Speaker 1 (00:00):
Box office, Buka Banana Banansa. Don't worry that it's not
good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing sing
a song? Shadows, Got a Gun? Who Wins? Son Fasa?
No One's next movie has more star power than the
eighth place racer in Mario kart Hi On Tim's Depth Chart,

(00:24):
Daddy is there to take Malcolm to the Fair? Max
Rex all that and more this week on Newsdope.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
That was the best news dump You've ever said. But
before we get to those topics, Mac, let me ask you.
This is the goosday after Thanksgiving. I don't care about
your Thanksgiving. I care more about your Black Friday, small
business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. You get anything cool?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Thank you for asking. I did enjoy some devil de
eggs on Thanksgiving. I have not boughten anything for myself
for anyone. Oh this this past four or five days lately,
I did. I did Ganders. So work related thing we
need to This is how work goes. And you know,
I'm glad I'm not in an office setting and I
don't get to deal with semantics and stuff. But we

(01:12):
need to purchase a laptop. But it's got to like
not necessarily get approved, but it's gotta be like a
thumbs up from like three people. And so obviously we
haven't purchased the laptop yet because we just can't get
on the same page, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
And you're in charge of this.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm one of the three or four people that like.
So I'm like, hey, do you want me to just
go get one? And I can't get an answer, gool, Yes,
do you buy anything? I don't care about your Thanksgiving?
Did you buy anything on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday,
or Cyber Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
On Black Friday, I bought myself a new pair of
air pods, the air Pod twos. They're a little tricky
because they're they're the noise cancelation ones and I can't
figure out the settings to either have it not be
noise cancelation having the sound be too big. You need
to have the case with you when you're changing the settings,
and I usually only just have one pod in my

(02:01):
ear and out of nowhere. It's just.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
So let me ask you this, this is this has
gotta be more for for gym stuff that gym stuff. Okay,
I was gonna say, because you you are anti earbuds
for the most part. Now.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I like earbuds. I don't mind them. I love the
fit of these some bitches. They fit amazing and they
feel great. I can move my head around and they
don't pop out of my ear.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now, I think I have a narrow ear canal, and
I know you get different sizes when you get a earbudge,
but they.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Usually mine's gaping, Mine's giant.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Earbuds usually hurt my ears after like forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh, mine's been great. I've the comfort level on these,
I've absolutely loved. It's just the weird noise cancelation settings
that I'm not a huge fan of, because I don't
if I only have one ear. But in I'm not
looking to cancel noise. I'm just looking at someone speak
in my ear. I'm looking at some podcast.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And not for nothing. That should be like a it
shouldn't kick in or you shouldn't even be an option
one earbud in you know.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
It immediately turns on like that. The toy sales on
Black Friday sucked, so my son really hasn't gotten yet,
although I did order him is his basketball hoop. I
got him a bunch of so right now, budget wise,
we're about to blow way past that. I'm a real
bad GM because I keep seeing something like that's not
a bad deal. I'm gonna get him this too.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I hear that you also were waiting in line
Friday morning during Black Friday.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right because Target was selling a tailor swift book.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh that's what all those folks were there.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
And I says to myself, I says, what if I
buy a couple of these and then these pay for Christmas?
Luckily I didn't do that because they are still at
Target right now. So everyone waiting in line, you stupid
big dummies, Big big dummies. That's all I got so far. Okay,
all right, tell us what you bought. Tell us any
good deals coming up, because go only buy stuff when

(03:46):
it's on sale. That's the fun of Christmas.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well yeah, but I also feel like I saw a
TikTok about this too, so it could be fake news.
Who knows that some of the deals on Black Friday
were like markups then marked down? Oh yeah, no, they
were weeks ago. You could have got it for less
a price or the same price. But they make you
feel like you're getting a deal on Black.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's like going to Fye and you go in there
and it says that this DVD box that costs forty
five bucks, but we'll give it to you for thirty
two when the actual price is just thirty two. Yeah,
that's when the Better Business Bureau needs to step in.
It got my pillow, guy, You can't sell one pillow
and give this person four pillows. That's what the deal always.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Is, I know, right right? Take their goddamn BBB sticker away.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
News damp mac. Did you see this? Do you hear
about this? We have a new word of the year
from Oxford and that is two words brain rot.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah. I don't like this.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't like it one bit. I says to myself,
what are the rules?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
We can't be putting terms into the dictionary? Right? Two
word terms? What are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
It feels like Oxford itself a little bit of a
brain rot.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yo, anyone that's listened to us for an extended period
of time a little bit of brain rot.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I was curious if we are brain rot because it's
usually social media quick hitter, less than a minute, bunch
of bazinga's going off at once, and you need that
quick adrenaline rush. You're you're endorphins go cuckoo bananas.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I think you made a bunch of bukuo banana bonanza.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
By the way, I'm having a real tough time this
morning thinking the words.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Let's be always I don't I don't care for this.
I understand they're trying to adopt more colloquial diction, and
you know these new like hyphen words that come up
as you know, our society progresses or regresses whatever way
you want to, like a brain rot and I just
don't care for this. The two word thing really at

(05:48):
least hyphenated, right.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I also don't like that it's voted on by thirty
seven thousand people. I thought it was like the NFL
Hall of Fame where you have a room of nine people.
You have nine people presenting a word, and then you
talk your word up.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, because you've got the brain rotten people voting on
the words that should go into the sctionary. So it's
asked backwards.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't care for this one bit.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
We should have like a mister Oxford that makes the
final decision.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I want the one person deciding on the word of the.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Year, like Bobby Oxford comes out and like this is
what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I would like the mac and goobers all thirty seven
thousand of U to please tell us what our word
of the year is.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, please do news dep.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
The box office went kaboom over the past five days.
Mowana a record two hundred and twenty five million dollars
domestic over its five day run four Thanksgiving three eighty
six worldwide. That is an animated record. Wicked and it's
second week five days. Keep that in mind, five days,
but almost one hundred and twenty million dollars domestic. Right now,

(06:49):
it is at three sixty over two weeks, the highest
grossing musical adaptation of all time in the US in
just eight days. Gladiator two forty four million over that
five days, three twenty in two weeks. Ridley Scott was
recently asked how often he thinks of the Roman Empire.
He responded, I've never thought of it, And if you

(07:12):
look at some of the stuff that he puts in
his movies, you might not question that.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'd argue he'd be he'd he's been thinking about the
Roman Empire for I don't know thirty years. When when
did he start making Gladiator, start writing Gladiator? Really?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Why don't you open a book and see what actually
happened back then. Fuck you sharks, that's what happened. And
Red One still making money almost twenty million over those
five days, one fifty total in three weeks. The only
issue there. It costs two hundred and fifty million to make,
and I think the budget on the market is well
over three billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, that's that's that's a movie. We can confirm that
it's a movie.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I'm not even sure if it is a movie.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Two things here, Yeah, I am. I guess pleasantly surprised
at the second weekend for Wicked, barely a drop off.
But we talked briefly over the weekend and I was
gonna go see it again with my brother who won
to see it, and it was all sold out. Wow,
the only seats were like right front. I'm like, absolutely not.
I'd rather get shot in the head than go sit there.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I love those seats.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Also, on top of all these records, this was the
highest grossing Thanksgiving weekend wreck box Office ever, four and twentyllion,
four hundred and twenty two million domestically. That's unbelievable. Movies
are back, baby, well, I mean kinda.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
You have a sequel to a Disney movie, you have
a sequel to a movie from twenty three years ago.
You have a well known property, yeah, from the Wizard
of Oz Well Red One. The people know Santa, people
know the Rock, and people know Chris Evans. Lucy Lou.
Lucy Lou turned fifty three the other day. Looks great
for fifty three, she sure does. Someone also posted her

(08:51):
from like nineteen ninety nine or two thousand. Not bad
at all. Remember she was in Charlie's Angels and she
dated Joey Tribiani.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah she was. Was she in Ally McBeal before that, Yes, Yeah,
that's where she was. She was, right, I think, So.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
What a murderer's row of a fucking cast because you
have already j in there too.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Have you ever understood it with Calista Flockhart that she
ever done it for you?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I know she had that little baby that was dancing
in her head with the Uga Chucks.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Like Harrison Ford could have had anyone on the planet,
and he was like, I'm gonna have Calista Flockhart.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's what he said before he ordered her off the
dinner MANU thank you coming up. Actually, there's nothing these
next couple of weekends.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Craven next weekend?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Is a Craven next weekend?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Did we get a screener?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Not yet?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
No? Oh yeah, there's that, There's Sonic, there's Mufasa. No
Speratu is getting quite the write ups right now, and
I am rock hard for it. Yep, spooky Christmas stuff.
And I have a question for you too, So do
I count the two Christmas movies from twenty twenty four
that I've seen recently on my letterbox list? Do they

(10:01):
count as actual movies?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
If it's so? Sometimes, I don't know, that's up to you.
I also watched a movie this weekend that technically came
out in twenty twenty two. It's a Canadian movie, but
it didn't get you weren't able to watch it in
the US until this year.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Canada's always two years behind us, so that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
To me, Well, they'd be ahead in this scenario, so
that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Got the fuck up?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So to me, that's a twenty twenty four release. That's
how I'm going to operate, So it's didn't Actually.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
The widest audience, that's what I would say.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Twenty twenty four, And we see that all the time
because you get a lot of movies that get limited
releases in the prior year so that they can get
oscar bars or whatever, but they don't get like nationwide
releases till the next year, and that really fucks with
how we evaluate them. That's this is why I was
able to nominate LaVita Bella for two different Gooby vaults,
because I think it came out in Italy in ninety.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Seventh, ninety America ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I would also so I would say the Lindsay lohand
Ristmas movie might be a real movie. I'm not counting
the Lazy Shaber movie how Crosty as a real movie.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
That's pretty mean.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
It is dump. But the people sing is what the
rock is saying. When asked by BBC, I'll let you
decide which BBC was asking him about singing in the theater,
he said, you've paid your hard earned money for a ticket,
and you've gone into a musical and you're into it sing.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
On the other side, I have also paid my hard
earned money for a time. I would say to watch
the professionals sing and not some fucking loser ten feet
to my left that can't just sit through a movie
in silence. They're gonna come out with a singable one.
Go see it.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Next popular, You're gonna be popular.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't need people in there taking make an Instagram
posts of them singing during the movie. I don't want
any of that. I want none of that.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's the Wizard and nah aye the ways are the
nah I like to change the song in my head
to make it my own.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, I'm just picturing you tap dancing like the WB frog?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
What the frog like? The like the guy saying come
on to six Flags d D. Also, is he saying
for people to sing at Mawana because no one knows
any of those songs? If it's the second one.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, good point. Great. And why is the Rock chiming
in on any of this?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
That's a good question too. Is he expecting people to
do what my son does when he's when he's learning
a song where he hears this and then he repeats
the lines back to the to the fucking screen.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Did the Rock call up BBC himself? They didn't even
want to talk to him. He called BBC and I
was like, I gotta get my opinion.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
He was like, look, I just saw Wicked and I
sang my ass off and They're like, we saw you
singing Mawana and we don't think you should be doing that.
News Dah another crailer for song three. This time Shadows
got again.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I still don't know anything about Shadow and I don't
know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
We've got two egg Men. We got egg Men, Dad
Eggmen's son, both played by Jim Carrey. And then Knuckles
makes a Pokemon joke.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
The first movie, Goo, I think is overrated. Second movie
might be underrated. So I'm hoping this movie is rated.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
You think this one is Baby Bear's Porridge going up
against Sonic on That's December twentieth, Eve news emp is
Mufassa son Fassa, the weekend of Mufasa the Lion King
and Sonic three both hitting theaters, which is kind of
weird because I feel like it's a pretty similar audience.

(13:45):
Like I understand Barbie vers Oppenheimer, I understood Gladiator two
versus Wicked. This one, I feel like there's almost too
much of a crossover, and this kind of speaks to it.
Tracking wise, Sonic is at fifth Mufasa fifty million, but
Disney has yet to make its big Mufasa push. I

(14:07):
would say they are running out of time.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, it does strike me as individually, one of these
movies should hit eighty or ninety, right, but instead they're
both gonna split that and get Bathwater with fifty fifty five.
So that's that's a bummer from them. But whatever, they'll
have some longevity there. And it is the holiday season,
so there's a couple of weeks off, you know, winter vacation.
Kids will get to the theater. Uh good. I prefer
Moofhonic over Sonfasa.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
I wish you wrote that. It's like a Muzzy let
gram MOSI lo dog dogs, old mood. That's Muzzy and
he's teaching the kids how to speak French.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Zizula.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
That and Zu Bucks was the one that I saw
the most. Yeah, and never got. I always wanted Zuo books.
I didn't give a fuck about Muzzy, But like Zuo books,
I was into animals. It was bright, was colorful. There
was a bunch of them, pretty popular animals, nothing crazy.
I never got Zoo books.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Did they make a Zu book about every animal?

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I wouldn't think every animal. There's a lot of animals.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
There's a lot of animals.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, can't do every animal well.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I guess just animal.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You think of the bottom line, think of the business angle.
You can't go out there saying we're doing every animal.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, but if you do and people collect them, they
got to get every book, got.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
To catch them all. Yeah, zoo books. He's demp By
the way, Scar might be Taca might be I'm not
sure yet. Okay, we'll figure this out.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
You told me he's definitely not talking.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I don't know what's happening in this movie. All I
know is that Moufasa is there to steal the kingdom.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well because he could be Taca. And then when he
gets the scar, he calls himself Scar. He gets called Scar.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
But then I thought Taca was someone else.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I know, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's also not just a prequel. There's a lot of
it's it's a half and half of like modern day
stuff because Donald Glover and Beyonce are both in this
and yeah, there's music by lin Manuel Miranda. You have
to assume that Beyonce is going to sing at least
half those songs you have Beyonce.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
True, it's a good point.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
That should mean we're getting a single from that album
pretty soon, right, we're in striking range of that.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
And according to the rock, I can go in there
and I can sing as loud as I want, which,
by the way, if they really want the people to sing,
I feel like the first Saturday showing every week. That's
a perfect sing a long time because you can have
kids in there, you can have idiots that want to sing.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah. I don't know how I feel about that, because
I guess it'd be more adults going at night, So
do it while the kids are in there. Yeah, all right,
kids are already annoying in the theater. Anyways, it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
All right. We now know the Disney Deadpool deleted joke.
The scripts for Deadpool and Wolverine was released online by Disney.
The joke that Disney asked to be removed from the
script has been revealed, and it was Deadpool complaining about
Disney not affording any more X Men and and then
he asked Mickey to please take his fonts out of

(17:03):
his mouth.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Oh fuck? What the fuck? Uh? Yeah, this doesn't bother me.
I get why.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
It feels like every other joke in the movie, though
I don't know why this would be the one.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
So that's true too. Yeah, I know well, specifically talking
about Mickey Mouse's dick down his throat.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
So okay, I guess what if he said schwantse like
he was Ryan Gosling and that dumb movie like.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Fuck you, Crazy Stupid Love?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Come on, someone did, because you know how always on
X people are like, oh, what's the craziest movie scene
you've ever seen? And someone posted that scene from that
movie the Backyard, you know, like it's the Hannah reveal
from Crazy Stupid Love? That is the worst scene of
all time?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Oh fuck you?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
We call her Banana? Is Hannah Banana?

Speaker 1 (17:49):
You get Drew Carrey's brother in there?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Isn't it crazy? How he's always gonna be known as
Drew Carrey's brother. Yeah, he's in The Founder. He's great
in The Founder. The Founder is a great movie. And
all I know is that it's Nick Offerman, Michael Keaton
and Drew Carrey's brother. Yeah, and Cardelini.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
He's also incredible in Zodiac.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
But nope, he's really good on The Drew Carrey Show
as well. The Drew Carrey Show. I only see now
it's on the Cozy Network and that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
It's like it never existed. It doesn't get talked about
the way like everybody loves Raymond.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Do you know what I have now on my Samsung TV?
Whenever I turn it on, Brad, I have a Samsung TV.
You have all those channels that always pop up. I
have the National Lampoons channel that always has a comedy on,
either a comedy movie or a comedy television show, and
they love playing Workaholics, very funny show. But whenever I

(18:39):
turn it on, I'm usually with my son about to
turn on Spider Man and his Amazing Friends. And the
other day it was the episode where Adam walked in
on the two giant bodybuilders in the shower together and
he goes, well, you guys have great hogs. I bet
chicks love to suck him the exact moment. Yeah, as

(19:00):
I learned on my TV.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
In like two more years, you would have had to
explain that to raffi' you're feetering on the edge there.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Which first off was a hilarious joke for Adam to say,
but just the perfect time. It's like when you were
a kid and whenever you would watch any PG thirteen
or R rated comedy, your parents would always walk in
on anything nudity.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
The worst thing Yeah, every time you'd have to explain
that you're watched a single time of porn.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm not watching porny, it's just about porn. It's the
girl next door.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's different, it's totally different.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Why are your parents around your ankles? Well, I'm just
striking off, don't mind me. He's dope. A little teaser
for Lee Lo and Stitch. Stitch is on the beach
destroying sand castles, and I am gonna spend all of
my auction hot dogs on this movie.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, Stitch looks awesome, looks great. I'm intrigued as to
how he'll look when it's more than just a two
color background. But it seems like they probably put all
their time and effort into the Stitch cgi to make
this work, So I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
There's damp nos Faratu drops its dong in three weeks
thank you, or dropped its long three weeks early. It's
a nice little headline. I didn't see you putting that
in there. It debuts at ninety three percent on roddy
T's I think thirty seven reviews on that right now.
It is in theaters on Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, a good amount of reviews. Enough to believe that
this is actually going to be really good. And they're
dropping the reveal early because they're trying to build the
buzz because we've been seeing some advertising here and there,
but this is like when you drop the Roddy t score,
it's free advertising when it's this high. So they wanted
to let the people know that, yeah, this is good.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I also like someone had the headline. I can't think
of who it was, but they said that Nosferatu twenty
twenty four, Robert Ager's nos Faratu holds the record for
the longest nos Faratu movie. So it's compared to the
other two, the one that came out in nineteen fourteen
when they only had so much film, and then the

(21:02):
one from nineteen seventy five or something.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I think the first one is like nineteen twenty two, yeah, something.
I think it's the twenties.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Should we get an extra shot? We don't have enough
film to do that. We can't. Whatever we get here,
we're gonna use. Yeah, and if we can't use it,
the movie's gonna be twenty two minutes. News No Preacher
Commandos premieeres this week on Max.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yes, Yes, Okay, Max.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Roddy T's ninety four percent roddy T's for television shows
is kind of weird, though.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, I don't quite understand it because it does feel
like people will review it based on not the whole season,
which really grinds my gears. But we knew this was
gonna be good. James guns I think, first official entry
into his DCU, right, Yes, so this is gonna be
maybe not substantial, but it matters and animated, so they'll
have fun with it.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I know that most of the reviews that I have
seen have said that this is James Gunn calling card
of a bunch of weirdos, great music, funny jokes.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, I mean that that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
News Damp Christopher Nolan's next movie that I believe is
a vampire movie, right.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I think you're right. Yeah, I think they're talking about that.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
The cast keeps growing. We already knew about Tom Holland,
Matt Damon, Zendaya, Ann Hathaway. We now know about Lupita, Neogo,
Robert Pattinson, back with Nolan. Everyone has been demanding it
since Tenants, and now we have Charlie Thrown.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I mean, it's it's a Nolan movie. You could tell
me it was two dogs in a fucking a bird,
and I'd go watch it doesn't matter who's in it
when it's a Nolan.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Is there anyone else in the movie? Or is it
just the two dogs and the bird?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Two dogs and a bird?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
And he's gonna are they voiced by people?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
That's for you to decide, Well, how.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Are we gonna?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
He's making an adaptation of Doctor Seus's Are You My Mother?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I don't know which one that is.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh, you don't know that one.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I know the Doctor Seuss Knows book. That's when they
try on a bunch of different noses.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Are you might I think it's might be called are
You My Mom? A bird falls out of its nest
and is looking for his mom the whole book, and
he's asking other things. He's asking a dog, are you
my mother? And he's like, no, I'm a dog.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
So Christopher, we see that you are doing another movie.
What is it about? It's about stacking turtles. Turtles, Yes,
stacking turtles. It stars Tom Holland.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
All Right, Greenlit news dep.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Tim Burton said that he will be doing another movie
with Johnny Depp in the future. This via indie Wire.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Fine, I don't think I've seen the last two they've done.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Do you think Burton goes to me, He's like, you're
down and out. I'm paying you nothing.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
I feel like depths on top of the world. Burton
might be down and out after Dumbo.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, Burton just did Beatle, just Beatlejuice. He's back on
top of the world. Top of the world. Held is
that the song?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I don't know what you just pulled that fro news deep.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Stop singing. I think people don't like it.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, what are you gonna do? I would say the
opposite of that. The top two movies at the box
office are musicals.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
You're right, we should do more musical stuff. I did
see this on X around Black Friday Thanksgiving. This is
via THHR and it was Frankie Munez talking about how
Brian Cranston still checks in on him every few weeks.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I do love that because obviously, I mean, what was
Frankie Muna is what eleven or twelve when that show started?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Twell thirteen.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, I think I would have lost a lot of
money if I was allowed to bet in two thousand
and two on who would be more famous a decade later,
and I would have bet Frankie Munas over Brian Cranston
and would have been very wrong.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I would have bet the kid that plays Dewey.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
That big eared fuck.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh, come on, come on. He said, he really cares
about what I'm doing. He comes to my races, if
my band was playing, he comes to the shows. I
strive to be that someone else in the future.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he was a role model
for Muna's way back when. And it's funny to think that,
like that was Brian Cranston's biggest role ever too, but
he was like at the time, yeah yeah, and then
obviously Breaking Bad came later. But Frankie Muna is just
supposed to be the one to shoot the started from that,
and he did do Big Fat Liar and fans there
you go. That's the one with Hillary Duff.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
He's also in a horror movie that's not very good.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Big Fat Liars one with a man of Binds, ag
of Cody Bakes.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
You could tell me either one as much and I
would believe you.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, yeah, pretty much the same.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Paul Giamatti is blue, He's.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Blue, yeah, and Big Fat Liar.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
It could be the other one. I also, oh, Frankie
Munaz sells olive oil, now does he really? Yeah? Why
I think everyone's selling olive oil for some reason?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
A lot of olive oil peddlers out there.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Is there a surplus on olives that you can squeeze
into oil? Is that how you make olive oil? I'm Italian?
Should I know this?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I guess that's how you would make all of oil? Right.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I don't know if I mentioned this on the podcast.
But for the maddest I have ever been at my
wife is I needed her to pick up some groceries
for me. I'm so mad at no, and she I said,
pick up some olive oil. And she brought home extra
virgin olive oil. And I was furious.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
To be honest with you, if someone told me to
grab olive oil, that would be my default too, to.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Get the extra fucking terrible olive oil.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I would get the extra virgin.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, throw it out the window.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
What does extra virgin mean?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I don't know what it means. It's just it's fucking
thinner and it's garbage.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Can some one of these olive oil peddlers? Could you
explain to it?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Frankin you and as please let us know what is
the difference? In our olive oils.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
What makes an extra virgin?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's like, the only time I've ever seen my father
mad at my mother is when she bought thin oreos
as opposed to the regular normal sized oreos like oreo
thins whatever they're called. He was pissed. Oh my lord,
I get that. I get it too, But yeah, news
Ben Stiller told Collider that there is no shot that

(27:02):
Tropic Thunder would be made today in this environment edgier
comedy is just harder to do, definitely not at the
scale we made it. The idea of Robert playing that character,
who's playing an African American character incredibly dicey, even at
the time it was dicey too. Mac may I say,
this is that a movie like this that is lampooning Hollywood,

(27:25):
I think has a better chance of being made than
some other comedies.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, And I also feel like this has been going
on for three or four years now, of all these
Tropic Thunder actors talking about Holly, you could never make
that movie today, And I'm like, yeah, I guess you're right.
I don't, But why we keep talking about that? Like
part of the reason why that movie is so great,
because it's like a perfect storm of everything. Yeah, and
being able to make it then. So maybe they're right.

(27:50):
Maybe he couldn't make it now, but it doesn't matter.
They already made it.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I also think that Hollywood, when looking at like a
comedy to green light, loves the ones that are so
far up Hollywood's ass anyways, and that's what this movie is.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, No, that's true.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Like, maybe you might take one or two things out,
but I think a lot of this stuff would actually
play and get greenlit.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Still, Yeah, you're probably right. I don't know if it
would do as well, but you could probably make it.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
No, I think it would do even better because then
you're telling people like, hey, we made this movie a
movie that we can't make nowadays. And then you'll have
other yeah, other people being like, oh, they're making movies
like I used to love in the seventies.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Sure right, Yeah, they're.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Making my blazing saddles now with the fart scene. Remember
the bean fart scene.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, it's world famous.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
What was a movie that your father showed you and
he told you ahead of time, this is the funniest
movie ever, and then you watched it and said, this
does not translate to me.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's a really good question. Caddy Shack's gotta be up
there as one that just always has never hit for me.
He showed me that Slapshot. Really, but Slapshot I really
like Slapshot. I love. I'm trying to think of like
a funny movie that just didn't quite hit because him
and I have very similar comedic tastes. Yeah, I don't know,

(29:07):
that's a good question of mine.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Might be when my mother, I think, showed me Take
the Money and Run. No, it might it's a Woody
Allen movie. But like you're showing a five or six
year old the Woody Allen movie. How am I supposed
to understand any of this?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And that's the exact audience that Woody Allen wats for
his movies too, Sha.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Boom news dope. Finally, the PlayStation is celebrating its thirtieth year.
Thirty years ago the first PlayStation was released. Did you
know that PlayStation was originally supposed to be an attachment
onto the N sixty four, but they couldn't figure out
a deal, so Sony went and made their own system

(29:46):
and took over the world.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
What year did N sixty four come out?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
It came out in ninebout six Okay, but they were
developing it earlier in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Though, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So through the years we
got the systems here ninety four, PlayStation one, I had that.
I don't think I had it in ninety four, probably
had it in ninety five or ninety six. PS two
and two thousand still to me, the greatest system of
all time.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Also the highest selling system of all time.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah. I had that until like two thousand and eight.
I had that for like eight years. Even after PS
three and Xbox three sixty came out. I still was
with the PS two Hero too. Yeah. Great game, great game,
played the best buy all the time. PSP the hand handmade, handmade,
hand held one.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
It was held elves, took it and they chiseled it
and then they handed it to you.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I never had the PSP. I also, I remember it
wasn't it stupid expensive? When it came out?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
It was. I got it one year for Christmas. I
got like one or two games, and I says, no,
it shouldn't have gotten yes.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
And it had like a two hour battery life on
it as well, which didn't help. PS three six. I
never had it. I never had it. It was competing
with Xbox three sixty, and I'm a big PlayStation guy.
Have PS five right now. Xbox three sixty was way
better than PS three. PSVN that came out in twenty
eleven didn't have that, And by twenty eleven, I wasn't
really into handheld things, like I'm supposed to be an adult.

(31:04):
Then I graduated college that year, so I guess it
wasn't playing handheld video games. And smartphones are a thing
then too, so that kind of crossed over. PS four
twenty thirteen. I got it like released day, super excited
about that.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
My mother had to go to Best Buy and write
me a check because my debit card did not go
up high enough.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
And then I had that for seven years until PS
five came out in twenty twenty. And PS four was
also a great system had a long shelf life. I
think the PS five is going to have a long
shelf life as well. So really, I mean talk about
the handhelds I guess, but really the only miss they've
had in thirty years is the PS three. The one
that likes.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Three was good. No, the PS three was good.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Definitively got dominated by three.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I wouldn't call it a No, that was not a loss.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
That was that was a guess.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I would say, like the psveta would be a loss
with a PSP.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, hang in helds. But the home console systems, I
would say, they're four and one against Xbox and they're
lone loss being three sixty.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I had the PS one where you would then flip
it open. You had like the clamshell and you could.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Play right on the back of it.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, that was nice. And with the PS three, I
was so excited. It was the release date of the
Peyton Hillis Madden, and I went and I bought it.
I was so excited to play it. I came home
Yellow Ring of Death on the PlayStation PlayStation three.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, oh well, there you go. I didn't know PlayStation
had issues like that. That did that did plague the
three sixty the Red Ring of Death, and yet it
still outsold the PS three.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
I had to buy one of the slims after that
just to play my Peyton Hellis Matten news Dope And finally, Mac,
can I get some recks from you on some movies
that are hiding streaming services this month?

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah? So before we do that, you really skipped over
one of the topics. Here is Star Wars Skeleton Crew,
premiered this week plus first two episodes are out and
everyone is liking it. Surprisingly, everyone in Star Wars is
liking it. Four percent from the critics, eighty six percent
from the audience, So I guess I'll check it out.

(33:05):
Apparently it's a Goonies like feel, so that always plays well.
Other shit streaming go. Two movies I just watched one
I really enjoyed. One was solid my old ass on
Prime starring Augli Plaza and a girl and know he's
ever heard of, but she's very good in it. I
would say one of the ten or so best movies
of the year.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Really good, took a nice twist at the end that
I really enjoyed, and nice, nice little life lesson. It's
a very good coming of age movie about appreciating things
while you're young and don't overlook the things that you
enjoy because they're not always going to be there.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Yeah, and I kept it small scale. The three or
four actors that are in it do a great job.
It's really well done. Transformers one is on Paramount Plus
right now, right now and right now, right now. In
it it's solid, it's got a really great conclusion. I
really enjoyed the final like twenty thirty minutes. Up until then,

(33:58):
I was like, ah, this is okay. So it's probably
in that like thirty range this week, maybe a little more. Yeah, RAPHI,
you'll probably really enjoy it. Beatle Juice, Beatle Juice. It's
HBO Max next week. And then there's a couple that
I have yet to see, movies that are getting a
lot of buzz that I'm going to see before the
end of the year. And by the way, I'm up
to an even forty movies. Try to get to fifty
before the end of the year, so I should be.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm at thirty five. I could be at thirty seven
if we count those Christmas movies.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Okay, all right, I don't know if I do.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Though.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Good there's a movie, and you maybe have seen this
over the last few weeks. I've been aware of it
because of TikTok for a couple months. A movie called
Anora starring Mikey Madison, who you would you would remember her.
She was one of the henchmen that breaks in at
the end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The
Dark aired one. She was also in Scream five. She's
one of the killers in Scream five spoiler alert, and

(34:48):
apparently she is possibly gonna win the Oscar for Best
Actress for this movie this year. So check out a Nora.
It's not streaming yet in what it is, it's probably
gonna be fifteen or twenty bucks to watch, but apparently
it's one of the better movies of the year. And
then two more that has gotten a lot of buzz
is Sing Sing that's streaming on Apple TV right now.
That if you have a subscription, that's free. And then

(35:10):
a movie called Kneecap, which I believe is an Irish
movie that you can watch for three or four bucks
right now. That's getting really good buzz. So if you're
looking for something to watch these next couple of weeks,
there you go.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
All right, So that'll check out or that'll do it
for this news dump check us out at the end
of the week for Mowana too. Scooby Do. They should
have had Scooby Do with the movie. Actually you haven't
seen it yet. That would have been a nice little
time a crossover event. I will say this is I
thought of you during the movie because they introduced Mowana's

(35:41):
little sister, and I said, did they do that? In
case they now lose Mowana, they have a replacement, Like
now that they've accepted her as a as a wayfinder
out on the sea, there's obviously a lot that could
go wrong in the sea. That's true, even when you
can control the CEA.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
So now you have a replacement, you have a So.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Here's a question, are they developing like a Frozen three?
If they are, they're gonna do a Malana three.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
They're so they are doing a Frozen three. I think
that because of the money here, they're definitely gonna do
a Majana three.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, that's true. But I know it is making Bukuo
bucks right now, Bukuo Banana bonanza.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Uh but Buckoo banana Bananza.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
No one's loving the movie though, you know what I mean.
So maybe it'll have a precipitous follow up.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
My kid loved it.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Okay, Well that's good. That's I mean, that's really where
you're going.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
For swash buckling advice.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
That's why the first one is so magical is because
the adults love the first one too.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Mm hmm, all right, whatever, We'll talk to you at
the end. Of the week for Majana to see you.
