be cast as the X-men.

Patrick Stewart as Xavier was always the choice
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001772/?ref_=nv_sr_1

27:06 We will never know the real stories on why people were or weren’t picked. Just like David Karadeen was picked over Bruce Lee for the TV show “Kung Fu”

30:02 Eartha Kit was the best Catwoman.

31:00 Kevin Smith talks about how Bat Girl got him going when he’d see her in the intro of Batman 66

32:49 Agents of Shield got us excited with their intro changes.
Such a good show
