  • today.

  • We're talking Ezra Miller's mounting legal troubles and what it means for their future as The Flash and vince McMahon's wrestling woes is Vinnie Mac down for the count plus hide the kids hero Gaz um, has arrived.

  • It's all coming up in your Hollywood headlines.

  • No.

  • And here to help me break it all down is my man tom one of the voices over here at watch mojo.

  • Hey tom how's it going?

  • Good matt.

  • How are you?

  • I'm glad to be back.

  • Well, I'm so glad to have you back because we've got a lot to talk about.

  • We're gonna kick start things now with Ezra Miller.

  • This is a name that has been in the headlines quite a bit as of late.

  • You remember that they, we're in some trouble out there in Hawaii, there were some assault charges that were laid.

  • Well Miller's issues have now extended past Hawaii and have reached massachusetts North Dakota and there including accusations of violence, psychological intimidation, underage grooming and other forms of misconduct.

  • It's all very uncomfortable.

  • This of course posing a huge problem for the folks over there at Warner brothers because Ezra Miller is their star of The Flash.

  • That's right.

  • The flash movie set to hit the big screens.

  • Not until next year sources now saying that Warner Brothers wants to wash their hands of Ezra no matter what comes next.

  • But I mean their back is against the wall tom what's Warner brothers to do.

  • You know, I, I can't really speak to what they can do for the movie that's coming out because obviously that's already filmed and everything like that.

  • Um what I will say though is and they should never have been in this situation to begin with because they had a perfectly amazing flash in Grant Gustin in the tv show and The Flash.

  • This is very near and dear to my heart because The Flash is my favorite superhero of all time.

  • You know if I could have one superpower it would be super speed.

  • Um Yeah you know and he proved himself as a as a phenomenal flash and this is where I think D.

  • C.

  • Kind of falls short, nothing is really connected.

  • Um You know and you had D.

  • C.

  • Was in a position where they arguably kind of made superhero tv shows, you know a thing, you know.

  • Yeah you have your agents of Shield and all that good stuff.

  • Um You know of course you always had your animated, you know your your cartoons and everything but I'm talking about live action where people were actually really invested in the superheroes themselves, you know with the arrow verse that kind of arguably it started at all and I think they should have kept those actors and brought them into the movies because then you're gonna have fans of the movies and you're gonna have fans of tv shows coming together and you're gonna cross mediums so I don't know why they ever didn't do this in the first place and that's something that marvel does well it makes you care about the characters.

  • Um so I think that Ezra Miller, wherever he is, you know, obviously I I hope he's safe and everything like that and I hope that he gets the help that he needs and stuff.

  • But Warner brothers, I think this is the perfect opportunity for them to do what they should have done in the first place.

  • Uh Yeah, it is going to be a bit of a shame because as an actor, I did really enjoy Ezra Miller.

  • I thought they took some really great chances, especially as The Flash, as we always had me cracking up the mannerisms.

  • The things that they said, um I thought were pretty were pretty great in those films.

  • So I was actually looking forward to The Flash.

  • It will be weird because Warner brothers, they have a year to kind of sort through all this.

  • But it would be weird if they were to promote the film without Ezra Miller at the forefront.

  • So I don't I don't know how that could happen for those that are kind of saying, well what's the big deal?

  • Well, here's the big deal.

  • They d c put $200 million in the budget of the Flash, Michael Keaton, Michael Keaton is returning for this movie and Ben Affleck is said to be back as batman, it's all dealing with that multiverse as we talked about.

  • So it's a big, big deal.

  • So it will be interesting in Ezra Miller.

  • Um Yeah, just every time I see a headline I always, I don't know, it just makes me uneasy because you never know what's gonna come out because the stuff that's happened and they're saying is it's very uncomfortable.

  • Yeah, it's it's a lot of intense stuff that he's you know allegedly that he allegedly did and it's I mean I don't know, I mean it's gonna be weird I think that it's going to I think they're going to find him before then the movie comes out before like you really start promoting it and stuff.

  • But yeah, I don't think they're gonna allow him to be the face of it.

  • Um Not not with all of these allegations going around there's way too much.

  • Absolutely.

  • All right.

  • Speaking speaking of allegations, let's let's switch now to a different a different world, this is the world of professional wrestling now.

  • I'm actually I'm actually a fan of big big wrestling fan.

  • So this is mind blowing news that's come out over the past couple of weeks here and that has to do with W.

  • W.

  • E.

  • S.

  • Chairman.

  • Well I guess we should say now Ex Ceo Vince McMahon because he's actually stepped down.

  • He stepped down under accusations that he's paid hush money, $3 million to an ex employee.

  • So this is all the allegations right.

  • So there's an investigation that's going on Vince has stepped down as I said, which is a big deal because wrestling fans like myself thought, well, he's gonna have to die before Vince li Yeah, I mean, he was the face of the of that organization for a long.

  • I mean, you know, w w knew Vince McMahon.

  • I mean that, you know, they were synonymous, oh, and behind the scenes, he was the man that did all the, all the called the puppet master is what I call him.

  • But now it's his daughter, Stephanie McMahon has stepped in and here's the, here's what's really weird is Vince's showed up on Smackdown.

  • Uh, everyone thought, oh, is he gonna address all this?

  • No, he just kind of made a little brief statement and then he showed up on monday night raw on camera and didn't really talk about, he talked about john cena's returning.

  • I feel like this is Vince giving the middle finger saying, hey, I'm not going anywhere.

  • It's staying in the family, Stephanie is in charge now and this will all blow over and Vince is gonna stick around.

  • This is big news for wrestling fans.

  • It is, it is, you know, I mean, I think they said that he's still going to maintain kind of creative control behind the scenes of W.

  • W.

  • E.

  • Um, yeah, I, I'm an agreement that I think that, you know, definitely needs to be investigated.

  • And and if it's proven true, then he obviously should be, you know punished to the fullest, you know, the full extent of the law and you know he's got to pay the price so to speak for for committing these crimes and stuff.

  • But uh I just, you know, I don't I don't I think I think it is probably going to blow over eventually.

  • I don't know.

  • Especially nowadays where you know, um social media is just you know rampant and and nothing ever goes away.

  • I don't know that he will ever maintain that kind of public image like he used to.

  • But I don't see him stepping away from the organization fully should he though?

  • Because the man is in his seventies, mid seventies now or early seventies.

  • Um Some people behind the scenes have said that maybe Vince is out of touch.

  • Of course the people that were let go from the company may be small grudge.

  • But I mean listen, that's uh to hand it off to somebody else.

  • You know, Triple H is, he's taken on a roll back stage.

  • I mean he would step back from Nxt team, but this may be an opportunity for him to come in with with Stephanie.

  • I don't know.

  • I think personally for me, um I think maybe Vince could take a bow.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean I think for nothing else except the fact, okay, you know, he he built this empire and now it's time to, you know it's time for him to retire.

  • He's been at it for a long time.

  • He's not getting any younger.

  • Like the new the new generation of leaders of the W.

  • W.

  • E.

  • Step in and see what they can do with it.

  • I think it comes down to the events.

  • He doesn't I don't think the man knows what else to do.

  • Apparently he he sleeps very very little.

  • You can actually see it when you see pictures of him, his eyes red because he's that's his life W.

  • W.

  • E.

  • Of course he apparently has some extracurricular activities.

  • We won't get into too much of that.

  • Will let the investigation.

  • Okay.

  • Last thing for us here on the Hollywood headlines.

  • I gotta I gotta add it in because I don't know if you watch the show The Boys.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah Hero Gaz.

  • Um Now at the time of this recording I don't think you would have seen it.

  • I actually got a sneak peek.

  • I've seen really?

  • I've seen Hero Gaz.

  • Um Do you know what, I don't even know what this is.

  • You know I'm gonna be honest with you.

  • I don't because I'm not up on the comics of the Boys.

  • I do love the show but you know I guess you can kind of give me the uh the safer works synopsis so to speak.

  • Let me fill you in.

  • So yes it does go back to the comic because there is there's this infamous comic issue called the Hero Gaz.

  • Um And what it is is basically where heroes go to have an orgy let's just call it an orgy fun.

  • Uh but they go there in the comic.

  • Like they really go there and so there was all kinds of When the show became a hit on the Amazon on prime video, they were like, well are they actually gonna do here orgasm?

  • And all the cast kind of chimed in and we're really scared about the possibility they did it for this season.

  • Season three.

  • So it's the episode that's coming out and and I read that comic and I was like, well there's no way, but if you know the boys, you know that they will go there and tom they go there, are you a fan of that show by the way?

  • Yeah, I do like the boys a lot.

  • I do, I do.

  • My wife and I are a little bit behind, but when, when it first came out, I mean we were binging it and then the second season we loved it and um it's definitely on our list to catch up on.

  • Um But yeah, it's it's it's a very good show and I've always liked that, you know, I I don't want to compare it to Game of Thrones, but it doesn't shy away like Game of Thrones from like the intense subject matter and you know, the violence and the and everything like that.

  • I think it's I think it's a very good show.

  • No, definitely not for kids.

  • It's not.

  • It's not, you know, your dc extended universe for kids type thing, it's a different type of superhero show.

  • No, I don't think marvel or DC will be doing a hero.

  • Probably not.

  • No not not this year at least not not this phase but yeah, no it's definitely worth watching.

  • Just you know, prepare yourselves.

  • That's all I'm gonna say.

  • You'll see it unfold and maybe literally uh on screen Hero Guys, I'm with the boys, hey tom this has been so much fun.
