0:00.0	I'm gonna wait out here, okay?
0:02.4	It's a big house.
0:03.4	It's funny that I only ever see two of you.
0:04.9	It's almost like the studio couldn't afford another X-Man.
0:08.2	Hello and welcome once again to the Cinephiles, where we are continuing our exploration of Deadpool. My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California. Maximum effort. Hello, everyone. My name is John Roka. I'm a writer, producer, host, and voiceover artist here in San Diego, California. I guess I should say critic. You know, I don't say critic enough when I do this kinds of things, but I guess I should say that. I'm trying to embrace that a little bit more. But yes, excited. Do you have secret shame about criticism? Sometimes I do. Yeah. I think there's always been a sense of like, what do they call that? What do the actors call it when they think they're going to get found out?

1:30.6	I guess that's fair. Right. I mean, like, yeah, there are.
1:33.3	Such a good actor. He's a fantastic actor and you are a great critic. I think the jury has come back in. The verdict is that you can call yourself critic. There should be no imposter syndrome.
1:45.8	I appreciate that very much.
1:47.2	Please tell my YouTube comment thread that.
1:48.8	I will not talk to your YouTube comment thread.
1:52.5	I'm your friend, but I'm not stupid.
1:55.0	It's a fair point.
1:57.9	Anyway, we're here to talk on Deadpool, not me.
2:00.2	Yes.
