Spooky Season Comics with Sam

Jackie Conley
This week on the No More Late Fees podcast, we are joined by our good pal and host of four Minutes to podcast. Sam. Welcome back Sam. 

Sam Harper
Hey everybody. 

Jackie Conley
I feel like we're always counting down for when you come back on the show, because we just love having you. 

Jackie Conley
We really do think you're tied for the most guest spots. 

Danielle Clarke
Oh, yeah. Is this your. This is your third. Yes. So what does Gwen. 

Jackie Conley
Think when is done? Three. She may have done four, but I feel like she's done three. 

Danielle Clarke
She did. She's all that Harry Potter. 

Jackie Conley
Bridget Jones and Bridget. 

Danielle Clarke
Jones. 

Jackie Conley
Yeah. We have to get you. You got to bring me on. Yeah. 

Cross Talk
By the end of this year. Figure it out. Just put me on. I need to at least be tired. 

Jackie Conley
And I'm really excited about the movie you chose. We did pivot so that we could actually record a movie episode. An excellent choice with cube. Yeah, I was very excited and it felt a little 13 ghosts esque. So I feel like we're we're on a trajectory with Sam in his war movies. 

Cross Talk
There's actually a funny story with this choice. This is the wrong movie. 

Jackie Conley
Oh no. Is it? 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Cross Talk
So I saw a movie. Well, like when I was in the teenager. Like, I call up the, like the last 90 minutes, like the last hour of it. And I really loved it and like, really liked it, but I never saw it again. And I thought it was cube. It actually the sequel. Cube two hypercube. 

Danielle Clarke
Oh no. Well, that one's still in our time frame, so we can always do that again. I mean, do it next time. 

Cross Talk
I'll definitely if you if you do. 

Jackie Conley
We were close. 

Sam Harper
Very. Yeah. 

Cross Talk
Or like I got halfway through this movie, I was just like, wait a second. Oh. And then I looked at the trailer for cube two. I was like, this is the movie. 

Danielle Clarke
That's how I felt with National Treasure. 

Cross Talk
Oh, you thought it was the second you thought it was the first one? 

Danielle Clarke
But I was real excited to do it. And then watching it, I was like, wait a minute, where's Mount Rushmore? And Jackie was like, that's the second one, boo boo. 

Jackie Conley
And it's not in our time frame. 

Danielle Clarke
It's not in our time. 

Sam Harper
Frame at all. 

Danielle Clarke
But that's okay. Our wonderful friends at Rotten Treasures are going to let us do that, that movie with them. Yeah. So I'm excited. So what's new? Anything new going on with you? How's the podcast going? 

Sam Harper
Oh, it's going good. Why don't you. 

Danielle Clarke
Tell everybody about it if they haven't listened to your other two episodes? 

Cross Talk
Oh, the podcast four minutes to the four minute podcast, giving you all things geek from the previous week. It's a recap podcast that's about four minutes long, and it basically gives you everything you need to know in the world of geek from the previous week. Comics Geek news, some geek media. Like last week I did not Castlevania Nocturna, which just came out on Thursday, and I covered a comic book, Power Girl number one. So basically, if you're a busy geek with stuff to do and you want to keep this keeps the stay in the loop, I'm your guy all in the time it takes to take a coffee break. 

Sam Harper
Nice, I love it. 

Danielle Clarke
Well, staying within the comic book genre, there are so many of our favorite movies that their source materials were actually comic books, so we thought we would have you rank some of those horror comics. You're not going to know what order they're coming in, one being the best, eight being the worst. You have to. Rank them as they come. 

Sam Harper
Oh, okay. 

Danielle Clarke
So we just pick source materials that were ended up being movies in our time frame. 

Sam Harper
So okay. 

Jackie Conley
Our first one is Hellboy. 

Cross Talk
This is the original one with Guillermo del Toro. 

Danielle Clarke
Well, we're not doing the movies. We're doing the source materials for the comic books. 

Cross Talk
Hellboy is it's it's got to be in the top five. I'm to be safe. I'm going to put it at four. 

Sam Harper
Okay, perfect. 

Jackie Conley
Constantine. 

Sam Harper
That's two. 

Jackie Conley
Blade. 

Sam Harper
Sorry. 

Cross Talk
It's five. There's a lot of blurs that are really upset with me right now. 

Jackie Conley
30 days of night. 

Cross Talk
That is number one. I was waiting for that. 

Sam Harper
Wow. 

Jackie Conley
The crow. 

Cross Talk
A respectful. 

Sam Harper
Six. 

Jackie Conley
The Death Note. 

Danielle Clarke
I knew this was gonna kick. 

Sam Harper
You in the ass. So we. 

Jackie Conley
Have three, seven and eight left. 

Cross Talk
Yeah, I know I'm trying to decide whether or not I should give it three or should I give it seven? 

Sam Harper
Uh. 

Cross Talk
I'm going to have to give it. I'm going to have to give it seven. Just just because. 

Jackie Conley
Tales from the crypt. 

Cross Talk
I'm going to give that three because it's a classic. 

Jackie Conley
It really. 

Sam Harper
Is. 

Jackie Conley
And then our last one is Bon defaults to eight. 

Sam Harper
We talked. 

Danielle Clarke
About blade. Blades are going to kill you. 

Sam Harper
Oh man. 

Cross Talk
They're gonna like nail me to the wall okay. 

Sam Harper
He's looking. 

Danielle Clarke
For them right now because they heard. 

Sam Harper
You. 

Cross Talk
Yeah, I just killed all the credit I got for the fans. I might have just gotten awesome. 

Sam Harper
Awesome, awesome awesome. 

Cross Talk
Todd McFarlane, please. Just. Sorry. 

Danielle Clarke
So just to recap, number one, you said 30 days of night. Number two, Constantine. Number three, tales from the crypt. Number four, Hellboy five, blade six, The Crow seven, Death Note and 888 spawn. 

Sam Harper
You don't have to rub it in. 

Cross Talk
You could have. You could have said spawn first. You wait. You waited till the end. And that was good. That was. 

Sam Harper
That was good. You just like. 

Jackie Conley
To mess with Sam. 

Cross Talk
I'm literally going to have to put out a tweet as soon as this comes out. 

Danielle Clarke
Well, I have a question for all of us. Obviously we're doing cube, so. The question is, if you were locked in this cube world and you could bring one fictional character, doesn't matter which medium, would you. What? Who would you bring? Who would you want to help get you out? And if they have superpowers that has nothing to do with like their mental abilities, they wouldn't be able to use it. So keep that in mind. 

Jackie Conley
I have a question. 

Sam Harper
Yes. 

Jackie Conley
In our Daredevil episode, did we determine that he had super powers or his other sentience? Senses were heightened because he didn't have his sight. 

Danielle Clarke
I, I don't know, but Sam, from a comic book standpoint, does Daredevil have like, actual enhanced abilities? I could pull out my Marvel encyclopedia. 

Cross Talk
But it it's enhanced on that goes on to go to a superpower level. Yeah. 

Danielle Clarke
Um, for me, it's. It's Doctor Who. I'm bringing Doctor Who with me, because the whole vibe of this movie felt like a Doctor Who episode. And I could just so see him in that scenario. 

Speaker: 4
Like dealing with the. 

Danielle Clarke
People in that situation and getting me out to safety. So that's who I would pick. Now which doctor? Like which version of himself? I that's too hard. You would do ten for ten. 

Cross Talk
It's ten. 

Danielle Clarke
I don't know because. Is he 12 or 13? 

Speaker: 5
No. 

Danielle Clarke
Oh, man. 

Sam Harper
Oh, that's. 

Cross Talk
1212. 

Sam Harper
It's 1212. 

Danielle Clarke
It's just the. The war. 

Sam Harper
The war? 

Danielle Clarke
Yeah, yeah. 

Cross Talk
Just like asterisks that. Right. 

Danielle Clarke
But I might go with him, actually, even though I love tenet. I love ten. 

Jackie Conley
Actually nine would be my choice. I love nine and doctor is my favorite. 

Danielle Clarke
I did love him. I was, I remember because I didn't watch it in real time. So when it was happening, I was really sad that like I'm like, wait a minute, this bitch got, who the hell is this? 

Cross Talk
That first time happened to I was just like, oh, wait, they changed the actor completely every time. 

Danielle Clarke
And then I was like, oh, they keep doing this shit. 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Jackie Conley
So they just pretend to be the person that just left the show, but like in the body. 

Sam Harper
But when they put on it but. 

Danielle Clarke
They have a different a little bit of different personality traits when they regenerate. So I like that. I can't wait for the new one to see how that's going to be. I feel like they dropped the ball, unfortunately with Jodie, but. It wasn't all bad. Anyway, that's who I'd pick. Where do you guys got? 

Jackie Conley
Another question. 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Cross Talk
What's the question? 

Jackie Conley
Are we saying that with witches and wizards have superpowers? 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Danielle Clarke
I mean, I would say that if Doctor Who was with me, he wouldn't be able to use his sonic screwdriver. Right. I would say that's. And he would just have to use his brains. 

Jackie Conley
I'm going with Hermione Granger anyways. 

Sam Harper
That was just smart. Yeah. 

Cross Talk
Mister Fantastic. 

Danielle Clarke
Yes, he is extremely, extremely smart. 

Cross Talk
I think with his pattern recognition, you look around and he, like you, had this all solved before I got hungry. 

Danielle Clarke
100%. I think more than anything, I just feel like Doctor Who would be able to like. We have really nice speeches and calm people down who were acting the fuck up the anti Quinton. 

Cross Talk
He is the anti Quinton. Yes. 

Danielle Clarke
Yeah 100%. 

Jackie Conley
He had no chill. 

Danielle Clarke
Well all very good answers. My second pick would have been Batman. 

Speaker: 5
Yeah, I can see that. 

Cross Talk
Just like he doesn't have anything to punch. So he would punch Quentin. 

Sam Harper
Yeah. That's fair. 

Cross Talk
No, that's fair, that's fair. 

Sam Harper
I mean. 

Jackie Conley
I would have punched Quinn. Quinn would have been tied up with those shoelaces before. Like the third room. I'd be like, no, you're staying here. You've been voted off the island. 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Jackie Conley
So, Sam, you were already familiar with this, but we're going to make you do it again. Um. We used to work for blockbuster, and so we were able to have blockbuster recommendations for some of our favorite movies from 95 to 2005. So as an honorary blockbuster employee, let us know what your three employee picks would be. 

Danielle Clarke
To make it easier, why don't we make it spooky season themed so you pick your favorite horror movies. 

Cross Talk
So 30 days of night because that is like one of my favorite vampire movies. 28 Days Later. It. 

Danielle Clarke
Think 30 Days of Night Might Have Come came out in like 2006, 2007. I don't know if it's in 2005. Okay. But it's no biggie. It's close enough. 

Sam Harper
Yeah. 

Cross Talk
Okay. All right then. Cool. Dracula 2000. 

Sam Harper
Good one that. 

Cross Talk
That was Dracula. Like. Like Gerard Butler had. Like he had the he had the juice at that moment. Like. That scene when he walks into, like the Virgin Megastore, like everyone's looking at him like. Yeah, like, yeah, I would too, I would too. 

Sam Harper
Um. 

Danielle Clarke
So very excellent. Why don't you tell everybody where they can find your podcast and your podcast, social media so they can follow along? 

Cross Talk

Speaker: 6

Cross Talk
A person that would actually change his mind like next year. Like, you know what? It was better as Twitter and turn it back to Twitter and everyone just be mad at me. 

Sam Harper
He's. 

Danielle Clarke
Well, I don't know, like, people are talking about the fact that they they're changing. They change the terms of service. And now that your tweets will be used to teach, I. Yeah. And I'm just like, I just want to run away. I don't know where to go. But these people are pushing us to the finish line of Terminator. I'm telling you. 

Cross Talk
Like, it's just like you saw the movies. You know what happens. Why are we going this route? We could just write and. 

Danielle Clarke
And the lady that got her stuff, like her ideas stolen from her for Terminator and the Matrix. When I realized that they're supposed to be think they're supposed to be connected, I'm like, wait a minute. So you tell me. We go through the Terminator stuff first and then we're in the fucking matrix. You know what? I don't want it. Put me in the cube. I'm done. 

Jackie Conley
You lay down, take a nap for a while.
