Weird Mind News Room Episode 177: July 13th - 19th

 *Music to defy the Gods*

Well Hello again to all of you wonderful people across the globe and beyond, my name is Sam and I will like to welcome you to the newest episode of my weekly series of Weird Mind News Room where for another week we will be delving into the realm of all new Releases, the Trailers and News that has come across the landscape of the last week, so lets not waste the time of usual introductions and lets get to talking on all things media for another week.

A grand journey of New Releases

Movies

The Odyssey

On the first of the new Releases for this week will be the major overall focus on one of the big blockbusters of the summer that has had quite the array of opinions, mixed outcomes and debate on the focus of casting, historical accuracy and some other elements akin to this, but it will be seeing in this case that through all of it, this will be given a focus on its simple tagline of Defy the Gods, as it is the return of Christopher Nolan bringing his all new big Summer Blockbuster with a focus adaption on one of the greatest pieces of literature as we have the release of his take on The Odyssey. Based on the book and stories of Homer, the film will tell the tale of Odysseus (Matt Damon), the legendary Greek King of Ithaca, on his long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War, chronicling his encounters with mythical creatures such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe, while attempting to reunite with his Wife Penelope. Reception on this new film has truly defied the gods and has recieved very strong positive reception with praise on the performances (especially to Damon, Pattinson, Holland, Hathaway and Leguizamo), the cinematography, set pieces, genre blending and being one of this years best films after a whole wave of doubt, though most complaints seem to be aimed at the lack of the accurate cinema formatting to watch it (as it was filmed in 70mm IMAX but there is very little screens of that format outside of the US and Canada and hopefully that will be fixed in the future) and if you want to check it out for yourself then you can catch this film out now in cinemas.

Heartstopper Forever

As for the 2nd of the films for this week, It will be a focus of less on a massive summer blockbuster but will be more in the focus of something that is seen more as a long lasting Summer Romance as the journey of these 2 have gone through many locations and hardships and is all wrapping up to be coming to an end with one big romantic conclusion film as we have the release of the finale film version of the popular series with Heartstopper Forever. The film will follow on from the popular series and book series adaption and will focus on the continuing love and relationship of Nick and Charlie, but things may see become a bit of a hurdle for them as challenges lay ahead for both of them with Nick getting ready to leave for University and Charlie taking on more new responsibilities in school. Reception on this finale film has been very well recieved with praise on the performances, representation, relatable issues and for being a respectful and emotional send off of this popular series, and if you want to check it out for yourself then you can catch the full film and series now on Netflix.

TV Shows

The Hawk

On the side of TV for this week, we will be first turing to the side of sport for this week and while the world will be tuning in for the last of the matches of the overall massive game of football (and I will say that it is football not soccer), it looks like this streamer will be focused on another massive sport and from a professional that you may not be overly familiar with but they have the ego and skill to make it his game.... I think, as we are staying with Netflix and with the focus of a new Golf based comedy with the series known as The Hawk. The series follow Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins (Will Ferrell), A washed up, former No.1 ranked Golfer in the world, who looks set to recapture his magic of his peak performance of 2004 by competing in the US Open all to complete his Career Grand Slam. Reception on this new series has not been the most well recieved by Critics that praise the concept and Farrells performance, though the narrative and humour can leave a little to be desired, but if you want to hit the fairways, then you can catch the full series now on Netflix.

Lucky

For the last of the new releases for this week will be in a focus to a bit more of an action based project and one in the focus of a female led action based ordeal that from someone that may have things planned out, must find a solution to a situation that may have not gone the way it was supposed to as we have the release of the all new miniseries known as Lucky. The series will follow the titular character (Anya Taylor Joy) a con-artist who ends up on the run after a multimillion-dollar heist goes sideways. Now being pursued by the FBI and a ruthless Crime Boss, Lucky will soon have to fight for her life and for a way out. Reception on the series so far seems to be decently well recieved with praise on the lead performance and the focus on the narrative, even if it can feel a little by the numbers but the focal performance helps to bring the appeal and if you want to check it out for yourself then you can catch the first 2 episodes now on Apple TV+ with a new episode releasing every Wednesday.

Trailers of Luck

Digger

Moving over to trailers and this first one is going to be quite the ordeal of a focus that at first when I heard this I felt this could be some simple concept of the story of a real life person, but as the teaser and reports about the project become more clearer in the grander scale from different fesitvals, it seems this is going to be a comedy and concept that will be going all out on being a bit more insane, as we have gotten the trailer for the all new title from Oscar winner Alejandro G. Inárritu with the first look at Digger. The film will follow Digger Rockwell (Tom Cruise) the most powerful man in the world must race against time to prove that he is humanity's saviour before the disaster that he has caused destroys everything. Now the idea of this doesn't sound the most elaborate and insane as this director has made some strange concepts before (I mean just look at Birdman for a weird viewing trip experience) but the ideals of this seems like it is going all in on being a little out there and all out mad. Its also strange to see Tom Cruise in a title with this level of makeup and prosthetics (the last time I saw this was with his role in Tropic Thunder) but I am interested to see his approach in the concept of a lead in a black comedy when he usually is the lead of a lot of action based titles, but after watching the trailer I am even more intrigued by this and I could see this as being another title that could be making a bit of a presence in the awards circuit but I guess we will see in due time with this film digging its way into cinemas from the 2nd of October.

I Play Rocky

But speaking of some award season titles I can see on the way, this next trailer will be more in the focus to the biographical tale with this next entry as we will be taking a trip back about half a century as we will be given a focus to the tale of the battle and dedication through hardship that in this hardship, a champion will be created and the history of cinema will find another all time classic being created as we have the release of a trailer for the all new true story known as I Play Rocky. The film will follow the story of a younger Sylvester Stallone (Anthony Ippolito) who tries to get into the industry but sees it as a struggle from not being seen as a star. In retaliation, he sets out to write his own screenplay for the film of Rocky and betting everything on himself to play the lead character against seemingly impossible odds and will see the result of the ultimate underdog story behind the most famous of underdog films. It can be said that if there was a list of the most influential films of cinema, I am sure that a few will agree Rocky deserves a spot on that list and seeing a story of how this all comes about is an interesting one. I also have to say they chose someone that looks the actual image of Stallone that if you told me the first look image they released of this a few weeks ago was a photo from his late 20s then I would believe you and I feel he has the look and tone of the actor down well and after seeing this footage I am honestly impressed and in most case very more interested to check out this title and can see this as similar to the original Rocky as another film getting some awards buzz (once the reception is good of course) but I can guess we can see by the time the film makes its way to the ring of cinemas from the 6th of November.

The Dog Stars

On the next trailer for this week is with a trailer I didn't even known had dropped this week until I was researching up what was out this week and it seems this one dropped out of nowhere but I feel with the concept of this film, it was expected they kept it quiet with the smallest bit of a possible connection of Humanity being present out there when all hoped seemed lost as we have what I assume will be the final trailer for the upcoming adaption from Ridley Scott with a new look at The Dog Stars. Now based on the novel by Peter Heller, the film is set in a world after the events of a devastating Flu Pandemic that has almost eradicated humanity and will follow Hig (Jacob Elordi), a civilian pilot, and Bangley (Josh Brolin), a hardened Ex Marine as they confront outside threats and hold onto the possibility of a better life beyond where they currently live when they search for a signs of a mysterious radio transmission. There is something about this film that feels a little off, cause this is something from a massive director like Scott that you think this would be getting a lot of attention and while it is getting some views and numbers but it seems like this may be one that is overlooked but it could be one that has some potential given its releasing in a very quiet period of films heading into the fall and I can say that Scott still makes some entertaining films in recent memory like The Last Duel, House of Gucci and even Gladiator 2 was enjoyable so I will give it a chance and hopefully will see him bounce back in terms of appeal real soon but I am sure we will see by this films release on August 29th in cinemas.

The Uprising

The last of the trailers of this week will be another form of a historical epic in focus, but where the big tentpole film of the week is from a journey and scripture written around 3000 years ago or more, this is more of a project more closer in history and closer to home for me but will show the case of how one small change and ripple effect against a higher power will change the course of history, as Paul Greengrass brings us the first trailer for his upcoming new Historical true story with a trailer for the Uprising. Set in England in 1381 and to the backdrop of the Peasants Revolt which will see a farmer (Andrew Garfield) lead a rebellion against the forces of the then 14-year-old King Richard II. I can say that we really don't get a lot of these historical war setting akin to this as much compared to the wars from the previous century and there is always something interesting in the approach to them of some parts of history that are not often told to death in so many forms of media, but from the trailer and the performances and style I am interested in the approach they are going with this and I feel this will bring back more titles and films focused on conflicts further back in the past and I am interested in see this new title and will check it out when it does and you can too when this uprising marches its way into cinemas from the 11th of September in the US and October 9th elsewhere.

News to defy some gods

plenty of Casting, projects and release dates to go around

Now we are back here in the news section and we got a fresh new and tasty serving of Hodge Podge to serve up this week that will consist of a few areas, with a splash of Superhero topics, a couple of surprise project unveiling with various opinions on the choice and outcome and a few dates that this serving will be best before, but let us delve in and give a taste of what we have in store for this big hefty serving of stories this week.

So we will start with all of the big Superhero news and while we are only about 2 weeks away from the newest title of the friendly neighbourhood wall crawler and then the tickets are reportedly on sale for the big team up of Christmas, it looks like there will be some discussions of projects looking a little further into the future with this first one is going a fair bit more cosmic for a project that initially was scrapped from a tv concept to a different format and being revived from it as it was announced this week that a new film based on the character of Nova is in the works and the film is being written by LOKI showrunner Michael Waldron. Now the character is based on one of 3 known names of Richard Ryder, Frankie Raye and Sam Alexander that was a member of the Nova Corps that we last saw in the first Guardians film and last heard about it being decimated by Thanos before Infinity War with them having powers of flight, enhanced strength and the ability to withstand major injury and I feel that the case will be that they are the last of his race of citizens that will look to provide the peace in that form and I am surprised it has taken this long for them to appear in the MCU. Now initially it was supposed to be made into a TV series before that was initially scrapped sometime last year but it seems that it was reportedly reworked into a film after it was spotted on Waldron's WGA profile and likely it was going to be announced next week at Comic Con as well as the supposed casting which one that it could be from the constant discussion of Ryan Gosling but another name I have heard of a frontrunner is Stranger Things Star Joe Keery which in fairness I think could be a decent choice but nothing has been made official. Now I am sure we will see if they are true by next week at comic con but if there is any word I will let you know.

Speaking of Marvel and some other casting news, there is another massive group that has been quiet on the side of casting news but it seems that they will be a major focus in an upcoming saga after the multiverse and that is on the side of the Mutants as we have some casting rumours floating about of the upcoming MCU take on the X-Men. Now we have had some in the past and there is one that is still up in the air that may be unveiled in 2 weeks on the case that Sadie Sink could be the new version of Jean Grey but we will see by that films release, but in this case we have a focus of 3 other characters that are in focus of a possible casting, with 2 being considered for one role and then 1 of those actors being chosen for an extra rumour and we will start with that choice as it was reported that Star Wars and Megalopolis star Adam Driver has been considered or rumoured for 1 of 2 roles in the film with him potentially portraying either Magneto or the mutant villain of Mister Sinister. Now either of them will be an interesting choice and I can see him portray a decent villain or anti-hero, especially with Sinister. Magneto may be one that feels a little odd but it was proven by Ian McKellen's performance over the last 2 decades and even with Michael Fassbender from those younger X-Men films from the last decade but I will be interested in either choice. If it is the case that he becomes the known adversary of Xavier then there is one other casting rumour that could portray the Mutant villain and that is the other rumoured frontrunner and that is with Oscar nominated actor Wagner Moura, and I think that he could do a really great and intimidating villain, especially portraying one of the best in recent memory, so either choice could work. There is one more rumoured casting for this project and it will be on one of the actual heroes of the team and with a popular female member of the team and the choice for this could be an interesting one as its reported that Civil War and Alien Romulus Star Cailee Spaeny is in talks to be a front runner for the mutant of Rogue, which I think could be an interesting approach to it all and she has proven herself in being a decent performer across a few titles so I will not say no on the choice of that. Now there is other ones I have seen floating about for the likes of the characters of Cyclops, Beast and Emma Frost, but the structure of how accurate or if there is specific names tied to those roles is unclear but I am sure we will see if they are also discussed during next weeks Comic Con Panel, but I am interested to see their approach of the starting team for that new film and if any news comes about it then I will let you know in a later episode. 

Moving from Marvel to DC news, this first one will be very brief and is an update to the last story from last week, but after initially being reported last week, it has now been made official that Scream 7 and YouTuber Jimmy Tatro will be portraying and voicing Gorilla Grodd for the DCU and I am intruiged to see his approach that he will take with the character from the Jimmy Olsen series he will debut in and likely cross paths in the future with the Flash, but I guess we will see down the line, but I like the approach of more unknown names getting some chance with these roles so I guess we will see what will come of this performance in due time.

but speaking of returning cast, we have an update of another hero that will be making their debut into the DCU real soon and it is one that we have seen not too long ago, but looks like they will also be one of those that was salvaged from the previous attempt of this cinematic universe of heroes as it was announced this week that Xolo Mariduena will be coming back as his take on the hero of Blue Beetle and will be making their DCU debut in next years Man of Tomorrow. Now I am glad that he's getting a 2nd chance cause I honestly felt bad that he was unveiled in a film that was honestly decent and his take on the hero was pretty good (and a case not to listen to the vile choice words made by the team of Nerdrotic that bordered on Racist) and was just a shame it released and underperformed from the announcement the DC universe was being rebooted but I appreciate he is one of the few that was saved (I think there is a few more still to be brought back over with one up in the air is Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn) and given the sense of focus with the villain being Brainiac, I am sure they will be a helpful ally for the Man of Steel but I am sure we will see how they will be handled with the rest of the other heroes and characters appearing in this follow up, but I am sure we can see down the line by the films release next summer.

On the last of the Superhero news for this week is one that will be some excitement but also a bit of a caveat for one of the most anticipated follow ups as earlier this week we got the first official screen test look at the upcoming sequel to the Batman with Battinson and it all looks really cool and it seems unclear if the likes of the suit is a new upgrade from the first film (that has been reported around from some of the display museums of these films). Now all is this is well in good but there is one catch to all of this and that is the case that it has unfortunately been announced that this film has once again been delayed, but only by an extra 4 months and will now be dropping into cinemas from the 18th of February 2028, from the initial 3rd delay of October 2nd 2027. Now while it is annoying of it being delayed again, I personally can accept it in the form of being a patient man and can trust the approach of Reeves with the project as keep in mind there is a few reasons for this delay of this title, with it first being from the Writers strikes that happened 3 years ago when he was penning it following the first films release, then was also making the Penguin series that bridged the 2 films together, he went through some personal family or health issues that he does not need to go deep into and then the case of filming the project, post production and being a producer on some other projects like the upcoming Caped Crusader and Clayface projects so I can see by that and then the case of Pattinson is also busy with him on press currently for the Odyssey, off to the film festivals for Primetime and then back on the Press for Dune later this year and then who knows what else they are filming into the new year but I am sure they will find the time and focus overall for the full filming of this. Again as I said I have trust in Matt Reeves in making another proper solid character driven narrative following the original and Planet of the Apes films he wrote and directed so I will be fine with this slight 4 month delay, but I am sure we will get some updates and looks at all the cast in action soon enough as they head deeper into production for its release now hopefully in early 2028.

Moving over now to release date focus that connects to Bats and this first one is with a surprise announcement of coming out and it was one I didn't expect it at all but something spooky and on a monster scale will be on the way back for another array of misadventures as it was announced that we are getting a 5th Hotel Transylvania film with the film entitled 'The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania' set for release on October 8th 2027. It is an interesting concept that I was not expecting another film entry given there is another project in this series coming out with the Motel Transylvania series coming out next year, but this could be what that series may have been tuned into but it could still be both for next year and they tie into one another. The other big question that many people have with this announcement will be if the original cast will all be back as in the 4th film with Transformania, Adam Sandler and Kevin James didn't come back for this film with Sandler being replaced by a YouTuber that does great voice impressions and honestly didn't do a bad job but I am sure we will see if its the same cast as the last film or if they will be all back from the 3rd movie but I guess we will see what come of this title before its release in October next year.

Keeping it in the horrors for the release date announcement, we have gotten an update and official first look at the return to a long running horror franchise but going all the way back to where it all began, as earlier this week alongside the first brief teaser of the series, we got the official release date of the Friday the 13th prequel series with Crystal lake now set for release from the 15th of October. Now this will mainly follow the mother of Jason with Pamela who is played by Linda Cardellini and will also serve as an origin to the killer of the summer camp. To be fair it has been a while since this character has been present in any form of media so the approach of a prequel in the series after multiple films and other media will be an interesting one to observe of how it will all come about and lead into the original film itself but I am sure it will be interesting to see what comes about it by its release in October but I will give it a watch with interest.

The last in release date focus is with the case of heading back over to one of the big cities in the states and check in with a well known, rundown but familiar place to get a drink as another round is being served up as it was announced that the 18th season of the popular series of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia has gotten an official release date with it set to start airing from the 17th of August. It seems that even after being ongoing for well over 20 years now that their is still some appeal to come from this show and I am sure there will be more misadventures and concepts being brought together in mind, with one seeming to take a jab about the AI takeover of Jobs, going off of the response to the poster of people thinking it was done with AI but it was confirmed to be made by an artist and designed and modelled to look like AI slop and I can appreciate the jab and joke at it. I am interested to see what will come from the title in due time so I guess we will see what will come of it from its release from next month.

On to casting for this week, we are heading over to the realm of the supernatural for another story and in this will also be a bit of a prequel tale cause we have some confirmation of the casting of the main duo for an upcoming project based on a long running popular horror series based on true events whos choices and methods could be all a ruse as it was unveiled that Amanda Fix (Something Very Bad is going to happen) and Garrett Wareing (The Long Walk) has been cast as the Young Ed and Lorraine Warren in the upcoming Conjuring Prequel of First Communion. It is still a strange thing that they are really trying to push the focus of this franchise is focusing on many of their well known cases and I do wonder what they will be covering and what ever the first case was for them cause I know this will be in the focus era where they were accused constantly of being con artists where it became more of the possible real but skeptical approach but I can see they look close to the original castings of the film series so I am sure we will see what will come of this project by its release next September but I am sure we will get more of an idea of the project and other stuff down the line as the project enters development.

The last of the casting stories in focus for this week is with a focus to a video game adaption (w are covering all the factors in this case) and it seems we will be taking a trip to a series that will branch the concept of open world narrative and antagonists with massive egos as we have the first casting addition of this adaption as it was announced that Steve Buschemi will be joining the FX series of Far Cry. Now usually with the games this series is based on, every location and story often has a big focal antagonist from Vaas in 3, Pagan Min in 4, Joseph Seed in 5 and Antón Castillo in 6 but we know that they have confirmed that none of the games narratives are being adapted and will be its own distinct anthology series and I wonder if Buschemi will be a season antagonist or an ally but I am sure we will get an idea on it in due time and if we get more new cast for the series and who everyone is playing I will let you know in a later episode.

There is one last Casting bit of news for this week is one that has already been established but in this case it will be a change that is unexpected and one that I find as being a little disappointing as we have a bit of an update to the upcoming video game adaption of the God of War series as on Friday it was announced that Kratos himself of Ryan Hurst was seriously injured on the set of the series and will likely have to be recast for the series. Now the injury he suffered was that he tore his bicep from what I guess was a bad on set injury and in the case of that will see a few weeks of healing and then will need another few weeks to train it back to the size and level that he had it for the series. Now it seems their approach would be to recast to avoid having to wait for the recovery time but the main issue is that they had already recorded four of the episodes of the first season already and I feel they are better off just delaying production or film what they can without the main lead and then film the rest of the series when he back in shape. This is not the first time a series from Amazon that is based on a game had some delay in production as the upcoming Tomb Raider series also faced a delay in filming as Sophie Turner also suffered a bad back injury on set and they had to pause production back in late March and it seems they gave time for her to recover so I feel it is best to do it for this as well, especially with the season already filming half of the episodes of the season. Now likely case we will see what will come of this project and if they will hold off on casting or who they will get as Kratos now and start again on the production but if there is any other change I will let you know down the line.

Moving from casting to project announcements, this first one I had to know who decided this approach of bringing this series back in some form and the outcome on how it is being made is currently unclear but it looks like a group of musical animals are making a return to the spotlight in some form as it was announced this week that we are getting an all new reboot film based on Alvin and the Chipmunks with it aiming for a release in about 2 years time. Now this was also unveiled with a first look image at the main chipmunk and while it looks close to the design of the films from a decade ago, something about them with a questionable expression and a more fuzzier hoodie is a bit of a weird one. Now they have also emphasized that they will implement them in a lot of short form based content across social media and YouTube and I wonder will they have much of an appeal or interest in all of this, however the real big issue I have with this project is in the case that their is a possibility that this project may also be heavily created with AI and that brings a bit of a concern with it all as well that it will look really off putting and could've easily been given jobs for many artists instead of the usual slop that we get all the time but I guess it will have to be seen if that report is accurate or not. Now I am not sure how much of a relevance this series will have or even if the case that this will be connected to the previous series of films but I guess we will find out by the release of the reboot and if there is anymore news about that I will let you know in a later episode.

The 2nd project announcement for this week will be taking us over to a place that seems to be uncertain of if they are continuing with this approach or if it seems like a slim lost cause with a few of them but we are talking once again about The live action Disney Remakes as while we see the likes of the Polynesian Princess and the Rock not having the best of box office hauls and the future seems uncertain, it does look like another project may be coming along and that some will still be getting made as it was announced that a live action remake on the 2009 Disney film of Princess and the Frog is in the works and the big name attached to this right now is actor and playwright Colman Domingo penning the script for this project. Now in this case the approach of this does not sound too bad and most projects I have seen Domingo be involved with are pretty solid, though I feel in all sense I am not sure if him doing a Live Action film based on the princess Tiana would make the most sense. I think if I were given the approach to this, instead of the Live action remake approach, I would be more in going with reviving that initially planned sequel animated series for Tiana instead and give his clear writing talents with that and even the approach of rework that into a film or follow up project and revive the 2D animated concept they alluded to going back to for future projects, but in this case I will let him give his writing approach to all of this and see what may come of this title. Now as things stand and similar to other Live action remake, there is no indication of when we will expect this project, but if I hear anything about this then I will let you know in a later episode.

The last of the project announcements and stories of the week is with the focus to a return of another popular horror icon that has been around the movie and media scene for nearly 50 years as well and it seems that our dreams are about to become haunted once more as it was announced on Monday of this week that an all new remake of Nightmare on Elm Street is in the works over at Paramount and will likely see the return of the dreamwalker himself of Freddy Kruger. Now the character has had a bit of a journey in film over the years with around 9 total project since their inception in 1984 that spawned 5 sequels, Wes Cravens New Nightmares, the spin off against Jason and the first of the remakes from 2010 so it looks like he's getting another reboot treatment. Now it will be worth seeing in the case if there will be an appeal or interest to the saga of this series as we have had a lot of attempts with legacy horror icons coming back and the outcome for a few ranged from decent to solid (Halloween 2018) to an absolute mess (Texas Chainsaw) so it will have to be seen where it will fall amongst this. I think the best approach for this will be to get someone that can give new life to this nightmare killer and get a fresh face that know and makes compelling Horror so I am sure we will see what will come of this in due time and if we hear of any new updates on this I will let you know in a later episode.

But what do you make of these stories, will you check out this Nova film and who do you see portray the character, what are your thoughts on the rumoured casting of the mutants, do you Tatro will do well as the sentient Gorilla, are you happy for Blue Beetle's return to the DCU, do you think this is the last of the delays for the Batman, will you be checking out the 5th Hotel Transylvania, will this new Friday the 13th series will be a success or a mess, are you excited for another Always Sunny season, what are your opinions of the casting for the Conjuring Prequel, do you see Buschemi playing a big villain in one of the seasons or as an ally, do you think they should wait for Hurst to recover or recast the God of War, is there any point of another Alvin and the Chipmunks project, will you be watching the Live action Princess and the Frog and do you think a Nightmare on Elm Street remake will work out or be a mess, let me know what you think of them all down below.

Special segment: support this creator and a special message

So it has been a little bit of time but in this case I have 2 people I want to give a bit of a special segment shout out too, one being personal and one to help a fellow creator and I will start with the creator one first as there is some one I want to shout out to and get some more viewers and followers to as they spent a lot of time and effort and I want them to have a successful start but there is a creator I have followed for a while known as Abrosiiate who initially followed from a friend of mine during the pandemic era and then up to now where they initially were a cosplay creator but late last year decided to retire from the community and from that decision has morphed into becoming a streamer and this was where last week they began their streaming V-Tuber debut as the phantom thief where they have been streaming on a few days on YouTube with the first week debut of one a day and a few this week and have been evolving their content from a variety of media from cosy titles, co-op games, anime based titles like Persona and Genshin and even a few spooky games (as long as you promise to hold their hand) and they have been an entertaining creator to watch and I just wanted to give them a shout out and for you to go and give them a follow on their YouTube and go support them and tell them that Sam sent ya in that regards and lets help some fellow small creator grow in the process.

And for the 2nd of the special segment shout outs is one that I want to personally give a shout out too and that is to wish someone very important me a very happy Birthday. I know it has been a while since we last spoke and since then it has been a tough journey and I shall not lie I do miss you a lot and our daily conversations as you really helped me and pulled me out of a dark place that I have fallen back into and while I have no idea on what you are doing I just want you to know that I will always be proud of you, I am proud of your progress in the Gym getting the Beeg Mooscles, your dedication to your 3d model designs, your interests and conversations that I would be interested in listening to for hours on end and all of the other things I loved about you and I hope that one day we can experience all of that again in the near future to be like it once was, but to know that no matter the distance or what you may pursue that I will always be your number 1 fan and will root for your success and achievements and hope to be for now until the sun burns out or I take my last breath on this planet where you will always have a special place in my heart, mind and soul and always will and that I will still always Love you to this day and I want to wish you a happy birthday and for all to go and check out their wonderful 3D Models and to support them and purchase one from them cause they deserve the success and I hope you have a wonderful day and hopefully someday again to be close once more even in a sense of a close friendship cause I would really like that again.
