Alex AzorGUEST
But Spider-Man, you know, he's got, you know, a King Pin, and, and, and-
Frankey SmithHOST
Electro, Scorpion.
Frankey SmithHOST
Yeah
Alex AzorGUEST
...
Beau MaddoxHOST
He was very well cast and he he he really nailed it.
Ashley ChancellorHOST
And Michael Mando! We finally get some kind of follow-up to that little, either it was the post-credits scene or it was the end scene of Homecoming where he's introduced as Matt Gargan, but he's not the Scorpion yet.
Ashley ChancellorHOST
We get to see him as the Scorpion in this movie.
Ashley ChancellorHOST
He's part of a montage of villains and he has a little bit of a supporting role.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
Like, my mom doesn't know him.
Paul MontgomeryPANELIST
Well, Michael Mando is, you know, S- uh, Scorpion-
Conor KilpatrickHOST
A little bit.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
Oh
JohnHOST
Needless to say, this will not be the last time we discuss him on this podcast.
JohnHOST
The Count's mute hulking manservant Gargan is also played by another Universal icon, Lon Chaney Jr., in his final appearance in a film for that venerated studio.
JohnHOST
Sadly, I suspect his character was mute because even at this stage, his struggles with alcoholism were affecting his career, and it was becoming difficult for him to remember dialogue.
JohnHOST
The deck was stacked against Creighton Chaney, his given name, from a pretty young age.
7 MINS LATER
JohnHOST
And the film begins after the '50s Universal logo I remember from so many science fiction films, with a shot of the titular Black Castle in the middle of a thunderstorm behind a series of extended credits.
JohnHOST
It's an obvious matte painting, but a detailed and convincing one, and the way the lightning flashes across the scene gives it a lot of charm and atmosphere.
JohnHOST
Once the credits are over, we enter a graveyard near said castle, where wolves howl into the storm and manservant Fender chases them off with a thrown rock before assisting a man named Kopitch, played by an uncredited Bernard Soles, with the gruesome business of nailing the late Sir Ronald Burton and Countess Elga von Bruno into their coffins.
JohnHOST
Both men comment on how life-like the bodies look in repose, leading to a tinny voiceover where Sir Ronald tries to summon up the energy to tell Fender that he's not dead at all, and he's about to be buried alive.
Brian PettisHOST
Spider-Man Homecoming.
Brian PettisHOST
We get the scene in prison with Mac Gargan talking about with Tombs about being in prison.
Brian PettisHOST
Remember, he is a scorpion who ended up eventually being scorpion in the last Spider-Man movie.
Brian PettisHOST
So we were wondering if we were ever going to see Scorpion.
Ashley CoffinHOST
There's not too many fights, you know? Am I just cr- you know? It's not as-
Matthew CarrollHOST
Well, I mean, it has the Scorpion fight.
Matthew CarrollHOST
It has a lot of, like, action sequences-
Ashley CoffinHOST
Yeah
Hector MirayHOST
Because it was cheaper to buy it than rent it in some aspects.
Hector MirayHOST
But the guy, Michael Manolo, I believe, who played Scorpion in the Spider-Man franchise, who was just in the last one, he's paying.
Hector MirayHOST
Okay.
Hector MirayHOST
Okay.
Ronan JamesHOST
He's still like stalking them on social media and watching their Facebook or Instagram posts and all that kind of stuff.
Ronan JamesHOST
uh we have a tank rampaging through the city driver has been telepathically possessed and hops from person to person uh to help oh yeah so yeah uh mac gargan an enhanced criminal parker previously captured to escape so yes gargan is being transported i also had this question about and i I like the Scorpion's design overall, but where's his helmet? Why is he not wearing a helmet? I mean, he's got his whole stuff on.
Ronan JamesHOST
He should have his helmet too, right? I don't understand why they never give these guys the helmets in some of these movies.
Ronan JamesHOST
They always want to show the actors' faces.
19 MINS LATER
Ronan JamesHOST
There was even some acrobatic stuff.
Ronan JamesHOST
I remember them doing some really cool wire work.
Ronan JamesHOST
with, uh, Scorpion and, uh, you know, the, the stunt team, from what I understand was brought in, they were told, you know, we want to incorporate this stuff
speaker_1UNKNOWN
and they went to work.
TylerHOST
any kind because you know there is no continuity anymore this is our first real film post when they did the crisis sorry I don't Aztec Batman but you just kind of got forgotten but I really think this is a Bane that we deserve and we have Michael how do you say his name Solomon you know because you because you're the spider-man guy Michael Mando as Bane, who played Scorpion in the Tom Holland Spider-Man films.
SolomonGUEST
Actually, yeah.
JamesHOST
Yeah, he's Matt Gargan in Homecoming and Scorpion in Brand New Day.
TylerHOST
We have a great voice cast.
TylerHOST
I mean, Anson Mount is back as Batman.
J.B.HOST
Yeah.
J.B.HOST
So yeah, he defeats criminals like, uh, Matt Gargan and the Hand Ninjas, uh, earning the trust of, uh, the police te- te- to, um, Team Dewolff.
J.B.HOST
He regularly visits his Aunt May's grave, and I'm like, yeah, that, that fucking sucks, but hey, you know what? I'm gonna say this right now, I kinda like how, in a way, she was still involved in this movie even though she's already canonically gone.
J.B.HOST
Like, and we're gonna talk about that a little bit more when we get to the near end.
