| 0:00.0 | Hello. Hello, Merlin. Ah, how are you? I'm doing good. How are you doing? Hmm. Hmm. I'm doing very well. |
| 0:08.0 | I started watching, uh, started watching Deadpool. Deadpool. It's a good, pretty good movie so far. I'm enjoying it. |
| 0:15.0 | Yeah, that was a weird one for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah. The first time in the theater. I liked it okay. I bought it. I saw it again. |
| 0:26.0 | But I really enjoyed it first viewing. I thought it was a brother-fresh air. Yeah, very different from especially the other sort of superhero movies that are around. |
| 0:35.0 | And it doesn't, as I think would be very expected for a Deadpool movie, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's fun. Enjoying it so far. |
| 0:45.0 | There's lots about it that's different. I mean, there's the, I think they got a lot right about that Deadpool. I mean, you know, how you choose to portray Deadpool. |
| 0:54.0 | I thought it was the way that Ryan Reynolds does him is very fun. The cast is fun. But also it's, um, it's different as you say, like it's different in tone very much. |
| 1:05.0 | And obviously there's a lot of fourth wall breaking. It does not take itself seriously. But it's also a little bit ambitious with storytelling. I thought the way that, you know, it, it, it treated us kind of intelligently with how it was compressing time with their relationship. How far in are you? |
| 1:21.0 | Halfway. Yeah. What do you like seeing a little bit more budget on going to Colossus? Yeah, I, uh, that didn't look, he doesn't look great. |
| 1:31.0 | And the, the girl, she's, I mean, she is technically an X-Men mutant, but like she's, as she's supposed to kind of, is this, is that a workaround on copyright? |
| 1:42.0 | She's supposed to kind of be who am I thinking of? Not Domino. Who's the one with the black eyes? |
| 1:48.0 | Um, it's a domino? I don't know. Who's the cool one with the, not Domino's pizza, Google. Google. |
| 1:57.0 | Um, I enjoyed it a lot. And I like the lady from the TV show. Domino, that's what I'm thinking of. I couldn't tell who she's supposed to be. |
| 2:04.0 | She's kind of like a kitty pride, kind of like a little bit of a domino. Isn't domino a roblo? I felt, I'm looking at the roblo. |
| 2:10.0 | Oh, that's, that's supposed to be domino. I mean, kind of, you know, I think it's a remanoclade. |
| 2:16.0 | I see it. That's like a goal. |
| 2:19.0 | No, she's fun. Yeah, well, the top. I was reading about that over the weekend. Do what? |
| 2:26.0 | Reading about golems over the weekend. I'm interested in golems. I need to learn about that. |
| 2:31.0 | Do golems are not in the Bible, right? It's a, it's more of a, I don't see it. I think there was, yeah, whether or not it's in the Bible, I don't think it was. |
