“Why do we keep watching the same movies over and over again?” That’s the question that kicks off a fiery and funny roundtable on this episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle.Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into the summer movie madness—where Brad Pitt’s new F1 film is burning rubber at the box office, and yet another Jurassic World sequel is stomping into theaters with “water dinosaurs that punch like alligators.”Krystina, who saw the F1 movie ten days before release, breaks down why it’s basically Top Gun on wheels—and why that’s exactly what America wants. Meanwhile, the crew debates the endless recycling of franchises, from Mission: Impossible to Jurassic Park, and whether nostalgia is fueling creativity or killing it.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Juicy news, hot God, every come, stay on top in
the woods.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Shove roots. So today is Monday, June thirtieth. Christina saw
the movie F one back on the seventeenth, I want
to say, because she saw it ten days before it
was released. Yeah, the week before, so she got ahead
of it. I'll tell you that it's doing very well
on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a ninety seven percent audience score, wow,
(00:36):
eighty three percent from critics. And you know, I think
it's one. I think Christina said I when she did
the segment. I was like, it's kind of like top Gun,
but with F one cars it's exactly like top I
was like, when America's gonna love it? Yeah, so your
big box office weekend Winter was the F one movie
(00:57):
fifty If we're gonna round up fifty six million domestic states, yes,
about one hundred and forty four million globally because F
one translates, you know, to every continent besides Antarctica.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Is that one forty four outside of America or combined?
You know, you're saying things that I don't know the
answer to. That's why I was asking Christina.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Let me just say with confidence and authority that you
can tell us fake.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Sure, that's good.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Okay, took a good job, Brad Pitt.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, I do know a lot of people who saw
it this weekend. I was amazed, like, oh, you guys
already saw it. Oh, already saw it?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, okay, Well, now where are we on the It
really it's going to drop on Wednesday, But the July
fourth movie is Jurassic Park Jurassic World Rebirth with Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I don't understand why they just make the same movies
over and over. Now and then there's eleven, Fast and Furious.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But now we're on the island. We're even the most
dangerous time? Right this time?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Is this one's got those dinosaurs?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
This time they're like alligators and they're pissed. I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm pretty much in because it's too hot to do
anything outside, so I think i'll probably it's got dinosaurs
in it and Scarlet. What could go wrong?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I'll go see it too.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Are you gonna go see it on Wednesday?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Probably not on Wednesday, but over the weekend maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I'm so disappointed that Mikey won't drop thirty minutes into
a bear. That's unbelievable. I'll pay per view this thing,
but I won't go to the theater for that.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You like the Big Spectacle though? I do, but I
just can't.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I just can't if it's it's hard for me to
get excited about it when there's so many of them.
Scarlet Johansson Man, yeah, post baby. I don't think she's
getting naked though. Yeah, with her emotions raw and exposed.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah, some crazy be so upset with you. Ben, You're
not going to the movie theater.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
To a movie.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
You're right right now, let's go get them and them?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And how many Missions Impossibles are there?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So I was never a mission POSSI. Oh my god,
you're admitting this. He listens.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, he's a huge listener now, Tom Poop Top Gun
Maverick was so good that I think it bled into
making this good.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The last Mission Impossible movie was the best of all
of them by far, and it was a really well
done movie. But there's a huge flaw in that whole thing,
this idea that Okay, here's a character doing terrible things
or doing something. Oh look it's Scooby Doo. You can
just rip the face right off, and it's not the
real person. That happens in those movies. It happens in
(03:33):
every one of the movies. It's a staple that it's like, oh,
it's not really him, it's someone wearing a face mask.
See that was only realistic in Face Off right, thank You, which.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That was really it's a little different.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
But again, I think it was on the heels of
Top Gun Maverick and this stout and the nostalgia. That
is the whole reason I was excited about seeing this one,
and it was great. It was like the same recipe.
But again, all these movies that are the same ones
over and over.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
No, I'm just not interested.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This is where I think everyone's probably gonna go watch it,
and I don't think people are gonna like it because
until you start killing main characters, the story is the same.
We're running from dinosaurs, and that's my fear.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
They just didn't have like Jeff Goldbloom and Laura Dern
and it does it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm sure gold Bloom will show up. He showed up
in the last ones. Yeah, I'll watch anything. When they
might have killed they might have killed him, but he
showed up in the Jurassic worlds okay, but Christina would know.
I should know.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
More about this than I don't. I'm behind on all
of this because I thought Laura Dern was. But I
think that was the last one they did.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Watching that one, I saw the first two of them. Yeah,
the second one was so bad, the second one. The
first one was good. Yeah, I don't know this one.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I think they all suck. All right, There you have it,
Brad Pitt first one.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Coming up next in just over three minutes. It's the
Wayback Machine things that happened on this week ten years ago.
