The look of pure, unbridled, child-like joy on Jay’s face the whole time he was watching the Wicked trailer 🥰

Meanwhile Adam is like every normie friend we have that we try to take to a show who just infuriatingly goes, “meh”. Lol

[@jackbeaumont6730]

I’m sorry… but the pure ecstasy of Jay VS the complete and utter apathy of Adam (Wicked Trailer) has been the highlight of my year.

[@jeffreydegraw4070]

I loved it so much!

Wow...the juxtaposition of Jay vs Adam during that Wicked reaction. 😂😂😂 I love it.

[@Persephone_Personified]

Jay’s wicked trailer reaction was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while. Happy Monday y’all

I've been waiting for Jay's Wicked review since it dropped!! He didn't disappoint!

[@lindsaygrace27]

Can we get a Wicked movie review after it comes out, with Jay sharing his pure joy and Adam with that same blank stare the whole time? 😂

[@nikkiwood2523]

Jay, do not let Adam dull your shine about that Wicked trailer!!!!! I am sooooo hyped!

[@DerakosZrux]

I LOVE JAY SO MUCH! His reaction to the Wicked trailer was 100% in line with mine including the tears at the end!

[@DCComicsGamer]

Jay vs Adam on the Wicked trailer is the stuff that memes are made of

[@Dominus62680]

It was Gandalf in Rings of Power! He said the line, "when in doubt, always follow your nose." That's what he says thousands of years later to Frodo in the mines of Moria! It's Gandalf.

[@jasonhoagland8444]

Megalopolis is an original idea from Francis Ford Coppola he's been working on since the 80s. It took him 40 years to finally get it made but I'm soon excited to see it.

[@agentsculder2451]

It's based on a book. It's been his dream project since he read it.

[@sherrybennett251]

Adam I don't know how you kept a straight face through Jay's freak out for wicked, I was killing myself 😂😂

[@KevThrawn85]

You know what I could tell about the Wicked movie? That it was actually gonna be a MUSICAL. Looking at you, Mean Girls trailer!!! Take notes! Also Adam, way to "Yes, eh" that first trailer. LOL

[@LotkaVolterra]

My mind is absolutely blown that Francis Ford Coppola is still alive. That whole trailer, I was thinking, "Oh so his estate finally found someone to direct this movie." He was always a historical figure to me like Orson Welles or Henry Ford.

[@ryangarner7721]

Megalopolis just premiered at Cannes, and Jay is absolutely right with the divisiveness

[@norasmith2474]

The Wicked reaction is exactly the one my Broadway loving friend and I had when we watched it. I was like "As long as you're happy buddy!"

[@AJMartorano]

Jay: That trailer was SOOO GOOOD Adam: 😐

[@johnnyblue07]

Good LAWD the end of that Wicked reaction is primetime meme-worthy moment. Adam's deadpan, apathetic look and Jay's teary, unbridled joy is👌.

[@interstellargreenbean]

I wasn't feeling Wicked after the teaser, but boy oh boy did they win me over with this! I was in tears right there with you, Jay.

[@ChristianJull]

Small kittens being loved and cuddled by small children. Jay: 😍🤩😍🤩. Adam: 😑😶

[@SS-rk2me]

Jay's Wicked reaction is EVERYTHING I knew it would be and a redemption after the dumpster fire of a Mean Girls trailer!

[@Animalfriend777]

The wicked trailer I really liked. I think it was as long as it was to assuage all the theater/play people that “yes we put all the effort into this”

[@jherminia2737]

I love when Adam does “Gaming the System--Babae!

[@whoissabal]

absolutely love Jay’s reaction to the Wicked trailer

[@aidanhealey6640]

Megalopolis seems like it will either be magnificent or a train wreck. Either way I’ll be seated.

[@system0fadowner251]

Or both depending on how it effects each person individually. Im always more intrigued when a film from a visionary director is divisive since it means hes taking BIG swings

[@tomjordan1170]

You guys always tell us not to skip, but eventually you'll realise that we're not watching for the trailers, we're watching for our two favourite dudes, and we want to watch the whole thing.

[@srwoodie]

Megalopolis will be a sci fi epic...... decades in the making..

[@srwoodie]

Also watch the Adam Driver teaser trailer.......

[@mslaurondo]

Here’s an orphan black fan that’s really looking forward to the spin off! 😂

[@mattnewmark7607]

Not only shouldn't you skip, you should rewatch! Start at 06:40 and listen to Jay whilst watching Adam for a minute or two... Time WELL spent!

[@larryltsai1]

Sorry Adam, I know you didn't want people to skip, but after that lack of response to the Wicked trailer, I couldn't bear myself to continue. Still love watching you both though!

[@IceMetalPunk]

I would *love* to see you guys react to the original Orphan Black. With Adam having seen it, and Jay fresh, it would be so fun! Such a good series! I'm not sure how I feel about the trailer for the sequel, but I'll definitely be giving it a shot.

[@micahhill7503]

Adam also just an FYI. Not to roast you but there's over 20 Dune books.

[@pReviewd]

Wha……..damn. Well the video I saw spoke about 6 books. 🤷🏻‍♂️ and that was about as much of the story as I could handle 😬

[@adrianflipflop9054]

​@@pReviewdI think that video was only counting Frank Herbert's books, not his sons books and the others

[@EEmB]

I would just like to add, that I love that Adam's t-shirt is full of cat glitter!

[@andrewichigo]

From what I understand Megalopolis is basically the American take on the German movie Metropolis. I'm understanding that it's meant to be a deconstruction and analysis of an alternate history US city that presents itself as a utopia which loops back around to being a dystopia. The original Metropolis was impressionistic, grand and almost mythical in its imagery and presentation, but this ones seems to be more oppressive, capitalist and modern overall

[@allisongarcia3538]

I’ve been WAITING for Jay to watch the wicked trailer!

[@starhawk63]

LOL "Adam🎵 did🎶 some🎵 reeesearch"

[@LovedByYou]

Adam not spoiling Jays unabashed excitement for wicked, was so adorably sweet. He couldn’t care less but did t want to damper the mood lol

[@jherminia2737]

For the power of the rings trailer. The character who most believe is Gandalf says one of Gandalf’s infamous lines, “just follow your nose” in the last episode. No one else says that but him. Adam, does that count? Why not if no?

[@arthurclifford8290]

In addition tot he 6 Dune books Frank Herbert's son (who helped with a couple of the original 6 I think) has written prequel books.

[@alexkramerblogs]

I don't think Brian touched any of the original 6, but he did start the Preludes to Dune series in the 90s with Kevin J Anderson

[@alexkramerblogs]

Brian did however eventually finish books after Frank's original 6 that seemingly finishes the saga that had been planned, but I feel like there's a bit of handwaviness about how much of that arc was Frank, and how much was moreso Brian/Kevin

[@qm7497]

The Orphan Black Echos trailer has us witnessing Jay go through all of the emotions. All of them. He used all of the emotions up on that one.

[@monikahanus9183]

Jay made a good point about the Twisters movie. I watch a lot of storm chasers and it's been a bad year for that. They are busy and there are so many towns that have been destroyed this year. We never truly know all the towns/cities that are affected because they aren't on the news. And the one scene w/ the falling water tower, not sure if it's from El Reno or not, but in 2013 that was the worst tornado. Destroyed El Reno and three professional storm chasers were killed during that tornado plus an amateur storm chaser. Maybe it's an homage but for some, the movie might be traumatic.

[@AnnMegFair]

Adam: 'thanks for sticking around for this one' Me: 'Sir I am literally primarily here today BECAUSE of Wicked.'

[@bobcatdriver6930]

hyped for your upcoming reactions ! thank you for going through these paloozas for us, lol.

[@tomfehr]

it's gandalf. that's why they put in the "Follow your nose" line, to make sure we knew it was Gandalf without saying it

[@Grandtheatrix]

Calling my shot now: It's Saruman. Saruman was the first of the Wizards to arrive, and was a legendary hero throughout all of this age. All other Wizards, including Gandalf, the last to arrive, would have learned everything they knew from him. That is why his betrayal during The Lord Of The Rings is such a horrifying surprise. He has been their mentor and ally for Millennia. I think them using such clear Gandalf imagery as such a deliberate signal WITHOUT them giving us any of his names means it has to be a misdirect. Also, the first line of the show is "Nothing is evil in the beginning". It fits the central theme. And the Strangers musical theme has a subtle current of hammers striking metal running through it. If I was a brilliant composer like Bear McCreary that's the kind of auditory clue I'd bury within my music for people to find later.

[@tomfehr]

@@Grandtheatrix maybe, but I feel like that would be a pretty substantial/weird misdirect to imply he’s Gandalf in a season finale only to have it be Saruman revealed later

[@markwood6056]

@@Grandtheatrix People take a lot of what is written in Tolkien's world as factual to its universe. And a lot of it isn't. The Silmarillion is a mythology and thus everything in it is suspect. Any thing referenced in song or prose, is passed down stories, meaning they are all suspect. The timeline presented in Lord of the Rings is not factual. Thus it can't be a God's eye telling of events. And since the timeline tells of events that none of the principles witnessed, and with events long after they had left middle Earth, shows that the time line is just that a historical record, and historical records aren't factual. They have bias based on whom ever is the one telling or recording the story. Tolkien even had a comment about Gandalf (I can't remember the exact words), but it's stated similar to the tales of his first arrival have yet to be told. Just like the proto Hobbits aren't mention in any of tests. But Tolkien's note indicate that they did exist as wondering nomads. Now of course thats all if you are trying to tell a strict adaption. This isn't a strict adaption. So technically it can be anything they wish. But for myself, I really dislike (but completely understand) the producers needing to compress events that take an eon to occur to happen in what is likely going to be 50 years or less. Dislike it but there isn't a reasonable way to show growth of various scocieties and cultures, and their decline that does occur (and I do find very fascinating) , but I also understand as a product that is made for the masses you can't expect people to have to (outside of the elves) get to know completely different generations of people each season. Especially in seasons that are likely only going to be 8 episodes long. Thats a far large hill to expect people who aren't well versed in the material to latch on to. I also find it so surprising for anyone to complain about an adaption of Tolkien's work and describing it has slow, or a slog (pacing wise). Tolkien's material isn't fast paced and he isn't focused on the depiction of action. Action occurs but it's rarely the meat and potatoes of the his story telling. Now I know for a lot of people (even as well read as Lord of the Rings is over the decades) thank Lord of the Rings and think Peter Jacksons adaption, but Peter kept some of the message, character beats, and at least showed depictions of a quest, but a lot of it is wrapped into a action trilogy. And it worked, but it's absolutely not true to how Tolkien would create a story. Now because season one is basically just getting the plot starting, I do expect the producers to as the series progress ramp up the action. But I actually thought the pacing of season was far, far closer to Tolkien's pacing than anything done in Jackson's version.

[@geneticjen9312]

They did answer that it's Gandalf by having him say "if in doubt X, always follow your nose". That was the reveal

[@SupernovaOrange]

Plus the witches said “he is the Istar” and he tells them “I’m good”

[@foulrot]

​@@SupernovaOrangeThat just means they are a wizard, it could be Gandalf, it could also be Saruman, Radagast, or even one of the Blue wizards.

[@RaphGirl]

From my understanding Megalopolis is a futuristic Roman empire, there's some apocalyptic stuff and Adam Driver is some dude named Caesar who has time travel powers. 🤷

[@rantalmore]

That wicked trailer felt like it literally showed the whole movie lol

[@erenhypen4718]

not really

[@ImekaSF]

I’ve been so excited to see Jay’s reaction to the Wicked trailer and was not disappointed! I am SO excited for this movie!

[@theunderworldstudios5341]

Have you guys heard of Dead Boy Detectives? Its the spin-off of The Sandman and it dropped a few weeks ago

[@DavidMachiavello]

Rings of Power suffered last time being released at the same time as House of the Dragon, it's a totally different kind of fantasy show. This time around, they're releasing it after HotD.

[@barbarjinx3802]

I came here specifically for Megalopolis. My most anticipated trainwreck this year.

[@KimmelHill]

in the Orphan Black trailer I saw a framed photo of Tatiana on a table, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she still makes an appearance.

[@G8torLady]

Your reactions seem pretty darn real to me. Love your reactions, gentlemen ❤

[@thatkid385]

Adam doesn't give two Wickeds about Wicked lol

[@Tensen01]

Kinda there too. I do not understand the appeal. And I'm honestly kind of tired with all these properties that humanize the villains and are all "See, it's really the good guys who are bad!" Like can't we just let villains be villains? They all gotta be misunderstood innocents forced to become "evil"? I genuinely think things like wicked are a detriment to good storytelling.

[@erenhypen4718]

​@@Tensen01you're tired about it? well wicked is literally the one that popularized that trend. you're literally seeing where it was all inspired by. maleficent is literally inspired by wicked. even frozen is a copy of wicked. put some respect to it.

[@erenhypen4718]

Hooray! The boys on a Monday! 🎉🎉

[@Jacana2k6]

For the Rings of Power, Amazon didn't get the rights to use Gandalf's name or any of the other wizards names as well. Honestly they got a bad deal deal with Tolkien folks - for the money, what they could and could not use. i consider the Amazon series like a "What if . ." version of the Middle Earth stories. Just wish they would let someone do a series based on the years of the trees and First Age. That would be epic!

[@FanBoyBooks]

Is Adam thinking of the 1927 film, Metropolis? My head went to that film first when I heard of Megalopolis.

[@pReviewd]

You know what, I think I was.

[@TheRRP88]

Watching Adam’s reaction to Wicked trailer being the complete opposite of Jay’s just brings to a full circle when they had the exact opposite reaction when the Masters of The Universe Revelations trailer came out! Adam cried then and Jay cried now!! Love it!

[@MuppetAdventure]

Thank god one of y’all is a theater person, I need someone to cry with over the Wicked trailer. 😂

[@The2ndQuest]

Megalopolis is inspired by the B&W German film Metropolis, as well as Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. But it is not based on, or a remake of, that film/book. Metropolis has some pretty astounding FX work for a film made in 1927, btw. Thematically, the 1998 movie Dark City is the film's inverse in many ways.

[@LeahB31]

I was thoroughly entertained by Adam's face after the Wicked trailer. Jay's reaction was awesome. I've cried about 95% of the time when Elphaba puts on the hat and we started to hear the first lines to Defying Gravity.

[@AnythingGeeky]

And this wicked trailer is why I am a certified slop goblin. Never miss a moment like this 😂🧙 and hi, I'm in the empty room 🙋‍♀️

[@mjdaniel8710]

Dune Prophecy is basically Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson , looks pretty good

[@thebeaverqueen2096]

I am so hyped by Jay’s reaction to Wicked. As someone who saw the musical on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre I am hyped.

[@brettsky98]

The last 25 seconds of the Wicked trailer had Jay in his feels!

[@ChaosInFlux]

Francis Dord Coppola originally came up with the idea in 1977. It is his passion project. People will love it, or hate it. But people will watch it, and debate why they feel/think the way they do about it. Thaymt is a huge part of the project that makes it a complete work of art.

[@filmnarc7646]

I like Rings of Power S1 quite a bit. It was refreshing getting lighter fantasy again and I’m exited to get more. It did get slow here and there but I preferred that to constant dark fantasy political stuff that seemed to hover over the genre for years.

[@troublewithweebles]

The Megalopolis might be a meditation on social media/vr escapes into alternate realities to find Utopia. Make your own heaven, while separating ourselves from community - this is how a city falls.

[@Arcannabis]

I wept when I watched the wicked trailer. I got the feels, the lump in my throat, the emotions. I don’t know why but there’s something about the part where they duet defying gravity… this movie is going to be amazing. I want to know what villain origin story caused Adam to HATE everything that is good and magical? 😂😊❤

[@jurney3478]

Youre not gonna gaslight me into thinking GOT season 6 was bad. It was amazing!

[@aikozutigana8465]

Jay's reaction to Wicked is why I love this channel. I felt kinda like Adam about Wicked, but not to the same degree. I loved The Wizard of Oz but I felt it was all I needed. Watching the joy bloom on Jay's face as the trailer progressed now has me excited to watch Wicked in November, and I didn't see that coming. So, thank you Jay

[@heltaku9397]

Man I sure hope they work out those Act 2 issues with Wicked because that Part 1 trailer looks awesome.

[@MykalNines]

THE MUSK MUST FLOW!

[@jamesfoster9613]

Dune Prophecy is loosely based on Sisterhood of Dune, which is a prequel written by Herbert's son. I'm excited for more Dune!

[@UrsulaRulez]

JAY’S REACTION TO “WICKED” IS SO DAMN PURE!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚

[@drudle]

THANK YOU for talking about the second part of Wicked so bluntly. I have no idea how it'll be it's own movie. I can only imagine they're going to have to lean heavy and expand on some of the aspects of hunting for Elphaba and what not. But maaan, this trailer was great.

[@Hystericalee]

Thank you so much for this. It was so hard avoiding the Wicked trailer but watching Jay’s face knowing I probably looked the same way was worth it.

[@ll7868]

I just binged on an 8 episode series from South Korea called The 8 Show, this shit is twisted, it's like Squid Games but in this game there are no rules, the 8 contestants make them up as they figure out how the prize money works leading to physical and psychological torture. This show needs some reactions, it's freakin' good.

[@hoss4774]

I love when y'all do trailers for musicals. Adam sits there stone-faced while Jay is freaking tf out!
