Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Print
does that. I'm on crypt Oh that was my favorite
song for uh much of like the first five years
after it came out. I love that song. So I'll
be on it all night, man, I'd be on it
all day, straight up. Pamp if you want me, you
(00:22):
can find me in the Hey, Hey, I'm on it.
I'm on That's just when when it does that part
really feels like you can just like throw whatever's in
your hands in the air and go back to two
thousand five. Yeah, yeah, I am Jack. You are mild.
And hey, here are a couple of things that are trending,
(00:45):
uh that I feel like everybody, uh, all your most
like basic relatives are going to have some opinions on. Uh.
Let's start with John Gruden. Uh So, what's what's going
on with this Gruden guy? I mean, what wasn't ex wait,
I mean he he wasn't even working for the team,
(01:05):
and they're they're finding some emails this communist China. So
this is the coach of the for like non sports people,
this is the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. He
is widely regarded as like the most overpaid coach. He
was on a ten year, one million dollar contract, which
(01:27):
when they signed it, everyone was like, well, huh um,
he had to deal with the Raiders. That was his
deal with the Raiders. Yet, oh my god. So there's
plenty of reasons for like them to be very happy
that they got out of this, but they were. He
was four years into it. They didn't have much success.
They were doing okay so far this year three and one.
(01:47):
But he had success in the early two thousands. Uh,
then retired and became a commentator for Like, if you
listened to his commentating, you were like, wow, that this
is this person does not know, Like it's just not
not the sharpest tool and the sharpest football on Yeah,
(02:11):
not the sharpest football on the bag of footballs. And uh.
And then so when they offered him that deal, I
was like, wow, that's amazing that they were that impressed
by seeing his mind at work. But anyways, in two
thousand eleven sent some wildly offensive emails racist, uh, sexist, homophobic, transphobic,
(02:34):
and they recently came to light, and uh he stepped
down or was asked to resign. It's kind of not
clear at this point. He has I think the only
openly gay player in the NFL on his team, He
why would you ever want to play for this guy?
Like he yeah, because he said some ship about Michael
(02:56):
sam too, right, that's like what he was referring to,
and some with other Yeah, we fucking ignorant ship. He
was saying, yeah, and just wildly raised his ship. Uh.
And you know he like that any questions that people
have about like oh, like they're acting as though he
(03:18):
was disqualified on a technicality from doing a job, he
was going to continue to be just the same in
terms of effectiveness, Like he there's no way that anybody
would want to see his fucking face, Like, and he's
supposed to be like a leader of this tea like
so just on that basis, like of course he's gonna
(03:40):
fucking resign. Like I think everybody who is like, oh ship,
this is this bullshit is just like picturing this happening
to them. I feel like, like I think, upfair, This
is like another way I've seen men kind of cape
for this kind of ship. Because if you played sports
in the nineties is in prior yo, you would get
(04:03):
fucking screamed at, You would be called all kinds of
terrible things that you should not be saying at adults,
let alone children, because there's like this mentality of like
this hyper aggressive coaching style. And I see a lot
of people, like even people I know who grew up
playing football, who are like, well, god, they wouldn't want
(04:24):
to know what happened with my coach. And I get
that's like, I get that that may have been something
that happened to you when you're younger and having a
like a super screaming, toxic coach and things like that,
but there's also like that's not the only way to
motivate someone. And I think I'm curious to know if this,
if this does bring up a larger thing. Was like, well,
(04:45):
this is pretty normal in football because football is pretty
a gro hyper masculine, toxic and the way in which
we compel these athletes to to motivate them is to
emasculate them. You these toxic tropes or whatever race, whatever
the case, maybe just to rile them up, you know,
just to get them fired up. You know that's that
(05:07):
I don't mean that stuff, just to get them fired up?
When you know, does that mean we'll be able to say, like, actually,
there are more effective ways of motivating people, and it
doesn't involve violently yelling shit in their face, yeah, or
having that personality to be a good coach. The NBA
UH left that ship behind a long time ago. Like
and any coach who like is known for like shouting
(05:31):
at the players and like being a hardass, like they
burn their way out of them be a long time ago.
And like the people who just treat the players like
fucking professionals and like geniuses at the sports that they play,
UH usually does better. Gruden is definitely a hold over.
Like I feel like there aren't that many like animated
(05:52):
aggro NFL coaches anymore. But yeah, like I don't know,
it's I remember even my grandfather, right, he could he
could barely seek, but he could be like, oh Gruden,
he's mad. That's like the one he would always be like,
Oh Gruden's mean. I don't know if I like him,
he's mean. Uh. And but I mean, what was the
(06:14):
only thing was it? What he just won with the Buccaneers.
Is that like his heyday? Yeah? Yeah, one with the bus.
I mean that's I see, I remember that ship. I'm
not with NFL like that against the Raiders. I think
in the in the Super Bowl, So he kind of
did a two for where he was complaining like making
fun of people wanting the Washington football team's name changed
(06:36):
from a racist slur and said that they should spend
time in the Concussion Protocol tent because he was against concussion,
like treating players who have just gotten a concussion, uh sensitivities.
So um. But his defeats for the concussion thing was
that he was on a mission to get more children
(06:58):
playing football at the high schoo full age at the time,
so like that was his defense. It was like, sorry,
you know, I was just trying to get parents to
not be scared to have their kids go out there
and get uh, you know, injuries to their brain. It's
just it's a do you hate to see when a
(07:19):
dinosaur self owns with an asteroid made of their own emails? Beautiful?
Let the evolution continue. Um. Anyways, another award winning dipshit,
Dean Kane, is pissed that Superman came out as Byers.
The heck is going on here? My Superman, my super
(07:43):
my Superman a by Superman. Goodness gracious. Yeah, He's just
like he's really mad because DC Comics they're like, yeah,
Superman is bisexual, great cool people. There's so many human
beings on Earth. Well, I had to see more diverse
portrayals of superheroes rather than like superheroes can only be
(08:05):
siss het dudes. Okay, and Dean Kane came out and
basically saying some ship like you know, this is this
like reeks of them? He's a quote. It isn't bold
or brave and just acting like oh, they're just cave
into the pressures and like this is you know, just
all this tired aus culture worshiped because that's where Dean
Kane is, right, um, and like, let's people you act
(08:29):
like people, look people maybe like the first season fucking
h what was it Lois and Clark. I wanted to say,
small Bill, but it was even less relevant, stopp putting
people of Japanese descent to shame. Dean Kane's set your
Eyes down full Yeah that's plenty uh and then that's
plenty on Dean Kane. And then Black China was that
(08:51):
the Miami Airport screaming about the vaccine and how good
it is? Yeah, actually I'm like you're like, oh no,
come on, don't be another rap rap lady h on
the wrong side of this vaccine debate. Who's about to
go and Tucker Carlson, I just want you to hear this,
because she went like, I don't there's a she must
(09:13):
have been talking for a minute because her people, like
her bodyguards and like her manager or whatever, like, yo,
we gotta go to the driver. And that's sort of
like I don't give a funk about the driver. And
she might be talking to a specific person or just
generally being like, y'all need to get this vaccine. Uh um.
(09:47):
So yeah, she's talking to like a TMZ reporter, or
she's just kind of holding court in she I don't
know who she's there's a lot of angles of this.
Every time I've seen it. She's just yelling off off camera.
So I don't know if someone, you know, it could
be one of those things where someone just guys gets
you fucked up and now you're just going off just
(10:09):
in general, letting people know who the funk you are,
As she said, I'm from d C Bob to Miami
to l A. Okay, it's real rap shit um. Or
you know, maybe she's overheard someone having an attitude about
vaccines or something. But I don't know like she said,
go get vaccinated and stop being stupid. Ho I mean
(10:30):
the way anti baxes are. I'm sure somebody said some
ship to her, you know, right, it just seems like
the the way it goes. I was just talking to
somebody who was like, I just had to have like
a half hour conversation with somebody in a meeting about
fucking Dean Kane. It's just people, really, they want you
(10:52):
to know how stupid they are. Um, all right, let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
And uh, Kyrie is trending because the nets GM Sean
(11:15):
marks Uh is basically saying he's not on the team
if he's not gonna get the vaccine and only play
part time. Like it's just not a not a thing
we can do. Sorry, Kyrie. We're looking for full time
positions on this very expensive basketball team. We can't just
(11:35):
have someone coming with a half order. Um. And the
whole thing was sort of like, it's not fair to
the other players. Were trying to cultivate a championship team,
and by doing that, that means everyone has to be
on the same page and it's just not gonna work
to have someone only available for half the ship because
you're refusing to get vaccinated. Um and then you're just
(11:58):
willing to stick to that. I don't know what this is.
I don't know what's gonna come with this. I don't
know if he retired. We were talking to DJ Dramas
are the producer NETS fan, and I was just like,
what do you what do you think about this? This
fucking sucks huh for y'all? But like at the same
fire voice, it's like your big three might just be
(12:20):
a big two. No, but more than that, like you
know that Kyrie is the kind of person who I
could believe either scenario that he would get vaccinated, Like
all right, man, like let's just focus on the season,
Like that's that's a review, Like let's just go forward.
Or he's like, no, I will retire and I will
that's this is where I'm willing to go with it.
(12:42):
Or I'll play in China or something and go get
a check. Um Man, he get a fucking check. Though
out there he is the top twenty player in the
n b A and the Nets might still be the
favorites to win it even without like that, I mean,
but they are hardened and KD are Harden and Kadie
(13:04):
that that seems pretty good to top five guys, they
might be all right. Also, Ben Simmons, reported to The Sixers,
said he was trying to make a prove a point
with his absence and you know, missing out a training camp,
and I don't know, you know, it's probably point taken.
(13:26):
I guess it's going to be. You know, Philadelphia fans
are the most forgiving of people, and they are we're
already starting for Ben Simmons chance at a wrestling event. Um,
they burned the jersey as they second even thought about
(13:47):
missing camp. I remember then it's a tough sell because
he did just was kind of one of the main
reasons that the team that seemed promising was first in
the East, you know, went out in the second round again. Um,
so they're already like looking for a reason to be
mad at him. And then he says he would never
(14:09):
want to play for the team, and you know, it's
a it's a toxic cocktail. I I see it from
his like he's in a very shitty situation. Yeah, I
don't I don't love it. Maybe Ben Simmons and Kyrie
should just both retire, you know, they go to China. Man,
(14:30):
get the check. There you go. But I do think
part of the Kyrie thing is he doesn't really like
basketball that much at this stage. What do you think
he'd rather be doing? I don't know, like train modeling.
He goes into the model train business with Neil Young.
Neil Young owns like the type of train that I
(14:54):
have bought the most for my train obsessed son. He
owns he owns the company like the toy the toymaker. Yeah,
it's called Lionel. It's been around since like the and
Neil Young is now the owner of the company. Yeah,
because he's like he got super into trains. I think
he has a son who is autistic and was really
(15:17):
into trains, and so he just went all in and
just bought the fucking company, which is pretty cool. Yeah,
he's like, I may say more money if you own
the company. Yeah. Scream there's a new trailer for Scream
part This is four right, Scream five? Got it? Uh?
(15:38):
And it looks like a screen movie um for our
modern era. Though I was like I was waiting. I
was like, I hope that they have something that indicates that, uh,
it's happening now. And the Killer Ghost face, which is
the name I don't subscribe to because there's only one
(15:59):
true ghost face in my of mine. But that's what
people call him. Go Smith Dennis Coles exactly technology. He's
good at a technology now so's he'll hack the shift
out of your simplest safe home security system unless you
have that VPN on it hashtag ad um. But yeah,
(16:19):
I don't know he's I was like, where are the
elderly people at? And then they appeared, Courteney Cox, David
Arquette and Nev Campbell, who must have hopped in off
a fucking time machine. Look pretty good, but neveryone looks
so healthy. Nev Campbell, I'm like, wow, look what happens
when because she retired from acting because she was like, no, man,
I'm I can't really, I'm not really with this Hollywood
(16:40):
hit and it looks like the greatest thing anyone can
do for the He turns out, yeah, I'm healthy, but
I'm I'm actually for I don't know, shout out the
Canadian god, Nev. But I I'm like very interested in
it because I haven't seen her face in so long. Yes,
Nev Campbell, Yes, okay, go on, I will buy a
(17:03):
ticket to this. Have you watched all the Screams. I've
watched the first damn yeah, watched the first four? Uh
four hours really based off the edible. I saw three
in the theater. I saw the first three in theaters,
(17:23):
though fourth, no, I disrespected. That's when Blockbuster used to
send you DVDs like Netflix and ship. Oh. I think
maybe that's where I saw No. Wait, am I even
thinking correctly? Anyway? It was something called it Scream for
ice cream. No, it wasn't. Maybe that was Scream three
that I saw like that? Whatever was? I've seen the four,
I've seen the fourth, but not in any meaningful one.
(17:45):
Scream four ice cream like ice cream? You scream? We
all scream for ice cream? Ice scream. Okay, that's what
they should have called it. We should call Dimension films.
Don't know about that, called men films with that joke
for me. U uh. And finally, let's talk about the
box office. Uh, there is just the lowest stake story
(18:10):
of all time. But people don't know what to make
of Uh the latest James Bond movies turn at the
box office? Was it bofo miles not? Did it fall
fall short? Did it fall flat? A lot? Of reports,
a lot of headlines. First sign of turbulence at the
box office. No Time to Die uh pulled in fifty
(18:31):
six million dollars domestically, um, which is a problem because
it costs I think two hundred and eighty million dollars
to make somehow you know, it's only slightly short of
industry projections, which are we're between sixty and seventy. It's
been doing incredibly well everywhere except the United States. Skyfall,
which is the highest grossing bond, only made like twenty
(18:53):
seven percent of its money uh in in the US.
And they're also saying bonds audience skews older than like
your typical Marvel movies, and older people might be more
reluctant to go to the movies right now for some reason. Yeah,
and we need to cut their unemployment benefits. Then the
(19:13):
vote to the theater. Thank you. Uh. But it's I
don't know, it's weird because a lot of like when
Black Widow came out, it got really good publicity for
making sixty million dollars, which is you might notice as
basically the same as the bond one, and then it
(19:35):
had a drop off at the box office the following week.
And they're like Disney's Black Widow Gamble didn't pay off,
but the first thing you like, we love it. How
the secret behind the success of the big debut shang
Chi was like I thought, a major success story, but
then people were also saying, like it wasn't it didn't
perform well, um, and I don't know, it's just it's
(20:00):
I think basically what we're seeing is that nobody knows
what to make of box office performance like now, because
we have so few, um, you know, examples to to
work from, like the sample sizes very small of movies
released post pandemic and we're still in the pandemic, so right, like, uh,
(20:20):
it's it's a moving target being shot by a not
particularly skilled marksman. Right, So I wonder what if this
will change the way studios even think about films or
how to release content, because you'll look at something then
where it's like squid game that has like the ubiquity
that a film would like just be you know, sacrifice
(20:41):
their children for. Yeah, it's like funk man. Do we
just play like like low ball, you know, small ball
and just get these fucking laser guided hits? Or do
we keep putting out these fucking massive outlays of cash
for these tent pole films and then just like pray
to our the altar of wild sacrifice that we can
cover the budget plus marketing costs. It's like, on the
(21:05):
one hand, I would love a world where, you know,
blockbusters were just like a couple every summer that like
costs over a hundred million, and then everything else was
just like cool movie ideas made with like movies rather
than four dusted off I p reboots. But on the
other hand, I do need every movie I watched to
(21:25):
culminate with a portal in the sky and those cost money.
Those are those are pretty pracy. Um. I have an
app that will do that. Actually, so you can you
can enjoy any film. Um, Sarah with Whoopie Goldberg, I
can make a fucking portal come out the sky in
Africa out of nowhere. Wow. Um. I heard the movie
(21:47):
is good, though the Bond movie, I've heard mixed things,
but I've heard pretty good things from people whose taste
of respect, So okay, okay. I was just that it
doesn't excite me the last since that. Yeah, I just
always catch him on DVD now or like at home.
I haven't I haven't gotten my stinking asked with theater
(22:09):
for a bond from you, like the line of thinking
or like one of the actual like threads in the
movies starting I think, like with the second ding O,
Craig Bond was like he's too old, he's too out
of shape to be a spy, like we gotta he's
gotta hang it up. It was like three movies ago,
(22:31):
like I don't I don't know how they picked someone
older than dating I mean, you know anyways, that is
gonna do it for us this Tuesday, October twelve. We
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
(22:52):
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about way supremacy, and
we'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Print

(00:22):
can find me in the Hey, Hey, I'm on it.
I'm on That's just when when it does that part
really feels like you can just like throw whatever's in
your hands in the air and go back to two
thousand five. Yeah, yeah, I am Jack. You are mild.
And hey, here are a couple of things that are trending,
(00:45):
uh that I feel like everybody, uh, all your most

like reeks of them? He's a quote. It isn't bold
or brave and just acting like oh, they're just cave
into the pressures and like this is you know, just
all this tired aus culture worshiped because that's where Dean
Kane is, right, um, and like, let's people you act
(08:29):
like people, look people maybe like the first season fucking
h what was it Lois and Clark. I wanted to say,
small Bill, but it was even less relevant, stopp putting
people of Japanese descent to shame. Dean Kane's set your
Eyes down full Yeah that's plenty uh and then that's
plenty on Dean Kane. And then Black China was that
(08:51):
the Miami Airport screaming about the vaccine and how good
it is? Yeah, actually I'm like you're like, oh no,
come on, don't be another rap rap lady h on
the wrong side of this vaccine debate. Who's about to
go and Tucker Carlson, I just want you to hear this,
because she went like, I don't there's a she must
(09:13):
have been talking for a minute because her people, like
her bodyguards and like her manager or whatever, like, yo,
we gotta go to the driver. And that's sort of
like I don't give a funk about the driver. And
she might be talking to a specific person or just
generally being like, y'all need to get this vaccine. Uh um.
(09:47):
So yeah, she's talking to like a TMZ reporter, or
she's just kind of holding court in she I don't
know who she's there's a lot of angles of this.
Every time I've seen it. She's just yelling off off camera.
So I don't know if someone, you know, it could
be one of those things where someone just guys gets
you fucked up and now you're just going off just
(10:09):
in general, letting people know who the funk you are,
As she said, I'm from d C Bob to Miami
to l A. Okay, it's real rap shit um. Or
you know, maybe she's overheard someone having an attitude about
vaccines or something. But I don't know like she said,
go get vaccinated and stop being stupid. Ho I mean
(10:30):
the way anti baxes are. I'm sure somebody said some
ship to her, you know, right, it just seems like
the the way it goes. I was just talking to
somebody who was like, I just had to have like
a half hour conversation with somebody in a meeting about
fucking Dean Kane. It's just people, really, they want you
(10:52):
to know how stupid they are. Um, all right, let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
And uh, Kyrie is trending because the nets GM Sean
(11:15):
marks Uh is basically saying he's not on the team
if he's not gonna get the vaccine and only play
part time. Like it's just not a not a thing
we can do. Sorry, Kyrie. We're looking for full time
positions on this very expensive basketball team. We can't just
(11:35):
have someone coming with a half order. Um. And the
whole thing was sort of like, it's not fair to
the other players. Were trying to cultivate a championship team,
and by doing that, that means everyone has to be
on the same page and it's just not gonna work
to have someone only available for half the ship because
you're refusing to get vaccinated. Um and then you're just
(11:58):
willing to stick to that. I don't know what this is.
I don't know what's gonna come with this. I don't
know if he retired. We were talking to DJ Dramas
are the producer NETS fan, and I was just like,
what do you what do you think about this? This
fucking sucks huh for y'all? But like at the same
fire voice, it's like your big three might just be
(12:20):
a big two. No, but more than that, like you
know that Kyrie is the kind of person who I
could believe either scenario that he would get vaccinated, Like
all right, man, like let's just focus on the season,
Like that's that's a review, Like let's just go forward.
Or he's like, no, I will retire and I will
that's this is where I'm willing to go with it.
(12:42):
Or I'll play in China or something and go get
a check. Um Man, he get a fucking check. Though
out there he is the top twenty player in the
n b A and the Nets might still be the
favorites to win it even without like that, I mean,
but they are hardened and KD are Harden and Kadie
(13:04):
that that seems pretty good to top five guys, they
might be all right. Also, Ben Simmons, reported to The Sixers,
said he was trying to make a prove a point
with his absence and you know, missing out a training camp,
and I don't know, you know, it's probably point taken.
(13:26):
I guess it's going to be. You know, Philadelphia fans
are the most forgiving of people, and they are we're
already starting for Ben Simmons chance at a wrestling event. Um,
they burned the jersey as they second even thought about
(13:47):
missing camp. I remember then it's a tough sell because
he did just was kind of one of the main
reasons that the team that seemed promising was first in
the East, you know, went out in the second round again. Um,
so they're already like looking for a reason to be
mad at him. And then he says he would never
(14:09):
want to play for the team, and you know, it's
a it's a toxic cocktail. I I see it from
his like he's in a very shitty situation. Yeah, I
don't I don't love it. Maybe Ben Simmons and Kyrie
should just both retire, you know, they go to China. Man,
(14:30):
get the check. There you go. But I do think
part of the Kyrie thing is he doesn't really like
basketball that much at this stage. What do you think
he'd rather be doing? I don't know, like train modeling.
He goes into the model train business with Neil Young.
Neil Young owns like the type of train that I
(14:54):
have bought the most for my train obsessed son. He
owns he owns the company like the toy the toymaker. Yeah,
it's called Lionel. It's been around since like the and
Neil Young is now the owner of the company. Yeah,
because he's like he got super into trains. I think
he has a son who is autistic and was really
(15:17):
into trains, and so he just went all in and
just bought the fucking company, which is pretty cool. Yeah,
he's like, I may say more money if you own
the company. Yeah. Scream there's a new trailer for Scream
part This is four right, Scream five? Got it? Uh?
(15:38):
And it looks like a screen movie um for our
modern era. Though I was like I was waiting. I
was like, I hope that they have something that indicates that, uh,
it's happening now. And the Killer Ghost face, which is
the name I don't subscribe to because there's only one
(15:59):
true ghost face in my of mine. But that's what
people call him. Go Smith Dennis Coles exactly technology. He's
good at a technology now so's he'll hack the shift
out of your simplest safe home security system unless you
have that VPN on it hashtag ad um. But yeah,
(16:19):
I don't know he's I was like, where are the
elderly people at? And then they appeared, Courteney Cox, David
Arquette and Nev Campbell, who must have hopped in off
a fucking time machine. Look pretty good, but neveryone looks
so healthy. Nev Campbell, I'm like, wow, look what happens
when because she retired from acting because she was like, no, man,
I'm I can't really, I'm not really with this Hollywood
(16:40):
hit and it looks like the greatest thing anyone can
do for the He turns out, yeah, I'm healthy, but
I'm I'm actually for I don't know, shout out the
Canadian god, Nev. But I I'm like very interested in
it because I haven't seen her face in so long. Yes,
Nev Campbell, Yes, okay, go on, I will buy a
(17:03):
ticket to this. Have you watched all the Screams. I've
watched the first damn yeah, watched the first four? Uh
four hours really based off the edible. I saw three
in the theater. I saw the first three in theaters,
(17:23):
though fourth, no, I disrespected. That's when Blockbuster used to
send you DVDs like Netflix and ship. Oh. I think
maybe that's where I saw No. Wait, am I even
thinking correctly? Anyway? It was something called it Scream for
ice cream. No, it wasn't. Maybe that was Scream three
that I saw like that? Whatever was? I've seen the four,
I've seen the fourth, but not in any meaningful one.
(17:45):
Scream four ice cream like ice cream? You scream? We
all scream for ice cream? Ice scream. Okay, that's what
they should have called it. We should call Dimension films.
Don't know about that, called men films with that joke
for me. U uh. And finally, let's talk about the
box office. Uh, there is just the lowest stake story
(18:10):
of all time. But people don't know what to make
of Uh the latest James Bond movies turn at the
box office? Was it bofo miles not? Did it fall
fall short? Did it fall flat? A lot? Of reports,
a lot of headlines. First sign of turbulence at the
box office. No Time to Die uh pulled in fifty
(18:31):
six million dollars domestically, um, which is a problem because
it costs I think two hundred and eighty million dollars
to make somehow you know, it's only slightly short of
industry projections, which are we're between sixty and seventy. It's
been doing incredibly well everywhere except the United States. Skyfall,
which is the highest grossing bond, only made like twenty
(18:53):
seven percent of its money uh in in the US.
And they're also saying bonds audience skews older than like
your typical Marvel movies, and older people might be more
reluctant to go to the movies right now for some reason. Yeah,
and we need to cut their unemployment benefits. Then the
(19:13):
vote to the theater. Thank you. Uh. But it's I
don't know, it's weird because a lot of like when
Black Widow came out, it got really good publicity for
making sixty million dollars, which is you might notice as
basically the same as the bond one, and then it
(19:35):
had a drop off at the box office the following week.
And they're like Disney's Black Widow Gamble didn't pay off,
but the first thing you like, we love it. How
the secret behind the success of the big debut shang
Chi was like I thought, a major success story, but
then people were also saying, like it wasn't it didn't
perform well, um, and I don't know, it's just it's
(20:00):
I think basically what we're seeing is that nobody knows
what to make of box office performance like now, because
we have so few, um, you know, examples to to
work from, like the sample sizes very small of movies
released post pandemic and we're still in the pandemic, so right, like, uh,
(20:20):
it's it's a moving target being shot by a not
particularly skilled marksman. Right, So I wonder what if this
will change the way studios even think about films or
how to release content, because you'll look at something then
where it's like squid game that has like the ubiquity
that a film would like just be you know, sacrifice
(20:41):
their children for. Yeah, it's like funk man. Do we
just play like like low ball, you know, small ball
and just get these fucking laser guided hits? Or do
we keep putting out these fucking massive outlays of cash
for these tent pole films and then just like pray
to our the altar of wild sacrifice that we can
cover the budget plus marketing costs. It's like, on the
(21:05):
one hand, I would love a world where, you know,
blockbusters were just like a couple every summer that like
costs over a hundred million, and then everything else was
just like cool movie ideas made with like movies rather
than four dusted off I p reboots. But on the
other hand, I do need every movie I watched to
(21:25):
culminate with a portal in the sky and those cost money.
Those are those are pretty pracy. Um. I have an
app that will do that. Actually, so you can you
can enjoy any film. Um, Sarah with Whoopie Goldberg, I
can make a fucking portal come out the sky in
Africa out of nowhere. Wow. Um. I heard the movie
(21:47):
is good, though the Bond movie, I've heard mixed things,
but I've heard pretty good things from people whose taste
of respect, So okay, okay. I was just that it
doesn't excite me the last since that. Yeah, I just
always catch him on DVD now or like at home.
I haven't I haven't gotten my stinking asked with theater
(22:09):
for a bond from you, like the line of thinking
or like one of the actual like threads in the
movies starting I think, like with the second ding O,
Craig Bond was like he's too old, he's too out
of shape to be a spy, like we gotta he's
gotta hang it up. It was like three movies ago,
(22:31):
like I don't I don't know how they picked someone
older than dating I mean, you know anyways, that is
gonna do it for us this Tuesday, October twelve. We
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
(22:52):
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about way supremacy, and
we'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
