"Would you eat a sweet soy-glazed hot dog wrapped in seaweed… or are some culinary mashups just too far?"In this wildly entertaining segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the bizarre, the delicious, and the cinematic. The episode kicks off with a hilarious group reaction to a viral food photo: a misubi roll—a sweet soy-glazed hot dog nestled on a rice patty and wrapped in seaweed. The crew debates whether hot dogs and sushi should ever share a plate, with KT firmly declaring, “I’m comfortable choosing a hot dog or sushi and keeping them separate.”From culinary confusion to cinematic excitement, the gang shifts gears to discuss the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor. The buzz is real—Steven Spielberg himself called it “insane” and compared it to Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove. The hosts geek out over the trailer, the absurdist tone, and the massive \$130 million budget, wondering if this could be Anderson’s biggest box office hit yet.

It is a sweet, soy glazed hot dog on a

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Yeah, there's so there. It's such a thing that spam.
Sushi rolls are are the thing. They're very common.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh, I can't I didn't know that. I saw that
pop up on my timeline.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
That is happening.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know, we love smash burgers and various burgers around town.
That's happening at Herbie's and Oak Cliff. Yeah, great burger spot.
But I saw that pop up on my timeline. I
mean thought, man, I need to get the show's reaction
to there's Stevens.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah, I haven't tried any of that spam stuff, but
I'm sure it's goods Fred. It's basically Fred hot dog meat, right, yeah,
the same thing this, Yeah, this, this is actually hot dog.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Though I'm comfortable choosing a hot dog or sushi and
keeping them separate.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, I think that's fine.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I think it's fine too. The thing that I don't need.
First of all, I'm not eating rice and the seaweed
wrap around it. I don't need that. But the hot
dog looks delicious. What about a sweet soy glad? Yeah,
that looks delicious.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
All right, let's play you some audio. First of all,
I never know what to hear, believe, or see or
whatever when I just get random TikTok reel sent to me.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't know who this person is.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He may have made all this up, but I believe
it and I got excited about it. This is about
a new movie coming out.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Steven Spielberg is losing his mind over Paul Thomas Anderson
and Leonardo DiCaprio's new movie. And if this doesn't get
you hyped, I'm not sure what will. So if you
don't know, Paul Thomas Anderson is releasing a new film
on September twenty sixth. It's called One Battle after Another
and it's being described as an action thriller. It star
as Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Minicio del Toro, Regina Hall,
(02:39):
and Tayana Taylor, and a lot is riding on this
movie for Warner Brothers because the budget was at least
one hundred and thirty million dollars, so the studio must
be relieved to hear that early reactions are very positive.
New York Times pop culture reporter Kyle Buchanan even called
it an Oscar front runner. But master director Steven Spielberg,
he's really excited about it. At a Q and A after
(03:01):
a DGA previous screening, he told Paul Thomas Anderson, what
an insane movie. Oh my god, there is more action
in the first hour of this than every other film
you've ever directed put together. It is really incredible. This
is such a concoction of things that are so bizarre
and at the same time so relevant. He then compared
it to a Kubrick masterpiece. I have not seen a
(03:21):
movie that is so tonally a relative to Stanley Kubrick's
Doctors Strange Love. This brings a kind of absurdist comedy
taken very seriously because it's so much a reflection of
what's happening today, every day throughout this country. Spielberg also
praised DiCaprio and said this is his favorite Sean Penn
performance ever, and he concluded, may film live forever, May
we never be replaced by AI, and may this movie
(03:42):
make a bundle and make you very happy.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I loved it.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I read something I was thinking about bringing this to
the show this week and just got away from it.
But I read someone said this is the best movie
since twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I just liked choose the best movie period.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
When I saw the preview of it, I really did
lose myss because at first I didn't realize I was
watching a preview for a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. I
was just watching DiCaprio and Benisio del Toro, who I
love both of them, and Sean Penn is great, and
I was like, God, this looks amazing. And then when
I saw it kept unfolding. I was like, what is
this movie even about? And then when I saw it
(04:20):
was Paul Thomas Anderson, I was like, holy cow, that
looks incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So is it a comedy? It's it sounds like it's
just an action thriller.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But the clips that I saw there were moments where
it was sort of like irreverent comedy.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Have you ever seen Doctor Strangelove? No, but every clip
I saw of this looked like a comedy.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So Doctor Strangelove is a movie about nuclear war, but
it's very funny, and it's got Peter Sellers in it
playing three different characters, and he's one of the greatest
comedy But it's it's a satire, right, So satire can
sometimes not be overtly comedic, right, But the clips I saw,
to your point, Ben, it just felt like it had
a comedic tone. But I am very very excited about
(05:02):
this movie.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
One thing though, that I heard in that that I
was like, what when they said they spent one hundred
and thirty million on it, because my brain immediately went to,
what is the highest grossing Paul Thomas Anderson movie of
all time?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Did you look it up?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I did? Don't look it up. I had to look
up who Paul Thomas Anderson.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Boogie Knights Magnolia. There will be blood. Boogie Knights.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, Boogie Knights Magnolia, there will be blood. He did
Punch Shrunk Love with Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Because Adam Sandler, he did. I mean, he's done a
ton of stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's there will be blood. It's seventy nine million dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I need to see this.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Wow, and that's like a three hour movie. Did you
ever see The Master?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And I think I should.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
With Philip seymour Hoffman, Uh, he he made you know,
some of his movies are pretty challenging.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He also did, uh, what was the licorice pizza? Pizza?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
If you look at the movie poster for this with
Leo wearing the big sunglasses that when you get your
eyes dilated, I'm like, that looks comical. Yeah, So I'm like,
I don't know if it feels like a comedy.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I think I think it's gonna be so unique and
onto its own.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's been. I mean it's a comedy. I think like
comedic elements in it. I think it's a crime drama
more than.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
A Yeah, action thriller is what it's being described as.
But if you've ever seen Doctor Strangelove, it's all of
those things combined into one. It's like, you know, global satire.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So you don't really know what it's about.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean, I think Leonardo DiCaprio has to has to
find his child. His child's Been is a washed up
revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia. So
he's a stoner, okay, and he's surviving off the grid
with his spirited and self reliant daughter. But then his
evil nemesis resurfaces and she goes missing, so then he's
scrambling to find her.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
There you go. Yah.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, that's straight up a good fall for cinema. When
is this movie?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think the twenty twenty six Yeah, all right, fantastic?
All right?
Speaker 5 (07:08):
