That Xavier at talktimelive.com, first of all, thank all three of you, because we're no longer specks of pepper in the sea of salt.
It's getting better out there, thanks to your contributions. My question for you, Charlamagne, is basically you did pick out the five varying covers. I know he wasn't your first. Did you have any honorable mentions, and how hard was it for you to do that?

**Charlamagne Tha God** (0:56)
I had a bunch of them, you know, the Thug Motivation 101, I think. It was one of them, it was Killer Mike, might have been the new one, Michael.
I had a bunch, I don't even remember all of them now, but yeah, it definitely was a bunch of them. And it is hard, right? But I think that what I look forward to is this book being successful, us continuing to be able to do sequels, and people getting more familiar with the characters. So when we do the next hip hop variant covers, it's really going to hit. Like, oh, okay, yeah, I see Lily out there, you know, whatever album we pick. So yeah, good deal.

Great picks.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Journal of My Life that covers all things anime, comics, movies, and games. This is ACMG presents TALK TIME LIVE, The Prime Show. I am your host, Xavier Josiah. Welcome to episode 500 Originally, I thought it was going to be the review of Spider-Man brand new day, but not the case. That's next week, meaning it's going to be 501 I'm actually going to do two episodes next week because one is going to be with myself and Boris Roberto Aguilar. We're going to just talk about the movie itself and that's going to be a video and audio episode. And then I'm going to do the normal show, which is going to be audio only. And we're just going to, I'm just going to talk about the latest news and everything and cover probably something else I didn't get a chance to cover for that week as well. So you know, this is this is crazy. But in that show's place, in that reviews place, we got a ton of San Diego Comic Con news. This falls into San Diego Comic Con weekend. So which means there's going to be a lot of Marvel news to talk about. Well, you know what, there's going to be Marvel news to talk about. It's not going to be a lot. I think this year alone, it felt like it wasn't as news heavy as it normally is prior years with Marvel and Hall H panels. But nonetheless, we still got some impactful news that we're going to talk about. We're going to also run down a lot of things that were covered and announced at San Diego Comic Con and just really run it down from there. I also have my thoughts on Marvel Token Fighting Souls, which the open beta came out. So I want to give my thoughts on that. We also have my thoughts on STUART FAILS to SAVE THE UNIVERSE. And as mentioned, I will be talking about my review of the Illuminati. Charlamagne Tha God presents Illuminati, AWA Publishing's latest Newar supernatural crime thriller that they put out. And I covered that in 2024 when they did a press event for it and a panel for it. And I got a chance to talk with Charlamagne Tha God and such at that time. So we'll cover all of that. In fact, that will be the first thing I cover and then we'll run down everything from there. And in our talk topic of the week, I managed to go in and put in and resubscribe to Paramount Plus.
And this is like, I think, the second time I did this, because the only time I'm going to Paramount Plus, they don't have much I want to see. And what they have, I can watch in other, you know, streaming platforms, but they do have exclusives. The last time I think I reviewed anything from Paramount Plus was the Knuckles series.
Now, it's Avatar Aang, The Last Airbender, which is the latest movie in the Avatar, you know, genre to come out. And I want to get my thoughts on that, because, oof, that was, that man, that movie.
