So tell us about it.

So the Northeast Corridor Cup began as a joke, as many things in my life do.

It was, I believe I have the game pulled up here.

It was June of last year.

It was game three of a series in the middle of the season between the Mets and the Phillies, and I was hanging out with my friends on Discord, some of who were Phillies fans, because I went to college in Pennsylvania, and so I know truly a criminal number of Phillies fans, and I disavow all of them right here on the show.

Um...

And I was talking about how because this was the rubber game of the series, that this would be the game that determines which of them brings home the coveted Northeast Quarter Cup, the most prestigious baseball prize that I just made up.

How are you dealing with this horrible season for the Mets?

And I really recommend Act 1 from Baghdad.

But while I haven't seen Life from Bad Dead, I will say that, like, I guess this is kind of a cheap or easy one to talk about, but I did think a little bit about Alex Garland's Civil War when I was thinking about the tone of this movie.

That's, you know, set from, it is a story about, you know, on the ground about war reporters and the war that they're reporting about happens to be set in, you know, the continental United States along the eastern seaboard.

So it is, yeah, I think there'd be some common DNA there.

I didn't want this movie to be so bleak as to suggest Alex Garland as a director.

but as if there was a as if there would be an even 1% chance that he'd do it like I know he's doing Elden Ring but this is the Sony Pictures universe of Marvel movies okay this is the entity that got this is what got Dakota Johnson's agent fired so I don't think we're getting Alex Garland.

So I want to go in here to act one because I think that I'm gratified that this is... that you've projected forward a little bit of this.

can you talk a bit about the pod universe
