Speaker 1 (00:04):
There was an idea.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I felt like I was gonna say, kid, I'm not
sure what to do with my hand.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You have part of my attention.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
You have the minimum mount what name? Who are you steal?

Speaker 5 (00:16):
Some men just want to watch the world bun.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Let's see you're drinking one? Is that because you think
you're fat?

Speaker 5 (00:24):
Let's rock.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Let's rock today.

Speaker 6 (00:27):
Back for the first time in four weeks, we have
the whole crew together.

Speaker 7 (00:31):
Jessman brought gifts. None of us brought.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
None of us brought gifts well, very late, very late
for Christmas. I was out for that and then we were.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Everybody was in and out on the New Year's week,
so I hadn't better late than ever.

Speaker 7 (00:43):
There's one person of the four of us who's nice.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yes, yeah, I'll bring it.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'll bring enough for the four.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Honestly, I think it just likes it better when she's
the only one to bring gifts.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
I am a competitive gift giver. Oh, I don't do
it to one up anybody. I just love doing it.

Speaker 7 (00:59):
Also, right, are you constably bringing snacks to the office.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Because I want like goods.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
I want to so I bring in bake goods because
I don't eat bake goods, and so it's like a
vicarious thing for me, and I know how much other
people enjoy them, and I love baking.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
But what what am I gonna do? Just bake it
and then lead have it? Yeah, like have it sitting
in my house.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
It just dawned on me that Anderson and Jackson got drinks,
and because I don't partake in the devil's juice, I
was given fattening foods.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
So I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You were given pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It all looks good. I'm probably gonna eat it all tonight.
It's just crazy to say out loud.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think you know what. The New Year's gifts sometimes
can be like.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh, I got you a membership to a gym.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
It's like that's kind of like, oh, yeah, you're too fat.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
But just at the opposite, she gave you fattening things,
so she said you're in such good shape that you
can eat this and he.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Can still be totally fun. I have I need I
need to work on some things.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
But you could leave it at your desk and have
it as works next.

Speaker 7 (01:56):
Work on some things.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
In terms of your weight, I have a little bit
of a bit the buttom are ridiculously fed. I would
pay good money to be as fit as you. I
wish I was as fit as you think. I'm okay,
there's levels to this, I might there's levels to this, layers.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
We got movies and shows talk about. Jackson set us
all up.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Okay, Welcome in Hollywood Weekly.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Back for the first time in four weeks Chris's Body Weekly.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
We are four sports radio producers who finally get a
chance to talk about something other than sports. We are
here talking about movies and TV, and there is a
lot to go over. There is such a long, long
list for each of us in terms of what we've
been watching over the holiday season. I know for me,
I was on long flights and my list is ridiculously long.

(02:41):
I'm sure all of yours are as well. We'll see
if we can fit in a draft later, but we
will start tonight by talking about the thing that is
probably most topical, and that is it is award season.
The Golden Globes just took place last weekend. We have
the Oscars coming up. Of course, Nikki Gla was the
host and I think absolutely killed it. First off, did

(03:02):
anybody watch the Golden Globes here other than me?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I peeked in heavy once in a while. I didn't watch
it fully through, but I saw some awards that were won.
The Actor for shan Gun or Shogun Shogun. That's a
great award. I'm glad he won that. You could tell
how happy he was. So I was able to watch
that show.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
By the way, they've click cleaned up on the Actor
and Actress awards.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay, So I saw glimpses of it, and I saw
some of the actors and actresses that won, So that
was really cool to see.

Speaker 7 (03:27):
But you two didn't see any of it.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I am not an awards fan.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
And that's the question, right is does it matter?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
No, it doesn't matter. I don't care. I don't watch them.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
The only thing that matters from any sort of award
shows watching Ricky Gervais just absolutely roast every single Hollywood.

Speaker 6 (03:42):
And honestly, for that reason, I would really recommend just
go on YouTube and watch the Nicky Glazer open because
she says at the start, listen, I'm not here to
roast anybody.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
I just I just came onto this.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Hold on, I just came onto the scene like I
realized that I just made a name for myself this year.
I'm not going to roast all of you awesome people,
and then she proceeds to just pop off on everyone
for ten minutes and it is just going.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
I mean, Nikki Glazer was the best part of the
Golden Globes.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
I did actually watch that, but it was on YouTube,
Like I only watched Nick. However, ten point one million viewers,
and they were up against Sunday night football, So that's
actually not that bad. Yeah, no, and so it does
matter to some people.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
It can't rating them have.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Been to ditty parties, but continue.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, that's what all those bottles were for.

Speaker 7 (04:33):
He got a shout out from Glazier at some point
in Jackson.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Since you are one that obviously consumes these, I have
a question for you. How do you rank the most
important slash h reputable awards, whether it's the Golden Globes,
whether it's the Emmys, whether it's the Academy Awards.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Where do you the Oscars? Is the Academy Awards? I
mean it's it's absolutely the Oscars. I mean the Golden Globes.
I believe a couple of years ago was not even
on because they found out there was some like insider
stuff going on and it wasn't fully legitimate. I mean
at this year's Golden Globes, they did a very very
interesting thing. They made three or four or five times
they made reference to this is all on the up

(05:13):
and up. We have these lawyers here and nobody knows
the results except for them. It's fully on the up
and up. And there was no cheating whatsoever, et cetera,
et cetera. And they made note of it of almost
too many times to be suspicious. And especially when you
have a movie like Wicked, who wins the you know,
box office award for the biggest box office hit. I'm

(05:34):
sorry that movie made six hundred and twenty five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Deadpool Wolverine doubled that at one point three billion. Give
me a freaking break, Golden Globes, how dare you give
it to a movie that made half as freaking much
money that is not a box office winner?

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Kevin movie was so good, dead Pool Wolverine. I watched
it on my way to a destination on a flight,
and I watched it again on the way.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
Is it the most rewatchable Marvel movie?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
For the humor?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Vow you yes? And also just there was such a culmination.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
In you know, the you know hatred that Deadpool had
for Wolverine, or technically it was Hugh Jackson half the time,
because he was just wearing a Hugh Jackson mask in
some of it. And then all of a sudden, they're
together and they still hate each other. Okay, anyway, well
the premise, No, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
And also who knows, who knows who's out there?

Speaker 5 (06:25):
But no, I think you know the premise, that's just
the premise in the previous two Deadpools. Thank you, Yes,
I just I like the build up and all of
a sudden and the behind the scenes which they did
in the other dead Pools, but pulling back the fourth
wall so many times it was brilliant.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
I think when he found out he said, he kind
of goes to the camera, he says, f you Fox
and punches the camera screen or I'm going to Disneyland
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
He says, Yes, that was it.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
I think it's I think it might be the most
rewatchable more movie because I watched it over the over
the break as well twice. But listen, I would say, like,
how does that that made one point three billion dollars
not get the box office award that you specifically designed
four movies like that. You give it to Wicked, which, yes,
they had a table at the Golden Globes, which means

(07:12):
I am flat out saying it hopefully with you know,
is it true?

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Maybe not, I'm gonna say it anyway.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
I think they bought a table at the Golden Globes, Wicked,
and they said, what we want a table here, We
want to be front and center, And they were front
and center at the entire award show, and what do
you know, they got the Box Office Award.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Come on, you bought that freaking award, Wicked. I mean,
this is my problem with all these award shows. It's
like so often what happens is the movies that win
aren't the best movies at least, and they're not the
most popular movies.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
It's just these like.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Adrian Brody's The Brutalist one. It cleaned up with a
bunch of awards and I have no idea.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
What it is.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, what's going on there? It's so many times you
did a.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Movie Adrien Brody. Yeah, well Adrian Brody' is a famous FAI.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Saying he did a movie like it came out recently.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I'm sorry with you guys, like, what movie was
Ian that I didn't hear about The Brutalist I don't even.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
I mean, it has great scores and it's apparently a
beautifully done movie, and I do want to see it,
but like, okay, none of us had really heard about
it before last week.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
So it's such an ginst It's such an inside industry,
whole award thing. It reminds me of the Vocal Emmys,
another thing that you can buy, you know, because you
have to pay for submissions, and certain stations are like,
I'm not buying this, so they'll have one reporter and
I've seen this with my own eyes. Do not the
station I worked at, but a different one. We'll just

(08:34):
do four huge stories throughout the year, like one a quarter,
So spend three months on one story just specifically for
the Emmys, and they'll enter all four of them in
different categories.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
So it's yeah, they're paying for it.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
This is why I trust something much more like Rotten
Tomatoes ratings or IMDb score or anything like that, other
than how many Academy awards something one like that means
absolutely nothing.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Have any even seen Wicked, by the way, I will
not be watching that. I'm not a musical fan. Well,
I don't have an answer.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
How do we feel about musicals?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Because I very much can can I have a strong,
strong and how do we even define what a musical is?

Speaker 7 (09:16):
Is a good question. I don't like him.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I don't like him.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
But that's when you're watching live people, live actors in them,
you know, and then all of a sudden they break
out into song. I can't stand it. My brother's an actor,
a musically trained Broadway actle actor, and I so I
grew up watching all of them. I still can't say, yeah,
he's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Actually, so in one of your family members an actor
to Anderson, Well, my sister is a professional athlete.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
But yeah, like my second cousin or something is is
he's in Hollywood. Okay, yeah, I can't remember exactly what
movie he's done. It's like some like not tiny like
extra roles, but like medium roles in some good movie.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
So like, I can't remember exactly what they were. Fine,
but my brother knows.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'll have to ask him because he's trying to get
into that and he's in college now.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
So, So how do you feel.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I am someone who has a lot of personal experience
with live musicals, like at Broadway at the theater.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Right Hamilton, for example.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Right, I performed in a few of them when I
was in uh middle school, okay, and then it does
and then I everybody, and then I played music for
them in high school, like I was a trumpet player
for I can see it. Yeah, So I like, I
love the experience of, you know, going after school every

(10:39):
day and being with the same group of people and
practicing for something for so long until you perform it live.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's where your wife.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
That makes sense live live. That's the big part of it.
Because I think what we're talking about is musical movies.
Movies that we like, our musicals, but it's like on
the big screen.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
So how do you define it?

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Since since you have experience in that kind of how
do you define a musical movie?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Then?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Well, because like there's there's a lot of movies that
you know, a lot of people think, oh, there's a
lot of music in that one, that must be a musical.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Not necessarily.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I think the main thing for me that is a
definition of what makes a musical is if every emotional
moment in the movie is brought to you by singing
or song, that makes a musical.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
I like that, Yeah, because the first thing I thought
was like music plays as a character. Yeah, but maybe
we all have our own definitions. But I like the
way you phrased it.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, I'm with you on that because it's like uh
la la land duh.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Definitely music right, definitely no right.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
However, there are several songs that are sung by the
actors in that movie, and that's I don't think of
it as a musical.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Ding ding ding, well done, Jess, thank you. I mean,
everyone has their own example. But that's that's exactly how
I feel.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Yeah, maybe maybe what we do is we later on,
if we do have a.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
Chime for a draft or ranking or whatever, we just
we kind of go over just off the cuff, are
our top? There you go, thought three musicals later. We'll
see if we end up having time. But but I
think that it's an interesting conversation of how we each
define what a musical is. Because you look at Wicked Wick,
it's very clearly a musical. It's it's literally mean, they
couldn't have won any original songs because it's all just

(12:25):
straight from Broadway, right exactly. So it's it's sort of
as if I if Hamilton oh Lynn manual, Miranda. You
want to make a bunch of money, do Hamilton, but
do what Wicked did for Hamilton.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
But I think this is what and I love this
spelt mammeral Miranda. Possibly he doesn't want it to go
to the big screen. He wants to keep it. And
this is what I was gonna say. I want that
go see it live. That's what musicals should give.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You to it now. Yeah, now that it's.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
You know, I can afford it because you're guests in money, they.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Have become more affordable than they used to be, I
should say.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
And it's it's it's just a different experience, man Like
I have a hard time enjoying musicals that get turned
into movies like That's one of the reasons why I'm
not a huge fan of going to see Wicked. Right,
I haven't seen the musical live, and I don't want
my first experience to see it on the big screen.
I really don't because I want to see it live.
It makes such a big difference. I saw Hamilton when
it was here, what ten years ago or something like that.

(13:19):
It was one of the coolest experiences I've ever been to.
I absolutely loved it. There are just a few of
them though that I do like that I think are
really really well done, and maybe we'll get to those
a little bit later.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
I think we will will pause that and we'll kind
of come back to that musical conversation later.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
What about kid, you're asking what I think?

Speaker 7 (13:37):
Yeah, look at you, the look on your face, the
whole conversation of just like.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Jackson and I off Wax talked about it a bit
and I didn't even know what a musical is.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
I was like, what's your definition of it? I don't know.
I had to look it up. There you go, that's
your definition.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
So based off that definition, I would think of Grease,
Lightning or just Grease as a musical.

Speaker 7 (13:59):
I think that's fair.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
His brothers musical all film. Those are like the two
films I remember off top. There's a couple other ones,
but I would consider those. Okay, those are musicals and
I enjoyed them. But I'm not the biggest musical guy.
Like I'm not when Wiged came, When WIGGI was announced
that was coming out, I was like, Oh, I have
to go see it. I was like, not my back,
But I'm sure there are thousands of people, as you
mentioned Jackson.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
Under twenty five million so dollar.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
A lot of people enjoyed it, which is good for them,
but that's just not my bag. But there are some
that I have seen that I was like, God, that
was good, Like go Grease, like Grease Landing Greasy, really good.
That might be my favorite one. My mom put me
on back in the day and I was just watching
that over and over again. But yeah, there are some
musicals that definitely stuck with me. So yeah, there are

(14:44):
a few that I have seen that I've enjoyed.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Well, let's let's rattle through what we've been watching so
that we have some time to continue that conversation a
little bit later. I will quickly mention interestingly, I'm always
interested in the best animated movie at the Golden Globes.
I think that that's that's always an interesting category. The
Wild Robot, I thought was a shoe and to win
flow a animated movie about a black cat through a

(15:08):
natural disaster. It's a winner and it's still in theaters.
I'm going to see it next week and I'll report
beat if you have a black cat exactly. And my
wife and I saw that and we said, oh my god,
we have to see that and it's huge ratings. And
I mean, I think the Wild Robot was great, but
if this was the winner, I'm inclined to see it.
All Right, what we have been watching over this long break?

(15:29):
This is going to be the bulk of the show tonight.
Why don't we just start with Jesson. We'll go around
the room. How do you know we've given them names,
Jessmon McIntyre, Anderson Hurst, Christopher Kid, Jackson felt here, Jessman.
Why don't you start with what you've been watching over
the four weeks since we did the last episode of
So Hollywood Weekly.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Okay, well, these aren't brand new, and I'm not sure
if we even mentioned either of them.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Definitely not one of them. But nobody wants this. I
binged the heck out of that one, really, which you
think so good?

Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's why I binged it because you know it wasn't
one that I can know. It's like eight to ten episode.
I thought we were just talking about television show.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
It could be anything, So.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
That one it is so good. Adam Brody, sorry either
on the eyes, but there's.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
A scene where he tells her just put your bag
down and then like one of the most intense kisses
I've seen like on screen in a long time.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Their connection, their ability is like as actors is just
unbelievable and you can feel it the whole time. Music
is really good in it as well, the you know,
the and so it just adds a lot to it.
And it kind of it's a modern Lovetaiale too, because
we're you know, obviously there's seasons to come, because they

(16:43):
leave you.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
What I like the best is the final episode.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
They wrap things up for the season, but keep it open,
you know, where you're not left hanging hanging hanging at
the end of the season.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Who is your favorite character in the show?

Speaker 6 (16:57):
I think Andrews and I we we talked about Nobody
Wants and we talked about specifically the the different character
dynamics that they introduced throughout it.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Okay, so the is it the best friend or the brother?

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Is it his best friend or I mean it's Will
from It's Will from Succession, and it's Jonah from us Blanking,
there's Gary, there's all of it's it's Veep, thank you Veep,
Jonah from Veep, and and Will from I just.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Forgot if he's in the movie, it's his brother or
his best Friends show. I thought it was the brother,
so Willa well Will whatever her name is. Yeah, so
her sister and the other supporting actor. Those their relationship
is my favorite thing.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
And I can't.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Choose between them, said, oh really, I can't choose between them,
and which is my favorite? I think I like the guy.
I think he's a little funnier, but then all of
a sudden she'll snap.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Back put him together. It's yes, yeah, okay, I like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Awesome, but the yeah, those two are my favorite.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Continue oh and high potential, so that is okay. It's
kind of a guilty pleasure. It's on Hulu. So it's
Kaitlyn Olson, who I obviously love so much from It's
Always Sunny, Yes, and so I'm just like a big
fan of hers, and I'm also a True crime fan.
So this is kind of a crossover between those because

(18:22):
it's it's comedic. She's brilliant in it, and it has
this really good storyline going through the entire thing, so
it's serious at moments.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
She's brilliant.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
She's I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it,
but she's basically a non cop, non detective that is
just a brilliant, very observant, genius cleaning lady.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
Now, because it's called the High Potential and because it
is Kaitlyn, I have to ask, is.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
There we involved in?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
It has nothing to do with weed.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
I feel I feel like they could have added that
into the storyline of just.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
Maria thought.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
I kind of thought that was to be just with
the name and she's you know, this ditzy kind of
late no night, no no, no drugs.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
It's just all based off of like she's a cleaning
lady and she has high that's it.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
No double little entendre or whatever you want to call it. Yeah,
no play onwards.

Speaker 7 (19:14):
I kind of appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Yeah, I was expecting that to be, but I almost
in the fact that it's I mean, Rotten Tomatoes has
what ninety four eighty three audience.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
I mean seven point six on IMDb is too very
high for that well.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
Bad at all.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
And then movie wise, I think I told you guys
that I traveled so much of the Less Watch that
I watched. What was I saying earlier, I watched well, yeah,
that one. But we were talking out before about what
I had watched on the plane, and oh the Wonka
walka Wonka.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Yeah, Timothy Shallome.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Timothy shallow May. It was so good.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And is that a musical in your eyes?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yes, I do think it's a musical.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
I would agree.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
However I didn't. Yeah, I mean, you go to the
original and O. But there's so many songs, but.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
The new one film the.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Definition of like I would see the new I think.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
I think that the New Wonka all of the biggest
emotional moments come through songs.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Okay, yes, so, and Chalamay is amazing in everything that
he does.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
He was so so good.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
I think that somebody wrote all the college football stuff
for you.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Think so.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think so, Oh, I see, because.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
There was there was like a I don't know where
he appeared at a game or something. They kept interviewing
Hi about sports, and he had like all these like
very nuanced.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
It was college it was college game day. He went
on college game day. Yeah, somebody or somebody wrote that stuff,
think so.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, But he's like there's been like other things where
he just shows up randomly and then like talks about
his favorite soccer teams and then like all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
I think he was prepped with the questions. Let's say
he wrote them, but he was prepped with the questions.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
That's the least I'm willing to go. Yeah, I just
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
He's in so many different projects right now and all
those thoughts, and he was getting x's and o's intricate
breakdowns of minute teams.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, it's like, okay, on on my list to watch.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Also is night Bitch I can have you?

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, okay, it's on my list.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
Okay, Yes, I want to report back.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm putting a pin in that.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Yeah, please, because I'd love to hear if that's any
decent way, because that it literally is a woman turns
into a dog, right, I.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Think so like it's a female version that I wear
wolf kind of. Yeah, that's what it seems like. But
I haven't watched.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
That's funny, all right, I'm eager to hear exactly, Uh
what the hell that is?

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Chris? What did you watch?

Speaker 5 (21:34):
Man?

Speaker 4 (21:34):
So I did go see Craven really let's go? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
I actually enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I get the CGI might have been awful, and sure,
it's twenty twenty four, you should be able to get there, right.
I like I like the story. I thought the guy
that played Craven. He killed the.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Rotaylor Johnson, thank you, that's his name.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
Hopefully the next Bond.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
So, considering this is a flop, hey man get into
Bond because I thought he did a good job. I
really enjoyed the storyline of it. I don't understand why
people were hating on it, but hey, everyone has their
opinion of it. I went in there expecting to be
really really bad and was like, that wasn't that bad
at all.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
The hate comes a lot from from a couple of things.
I think Russell Crowe is getting complaints. I know that, Uh,
the CGI, especially on Rhino, is getting complaints.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
I get I completely understand that. I'm not going to
sit at there and say, oh, CGI wasn't that bad.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
No, CGI was not good, But the movie overall, it
doesn't take you out of it enough to where it's
a big issue. No, not at all, Because I mean
I think it was a Spider Man. When Jamie Fox
is in there, I was like, really that that looks
really bad and that was what twenty one.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
If I'm not mistaken, so be get nitpicked.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
But I still thought it was a decent to good
movie and I enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
I would watch it again.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
But there's other things that are out right now that
I want to get to check out, like Nosferatu, the
new dragt of All. Actually, and one of my good friends.
He is a A Plus member, as is Jackson. Right,
I'm Cinemark member, so I don't do the AMC And okay,
he's not a member of the a MC A Plus,
but Cinemark sign him up. So any who, he said
it was a really good film. He was like, I

(23:07):
just wish it was sped up a little more. So
I'll be checking that out eventually. I did see Juror
number two.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Let's I want to I want to talk about that.
So let's go. What did you think?

Speaker 4 (23:15):
That's a really good, really good movie.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
It it makes you put yourself in a situation like
that with what decision would you make. You have a
guy that's been accused of a crime and.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
Killing his girlfriend on the side of our road.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
I didn't even want to go that far, Diacson, let's go.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
So let's let's get into it here because we can.
We can do it without spoiling.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
Yes, at the end game, but I think the trailers
have all shown people if you're interested in it, the
fact that you're exactly right, Chris, that somebody's been accused
of murdering they're a girlfriend on the side of a road. Uh,
there is somebody who's been called in for jury duty,
who gets on the jury who thinks that they might
have done the crime.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
And now he's fighting this moral compass of do I
admit to something like this or do I just you know,
because now his wife is pregnant and he has had
issues in the past with alcoholism.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Wait, the juror thinks that he did it.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, sure, I didn't pick up.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
And here's the best part. Nicholas Holt plays that jury.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Do you like Nicholas Holt? Yes, look like him. People
say that I look like it. I see it, now,
see it?

Speaker 5 (24:19):
See it?

Speaker 6 (24:20):
You should else go be Lex Luthor talk about Superman
by the way later, but yeah, I see it.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
So he's fighting that dilemma. His wife is pregnant. You know,
have you did you drink any alcohol? And he's like, no,
that's not me. I've changed. And now they're at they're
in a room like this and they're going over, hey,
do you think he's guilty? Yeah, he's hella guilty, Like
come on, he got into argument with his girlfriend and
he killed her. But simple, let's get this guy in jail.

(24:47):
It's Nicholas Holt who steps up me. Nicholas is like,
oh my god, I can't, like, I got to stick
up because I know it might It wasn't him for sure,
but hey, maybe there's more to it. Have we done
all of our research? And they're like, to do guil
do what reason do you need? The cops gave us
the evidence. Let's put this guy behind bars. And it's
an example of how many times that plays out in reality.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Let me confirm one more time. Nicholas Holt's character knows
that Nicholas Holt completed the murder.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
No, he doesn't, because he doesn't. It was a year
ago that this crime took.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
What I didn't want to talk about it because now
it's still the premis, it's not exact. So a year
ago this girl was murdered, and he forgets that night
of a lot he thinks he hit a deer. He
is in Nicholas Nicholas Holt's character thinks he hit a deer,
but then he starts retracing the steps in his mind
and starts asking, wait, did I hit a girl instead

(25:41):
of a deer, and did I.

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Murder that girl?

Speaker 4 (25:43):
And the craziest part is it was pissing rain, it
was dark.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
He doesn't know, so he's like, oh my gosh, like,
oh was that me? And now you put yourself in
a position as a juror and you're wondering, Okay, what
evidence was shown?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
They didn't have any evidence.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
They were just going off of filing Yeah, feeling emotion,
but they're going off of the guy that has been
accused was arguing with his girlfriend. He has a pass
of being a little violent and TV. Yeah, so they're
in there like he definitely did it. He followed her
because they said, oh, did you follow your girlfriend? Yeah,
I was pissing ran. I followed her and then I
turned around and drove home. And they're like, well, why'd

(26:18):
you turn around? If you love your fiance, your girlfriend,
why would you leave her? So all of this is
the premise and and all of it to say, this
is an exceptional movie. Okay, Yeah, And I think it
puts you in a position where if you look at
some of these cases that have come out, incidents, whatever
the case may be, you look at it with a
different compass because now you sat it in there and
watched this guy.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
What are our feelings like? Clint Eastwood's movies. By the way,
he's stellar.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
They're definitely not d He does not date movie he does.
This is not a movie to go have a fun
night with your girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Man suppressing, man heavy.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
My man was ninety years old driving drugs across the States,
And I'm like, that's a great that's a great way to.

Speaker 7 (26:59):
End your life. You know, Grandorino is so overall. You
didn't see Grandchorino, Oh my god, check it out.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
It's again, and all the movies they are so heavy,
but and they're just so well done.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
And then my last TV show that I just started
as yesterday was Jerry Springer Lights Camera Action on Netflix.
So it gives you a little bit behind the scenes
on cool why they made this type of show, how
it came to be. And I've only watched one episode.
I thought I was phenomenal. I I remember watching Jerry
Springer like what the f is this? And that's what
they wanted. They wanted you to say, what the F

(27:37):
is this? That's why I have the ratings crazy.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
If you can't look away.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
You can't look away. It's entertaining. It's crazy. So those
are three Those are three things. Two things I watched
and the one thing that I just started watching.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
I'll get uh Andrews, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
I have been a couple of times since we talked last.
I saw Hitman with our with my wife. We loved it,
absolutely loved it.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Great movie.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I think you guys suggested it to me like it
would be. It was a great movie.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
That's a date movie.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
That is absolutely a date movie. And all I gotta
say is, uh, AnyWho the stewardess scene? I forget her name,
the actress. I put her on my list, by the way,
because she's in and Or as well.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Uh, you know what you said it we're going to
go down this do we all have lists with our love?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Incredibly?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
I gave Mike three Hall passes?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
What's your What are your three Hall passes?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (28:37):
It is you gave him? So that means you were
talking about your list or his list.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
His list that he's a lot oh for him.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Usually it's the guy, don't don't you have as?

Speaker 5 (28:48):
I gave him three that he chose like he has three?

Speaker 4 (28:54):
You approved them.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
People always ask me that past year one way, jeez,
even maybe it's both of them, and these chicks then
got something this impregnature and now you're like bringing a child.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
I feel like this, you took that way too far.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
By Yeah, I'm believing it. If I get my hall pass,
you kidding? Are you serious? I get to be with
my dream girl and you're like, nah, you gotta Yeah,
that's the obvious question here. Who are they? I don't
even know, you don't even know I have.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
There are so many beautiful women. I can't just go
just go three off the top of your ago, like
I'd have to go on the Google machine, because right, jessmine, continue.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
I honestly forget who the third one is Milic Mendez,
Like I think those are his top two the.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
Other GUYSZ and the other guys.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's yes, exactly, that's great.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Yeah, because it's so funny because I haven't been asked
that question until about a month ago when Anders and
I were out of dinner and he and I have
to like just my brain was just like, oh my god,
that's a thing that still exists. And then like I
did really really spell like about a week, like crafting
out exactly that hold on here, hold on, let's let's
think this through.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Now laminated sheet he's got here, and then he's gonna
post it on the fridge, be like proof if.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I ever can't get one of these women that I can.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
And then you'll run into the one that you can
cut off at the bottom, like in Friends exactly.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
And I was going to bring up Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
So ross is dating Rachel at this point, and he
makes his list, right, and he made it all laminated.
He like was meticulously deciding which one he was gonna choose,
and he bumped Isabella Rossolini and he runs into Isabella
ros While and Rachel's all like, oh, you know what,
we'll call this one a wild card. Go ahead, Yeah,
and he goes and gets rejected, and it's just really funny.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
It's a good scene, well, especially because it was Joey
going not too feign, what are the chances, and Rachel's like,
because he's got because that's.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
The reason why she's not gonna want to be with you.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
I think, I think very simply. I don't know, and
I'm a I'm a basic guy. Sidney Sweeney just tops
top modern era. I don't, unlike Chris, I would do
the opposite of that because I don't know if she
has a personality that I would want to be around.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Jackson, You're not about to stop.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
When it's your hall pass you you looked on Google yet,
Chris Meghan Good, even though she's damn near pushing fifties,
she still look great.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Either.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Just google scarlet scarlets a classic Christina Million.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh my goodness, she could million melod or million million.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Christina Million willgle those top two so far.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
It's Megan Good is absolutely grudgeous.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, oh she was in million?

Speaker 7 (31:52):
What was she just in?

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Megan Good? Everything?

Speaker 6 (31:55):
I just watched something with her recently and I can't
freaking remember what it was.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
So but yeah, no, that's so, that's the young Gallan.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
They're give me Coco Jones because Coco she can. Oh yeah,
Coco Jones.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
And even though Donald's a good call. And you know what,
my final one is a journalist. I know this is
crazy because we're doing a like we are broadcasting as
quote unquote journalist.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
But uh, Taylor Rooks. Sorry, oh no, she she fired.
I know Taylor the Rooks.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
She sat down in the nineteen I think we were
out there in Atlanta. She sat down like like two
seats behind me could smell her.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Anyway, said Shaye Butter and Coco Butter, let's come here.
How do you know that's what she wears? She's black?
What he said?

Speaker 7 (32:40):
It not me?

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yes, a black woman, Shaye Butter, Coco.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
You saw a hit Man?

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, he saw Hitman. I never give my list.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
Yeah, please continue, like can I please? Yeah, let's go
because I know is it?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well?

Speaker 4 (32:52):
What was her name again, Arianna? Who? Like, are you
playing the new James Bond? Right? That girl?

Speaker 7 (32:58):
No, he's talking about the girl in hit Man.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
She's also an and Or and I like it was
one of those times where like, like I feel a
strong connection I don't know what it is to this
character when I was watching and Or, and then I
watched hip Man and I was like, oh, now I
know what type of connection that is. Yes, a da

(33:22):
armas very fair. Yes, and uh it's I have a type.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
You can tell. It's teeny A t I N I.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
She's the one that played in Armor. She played in
one of those shooter movies, James Bond or something.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
No, it was in the she played with Daniel Craig.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
But in.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
What's Arms?

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Yeah, that's that's no. She's in the first one. No,
she isn't No Time to Die.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
She isn't y we are talking about the Army. Yeah,
she was in No Time to Die and she was
in Knives Out. Sure you enjoyed Knock Knock, and I
will say that she was in Blake Runner twenty forty. Yeah,
oh god, Chris Jesus was a hell of a movie.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
And Keanu reeves you lucky son of a bitch Yoh okay,
I need that.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
To happen when someone knocks on my door.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
Okay, didn't didn't he die?

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Probably?

Speaker 7 (34:15):
No, no, no, I didn't want to spoil that. No
he doesn't. But regardless of that, Knock Knock is a
fun movie.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
If your third name is T E. T I N I.
She's an Argentine singer. Please look her up.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
She's one of the most gorgeous people I've ever seen. Anyways,
we saw hit Man. Great movie, great movie. It's it's awesome,
like it was good for both of us because you know,
Glenn Powell's he's pretty hot too man.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's just.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
So we both enjoyed it. They had a really good chemistry.
I think that's that's a huge part of it too.
And it's just a good premise of a movie. It's funny,
like it's just a fun movie. Like it's not too heavy.
It's just a good movie, perfect date movie exactly. So
we had a good time with that. We saw another
one you guys recommended to me when we did our
Pixar draft was Elemental.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Oh yeah, and you like it, both of us for
the first time.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Yes, I it like moved up into possible would have
drafted category, which is not one that I would have
thought about. Yeah, it's really good. It's a really good movie.
It hit my wife really hard, way more than me.
But I mean, like, right, yes, yeah, Chris, did you
draft that? It was our honorable mention.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
I think we talked about it, but yeah, we.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Certainly talked well inside out got picked.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
I think, ye, yes, I said, but I didn't honestly
didn't expect it. It came out like two years ago,
twenty twenty two or now three years ago. Yeah, but
it just like was never something that I was like, oh,
I'm planning on going to watch that looks great, but
like we decided to do it since neither of us
had seen it. It hit, like I said, it hit
Augustina really really hard because like, there's a lot of

(35:51):
parallels to you know, what she's done for me in
our life. And it was actually we watched it right
after the holidays, and it was when she was really
missing her family.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Uh, yeah, it was.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
It was.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
It was a good watch for both of us in
a good way and emotionally good way. And like, uh,
I honestly didn't expect it. I knew the premise of
the movie. You guys mentioned it. Oh, it's about kind
of how like different types of people can be together
and their relationship and everything. But there's so much, so
much deeper level to it, and we both really really
liked it. So I highly recommend Elemental for those who

(36:24):
haven't seen it. Yeah, okay, and then I'm gonna bring
this up every time that I'm watching something, because I've
watched every episode the day it comes out.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
Skeleton Crew.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
Yes, we need to talk about Skeleton Crew as it
enters its final episode next week.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Have you caught up?

Speaker 7 (36:38):
Yes? I am.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
Well, And Franklin, before we do anything, Jess and Christopher,
do you care if we talk about Skeleton Crew Star
Wars Star Wars show.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Let's go all right, we're getting into it, so it
just I will say it again. It gives me heavy
goonies vibes in a good way, Like it's just a
good and it's it's for kids. It's a little bit
more geared towards you know, coming of age slash and
a little younger h pre adolescent adults and it's or
preadiclecent kids. I should say, uh, but it's it's really good.

(37:10):
It's just a fun story. There's there's some emotional parts
that I wasn't expecting h to come out of it,
and like it's from someone who it's hard for me
to relate to because I'm not that age anymore. But
it's like WHOA like, well done kid, actors like and
the main guy, Jude Law, does an awesome job. He's fantastic.

(37:30):
By the way, There's a lot of questions. It's kind
of a mystery as well. How did this planet that
you know, no one knew existed but it has this
unlimited riches get to become the way it is and
how are they going to fit it into the Star
Wars universe? Who is Jude Law? He's gave him some
hints about is he a Jedi?

Speaker 4 (37:46):
Is he not?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
He wields a lightsaber, he has the force, but the
way his character is just not very Jedi, Like, what
happened to him?

Speaker 4 (37:53):
What's his history? Do we know him?

Speaker 3 (37:55):
There's so many questions, but like it makes me want
more and more and more each time. So what are
your thoughts on it?

Speaker 6 (38:00):
First up, I'm going to say that I am going
to throw down and predict that we see Order sixty
six in the final Yes, it's not like every Star
Wars show because Jude Law I believe is directly connected
to that. And Jude Law I think is the star
of this show. Absolutely, he is phenomenal. But this is
original Star Wars content. This is something that they just

(38:21):
came up with, this entirely new story and entirely new background.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
No characters that we've ever seen before.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
None.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah, and it's just brilliant.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
And I think the voice acting from from the robots
and everything else, or they should say the droid, I
think it's it's just such an exceptionally fun show. And
I think episode seven was the best episode of the season. Yes,
and it includes a death that I won't spoil that
I think is bad ass. And it really if you're

(38:50):
a if you're a parent and you have a ten
year old watching that show because you think it's all
fun and games, just like this is a very Star
Wars in show. Yeah, and they are able to hit
on some very serious and very i think real Star
Wars concepts within a supposedly kids show that's not really

(39:12):
a kid show.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Well, see, this is where I think, and.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
That's what the Goonies. The Goonies was a kid's movie
that wasn't a kid's.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Movie, right.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
There's a lot of adults like concepts in it and themes. Yeah, yeah,
And I want to encourage parents who want to quote
unquote shelter their children and just want to have something
without that adult stuff to not do that. Like this
is a great example of why you want them to
experience this kind of thing. Like another one that makes

(39:40):
me think of that as Avatar the Last Airbender. There
it's a kids show, like full on kids show, you
can tell, but there's so many like very mature concepts
like Delt in it, And I think that's a great
way for kids to experience that thing, especially when it's
obviously not like this, it's not geared for anyone older
than them. It's geared for someone to that age, and

(40:01):
it's easier for them to understand, but it's also makes
them think, like, oh, what would I do if I
was away from my parents for that long? But I
want to continue to do that, Like everyone has thought
it's a running away at some point in their life,
Like especially at that age. It's just like there's these
things that kids don't know how to think about in process,
and movies and shows like these give them a great.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Outlet for that.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
And I want to encourage parents that are raising children.
I'm not going to tell you how to raise your kids, obviously,
but it's a great time for them to have those
conversations and have a way to feel those things, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
Since the original trilogy came out, I've kind of you overlook, obviously,
the the latest two trilogies.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I think, yeah, and I kind of I like prequels.
I think prequels really good.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
You can and that's fine. I think that for me,
it's been kind of this. There's Rogue one I didn't
I didn't not like Solo, but it's it's the Mandalorian
and and for me, I kind of look at and
obviously and Or, and I think and Or is the
greatest star Wars content ever created.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
And that's a good example of something that is for
adults very much. Kids won't understand what's going on, Zach.

Speaker 6 (41:08):
Yeah, but I think I think Skeleton Crew follows kind
of like right behind the Mandalorian in the best Star
Wars content. If we do kind of do this with
this ranking and I would say it's it's and or
it's the original trilogy, it's Rogue one Mando interchanged, and
then below them right here at Skeleton Crew, I think
Skeleton Crew has just and if they stick the landing,

(41:29):
if they stick the landing, and maybe if they set
up something going forward with season two, because if they
decide to go that direction, I think they absolutely can.
I mean they've they've stumbled on something here.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Yeah, And it's it's like we talked about this before.
It's crazy like with all the other shows that they've
tried to do that, Like, it's so easy to make
a good Star Wars show or movie. See how you
do it really is it's you just make a fun,
like fun story, good characters, make it for kids, like
it doesn't have to be this huge concept thing. I
think and Or did that because that's kind of just

(42:01):
what the story is, but it's not that hard. You
don't try and pander to a certain audience. You don't
try and you know, do specific things just because you
want to have that thing in there, Like you just
tell the story and then it will happen. It's just
how good Star Wars the ip itself is, and this
is a great.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Example of how that works.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
My favorite before we move on, of all the Star
Wars content, number one is Clone Wars.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
For me, you still't watch that, I really want.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Your second one probably is and Or, and then I
would probably do Original trilogy prequels and the Skeleton Crews
might blow that, but I like, like, I'm a huge
Star Wars fan, so that having that be that close
to the top is really really.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Good for me.

Speaker 7 (42:38):
It's a great show.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
You got anything else before we move No, I think
let's move on. So now from my ridiculous list, let's
start on the animated stuff. Because as you all know,
I have not been a big animation guy. The reason
why I haven't seen Clone Wars, the reason why I
haven't seen a lot of animated stuff. But I would
say animated stuff really took over a lot of my
time and love that you Anderson recommended. Arcane on Netflix

(43:04):
has two seasons. I think the second season had recently
came out.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
I am only.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
Now five episodes into the first season, and I it
took me a minute because the animation style is a
bit different, definitely different.

Speaker 7 (43:18):
It definitely took me a.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Minute to to to get But what a show Arcane is.
I was not expecting to be as wowed as I
was by this.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
You know.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
I even I even made up my workout show since
I finished Lost, and I said, I'm gonna, you know,
I'm gonna try this out, but I'm ready to just
kind of switch to another show if I don't like it.

Speaker 7 (43:36):
And it has hooked me.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
And a show that can make me want to work
out because I want to watch the next episode.

Speaker 7 (43:43):
It's it's an animated show.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
And and the premise of the start of the first
season is they're kind of in this half utopian world,
half underground world.

Speaker 7 (43:53):
Dystopian, Yeah, exactly dystopian.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
And it's two sisters who are part of a group
trying to you know, make a life for themselves in
the dystopian world. Meanwhile, there is a scientist in the
utopian world who's trying to make a name for himself
with a revolutionary technology, and it's how their worlds collide.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (44:14):
And I did not think it was going to be
as good as it is. Water recommendation. Man, it's arcane
is hooking me, like hell right.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
It's one of the most binging that I've ever done. Like,
I binge this one really, like full on why front
to back? It was just it was that good. Especially
I think you've hit the twist, not the twist, but
just the there's a time, the change in you can
say that change in story.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
And boy, first of all, that change, that the moment
before the change. It gets me every time every time
I watch it. It's just wow.

Speaker 6 (44:47):
Also, I mean that that's it's it's a show about kids.
That's certainly not four kids.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Uh yeah, I'd say this.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Is more a is for late lateeens, early twenty like
and like young adults say that, yeah, four adults, I
would say, yeah, no, no, I mean I think but
you could say it's geared towards that crowd.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
So arcane I think is great. On the other side,
What If Season three for Marvel, Yeah, did any of
you guys watch season one and season two of What If? Nope,
don't even think about going down that run. It is
a three season arc of What If. They really kind
of start with a story in season one and they
really finish the story at the end of season three,

(45:28):
and my god, it's not worth your time. Jesus Christ,
I feel like I just waste thirty hours of my time.
May maybe the first season is the first season was solid.
I would say the first season solid. Second seasons okay,
the third season is just piss poor, awful.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Okay, I mean I'm seeing a forty four on Run Tomatoes.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
It's terrible.

Speaker 7 (45:47):
It's not worth your time.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Maybe that season just dragged it down.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
The problem is if you watch season one and season two,
you're like, Okay, I want to know what happens in
the end, but you'll only be disappointed, and you'll only
be pissed off at yourself were actually going down that road.
So I would recommend to anybody you might be a
Marvel fan, don't do it. Resist the urge to watch
What If. And if you've watched season one in season two,
don't even waste your time with season three.

Speaker 7 (46:11):
It will only disappoint you.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Right, that is disappointed.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Let's flip back to the good animated stuff. We drafted
holiday movies. Yes, the last time we were around, and Anderson,
you drafted its clause er Klaud Klaus Class Klaus is
an animated movie from what about three years ago?

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Five years ago? Now really that far?

Speaker 6 (46:34):
And I didn't know anything about it, and I don't
think either of us did any of us know anything
about it?

Speaker 2 (46:41):
No, I mean I wasn't here for that show, but
I don't.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Sure that one that's the best holiday slash Christmas movies himself,
and I don't think it's particularly close and it this
the really dumb part is the fact that I was
told and you and Chuck Powell both told me that
it's an emotional movie. Yes, and I didn't really grasp
how emotional it was. But then the story also connects

(47:07):
to something that my wife and I are going through.
And here I am I just think because I watched
it on a flight down for vacation and I'm on
the plane.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
It's a short one too, just over an hour and
a half quick movie, and.

Speaker 6 (47:20):
I'm on the plane and I'm just I am basically
at that point crying. I could say I was welling up,
and now they were actual tears. Coming down the face
and I'm like the first thought that going through my
head was God, damn it. Andrews got to cry on
a freaking plane.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
Hey, planes make you cry on a plane. You know
that's a thing, right really? Oh yeah, that elevation and
when you're going, Yeah, it actually makes you more emotional.

Speaker 7 (47:45):
Right, Well, I don't feel as guilty.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
Yeah, it's all plane on me.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Geez, I'm on my twenty planes a year.

Speaker 4 (47:51):
Okay, yeah, that's before you get more into it.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Am I the only person that when I watch a
movie and cry, that makes it a good movie?

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Yes, here's absolutely I am the only person.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
No, we do a draft of the movies that the
moments in movies that made you the most emotional.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Didn't know you did? No, you said we did do
it that. No, we need to do that.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
We did, Like we talked about it. Yeah, it's kind of.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
Similar movie or movie as a whole that emotions because
we did sat As Death those what about.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
What about twisting it then to like moments that just
like you know, brought you to the most emotion. Could
be could be an Avengers end Game where you know
it's it's uh, you know, Captain America gets the or
or that, or he gets the hammer and you go, oh,
my freaking god. You know moments that just make you
leap out of your seat or have a feel some
sort of big emotion. But anyway, Klaus did that for

(48:47):
me and it was tremendous. And it's still the holiday season,
I would say, and Klaus is well worth everybody's time.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
It's like, it's a short one. Just would you do
it with kids too?

Speaker 7 (49:01):
Yes, yeah, absolutely, it's it's ageless.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
It's I think time you could watch that in June,
frankly would be a good movie. Yeah, it's it's so
damn good Klaus is. I'm mad that I didn't see
it before the draft because I think, yeah, he's the
he's not the boat captain that goes back and forth
nor McDonald one of his final roles. Wow, Yeah, voice

(49:25):
acting was was perfect, just like Which is an incredible,
incredible movie.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
So that was on the good side of animation. I
don't know if I have any others that regarding animation.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
And animation just dominated you.

Speaker 6 (49:41):
Yeah, so I'll hit on so few other things that
I watched Civil War, I watched a movie that came
out last year or the year before, A.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
Kind of a weird movie.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
I would say from a journalistic aspect, I just rolled
my eyes at it. Some decent action, Kristen Dunst is fine,
a few very very good scenes, but otherwise I kind
of just it follows biscuit photojournalists who follows a a
attack on the White House, as there is kind of
two Americas fighting against each other. Uh, and the access

(50:13):
that the photojournalists get is just I roll my eyes
a little bit at it because I think it's a
slightly unbelievable that a journalist would be allowed into where
they end up allowing them.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (50:23):
But anyway, So, so Civil War was okay. I watched
that right after Klaus, So it just kind of wash
the emotions. I'm so emotional right now. I need to
just watch something that's going to just bring me down.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
It's not just watch like John Wick. Just watch them
kill everything for like three hours straight.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
Yeah, when you want to just leave that. Killers of
the Flower Moon, I watched Killers of the Flower the
fly back.

Speaker 7 (50:46):
Uh. Solid, it's it's solid, it's it's long.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
At the very end of it, Martin Scorsese, the director
actually shows up. They end the movie very weirdly, including
the appearance from Scorsese, and you all know it's Martin Scorsese,
and you're like, okay, hi, thanks, And he basically narrates
the ending in the final two minutes of the movie,
and it takes you out of it. We talked about
moments that take you out of movies, like it just

(51:12):
completely takes you out of the end in what should
be an emotional kick, and he just doesn't deliver what
he thinks is an emotional kick. I will say Lily Gladstone,
who won the Oscar I believe for Best Actress or
maybe it was the Golden Globe for Best Actress, fully
deserving of it. She was an absolute force of nature
in it. I would recommend it if you happen to
be on a plane for four hours, but like, it's

(51:34):
hard to recommend it unless you're on a plane for
four hours.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (51:38):
I haven't finished it. I had to treat that like
a series because of how long it was. I'm like,
I can't if I'm not in a theater or on
a plane, I cannot sit still and watch a whole
movie like I need to be I need to be
in a place where I can't do anything else. Yeah,
like I paid to get into a movie theater. I'm

(51:58):
gonna watch it and I yeah, so I haven't finished it.
I almost just said, well, I'm on the last episode,
but it's a full movie.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Yeah, that's what I've done with Augustine. And Lord of
the Rings too. We just watched hour at a time,
but we did the extended version, so it's for our movies.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
So we just finished. We're doing the same thing. We
just finished Two Towers last night because we had to
get a new TV exactly where we said. I mean,
like it just is just it's so good, perfect.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Yeah, it's so good. When it's the date night for
you guys, you have to pull up and get them
him and I.

Speaker 7 (52:25):
Oh, oh, watch Lord of the Rings in a second. Yeah,
what are you doing Sunday?

Speaker 4 (52:31):
Yeah you double date night? That'd be cool. Yeah, I'd
be down. I just think august It takes a lot
for me to get Augustine. I don't want to watch
the Lord of the Rings. Oh okay, yeah, I got you.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
But maybe, like if we do it all together, maybe
I say, hey, baby, were going to the movie.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
Here is the funny parts this we're fifty three minutes
and rises, no chance she's listening to this right now.

Speaker 7 (52:51):
So she says, we got to this new TV and
she says, we have to watch Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 4 (52:55):
What lucky you damn it?

Speaker 7 (52:58):
Wait, we have to watch a Lord of the Rings on him? Yes,
thank you? Starting fellowship tonight.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
Yeah, And we have done it kind of in in
parts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and uh,
before we start return to the King and finishing the
Two Towers was a slog and she did not want
to stick around for it. And even then she really
was just kind of like, do we have to continue
with this?

Speaker 7 (53:21):
And it sort of is the element of.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
Like she appreciates that these are epic, epic movies, but
it's like, but then you kind of get into the
the episodic time.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
I'm telling that, it's just it's hard to see.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Augustine is the opposite, Like I cannot drag her to
start it for the life of me. When it starts,
we do, she's like, oh, that's really good, let's keep going.

Speaker 7 (53:41):
Ah.

Speaker 5 (53:42):
Yeah, it's like going to the gym exactly winter exactly.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
Yes, yes, that is a great example.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
Well so, so anyway, either all that to say that
Lord of the Rings is going well right now, quickly
rattling through the other things. I watched Joker Too. I'm
gonna call it FOLI a dud. I know it's like
Folia Do, but it's just a dud. The first hour
I thought was was good, and the last hour is
just very and just you want to fall asleep, and

(54:12):
you want to I wouldn't say walk out of the theater,
but you just constantly ask yourself, where is this going?

Speaker 7 (54:18):
Why should I care?

Speaker 6 (54:20):
And And as good as the first movie and first
half of the second movie are, they just blow it
to Kingdom, come in the thing in the final hour,
and it makes it for my money, not worth your watch.
If you're a fan of Joker one, I don't recommend
Joker Too. Keep it as it is in this kind
of and I know you don't like it. I thought
Joker one was very good and.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
It I just don't. I don't hate it either that
I think.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
There's a lot of people who hold it up and
and don't let yourself be disappointed by Joker to anybody
else's Joker to.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I did what you think, I would agree with you.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
I didn't think about it in that way, but I
was it was almost like a crescendo to nothing, you
know what I mean, where you like that, like you know, okay,
like there can be some middling after the first arc. Okay,
you know, sure it'll cool off a little bit, but
where's the next one. That's kind of how I felt
about it. But I also love Lady Gaga, and.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
She was she was once. She was wonderful in the
parts that she was in.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Though, yes, she was really really good. They just they
basically just wrote her out of the movie at a
certain time.

Speaker 5 (55:23):
That's what I don't get, because it's almost like this
reminds me not to be really weird or old about it.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
But when they had.

Speaker 5 (55:30):
Drew Barrymore on all of the Scream promos and everything,
the poster, the yeah, just I don't know, that's the
first thing I could think of when something like that happened,
where you're like, wait.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
A minute, she's not even in this movie.

Speaker 7 (55:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
So anyway, I was.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
I wasn't really expecting because I really liked Joker one,
I like the first one, but I wasn't going into
it expecting anything in particular, So I was like entertained,
and I just kind of felt myself wanting to app
it up without comment.

Speaker 7 (56:01):
I think, I think you nailed it with that, but yeah, no,
I think it's a dud.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
On the bright side, Dune Prophecy and that anybody was
watching Dune Prophecy, I thought it wrapped itself. Well, it
was a slog for a while, but I think it's
worth your time. On the other side, Silo right now
is still going and Silo is hitting on all cylinders.

Speaker 7 (56:20):
That is a show well worth everybody's time.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
You mentioned It's Always Sunny earlier. Do you have any
interested in the show Abbot Elementary.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Because I don't know.

Speaker 7 (56:30):
It's a it's a it's a I think that the
best cable comedy right now. It's on ABC.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
They did a crossover with UH with It's Always Sunny
and the interesting thing there. The reason I bring it
up is because that's an ABC show crossing over with
an FX show, which is an interesting dynamic that I'm
not sure networks have gone that far, So NBC mixing
with CBS. It kind of makes no sense, but they
managed to put it together and I thought it worked really,

(56:56):
really well and it.

Speaker 7 (56:58):
Just was laughing my ass off.

Speaker 4 (56:59):
Last night.

Speaker 6 (57:02):
Has anybody else seen The Penguin. Yeah, yep, let's talk
the Penguin.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
You guys can do it. Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
I've seen the first couple episodes and I hadn't resumed it,
but you can.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
You can spoil it.

Speaker 7 (57:13):
Colin Ferrell wins the Golden Globe for Best Actor.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Disorderly so unbelievably.

Speaker 7 (57:18):
Absolutely incredible.

Speaker 6 (57:19):
Christin Miliotti probably should have won Best Actress because she
is exceptional in it as well. She has an entire
episode in the show that might be one of the
best single episodes of TV going all the way back
to Last of Us. It was Bill and Frank that episode,
so overall, for me, the Penguin Jess Chris, I think

(57:39):
was an a plus hit that. If DC is smart,
and I'm not sure if James Gunn has the final
call on this, they need to lean heavy, heavy, heavy
into these characters into this show because they got something here.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
And Colin Ferrell is amazing.

Speaker 5 (57:55):
He is unbelievable. I think there was no question that
he was going to win that. You know, I don't
hero shady these things can be. He was going to win.
You could not deny him that. And my favorite thing
is to watching I don't know if you saw like
the final rap session that they had, you know, casting
crew and everything, so he's all.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
In his behind the it was behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah, you can google it. It's on YouTube.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
But he's talking in his regular voice, but he's dressed
up as the penguin. It is so hilarious and almost
jarring to him because he's so nice and he's thanking everybody,
but he's dressed like the guy.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Who says, you know, boyds and you know stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
What a crap accent by the way, that insults me.
It's someone from a city, so uh.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I know.

Speaker 5 (58:42):
That's how like pigeons used to talk in cartoons when
they were why I want to like, nobody talks like that. Okay,
there's Brooklyn, there's New York City. Those are two different accents.
There's Queens and there's Long Island. Those are four different accents.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
As Mario and that's Long Island.

Speaker 7 (59:00):
Christopher, what do you think of the Penguin?

Speaker 1 (59:01):
I enjoyed it, man. That was one of the top
shows for me in twenty four.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
Really.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Yeah, the writing, how it ended, and you realize this
guy is a piece of crap, you know, it just
that that made me sad. You know, seeing the young young,
the young homie go out like that. You know he
was going to do anything spoil it.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
You can't, I said, you can't.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
You if any There's a lot of people that might
not have it's also show.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
But it's so good, just the rioting. It's a mom movie.
Someone's gonna die. It doesn't spoil anything.

Speaker 6 (59:32):
It's spoiling that people die in the Sopranos' just a death.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Anderson, this is like, all right, all right, this is
what you do, okay, And that's why I'm like, I
get why.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
I understand you weren't with the fall in love with
the Penguin. That wasn't the point of this.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Yeah, he's a dark he's a dark character, and you're
seeing how he became the penguin. And I thought the
story was just phenomenal. And now I'm starting to hate him.
But you know, but that's you shouldn't you should get exactly.
You should hate him because he's the Batman villain, exact guy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
But three episodes in, I'm like, all, this guy's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
As hell, man, but you're you're rooting for him making
a name for himself.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
He was a driver and now he's becoming from driver
to running his own empire, and there's problems along the way,
and those problems become more big problems.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
And he always finds a way out. And I love
his walk.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Yeah, well why they did that?

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
And did you notice in some of the earlier episodes,
like when they do flashbacks, he doesn't have it? Yeah,
So like they did a really good job before telling that,
because I was like trying to pick up on everything
I see.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I think, like a producer, where.

Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
It becomes more he has it as a kid because
he busts his or his foot is is it?

Speaker 7 (01:00:44):
Is it a natural thing that he's born with.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Or either way, he has this walk thing as a kid,
and it's just how his walk progresses into the penguin walk.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
We know the right feet that are like you know,
they show his feet at one point there's a formity
he has that, but there are certain scenes where he
doesn't have the brace and his walk isn't as bad.

Speaker 6 (01:01:05):
Well, Christopher, you mentioned the writing, and like, I think
I think that's the thing, like that this is writing
that could be read out of the Sopranos, which I
just started as well, by the way, and I think
that it is so sharp and so tight and so believable,
as you know, as a final I'll say it New
York City mob Boss, right, because because you really do
buy into the world that that DC has put you

(01:01:28):
into here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
And my goofy ass thought at the end that it
was a sign of Penguin too coming back in.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
My homie was like, no, Batman too.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
I said, what does Batman two come before the second season?
Is you think that's lost?

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
So you ignore the fact that I thought it was
the second season Jackson there, that's not in development. They're
talking about the new Batman that's coming out. It's gonna
be the Penguin as a villain, because if you remember
at the end, you see the nice batsan.

Speaker 7 (01:01:52):
Yeah, oh, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
Gonna be season two and Batman's in it. No, brother, no,
it's gonna be Batman too, and Penguin's in it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
I was disappointed.

Speaker 6 (01:02:02):
And that's and that's a good question is how does
she play into this? Because no, no, she she changed
the name. She she ended up taking.

Speaker 4 (01:02:12):
Out.

Speaker 6 (01:02:14):
I mean every scene with her Miladi Miliatti was incredible.
So the Penguin. If if anybody is a fan of Batman,
even the slightest fan of that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:25):
I'm not a huge Batman fan.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
And I felt bad for her, but like, as her
story progress, I'm like, damn, they did hurt so much.

Speaker 7 (01:02:33):
Yeah, it's it's really really good.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
Let's quickly wrap up because we're in an hour and
three minutes right now, So I do want to rap
by talking about the other kind of big news in
movies and and what's going on over the last month
or so. Uh, and that is Superman. There is a
new trailer for James Gunns Superman, and this is probably

(01:02:58):
one of the most hyped movies for two twenty twenty five.
We saw a very colorful trailer, very comic book accurate things,
including mister Terrific, including lots of other side characters that
they threw into this trailer. It was obviously a very
busy trailer with lots of characters, Lois Lane being played
by Rachel Brazahan, the new Superman being played by David

(01:03:20):
Korn Sweat. That's Koran sweat, not corn sweat, which would
be very accurate seeing as how of course Clark Kent
is from Kansas, but Missouri, Kansas, Missouri. Either way, this
was an interesting trailer to say the least. It's gotten
a lot of hype and a lot of criticism. So
let's just kind of go around the room and assuming

(01:03:43):
we've all seen it, Anderson will start with you. This
is a movie that DC is trying to and James
Gunn is trying to kind of restart the DCU with
What do you think of Superman's first look?

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Full disclosure, I've never been a huge Superman fan. I
always have that there's obviously there's connections between the Marvel
heroes and the DC heroes. I equate Superman to Captain
America and then Iron Man to Batman. Right, you got
the billionaire like guy who doesn't actually have superpowers, but

(01:04:19):
he's just kind of smart enough and does his own thing,
builds his own suit, kind of more grounded character, and
then you have the kind of larger than life like
for humans superhuman but also like their personalities are almost
too perfect in a way. So like those types of
characters I have a hard harder time connecting to. I've
never really been that like close on the DC universe.

(01:04:42):
That being said, I wasn't that interested in the Marvel
universe until, like I was really heavily influenced to watch
all of the Marvel movies, like kind of back to
back to back, and that's when I really got into
the MCU. So maybe I could be if something really
good kind of grabbed my intense. Uh your question on
if this movie needs to be good for the superhero genre.

Speaker 7 (01:05:06):
Because that because that that question right there, we didn't
post it, so sorry, I thought you mentioned that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
I do.

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
I do want to hit that question after we finished
talking about the trailer, but I guess the rap it
before Christopher jumpson, is is did the trailer make you
want to see the movie?

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Yes, I haven't decided yet.

Speaker 7 (01:05:22):
Haven't decided yet. J justmin yes because I'm a big
yes too.

Speaker 6 (01:05:25):
And I think, I think because it just comes with
the we saw Man of Steel, and Man of Steel
was all very dark and ominous and Superman is this,
you know, godlike character that people you know almost look
up to in fear. This seems like a Superman that
people that wants to be one of the people. It's
it's sort of like the tagline is look up. Not
look up to Superman as a god, but just look

(01:05:47):
up because he's flying and and it just feels like
a different kind of Superman.

Speaker 7 (01:05:51):
Than we've gotten in a long long time.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
I feel like it's going to be a lot more
explorative into the person that you know he is.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
That's the case I will be all for, Like almost.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
It had to me an origin story. Feel I love
origin story me tooenerally.

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
That's my favorite names moment.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Oh my gosh, I love that movie. So anyway, I
love all origin stories.

Speaker 5 (01:06:12):
Now this isn't gonna be like pre anything that we
know about, but I think it will go deeper into
the characters around him, his family, how he grew up,
more than go ancient movies, ancient Superman movies. I think
that's what I got from it because.

Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Man of Steel and the Og Superman nineteen seventy eight,
they both do the all the way back origin story
saying this is how he was born on Krypton, he
was sent to Earth because Krypton was being destroyed, and
like those two movies, and I think the nineteen seventieth
Superman is wildly overrated and just mind numbingly rough to watch.

(01:06:48):
Christopher Reeve is excellent to Superman, but just like certain
moments in that, like flying around the Earth to reverse time,
just is like you think we're stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
I'm seventy eight, just bad.

Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
But I will say I think you're right, and this
is going to be very much kind of the ogtail
of Superman, maybe the ogtail of Clark Kent, Like, like,
who is this many's around him? His relationship with lois
the superheroes that are part of the DC universe around him,
and how they all Because you can't have Superman fighting
big monsters in the sky as the trailer shows and

(01:07:22):
not just say to yourself, Okay, but this is the DCU.
Aren't there other superheroes around? So James Gunn's doing that,
it seems.

Speaker 7 (01:07:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
And if that's the case, I didn't I didn't fully
grasp that in the trailer. It just I didn't get
that vibe. But maybe I'm completely wrong. I'm not, you know,
someone who kind of predicts what's going to happen in
the movie based on trailers. But if that's the case,
i'd be I'd be pretty excited for it. Chris, what
are you looking forward to it? And I just want
to see it. It just looks intriguing. Yeah, it just
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
I mean, I haven't seen I don't think i've seen
any of the latest Superman just didn't field the need
to watch them. Like Man Steel, haven't seen non A
Justice was bad. I haven't seen that. Didn't see Superman
versus Batman.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Saw that that.

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
Actually I haven't seen the fighting ended because they realized
that their moms have the same name. That's That's the
dumbest freaking movie decision I have ever seen.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
I will continue on the path of not watching either
of those. But this one.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
I saw a trail. I said, Man, that looks interesting.
I want to know more, And of course I won't
know more until it comes out. I mean they might
show maybe something in the next trailer as we get
closer to the release date, but for now, I'm I'm
on egg shales, like, oh, this looks like it could
be good. Now, the question is, does the super hero
movie industry, and we're talking about Marvel DCU need this

(01:08:38):
to succeed because Marvel's right now at a point where
it seems like it's one up, one down, one up,
one down, and it can't find a run. DC obviously
is James Gunn knows that the whole DC YOU really
relies on this movie to kick it off, because if
it's bad, then nobody's gonna believe that he can.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
Revive the DCU.

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
And you wonder that if people love this and sud like, Okay,
now we're back, and you know, superhero movies can be
this good. I wonder if the industry, if the superhero
movie industry needs this movie to succeed.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
I don't either really why because I don't I think
James Gunn does. I don't think that the industry itself.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
I think DC definitely does.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
Maybe I don't even know what Marvel's doing nowadays, Like
what's that playing?

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
In What's endgame? It's like, oh, okay, what's next?

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
How many just stop there? To be honest, they couldn't.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
But I don't think even okay, let's say they just did.
I don't think it would be because this movie failed.
I don't think this movie has the entire industry at
the string.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
I'm gotta see what Jackson's saying, though, because I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
I just don't think, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Fair, Like DC is not gonna be the one to
save the I mean, maybe they could go on their
own MCU run here. If this is really really good,
let's play out two different roads.

Speaker 6 (01:09:53):
Okay, let's say that let's say that Superman is not
good and people end up saying it's just too busy,
it didn't have a coherent thought, James Gunn didn't have
a true Superman story because he had just lean on
all these different other characters and it just wasn't there,
and the DCU kind of just falls off and nobody
buys into what James Gunn was trying to build. Ye,
then at that point you then look to Marvel and

(01:10:15):
if people say, listen, I've already had superhero fatigue, another universe,
you know, just died. How much am I really going
to put into And at the end of Doomsday and
at the end of Secret Wars, does Marvel at that
point say, listen, Okay, we see the way this is going,
and we saw that people have fatigue. Let's just give it, like,

(01:10:36):
you know, eight ten years, and we'll redo with an
entirely new situation and let's just end the MCU as
we know it for a good long stretch. I think
it's entirely possible that if this is bad enough, it
may trickle down to people saying, all right, the fatigue
is too much.

Speaker 7 (01:10:52):
Now I'm just gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
Stop, or just the era of superhero movies is over
at that point.

Speaker 7 (01:10:56):
Exactly, Yeah, exactly, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
So I guess in that sense the word yes, I
think this needs to be good for that to carry on,
because I agree, I think if this is bad, I
don't think Marvel is gonna come out with anything that's
going to be good enough to kind of get everyone's
attention back. And yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be the
first time that something like that has happened. There's been,
you know, fluctuations of eras of different types of movies

(01:11:18):
that kind of go through their ups and downs, and
this would be one of those cases.

Speaker 7 (01:11:21):
Because if it's good, if it's really good, it keeps
it going.

Speaker 6 (01:11:24):
And then suddenly the DC is back, DCU is lit
and people are suddenly invigorated, and then we have we
have a new Marvel, and then Marvel's trying to compete,
and then maybe they need to increase their quality to compete,
and suddenly we're on a good stretch again. Either way,
the trailer is interesting and it should be very interesting
to see trailer number two as well. The theme, by

(01:11:44):
the way, the music they brought back the John Williams
score from the original Superman with like kind of a
rock thing.

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
Yeah, well done.

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
Okay, okay, okay, I like that. Yeah I do too.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
And like, just while we're on the terms of the
idea of hero movies, superhero movies in their era, I
think the reason why it was so popular was not
because there was a thirst and need for it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
I think it's just the MCU was that good personally.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
So I don't think it's this situation where people are
looking for this type of movie and they have a
thirst for it and they need it. I think it's
just that's how good those movies were, and how well
they tied into each other, how well the characters blended in,
and how much chemistry that group had more than anything else.
So that would be very in my opinion. That's why
it hasn't been replicated is because it's really really hard

(01:12:32):
to do. And it's not that this type of movie
is just kind of dying. It's just that, you know,
we won't have a run like that ever. Again, I
don't think we will.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Well, James Gunn has a hard task in front of him, yes,
just to try to build what is the one of
the greatest movie empires ever.

Speaker 7 (01:12:47):
Yeah, and he has a task, but.

Speaker 6 (01:12:49):
We've gotten the first look for David Kornsweat and Rachel Brosnahan,
an amazing casting for both of them. We'll see if
it's any good though, and look forward to a second trailer.
We're at one thirteen right now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
All right.

Speaker 6 (01:13:00):
The question is do we just put the musical draft
ranking thing onto the next episode?

Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
We'll continue that conversation in next week's I think we'll
try to put out one next week. There is still
a lot to go over shows ending this week, including
Skeleton Krus, So we'll come back and we'll talk about that.
But that'll do it with a long, long conversation about
everything going on here. Jesson and McIntyre, andrews Hest, Christopher Kid,
Jackson Felts. We thank you for listening to Hollywood Weekly.

(01:13:28):
We'll talk to you next week with more of our
thoughts on TV and movies.

Speaker 7 (01:13:32):
Have a good week, everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
I'll do don care. That'll do.
