new website has entered the
already crowded online gambling

maelstrom, designed to separate you
from that pesky loose change in your

00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:36,857
such as the possibility
that someone

anyone in history,
will invent baseball.

remembered for his work
writing young adult novels,

37
00:01:49,867 --> 00:01:53,732
the Great Lakes will be created by
pirates digging for buried treasure,

38
00:01:53,733 --> 00:01:58,800
and the idea of the wheel will
never catch on. It sounds perfectly

39
00:01:58,801 --> 00:02:02,903
preposterous, undoubtedly
meaning it will be a huge success.

Part One: Supergirl!

58
00:02:54,238 --> 00:02:57,758
Sponsored by Smelz-a-Lot hand soap,

59
00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:02,060
Look for it in the new easier
to handle fireproof wrapper.

60
00:03:02,061 --> 00:03:07,119
Supergirl? Hillcrest. I doubt
you even know who Supergirl is.

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,833
Wait, do you mean
she has a secret identity?

62
00:03:10,834 --> 00:03:15,323
I mean that...Who is she?
Taylor Swift? Beyoncé?

63
00:03:15,324 --> 00:03:19,747
Angela Merkel?! Hillcrest!
No, she's not me, Buzz.

64
00:03:19,748 --> 00:03:23,148
But I've been examiningly
studying the trailer for

65
00:03:23,149 --> 00:03:27,119
this movie a lot to figure out
what Supergirl's deal is.

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,903
You do realize you could have
simply gone to the movie.

67
00:03:30,904 --> 00:03:35,903
I love it, but it's difficultly hard
to do research in the theater, Buzz.

68
00:03:35,904 --> 00:03:38,960
They keep telling me to put
away my laptop.

69
00:03:38,961 --> 00:03:41,060
And don't even get me
started on the look I get

70
00:03:41,061 --> 00:03:44,554
get when I ask the usher
for the Wi-Fi password.

71
00:03:44,555 --> 00:03:48,237
According to the trailers,
Supergirl drinks.

72
00:03:48,238 --> 00:03:51,149
A lot. A. Lot.

73
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:53,287
In fact, I'm hunchingly
guessing she

74
00:03:53,288 --> 00:03:57,479
even has one of those trendy
celebrity spirit drink labels.

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,012
Like walking corporations
Ryan Reynolds,

76
00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:02,295
And Dwayne *On the Rocks* Johnson.

77
00:04:02,296 --> 00:04:06,010
Maybe Supergirl's brand is House
of Zor-El's Infidel.

78
00:04:06,011 --> 00:04:08,220
Or Kryptonite Cognac.

79
00:04:08,221 --> 00:04:11,584
Would you buyingly purchase
her Red Sun Moonshine, Buzz?

80
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:15,104
I think someone has turned
off your subtitles, Hillcrest.

81
00:04:15,105 --> 00:04:17,141
I have no idea
what you're saying.

82
00:04:17,142 --> 00:04:21,778
You're correctly right. I'm not
even sure space drinks have alcohol.

83
00:04:21,779 --> 00:04:24,974
Some of the bottles in the
movie trailer are orange.

84
00:04:24,975 --> 00:04:26,997
So they could be full of Tang.

85
00:04:26,998 --> 00:04:30,187
The point, Hillcrest. What does
all that have to do with why

86
00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:34,089
Why Supergirl drinks so much?
I'm glad you asked.

87
00:04:34,090 --> 00:04:37,559
I specifically did not.
In fact, I want to

88
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,598
It looks like she's reached
peak crisis TJ Maxxing

89
00:04:40,599 --> 00:04:43,203
with a shopping cart
full of problems.

90
00:04:43,204 --> 00:04:44,639
Beginningly first

91
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,302
Supergirl's planet blows up.
I'll admit that's bad.

92
00:04:48,303 --> 00:04:52,085
But I think people in movies have to
start expecting that to happen.

93
00:04:52,086 --> 00:04:55,336
If you see a wide long shot
of your planet

94
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,926
It's pretty much doomed.

95
00:04:56,927 --> 00:05:00,557
Then, spacely intergalactic
bad guys do something

96
00:05:00,558 --> 00:05:02,755
hat hurts Supergirl's dog.

97
00:05:02,756 --> 00:05:06,049
Ooh, which means she's
probably on the edge of going

98
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:08,760
totally John Wick
on their asteroid.

99
00:05:08,761 --> 00:05:12,614
By the way, Buzz, her K-ninely
dog's name is Krypto.

100
00:05:12,615 --> 00:05:14,686
After her planet, Krypton.

101
00:05:14,687 --> 00:05:17,518
But that's kind of like me
naming my dog Eart.

102
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:21,243
Which would be bizarro.
Because I don't have a dog.

103
00:05:21,244 --> 00:05:24,639
I think the animal shelter
across town is still open.

104
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,598
If you leave now, you might
be able to get

105
00:05:26,599 --> 00:05:30,563
But the giantly big thing that's
really bumming Supergirl out

106
00:05:30,564 --> 00:05:33,709
is her cousin,
last Summer's Superman.

107
00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:35,762
He thought it would be fun
to have them wearing

108
00:05:35,763 --> 00:05:38,004
matching red and blue outfits.

109
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:40,809
Which honestly comes off
as super creepy.

110
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:43,350
Especially because that means
they both have

111
00:05:43,351 --> 00:05:45,844
giant scarlet letters on their chest.

112
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:48,913
Just like in that book
*The Scarlet Johansson*.

113
00:05:48,914 --> 00:05:52,036
Can we please cut his microphone?

114
00:05:52,037 --> 00:05:54,114
In the movie, Supergirl teams up with

115
00:05:54,115 --> 00:05:56,883
Jason Momoa's
skid-row version of Aquaman

116
00:05:56,884 --> 00:06:00,627
to fight a bunch of barfly extras
from the Mad Max movies.

117
00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:03,840
It's kind of like
*Roadhouse* meets *Borderlands*.

118
00:06:03,841 --> 00:06:06,849
No, I'm kidding.
No one ever liked *Borderlands*.

119
00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:09,483
Supergirl's also
friendingly paling around

120
00:06:09,484 --> 00:06:11,362
with a character named Ruthye

121
00:06:11,363 --> 00:06:12,397
Marye

122
00:06:12,398 --> 00:06:14,324
Knoll...e.

123
00:06:14,325 --> 00:06:15,759
And the weird thing is

124
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,247
Supergirl - Milly Alcock -
doesn't get to use her

125
00:06:19,248 --> 00:06:23,660
Quigly Australian accent while the
actress who plays Ruthye is all

126
00:06:23,661 --> 00:06:27,643
Blimey, the Brigands up and
fish and chip to my parents.

127
00:06:27,644 --> 00:06:28,738
Tea.

128
00:06:28,739 --> 00:06:29,820
Scones.

129
00:06:29,821 --> 00:06:33,243
This reporter finds himself hoping
for a long series

130
00:06:33,244 --> 00:06:37,069
of commercials full of
medical interaction disclaimers.

131
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:39,938
But buzz. I'm about to get
to the best part.

132
00:06:39,939 --> 00:06:42,818
Might that be the end?

133
00:06:42,819 --> 00:06:43,990
Exactly.

134
00:06:43,991 --> 00:06:48,487
because this movie solutionly
answers some really big questions.

135
00:06:48,488 --> 00:06:51,840
Someone says the bad guy Brigands
have been causing trouble

136
00:06:51,841 --> 00:06:54,398
in every corner of the universe.

137
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:58,191
Which means we now know
the universe has corners.

138
00:06:58,192 --> 00:07:00,612
Like a box of Lucky Charms!

139
00:07:00,613 --> 00:07:04,901
I decided to call Neil DeGrasse
Tyson to tell him the news.

140
00:07:04,902 --> 00:07:07,186
What, pray-tell, did he say?

141
00:07:07,187 --> 00:07:10,378
Danny, I thought I blocked your number.

142
00:07:10,379 --> 00:07:13,018
And no I don't care what
shape it is.

143
00:07:13,019 --> 00:07:17,416
You can't just go and travel all
over the entire universe.

144
00:07:17,417 --> 00:07:19,348
So let's think about this.

145
00:07:19,349 --> 00:07:24,039
The universe is at least 23
trillion miles in diameter, okay?

146
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,579
With billions of galaxies.

147
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,738
Nobody's going to be zipping
around that whole thing

148
00:07:28,739 --> 00:07:30,559
like they're going out
to get a pizza.

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,677
All right?

150
00:07:31,678 --> 00:07:34,164
Now, I'm going to hang up

00:07:34,165 --> 00:07:36,361
