I do think Sgt Rock could just be a way to expand the DCU audience by entering a different genre. Opening DC Studios to new demographics can help win back lost audiences.
That would definitely work. It makes sense to basically imply that the events of Peacemaker played out in the DCU almost exactly like they did in the DCEU. Although we watched identical variants of this crew do it, you missed nothing by being here now seeing their counterparts tell Guy and Mr. T that they were too late to be helpful.
Gunn did just say in an interview with IGN that there will be a couple of big characters in Creature Commandos who play small roles/cameos who will be voiced by VO actors who will not be playing them in live action. Only the major actors who are in CC (like Frank Grillo) will be also playing live action. Stating all of that to say that Sgt. Rock may be in CC but not voiced by Craig.
Great show guys! SGT Rock hits with me in many fashions. I read the comics which Max Brooks who wrote "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z" books was involved. Also, I collected those SGT Rock toys and playsets that expanded my backyard battle world building too. I am glad to see James Gunn is going for some deep cuts and not rely only the heroes and villains to build DC moving forward.
I think this Sgt Rock movie could be awesome especially if they get the JSA and maybe even Wonder Woman involved. Also Gunn said that there are some characters with MINOR roles in Creature Commandos (a couple of lines i guess) who may not be voiced by the same actor in live action. Im guessing Craig hasnt signed yet so Sgt Rock could be voiced by someone else
I would think Gunn wouldn't just repeat Wonder Woman appearing in WWII in the DCU despite her being alive and possibly involved elsewhere, but the interesting thing in a Sgt. Rock movie despite him being human is indeed who else will populate the supporting and antagonizing cast of characters.
Don't really know anything about Sgt. Rock, but now I'm intrigued. Side note: I want to see Daniel Craig & his real-life wife, Rachel Weisz, in a movie together.
Ben is more known to social media as meme material but I just feel like a ton of people out there don’t realize how smart he is. For those who wonder go look up his video where he predicted Netflix like 20 years ago
Please when the time comes please don’t review the Harry Potter show and support it, what jk has done is beyond personal beliefs and she has influenced policy and she uses money she makes from Harry Potter to harm trans people. I’ve always loved this podcast but when you cover hp news like casting it’s a signal that our community isn’t safe here
Firstly, AI is corporate theft. Secondly, I am glad people are digging wicked but it's making clear just how bombed In The Heights was because chu knocking a musical out of the park isn't as big of a surprise as it seems. I have seen both sides of Glicked now and yeah i think gladdy was fine (both whelmed as i thought and liked more in some areas) but I doubt its awards chances will materialise (even denzel, if i'm honest) where wicked i think will be nominated in many things but only competitive in the crafts as is customary for blockbusters who aren't *really* in contention (i too think arianna will get nominated, cynthia i doubt [she is the barbie to grande's ken and we saw how that went last year] as most of her big moments haven't happened yet) and obvious stuff like production [where it should be very competitive] design). It just feels like gladiator is going to be the black panther 2 to dune's avatar 2 where its just going to eat up its slot (wicked has more of a singular identity, even though emilia perez is seemingly in that realm [and zoe is probably who ariana ultimately loses to] but one is much broader than the other). Also on the sgt rock front, a friend of mine has been using a sergant rock online alias for close to two decades i need to get his take on this ha. EDIT: On the rowling of it all, these companies are ammoral, if they thought they could make more mony the other direction they would do it. Do i think casey bloyes is a bit of a dolt? Yes i do (not the first time either), but i am not intetested in a harry potter redux even before *everything* else so it makes my disinterest doubly mute. I wouldn't watch this anyway (my personal choice) but i suppose it's handy i wouldn't have wanted to anyways. And it's not even just that 30:10 it disadvantages any non-conforming women whether that be beauty standards or otherwise, they are just picking the current easiest target (gross, but true). I hope the actor who ends up playing Lev in the last of us season 3 wins an emmy as a fuck you to hbo.
I don’t think many causal people are even aware of Rowlings views. I think people just see a new Harry Potter thing and decide based on their interest in the IP.
Harry Potter show wont be shot for shot remake of movies. They will add what movies couldnt from the books. Harry potter show will be successful as long as its good. Movie people like us can be in a bubble. General audience dont care about JKs comments nor do some even know about it. Especially with it being a world wide phenomenon. Michales comments were very spot on the issue and how to actually support people Criticzing How to train your dragon for having the same look as animated movie is weird. That is exactly what fans want! Did you want the original sonic version instead. Besides. The movies werent amazingly succesfful. Remake brings a bigger audience to the ip and factually people go check out the original when a remake comes out. No movie has ever been "needed" so i dont get that question.
How to Train Your Dragon looks so incredibly pointless to me so far. Literally nothing is different. The production design, the costumes, the dragon designs, the score, the direction, the actors...it's all the same. I can already go watch this movie it was made 15 years ago. Also as a creative AI can get fucked. Gets trained off of our stolen work and then steal our jobs.
If Sgt Rock gets made w those two I’m calling it now: Gayest. Movie. Ever. I’ll have watched that film dozens of times in my head before it even comes out. 😉
Is a.i. the best name to this thing, or is there a better way to name it? Is it intelligence? So, what we should really fear is a.c., right? (Artificial consciousness.) Can a.i. decide to kill? (It can certainly be used to kill, the military is certainly onto that already... but it's still men killing men, if it isn't a machine deciding what to do...) A.i. art is what is being debated here, I guess. Do you need a soul to produce art? So, a.i. isn't a.c., and therefore it can't create. I'm just babbling here, at this point. But I promise you I'm not a.i. generated.
Is speaking to Margot Robbie I hope that Laura LeFranc and Margot Robbie can work together because I believe she can bring the best Harley Quinn out of Margot Robbie with her writing style
I said, James guns universe, and particularly from the DCEU the suicide squad, suicide squad and peacemaker that’s canon the other stuff isn’t. I still think Zach is going to finish his story, but that’s gonna be an Elseworlds
Jk is a brilliant woman . Her opinions are her own , but her talent for story telling belongs to the world . Happy to hear the Harry Potter info , thanx gentleman
I would've loved to see your discussion of Arcane as well!
season 2 was weird, didnt feel grounded like 1st season and was over stylized, almost started to miss the plot
Went to see see Gladiator 2 again in IMAX. First time was regular screen.
Love the movie.
I do think Sgt Rock could just be a way to expand the DCU audience by entering a different genre. Opening DC Studios to new demographics can help win back lost audiences.
DCU always was for different genre.
They even have horror books and fables fantasy
Like sandman
wasn't spielberg attached to a WW2 DC movie at some point (not rock, but a different IP)
@Aussie27Legend was a rumour?
I think it was during pre covid he was attached to direct black hawk
@Abhinav-m4o that sounds right
They'll probably just do a Season 1 recap in Peacemaker S2 where they redo the JL scene but replace the old JL with Guy Gardner, Mr Terrific etc.
That would definitely work. It makes sense to basically imply that the events of Peacemaker played out in the DCU almost exactly like they did in the DCEU. Although we watched identical variants of this crew do it, you missed nothing by being here now seeing their counterparts tell Guy and Mr. T that they were too late to be helpful.

I feel like you have to be consistent or it loses a bit of the magic (within reason, of course).
thanks for another great show, interesting discussion in regards to AI 🙂👍
Great episode
Great show guys! SGT Rock hits with me in many fashions. I read the comics which Max Brooks who wrote "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z" books was involved. Also, I collected those SGT Rock toys and playsets that expanded my backyard battle world building too. I am glad to see James Gunn is going for some deep cuts and not rely only the heroes and villains to build DC moving forward.
Joe Kubert's art style for Sgt Rock was awesome and gritty.....
Absolutely no way the old heads at Warner Bros want two Batmen out at the same time even though one is else worlds
Theres an AMAZING Sgt Rock comic story written by Tom King that u guys need to check out
Great outro im crying 😂😂😂❤
yayyyyyy to the possibility of Dune: Prophecy reviews. (I know, I know, not holding y'all to anything yet)
Shannon you totally nailed it
From my point of view, regarding JK Rowling, you don't need to love the creator of something to love the creation.
🙂
Whatever the hell happens I'm glad Peacemaker is still a thing.
I think this Sgt Rock movie could be awesome especially if they get the JSA and maybe even Wonder Woman involved.
Also Gunn said that there are some characters with MINOR roles in Creature Commandos (a couple of lines i guess) who may not be voiced by the same actor in live action. Im guessing Craig hasnt signed yet so Sgt Rock could be voiced by someone else
I'm very intrigued... Loved the comic book growing up....
I would think Gunn wouldn't just repeat Wonder Woman appearing in WWII in the DCU despite her being alive and possibly involved elsewhere, but the interesting thing in a Sgt. Rock movie despite him being human is indeed who else will populate the supporting and antagonizing cast of characters.
Yeah GI Robot and the JSA could be included for sure
Don't really know anything about Sgt. Rock, but now I'm intrigued.
Side note: I want to see Daniel Craig & his real-life wife, Rachel Weisz, in a movie together.

You can actually have him be an Iraq veteran or Afghanistan veteran or both because I think they’re gonna do that with John Stewart and Hal Jordan
Dave Bautista is Sgt Rock😮
LISTEN. No one is complaining about the run time of any Geek Buddies episode. So just put that nonsense to rest now.
Firstly, AI is corporate theft. Secondly, I am glad people are digging wicked but it's making clear just how bombed In The Heights was because chu knocking a musical out of the park isn't as big of a surprise as it seems.

John hasn't seen Arcane?! 😳.... WTF!
I don’t think many causal people are even aware of Rowlings views. I think people just see a new Harry Potter thing and decide based on their interest in the IP.
what was up with Shannon's creepy laugh around 37:00? lmao
Wow! Now I want a film with real Vikings fighting real dragons! 😅
Harry Potter show wont be shot for shot remake of movies. They will add what movies couldnt from the books.
Harry potter show will be successful as long as its good. Movie people like us can be in a bubble. General audience dont care about JKs comments nor do some even know about it. Especially with it being a world wide phenomenon.
Michales comments were very spot on the issue and how to actually support people
Criticzing How to train your dragon for having the same look as animated movie is weird. That is exactly what fans want! Did you want the original sonic version instead. Besides. The movies werent amazingly succesfful. Remake brings a bigger audience to the ip and factually people go check out the original when a remake comes out. No movie has ever been "needed" so i dont get that question.

Also as a creative AI can get fucked. Gets trained off of our stolen work and then steal our jobs.
Commentbot automated response: There are 3 of you so technically it would be, "Geek 11".
Just saw the section names, no Dune discussion? 😢 Been looking forward to the Geek Buddies’ ongoing take on the new show. ❤
If Sgt Rock gets made w those two I’m calling it now: Gayest. Movie. Ever. I’ll have watched that film dozens of times in my head before it even comes out. 😉
AI can only generate art from what's come before. You mean like live action How To Train Your Dragon?
Great show! & Great points of view. I agree with Michael regarding the JK issue. Love you guys
Please explain why Sgt Rock would have a gay approach because of the director
To Shannon's point "if you don't like it don't watch it", please don't hound people who do watch it and end up enjoying it too
Is a.i. the best name to this thing, or is there a better way to name it? Is it intelligence? So, what we should really fear is a.c., right? (Artificial consciousness.) Can a.i. decide to kill?

I'm just babbling here, at this point. But I promise you I'm not a.i. generated.
Also wanted to say thanks for y’all’s support of the trans community. We appreciate it. 🩷
Dwayne Johnson's going to go on a tirade that he wasn't chosen for that Sgt Rock role due to the character has the same name as his nickname 😂
Is speaking to Margot Robbie I hope that Laura LeFranc and Margot Robbie can work together because I believe she can bring the best Harley Quinn out of Margot Robbie with her writing style
I’m a liberal and I think this is okay! JK Rowling should be attached to Harry Potter
Why a Brit? Why not a US actor? Damn.
I'm upset Peacemaker is canon as I wasn't a fan and bailed after one ep so hope that I won't miss stuff because I didn't watch it.
I said, James guns universe, and particularly from the DCEU the suicide squad, suicide squad and peacemaker that’s canon the other stuff isn’t. I still think Zach is going to finish his story, but that’s gonna be an Elseworlds
This is why I hope Apple buys Warner Brothers so then they can say shut up take the money and sit your tail down. We don’t need to see you anymore.
Are you saying they’d be telling WB to sit down or the audience?
I’m talking about Apple buying the studio and telling JK Rollins here’s Money. We don’t need to see you anymore.
