Speaker 1 (00:01):
Put your head us together, and we're gonna start to
party and.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Start part I'm reading a party.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
See Elvis Duran after Party in Every Party podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Every week we talked to Juju Green talking about what's
coming out this weekend. Juju Green, by the way, we're
falling in love with him. Every time we talk to him,
we fall in love a little bit more. And at
the end of this conversation about what we're watching in
the theaters and streaming, I want to tell everyone where
they can see you all over the place. Okay, remind
me before you leave.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, all right, it sounds great, sounds great.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
What are we looking at this weekend, Juju? We need
something to do.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
There's two things you can actually check out in the
theaters this weekend on one of which is my second
favorite movie this year, only under centers honestly, The Long
Walk Man.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It is the truth, It is amazing.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It is one of five Stephen King adaptations, and in
my opinion, it's the best one. The Long Walk is
directed by Francis Lawrence. It's based on a book that
may or may not have been the first Stephen King
book ever written. He published it in nineteen seventy nine
under the name Richard Bachman, along with The Runningman, which
also comes out later this year. But this movie, guys,
(01:16):
I cannot speak highly more highly about this movie. It
is absolutely intense. It is insane, it is brutal, but
you also get a twinge of hope. You'll laugh, you'll cry,
it's nasty, it's so many things wrapped into one, and
it's one of Stephen King's best adaptations like that you'll
ever see right up there to Me with Shawshank, Redemption
(01:39):
stand by Me, and it has a little bit of
those influences as well. It's just a great film.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Can you give us a hint about what it's about
without giving too much away?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Oh? Absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's basically kind of like a dystopian set thriller about
these boys who enter into this competition. Now, once they
enter into the competition, the goal is to just walk
as long as you can, and you have to do
it at three miles an hour. If you dip below
those three miles an hour, or if you stop, you
get three warnings. After the third warning, you get eliminated,
(02:09):
and not just eliminated from the game, but you also
get eliminated from life.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So it is.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It is a last boys standing competition. And there's the
difference between most of these like dystopian competition things like
the Hunger Games and Battle Royale, is that essentially these
boys are not necessarily out to get each other. Everyone
knows what the score is. No one's trying to deceive
each other. They are actually doing the opposite. They're actually
(02:36):
trying to help each other and uplift each other on
the way, And that is what separates this movie from
other dystopian competition killer on the On, Oh, I forgot
to say, they're on TV too.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
This is a competition.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The camera, the fun.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
They literally have a convoy with a camera on it,
like capturing the whole thing. But that's not the main
thing of the movie. It's about these boys on this walk.
It's highly focused on this on this like moment in
time with these characters, and that is what separates this
movie from the other like kind of dystopian weird TV
live competitions that you'll see.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I can feel it's.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Bad, I can feel this is an intense film. I'm
in a vomit after it's over, probably scared. You would
go like a block and a half.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So there was a cup.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
So this you say that there was a couple of
things that that we should bring up when talking about
this movie.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Number One, there were people whose heart rate.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Were rising so much that they almost had a heart
attack watching this movie because of how intense it is.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is very much intense. You see it all.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And then the second thing is is that there I
don't know if you've heard about this, but there were
screenings where people were walking on treadmills and they had
to keep walking during the duration of the movie, and
if you gave up or stopped, then you were escorted.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Out of the theater and couldn't finish the film as.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well dieuch like in the movie The Guy.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
With the Gun, there's there's a guy with a gun,
like right behind you.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I think, I think I gotta wait for a couple
of weekends before I watch this. There's enough going on
in the world. It's making me crazy. Okay, there's the
longest walk, the long Walk, The long Walk, the long Walk.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
All right, Okay, highly recommend uh if you're an anime
fan or if you're just a fan of animation. Deem
Ben Slayer actually has a new movie, which, in my opinion,
is kind of like one.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Of the big movies.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Of this year, because you know, obviously we've had animation
movies before. Studio Ghibli kind of corners to market on that,
like The Boy in the Heron was one of the
more recent ones. But Demon Slayer is a very popular
anime that has a very huge film in the theater
right now. It's the first one of a trilogy and
it's also used as a wrap up for the series.
I'm not caught up with the series where it's got
(04:49):
me a lot of side eyes at the theater. I
went to the premiere a couple of days ago, but honestly,
in a vacuum. It is a fantastic, fantastic story, incredible animation.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
My eye were popping out of my head.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Is It essentially follows the story of Tanjudo, who lives
in a world where demons exist and they terrorize his village,
They terrorize the towns around him, and his sister ends
up getting bitten and she gets turned into a demon.
So in order to protect her, he becomes a demons
slayer in the hopes to find a cure.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But there are also kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Like demons who want her, they need her, and so
he's basically joining these other clans to fight back. So
even though this is kind of like the conclusion of
the big story, I know there's three movies coming out,
with the second one coming out in a couple of years,
I still didn't feel lost. It was just really cool
to get lost in the artistry of the movie, the
action of the movie, and a lot of the characters
(05:43):
that they focus on in this film. There's a lot
of backstory as well that you get to just kind
of like, you know, get thrown into and you still
care about these characters. I was afraid that I was
going to be left behind, and I wasn't. It is
a fantastic movie Demon It's called Demaslayer Kametsu no Yeba Castle.
It's absolutely insane. So for the anime fans, this is
(06:04):
for you. I'm putting some people on, but seriously, maybe
this will get you guys into the anime series. So
Demon Slayer commits to No Yeba Infinity Castle just opened
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, so the Long Walk and Demon Slayer so far,
and these are both in theaters.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
These are both in theaters.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know what's going on here? Juju Green, by the way,
is on with us. He'll be with us every week
talking about the films. Last week when we talked to you,
you started to actually maybe want to go to a
theater again, because I'm one of the many people who
hasn't been to the theater since pandemic. Seriously, I kid you, not,
yes there there.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You got to man, like, come on, it's the communal experience.
Like it's nothing like like watching the movie theater with
some watching a movie with some strangers and just kind
of like experiencing something like amazingly awesome. But also, if
if another treat with this Demonslayer movie, ninety percent of
the people in the theater are gonna be fans and
they're gonna be cheering. It's gonna be loud, and you're
gonna feel like you're a part of something bigger, even
(06:56):
though you may not be a part of the series itself.
It may make you want to work series. So I
think that's the cool thing about these theater things. But
I do have a streaming thing for you to watch
as well, if you guys got the time, got t well,
I just watched Friendship on HBO Max. That's an eight
twenty four movie. Have you guys seen Friendship at all
or heard of Friendship.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I've seen the previews for it, and I've heard a
lot of interesting things about it, but no, I haven't
watched it yet.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, so we have Paul Rudd and I believe his
name is Tim Robertson.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
He is kind of like the brain Tim Robin, right.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, he is the man behind the show I Think
you should leave on Netflix, which is a sketch comedy
show that really specialized range comedy. It's basically every every
sketch is designed to make you cringe more and more and.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
More we watch. Yeah, it's great, it's a great show.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, so is this Friendship? Is that cringe worthy as well?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It is very, very very cringe worthy.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Cringe like.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The way I describe it is if you took Ari Aster,
director of Hereditary amidst some are if you had him
direct either one of those sketches or the movie I
Love You Man, which Paul Rudd is also.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
A part of.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And essentially the story is about this guy. He has
a wife, he has a son, and he's kind of
like a little off, you know, he's kind of a
little awkward. He just really wants like some friends because
he doesn't have a lot of friends to kind of like,
you know, call his own.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And he run. He runs across Paul.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Rudd, who just moved into his neighborhood, and quickly becomes
obsessed with this guy because he really wants this guy
to be his friend. So it gives thriller vibes, but
it's very comedic, and there's multiple scenes where Tim is
just he's just so weird, so like he is just
trying to freak you out, gross you out. And just
(08:48):
as he's like kind of like weird to the people
around him, he'll also make you just look at him
like what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Bro?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And he just digs himself a hole further and further
into every scene that he's in. It's it's incredible, it's larious.
I don't know if I'm down for like multiple.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Movies in this way.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Like it's a very unique brand of humor, but I
think it works for his style of comedy. I think
he's the only one who could really do this in
a feature length format where usually we see.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It in skits.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Also, you were right, it's Tim Robinson. But I wanted
to ask you a question in the exact opposite direction
of everything that we're talking about, what has come out
this year that you thought was overhyped and just now
don't waste your time seeing this.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh my god, Eddington, Eddington Bye.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We talked about ari I just talked about ari Astor
if he would have directed Friendship, but Eddington just it
was something that I was like really excited about.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I would say I was kind of disappointed with it.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's a very divisive film, so like either you really
love it or you really hate it, Like you know,
it's really like dividing friendships right now, No pun intended,
but the.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Story just felt like it had a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Of everything, but it was saying nothing right Like, even
if I was to describe the story to you, like
think I would be doing it a disservice. But essentially
it is a commentary on antifa, on activist culture, social
media culture. It's also set during the pandemic, which kind
(10:15):
of which is a kind of a weird thing, and
I just don't know what it's trying to say. The
performances are great. The tone of it is very eerie,
just like an Ari Astro film, but it's almost like
a dark comedy satire on kind of like the day
and age that we're living in.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And just like it's the movie's all kicked off. We don't,
we don't.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
The movie's kicked off by waking Phoenix who doesn't want
to wear a mask. That's how the movie that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So, speaking of dividing friendships, this movie divided friendships here
in the studio. What did you think of Happy Gilmore two?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm divided within myself on that movie.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Because, like, on one hand, I love it right, Like
on one hand because I really love Adam Sandler's brand
of humor right, and I'm a huge fan of Happy Gilmore.
That may be my favorite Adam Sandler film of all time,
along with water Boy.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But water Boy is incredible comedic Genie.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Those words before I Am Mama said alligators are so
ornery because you know, they got all the teeth and
no toothbrush. But with Happy Gilmour, like, you know, you
put those films side by side, and it's just you
could just see the evolution in Adam Sandler's kind of
like mindset and how he does comedy, and it seems
(11:34):
just a little bit more goofyer, a little bit more
nonsensical and a little bit just kind of like it's
weird because everybody has a kid and Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's like the comedy.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It's like, oh, all the characters you knew from the
first one, they magically have a kid that they never
said anything about in this movie, and they're here to
help Happy and then there's a weird sport Ben.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Safti has doodoo breath. It's just it's dumb humor that.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I laugh at and I will watch again. Let me
be clear, I will be watching it again because it
is funny. But at the same time, I was like,
we could do better, and I think Adam knows he
could do better, but I don't think he cares.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
At this point. I respect him for even putting it out.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yeah, we had brawls in here.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We did it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I enjoyed watching Wait, who's on what side now?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed seeing it because I
love the original, but it was it was very inside
when it came like to the professional golfers.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And I was like, Okay, it felt like that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But you hated it.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
No, No, I I was the one who actually I
liked it because I said I expected nothing from a
sequel to Happy Gilmore twenty years later. I expected nothing,
maybe thirty years however long it was nothing. So because
I expected nothing, it was great. It was fine.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But there is a.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Guy in our studio who loved Happy Gilmore so much
and he just absolutely despised this and thought it went
in the wrong direction. How horrible it should have been
all about Shooter. Shooter was hilarious, and you know it
turned into quite thes great.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Shooter is great. He's one of my favorite villains in film.
I still do the villain.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He's the gorilla to fill of golf. So Juju Green
is giving us three the long walk in theaters. Uh,
Demon Slayer can met Sue no Ya the movie Infinity Castle.
I don't know, it makes you want to go. I
don't think I got that right. And you're for streaming friendship.
(13:31):
That's something we want at home in HBO Max Juju Green,
it's so great to have you here. I hope you
have the best week ever. Next week we want to
hear some more from you. So h So, you know,

Every week we talked to Juju Green talking about what's
coming out this weekend. Juju Green, by the way, we're
falling in love with him. Every time we talk to him,
we fall in love a little bit more. And at
the end of this conversation about what we're watching in
the theaters and streaming, I want to tell everyone where
they can see you all over the place. Okay, remind
me before you leave.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, all right, it sounds great, sounds great.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
What are we looking at this weekend, Juju? We need
something to do.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
There's two things you can actually check out in the
theaters this weekend on one of which is my second
favorite movie this year, only under centers honestly, The Long
Walk Man.
Speaker 1 (00:52):

under the name Richard Bachman, along with The Runningman, which
also comes out later this year. But this movie, guys,
(01:16):
I cannot speak highly more highly about this movie. It
is absolutely intense. It is insane, it is brutal, but
you also get a twinge of hope. You'll laugh, you'll cry,
it's nasty, it's so many things wrapped into one, and
it's one of Stephen King's best adaptations like that you'll
ever see right up there to Me with Shawshank, Redemption

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, so we have Paul Rudd and I believe his
name is Tim Robertson.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
He is kind of like the brain Tim Robin, right.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, he is the man behind the show I Think

Speaker 1 (07:44):
More we watch. Yeah, it's great, it's a great show.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, so is this Friendship? Is that cringe worthy as well?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It is very, very very cringe worthy.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Cringe like.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The way I describe it is if you took Ari Aster,
director of Hereditary amidst some are if you had him
direct either one of those sketches or the movie I
Love You Man, which Paul Rudd is also.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
A part of.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And essentially the story is about this guy. He has
a wife, he has a son, and he's kind of
like a little off, you know, he's kind of a
little awkward. He just really wants like some friends because
he doesn't have a lot of friends to kind of like,
you know, call his own.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And he run. He runs across Paul.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Rudd, who just moved into his neighborhood, and quickly becomes
obsessed with this guy because he really wants this guy
to be his friend. So it gives thriller vibes, but
it's very comedic, and there's multiple scenes where Tim is
just he's just so weird, so like he is just
trying to freak you out, gross you out. And just
(08:48):
as he's like kind of like weird to the people
around him, he'll also make you just look at him
like what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Bro?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And he just digs himself a hole further and further
into every scene that he's in. It's it's incredible, it's larious.
I don't know if I'm down for like multiple.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Movies in this way.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Like it's a very unique brand of humor, but I
think it works for his style of comedy. I think
he's the only one who could really do this in
a feature length format where usually we see.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It in skits.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Also, you were right, it's Tim Robinson. But I wanted
to ask you a question in the exact opposite direction
of everything that we're talking about, what has come out
this year that you thought was overhyped and just now
don't waste your time seeing this.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh my god, Eddington, Eddington Bye.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We talked about ari I just talked about ari Astor
if he would have directed Friendship, but Eddington just it
was something that I was like really excited about.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I would say I was kind of disappointed with it.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's a very divisive film, so like either you really
love it or you really hate it, Like you know,
it's really like dividing friendships right now, No pun intended,
but the.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Story just felt like it had a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Of everything, but it was saying nothing right Like, even
if I was to describe the story to you, like
think I would be doing it a disservice. But essentially
it is a commentary on antifa, on activist culture, social
media culture. It's also set during the pandemic, which kind
(10:15):
of which is a kind of a weird thing, and
I just don't know what it's trying to say. The
performances are great. The tone of it is very eerie,
just like an Ari Astro film, but it's almost like
a dark comedy satire on kind of like the day
and age that we're living in.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And just like it's the movie's all kicked off. We don't,
we don't.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
The movie's kicked off by waking Phoenix who doesn't want
to wear a mask. That's how the movie that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So, speaking of dividing friendships, this movie divided friendships here
in the studio. What did you think of Happy Gilmore two?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm divided within myself on that movie.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Because, like, on one hand, I love it right, Like
on one hand because I really love Adam Sandler's brand
of humor right, and I'm a huge fan of Happy Gilmore.
That may be my favorite Adam Sandler film of all time,
along with water Boy.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But water Boy is incredible comedic Genie.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Those words before I Am Mama said alligators are so
ornery because you know, they got all the teeth and
no toothbrush. But with Happy Gilmour, like, you know, you
put those films side by side, and it's just you
could just see the evolution in Adam Sandler's kind of
like mindset and how he does comedy, and it seems
(11:34):
just a little bit more goofyer, a little bit more
nonsensical and a little bit just kind of like it's
weird because everybody has a kid and Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's like the comedy.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It's like, oh, all the characters you knew from the
first one, they magically have a kid that they never
said anything about in this movie, and they're here to
help Happy and then there's a weird sport Ben.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Safti has doodoo breath. It's just it's dumb humor that.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I laugh at and I will watch again. Let me
be clear, I will be watching it again because it
is funny. But at the same time, I was like,
we could do better, and I think Adam knows he
could do better, but I don't think he cares.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
At this point. I respect him for even putting it out.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yeah, we had brawls in here.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We did it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I enjoyed watching Wait, who's on what side now?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed seeing it because I
love the original, but it was it was very inside
when it came like to the professional golfers.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And I was like, Okay, it felt like that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But you hated it.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
No, No, I I was the one who actually I
liked it because I said I expected nothing from a
sequel to Happy Gilmore twenty years later. I expected nothing,
maybe thirty years however long it was nothing. So because
I expected nothing, it was great. It was fine.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But there is a.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Guy in our studio who loved Happy Gilmore so much
and he just absolutely despised this and thought it went
in the wrong direction. How horrible it should have been
all about Shooter. Shooter was hilarious, and you know it
turned into quite thes great.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Shooter is great. He's one of my favorite villains in film.
I still do the villain.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He's the gorilla to fill of golf. So Juju Green
is giving us three the long walk in theaters. Uh,
Demon Slayer can met Sue no Ya the movie Infinity Castle.
I don't know, it makes you want to go. I
don't think I got that right. And you're for streaming friendship.
(13:31):
That's something we want at home in HBO Max Juju Green,
it's so great to have you here. I hope you
have the best week ever. Next week we want to
