**Kirkland** (0:00)
Well, are you going, where are you, are we moving along to trailers, or what are we doing here? Yeah. What the fuck am I doing here?

**Dylan Taylor** (0:09)
Oh, let's take our final ad break, is that what you're trying to say? Yeah, let's take our final ad break. We'll be back.
We're back. All right, we're going to do a bit quicker, because what do we have? Yeah, we won't, let's see.

**Kirkland** (0:25)
There's like an hour's worth of trailers in here, so everybody knows.
I was folding laundry while I was doing this, so every once in a while, I had to pause the trailer. But man, I swear, it was like 45 minutes straight of just trailer watching. I'm not complaining or anything, but just it's dense.

**Dylan Taylor** (0:43)
One at a time, please.

**Kirkland** (0:48)
100%. 100%, I felt.
I mean, the trailer's not super fresh for you either. I'll just put that little disclaimer out there.

**Dylan Taylor** (0:55)
Yeah. I'm going to answer these two quickly because they were in the news. And again, patrons do, patrons in the question. Maddie did ask those patron questions. We're not going to get into full Odyssey. I'm just going to quickly list off the Odyssey achievements Kirkland.
Biggest opening global for Christopher Nolan's career, surprising Dark Knight Rises. Third biggest rate our film of all time for opening. Biggest opening for our live action film this year. Only had a 29 percent drop in its second weekend. Had a best second weekend for Christopher Nolan movie. Beat the opening weekend of Oppenheimer. This thing's on track to make a billion.
Maddie put its best way here. Final predictions for it. On a scale of 110, how surprised are you and the percentage of the, we already talked about that to the Odyssey thing. I think Odyssey would also not be to Avengers. And I'll say I'm like, for a surprise, I'm like, I don't know, out of 10, I'm like a 6.57, because I always thought I was gonna get to like 700 million. Didn't think it would make a billion. But if someone would have told me that, I wouldn't say like, it's impossible, just because Nolan's got that juice. And if he makes something great, I've even talked to my sister at no interest in seeing this, it's like, all right, enough people told me to see the Odyssey, I'm gonna go see the Odyssey. It just has, once I saw it, I was like, okay, it does have it. So I didn't think it was an impossibility. But yeah, do you think it was gonna be doing this well, Kirkland? It's tracking right now to hit to a billion, so.

**Kirkland** (2:25)
I did not.
I don't think I thought Oppenheimer would either though. Just under a bill.

**Dylan Taylor** (2:34)
Just under.

**Kirkland** (2:34)
But still like, That number. It didn't make a billion?

**Dylan Taylor** (2:38)
No, it's like 900 something, something. They got close.

**Kirkland** (2:41)
Yeah. So that was the big deal. It didn't Barbie.
Bargain a billion. Yeah. I thought both of them made a billion. That's why it was such a crazy.

**Dylan Taylor** (2:48)
Nada.

**Kirkland** (2:48)
I was lied to.
Yeah, definitely surprised. I think it's like it is like an adventure flick. But like it's, I don't know, some of the things they tackle are like pretty out there. And I feel like if you have no idea what the fuck is happening, like going into this movie, it could be pretty daunting. Even like the names of the characters and like what they're talking about. Like I have heard that from a lot of people that have seen this as like beginning the movie, I had no idea what the fuck was happening. But it's just so well made that they just stuck around for the ride and they enjoyed their three hour flick. And I think that's pretty awesome. I definitely think it's deserved. It's an amazing, amazing film. Very well made. Especially like I don't really get a lot of like, like I mean, you know, I'm not on Twitter. I don't get like the hot press of what people are thinking. But like the few little trinkles of things that I have seen are people like complaining about like the dumbest things about this movie. And I didn't even know that was like really a talking point. It shouldn't be, and it probably even isn't in like the grand scheme of things. Clearly not because it's making a lot of money. Yeah, but yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Because we...

**Dylan Taylor** (4:00)
That was on a Travis Told You where we talked, and I can just dovetail, because I think I talked about this somewhere, but maybe not because it's been in-person conversations. Maybe it was on Comic-Con cast a little bit, which has a long one. But I was on a Travis Told You, and I think it was something like Lepeda said in the press about being a woman's perspective. Yeah, I'm like you were, even though I am more tapped in, Mike had brought up that as a question, and I didn't even know what he was talking about till I looked into it, right? I followed Nolan Counts and everything like that.
