0:00.0	This is my fanboy MediaSpload, episode 13.
0:30.0	Hello, welcome to my fanboy MediaSpload. My name is Connor Copacic, and I'm here with Josh Flanagan.
0:39.2	Hi there, and Ron Richards. Hello, and this is the iFamily MediaSpload, our monthly show,
0:44.8	Unlocked by the patrons over at patreon.com slash iFanboy, who unlocked the show if we talk about
0:50.4	non-comics media, we do our weekly pick the week show, we talk about comics, we do our special edition
0:55.5	shows and our talks blows and most blows. This is our chance to talk about things that aren't related
0:58.4	to comic books. It's nice. It's a nice take a break. Cop out cleanser, which is great for all of us.
1:03.5	We normally start the show with discussing what we're going to enjoy on streaming, since we last spoke
1:09.3	because what else is there to do? We're still on lockdown, basically. So why don't we start off?
1:15.1	I'll start off. All right, I move forward. So this past month I've been watching a lot of Oscar
1:19.5	films and anticipation of the Oscars that happened past weekend, so I didn't watch a lot of shows,

1:38.8	the rock twin Johnson. You're kidding. It sounds like exactly the kind of thing that Connor would
1:43.7	really like if it wasn't garbage. One camera 30 minutes sitcom about the rock's life, and it's
1:49.4	the light full on many levels. First of all, the rock is in it. The conceit of the show is kind of
1:55.2	dumb. It's that in 2000 and like 32 or something of rocks running for president. And so while he's
2:01.9	on the campaign trail, he tells stories of his life. That's the conceit of the show. So this is like
2:06.7	everybody hates Chris, but yes, Randall Park is the interviewer always interviewing him. So the
2:12.4	two of them open and close each episode. I'm going to recommend this to you guys for two reasons.
2:17.8	We all love the rock. Sure. The actors playing the rock. So you see that you see him in high school,
2:23.3	you see him as like an eight-year-old, and you see him in college. Everyone playing the rock is
