Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hit us together and we're gonna start to party. Start.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm ready to party the Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
You don't even turn it on or go see it
if Juju Green doesn't tell us to do so or
what to watch. Guy is here again as he is
every Friday, Juju Green. Of course, our straw Goofy best friend.
You can do a search for it Juju Green or
straw Hat Goofy. He's everywhere, including our show.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Juju Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, you just said.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
That you were very very stoked for today's report. Why
what is going on? What do you have up your sleeve?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I am very very stoked.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
As a huge fan, I got three things for us
to watch, but we gotta start with the theaters as
I often do. But as a huge fan of the
Predator franchise, as a huge fan of the director Dan Trachenberg,
who's been killing it with the Predator franchise as of late,
we have a new movie coming out this weekend featuring
a Predator.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's called Predator.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Batlands, and this is actually a first for the entire franchise.
If you love Predator, you know it's mainly about an
alien comes to Earth. Stalks a bunch of people, kills
a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But this is the.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
First Alien Predator movie where the Yauja aka the Predator
is the main character. It's entirely from their perspective. It's
an action flick about a predator named Deck on his
first hunt, trying to prove himself because he's actually the
little of the Predator clan.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And so he really has to himself to his father.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's a predator with a debt with daddy issues which
we've never seen.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Wait, this is sounding like scary. He's a daddy with
predator issues anyway, but go right ahead. So from the
perspective of the Predator, this is a whole new way
of doing this.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
This is a whole new way of doing the story.
And for those for those who like have only been
used to seeing the Predator in a certain way, you'll
probably find it funny to know that the director Dan
Tratcherberg talked to James Cameron himself of Titanic and Avatar fame,
and James Cameron told him that it wouldn't work, and
then after seeing the movie he said, well, shit, that
actually worked. Sorry the radio, but after seeing the movie twice,
(02:19):
I can let you know that it does definitely work.
It's actually a surprisingly heartfelt story that I never thought
I would say when it comes to a Predator film.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So it's a lot to love about this movie.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
The action is top notch, the visuals are pretty amazing,
and it actually is a story about found family and
breaking away from the code of what you thought you was.
A very brutal character actually has some heart to it.
So I actually love Predator bad Lands. And this is
Dani Tratcherberg's third Predator movie, and I just want him
to keep making them till the end of time.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Wow, so this is the first Predator. It sounds like
that we're actually gonna like and have a connection with
the runt of the Predator group. Really right, Okay, so
Predator Badlands, Okay, what's.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
This next up? I actually just watched this movie last night.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I got this as a screener from Netflix and it
premieres on Netflix this Friday. It's called Train Dreams and
it is a fantastic movie. It's a huge Oscar contender.
I didn't know much about the movie going in, but
essentially what the story is about, it's about this logger
from I believe he's like in the nineteen twenties, and
(03:26):
it's this logger who essentially is about his life. He's
very isolated, he doesn't really have a lot of friends
to speak of, and then everything changes when he meets
a woman named Gladys, and so now his job which
takes him off to far away places and he pretty
much has to like walk back home for like long
periods of time.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He just wants to get back to his family. It's
very heartfelt.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It looks beautiful, like even when you're watching it at home,
it just made me wish I could watch it in
the theater because it just looks that gorgeous. It has
character has Joe Edgerton as the main character. Joe Edgerton's
the main character. You also have William H. Macy in
a very sweet role as the old man of the
longer crew and.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I love you some William H.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Macy as well as oh my god, I'm blinking on
the actresses name right now, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Felicity Jones is also playing Gladys in the movie. The
movie is so heartfelt. I can't stress how beautiful it looks.
And it's just a great meditation on life. On the
passage of time because the movie takes place over the
course of many decades, and how one life can be
affected by many different people, and how we can affect
other people's lives, and it's.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All done like.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Like the It's one of the best films that I've
seen this year, and I cannot stress that enough. I
think it might have cracked my.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Top ten in fun to watch. So Train Dream.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
You can watch it at any time, but just know
that when you do, you're probably gonna need some tissues
because it does the heart strings quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I love that, all right? What else you have? All right?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So this one is actually a series that just premiere.
You can watch it right now. It's called I Love
La and it's produced, written, and created by Rachel Sennett,
who's very young, but she really knows how to put
together a movie. She knows how to put together a series.
And this is essentially a series for the people who
are they got a little bit of a grudge against La.
(05:18):
It's almost a cynical take on La, like the inauthentic
nature of it, the influencers, the name dropping just like
it's and it's something for the La natives as well.
So it's basically a love letter portrait, cynical take on
the city because the city is very different different things.
And it follows a woman who's a social media manager
(05:38):
whose friend is a social media star, and her friends
who are just trying to make their way in this city.
And if you live in LA you'll get like the
funny inside jokes. There's this hilarious joke about someone coming
to New York wanting to go to the beach. The
LA people are like, oh no, that's a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You have to wake up at eight am.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
You gotta do this whole thing, Like nobody goes to
the beach unless like you're And it was just a
hilarious exchange. But as an LA native, you know, I
have a lot of feelings about it and I can't
wait to see, like what more they do throughout the
course of the season, because as an LA native, I
feel like there is a difference between people who moved
to LA and the people who've always been to LA,
(06:18):
and I feel like it's tackling all sides of that.
So that one's on HBO Max and it features a
really great cast who has really great chemistry, and I
would highly highly recommend you guys watching that first episode.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
All right, we have one more show coming up, and
Ghani's gonna cover that in a second. But to your
point about La and New York, it seems like La
and New York, more than any other cities in the world,
are characters in film and shows, TV shows in and
of themselves. I mean, and I love that in La,
you always know it. La has that special La thing,
in New York has that special New York thing. And
(06:52):
I love how in many movies I've seen, always thought
that the city itself was bigger than the actors that
were in those those At the same time, it's kind
of interesting. But okay, so you gave us a predator
bad Lands, which we need to see. I love I
love how you loved it. You're very passionate about how
you talked about it. Now, Gandhi, go ahead talk to
(07:12):
Juju about your discovery.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
So I need to know if you have any insight
information about why Ryan Murphy is raining terror upon us
with the things that he's putting out. So first it
was the Monster series, which the last one was crazy,
and now he hits us with this Kim Kardashian show.
All's fair, the promise of it is incredible, and then
(07:34):
I watched it and I would like to know from
you what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So Ryan Murphy, I fully agree with you.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
He does loves raining terror on people, and I think
I think he gets off on it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I think that's just like his personal thing.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
But it's so funny because he makes so many shows
that I don't even have on my radar, and I go, oh,
Ryan Murphy's at it again, right like Alexander Hamilton. So
I didn't really know about this show until I saw
the report on the Rotten Tomato School. That was my
(08:09):
first like brush against it. And apparently it debuts to
zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and I was like, I
didn't even know he was making this. So it seems
that there is a bit of terror when it comes
to this show, just not for the reasons that we're
used to from Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Right, it was wild, Well, I'll just say that it
was wild.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And you know what's crazy about it?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So it's about a group of women who make their
own law firm, and you can see that there are
some parallels to her life, and there are really good
actresses in this. You've got Naomi Watts, you've got Glenn
close and then you've got Kim. It's just you know,
I read the same thing you read, which is what
made me go watch it, and I thought why.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I'm pretty sure they built the show around Kim because,
if I remember from Keeping up with the Kardashians, after
she did his other show, he wanted to work with
her again, and so he was trying to figure out
what he could do Wow and her.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You know, Wow, it's so flat to watch this now.
I gotta see just how bad this is, Like you
see what you just did? What?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
This is what you just did?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Talking about zero zero percent on on on rotten tomatoes
and telling us how bad it is.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We all have to watch it and cutting our.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Guy that shows up every week to tell us to
tell us what to watch. Now we want him to
watch something you don't want him to tell us to watch.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
I think it's a moment in pop culture that everyone
needs to absorbing years.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Madam Webb, you have to see it.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, you might. You might just have to watch it
to be like what.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh can I ask a question too?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Did you just said, Madam? What happened to Kiss of
the Spider Woman with Jennifer Lopez. It came and went
with a blink that was crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Wait wait he came out.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes, it was just done already.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Sorry, yeah, yeah, I forgot it came out. Actually, I
remember when a cave and I forgot that it was.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Did you see it?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Did not see it?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Okay, okay, I guess it came and went out of
my mind as well.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You pretty much answered your own question, Danielle. It came anyway,
so Juju Green of course, search for straw Hat Goofy.
He's everywhere and on your socials, and of course his
podcast is doing great. What to watch every week. We
don't go anywhere near anything unless you tell us too.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Juju. Thanks for coming in. We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Thank you, guys, and we also have a great interview
on the podcast this week with the director of Batlands,
Dan Trachenberg, So make sure you guys check that out
to get some actual fun Easter eggs about stranger things.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Days twenty days away or like nineteen.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We'll be talking about that in a couple of weeks.
All right, thank you, having a great weekend, all right,
thank you. Els After Party
