Raymond Weil is an Enthusiast Watch Company (397)

Published on Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:10:05 -0700

Synopsis

In this episode of the 40 and 20 podcast, hosts Andrew and Everett discuss recent watch releases and personal updates. Everett shares his frustrating experience making two trips to Lowe's for a broken toilet seat, while Andrew deals with a lice outbreak at his children's school that has affected his entire family, leading to extensive laundry duties and treatment.

The watch discussion covers several notable releases, including Kwame Tokyo's new Kubo collection in 37mm with lacquered dials, Angelus's limited edition chronograph telemeter combining multiple instrument functions, Yema's Grand Vell Renaissance with upgraded micro-rotor movement, and Raymond Weil's new Art collection that draws comparisons to the IWC Ingenieur. They also discuss releases from Autodromo (Group C Turbo Sport), Bell & Ross (diamond-set BR05), and Gerard Perregaux's Laureato models. The hosts praise several brands for their design execution while noting Raymond Weil's transformation into a serious enthusiast brand. For "other things," Andrew recommends Momofuku's chili crunch as superior to traditional chili crisp, while Everett enthusiastically reviews the horror film "Obsession," which he saw with his daughter and describes as one of the best movies he's seen in years.

Speaker
Andrew Hello, fellow watch lovers, nerds, enthusiasts, or however you identify. You're listening to 40 and 20, the WatchClicker podcast with your hosts Andrew and my good friend Everett. Here we talk about watches, food, drinks, life and other things we like. Everett, how are you?
Everett I'm good. This beer is called St I I th it says Stash Panda, but I thought it was trash panda.
Andrew I think that's the idea. Yeah. Well I
Everett mean certainly. Uh but I I like I was like, oh trash panda. What is it's like recyc everything's recycled.
Andrew They have a they have a valve at the bottom of the dumpster
Everett and they just pour it in and they
Andrew don't even need to add the yeast. It's just it's just already naturally
Everett occurring. An American version of the Belgian monk. Yeah, I'm doing well. I I just I just I'm a little sweaty.
Andrew It's a little hot outside. It's warm, but
Everett also I so we meet at 830. We meet at 830 when we record eight thirty is the time. It's a standing time. We don't we don't have to discuss it. In fact, if if we do discuss it, it's because it's not gonna be eight thirty.
Andrew So if we're recording on Tuesday, it's Tuesday
Everett at 8:30. Um, 7:40. Kim says, Hey, the toilet seat's broken. My dad's here. We need to get it changed. No problem. Go to Lowe's. Lowe's is seven minutes.
Everett If. Yeah. Go to Lowe's.
Everett That's exactly one mile from our home. Veteran parking. Uh zip zip. In and out. $41, $37 after my discount. Uh get home. Um you know, approximately seven minutes after that. I open, I grab my the tools I'm gonna need. You know, I need a screwdriver and I need a uh you know some pliers and uh grab those in the garage, go in the bathroom, uh, open the box up, take out my pocket knife, take the plastic off, toilet seat's broken.
Everett Back to Lowe's. Seven
Everett minutes later, I am at the returns counter. I say, this is broken. And she says, has it been used? And I said, no, I just left. I got it home. I took the plastic off.
Everett You can see this receipt is 17 minutes old.
Everett She says, Okay, yep, just go ahead and grab another one. I go, the only other box is open and I pull it open, and the toilet seat's broken in the same place. And I'm like, okay, this is a sign.
Andrew This is a bad palette. So I move So
Everett I then I have to figure out okay, what what else am I gonna get? This is for the teenage bathroom, so it's gotta be something that's a little sturdy. So I find one, it's a little bit more, uh, go back to the counter, and the lady says, Oh, it's not the same one. I was like, Nope, it's not. You were out of those, or actually you had one more, but it was broken, just like this one. And she goes, Oh shoot, this is gonna take a while. Like, okay. Why? Okay. And uh yeah, so about 10 minutes later, I walk out, uh, having spent an additional seven dollars and seventeen cents. Uh I walk out of Lowe's, I get in my car, I come home. Takes me about
Andrew 90 seconds, three minutes to
Everett change the toilet seat. I grab our book. I come over here. I realize I've forgotten the SD card. I go back. So I'm just like, that's been my last hour. And and I'm late. I don't know what time 'cause I'm not wearing a watch because I'm
Everett It it you you came over at
Andrew uh hang on, let's see the first the first blink hit was at uh
Everett 846. So I mean really that's not terrible, right? That's an hour for all of that.
Andrew Yeah. That
Everett is terrible. It's terrible that you had to make a second trip
Andrew for a toilet seat. Yeah, no, that's
Everett that's not the most fun thing. It was fine. Everybody was nice. Um it was fine. It's just like it's a tiny bit annoying.
Andrew It's inconvenient. Yeah, I mean,
Everett but whatever. Got it done. Little uh I you know, I uh the older I get, the more I'm like that is really nice to do a to have done a project.
Andrew Mm-hmm. Feels really good to have you. Re
Everett goodally. I did a thing. So maybe that's just my age or uh I don't know. I don't know. Like yeah, I did a thing. Andrew, how are
Andrew you? I'm not as excited as you uh so on wednesday today is thursday yesterday we got an email from the school principal who was like hey you know lice is always kind of a thing but honestly, it's kind of all over the school, just as a heads up. Uh your kids can still come to school though, that's fine. Uh here's a couple products that you know we've seen success with in the past. Uh mind you, tomorrow, we're out of school. Like for the kids I'm obviously not in school, but the kids are done with school. So with th two days remaining in the school year, we have a lice outbreak.
Everett Oh boy. Family's supposed to
Andrew go camping this weekend. We uh and a group of friends rented out a camp, like with cabins and a pool and
Everett shit. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So
Andrew check the kids. There's no lice on 'em last night. Send 'em to school and Sam texts me today, like fairly early in the day. It's like I have it.
Everett Oh shoot.
Andrew No. Which I think is really funny because I'm bald, so I can't get lice. So it's like I don't get strep. I don't get lice. Like I'm in I'm immune to these weird things that are highly uncomfortable.
Everett Yeah. So it's kind of it's a little funny to me.
Andrew And I was like, oh dang it. That means the kids are gonna have it. And sure as shit, they get home from school today and they are both licensed.
Everett They both must have had it yesterday, or at least one of them had it yesterday.
Andrew I did a I did a fairly okay, like cursory search of them. How did
Everett San get it? Uh we were
Andrew at the school on Wednesday for like two and a half hours. Oh
Everett yeah, maybe for fifth grade commencement.
Andrew So that's the only like yeah, no,
Everett and and you know what the products don't work
Everett is there's no products that work you just have to physically remove them it's fucking nightmare
Everett we we had we had lice with Betty two times and it was just like
Everett like there's no products. They just don't work. They don't
Everett actually do anything. You have to
Everett just physically remove them. So yeah,
Everett that's a week. So that's been our day.
Everett That'll be your next week. Doing like a full disinvent.
Andrew Well, so the products that we got come with that super crazy fine tooth comb.
Everett Yeah that's that's what is that's what
Everett you actually need is the comb. And by the way my
Everett whole entire body is itching right now. Yeah. Just talking
Andrew about it. And I'm sure everybody listening is itchy. I'm I'm feeling fine. I'm impervious. Uh so that was our day. Like just load after load after load after load of laundry.
Everett Because bedding takes forever.
Andrew And obviously they all sleep in beds. So
Everett we're almost there. There's a load of bedding
Andrew in the dryer and a load finishing up in the washer. So by the time we're done here, the final load should be hitting the dryer.
Everett Yeah, I mean I think the best way to deal with it is shave everybody bald and then probably like singe everybody's hair with a
Everett torch. I think so. A weed burner.
Everett Yeah. Yeah. I think that's that's your best bet.
Andrew You ever used one of those? Uh yeah. Weed I love that.
Everett They're fun. Yeah. Really fun.
Everett Yeah, it's fun. It's like this is how you should remove
Andrew everything. But anyway, we're not in any
Everett event, we're not here to talk about toilet seats
Everett or lows or or
Andrew lice for that matter. Lows or lice.
Everett It's no lows, no lice. Rather, we're here to talk about watches. And
Andrew man, and Andrew, did you have the experience that
Everett there was a lot of like like interesting releases like even in just the last four days?
Andrew Uh yeah, but they the a lot of the interesting releases like just didn't scratch any itches for me. Yeah
Everett I was like I'm like, oh that was cool. You know that's happened a couple times where I where I'm like
Andrew whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa and you're like I don't
Everett like anything. I I mean I didn't dislike
Andrew it but I did I frankly did not really get very excited about much. And I don't know it wasn't the lice because that that was like my my selections were made Tuesday. So I don't know, maybe the last two days were
Everett Oh yeah, maybe were really exciting. Maybe.
Andrew Um it's Thursday afternoon. Totally
Everett my fault, by the way. You guys, it's totally my fault.
Andrew Uh so maybe it was it was the last couple days. Cause I I didn't see much of what was on your list. But you know, in the preceding several days, I'm like, yeah, that's neat.
Everett I would say, I would say 90% of
Everett my list is from the last three days.
Andrew Yeah, I I would I would agree to that.
Everett Well, why don't you get us started? Oh,
Andrew I am gonna get us stard. Let's let's start with uh Kwame Tokyo. Sure. So we have a new Kubo collection, and these are exactly as good as you expected them. The Kwame Tokyo is like. I don't understand how a brand shows up and just drops only bangers, like they've been an established brand for 50 years.
Everett Yeah, I you know, I was thinking about this. What what's a brand that feels
Everett similar to me? And
Everett the closest thing I can think of is Laurier. I feel like Kuwame Tokyo. Obviously, Laurier's got a very sporty vibe versus Kuame Tokyo is very sort of refined, dressy aesthetic.
Everett Um, but the that was
Everett the closest analog I could come up with
Everett in my head. Um because
Everett I can't think of another brand that just like rolled out and they were like banger banger banger banger banger.
Andrew Brew maybe yeah but really
Everett different wholly different yeah realm.
Andrew Um, you know, I think uh I don't know.
Everett I mean, really the darling of well, at least for us, the darling of the Japanese micro brand scene. And it doesn't hurt that they're coming in at a price
Everett point that I think is up our alley
Everett versus like Corona Tokyo, for instance, a little bit more expensive. Very tough to get.
Andrew Yeah, but they're they're making bangers. So this is a 37mm case. It's 9.3 thick.
Everett I think that makes this s the first deviation from that original platform.
Andrew Yes. So whole new line in the Kubo, 45 lug to lug, push-pull crown, 30 meters of water resistance, which I think for a watch sized like this, and and at dressy though it may be, this is still a sport watch.
Everett Yeah, I'd I'd like to see 100 out of it in
Andrew a screwdown crown. I'm not upset about 30 in a push pull though.
Everett Especially at 9-5 or 9-2 or 9-3. Yeah.
Everett Uh Miyota 8S25 or
Andrew 8-2S5 movement, 42 hour power reserve on this. Uh calf skin leather strap. Pre-orders open up in a couple weeks, so they're doing the release in like the right order. It's not like, hey, pre-orders are open now. They're gonna build a little bit of hype and six hundred and thirty US dollars for this. There's three colors on here. There's a Sakura Cherry Blossom, uh Tetsukon Navy Blue, and Usuki, which is an ivory. These are all lacquered dials with a recessed small seconds at the 430, uh blued hands, like just they're doing all of the right stuff at a a price that I I don't understand.
Everett Yeah, no, I I mean obviously w one one place they're saving money is with the movement. You know, these eight two movements are are I I mean frankly it it's not my favorite movement, and and I think I'm well on record as uh being critical of that movement. But um yeah, everything else, you know, case finishing
Everett is top-notch, the
Everett dials are great. I this is probably of of the Kuane Tokyo releases. This is probably my least favorite Andrew. Um I don't I like the size. I like the size, but the dial itself for me leaves a little something to be desired. Uh there is this is a subseconds, uh,
Everett a 445 subseconds,
Everett or I guess probably a four, th butirty I think it's actually like four forty five. Um and and the sub dial is sans marking. So we've got we've got
Andrew except for the uh uh cherry blossom, which has like an embossed cherry blossom
Everett that's the the concave
Andrew bowl. This is so what we just think about this dial is it's a convex dial that's lacquered and then a concave
Everett sub subdial. It creates a
Andrew lot of like really dynamic lighting on this dial that's really neat.
Everett So we've got one fifth of
Everett a minute markers on the minute
Everett track and and then we have no markings on I mean it just it feels a little un nonsensical to me the markings do I love the fonts on the minute track? I it it the Breggae is the Brega numerals are fine. This they're sort of raised steel brega numerals. The handset is phenomenal, including the subseconds. Uh, but I think this is maybe the least cohesive of their designs.
Andrew I think you're right. I think the small seconds is a little bit of a novelty that could have been executed better when you get into the granular details in the way that people like us with neck beards
Everett do. Sure. Yeah, I mean it's just it's just, you know, it's like we y you know, I I don't like tutor's fucking riveted bracelets for the same reason. It's just that it doesn't make sense. Like what is this embellishment in in a it's not practical embellishment. I just I really I really eschew just embellishment for the sake of embellishment. Yeah. So um and but with that said, these are pretty minor details. This is a gorgeous watch. And at 37 millimeters, it I think is a really interesting proposition. I love my Kwame Tokyo. I wear it it's probably like second or third most worn watch in my collection right now. I think these guys are great. I really like this watch. I really like this brand, even if I'm not super duper wild about
Andrew this watch. Fair enough.
Everett I would like to talk about.
Everett I would like to talk about uh I this is an expensive watch and I'm gonna lead with it because I think it's so cool. Um but it's very expensive. This is an expensive watch. So uh Angelus?
Andrew Mm-hmm. Is that what we're gonna call him? Angelus? I think Angelus.
Everett Angelus. Yeah. Um Angelus uh is a you know, historic company, um and they uh really sort of moved the needle on movement development in the twentieth century and then succumbed to the courts crisis, brought back, brought back, I don't know, at this point 15 years ago, 16 years ago, um, under Le Jou Perret. And Angeles has been dropping sort of instrument
Everett timer watches subsequently.
Everett Uh they've got their uh
Everett and recently, especially recently, they've got their medical
Everett chronograph of 2023,
Everett uh the instrument divitesse of
Everett 2024, uh which is like uh uh racing chronograph, and then their chronograph telemetrae of 2025. Um and and they all sort of time a different thing, obviously. The the medical is a pulsometer, the uh divitesse, probably saying that wrong apologies, is a tachometer and and then the t the telemeter is a telemeter. Uh which telemeters are really cool. It it it allows you to time how far away something is by by measuring
Everett you by starting when you
Everett see the thing happen and stopping when you hear it happen that will tell you it that's a really cool that's really cool. We
Andrew talked about that in our uh uh in a bezel episode we talked about that
Everett i think i think telebaters are cool anyway that i
Andrew thought that was how you would like move from one place to another without having to travel there.
Everett Oh yeah, telemetry. Uh
Andrew that's teleportation. Damn shit.
Everett Uh so they've taken all three of these now and combined them and you think, well, okay, kitchen sink. This is gonna be a soup sandwich.
Andrew It is. I love it. I s I
Everett say it's not. I think for being such a bizarre mishmash, I think it is so cohesive and really lovely. This hat this looks like a slide rule, right?
Andrew It looks like an instrument. But unlike
Everett a slide rule, it's very clear. Once you get into it, you're like, there's no way I'm gonna be able to. But then once you get in, it's very clear what is everything. So it's got your telemeter all the way on the outside, then inside it and and that's in one color. So there's two dials: there's a white dial and a black dial, and the black dials the black dial fox. Uh so you've got a blue on in the black dial, just talk about that for a second. All the way on the outside, you've got a blue telemeter. Then just inside of that, you've got just a white minutes track. And it almost disappears. The minute track almost disappears. Then just inside of that, you've got an orange or sort of a red a brick colored rusty pulsometer. And then just inside of that, you've got I think it's a green, like a yellowish green or maybe it's white. Um you you've got a a spiral a spiral um tachometer and hole that allows you to go from 20 miles per hour to 550 miles per hour. This thing is fucking red.
Andrew Is there no running seconds?
Everett Um, there is no running seconds. No, this is a mono pusher chronograph operated at the three o'clock crown. Uh, it has got a very narrow lug opening relative to the dial and the case, uh, and very slender, kind of lean, long lugs. They're not actually long, but relative to the case, they feel a little lean. Only 30 meters of water resistance on this, which makes a ton of sense. It has got a gorgeous, absolutely stunning movement. It's the Angelus Caliber A5000, which is an in-house instrument. I don't know much about it, but it is beautiful.
Andrew Did did you mention that it's uh only nine two five thick?
Everett Yeah, it's super thin. 39 millimeters by 925 thick, all stainless steel, polished bezel. Um golly, this thing is so fucking cool. Uh so the caliber A5000 is a la joue pure movement, but it's in-house for Angelus. Hand hand wound, mono pusher, chronograph, column wheel, and coupling with an oscillated pinion. It is a fucking cool movement, dude. That's wild. Yeah, so it's a it's a it it's got a uh uh one-minute chronograph that operates on a centrosecond. Okay. Um
Andrew th now it got a little silly.
Everett Well uh for those three functionalities
Andrew you don't need any more than a minute. Well, it it
Everett actually it it actually is only a one-minute chronograph because it doesn't record any other grades. But it keeps going indefinitely. Because this is a spiral tachometer, it that actually requires three minutes to get to 20 miles per hour. So you get 500 at about like seven seconds or whatever, and then and then 60 miles per hour is at the one minute
Andrew mark, but this just keeps going
Everett 40 20. Um, yeah, this thing's really cool. Limited edition, 25 pieces per dial
Andrew color, 18,400
Everett francs. I I love it. I can't afford it. Um, and I probably wouldn't buy it if I could afford it because I'd buy something else unless I had like just fuck you money.
Andrew Yeah. Um, yeah.
Everett This is rad. If this was if this was an eighteen hundred dollar watch, I would I would buy it.
Andrew It wouldn't be uh this, I think, at a time. Yeah, well
Everett that's uh that's right. I guess my point is my point is, you know, people have different financial capabilities. That would be my like I think that the for me, 1800 bucks, I'd probably insta buy this. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? I like what I'm saying.
Andrew I like this two thousand dollars also. Yeah,
Everett I think I insta-buy it. I this is one of the coolest watches I've seen in a very long time. I just love it. I it I was totally charmed by this. The second I just I saw it and I was like, I'm charmed by this. And then I started reading about it and I was like, I want to marry you.
Andrew How how you make yourself so cool.
Everett I really, I really, really like this watch. I, you know, I don't know enough about Angelus's like finishing or whatever to say this is gonna wear well or you're gonna like it. I don't I don't know. And I'm not the right guy for that. We're not the right podcast for that, frankly. Um, but that movement is gorgeous and this watch looks rad.
Andrew The finishing looks phenomenal. These are all product photos.
Everett Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that movement, dude. Love it. Um Andrew, what's next?
Andrew Do we need to talk about anything else? No, we
Everett could just wrap it. Uh oh.
Andrew Yemma. Again, just relentlessly hitting them out of the park. The new Grand Vell Renaissance CMM29. We've seen the Granville before. Uh this is an upgraded version, an iterated version. So since a little smaller, they've changed the dial significantly and made it this really elaborate uh multiple layers of texture and pops of color in the most subtle way possible. This dial looks to me like uh Like a Versace handbag.
Everett You know what I mean? Like that like it's
Andrew boisterous, but you can't tell that it is. Yeah. So this is an upgrade micro rotor, and I'm not exactly sure what changes they've made to this new movement.
Everett Well, it's in uh it it's in-house versus the last version of this was I don't know, it was like a s a solita or something.
Andrew Right, but it like in the way of actual like physical upgrades to it? Um
Everett to go from the CMM 20 versus 29.
Andrew Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It didn't yeah,
Everett I wasn't able to I wasn't able to glean that information.
Andrew That will come out. So this is a 37 and a half millimeter across nine millimeter thick fifty meters of water resistance ah just a really lovely iteration on this watch 2100 euros, oh 2300, 2400 bucks.
Everett Yeah, when they came out the Granville last year,
Everett I I thought this is really cool,
Everett but I don't love the aesthetic. This is a remarkably similar watch, but for me is more cohesive. I think the the dial switching to the like sort of medallion sector type
Andrew thing, um, I think
Everett that this watch is just entirely more cohesive. Obviously, it's a more expensive watch than their original Grandville. But um yeah, I actually I I enjoy this watch. I still think it's not for me of all the Yemma's that Yemma's released in the last year
Andrew it's bottom of my list for things that I'm gonna get, but it's still it's still an another like a great addition to their catalog.
Everett Yeah, it it's cool that they're doing something different because I think Yamma if you're gonna accuse them of anything, it's that they sort of
Andrew They found their their sweet spot and they're they're hitting them out of the park there.
Everett Yeah, and they played a little safe too, I guess is is what else I would say about that. At least in terms of design. Um this is and this is not that with those, you know, flanked sort of those fluted sides, case sides, and it's not safe. And I and I appreciate that.
Andrew Yeah. A nice, a nice iteration.
Everett Yeah. I like it. It is it's it's pricey, but their CMM stuff is all pricey.
Andrew Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of what they do with that line.
Everett Um yeah, let me go here. Raymond Wile.
Andrew Okay. Raymond Wile.
Everett Hey Ray. What up? It's been a minute since we talked. Uh Raven Wild has Raven Wild has right in front of our eyes, right in front of our eyes, our very eyes, become an enthusiast watch brand. They went from being completely unspoken of in the enthusiast space to winning a GPH and then dropping multiple watches that garner interest from watch people every year. Now, is everything a slam dunk? I don't think so. And frankly, I think this watch maybe isn't a slam dunk, but it is because of the fact that it's not a slam dunk and yet still a
Everett really good enthusiast release,
Everett that I am sort this isn't a GPHG winner, and yet it is still an enthusiast watch.
Andrew Now I I'm not exactly
Everett if you asked me to to explain what I meant by that I'd probably spend a lot of time hemming and hawing but um so I'll just leave it at that. I I'm gonna I I said what I said and I'm gonna kind of stick with it. Uh what this is, is this is an IWC engineer that is has a Raven Wow logo at 12 o'clock. And of course, it is not an IWC engineer, but it is very much a watch that I think has um either borrowed or coincidentally arrived at some of the same design cues. Uh and it's fantastic. Look, it it's fantastic. It's boring. So the IWC engineer,
Andrew yeah, its dial is
Everett not boring. It has a remarkably cool dial. Uh Raymond Wow hasn't done that here. This is this is a very boring dial, but everything else about the watch looks great. The bracelet looks great. The bezel looks great, the uh shape of the case is great, if not original, the H case bracelet looks great. You can get this in either st all steel or all steel with some PVD two tone coloration. Uh the handset is good. The dial is boring but also well executed. Uh and and they're gonna do all of this. They're so okay, what do they they call this the art, the A-R-T collection, which means something dumb. Art, refinement, and timekeeping. Um yeah. That's dumb. And you can get this in either um blue in both steel and two tone. You can get this in black, both steel and two tone, or you can get this in gray just in steel.
Andrew I'd call that silver. Yeah.
Everett Anthracite.
Andrew Uh it's I think it's lighter than anthrocyte.
Everett You know, some lights it is, and some lights it's not. Some and some light it is pretty look, look here.
Andrew Yeah, I guess so. Maybe it's kind of a fun silver girl.
Everett It's a really dynamic. Yeah. It's a dynamic silver. Um and yeah, bracelet looks great. It's got a butterfly glasp, which I don't love. And the best part is this is it's two thousand it's a two thousand dollar watch, guys.
Andrew Yeah. It's two thousand dollar watch.
Everett Uh it and and frankly, it's a two thousand dollar watch. Dimensions are good. Thirty-eight by forty two by ten thick, which fucking
Andrew nine five nailed it. Yeah, 995.
Everett Um, it's a s it's an uh a Raven Wild 40 200, which is uh Salita SW200 base. I've been hard on the SW200, especially in recent episodes. I'm no different here, but I think that's the that's like you say it's in a two
Andrew thousand dollar watch. There you go. There you
Everett go. Um if you want
Everett to go up a little bit then you can then you
Andrew can bitch about the movement, but that's where the industry has set a Salita 200 fits.
Everett Everything looks good. And you know, it's like I feel like Raymond We is Raymond Weil for me is a little bit like let's say I'm trying to find the right brand. I I I want to say Christopher Ward, which is to say, I don't need to worry, I don't need to worry that their finishing is not going to be good. Because even if you go to the mall and pick up a shitty fucking stupid Raymond Wild, the finishing's gonna be good.
Andrew Yeah, that's gonna be the best part of the watch. That's
Everett right. That's right. And and so, like, and and that's different than Christopher Ward, obviously, but I guess my point is like I have complete confidence in Raven Wild's ability to finish a watch. Just like I do with Christopher Ward. Right? Unlike, unlike perhaps Zinn or you know, I don't want to pick on anybody here, but you know, some brands it's like uh you never fucking know, right?
Andrew Yeah. You just don't know. Seiko
Everett is the is the best. Seiko is the the biggest offender of this. Like you might get you know, or maybe citizen, right? Like you might you might have one citizen that's finished just awesome, and then another one, and and and and it doesn't track necessarily with what you've paid either at all.
Andrew It doesn't even track watch by watch. Like the Q like you might get the one that was properly finished or you might get the one that got dragged through the gravel.
Everett Yeah. Yeah that's right. That's right.
Andrew The specs were all out of tolerance. Like they were programming the machine while they were cutting it.
Everett So I, you know, as as I I guess the you know, to sum, to summarize, I think that this is a fairly pedestrian release given what we've learned to expect from Raymond Wilde. But the fact that it's a pedestrian release and it's still pretty good means that we're talking about a much different company than existed five years ago.
Andrew Yeah. This is a much different company. The direction
Everett they're taking this is a great
Andrew They're doing the thing that everybody else is doing. Everybody is making this watch.
Everett Sure. They didn't have to. And they're like,
Andrew oh, everybody's making this watch. So let's go and make a good one.
Everett Yeah. Yeah.
Everett Uh it it is an IWC engineer. Like I mean, just like I I don't want to, it's not an homage. And no, that's not fair. But it it like they didn't
Andrew I mean they didn't swing for the fences on this. So
Everett there's there's there were were there wasn't a ton of courageous decision making in the design process. Let's leave it there.
Andrew You know what though? This is exact like this boring watch exists in about seventy five brands. Yeah,
Everett I'd fucking I'd wear this watch. I'd wear it and happy happily.
Andrew Without even a hes second hesitation. Hell
Everett yeah. I'd wear this watch. This is a cool watch. It's a cool watch. Uh how much is an engineer? They start at like eight.
Andrew Ooh, I think so. Uh other cool thing, these are coming in at a 38 and a 30 sizing.
Everett Yeah. So we're gonna get some little babies of
Andrew this. Which which is cool. And 38 I
Everett think is the original engineer size, but I don't think it exists today.
Andrew Uh I don't know where the engineer sits size wise. It's like
Everett I think they've got like a 41 and a and a 36 or something that what is the base cost of IWC engineer? This is like an I in there.
Andrew Oh there's a few eyes in there. Th'eres a lot of
Everett valves. Um yeah, 11-2 for the core 40 millimeter stainless steel
Andrew model. So yeah.
Everett Uh hang on, turn it. Let
Andrew me see it. Uh yeah, I just want a side by side these real quick. Oh
Everett hold on. I didn't I just pulled up the uh
Andrew the AI response. Yeah. That blue is really dynamic too, as I'm zooming in on it.
Everett And and and so and obviously there's differences. The IWC's got its got its five bolts in the bezel, and the Raymond Well instead has like some notches. I think they've got like four notches in the bezel.
Andrew No. And Ingenieur has
Everett the big crown guards, Raymond Wilde doesn't.
Andrew The taper on the uh Raymond Wilde bracelet is substantial. It like all occurs in the first two links.
Everett I really, really like the
Everett taper on the Raymond Wile.
Everett And in fact, I I think I like
Everett it more than I think I like it more than on the engineer. Which
Andrew you need a good bracelet taper on a thirty-eight.
Everett That's right. It's it's
Andrew really fast, but it's really smooth.
Everett I think they've just done a great job with this. It I do you know, I think that they could have done something better with the dial. Let's j I think maybe that's my complaint. And I like the fact that it doesn't have crown guards. It makes it a little bit sleeker.
Andrew Plus felt. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I I could have done without metallic
Everett the sunburst. In the sunburst in the
Andrew in the silver and the blue. Yeah. Give us a like
Everett a either a matte dial or just a gloss, like a deep bottom of the earth black gloss. Yeah. I really like the I really like the two tone. I really like the two tone black.
Andrew It I two tones m doing a thing for me.
Everett It gives me what's the what's the the quartz date just? What do they what what do you call that? It gives me quartz date just vibes.
Andrew Kinda does. What is that watch called? Uh the quartz date just
Everett uh oyster quartz. It gives me it gives me a little bit of oyster quartz vibes.
Andrew It kinda does have that have that feel. But it's it's well done PvD. It doesn't look like it doesn't look shitty.
Everett Yeah. And a lot of two tone
Andrew looks shitty. Even when when good PvD application.
Everett Sure. They they did a
Andrew good job. And it's is the two-tone crown.
Everett Yeah, yeah, look. It's got a bit of uh course the oyster quartz comes on a Jubilee. It's a different watch, but it it it's got sort of a similar that blacked out or strickz, I think it's just a sexy watch. And this this pulls off a similar vibe. Yeah.
Andrew Like they just They did all the right stuff besides get uh a little inspired with a dial. Sure.
Everett Yeah. Um what's next?
Andrew Oh, next up for me. Um shard paragon.
Everett I don't know why the way you said that made me laugh.
Andrew I'm excited about it. Four new L'Oreado models in 36 and 39. And they are Laureados, just like we all know what we're looking at here. Uh but this bringing in 36 and 39 colors is fantastic. So there's a rose gold toned and blue enamel in the 39 and a rose gold toned and diamond set in the 36, which I always think is a bummer that um thirty six is used for like jewelry applications. Yeah, it's I I just I don't think 36 is uh I don't think it should be reserved for just women.
Everett Sure. Uh because I really like a 36
Andrew size. Um and I really like everything about that except for the diamond setting. That the that really like almost matte silver with that pyramid texture across it is fantastic. And then you get diamond set. I'm like, well, now I can't afford you. Uh 150 meters of water resistance. Um, I couldn't afford it anyway. 23,000 for the uh the rose gold 245 for the blue enamel
Everett yeah go get yourself a ram and wow you don't need this watch
Andrew i you don't can i uh can i
Everett say something petty please and and a little probably annoying so the author of this, I don don't't know. I know, Tim Jeffries. You sent me a hodinky article. Chim Tim Jeffries is a writer for Hodinky. I think he's a good writer. Um, but he's got a he's got like a tweed blazer over an Oxford cloth, probably I'm assuming a button-down Oxford cloth shirt. And the and the edges at the sleeve are frayed in like a sort of deliberate take Ivy. And I saw that and I was like I just thought like I was like oh you fucking prick he might be a a wonderful person and it's actually a stylistic decision that I think is kind of fun but also I like instantly was like, oh this fucking asshole, like what a jerk.
Everett That was my initial reaction when I saw his framage.
Andrew Fuck you, Gerard Perigo and your new Laureados.
Everett Oh, Tim Jeffrey. Tim in your shirt
Andrew ruined it forever. I'm
Everett sure he's a wonderful fellow, and that is and I ad I admit that that was a petty, but that was my reaction when I saw that.
Andrew Nothing exciting but for a few new colors in 36 and 39.
Everett Go read your take, Ivy.
Everett Um I uh I I love the direction that autodrama is going. They released a new watch this week. It is a new Group C, so Group C was their uh really cool sort of whimsical digital watch they released last year. Uh we
Everett I think it was two years ago.
Andrew You know, I don't know. Yeah,
Everett you might be right. Yeah, maybe I. think it it's's
Andrew been a while since we've uh talked autodromo.
Everett And and at I think at our age everything is just last year
Andrew pretty much uh um
Everett but they have released the autodromo group c turbo sport which sort of harkens back to the prototype days of group C racing in the eighties. Um really, really cool wild cars. Uh and really sort of as as this uh Elodie Townsend article states uh really the golden arrow of turbocharge rally racing and um gosh, I love this. So this is uh sort of a helmet cased and a digi that's asymmetrical at the bottom to I I want to say it's asymmetrical at the bottom, but maybe I'm I'm wrong on that. Um r revealing a digital a very small, very antiquated and uh perhaps even uh uh a petite digital window. And this watch is just God, it's it's perfect. This This watch is perfect. It is an anodized aluminum case that comes in a few different colors. So you can either get this in a gold PV, uh gold anodized aluminum with black dial yellow markers, a silver anodized aluminum with a sort of like periwinkle gray dial and black markers and green hands or a black anodized aluminum case but really like sort of a dark purple inky anodized with a black dial and red features. Um the two, the gold and the silver both have a blue pusher at four o'clock. The red, the the you know, black the the red on black has a red pusher. It's four pushers. You get like three time zones. Theoretically, you have a chronograph, a highly functional watch, four pusher, sort of Casio style, 38.5 millimeter case with a 40 millimeter hooded lug lug to lug hooded. It comes on a uh FKM rubber with a nylon inlay strap, which is just perfect for this watch. I I gotta say, man, this is you know, if Raymond Wild was safe, Autodromo is the opposite of that, and really, really playing ball hard. And I love it. I think that they make so many good moves. And this is a 400 $50 watch.
Andrew This could everything about this watch, the cool design, the nostalgic feel to it, everything about it says it's going to be a twelve to fifteen hundred dollar watch. But it's just not because Auto Dromo is way too cool for that shit.
Everett Yeah. Yeah. I I mean, I just I yeah. I feel like I'm very high on watches tonight. I do think, Andrew, I think I do have a bit of like
Everett mood based analysis
Everett when I'm talking about watches and I can admit that and I don't feel bad about it. Um yeah, you
Andrew come in you come in tired. You're shitty about everything.
Everett Sometimes I'm just looking at I'm like, God, everything is so good tonight. These watches are all so good. And this is no different. This
Everett is I can't say a bad thing about this watch.
Everett Now, if I had designed it, would I have designed it this way? No, but that's the
Everett fucking point, right? I I've
Andrew been uh meticulously studying this dial. I think the asymmetry is an illusion because the the dial isn't cut into for the the digital display it's just gone. I think that transition of a round dial everywhere else to go into square. Makes it look asymmetrical.
Everett It's got a bit of a uh like a uh it appears a bit egg-shaped,
Andrew but you're you're suggesting like an upside
Everett down egg, but you're suggesting that that is
Everett an optical illusion. I think your brain's playing a
Andrew trick on you. I was gonna say tongue-shaped, so yours was more eloquent. Do
Everett you remember that game? It
Everett is i it it was a predecessor
Everett to like the Cruisin USA or Cruisin World games. It go go way back to like nineteen eighty-four and you're in like a red Ferrari. There's a guy and a gal sitting gal with blonde h
Andrew I know exactly what you're talking about, and I can't think of the name of the game.
Everett This watch is that a physical embodiment of that game.
Everett Yeah. The era's right. Yeah.
Everett It's this is a terrific watch. I I really I I really love this. You know, we've connected with this is it's Bradley, right? We've connected with him a few times at shows and never got him on the show, but I think w it's really time for us to to sit down with him. And I I would love to pick his brain about where his head's at when he's doing this stuff.
Andrew We had uh we I think we had him on a we did a short with him when we met Sama wind up a couple years ago.
Everett I I think you're right. Yeah Bradley Price. Yeah.
Everett Um I I think you're right. I think we did get him for a minute. It was
Everett whatever it is. Yeah. I think so. Yeah.
Everett No, I'm I in fact I'm confident I can remember I can remember where we were. We were at the uh we were in San Francisco and he was over there in the corner.
Andrew I didn't talk to him in San Francisco. I was I haven't been in San Francisco.
Everett Hmm. We were at that um
Andrew oh what was the last venue that
Everett Chelsea Market. At Chelsea Market, yeah. Okay.
Andrew He was right by uh James Brand.
Everett Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's right. I'm conflating the two places. Yep. That's right.
Andrew Which makes sense because that that venue feels a lot more San Francisco than it does Manhattan.
Everett Yeah. Yeah, it does. No, you're you're not wrong
Andrew about that. Well, anyway, I love this release.
Everett I you know, I I actually think I I said this when the group seed came out, but I think it's time for me to get an autodrama. I think it now may actually be time for me to get an autodrama. I just love this
Everett thing. Andrew, what's next?
Andrew I don't think I care. I don't think I care enough about anything else. Uh we could talk about a new Bro five.
Everett Sure. So there is
Andrew a new Bell and Ross BRO5, 36mm, Blue Diamond, Eagle Diamond. Um, a lot of diamond. And
Everett yeah, the the blue diamond eagle. Blue Diamond Eagle diamond.
Andrew Blue Diamond Eagle Diamond, yeah. Yeah. Uh it I mean as much as I hate it and want to hate it a lot, uh it works. So it is an aventuring dial set with seven diamonds set into the adventurine to evoke the Aquila constell constellation. Uh and it's stupid and fun, and the the bevel on the outside of the bezel is also diamond set. Like it's just a blinged out for the sake of bling watch, right? This is as middle finger as a watch can be. Uh they dropped it in a 36, I think, with the hopes of it being like a ladies watch. I I can't think of any any Bell and Ross that uh I mean I don't know, they're they're huge chunks of metal. I don't think putting diamonds on it is going to make it uh make it feel more uh palatable to to women who aren't already into Bell and Ross. But only here and I say only, uh I don't know how there's not that the diamonds aren't very big, right? This is a 36mm watch, but it's only 6,600 bucks, which really isn't that far north of the BRO5 anyway.
Everett Yeah. It is it like it
Andrew kind of works. I I simultaneously hate it and love it. I don't think I would wear it. Like I don't want this watch, but I like that it exists.
Everett I I think I'm with you. I think
Andrew I'm with you. And it's fun to like do a constellation on a venturine. I don't think I've seen, I don't think we've seen that before. Like layering a venturine which already looks like the night sky with a a deliberately placed constellation in it in some other uh material.
Everett You know that I had a moment in time where I was really into the Bell and Ross Bureau of 5 in particular. I'm still
Everett into it. And and I think that
Everett that appeal
Everett has uh uh waned for me a little bit. Um with that said, this is a fun release and and I liked it. Uh well
Everett Andrew, it it I'm fine
Everett if you're fine. I'm fine just moving it right along, dude.
Everett Yeah, let's do it. Well well well o
Everett other things. What do you got? Oh we're gonna move all
Andrew the way along. My man. Um I got a new chili crunch uh sauce. Uh and you have you have Chili Crisp at your house for sure, right?
Everett Yeah. Uh and it's I know
Andrew which one of two jars it is.
Everett Yeah. Yeah. That's right. It's either the red
Andrew label one or the yellow label one. That's
Everett that's exactly right. And because that's what we all
Andrew have, yeah. Uh I was at Costco recently and saw the Momo Fuku branded uh chili crunch, and I was like, Well, I've never had anything from him that I didn't absolutely love.
Everett Okay. Because David Chang
Andrew is absolutely phenomenal. Uh I mean, I've you've had plenty of things out of out of his cookbook. Yep. Um tried it, opened it a couple days ago. Oh my gosh. It is head and shoulders above
Everett the other chili crisps. So so you're gonna have to you're gonna have to walk me
Andrew there. So the other chili crisps have a a really they're oily, right? So a chili crisp is hot oil pulled poured over flaked chilies and other kind of spices and shit to cook them in it, and then infuses that flavor into the oil, and you deposited it on top of things to add some good spice and some good flavor. This one is j like I find the others to be really, really nutty. Like like way too nutty. Almost like the like the chilies are overdried and like old. This is bright and fresh. It's a little bit spicier and cleaner, but it it peaks and then it holds for just a second and then it vanishes.
Everett Okay. Like and the the oil
Andrew doesn't coat your mouth in the same way that you're like, oh wow, I got I got way too into that. It's because that's what happens with chili crisp, right? It just it coats your tongue and your throat, and then everything is just chili crisp flavor. Sure. This is super clean. I I I'll' getll get you a little spoon of it uh when we're done here. But it it's so you can buy it from their website for oh
Everett thirteen bucks for a big
Andrew jar. That's the other thing. This is also like twice as twice the size of the chili crisp jars that you already have.
Everett Five ounce jar. Five and a half ounces. It's
Andrew it's really good. It's worth the if it if you find it at Costco, it's worth it. And if if not, uh it's worth worth upgrading your chili crisp game.
Everett I love it. I love it. That's a good that's a good other thing. That's like uh I think that's like sort of a classic uh other thing.
Andrew Get a good chili crisp. Andrew, I've got another thing. Doomy.
Everett I saw a movie recently. My daughter said, Hey, Vivian and I wanna go see this movie. Will you take us? And I said, yes. And I
Everett didn't ask what the movie was or anything because uh I figured she was asking me because she
Everett thought it would be a movie I'd meant to. And y you know, it's really cool,
Everett Andrew. My daughter she just needed you to get around
Andrew to the rated art movie. My daughter
Everett has um she had her eighth grade promotion today, uh w
Everett which um is crazy to think about. You know, it's just crazy to think about this little
Everett baby that I made is now this
Everett just human and um this this nearly adult human and
Andrew I remember sitting in a diner with you guys and like Sandy, I think, or maybe like Esticada or Milwaukee, show her being in a high chair.
Everett Yeah. Uh I think I think the car was
Andrew packed. I think we were driving to Virginia from there.
Everett That sounds right. Yeah. Uh um, and and now she's, you know, and she's delightful. She's really smart, but what it was gonna say is it's really cool that she says, we want to see
Everett this movie, will you take us? And
Everett I didn't even for I didn't even for a second question that I would enjoy it, right? I just
Everett if if there if she's into it, this is something
Andrew something there. You've curated a really unique taste in her though, and she's taken to it. You've been really deliberate in the way you've introduced her to things and in the context that you've introduced her to things, such that she she has the movie and music tastes of a 45-year-old mic.
Everett That's not unfair. I I would like to think that I've I've had some influence with her, but you know, she's really at this point, she's autonomous. You know, I don't I'm not contributing all that much at this point. But yeah, you know,
Andrew you sowed the seeds, ma'am. I of of course,
Everett you know, this is a kid that at age 11 was wearing a Banksy a
Everett Banksy Queen Elizabeth
Everett David Bowie sweatshirt to school. And
Everett then when people would be like, oh, what's your favorite David Bowie song? She could like rattle
Everett off for it. That's you're right. So I've definitely
Everett had some influence.
Andrew Yes. Uh with that said,
Everett um, you know, it's really cool that she says, yeah, I want to go see a movie you're interested in. I'm like, fuck yeah, let's do it. So anyway, we went to we've got a uh sort of a it's it's
Everett not quite an art theater, but it tends trends tends towards artsy movies called the Broadway Metro. And uh
Everett so we went, as you know, the three of us on a Friday night at I think it was 9:25 showtime. And
Andrew you didn't fall asleep? Um, I did not.
Everett I did not. The movie we saw was Obsession, and I haven't heard much about
Everett this movie. Um it was, I think it's Blumhouse. It
Everett was directed by a YouTuber who I Curry Barker is his name. I'd I know nothing about him. Um and the gist is this fellow finds a trinket that gives him a wish, and he makes that wish. So
Andrew it's like Aladdin. It is just
Everett like Aladdin. Yeah, and
Everett everything goes poorly, right? I saw
Andrew a trailer for it recently. It
Everett has it's one of those movies that came out with
Everett little marketing at fanfare, and then
Everett as more people have seen it, the
Everett fanfare has increased, which means which
Everett means it's good. Which means people are seeing
Everett this and they're like, whoa. Original release
Andrew date September 5th of 2025.
Everett Isn't that crazy? At TIFF, US
Andrew release May 15th of 2026.
Everett Yeah. Yeah. Uh can I can I rattle
Andrew off some stats here? Just to just to support the position that you're taking. Yeah,
Everett do it. $750,000 budget,
Andrew $238.7 million at the box office.
Everett Holy fuck. That is crazy. What
Everett was the budget? 750,000. How do you make a movie for $750,000?
Andrew I don't know. And then it makes $238 million?
Everett So uh I I
Everett really I went in pretty cold. I
Everett went in cold. And in fact, she said she she was like, Do you want me to send you trailers or whatever? And I was like, No, I want to go on cold. And she was like, She was like, Are you sure? And I was like, yeah, I think, I think so. I'm gonna like it. And she was like, I think you'll like it. And I was like, Yeah, I'll go in cold. So I went in cold. It was it was not what I expected,
Everett which is perhaps an unfair thing to say considering I
Andrew you chose to go in cold. I chose to go in cold.
Everett Holy cow.
Everett What a ride. It is one of those movies that will make you uncomfortable,
Everett but not in such a way that it's unpleasant. Sometimes
Everett movies, some of the best movies ever
Everett made, make you uncomfortable,
Everett but it's unpleasant, right? There are parts
Everett of it where you're like, okay, I'm glad I did
Everett that, but I don't need to do that again. I would
Everett watch this movie right now again. It was
Everett so good. It's scary.
Everett And scary in a way. I mean, there's it it
Everett it's a good blend of the type of you know, sometimes you see a movie and you're
Everett they're like, oh, it's scary. What kind of scary? Oh, it's jump scares. This is scary, it's got some jump scares,
Everett it's got some like just like really sort of like
Everett uh philosophical scariness to it. And then when you
Everett get to the end and it it it doesn't I mean the ending is not a shocker, right? It's like, okay, yeah,
Everett that's that's where we were headed, but it's still like it's scary as
Everett you realize that that's where you're gonna get
Everett to. And oh, you could you could
Andrew the anticipation of where you expect to get they played into that.
Everett A little. Yeah. And and I um I don't
Everett think that it suffers for
Everett its low ish budget all that much.
Andrew It's a m under a million dollar budget.
Everett Well, you know, sometimes sometimes movies like this
Everett was a really good movie, but it does suffer here or there because of that budget. I didn't feel that way here. It was really well done, very polished. And um man,
Everett the performances, the the
Everett lead probably
Everett never heard of him. The lead no, it it's
Everett the the gal whose name
Everett is that what it is?
Andrew I mean what's obsession
Everett cast? Um, yes she, is
Everett terrific. She
Everett is so good
Everett in this movie. She plays too
Everett Sci she plays two characters essentially, and she does
Everett such a good job at going at
Everett making the transition that you're like,
Everett you're almost like, was that the same? Did
Everett they change actors? Um God, Andrew.
Andrew They ran out of paycheck for it. I had to bring on someone new.
Everett Phenomenal. A really excellent movie.
Everett And if you're if you're the type of person that's
Everett like, I hate scary movies, maybe not for you, but for anybody else, even if you're like, scary movies aren't my favorite, but I enjoy them when they're good, just watch this. Unless you're the type of person that's like, I hate scary movies, maybe don't watch it. But for everybody else, this at your earliest opportunity, watch
Everett this movie. It is so fucking good.
Everett Like I I will say, Andrew, maybe one of the best movies I've seen in the last three years, four years.
Everett Uh it I left the theater and
Everett I was like, wow, wow. That was you, you know, the last time I felt that way was
Everett everything all the time. Yeah,
Andrew everything everywhere, all at once, or whatever. Yes,
Everett correct. The last time that I left a theater feeling that way was that movie.
Andrew Huh. Okay. Yeah. And
Everett it's not at at all the same type of money.
Andrew No, they're they're they're totally uh
Everett uh but substitutes. I left and I was like, holy cow. Uh you know, I don't know if it's in the Oscar discussions I ' doncause't follow that kind of thing, but for
Everett m for me, I'm like, give it all the awards because it was
Everett remarkable. It set the
Andrew record for the highest uh price for a film ever sold at TIF for distribution rights.
Everett What how much did it how much somewhere between
Andrew 14 and 15 million. Oh.
Everett Oh wow. Okay. So they knew that they had a winner on their hands, obviously, at that point.
Andrew It's it's the tenth grossest or highest grossing film of the year.
Everett And we're halfway through the year. So like maybe
Andrew it'll you know, we we have summer blockbusters, maybe it'll push it'll probably stay in the top twenty five.
Everett Well I think it's still in a theater run at this point. So I don't even think you can I don't even think you can stream this yet. I mean well you probably can't, but I don't think you can
Andrew that's the kind of movie that you you should you should pay your dollars for.
Everett Yeah. Well and and I don't you know I'm not like oh support you know or I don't have any feel of those feelings but um I like
Everett to see movies. I just love the theater.
Everett I I'm a I maybe old school that way, but
Everett I just if there's a movie worth seeing
Everett and I have the opportunity, I prefer to watch it in the theater.
Andrew I always whenever I go to Regal, I always think about getting that movie passed, but there's not there's so rarely something in the theater that I actually care to go see.
Everett Yeah. You know, any given
Everett Friday, if you say, hey, I would like to go see a movie,
Everett I could probably find something that I was interested in. Okay.
Everett Yeah. I heard Masters of the Universe is
Everett good. Oh I would love to see that. You know,
Everett they made that Masters of the Universe movie
Everett back in the late 80s. Yeah. With Dolph Lundgren.
Andrew Yeah, and it was so different than the
Everett source material. I remember even as
Everett a kid, I was like, Man, why'd you do this dirty like this? Uh but Dolph, this one is like this is the so I mean from what I can tell just at least aesthetically this is the source material I was like well that's cool I and I wonder you know is this create a new generation of he-Man kids I don?'t think it does.
Andrew No, I don't think it does. But I don't think we see another He-Man movie or like a He-Man franchise. Yeah. Born out of this, right? It's not like when spy the first Spider-Man came out and then it fizzled and they're like, Oh, let's try it again. And then it fizzled. They're like, Let's do another one. And then it took off, right? Like it it's not gonna be one of those superhero franchises that no you're probably like about that. Six movies.
Everett Well, I would love to see that in the theater too. That's
Everett in fact that seems like a theater type of movie. So that
Andrew does seem one that's better in the theaters.
Everett Andrew, we have done uh we
Everett are nearly an hour, which I think is fairly rare for us.
Andrew Record-breaking short episode. Um is
Everett there anything you want to add while we're at this terrific juncture
Andrew of time? I don't think so. I think we've done it.
