High on Hollywood

In this episode, Austin and Clint take on The Avengers in their review of What If? Episode 3.

Austin and Clint uncover a conspiracy involving a Dairy Queen and bursts of Celestial energy. When they arrive, Kurt Russell invites them to sit at a booth where a mic and computer are waiting for them to record - along with an assortment of marijuana and related paraphernalia. They strike up a conversation about episode 2 of Marvel's "What If?".

Hilarity ensues.

"Woah."

Austin and Clint are ejected from the Matrix after they watch Clint's cat, Mittens, glitch through a wall.

Despite having accidentally stumbled upon the truth of existence, Clint and Austin still eke out a little time to record a new episode of High on Hollywood before an impending onslaught of machines.

Hilarity ensues.

With the MCU's Multiverse officially cracked open, Austin and Clint take a dive into Marvel's next Disney+ effort, "What If?".

In honour of the 25th Anniversary of the franchise, Austin and Clint sit down to watch and discuss the film that simultaneously blew kids’ minds and traumatized them in 1986 - Transformers: The Movie.

No, not Transformers (2007) with Shia, Megan Fox, and a paycheque for Hugo Weaving.

We’re talking OG, G1 era crazy, zany, comic book-y action paired with hard rock and Weird Al, with Orson Welles (in his final film role) and Leonard Nimoy to lend the film some real gravitas.

Of course, who could forget Judd Nelson’s inspiring turn as Hot Rod?! What a performance (no sarcasm here)!

Trust me, you’re not going to want to miss this one.

Come on and get a little High on Hollywood, cause these Autobots are rolling out!

“Till All Are One!”

After barely escaping the cataclysmic beginning of the multiversal war unfolding around us, Clint and Austin decide to take a load off and catch a new action flick.

Their choice?

Navot Papushado's "Gunpowder Milkshake" (2021) - a crazy genre film that pays homage to the endless wave of action-assassin films before it - all while attempting to carve out it's own quirky, over-the-top identity that *mostly* sticks.

Sometimes it's nice to set down the existential dread and just get High on Hollywood. So what are you waiting for?!

The “man behind the curtain” is revealed.

Klein Fleury and Anton Shambles realize that the error of their ways.

Austin and Clint regain control of the show but things have changed - maybe, forever... the only way forward is ironically found at the end of time itself. Sounds like a good place to get High on Hollywood.

Klein (previously spelt "Cline") has Austin brainwashed into believing he is Clint. A mysterious force begins to reveal itself, pulling the strings of a far more sinister conspiracy.

Has the multiverse finally begun to crack open or are we just really high… on Hollywood?

One thing is certain: Klein and Austin cannot agree on this episode whatsoever.

Mobius' mustache finally grows on Austin... literally, and it won't come off for some reason.

Clint suspects this mustachioed Austin could, in fact, be a Variant and calls the TVA to investigate (despite the fact that Austin willingly helped conceal Clint's Variant, Cline).

Much to Clint's shock, however, HE is the Variant. A fight ensues.

The result? A multiverse-wide Nexus Event.

Clint and Cline escape. Austin is left to wonder if he'll ever shave again. Loki discovers himself.

We're High................. oh, On Hollywood.

While Clint and I continue our review of Marvel's LOKI (2021), we also diverge into some speculation about what the future holds for the MCU and it's exploration or reinterpretation of characters we've seen before (i.e. the X-Men).

Also, Clint bumps into his Variant, named Cline, and the two of them hitting it off sets in motion a chain of multiversal destruction hitherto unseen or dreamt of.

We're gonna need all the luck we can get.

Welcome to High on Hollywood!
