Speaker 1 (00:00):
Peter a switch to in this economy, chick jockey? Will
that super dog make the movie a super slog? More
cliff booth, trailer trash.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All of that and so much more. But first, news Damp,
credit to me for not writing chicken jockey, which is
what the thing is for Minecraft that everyone's going nuts over.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's a thing chicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You've been seen on the social media. People are going
nuts over Jack Black going chicken jockey, and then everyone's
throwing their food and their sodas and going on each
other's shoulders and shit.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh oh, I get the jockey part of it now,
all right, So like when you play chicken in the pool,
that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, No, in the movie. Fights fights in the movie,
there is this chicken, yeah, and it's about to wrestle
with Jason Momoa, and then they drop this little thing
and this little green guy plops down and sits on
the chicken, and then Jack Black goes, ah, chicken jockey.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, I don't care for it, and.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Then everyone loses their mind.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I don't care for it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
By the way, yes, we're we're I don't know, maybe
a minute into this news dump episode here and you
have not commented on the new studio in which I
am broadcasting from.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So this is a working progress, a work in progress.
Mac has made the move. He is now in a
new studio. Mac will decide on what the name of
that studio is soon.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was thinking, yes, you know, you have the Gudeo.
Mine should be the judio, you know. But and also
I'm in Newton, so double on Paldro there, double on Palm.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
All right, Well leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I come and gee, you live from the judio.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Maybe we write that one in pencil and then we
come back to it later.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
All right, I'll be taking suggestions from the listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So Mac is in his new place. He's wearing green
for the first time ever on the show.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, real live background.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So a little peak behind the curtain here, a little
what makes the magic work on the Macigoop program.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I hope everyone's ready to have their minds blown.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Some people have asked me this before and it didn't
blow their minds. The prior background was my bedroom at
some point, and I'd set up those funkos and what
not to take a nice background, and then I just
took that picture and then green screened that background. Behind
me for I don't know, three hundred episodes, but that
was never actually behind me that it was somewhat similar
(02:22):
behind me, but not as well kept. So here I
am with a with a live background. You know I
can touch it.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Mac's a regular Wizard of Oz right now, pay no
attention to the man behind.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
The dynamic background.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
What are we doing? What is the topic here? Oh? Mac,
it's a big movie theater news that has come out
over the past couple of days. Shall we get to that?
To lower my chair? I don't like how high I am.
Mac regal Ceo on suggestions that they might start allowing
texting auditoriums slash people smoking weed at the theaters.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Does that mean they're going to allow people taking their
phones out? Is that what texting auditoriums are right?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because the issue there is that people could then take
a video of the movie and send out the whole
movie bootleg.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The theater is so dark that when someone busts out
their cell phone, doesn't matter where you're sitting, people can
see you on your phone. So I don't want that
happening at all. That's how it's a specific theater though.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's like in anything goes theater where you can throw
sodas if you want, You can text if you want.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Okay, now we're talking.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You can sing along to a movie if you want.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So what they're saying is they're baking that into the price.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know. So they're just taking suggestions because they're
trying to get more people in the theater.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So smoking weed in the theater, like you better have
a really good ventilation system.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because you want to hot box the theater.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, I'm okay with trying new things, but please
make it explicit, Like if you're testing texting auditoriums, please
let me know before buy that fucking ticket, and also
make those people pay more, right, let the people that
don't want that pay my fucking let me get like
a six dollars Tuesday thing in there.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, I wouldn't let pee Wee Herman know about
the Anything Ghost Theater. It's an old reference.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
RP.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, he said, Uh, I'm not saying we're never gonna
test it. We should test.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Everything, okay, Okay, Yeah, I don't know. Would you would
you like to go to a theater with people on
their phones?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I personally wouldn't, but I understand if you're trying to
get a younger audience in there that might be more
attached to their phone than say you or I. I
guess they're trying to survive right now. Man, they're in
survival mode.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, I guess I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Paramount also had some advice for movie theaters. This is
via E r C Box Office. All right, sure, limit trailers,
no as mattine pricing until six pm, and then discounted
tickets on multiple weekdays.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I mean that's that's the way to do it.
That's how you're gonna get people in there. Because number one,
I forget which theater does it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's only one of the change actually tells you the
movie start time and not the trailers.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Give me the time. Yeah, yeah, that's all I want.
Number one.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Actually, what I've realized recently, the Majestic Theater in Watertown
tells you the movie ending time, so you know when
you're getting out of.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
There as well. So I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, switch it up a little bit, make it fun,
make make like, I don't know, dude, fucking goose days, right,
and you know a lot of people do six dollars
Tuesdays or eight dollar Tuesdays or whatever. Like do more
stuff like that, and then like, once people are in
the door a couple two tree times, that's gonna be
their preferred method to see a movie. The problem is,
because of streaming and access at home and because of COVID,
(05:51):
there's a whole five or six year like grouping of
young people that never really got to fall in love
with the theater.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And you have to aim at that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, and if you were to do this so like
I understood why you used to need to put the
movie trailers at the start of the movies because you
were trying to, hey, come back to the movie theater
for this. But we now have access to all of
these trailers as soon as they drop on social media.
We don't really need to physically be sitting in a
(06:23):
theater to see these anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yes, very very true, So get.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Those out of my face. And then finally, amc CEO
Adam Aaron said that three major studios have agreed that
they need to bring back the forty five day theatrical window.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, that's another one. On both ends of it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Some movies are in the theater for too long and
then it doesn't get to streaming for eight months.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Some only do two or three week runs, and.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That's a little disappointing sometimes too, Like you look at it,
especially it happens more towards the end of the year.
It happened with Sing Sing last year, to really short
theatrical run, like they're in the theater for two three
weeks before it really even gets a chance to buzz.
Like how many people saw Anora in the theaters? Not many,
you know what I mean. So if you're in the
theaters for two three weeks and that buzz picks up,
you get that extra couple weeks week window for people
(07:12):
to go and see the movie.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I mean also look at movies like Fall Guy
and Mickey seventeen that two weeks into their theatrical run,
they were already available to buy on digital.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, that's part of it too.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Which like that you could say, well, they're gonna try
and make their money that way, but by allowing people
to think that they can see a movie that's in
theaters within three weeks, they're gonna say, I'll just wait
for that. I'm not gonna go to the theaters.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We just argued both sides of it there, So there
you go. I'd be perfectly fine with that forty five.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Day news dope. Oh we got a little, not a little.
It's a very long thing. But Nintendo was teasing the
switch to and first glance costs a bit of money
four hundred and fifty dollars with physical games ninety dollars,
digital games eighty dollars. But if you bund the new
(08:00):
Mario Kart game with your switch to only fifty, so
five hundred for the two.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, this has gotta be one of the worst video
game rollouts ever. I'm trying to think back, like the
first couple systems post we for Nintendo didn't do well.
PS three didn't do all that well on rollout. But
I'm thinking like, it's super expensive. It's more than than
a PlayStation four.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, hold up, so it's not that expensive compared to
pass Nintendo systems with inflation. So the original Nintendo entertainment
system that came out, where are we?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, no, no, don't give me that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Back in nineteen eighty five, back in nineteen eighty five,
I don't care about shut that back up. The Nintendo
cost two hundred dollars. Do you know what that is
with inflation? Five hundred five eighty four? Do you know
how much eggs cost five hundred and eighty four dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Switch one was two ninety nine on launched, So now
you're trying to justify one to fifty more to me,
and it doesn't. It didn't really improve anything switch to.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Also that Switch one on launch was two ninety.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Nine, I just fucking said that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I thought you had something with inflation. It's three ninety
one though, so it's.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
More expensive than the Launch system. It is essentially the
same system. You also now have up the game prices
to and it's ninety dollars for a physical coffee eighty
digital And if you have a game on Switch one
that you would like to plan switch to, you have
to pay to upgrade the game twenty or thirty bucks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So that's fucking bullshit as well. There's just aren't any
real new features either.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's no incentive to get a switch to if you
already have a switch. And this is why it's reminding
me sort of like the WIU rollout. Nintendo Wii was awesome,
groundbreaking system, great system to play with friends. They rolled
out the Wiu and everyone was like, I don't really
see the need to get that, And that's what this
is reminding me of and on top of this all, now,
Nintendo's never been known for their graphics. But if you're
(10:03):
the most expensive gaming system on the market and you
have PlayStation three graphics that date back to what two
thousand and eight, I can't I just can't get behind it.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They also mentioned tariffs are not factored into their price
right now.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, there you go. So give it another six months
and it'll be up another two of them.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, mac, let me ask you this. This is rapid fire.
Don't think too much about it. How much did a
game Boy cost upon release? Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I bet it was like six hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Coust ninety dollars? Oh really, who are you the fucking blutes?
How much is the banana cost?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh? What's ninety? Now? Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, all right, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Thinking back then, yes, so thank you. How much did
a Super Nintendo cost in nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Uh, let's say.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
One two hundred dollars? Okay, with inflation more than the
switch to Let's see here, let's look at the Sega Dreamcast,
not Dreamcast, the Second Genesis.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh, I'm gonna say two to fifty.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
One hundred and ninety dollars. But that was back in
nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Though, Okay, okay, how about.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The three D zero Interactive multiplayer that came out in
nineteen ninety three, a system that you know, well.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know it at all. Uh, it's probably trying
to undercut those companies. So I'm gonna say one to
fifty you have.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gone the wrong way. The three D zero Interactive Multiplayer
back in nineteen ninety three costs seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What this is? Why I've never heard of it because
no one ever owned it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's made by Panasonic.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
That's a company name. I haven't heard it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
But I kind of respect that, Like you're going out
to being like we are that much better than the
other systems. We're gonna charge you this much. How about
the Virtual Boy back in nineteen ninety five, lot of
red lines one and eighty not bad? Okay, The Nintendo
sixty four back in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That strikes me as a one ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
One ninety nine right on the many that love that.
Let's do a couple more. I don't want to get
too deep in this, but the PlayStation Portable one of
our favorite systems. The PSP.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
The PSP was innovative. It didn't do that well, but
it was a great idea. I bet it was expensive. Man,
I'm gonna say two ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Two fifty. Okay, all right, two fifty, and then let's
choose one more. Let's see what else was super expensive
at it. How about the Neogo back in nineteen ninety
made by SNK ten six hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Okay, here's a rule of thumb. If you haven't heard
of it. It was too expensive, No one bought it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It was dumb.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Let's go over to the box office. From this past weekend,
coming in in fourth place, snow White made almost six
million dollars. It is at seventy seven domestic, one hundred
and sixty eight worldwide. At number two is Working Man
almost seven and a half domestic, and at number one,
having already achieved the highest grossing movie ever, making seven
(13:02):
and a half billion dollars. Minecraft, a Minecraft movie you've
already talked about having. You haven't seen any of these
clips of people losing their minds in the theaters. Everyone
is in the theaters quoting the movie as it's going.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I mean, I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Stunned that it actually it's getting okay reviews too, because
knowing what it's gonna be, I'm stunned it's actually doing
this well. I knew it would do well. This well
is a little surprising.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So my big questions to you are so good drafted
this in the movie draft.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
You got your sixty points, right, But.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Why don't I get more points? Because it's the best
movie of all time?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's a great question. It's a great question. There's no
question for next February.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I brought this up last episode. I actually listened to it.
I listened to our movie draft, and I even brought
up I'm like, so what if they achieve certain box
office goals beyond one billion dollars, can you get bonus points?
And you shook your head and said, well, there's fifteen
movies a year that make one hundred and fifty million,
so I think we have it covered.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, it's like they made that amount in one week.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Like, if you're how many wins do you need? You
know you only need ninety to get into the postseason.
What does one fifteen do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I took that Key Hu Kwon movie that got.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Me zero points.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I need as many points as possible on this fucker.
A lot of people are pointing out that, you know,
like this isn't a real movie, and uh, how dare
how dare the youth go and spend their money on
something like this? I think what this tells us is
that the youth don't want real movies, and that's okay.
(14:47):
Sometimes you can put something in the theater that's just
gobbledegook and ideas thrown together that don't necessarily make sense.
But if it's stuff that kids meme and jiff about,
they'll go and see.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And it's also like for me, I think I fell
in love with like storytelling and really more in depth stuff.
Harry Potter was a good introduction to that. And so
this movie is targeted at an age group that doesn't
really care about storytelling and that you know, you get
to those pre teens teenage years and that's when you
really get into storytelling and depth and emotions, you know,
(15:22):
And if you're aiming to make a bunch of money
from a movie aimed at eight year olds, you don't
need any of.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That, right, And it's also aimed at people that are
on social media and are trying to go viral for
stupid theater shit. So you have a lot of people
that are going to the theater just to record themselves
at this movie be a part of the zeitgeist, which
is also fine. I didn't love this movie, but you
need movies like this to make money for studios to
(15:50):
then make other movies.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, it's I don't know. I'm not upset that Minecraft
movie is doing well.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm not mad. I've seen people that are mad and
they're like, you should have more respect for your children
then bringing him to this slop. I got my kid
to sit still for ninety minutes each shit exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm not mad that Minecraft movie is doing well. But
this is sort of what I was talking about with
that forty five day thing. I wish like I just
had a friend three days ago that watched Anora and
he's sort of live texting me during it. He was like,
this movie's amazing. I just wish those types of movies
got better exposure while they were in the theaters.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I would really I might enjoy the fact, say, if
this is the highest grossing movie of all time, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Uh you know what they I didn't see Lego could
do it because they have all the licenses to all
the ips. Right, Yeah, the Legos need to just do
an Avengers movie.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
La La la lava chick in Seease My Chicken. Also, yeah,
if you have Jack Black in your movie, don't even
have him write a song. Just say to him, hey,
can you sing something? And just see what comes out
of his mouth? Right right, because those are the ones like,
we're pretty sure you and I having no knowledge of this,
(17:05):
that he must have written Peaches in thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No doubt. He just kept saying peaches.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He must have written his dumb lava chicken song in
less time.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
By the way, Yes, I would just like to point
out because a dona, I mean, when we're talking about
the judio here, I haven't set up my background yet.
These are boxes still packed with stuff behind me. So
don't you fret folks at home wondering about my background?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Congratulations, who's dumb? James Gunn released a clip a sneak
peek at his Superman movie, the one that he showed
at Comic Con. Lots of Crypto the Dog saving Superman,
bringing him to the Fortress of Solitude, where he is
attended to by numbered automatons.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be campy enough to
capture some of the like Reeves, magic and what Superman
is in the colic books too, So I think I
think James gun is gonna fucking nail this. And the
couple people that I follow on Twitter that are big
Superman guys loved this extended look at it, So I
(18:08):
think that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's gonna be super comic bookie. That's what it's gonna be.
It's gonna be lots of comic book stuff. And I've
also seen that it's a you know, Superman takes Cryptos
like you know, he's using him to kind of get
used to Earth and taking care of him, when in
fact Crypto is the one taking care of him. Oh,
it's like most dogs, I.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Suppose, usually beneficial relationship.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Not one of those one of those insects that'll live
on a rhino or a bird that'll live on an
elephant parasitic relationship. Yes, news Dope. Peacemaker season two officially
premiers on August twenty first on Max.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I didn't love season one as much as a lot
of people seemed to.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It had high highs for sure. It's a great character
I'm hoping we get it. I hope it's a little
more relevant in the universe's time I'm around. They also
have some splaining to do about season one because it
was involved in the prior DCU. Now it's still in
this one, so I don't know. I will obviously watch
it and enjoy it. I'm just hoping it's a little
better than.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Sor Oh we forgot to put this on the Dog,
but starting up this weekend on The Max and Who's
done Last of Us? Season two.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I'm so excited for this, and it made me even
more excited because IGN released our season two score seven.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Hell yeah, seven, so you know it's gonna be a
ten out of ten.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
This comes hot off the heels of White Lotus wrapping
up their season and everyone going bananas over Harper. Now,
we get it. You like when white ladies talk funny.
You like your Jennifer coolidgees.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You like your Parker Posey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Parker Well, Parker Posey is just doing a shit what's
the Catherine O'Hara from Shit's Creek? We get it. You
like when people say things funny, So everyone's gonna lose
their mind.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I know about twenty five people watching White Lotus seasons
in three. It's first of all, it's incredible. It's incredible
how popular the show is. I don't know if anyone's
actually enjoyed season three.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I dipped out with two episodes left. I think it's
because we were recording our SNL episode with Dork go
check that out. And my wife watched the episode without me,
and I'm like, you know what, I think, I'm done.
I don't need to watch it by myself. I'm good.
And then what I had her do is after she
finished the finale, she recapped it to me. Yep, oh boy,
(20:31):
she got so mad at me with my follow up questions.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh so she's in on season three?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Then no, she hated it.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Oh okay, okay, it's like, oh.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that white guy went and did this to this
other old white guy. And I'm like, do you mean
Greg And she's like, not fucking Greg and Michael. Greg's
an old white guy.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It is tough.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I'm usually really bad with character names unless we're reviewing
something and I go through the IMDb. You just described
the person as like, oh, so and so sister or
the mom.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I would say Walton Goggins. It Schwarzenegger's son. Yeah, something
like that Teethy magoo. Right, have you seen hers get
big old teeth on the show.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't know who that.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Is news dump. Fantastic Four director Matt Shackman said that
there are no other superheroes in their universe. This is
via Empire Magazine. There's no Easter eggs, there's no running
into Iron Man or whatever they're It's yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I mean, even if you think about our main timeline
in the NCU, right, if it was in the sixties,
there would have been Captain America on ice.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
There would have been.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Who's the black Captain America that we saw in the series,
the older one.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think that's his name and they activated him as well.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
There would have been him around. There would have been
maybe Red Guardian. There would have been a couple, so,
I mean maybe Fantastic Four just don't know they're there.
But it's not like this isn't real news. There wasn't
anyone around in the sixties really anyways.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Also from a different universe, and they might get sucked
into the other one.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's exactly what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He also mentioned that he described it as a sixties
space race movie shot with miniatures, practical sets, and vintage lenses.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I love that shit. I hope it looks a little
grainy at times. I'm in on that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They wanted to make it the way that Stanley Kubrick
would have in nineteen sixty five. It's dope. Kevin Feigi
shared some new Avengers dooms Day details, saying the Avengers,
Wakandan's Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and original X Men are all
fighting Doctor Doom, which I think at some point it's
going to be Avengers verse x Men in there. And
(22:38):
he also said the entire cast has not been revealed yet.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, this is gonna be interesting. I wonder if the
beginning is Avengers versus X Men, if Doom sort of
pits them against each other and two and then maybe
they'll You'll knighte unite by the end. We don't fully
know one hundred percent with the second Avengers movie is
going to be all about the following year, and I'm
(23:02):
not sure they do either, so it'll be interesting how
this plays out. I am really looking forward to having
all these characters on the screen, but we are entering
into territory now where the Russo brothers haven't made anything
good in a few years, and nothing has gotten though right,
and nothing has gotten close to Infinity War an endgame.
(23:23):
So we're gonna be at an impasse here soon. If that,
if this, like, if this movie doesn't nail it, I
might even jump out of the MCU, you know what
I mean. I've been dedicated the whole time, but We're
getting to the point where this movie is gonna have
to crush it.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And if you're putting all those older X Men in there,
Hugh Jackman has to be in there, Ryan Reynolds, I assume.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Honestly, I would prefer newer X Men, but I get
why they're.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Doing Fan k Janssen, halle Berry and if and if
you're bringing in those older X Men, you have to
find a way to bring Elizabeth Olsen back as Scarlet Witch.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
For sure. She's she will definitely pop up at some point.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Vincent Dianafrio. This is via Josh Herowitz. He said that
Kingpin cannot appear in MCU films. He is only usable
for television shows and that is just a part of
the rights and stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
So did he get tied up in the Sony stuff?
Is he one of the characters.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think no. I think it's just that certain uh,
they're owned by certain studios, like I think the Hulk is. Yeah,
so it isn't Sony though. I don't believe it's Sony
because he was used Kingpin was in the Daredevil movie
Universal because Kingpin was in the Daredevil movie that came
out No. Five and that was a Fox movie. But
(24:43):
maybe someone else owns the rights and they paid the
extra to have him in there.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm also okay because he is a street level person,
like he shouldn't have that much influence over a worldwide.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The issue though, is that if you only have him
in the TV shows, you can't put Spider Man in
your TV shows, And if you want him verus spider Man,
you gotta find that nice TV movie. Does that count
as movie?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, that's that's an interesting thing because he he can
cross over into a Spider Man thing, and I think
that's what makes Spider Man so great is you can
do street level stuff with Spider Man and you can
fight the strongest person in the universe and both are believable.
I think that's why Spider Man is like everyone's favorite superhero.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
You know, that would be funny is if Marvel told
him that. But they secretly just don't want him in
the movies. We're not allowed to have you what we
wanted to give you your own full length movie. But
you gotta hang out with Echo.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
And then if you do, we gotta address the whole
how your eye works again?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
After that series.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
News dump Mac, I have news. I don't know if
it's good.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Or terrible news.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I have news. I have terrible news. Cliff Booth is
coming back. They'll be shooting a follow up movie to
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that'll be on Netflix
from director David Fincher. This is not a sequel.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, it's clearly gonna be about the before times and
that whole story based around whether.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No I believe they said it to me? Set eight
years after Really, yeah, that's what I wrote.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Maybe he's like a star that So it is a sequel.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Then it's not a sequel, it it literally is. It's
not a sequel to that movie. It's a follow up
with that character. So it's more a spinoff and off.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, but Cliff Booth is a central character to that movie.
The final events takes place in his.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Say, and it is being written by Quentin Tarantino, but
I am curious how much he's working on the script
and it's not just stuff being taken from the book
that was the follow up to the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, sorry, it didn't the final scene didn't take place
in his own but he was in there. He's the
most fantastic part of that final scene. I've stoked about
this because when we came away from that movie review,
we both loved the movie. Instantly we said, this is
almost hurt by the fact that Cliff Booth is the
coolest character in the movie by a mile, and there's
almost not enough of them. So now we're getting our
(27:01):
enough part. We're gonna get a whole Cliff Booth movie.
And that makes me so excited.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I've already said this on the podcast. I believe that
Cliff Booth, slash Brad Pitt's portrayal of the character, how
Quentin Tarantino wrote it directed, that might be one of
the coolest characters. If we did a cool character list
from this decade or from the past twenty five years,
Booth might be number one.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think rapic characters would be on there.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They might just be all Brad pet easy.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You'd have Troy you'd have fight Club. That's three right there,
Probably one of his Oceans performances you could put on there.
He's just cool. He's the fucking man.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
When he appeared on Dave.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, sounds fantastic.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But this is so. It has been rumored that Pitt,
So this will take place in the seventies and follow
a film critic who wrote for a porno magazine.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So what year did sixties? It was sixties? Okah, all right, yeah,
I'm into this.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'd watch a whole movie a day in the life
of Cliff Booth.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I'm tepid.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You're tid the character so much.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't know how much I want more of him,
Like he's perfect as is.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
And also he might have gained some notoriety after the
events of the last movie too, you.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Know, like what if he starts Jackass?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That could be a route I suppose I won't read I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Cliff Booth and welcome to Jackass. Brad Pitt was in
the movie Jackass.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Jackass the movie? Or is in the movie Jackass?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He is Jackass the movie. Isn't that the same thing?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, I thought you were trying to switch fuck me up.
There is there a movie named Jackass.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
No, he is in Jackass the movie. He is dressed
as a panda bear and he does a stunt with Knoxville.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Oh, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Give it a goog's give it a nice googs. While
I jumped to this next one, news Dumpe got our
big trailer for Mission Impossible, Final Reckoning. And the big
thing out of here is that Alan Trammel Tillman is
in this movie fresh off of Severance.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I just hope they crushed this. I have loved this
series of movies. I hope it really is a sendoff.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
For Cruise in this role. Where now what eight movies deep,
we've we were there. You know.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The last movie was a disappointment at the box office,
was still of the highest of high qualities. Maybe not
as good as the prior three movies, but still an
incredible action movie.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm really looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
These movies like just constantly try to outdo themselves, so
that's always great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well, we saw him on a plane. He was hanging
on to a wing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, I mean dangerous.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
News dope, have you pulled up that Brad Pitt panda yet?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
No, No, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You love googling stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Though.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
We got a trailer for or this is more of
a tease. Got a tease for Naked Gun. The Leslie
Nielsen Akiva Schaeffer directed Naked Gun. That looks like a
it's a sequel, it's a follow up to the other ones.
It is not a remake because we get that sweet
seen at the end where they're all looking at their
fathers and crying. That was actually pretty funny, and then
(30:05):
the one guy's like, I'm not gonna cry over OJ.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I mean, this movie's probably gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I just don't know what it is like money wise,
I have no idea what it's gonna make.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
News Doupe got a trailer for Wes Anderson the movie.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
It's just like I mean, I don't know how many
he can make, but he's just gonna keep doing m
until they tell him to stop. And I'm sure, you know,
critics will love it and audiences will be confused. The
Wes Anderson Experience.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The phonicition scheme, Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
That's how you pronounce it, right, Phoenician Phoenician.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Benizio del Toro, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Brian Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch.
I saw Michael Sarah in there. There's many many more names.
I saw this and I became that jiff where a
where like a bunny rabbit is working on a computer
and then suddenly falls asleep. That was me.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I have no need for these.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, you might like this. That's the thing. Wes Anderson movies.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
When you like him, you really love them, like you
fall in love with these types of movies. But sometimes
you're just like, we did it a little too much,
Like Asteroid City didn't hit for me. But on the
other end of the of the spectrum, Grand Budapest Hotel
one of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
May I suggest a chicken jockey, wo throw our SODA's
all over the fucking theaters news dumpe. Christopher Walking told
somebody he might have just been telling someone on the street.
I don't know where this is sourced, but he said
that Bugs Bunny is one of his favorite actors, and
(31:41):
he told Ben Stiller that a lot of times he's
played roles as if he was Bugs Bunny, but didn't
tell anyone.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That's incredible. That's incredible that Christopher Walkin has derived inspiration
from Bugs Bunny, the cartoon character, and has worked him
into multiple roles in his esteemed career. I don't think
we knew it was Bugs Bunny. We knew it was weird.
I don't think we knew it was bugs.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We knew it was Looney Tunes esque. Like him and
Nicholas Cage might have went to Acme University and learned
under Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
You might be right about that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It is dumb. Disney has put a pause on the
development of their live action Tangled remake. This comes after
snow White has flopped at the box office. This is
via the Hollywood Reporter. My only disappointment if this does
not get made because I think the pause button will
come off after Lelo and Stitch makes fucking Minecraft money.
(32:42):
Is that? What I want to see here is they
need to cast Mandy Moore as the evil mom.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Okay, all right, uh, I've never seen.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Missing you like hen Hey, oh baby, come to me,
show me who you are. Step to me.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You like sugar too much?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
All right, stop, don't think about it, tell me right now,
give me your mount rushmore of late nineties early aughts
female performers.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
You know, will of Ford, I want to be bad,
make my wish come true.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
She played Anna Nicole Smith in the Ana Nicole Smith biopic.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Okay, then give me your mount rushmore me.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah, of late nineties batties.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Late nineties. Well, they have to be pop singers, so
post spice girls, pop singers that were during the boy
band era.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, Brittany's obviously there.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He is the TRL era.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Britney, Christina automatically there. You know, maybe more, many more
A short run actually went to acting pretty quick, man.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm trying to think Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Jessica Simpson. You gotta put Simpson on there too. Is
that the four? Right there? We just did?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's that the four? I mean, you can't think of
anyone else. That's the issue. I'm sure that there were more.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, there had to have been more, and there's a
lot of copycats, but those are probably the four primary.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Builds, right, that might be it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I mean I'm probably forgetting someone, but like, if you're
talking straight pop, it probably was Simpson, Mandy Moore, Christina
and Brittany.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Let's not unturn this stone here. Seline Dion is not
really a female pop singer. Shania Twain did try and
become a female pop singer pop country. Well no, so
she was country, then she went heavy pop after that.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Well, no, she was both. She was always both.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
A Leah.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It's more R and B.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, no one else because Mariah Carey was more early nineties,
mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah she I mean, she was still around making music,
but you wouldn't describe her as like the late nineties
teen pop.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
No, she was all of the nineties.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Kylie Minogue.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Kylie Minogue had a couple bangers. That's not a bad
one she was. She was a little more dance electronica
though too.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Shakira was more like mid odds. Right.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I think Hips Don't Lie was two thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I want to say Nelly Furtado was there early two
thousands too.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Good job by US News, dupe. You forgot Macy Gray,
by the way, same.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I tried, I walk away and I stooped.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
She famously sang the song the theme song to as
told by Ginger.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yep, she did. She's also awesome in her Three Minutes
and Training Day.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
The graph is always greener on the other side of.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
The It's clear my world crumbles when you were not there?
All right?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Mac over on Disney Plus right now in honor of
its thirty year anniversary. I'm currently wearing a power Line
T shirt. The not a Goof documentary I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Not another goo?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
What did I say?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Not a goof?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
We said the same thing. Not another Goof? Is on
Disney Plus. The documentary giving you the story slash timetable
of how a goofy movie was made? Have you seen
it yet?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Nope? I have you? I have.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It is an hour and a half, so I would
say to shave about a half an hour off because
it's the same length as the movie.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah, okay, it's.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
A good timeline. It gets into the director, how he
worked on previous Disney movies and how he kind of
got fast tracked to be the director there. It's all
about Katzenberg and how he wanted to see if they
could make a low budget animated movie that wasn't as
big and like over the top as a Lion King Aladdin,
Beauty and the Beast, use a property that they already
(36:43):
have and go more with a low scale story. And
how so Katzenberg got fired or he left Disney just
before nineteen ninety five when a Goofy Movie was released,
so they no longer had the studio behind them, and
they kind of got a whimper of a release. They
(37:03):
kind of flopped at the box office, and when they
sold the VHS's for like The Lion King Pocahontas a
Goofy movie, a Goofy movie was the cheapest of the bunch.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
That makes sense. Yeah, So they.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Thought that they had made a movie that you know,
didn't have any traction, that they spent four years making
a movie that didn't that was not picked up by
the populace.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
But then ten years ago at D twenty three, they
had a twentieth anniversary Goofy Movie panel that was the
hottest thing going. It was the biggest panel at D
twenty three, and they realized, wait a second, people did
like this movie.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
It became like a cult classic, I say.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Then they started searching idiots like us online who were
doing TikTok videos, YouTube videos, YouTube reviews talking about this
movie and how much it meant to their childhood, and
they realized, you know what, we made something that touched
a lot of people's hearts.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yes, it's a good story, you know, how we just
talked about earlier with Minecraft that you don't you don't
need it to sell the.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Kids had it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Man speak to you as a father was memorable instantly. Yeah,
as a father, Goop formerly a son, I'm still a son.
I am now a father. You can look at it
through Max's point of view, you can look at it
through Goofy's point of view. And this might be the
movie because there was actually one part during this documentary
that I started to cry a little bit. It was
(38:28):
someone sent them a letter about how and I might
cry right now talking about this. A kid told the
story about how when a Goofy movie came out on VHS,
his parents had recently separated and watching movies was something
that he had done with his father. His mother got
him that movie and he just watched it on a
loop because he was able to, you know, get that
(38:48):
father son relationship through the movie.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's pretty cool. That's a cool story.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
It's a lot of that. It was a little I
don't want to say up its own ass, but it
was a little bit okay, But you understand why because
they have recently, in the past decade, realized how much
this movie has done for certain people.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Also, maybe the coolest part of the doc is when
they did the screen test using actual dancers for the
final scene of Goofy power line in Max on stage,
and you see how they put that dance number together.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Hm, so I would say check it out. I'm disappointed
that it's that it's ninety minutes. It's too long. Get
it to a clean hour.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I mean, I will watch it for sure.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
It's also cool to see how an animated movie comes
together and how it takes three to four years, how
working with the voice actors and everything else. Yeah. Well,
actually one of the things is so they outsource their
animation to France, and what he would have to do
is he would have to video record himself giving instructions
and he would be as big and vibrant as possible.
(39:54):
He will. He would then mail it to France. They
would then watch it two days later. That's crazy, crazy
now because everything's fucking zoom right, all right, all right,
news dumpe.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Gorse. Uh, what do you want to do for the
end of the week.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I want to watch a Goofy movie?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Uh? We could do that.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I was thinking maybe we reviewed Last of Us Season
one already, so we can't do that.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
I was thinking, I don't know something something in that realm.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Because I'm debating showing my kid a goofy movie this week,
So we might just fucking have to do that. Okay,
everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Yeah, I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
See I too. Ah.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I also haven't watched it in a very long time,
so I'd be cool with that.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
You can't speak as a father, but right you are
a son.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, I mean, who knows though the new setup I
might bring in the casting couch. You know, a lot
of opportunities ahead of me here.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
I'm in this new house, I'm in this new sexy room.
I don't know where it's gonna take me.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
The pigture I just sent you where the couch fits.
It's it's an oddly similar layout to certain videos you
have seen on the internet.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I hated his stretch marks so much, dude, it took
me out of so many scenes.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I really need, and it's been pretty good over the
past couple of years. I really need the male performer
to look just like me.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I get that you're gonna put yourself into the story.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
And I see a lot of people that do look
just like me, like, oh, he has a mustache and
a dumb haircut. Nice. I'm gonna watch all of his videos.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
There's a there's a famous bald h porn actor named Jamax,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Is there really yes?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Oh my god, you know who he is.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I'm not gonna googlet it work, not right now. I'm
also not going to open say if your father sends
me a link to it on Facebook, not opening that
at workout.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Don't all right?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Well, well maybe we'll do a goofy movie at the
end of the week.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
News Dope.
Peter a switch to in this economy, chick jockey? Will
that super dog make the movie a super slog? More
cliff booth, trailer trash.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All of that and so much more. But first, news Damp,
credit to me for not writing chicken jockey, which is
what the thing is for Minecraft that everyone's going nuts over.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's a thing chicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You've been seen on the social media. People are going
nuts over Jack Black going chicken jockey, and then everyone's
throwing their food and their sodas and going on each
other's shoulders and shit.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh oh, I get the jockey part of it now,
all right, So like when you play chicken in the pool,
that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, No, in the movie. Fights fights in the movie,
there is this chicken, yeah, and it's about to wrestle
with Jason Momoa, and then they drop this little thing
and this little green guy plops down and sits on
the chicken, and then Jack Black goes, ah, chicken jockey.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, I don't care for it, and.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Then everyone loses their mind.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I don't care for it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
By the way, yes, we're we're I don't know, maybe
a minute into this news dump episode here and you
have not commented on the new studio in which I
am broadcasting from.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So this is a working progress, a work in progress.
Mac has made the move. He is now in a
new studio. Mac will decide on what the name of
that studio is soon.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was thinking, yes, you know, you have the Gudeo.
Mine should be the judio, you know. But and also
I'm in Newton, so double on Paldro there, double on Palm.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
All right, Well leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I come and gee, you live from the judio.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Maybe we write that one in pencil and then we
come back to it later.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
All right, I'll be taking suggestions from the listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So Mac is in his new place. He's wearing green
for the first time ever on the show.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, real live background.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So a little peak behind the curtain here, a little
what makes the magic work on the Macigoop program.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I hope everyone's ready to have their minds blown.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Some people have asked me this before and it didn't
blow their minds. The prior background was my bedroom at
some point, and I'd set up those funkos and what
not to take a nice background, and then I just
took that picture and then green screened that background. Behind
me for I don't know, three hundred episodes, but that
was never actually behind me that it was somewhat similar
(02:22):
behind me, but not as well kept. So here I
am with a with a live background. You know I
can touch it.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Mac's a regular Wizard of Oz right now, pay no
attention to the man behind.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
The dynamic background.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
What are we doing? What is the topic here? Oh? Mac,
it's a big movie theater news that has come out
over the past couple of days. Shall we get to that?
To lower my chair? I don't like how high I am.
Mac regal Ceo on suggestions that they might start allowing
texting auditoriums slash people smoking weed at the theaters.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Does that mean they're going to allow people taking their
phones out? Is that what texting auditoriums are right?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because the issue there is that people could then take
a video of the movie and send out the whole
movie bootleg.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The theater is so dark that when someone busts out
their cell phone, doesn't matter where you're sitting, people can
see you on your phone. So I don't want that
happening at all. That's how it's a specific theater though.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's like in anything goes theater where you can throw
sodas if you want, You can text if you want.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Okay, now we're talking.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You can sing along to a movie if you want.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So what they're saying is they're baking that into the price.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know. So they're just taking suggestions because they're
trying to get more people in the theater.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So smoking weed in the theater, like you better have
a really good ventilation system.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because you want to hot box the theater.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, I'm okay with trying new things, but please
make it explicit, Like if you're testing texting auditoriums, please
let me know before buy that fucking ticket, and also
make those people pay more, right, let the people that
don't want that pay my fucking let me get like
a six dollars Tuesday thing in there.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, I wouldn't let pee Wee Herman know about
the Anything Ghost Theater. It's an old reference.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
RP.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, he said, Uh, I'm not saying we're never gonna
test it. We should test.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Everything, okay, Okay, Yeah, I don't know. Would you would
you like to go to a theater with people on
their phones?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I personally wouldn't, but I understand if you're trying to
get a younger audience in there that might be more
attached to their phone than say you or I. I
guess they're trying to survive right now. Man, they're in
survival mode.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, I guess I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Paramount also had some advice for movie theaters. This is
via E r C Box Office. All right, sure, limit trailers,
no as mattine pricing until six pm, and then discounted
tickets on multiple weekdays.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I mean that's that's the way to do it.
That's how you're gonna get people in there. Because number one,
I forget which theater does it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's only one of the change actually tells you the
movie start time and not the trailers.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Give me the time. Yeah, yeah, that's all I want.
Number one.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Actually, what I've realized recently, the Majestic Theater in Watertown
tells you the movie ending time, so you know when
you're getting out of.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
There as well. So I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, switch it up a little bit, make it fun,
make make like, I don't know, dude, fucking goose days, right,
and you know a lot of people do six dollars
Tuesdays or eight dollar Tuesdays or whatever. Like do more
stuff like that, and then like, once people are in
the door a couple two tree times, that's gonna be
their preferred method to see a movie. The problem is,
because of streaming and access at home and because of COVID,
(05:51):
there's a whole five or six year like grouping of
young people that never really got to fall in love
with the theater.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And you have to aim at that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, and if you were to do this so like
I understood why you used to need to put the
movie trailers at the start of the movies because you
were trying to, hey, come back to the movie theater
for this. But we now have access to all of
these trailers as soon as they drop on social media.
We don't really need to physically be sitting in a
(06:23):
theater to see these anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yes, very very true, So get.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Those out of my face. And then finally, amc CEO
Adam Aaron said that three major studios have agreed that
they need to bring back the forty five day theatrical window.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, that's another one. On both ends of it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Some movies are in the theater for too long and
then it doesn't get to streaming for eight months.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Some only do two or three week runs, and.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That's a little disappointing sometimes too, Like you look at it,
especially it happens more towards the end of the year.
It happened with Sing Sing last year, to really short
theatrical run, like they're in the theater for two three
weeks before it really even gets a chance to buzz.
Like how many people saw Anora in the theaters? Not many,
you know what I mean. So if you're in the
theaters for two three weeks and that buzz picks up,
you get that extra couple weeks week window for people
(07:12):
to go and see the movie.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I mean also look at movies like Fall Guy
and Mickey seventeen that two weeks into their theatrical run,
they were already available to buy on digital.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, that's part of it too.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Which like that you could say, well, they're gonna try
and make their money that way, but by allowing people
to think that they can see a movie that's in
theaters within three weeks, they're gonna say, I'll just wait
for that. I'm not gonna go to the theaters.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We just argued both sides of it there, So there
you go. I'd be perfectly fine with that forty five.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Day news dope. Oh we got a little, not a little.
It's a very long thing. But Nintendo was teasing the
switch to and first glance costs a bit of money
four hundred and fifty dollars with physical games ninety dollars,
digital games eighty dollars. But if you bund the new
(08:00):
Mario Kart game with your switch to only fifty, so
five hundred for the two.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, this has gotta be one of the worst video
game rollouts ever. I'm trying to think back, like the
first couple systems post we for Nintendo didn't do well.
PS three didn't do all that well on rollout. But
I'm thinking like, it's super expensive. It's more than than
a PlayStation four.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, hold up, so it's not that expensive compared to
pass Nintendo systems with inflation. So the original Nintendo entertainment
system that came out, where are we?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, no, no, don't give me that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Back in nineteen eighty five, back in nineteen eighty five,
I don't care about shut that back up. The Nintendo
cost two hundred dollars. Do you know what that is
with inflation? Five hundred five eighty four? Do you know
how much eggs cost five hundred and eighty four dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Switch one was two ninety nine on launched, So now
you're trying to justify one to fifty more to me,
and it doesn't. It didn't really improve anything switch to.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Also that Switch one on launch was two ninety.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Nine, I just fucking said that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I thought you had something with inflation. It's three ninety
one though, so it's.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
More expensive than the Launch system. It is essentially the
same system. You also now have up the game prices
to and it's ninety dollars for a physical coffee eighty
digital And if you have a game on Switch one
that you would like to plan switch to, you have
to pay to upgrade the game twenty or thirty bucks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So that's fucking bullshit as well. There's just aren't any
real new features either.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's no incentive to get a switch to if you
already have a switch. And this is why it's reminding
me sort of like the WIU rollout. Nintendo Wii was awesome,
groundbreaking system, great system to play with friends. They rolled
out the Wiu and everyone was like, I don't really
see the need to get that, And that's what this
is reminding me of and on top of this all, now,
Nintendo's never been known for their graphics. But if you're
(10:03):
the most expensive gaming system on the market and you
have PlayStation three graphics that date back to what two
thousand and eight, I can't I just can't get behind it.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They also mentioned tariffs are not factored into their price
right now.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, there you go. So give it another six months
and it'll be up another two of them.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, mac, let me ask you this. This is rapid fire.
Don't think too much about it. How much did a
game Boy cost upon release? Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I bet it was like six hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Coust ninety dollars? Oh really, who are you the fucking blutes?
How much is the banana cost?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh? What's ninety? Now? Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, all right, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Thinking back then, yes, so thank you. How much did
a Super Nintendo cost in nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Uh, let's say.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
One two hundred dollars? Okay, with inflation more than the
switch to Let's see here, let's look at the Sega Dreamcast,
not Dreamcast, the Second Genesis.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh, I'm gonna say two to fifty.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
One hundred and ninety dollars. But that was back in
nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Though, Okay, okay, how about.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The three D zero Interactive multiplayer that came out in
nineteen ninety three, a system that you know, well.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know it at all. Uh, it's probably trying
to undercut those companies. So I'm gonna say one to
fifty you have.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gone the wrong way. The three D zero Interactive Multiplayer
back in nineteen ninety three costs seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
What this is? Why I've never heard of it because
no one ever owned it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's made by Panasonic.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
That's a company name. I haven't heard it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
But I kind of respect that, Like you're going out
to being like we are that much better than the
other systems. We're gonna charge you this much. How about
the Virtual Boy back in nineteen ninety five, lot of
red lines one and eighty not bad? Okay, The Nintendo
sixty four back in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That strikes me as a one ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
One ninety nine right on the many that love that.
Let's do a couple more. I don't want to get
too deep in this, but the PlayStation Portable one of
our favorite systems. The PSP.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
The PSP was innovative. It didn't do that well, but
it was a great idea. I bet it was expensive. Man,
I'm gonna say two ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Two fifty. Okay, all right, two fifty, and then let's
choose one more. Let's see what else was super expensive
at it. How about the Neogo back in nineteen ninety
made by SNK ten six hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Okay, here's a rule of thumb. If you haven't heard
of it. It was too expensive, No one bought it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It was dumb.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Let's go over to the box office. From this past weekend,
coming in in fourth place, snow White made almost six
million dollars. It is at seventy seven domestic, one hundred
and sixty eight worldwide. At number two is Working Man
almost seven and a half domestic, and at number one,
having already achieved the highest grossing movie ever, making seven
(13:02):
and a half billion dollars. Minecraft, a Minecraft movie you've
already talked about having. You haven't seen any of these
clips of people losing their minds in the theaters. Everyone
is in the theaters quoting the movie as it's going.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I mean, I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Stunned that it actually it's getting okay reviews too, because
knowing what it's gonna be, I'm stunned it's actually doing
this well. I knew it would do well. This well
is a little surprising.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So my big questions to you are so good drafted
this in the movie draft.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
You got your sixty points, right, But.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Why don't I get more points? Because it's the best
movie of all time?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's a great question. It's a great question. There's no
question for next February.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I brought this up last episode. I actually listened to it.
I listened to our movie draft, and I even brought
up I'm like, so what if they achieve certain box
office goals beyond one billion dollars, can you get bonus points?
And you shook your head and said, well, there's fifteen
movies a year that make one hundred and fifty million,
so I think we have it covered.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, it's like they made that amount in one week.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Like, if you're how many wins do you need? You
know you only need ninety to get into the postseason.
What does one fifteen do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I took that Key Hu Kwon movie that got.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Me zero points.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I need as many points as possible on this fucker.
A lot of people are pointing out that, you know,
like this isn't a real movie, and uh, how dare
how dare the youth go and spend their money on
something like this? I think what this tells us is
that the youth don't want real movies, and that's okay.
(14:47):
Sometimes you can put something in the theater that's just
gobbledegook and ideas thrown together that don't necessarily make sense.
But if it's stuff that kids meme and jiff about,
they'll go and see.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And it's also like for me, I think I fell
in love with like storytelling and really more in depth stuff.
Harry Potter was a good introduction to that. And so
this movie is targeted at an age group that doesn't
really care about storytelling and that you know, you get
to those pre teens teenage years and that's when you
really get into storytelling and depth and emotions, you know,
(15:22):
And if you're aiming to make a bunch of money
from a movie aimed at eight year olds, you don't
need any of.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That, right, And it's also aimed at people that are
on social media and are trying to go viral for
stupid theater shit. So you have a lot of people
that are going to the theater just to record themselves
at this movie be a part of the zeitgeist, which
is also fine. I didn't love this movie, but you
need movies like this to make money for studios to
(15:50):
then make other movies.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, it's I don't know. I'm not upset that Minecraft
movie is doing well.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm not mad. I've seen people that are mad and
they're like, you should have more respect for your children
then bringing him to this slop. I got my kid
to sit still for ninety minutes each shit exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm not mad that Minecraft movie is doing well. But
this is sort of what I was talking about with
that forty five day thing. I wish like I just
had a friend three days ago that watched Anora and
he's sort of live texting me during it. He was like,
this movie's amazing. I just wish those types of movies
got better exposure while they were in the theaters.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I would really I might enjoy the fact, say, if
this is the highest grossing movie of all time, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Uh you know what they I didn't see Lego could
do it because they have all the licenses to all
the ips. Right, Yeah, the Legos need to just do
an Avengers movie.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
La La la lava chick in Seease My Chicken. Also, yeah,
if you have Jack Black in your movie, don't even
have him write a song. Just say to him, hey,
can you sing something? And just see what comes out
of his mouth? Right right, because those are the ones like,
we're pretty sure you and I having no knowledge of this,
(17:05):
that he must have written Peaches in thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No doubt. He just kept saying peaches.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He must have written his dumb lava chicken song in
less time.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
By the way, Yes, I would just like to point
out because a dona, I mean, when we're talking about
the judio here, I haven't set up my background yet.
These are boxes still packed with stuff behind me. So
don't you fret folks at home wondering about my background?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Congratulations, who's dumb? James Gunn released a clip a sneak
peek at his Superman movie, the one that he showed
at Comic Con. Lots of Crypto the Dog saving Superman,
bringing him to the Fortress of Solitude, where he is
attended to by numbered automatons.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be campy enough to
capture some of the like Reeves, magic and what Superman
is in the colic books too, So I think I
think James gun is gonna fucking nail this. And the
couple people that I follow on Twitter that are big
Superman guys loved this extended look at it, So I
(18:08):
think that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's gonna be super comic bookie. That's what it's gonna be.
It's gonna be lots of comic book stuff. And I've
also seen that it's a you know, Superman takes Cryptos
like you know, he's using him to kind of get
used to Earth and taking care of him, when in
fact Crypto is the one taking care of him. Oh,
it's like most dogs, I.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Suppose, usually beneficial relationship.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Not one of those one of those insects that'll live
on a rhino or a bird that'll live on an
elephant parasitic relationship. Yes, news Dope. Peacemaker season two officially
premiers on August twenty first on Max.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I didn't love season one as much as a lot
of people seemed to.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It had high highs for sure. It's a great character
I'm hoping we get it. I hope it's a little
more relevant in the universe's time I'm around. They also
have some splaining to do about season one because it
was involved in the prior DCU. Now it's still in
this one, so I don't know. I will obviously watch
it and enjoy it. I'm just hoping it's a little
better than.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Sor Oh we forgot to put this on the Dog,
but starting up this weekend on The Max and Who's
done Last of Us? Season two.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I'm so excited for this, and it made me even
more excited because IGN released our season two score seven.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Hell yeah, seven, so you know it's gonna be a
ten out of ten.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
This comes hot off the heels of White Lotus wrapping
up their season and everyone going bananas over Harper. Now,
we get it. You like when white ladies talk funny.
You like your Jennifer coolidgees.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You like your Parker Posey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Parker Well, Parker Posey is just doing a shit what's
the Catherine O'Hara from Shit's Creek? We get it. You
like when people say things funny, So everyone's gonna lose
their mind.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I know about twenty five people watching White Lotus seasons
in three. It's first of all, it's incredible. It's incredible
how popular the show is. I don't know if anyone's
actually enjoyed season three.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I dipped out with two episodes left. I think it's
because we were recording our SNL episode with Dork go
check that out. And my wife watched the episode without me,
and I'm like, you know what, I think, I'm done.
I don't need to watch it by myself. I'm good.
And then what I had her do is after she
finished the finale, she recapped it to me. Yep, oh boy,
(20:31):
she got so mad at me with my follow up questions.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh so she's in on season three?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Then no, she hated it.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Oh okay, okay, it's like, oh.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that white guy went and did this to this
other old white guy. And I'm like, do you mean
Greg And she's like, not fucking Greg and Michael. Greg's
an old white guy.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It is tough.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I'm usually really bad with character names unless we're reviewing
something and I go through the IMDb. You just described
the person as like, oh, so and so sister or
the mom.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I would say Walton Goggins. It Schwarzenegger's son. Yeah, something
like that Teethy magoo. Right, have you seen hers get
big old teeth on the show.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't know who that.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Is news dump. Fantastic Four director Matt Shackman said that
there are no other superheroes in their universe. This is
via Empire Magazine. There's no Easter eggs, there's no running
into Iron Man or whatever they're It's yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I mean, even if you think about our main timeline
in the NCU, right, if it was in the sixties,
there would have been Captain America on ice.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
There would have been.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Who's the black Captain America that we saw in the series,
the older one.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think that's his name and they activated him as well.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
There would have been him around. There would have been
maybe Red Guardian. There would have been a couple, so,
I mean maybe Fantastic Four just don't know they're there.
But it's not like this isn't real news. There wasn't
anyone around in the sixties really anyways.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Also from a different universe, and they might get sucked
into the other one.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's exactly what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He also mentioned that he described it as a sixties
space race movie shot with miniatures, practical sets, and vintage lenses.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I love that shit. I hope it looks a little
grainy at times. I'm in on that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They wanted to make it the way that Stanley Kubrick
would have in nineteen sixty five. It's dope. Kevin Feigi
shared some new Avengers dooms Day details, saying the Avengers,
Wakandan's Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and original X Men are all
fighting Doctor Doom, which I think at some point it's
going to be Avengers verse x Men in there. And
(22:38):
he also said the entire cast has not been revealed yet.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, this is gonna be interesting. I wonder if the
beginning is Avengers versus X Men, if Doom sort of
pits them against each other and two and then maybe
they'll You'll knighte unite by the end. We don't fully
know one hundred percent with the second Avengers movie is
going to be all about the following year, and I'm
(23:02):
not sure they do either, so it'll be interesting how
this plays out. I am really looking forward to having
all these characters on the screen, but we are entering
into territory now where the Russo brothers haven't made anything
good in a few years, and nothing has gotten though right,
and nothing has gotten close to Infinity War an endgame.
(23:23):
So we're gonna be at an impasse here soon. If that,
if this, like, if this movie doesn't nail it, I
might even jump out of the MCU, you know what
I mean. I've been dedicated the whole time, but We're
getting to the point where this movie is gonna have
to crush it.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And if you're putting all those older X Men in there,
Hugh Jackman has to be in there, Ryan Reynolds, I assume.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Honestly, I would prefer newer X Men, but I get
why they're.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Doing Fan k Janssen, halle Berry and if and if
you're bringing in those older X Men, you have to
find a way to bring Elizabeth Olsen back as Scarlet Witch.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
For sure. She's she will definitely pop up at some point.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Vincent Dianafrio. This is via Josh Herowitz. He said that
Kingpin cannot appear in MCU films. He is only usable
for television shows and that is just a part of
the rights and stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
So did he get tied up in the Sony stuff?
Is he one of the characters.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think no. I think it's just that certain uh,
they're owned by certain studios, like I think the Hulk is. Yeah,
so it isn't Sony though. I don't believe it's Sony
because he was used Kingpin was in the Daredevil movie
Universal because Kingpin was in the Daredevil movie that came
out No. Five and that was a Fox movie. But
(24:43):
maybe someone else owns the rights and they paid the
extra to have him in there.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm also okay because he is a street level person,
like he shouldn't have that much influence over a worldwide.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The issue though, is that if you only have him
in the TV shows, you can't put Spider Man in
your TV shows, And if you want him verus spider Man,
you gotta find that nice TV movie. Does that count
as movie?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, that's that's an interesting thing because he he can
cross over into a Spider Man thing, and I think
that's what makes Spider Man so great is you can
do street level stuff with Spider Man and you can
fight the strongest person in the universe and both are believable.
I think that's why Spider Man is like everyone's favorite superhero.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
You know, that would be funny is if Marvel told
him that. But they secretly just don't want him in
the movies. We're not allowed to have you what we
wanted to give you your own full length movie. But
you gotta hang out with Echo.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
And then if you do, we gotta address the whole
how your eye works again?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
After that series.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
News dump Mac, I have news. I don't know if
it's good.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Or terrible news.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I have news. I have terrible news. Cliff Booth is
coming back. They'll be shooting a follow up movie to
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that'll be on Netflix
from director David Fincher. This is not a sequel.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, it's clearly gonna be about the before times and
that whole story based around whether.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No I believe they said it to me? Set eight
years after Really, yeah, that's what I wrote.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Maybe he's like a star that So it is a sequel.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Then it's not a sequel, it it literally is. It's
not a sequel to that movie. It's a follow up
with that character. So it's more a spinoff and off.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, but Cliff Booth is a central character to that movie.
The final events takes place in his.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Say, and it is being written by Quentin Tarantino, but
I am curious how much he's working on the script
and it's not just stuff being taken from the book
that was the follow up to the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, sorry, it didn't the final scene didn't take place
in his own but he was in there. He's the
most fantastic part of that final scene. I've stoked about
this because when we came away from that movie review,
we both loved the movie. Instantly we said, this is
almost hurt by the fact that Cliff Booth is the
coolest character in the movie by a mile, and there's
almost not enough of them. So now we're getting our
(27:01):
enough part. We're gonna get a whole Cliff Booth movie.
And that makes me so excited.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I've already said this on the podcast. I believe that
Cliff Booth, slash Brad Pitt's portrayal of the character, how
Quentin Tarantino wrote it directed, that might be one of
the coolest characters. If we did a cool character list
from this decade or from the past twenty five years,
Booth might be number one.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think rapic characters would be on there.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They might just be all Brad pet easy.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You'd have Troy you'd have fight Club. That's three right there,
Probably one of his Oceans performances you could put on there.
He's just cool. He's the fucking man.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
When he appeared on Dave.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, sounds fantastic.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But this is so. It has been rumored that Pitt,
So this will take place in the seventies and follow
a film critic who wrote for a porno magazine.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So what year did sixties? It was sixties? Okah, all right, yeah,
I'm into this.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'd watch a whole movie a day in the life
of Cliff Booth.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I'm tepid.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You're tid the character so much.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't know how much I want more of him,
Like he's perfect as is.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
And also he might have gained some notoriety after the
events of the last movie too, you.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Know, like what if he starts Jackass?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That could be a route I suppose I won't read I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Cliff Booth and welcome to Jackass. Brad Pitt was in
the movie Jackass.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Jackass the movie? Or is in the movie Jackass?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He is Jackass the movie. Isn't that the same thing?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, I thought you were trying to switch fuck me up.
There is there a movie named Jackass.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
No, he is in Jackass the movie. He is dressed
as a panda bear and he does a stunt with Knoxville.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Oh, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Give it a goog's give it a nice googs. While
I jumped to this next one, news Dumpe got our
big trailer for Mission Impossible, Final Reckoning. And the big
thing out of here is that Alan Trammel Tillman is
in this movie fresh off of Severance.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I just hope they crushed this. I have loved this
series of movies. I hope it really is a sendoff.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
For Cruise in this role. Where now what eight movies deep,
we've we were there. You know.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The last movie was a disappointment at the box office,
was still of the highest of high qualities. Maybe not
as good as the prior three movies, but still an
incredible action movie.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm really looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
These movies like just constantly try to outdo themselves, so
that's always great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well, we saw him on a plane. He was hanging
on to a wing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, I mean dangerous.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
News dope, have you pulled up that Brad Pitt panda yet?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
No, No, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You love googling stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Though.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
We got a trailer for or this is more of
a tease. Got a tease for Naked Gun. The Leslie
Nielsen Akiva Schaeffer directed Naked Gun. That looks like a
it's a sequel, it's a follow up to the other ones.
It is not a remake because we get that sweet
seen at the end where they're all looking at their
fathers and crying. That was actually pretty funny, and then
(30:05):
the one guy's like, I'm not gonna cry over OJ.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I mean, this movie's probably gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I just don't know what it is like money wise,
I have no idea what it's gonna make.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
News Doupe got a trailer for Wes Anderson the movie.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
It's just like I mean, I don't know how many
he can make, but he's just gonna keep doing m
until they tell him to stop. And I'm sure, you know,
critics will love it and audiences will be confused. The
Wes Anderson Experience.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The phonicition scheme, Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
That's how you pronounce it, right, Phoenician Phoenician.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Benizio del Toro, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Brian Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch.
I saw Michael Sarah in there. There's many many more names.
I saw this and I became that jiff where a
where like a bunny rabbit is working on a computer
and then suddenly falls asleep. That was me.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I have no need for these.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, you might like this. That's the thing. Wes Anderson movies.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
When you like him, you really love them, like you
fall in love with these types of movies. But sometimes
you're just like, we did it a little too much,
Like Asteroid City didn't hit for me. But on the
other end of the of the spectrum, Grand Budapest Hotel
one of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
May I suggest a chicken jockey, wo throw our SODA's
all over the fucking theaters news dumpe. Christopher Walking told
somebody he might have just been telling someone on the street.
I don't know where this is sourced, but he said
that Bugs Bunny is one of his favorite actors, and
(31:41):
he told Ben Stiller that a lot of times he's
played roles as if he was Bugs Bunny, but didn't
tell anyone.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That's incredible. That's incredible that Christopher Walkin has derived inspiration
from Bugs Bunny, the cartoon character, and has worked him
into multiple roles in his esteemed career. I don't think
we knew it was Bugs Bunny. We knew it was weird.
I don't think we knew it was bugs.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We knew it was Looney Tunes esque. Like him and
Nicholas Cage might have went to Acme University and learned
under Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
You might be right about that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It is dumb. Disney has put a pause on the
development of their live action Tangled remake. This comes after
snow White has flopped at the box office. This is
via the Hollywood Reporter. My only disappointment if this does
not get made because I think the pause button will
come off after Lelo and Stitch makes fucking Minecraft money.
(32:42):
Is that? What I want to see here is they
need to cast Mandy Moore as the evil mom.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Okay, all right, uh, I've never seen.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Missing you like hen Hey, oh baby, come to me,
show me who you are. Step to me.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You like sugar too much?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
All right, stop, don't think about it, tell me right now,
give me your mount rushmore of late nineties early aughts
female performers.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
You know, will of Ford, I want to be bad,
make my wish come true.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
She played Anna Nicole Smith in the Ana Nicole Smith biopic.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Okay, then give me your mount rushmore me.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah, of late nineties batties.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Late nineties. Well, they have to be pop singers, so
post spice girls, pop singers that were during the boy
band era.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, Brittany's obviously there.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He is the TRL era.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Britney, Christina automatically there. You know, maybe more, many more
A short run actually went to acting pretty quick, man.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm trying to think Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Jessica Simpson. You gotta put Simpson on there too. Is
that the four? Right there? We just did?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's that the four? I mean, you can't think of
anyone else. That's the issue. I'm sure that there were more.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, there had to have been more, and there's a
lot of copycats, but those are probably the four primary.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Builds, right, that might be it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I mean I'm probably forgetting someone, but like, if you're
talking straight pop, it probably was Simpson, Mandy Moore, Christina
and Brittany.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Let's not unturn this stone here. Seline Dion is not
really a female pop singer. Shania Twain did try and
become a female pop singer pop country. Well no, so
she was country, then she went heavy pop after that.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Well, no, she was both. She was always both.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
A Leah.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It's more R and B.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, no one else because Mariah Carey was more early nineties,
mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah she I mean, she was still around making music,
but you wouldn't describe her as like the late nineties
teen pop.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
No, she was all of the nineties.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Kylie Minogue.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Kylie Minogue had a couple bangers. That's not a bad
one she was. She was a little more dance electronica
though too.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Shakira was more like mid odds. Right.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I think Hips Don't Lie was two thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I want to say Nelly Furtado was there early two
thousands too.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Good job by US News, dupe. You forgot Macy Gray,
by the way, same.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I tried, I walk away and I stooped.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
She famously sang the song the theme song to as
told by Ginger.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yep, she did. She's also awesome in her Three Minutes
and Training Day.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
The graph is always greener on the other side of.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
The It's clear my world crumbles when you were not there?
All right?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Mac over on Disney Plus right now in honor of
its thirty year anniversary. I'm currently wearing a power Line
T shirt. The not a Goof documentary I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Not another goo?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
What did I say?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Not a goof?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
We said the same thing. Not another Goof? Is on
Disney Plus. The documentary giving you the story slash timetable
of how a goofy movie was made? Have you seen
it yet?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Nope? I have you? I have.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It is an hour and a half, so I would
say to shave about a half an hour off because
it's the same length as the movie.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah, okay, it's.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
A good timeline. It gets into the director, how he
worked on previous Disney movies and how he kind of
got fast tracked to be the director there. It's all
about Katzenberg and how he wanted to see if they
could make a low budget animated movie that wasn't as
big and like over the top as a Lion King Aladdin,
Beauty and the Beast, use a property that they already
(36:43):
have and go more with a low scale story. And
how so Katzenberg got fired or he left Disney just
before nineteen ninety five when a Goofy Movie was released,
so they no longer had the studio behind them, and
they kind of got a whimper of a release. They
(37:03):
kind of flopped at the box office, and when they
sold the VHS's for like The Lion King Pocahontas a
Goofy movie, a Goofy movie was the cheapest of the bunch.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
That makes sense. Yeah, So they.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Thought that they had made a movie that you know,
didn't have any traction, that they spent four years making
a movie that didn't that was not picked up by
the populace.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
But then ten years ago at D twenty three, they
had a twentieth anniversary Goofy Movie panel that was the
hottest thing going. It was the biggest panel at D
twenty three, and they realized, wait a second, people did
like this movie.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
It became like a cult classic, I say.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Then they started searching idiots like us online who were
doing TikTok videos, YouTube videos, YouTube reviews talking about this
movie and how much it meant to their childhood, and
they realized, you know what, we made something that touched
a lot of people's hearts.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yes, it's a good story, you know, how we just
talked about earlier with Minecraft that you don't you don't
need it to sell the.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Kids had it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Man speak to you as a father was memorable instantly. Yeah,
as a father, Goop formerly a son, I'm still a son.
I am now a father. You can look at it
through Max's point of view, you can look at it
through Goofy's point of view. And this might be the
movie because there was actually one part during this documentary
that I started to cry a little bit. It was
(38:28):
someone sent them a letter about how and I might
cry right now talking about this. A kid told the
story about how when a Goofy movie came out on VHS,
his parents had recently separated and watching movies was something
that he had done with his father. His mother got
him that movie and he just watched it on a
loop because he was able to, you know, get that
(38:48):
father son relationship through the movie.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's pretty cool. That's a cool story.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
It's a lot of that. It was a little I
don't want to say up its own ass, but it
was a little bit okay, But you understand why because
they have recently, in the past decade, realized how much
this movie has done for certain people.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Also, maybe the coolest part of the doc is when
they did the screen test using actual dancers for the
final scene of Goofy power line in Max on stage,
and you see how they put that dance number together.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Hm, so I would say check it out. I'm disappointed
that it's that it's ninety minutes. It's too long. Get
it to a clean hour.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I mean, I will watch it for sure.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
It's also cool to see how an animated movie comes
together and how it takes three to four years, how
working with the voice actors and everything else. Yeah. Well,
actually one of the things is so they outsource their
animation to France, and what he would have to do
is he would have to video record himself giving instructions
and he would be as big and vibrant as possible.
(39:54):
He will. He would then mail it to France. They
would then watch it two days later. That's crazy, crazy
now because everything's fucking zoom right, all right, all right,
news dumpe.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Gorse. Uh, what do you want to do for the
end of the week.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I want to watch a Goofy movie?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Uh? We could do that.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I was thinking maybe we reviewed Last of Us Season
one already, so we can't do that.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
I was thinking, I don't know something something in that realm.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Because I'm debating showing my kid a goofy movie this week,
So we might just fucking have to do that. Okay,
everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Yeah, I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
See I too. Ah.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I also haven't watched it in a very long time,
so I'd be cool with that.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
You can't speak as a father, but right you are
a son.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, I mean, who knows though the new setup I
might bring in the casting couch. You know, a lot
of opportunities ahead of me here.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
I'm in this new house, I'm in this new sexy room.
I don't know where it's gonna take me.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
The pigture I just sent you where the couch fits.
It's it's an oddly similar layout to certain videos you
have seen on the internet.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I hated his stretch marks so much, dude, it took
me out of so many scenes.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I really need, and it's been pretty good over the
past couple of years. I really need the male performer
to look just like me.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I get that you're gonna put yourself into the story.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
And I see a lot of people that do look
just like me, like, oh, he has a mustache and
a dumb haircut. Nice. I'm gonna watch all of his videos.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
There's a there's a famous bald h porn actor named Jamax,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Is there really yes?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Oh my god, you know who he is.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I'm not gonna googlet it work, not right now. I'm
also not going to open say if your father sends
me a link to it on Facebook, not opening that
at workout.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Don't all right?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Well, well maybe we'll do a goofy movie at the
end of the week.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
