It's so interesting to hear the difference in enthusiasm. Sure, hindsight is 20-20, but still. The last time I heard Kev talk about BvS, he said something like "I've watched that movie a dozen times, hoping to find the thing that'll make me like the movie, it just hasn't happened."

"That movie will make 2 billion, mark my words!" If anyone else is curious, according to Box Office Mojo, Batman V Superman grossed $873,634,919 worldwide.

Kevin used to say 2 billion about almost every movie he was hyped right around the time Avengers became a success. Until Last Jedi, since then he seems to have started to be a bit more realistic actually never saying Endgame would hit it let alone beat avatar. In this case if you look at the talk online after the comic con trailer it was on track to hit about 1.5, since at that point it was the most viewed trailer with almost universal positive response, then the doomsday trailer came, lowering expectations to 1.2. And then it turned out to be a dumster fire. So the people who were expected to be 2-4 times repeat customers like what happened with tdk and tdkr didn't bother giving it a second chance in hopes they didn't get it. But even the ultimate edition couldn't save the fact that while it looked great and had the best batman fight scene ever put to film. You could see it on youtube and wb didn't think that it would hurt the movie gambling on the 2 hour build up to a 10 minute fight that makes no sense would be the main attraction.

To be fair Kevin thinks every film will make a billion dollars. He says stuff like 'you put the name Batman in a film and people will turn up just for that' forgetting the films of the 90's showed that definitely isn't true. He's an eternal optimist, and sometimes his over enthusiasm can be a bit annoying, but as he himself has pointed out, better to be excited about everything than think everything is shit, because at least he's happy and there is no joy in criticising absolutely everything. All those who have made angry KZread videos about the last two Star Wars films, they're not happy people.

An old human custom known as applause. It happens when people collectively group together and agressively slap their hands together to create sound and spread germs.

Holy Shit I was at this show and a part of the Shout-out at 28:36 I had no idea they even shot this. I’m so fucking happy this exists.

This was my first HBO podcast episode I listened for the first time when it came out :)

27:42 Best acting Kevin has ever done, brilliant. xD

This is 100% one of my favorite episodes ever! I remember listening to this 7 years ago when I moved to Texas! This is great! Did they film everything the whole time?

Batfleck did hold a guy over the edge of a building in Justice League. Kevin's predictions are only good when he doesn't proclaim them as such.

It's.....the Old World.....so strange to see these in color...... Thank the Lord for Kev and Ralph!

No, he did an OK job. There was nothing great about his performance in either film. At the end of the day, he was just a dude who never read a comic book in his entire life playing a serial killer in a rubber suit, which is absolutely nothing like the character.

Thank You

1:19:45 Holy Shit they broke the news about Chris Hemsworth playing hulk hogan 9 years ago

Saw Bryan Callen there a few years back. Great venue.

Please cast Ben Affleck as the moose in Moose Jaws !

Hey, Kev. Any chance we could see some more old-school stuff from you guys? I remember watching non-stop that Dark Knight Rises Review both of you did. One of my favourite videos in all of KZread. Ralph's Michael Caine impression had me in tears. Any Fatman on Batman would be great but that's the one that has stuck with me the most. Please, man.

Can we all call an end to immediately saying X actor is the worst (or best) thing ever? It happens ALL the time and then in hindsight everyone says I love that actor as X character! I could never see another one, this is the best version... (or worst, etc) Every, single, time. For fuck's sake people, just wait to SEE the movie and THEN judge it for what it is.

Kevin

Look back at this now it's very clear...Ralph Garman 1 Kevin Smith 0

Well this hasn't aged well !!

imagine telling them in 2020 that the gay kid from twilight would be playing batman. you would be thrown out of there so fast ...........

BvS did NOT make 2 billion😂

BvS didnt even make a billion $

Superman v Batman did not make anywhere close to 2 billion dollars, and when the movie launched Kevin did what he always does; he pretended to absolutely love it for a while, then years later he shits all over it. He did the same thing with Man of Steel and Justice League, and he'll do the same thing with Star Wars. I love the guy, but I wish he could be objective in real time.

his not bane now his vain

Was bat fleck good?

Martha!

Why does Kevin repeatedly make that stupid Affleck / Jaws comparison? It's illogical, and Affleck's not even that great of an actor. He's fine, but find a different character to compare him to.

The movie's hot garbage but batfleck was alright. It still boggles my mind how horribly they fucked that movie up. that shoulda been the easiest movie to make.
