| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, it's Amy Poehler, and I'm launching a new podcast called Good Hang. |
| 0:05.0 | In preparation for that, I asked some of my friends to send in some videos and give me some advice. |
| 0:11.0 | Just be yourself and the guests will come. |
| 0:13.0 | Don't be the celebrity that this is their like sixth thing they're doing. |
| 0:16.0 | I love two crime and cooking podcasts. Is there any way you could combine the two? Well, |
| 0:22.4 | everyone has an opinion and a podcast. |
| 0:24.8 | So, join me for good hang. |
| 0:27.0 | It's rough out there. We're just trying |
| 0:28.7 | to lighten it up a little. Hello and welcome into the Ringerverse, your nexus feed for all things fandom. |
| 0:50.0 | I am Ben Lindberg, senior editor for The Ringer and Noob SciBot of Button Mashed, joined by my original co-host, Jessica Scorpion Clemens. Hi, Jess. Get over here. Always wonderful. That was a good one. That was pretty good. Thank you. Get over here. I can only do it a couple of times. I think I'm not supposed to go that low in my register. Don't wear out your voice. We have a lot of talking to do. Come here. |
| 1:12.6 | Always wonderful to have you back here. My OG co-hosts, friendship, friendship. |
| 1:19.0 | We're here to talk about Mortal Kombat 2 in theaters now, and this time actually featuring a |
| 1:24.9 | Mortal Kombat tournament. How about that? Will we pronounce a flawless |
| 1:28.5 | victory or will we like Shaqan declare it's official? You suck. Or is it, you know, somewhere in |
| 1:34.6 | between perfect and terrible? We will fill you in. And if you care about spoilers for a Mortal |
| 1:39.2 | combat movie, don't worry, we will save them for the end and give you a warning. Briefly, before we get to this, Jess, you saw the Super Mario Galaxy movie, right? |
| 1:48.1 | Yes, I did. And you are familiar with motion picture star Fox McLeod? I am. Motion picture star, Fox McLeod, 100%. Yeah, star of screen. And guess what? He's also a video game character. Did you know that? He's not just a blockbuster animated movie character, but he's been in some video games and he's about to be in a new one. And that is the talk of the video game internet this week because there was a surprise dropped Nintendo Direct, which is rare on Wednesday, |
| 2:20.6 | where we learned, really confirmed because it uncharacteristically had already leaked that there |
| 2:25.6 | was going to be a Fox McLeod game. And we saw it. We saw it in action and we know what it is. |
| 2:31.0 | It is a remake of Star Fox 64. What did you think of the announcement and the internet? |
| 2:37.2 | I'm not, I'm not the biggest Fox MacLeod. I didn't play Star Fox that much, but I know of Star Fox. The most I play of all the characters is just in Smash mainly. Of course. But I mean, the characters are cool as hell. I'm not going to say they're not. |
| 2:52.5 | The story, I think, is also really fun. |
