bottom line, critical thing happening on this planet today.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
This is important.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
The dub titties are hot.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
There are these things called like television shows. Back in
the day.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I got to say this purple matal, he got one.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I don't know who it is.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Who is it?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I'm a dumb ass too, I'm like nervous talking like
all these facts.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Buckle up, god, bitch, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Shut up.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
How's everybody feeling, Kyle?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I heard you. I saw you on the picket line
the other day. That's kind of sick, but whole Hello.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
I was out there, yeah, yeah, I was out there
doing the striking, standing up, standing up, trying to get
two percent, trying to get our two percent? All right,
come on, let's go. We just want them residuals. Let's
get a ma Okay, wouldn't it be nice? It would
be nice?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Is that what they want? Two percent? That seems like
a shitty amount, but it's a what is that? A
what pep amount?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Two percent of the gross? Like they just want studios
to give that to the guild so that the guilds
can disperse it amongst their members, believe.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
But also two percent? What does that even mean?

Speaker 4 (03:19):
And don't quote me on that two percent? I thought
it was two percent of the I thought it was
two percent of all of the profits that they were
making as streamers comes back to the people. Okay, I
think that's what That's what I understood it to be.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Grossly wrong, though, if you're getting your strike information here,
there could be.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Four worse guys to explain that.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like that's way wrong.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
But this is why everyone's talking about AI instead of
like the like ins and outs or like because computers
can write this dude.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Admittedly, because I went and striked with Blake the other day,
Rhythm holding down Hollywood, right, Admittedly, looking at all the
signs that were written by w GAS. I was like, oh,
maybe we need some AI to help us write some
of these signs because they were bad. A lot of
them were really bad.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah sign, Oh that's a slam, that's a big slam.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Or they were like so wordy that a car driving
past couldn't read all that. You're like, it just needs
to be like a few words.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Right, Well, it's not for that, it's for social media.
People are trying to get the clicks and the attention,
which we deserve because people need to understand what we're
fighting for.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, the Royal, the Royal, the Royal WG.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I posted a I grabbed a sign that said gaze
for pay, which I was like, that was kind of funny.
I'll walk around with this son.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
What's funny about it?

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's just not he's the furthest thing from a gay right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I'm so not gay, dude, I'm so straight.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
There in lies the comedy.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I was like, there's a fun sign. So I
was just carrying it around and my DM I posted
a photo Christian Charles like, let's grab a photo. Our
friend Christian Shaw is very funny comedian, and she is
very funny that's taller than you think, super super funny,

(05:13):
and she's like, let's get a pick, and I grabbed
a pick. She sent it to me and I posted it.
People in my d ms were like.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Matt, dude, you should be gay for Freeze.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
And in the comments sorry, the compliment section of Instagram,
they were not they, but they were like they were like,
fuck you your gay agenda, Adam. I'm like, oh, I
don't have a gay agenda.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
No, it's just they're called tendencies, not agenda.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Those are the those.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like can a guy gobble?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Those are the guys who are secretly gay themselves and
and don't want to be gay themselves and are so
angry about it.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm still going, well, w g A does stand for
wance gay assholes?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, I never knew.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
It always has and it's they actually converted it into
the writer's guilt, so McCarthy ism. During the Blacklist era,
it was really they were going after gay people. Then
they were like, maybe we're just writer, it's not about
gay assholes, and so then people started writing movies and uh, yeah, yeah,
I'm sorry to like get like in the weeds like

(06:22):
you are.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
I'm listening.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
And I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm sorry about that. Oh, it's nice, it's good. It's good.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, I liked it a lot, dude.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I'm about to go into I'm about to go into
a little trip down memory lane when it comes to blacklisting,
because when I go to France, I'm looking for my
great great uncle's grave.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh, very cool.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know this story? Do you guys know this?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
You're looking for a great great uncle's greath How much
time do we have?

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah? I can do it quickly. But it involves the
writers the Elevator.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I'll be right back. I'm gonna go take a ship.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
It involves the Writer's Guild, so I kind of feel
like I feel like it should be out there for
because it is the Writer's Guild. It's early writers Guild
story and McCarthyism.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, we'll spit it out, dude.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
All right. So my great great uncle guy named Robert Meltzer.
Meltzer wrote for No, wrote The Great Dick Sator with
Charlie Chaplin.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Right, yeah, cool, I never heard of it.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Fucking somebody, dude.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
He's a credited assistant director on that, and the Writers
Guild was not around when they were making that movie.
So he's an assistant director, but did a lot of
writing on the film. When was this This was in
like nineteen forty one, thirty eight, thirty nine, forty ish.
But yeah, so okay, wait.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Wait wait, let me set the pictures.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
World War two backdrop. Hence the Great.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Dictor too great Dictator. It's about Hitler. Yeah, what's its
very very edgy for Chaplain to do that.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Crazy when Chaplin does the mustache.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, well, Chaplain. You know, a little known thing about
a story about the mustache is that he had his
character called the Tramp, had that mustache, and he was
a beloved character before Hitler rose to power. And actually
the rumor is that Hitler grabbed that mustache so that
people would love him immediately because they would be.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Reminded of like, oh yeah, like smart guy, not like
fully but a.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Real pile of fucking trash that mane.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like we could Yeah they take Yeah, yeah,
thank you good. I'm glad.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
I'm glad he was with he was with Charlie Chaplin.
And then do you know that speech that he fucking
that at the end of that movie.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Of course, yes, everyone.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
My uncle fucking my uncle opposed that speech and got
kicked off set. Charlie Chaplin kicked him off of set
when they were filming that.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
And how's the speech go again?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's where Charlie breaks the fourth wall and all of
a sudden does this like impassioned speech to camera?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
What's the fourth one?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Okay, PolyChar And the reasoning that my uncle was like, no,
you can't do that is because they were making a
satire and at that point.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
It was like, right, you're breaking the fourth wall.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I've heard you say that.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
So your uncle was like, kind of pro Hitler is
that you're saying and was like, dude, you can't. We're
trying to make like a funny comedy. Your boos are huge.
That what it's sounding like.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
They set out no, no, no, no, sounding like.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Your your uncle was protecting Hitler.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
No you're not even no, you're not even close, bro,
Because I'll get to that part of the story.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, it is a long story.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'm sorry I didn't realize it. I tell that I
can do it. You guys are asking a lot of questions.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
I can't think of anything to talk about.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Go ahead, okay. So uh so he gets he says
on the grounds of satire, you cannot. You can't do it,
because the whole mission was to laugh in the face
of the Devil's laugh in the face of the devil, right,
And then this bro was like.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's like explaining the joke after telling this, and I
get it. He was saying, you can't do that. But
Chapman was probably scared. He was like, I think we
have to otherwise we're gonna people are gonna find out
we're down with Hitler.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
So they had what they had to do it we
have to hide.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Anyways, I'll do the fast forward version if you guys,
let me go. So he got kicked off set. He
goes to work with Orson Wells on a World War
II project that's in South America. All right, So they're
making this documentary where it's called It's All True, and
it's supposed to bring like the South America and North

(10:42):
America together. That was the whole It was supposedly.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
A war effort, but.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
What was Orson was just using it as a way
to dodge the draft did not come. Orson didn't want.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
To go to the war.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, well who does. Nobody wants to?

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Of course, I'm like, yeah, I didn't want to do
that some people do.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
So he made this documentary and they were like pulling
money out of the US government and pulling money out
of Hollywood to make this documentary called It's All True.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Right.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
My uncle was like he got fed up with that.
He's like, no, fuck this. I hate Hitler so much.
I'm going I'm gonna kiss him. I'm joining World War
two and I'm gonna go fucking kill him.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I hate Hitler, gonna go kill Hitler.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I wanted to kill Hitler and he wanted to write.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
So if you see me hanging out with.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Him, sniper or what was his.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
He became an Alpha Team ranger, which I don't know
a lot about the military, but that ship's high up there.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
It sounds it sounds important.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, and he put he wanted to write the Great
American War novel in Hitler's blood, like kiss. So he
fucking stormed the beaches of Normandy with a with a
typewriter on his back.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Okay, yeah, dude, that's gonna weigh you down.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
People are gonna hear you click and when you sneak up.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
He jumped right off the boat and was like, fuck.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, he maybe should have just like wrote it in
a journal and then transcribed it later.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
This was a bad idea.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Pencil and paper. So anyways, he's out the typewriter. He's
tell me he smashes somebody's head with the typewriter.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
No, the ship stucks after that.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
The ship stucks after that because he goes to fucking
Breast after the Battle of the Breast and he fucking
what's breast? It's a place in France, uh, northwest France.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
France is so cool.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
It's a famous battleground.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Battle of the Pussy, right, yeahs are huge and fucking
He got shot he Litoria.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Oh wait that Battle of the Booty. He was shot
and died there. He got shot and died, died a breast.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
He died.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
They mowed him.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Done, okay rough, So they buried him in France.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
So you're going to visit him at his burial site there.
I'm gonna find the burial site. Does he have a
proper headstone or no? Because it to war and.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
I don't know if his name's on it because we have.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Like a squot one.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's what's cool, Adam. There's a typewriter out there that
people go to and you type a message of love.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Right. Well, here's here's where the WGA comes in, because
after he died in the war, the WGA gave him
an award. Okay, so they had the Robert cult Award
that was active for four years. Cool, Yeah, it was sick.
They gave it to like people who served, who were writers,
and that was the whole.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
And then someone was like, did you ever meet this guy?
We should definitely not have an award in his name. No,
what happened was is McCarthyism.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Well, now I want to know what that is. Tell
us what that means.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
So McCarthyism is what durs was talking about at the beginning,
which is the blacklist era in Hollywood where it's if
you were a communist, or if if there was any
chance you were a communist, you got blacklisted, or.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
If they just didn't like what you were saying. Yeah,
they would a blacklist, you would label you as a
communist is maybe more accurate, but yes.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
They attack on. It was like a witch hunt in
a way, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
It was.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
It was awesome. And at that time he was young
in Hollywood and he did like, you know, communism, like
was still an idea when he was like twenty four
to twenty five, so he was checking it out.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Oh that checks out, I'll say some check.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Communism like like failed the world during World War Two.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
It fucking completely failed.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
So it's like, okay, is that when I don't know,
I don't know when we were because work did it
fail already or was it fail?

Speaker 4 (14:33):
It was like when Russia shook hands with Germany. That
was when it like failed because everybody thought that uncle,
that Joe stall.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
They did all the way through World War two they
were doing it.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Everybody thought that Joe Stalin was gonna like beat up Germany,
and then when he shook hands with Germany, people were
like what the fuck? And that was actually on the
day they started filming The Great Dictator, which is gnarlist because.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
In World War Two, my and year old just told
me the other day that Russia had the most casualties
by far.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Really, yes, that's before.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
The panshaker, after the handshake.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
It was at the handshake was when we were like,
that was like, well Russia was communists and so everybody's
like see you look at look at Joe Stall and like,
shit's working over there, I think. And then when uh,
and then when when they shook hands it, you know,
it was fucked up.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, this is important.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, I will say like I've never been to anywhere communist,
but then shooting in Berlin last year and we were
in East Berlin and you just see like the difference
between like West Berlin and everything's like newer and nicer,
and then East Berlin was like all the old buildings
and you see like the communist housing and it's just

(15:48):
like fucking depressing looking and you're like, my god, this
is like, uh you could see how they just made
everything the exact same and there was no style, didn't
put any there was nothing was nice or they didn't
go above and beyond because everything had to be the same.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
And that was because all those people were like, we're
doing this for the greater good of the community.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
But the problem was is.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
That you have this dictator up top that then can
turn and has control over everybody because nobody has any power.
Everybody's the same. So it was like kind of m hm,
and that's what happened, and then that's why there was
so much genocide in Russia.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
This is important, and so here's my question that it's important. Stupid, stupid,
dumb ass questions.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
So I'm a dumb ass too, I'm like nervous talking
like all these times, I'm a dumb ass.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm a dumb ass.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
So communist communism in theory is that like, no matter
what your job is, everybody kind of gets the same thing.
But then it allows for corruption at the top. So
if yeah, communism at the top isn't corrupt, is it
fucking sick? Is it off the chain?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Perfect?

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I think that's why everybody says communism is good on
paper on paper, but yeah, once you put into practice,
it doesn't quite work because somebody's gonna grab because of corruption.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Kyle, uh sits you know so much about communism, I
kind of do. If you are let's say you're like
a doctor or something, do you get paid the same
amount as if you are a plumber or like a
you know, you lay bricks or something.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like a really cool actor.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
As far as communism works, you.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Know, I don't know how. I don't know how the
pay structure worked in all of that. I know that
I don't. I don't really know. I'm not going to
pretend like I know.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's kind of interesting. I think I'm into it.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Okay, Okay, wait, I can see I could see Dres
being a communist for sure.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Do I get to be one of the guys at
the top. No, But it's interesting for people to become
doctors because they want to become doctors, not because they're
gonna get paid out the ass and push pills and
all that shit.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm saying, right, Well, that's kind of which loops back
to the w GA. That was kind of the quote
that came from the bro. Which which bro was it
that gave the evil quote where it's like, oh, they'll
come back. They love their job. They do this because
they love to write.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Oh you're talking about the guys the executive you're saying recently.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yes, very recently for this strike. They were like, don't worry,
you won't last long because eventually these people love to
write and be creative so much that they will they'll
they'll come crawling back if we just waited out right, Sure.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
But like, also, just go write a book or write
something else, or like make music, start a podcast.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, still gonna send it.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
It will be fine, send it.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Still going to send it.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, So let me finish, Let me finish the story
real quick? Can I finish it?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's still going. It's still happening.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's not done yet, not done, it's not done. It's
really quick. At the end, he was posthumously blacklisted.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
We got to get there and we're still in the
we're still in the elevator with you.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
And the award, and the award was stripped of him,
and then.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I got to get to a meeting.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
No, no, this isn't the elevator pitch. This is like,
my fucking kN we know.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
The elevator pitch that was last week.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, this is my kin, dude.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I've changed shirts. It's clearly dude.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's his really close relative from.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
One hundred years yeh, I never met him.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes, it was dead.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's in the bloodline, Kyle.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
The irony is that he is buried in an American
flag while also being labeled a communist.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
He said buried or married and buried.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
He's buried in American he was buried fighting fascism, and
like he died fighting fascism on the American side, and
he's still blacklisted essentially, and the award isn't there, and
then yeah, yeah, it's it's hard to like. And I
didn't know about him because of that. That's the thing

(19:33):
that's fucked up. It's like, I found out about this
guy five years ago. I've been down in Hollywood working
and all of a sudden there's like this, did you
find out about him? My aunt was searching our family
tree and saw a purple metal and was like, who's
this guy?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Whoa purple metal?

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I mean a purple heart?

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wait, unbelievable that that was real tight.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
She's looks like, who did purple magic?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Can't even I can't do I want to take a
break real quick.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Why did this bro spray paint his metal purple?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
And?

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Hangree?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
What happened?

he was. We were looking at over the pandemic. We
were looking at and we found a speech by Dalton
Trumbo and I were talking. That's from the movie. It's
the last speech from the movie that Brian Cranston does.

Speaker 2 (21:33):

Trumbo was the Brian Cranston movie and he played Dalton Trumbo,
who was this writer who was blacklisted and then wrote
under a pseudonym and wrote like a million movies when.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
He won the Laurel Award, which is I believe what
he's winning at the end of that that movie. In
the actual transcription, he's like talking about Robert Meltzer.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
That's radical, who's that That's cool?

Speaker 4 (21:57):
And he's talking about like he's like, we all know
what the warl award was. It was the Robert Meltzer Award.
And then he said, and he how ironic a man
who died in battle had a daughter named Joe Victory.
And me and my brother were.

was his daughter, and and she had, uh, she had
these journals. That's cool.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, so you reached out to her and she's like
a super old lady now and she has these journals.

Can I tell you that Ty Cobb is more famous
than a guy who was in Jesse James Gang.

Yeah, but I don't know if that's true. That's just
like my uncle like being real, Stone being like you know,
and I'm like how And then there was no backup
to it, But we went to the Jesse James. He
probably didn't want to house where he was murdered at
in Missouri, I believe. And we went to that and
now it's like a museum and there's photos of my
great great uncle there.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wow.

No one's looking at him, you know, you put the
abandits up front to keep an eye because no one's
gonna like do a second glance at my ugly ass
great great uncle. You know.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
For sure, Catchers met face. Yeah.

was nineteen thirties. I was like, man, maybe the thirties
way way off, long time ago, yeah, way way off.

I don't think I have anything other not famous.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I also just don't think my family is good about
talking about their past.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I think they just don't.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Oh so you think chances are there's a ton of people.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Probably a ton of professional athletes.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, there's probably like a pretty good chance that like
or wrestlers, pro pro wrestlers.

Speaker 1 (28:20):

that yeah, that's like literally like a close relative. No, actually,
I take it back, I take it back.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah, that's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
But I don't think so. I think it's just me.

are the ones that in many generations they'll be saying,
did you know that?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (29:30):

dope is in one hundred years, they're gonna go like
our great great great great nephews are gonna go Like, Yeah,
I guess my great great great great uncle had a show.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Got rested for killing a dog on an airplane.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
There were these things called like television shows back in
the day, and he had one. I don't I don't
really know, but yeah, evidently for real and then like
one of like he snapped and kat spree.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Apparently he like changed some law about how you can't
have animals on an airplane. But then even after that,
they found him underneath an airplane strangling all these dogs
and putting firecrackers in their butttholes.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Goodbye, And that's life story.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
And that's how he got the purple metal.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
That being said, though, he did go into war with
the typewriter on his back, so purple medal. Wait, so
who knew that homeboy had a typewriter on his back?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
No, that's from well he was.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I don't know, how does that news get back?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
You know how this stuff works?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Or no?

Speaker 4 (30:39):
No, no, it's because he was publishing while he was
in the war, he was actually publishing to like Collier's
magazine and writing short stories and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
You got to meet Oliver Stone because just because of
like the type of dude he is.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
He's really cool.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
You know, he's a chill dog.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
But I bet he knows who your great great uncle was.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, have you sniffed around?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Because I think that he's that type of guy.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well you know who else is also? Uh, the way
that he got rolled on was because he was a
part of up by up rolled on for communists, you
know when they when they blacklisted him. He was a
part of a big group, a group of actors called
the actors, the Actors Studio, Actors Gang. It's like the
Actors Studio, It's it's it's Lloyd Bridges. Is Bridges I love, Yeah,

(31:28):

by UCB. And that's where a lot of isn't.

to rewatch Howard the Duck. It's the best Marvel movie
because it gets no love. You never see anyone post
about it or talk about it. You see people post
and talk about older movies sometimes, but yeah, never ever,
ever do they talk about Howard the Duck.

Speaker 2 (32:29):

lot of love because there is a moment in the
movie when you go into this bathroom where there is
a female duck bathing and she has duck titties. Yeah,

like a sneaky like if you pause it at the
right moment, it's a huge It's like.

When did it kick off? Toy Story was not super complete?

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Hell?

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Simple story one was not at it's hella simple dude.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Toy Story one.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
They're just like they're at the birthday party with the
little fucking guy?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Was it on? What was the mindy one or inside
side out? Was that the emotion one? I feel like
the one I was like, yeah, yeah, that one was
pretty hard to follow. I feel like that one.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Was was was it imagery out? The we who?

Speaker 1 (38:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Just like conceptually like like it was hard to explain
to a child, but it was a kid's movie, but
it was like how do you? It was just it
was rough. It was it was a lot.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Right, Well, I will say the I mean to pivot
topics because I don't have a child, so it was.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Like, I don't want to talk about.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Movie. Well, I mean like going. I went and saw
Air a couple of weeks ago, and then I told, have.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
You ever seen in a Marvel movie?

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Adam? Ever, Yes, yeah, I've seen the first Guardians of
the Galaxy and I saw the first Iron Man.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
That's what I was saying. I think I tapped out
Animal that was so.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Long ago, Adam, that's it.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I think I saw End Game on a plane and
obviously I had no fucking idea what was happening.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
And I'm like, I never saw it.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
I'm sorry, And that's it.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
You've seen three Marvel movies, Yeah, I mean I might
have seen.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I mean I've seen some of the Spider Man ones,
not the newer ones, but.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
The old You see Black Panther I saw.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
I saw Black Black Panther. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
I think that might have been the last one I
actually watched.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yeah, Black Panther one. I liked the first Black Panther.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, I've seen them all.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
But I just like going to the theater and I
went and s Air a couple of weeks ago, and
I told my parents. I was like, Yo, you guys
got to go to the theater and see Air. And
then my dad calls me. He's like, yeah, we just
watched Air. And I'm like, oh, how fun is he
going back to the movie theater and he goes, oh,
it's on Netflix Amazon. I'm like, yeah, Amazon Amazon. He
told me Netflix, but yeah, Amazon, And I'm like, our
parents are the age where everything's Netflix. It does not

(40:19):
matter streaming as Netflix, right, Yeah, it's okay, Yeah that's true.
But also I'm like, well, that sucks that they dumped
it on the streamer that quickly, Like of course, movie
theaters aren't going to come back if they're gonna pull,
like the word of mouth can't build if they put
it on a streamer within a week.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Dude, that's why there's no dough. That's why there's no dough.
If they if they there's money in the box office,
what the fuck are people doing? Why don't they just
put it in the box office like there's money. There's
a formula.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
I don't know if there is. I don't know if
there is.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
For a movie like Air.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I think someone's crunched the numbers and based on the analytics,
it ain't there.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
No, it's if you put it in, if you put
it in for four weeks or more, it will catch fire.
You just have to put it in for a month,
six months and have it nowhere.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Else I know.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
But guess what that same studio is like, guess what,
we got to move that fucker out because we have
another movie we're trying to it's all about opening weekend period.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
We have new movies we need to launch.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
You think it's all about opening weekend though? Yes, is
that the still the same way to think about.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
It in this industry?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
So?

Speaker 4 (41:22):
But I mean, like, look at everything everywhere, all at once,
and look at how it grew right and it made money.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Look at every other movie.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
And how it gets out.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
WHOA.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
That's my point.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
I kind of I'm just wondering if that's all.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
I'm not even rooting for this. I'm just saying that's
what's happened.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
But I'm trying to put out like, you know, let's
starve the streamers and fucking throw the ship back in theaters.
So let's starve the streamers. That would be cool.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
But the point is all these studios have other movies
that they're gonna launch the next weekend, and they want
all the fucking theaters so that every hour on the
hour you can see this new big movie. They're not
gonna be like, hey, let's save three screens for air.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
They ain't gonna do it. No, You're it's the theater
companies that are like, fuck that shit, we're not gonna
hold it. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Absolutely, Revival theaters are dope. That being said, it sure
was fun going to the theater. Air was a really
good movie. I really enjoyed it, and it was fun
being in a movie theater. And now I'm like itching
to get back in. I didn't see the second Guardians
of the Galaxy, so I'm like, am I gonna be
able to follow?

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Let's skip that one? One is? One is way better?

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Three?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I bet is sick?

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Yeah, if they did starve the streamers, right, don't you
think that would increase demand in the theaters. Don't you
think that then other other movies might have a chance
because you can't see these particular movies anywhere else for
say six months. No, I will wait because I will wait.
Did for fifteen years? People waited. Yeah you think that
they would wait?

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Like it's just like the same as rent.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
My parents are like, I'll rent it.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, I am that guy. Yeah, Blake, I am that guy.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Blake doesn't support our industry that he works it.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Did you see everything everywhere all at once in the movie.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
I just don't go to movie theaters. I watch movies,
I just don't go to movies.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Why not you don't like the experience.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
I think that would increase demand.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
I like to watch at my house.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
That one's always like, move your hair as I have.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
To watch at my house. It's not that I'm not
supporting the arts.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
I like to watch at the theater. I really get
a kick out of it just being there.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Until ArcLight closed. Thanks COVID, Thanks movies.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
Right, Yeah, I know it is stucky that they're all.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Going facts X is going to be the next movie
that comes in theaters that I'm gonna go see.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Oh perfect, that's gonna get a billion bucks. No, man,
it's gonna get a billion.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
You gotta save room for air.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
That's what's crazy is these movies are getting a beat
like that's what they're getting A fucking bat dude, that's
a lot of dough.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, it's fucking id thing.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
I think you can increase demand. I think they got
to be smarter. I think I think everybody gotta be smarter.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
But Kyle, I think that there's hundreds of people in
this town and I'm saying I'm not saying that they're
they're they're they're making the industry better for movies. I
think they know what makes money more often, and that's
why they're doing everything.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, there's there's people's whole job is to figure out
exactly how long to keep a movie in the theater,
and bubbla blah.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
I'm just putting it out there. I hope they're listening.
I'm just putting it out there.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
They are not the hundred people that make the decisions,
absolutely are not.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
Well, let's probably get them wist. Yeah, let's keep striking.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
I was just gonna say real quick, Adam, you gotta
go watch the Captain America movies. They're fucking great.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Those are dope.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Oh I saw Winter Soldiers. I never saw those.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
The first one is Off the Chain, the second one
Winter Soldiers, Off the Chain, the third one Civil Wars.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
All the Spider Mans are worth a watch. All the
Captain Americas are worth a watch.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, okay, hey, look at me go.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
I saw the Spider Man scene. My bro showed me
the scene where all the Spider Man's are talking to
each other, and I was like, what fucking hoops did
they jump through to make this work?

Speaker 1 (44:48):
The Spider Verse?

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Yeah, yeah, dude, it's the multiverse.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Based on the meme I mean from the cartoon.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, yeah, they have to.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Because that's the thing they put in the fucking trailer.
And then everyone goes cool, I've seen that phone. I'm
gonna go see it.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Perfect gallar dollar bills, y'all. Well, this is a very
very Hollywood episode. I think we win. You know what,
we're striking.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
We're trying to get people aware as to what's happened.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
This is a polycharged Hey, we're striking. I can do day.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
I guess. I just I wonder if people want to
go see interesting movies anymore, or if they just want
to see big movies.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
Dude, I think they want to see interesting ones. But
I think you can fucking I mean, I'm I'm holding
on to I guess at time, but I think.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
They want to see cool movies like uh, you know,
I don't know if they want to see really small movies,
but I think they want to see like magical movies, like.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Right, that's a big I'm saying that's big, like a
big spectacle.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Whether it's a big spectacle or like a like a
Beetlejuice wasn't necessarily huge spectacle, but it was really cool.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
No one is making Beetlejuice now is what I'm saying.
Beatle Juste too, that's an interesting movie.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, I think people would go see a cool movie
like that.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
That's a very.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Interesting Beetlejuice could be big.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Though, so so Adam. I guess what I'm saying is
you're change. I'm saying this big like spectacle and then
there's interesting, which I think is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Cool would be a little interesting.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but I don't see Beetlejuice
isn't a small character study movie, you know what I mean.
It's still like a fun, weird, cool movie.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
No, it's not like Hell or high Water. Hell or
Highwater is like a very character driven movie where there's
just three people talking, you know.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Yeah, but both of those movies would fall under the
Those are both small stories. They're not big spectacles. I
think that Beetlejuice. Beetle Juice was fantastically made, but it
wasn't like, yeah, some big elaborate like Beetlejuice.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
You could spend time in the sandworm world and it
could be really crazy or go like way crazy.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
But the question is, back in the day, was Beetlejuice
a like a tent pole. Was that the question, because
I think it was. It had to have been a
massive no.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
I was just saying, if Beetlejuice came out now, I
think people would go see that in the theater, if
it was marketed well.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
And if it wasn't anywhere else, because you can't.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
There is a musical right now, Beetlejuice the musical at Pantageous,
and I would love to go with you, guys, I
would have loved to.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
So you think people want to see interesting movies?

Speaker 4 (47:15):
I do, Yeah, I think so in the theater. I
think I think they'll get in their car interesting. So
nice to see those that would be so interesting, something
that's different, something that's a breath of fresh air, Like
we're just not getting that right. I know it's and
it's hard, and if it is, if it is coming out,
it's very hard to find amongst the stoop that is streaming.
It's not getting its own like time and then what

(47:37):
like you know how hard it is to find ship.
Everybody calls everything Netflix. It's like, what are you talking about?
You don't find things right? I'm calling that soup.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Speaking of good. Word of mouth is my buddy Jake Simansky.
He directed the show Jury Duty on Amazon.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
I start watching it.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
It's so funny.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
I heard it's great.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
If you guys have to have some time check it out.
It directed Mike and Dave need wedding dates. He's super funny.
And the package and the package which we've produced.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
And the package now streaming on and uh Netflix.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
And that's streaming on Netflix. Great guy, he's a great guy.
He he directed Jury Duty. Cody Heller was the showrunner.
She did a fantastic job. And it's just a really
really funny, funny show.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Do you want to tell the premise?

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Yes, So essentially it is a ton of hidden cameras
and uh, they say they're doing a documentary on Jury Duty,
and uh, of the twelve jurors, eleven of them are actors.
And there's one guy who thinks he's just there for
jury duty. So all this crazy. And the judge is
an actor, and the baylists and actor.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Everybody's an act everybody's an actor except the dude the
judges Ike barenhol is that right, who was who was
a judge?

Speaker 3 (48:54):
And then now he's on.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
This Oh wow, that's incredible.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Wow, that's cool, incredible yeah, just leapfrog.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
So he so the I mean the show is so
so funny, and I mean they did such a great
job of pasting this guy because he's just like a dude,
a great guy. Just so No, he's just like a
great dude. He's like a truly what did you say?

Speaker 3 (49:13):
He's Wow.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I think he's a great guy. Keep watching.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
He's liker, He's like, he's a nice guy. From the
clips I've seen.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
I only watched the first episode. He's a he's a
funny dufist guy. Like it's not a bad thing. A
dus isn't bad.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I don't think he's a dufist. I don't think he's
a dude.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
I don't know if i'd want to be called the dufist.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
But yeah, well watch the first episode. He's kind of doofy.
He's like James Morris, that's what he was in.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, but that's James Marsden. You go like,
he's in everything, and then you kind of are like,
but what's the end. Then you go like, oh, yeah,
I didn't see that, but sure, disturbing behavior.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
But regardless if he's a dofist or not, he's fantastic
and he's also just like the nicest guy and everybody
fucking loves him, and so it's kind of funny that
he was the guy. There's so many times that he
could like say mean things behind people's backs, like kind
of ship on someone, and he always takes the high road,
and you're like, it's a real breath of fresh air.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
That's cool, and that's really cool. A thing that I
don't know free free which is what.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
It's on free V, which is the free TV that
Amazon is doing, you know, like a like a rope
or you know, all that free TV ship.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
