Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast. I'm
your co host, James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm the other co host, Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
On this week's episode, movie theaters could be in big trouble,
Jamie if rumors surrounding Netflix are in fact true. Award
season officially underway, which means it's one battle after another
for movies competing for the biggest title.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I see what you did, like.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
What I did? Yeah, we have a local filming news
both movies that are in pre production, those that have
already filmed, but based and maybe shot here in New England.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I'm still stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Did you catch them all? Pokemon? Celebrating a milestone that
breaks our bones and makes this makes it so ever
so sad? Give you absolutely and what else gives you
back pain is if a anaconda gets a good hold
on breaking back pain. We have a review of the
new is not a reboot, it's not really a sequel.
(01:00):
It's a meta It's.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Something very in between, which is fun.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, you know what else is fun? Apparently people love
they just can't get enough, or for many people, they've
they've had enough for years. Stranger things yeah, after fifteen years,
Stranger Things, that's coming to an end. This is ridiculous.
Not fifteen years and nine years.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, I was gonna say, come on, after.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Twenty five years, the adults that are playing nine year
old kids can finally put it to rest. But no,
Stranger Things came out nine years ago when Obama was
President's Wow. Yeah, that again. This is the old show.
This is the episode that's going to make us all
feel old and gray.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But I don't like that schedule.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
This but incredible that we've seen the progression of these kids,
not only in the story but in real life as
they've grown as actors.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And parents themselves. Oh my gosh, it's insane. Well, they had,
of course, the final They broke their final in two
parts part one to part two of season. Whether it
was six or seven, I know it took nine years,
but they have like five or six seasons. They broke
it up, and then they ran the final series finale,
(02:13):
not only on Netflix. They'd released it I believe it
at midnight or something, but they also have midnight screenings
as well on New Year's right, New Year's Day? Yes,
so big theatrical turnout they raked in around twenty five
thirty million dollars for that. And so I'm not sure
if you've kept in touch with the internet buzz, yes,
(02:35):
buzz buzz, But people whether either loved the ending, they're
satisfied with the series finale and how it all wrapped up.
And then there are people like I spent nine years
of my life invested in.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This right right, Well, I don't know, I don't So
I was with a group of people New Year's Night.
Everyone saw it but me. Right, I picked up one
person from the movie theater who had seen it in
the movie theater, and then the other half of our
group like went to go watch it at someone's house
after midnight.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So I love that it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Was this communal experience for all of these people who
have been following this show for so long. I think
they did a really great job of milking that and
making it as big of an event as they possibly could.
And from what I heard, uh from from the people
I spoke to, they felt like it was It was sad,
(03:27):
it was emotional, they were tears, They felt like the
actors themselves. It felt realistic the tears that they were shedding,
uh in the finale, because everything was coming to an end.
It felt very real, it felt very personal and sad.
I haven't heard any negative reactions from at least the
(03:47):
folks that that I know who loved the show and
who have watched it were terribly behind.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, terribly You're only you're only behind if you want
to be in that, in that race, in that lady
want to Yeah, if you're you're not behind if you
don't want you But for me, and we mentioned this before,
but I probably watched maybe up till season three, and
then after that, they're like, yeah, it's kind of kind
of going all over the tracks, and you know, I'm
not sure they know where they're even going. And so
(04:13):
but for BZ Radio WBZ here in Boston listened to
us on iHeart Radio. I talked to folks because there
is that buzz online people. Some people loved it, some
people hated it. Some people were overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or just whelmed.
So I went out there and talked to folks like, hey,
what are did you want? Did you watch it? And
too what did you think? And those the few that
(04:33):
I did run into and they did watch it, Yeah,
that was that was it. One person said it was fine.
I was. I was expecting something more of like of
Game of Thrones where more people die, where they're more
like you feel the stakes and everything, and they have
another person yet no spoilers, but I guess. But yeah,
the thing it's all again. It is full now. But
you know, another person said that, yeah, they just felt whelmed.
(04:56):
It was it was okay, like it wasn't. It wasn't.
It didn't leave them ass satisfied as they're hoping for
after nine years. So I actually asked them, hey, so,
what are some other shows that you have watched that
with the series finale, you know, you were left satisfied
or or it did it also like just not stick
the landing. And one person said the Vampire Diaries. Have
(05:18):
you watched that show?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I've watched it, but not all the way through.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Somebody is not happy with the with the the series
finale of that. They said, you know, yeah, after devoting
so much time and effort, it's very disappointing when you
have an ending that's just kind of like, yeah, that's it,
that's all. It culminates too.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know what, There's a show that I actually was
not a fan of, but I thought the finale was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And that was Dawson's Creek. My husband made me watch.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yes, oh my god, he loves Dawson's Creek and forced
me to watch the whole show. But you know what,
the finale wrapped things up so well. It was self deprecating,
it was personal like it you know, it felt very natural,
and it was funny. It was really funny and heartwarming,
and like, I really really enjoyed the finale of Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Did they ever cross that creek? They're like, yes, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's like so and so ends up with so and
so and it's like, oh no, is it Dawson or
is it Pacy? Yeah, but I mean the way that
they handled it at the end, like, you know, it
was very nice.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It was very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, I was satisfied, say with like Breaking Bad. That
was a great series finale. Somebody mentioned that they watched
Star Trek Enterprise and then the final episode of Star
Trek Enterprise is the first episode of Star Trek like
the Next Generation or something or something like that, and
so it's kind of like a time loop of sorts,
and so they said that, and he has their friend
(06:43):
group divided, but that got me questioning. You know, hey,
those who are listening and watching to the podcast, what
show is your show that left you either utterly satisfied,
no notes, you know you could put that show to
rest happily or what show did you dirty? Did you wrong?
Maybe it straight common down below? Yeah, and let us know.
But speaking about Netflix, of course, they had a big
(07:06):
day on the streaming services, They had a big day
at the movie theater. And but they want to limit
your days. They want to limit the number of days
you can watch Warner Brothers movies if they do acquire
a deal with purchasing the studio. And that is if
these rumors, these are all rumors, all allegations, But there
are rumors that Netflix has settled to for a seventeen
(07:29):
day window of a theatrical release for any Warner Brothers movie.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Don't they have enough?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
That's wild? Seventeen days is wild. Yeah, And the thing is,
if this is true, the CEO of Netflix is kind
of is kind of a lying, appears to be lying
because a while ago, a couple of weeks ago, when
this rumor came out, he said, no, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do a two week technically he's not lying.
It's a little more than two weeks of a release
date in theaters, but man, a seventeen day run and
(07:59):
move theaters before he gets pulled onto streaming. That's wild.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Nobody will be able to see the movie.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, unless you sign up to the Netflix with their
new upgrade plan.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
But it's awful because you know we both have kids.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Take time.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You can argue this is easier for you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I don't want the crappier experience. I want the cinematic experience.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Wait for me, dude.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, got to give people that window. You got to
give them that time to actually get out there. People
have lives, they work, and it doesn't mean that just
because you have life and that you work and you
can't get out to the theater.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That you should miss out on that.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Experience on the movie going experience on seeing it on
the big screen.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Don't take that away.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Don't stop being stingy okay and greedy, and don't you
have enough?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Netflix, don't you have enough?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Allegedly, stop it, just stop. Yeah, So these rumors continue
to swirl, and until the ink is dried on the
contractor deal, then well we really know what they've decided,
but a seventeen day window seems bonkers, absolutely bonkers to me. Jamie,
you know what's not bonkers? Hmm? Guess you know, art museums.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
No, no, no, thank you for guessing. They put you
on the spot. But yeah, but the fact that Leonardo
DiCaprio's One Battle after Another is already out the gates
winning awards and according to the critics, to the National
Society of Film Critics, they gave One Battle after Another
(09:40):
the top prize of Movie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
So so, Leo, you know, I feel like he doesn't
have enough awards for the work.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, poor Leo, Poor poor Leo. He needs more accolades.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But I, you know, injure agree, but he is under awarded.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, for his body of work.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean, from from the very beginning, from like What's
Eating Gilbert Grape.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Loved that movie.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, he deserved a lot for that performance being so
young to everything that he's doing now, So he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He's a good actor, he's great, he's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, ever, but he's also he's also a truth teller.
He tells the truth through his films, right, sure, now
this is a few more accolades are sprinkling, sprinkling on him.
But he is in the biz, of course, and so
he knows he can see where the wind is blowing,
and he is he himself is questioning whether people still
have the appetite to go to the movie theaters. He
(10:43):
actually says that, you know, cinemas may become just like
jazz bars, a very like niche thing where not everybody
goes there. And they said that, you know, people are
just maybe potentially tired. And there's some data that supports
that theory because according to Deadline, a movie going attendance
for twenty twenty five, so a five percent decrease from
(11:06):
the year before.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So think it could be a lot of reasons for that.
But yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I just think it's funny that he uses the word appetites.
Do we really want to trust Leonardo DiCaprio's opinion on appetites?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It depends who.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, and he's saying niche, like movie theaters are feeling niche.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I just I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I think he's a great actor on the screen. I
don't know how much I trust his opinion on life
and other things.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Outside of actings.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Stick to the script, Leo, stick to the script.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't think it'll be niche like jazz clubs. I
don't think it'll be for old people.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Especially if we work to preserve that.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And you know what, like we've been talking about, people
are rebelling against society right now, against streaming. It's the internet,
right and they're radically you know, and they're rebelling by
pushing away technology and going back to things that are physical,
going back to things that are communal, going back to
(12:18):
the theater, going back to having digital, physical media, things
like that. At least we at least we are right.
But I know that other people are as well. So
I think that there's a push and pull in all
of these things. And I think people are going back
to the theaters. So I you know, whatever the data,
maybe it was a.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Rough year in the theater. There weren't I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Do you feel like there were as many huge hits
or things that drew people into the theater?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Not necessarily. I think next year is going to be
a big, big, packed, stacked year because you're gonna have dune,
you can have a vendors doomsday. There is rumor or
were that Dune Part three and Avengers Doomsday will be
coming out the same weekend, so we're gonna have a Doonesday,
Avengers Doings Day. I would like weekend, so back to
(13:08):
back maybe viewing of that. So maybe maybe we'll have
a better year in twenty twenty six. We are in
twenty twenty six, so hopefully this will be a better year.
But I was gonna say something about what was the
last thing you said before this, before you ask me
a question? Oh, you know what, I guess going back
to you know, cutting off the cable, the internet cable,
(13:29):
going back to analog technology is the real punk, as
Superman would would believe. But you know who is really
punk and mister Conan O'Brien. That guy's punk as hell.
And we are so happy because I think it was
last week's episode we were actually saying we hope, at
least I was saying, we hope that Conan will come
back to another year of the Oscars. And he made
(13:52):
the official announcement and he's hosting this this March, the
next next Oscars, and he didn't, And of course the
best Conan kind of way, mm hmmm. He comes out
on like on on a stage all white, dressed in
his you know Oscars suit, and he says like, oh, like,
I wanted to do two things this year. You know,
I'll host the Oscars and learn how to churn butter.
(14:14):
And he starts churning butter and then the butter catches fire.
He's like butterfire, butterfire, and just the wacky and randomness
of Conan's humor. And so that was a great way
to announce it. So Conan O'Brien looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And what are the Oscars?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
March?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So and for anyone who is in SAG you and
I are both sag afterra You're wearing a lovely sag
After shirt right now for those who can't see it
right Oscar season voting season. The SAG Awards are March first,
before the Oscars, but.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Until the Oscars.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Anyone with a sagcard with a sag After you know

me know about that. But yes, actor Tony su who
(15:09):
our man on the ground letting us know things. Uh,
so you can watch movies for free all the way
through the oscars. You know, if you don't get your
screeners or whatever, you want to go see it in
the theater.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
All these screeners now are digital, so they send us. Yeah,
back in the day of when I yeah, we used
to get DVDs. I have like old DVDs of like
of screeners from shows and movies like in my in
my drawers and whatnot. And yeah, no longer they just
send you a link. How boring is that to put
something in to my DVD player? Which I bought my
wife a DVD player for Christmas. So yeah, so again
(15:45):
where we are the real punk over here? Going back
to CDs. That's right, that's how that's how we're supposed
to be. Oh, DVD is that's all supposed to be
with DVDs. But you know what else is supposed to be.
Massachusetts is supposed to be the home of filmmaking in
the future of so much so that you know, we're
getting productions left and right, right and left, up and down.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It was a really great year last year.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, and we're looking at another good year exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
So pre production is happening on a feature film that's
going to be getting underway on the Cape. This is
called Play the Edge in Chatham, right, They're going to
be filming for what twenty days in downtown Chatham.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's a crime thriller directed by award winning Boston director
writer Peter Horgan, who we should try to reach out
toutely get on the podcast. The film will shoot as
you mentioned, twenty days. They are actually currently in pre
production and seeking supporting and lead roles as well as
a few production roles. So if you are in the
New England filmmaking industry, you know, check out local listings,
(16:53):
local casting news and try to see if you can
get some work on Play the Edge. That is, right,
what's the what's that? That ice hockey? But also figure
skating romantic rom com movie that came out years ago,
The Cutting Edge, The Cutting Edge that was like Play
the Edge, The Cutting the Cutting Edge, Cutting Edge that once,
(17:15):
as a think we've talked about it before too. Yeah, yeah,
I think I saw once and you what do you from?
What do you remember? Would you recommend?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I don't know if it's the edge, but there is
a log line, there's a description of what this movie
is about. Uh, and it's about a down on his
luck pizza chef Cam Uh sets his boss up for
a robbery on Christmas Eve. Thirty minutes before the armed
robbers arrive, Cam hits the lottery and what happens when
(17:44):
you try to stop a crime that is.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Already in motion. So excellent, sounds fun sounds funny.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, And not only that, but we've also got our
first look at something that was produced here last year
and it's going to be coming out soon, Widows Bay,
and that is going to be coming out April twenty
sixth on Apple TV Plus.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Nice, very exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It is about a feeble mayor of a cursed island
town who doesn't listen to the superstitious residence of his
town about this curse.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We did, we did, We.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Brought you plenty of casting whenever. This was shot predominantly
on the North Shore Boston. So very exciting to see
this principal at a lot of local principles, a lot
of local talent in the background. Uh. So it'll be
exciting to see this one when it comes out April
twenty six I believe they're going to be doing another
(18:49):
season as well, so looking out.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
For for that to Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Two Bay. Is it going to play on two B?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I pray I'll speak about Apple TV though. There's a
new show on Apple TV that people are raving about.
Do you know what it is? Let me look it
up real quick. Apple TV new show rave to do Pluribus.
Have you heard of Pluribus?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
No, pluribis is getting I don't have Apple TV, but
like it's one of those things where, like, you know what,
maybe this is worth subscribing for a month or so.
But Plurabis is an American post apocalyptic science fiction television
series created by Vince Gilligan. Another of Breaking Bad and
Better Call Saul. So uh yeah, A lot a lot
of is a black comedy drama. A lot of buzzes
(19:39):
around this, around this show. So one thing to look
out if you've seen Pluribus, let us know what you
think without spoilers, please, And what we will try to
do now also is tell you about the couple movies
without spoiling it for you, because I don't know about you, Jamie,
but I actually enjoyed Anna Conda, Anna Conda, don't none.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it too. We both actually saw
this for once.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't know how your feed, whether it's Instagram or
TikTok or YouTube, has been over the past like two weeks,
but I've been inundated with like Jack Black and Paul
Rudd just clips interviews, you know, you know them doing
challenges for like nah ones, but you know shows like
that on the Internet. And I love this pairing. I
love Jack Black and Paul Rudd working like side by side. Yeah,
(20:27):
like they're a perfect match together.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I don't think that Paul Rudd gets enough credit for
his comedic chops and having him next to Jack Black
is just it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's so good, so good that they themselves the personality wise,
like off screen, off camera, just like you know, being
interviewed or whatnot. They're hilarious, and so when they were
able to work on a film together, it's just magic.
It's just magic in a bottle. And I wish that
they do some other teama maybe Anaconda two and a
Conto to do two. But I need more of this,
(21:05):
this pairing because I love it. They were both in
the Dewey Cox story walk Hard, but they played the Beatles,
like John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and they said they
that was like the only real time they've worked together.
They've obviously been around in the sphere and worked on
little little stuff, but this is their first time working
on such a long length on a film, and you
(21:26):
can tell the fun they're having on this film. So basically, Anaconda.
This is not a sequel to the nineteen ninety seven
film starring Jennifer Lopez An ice Cube, but it's kind
of like a meta and it's not a reboot, but
it's like a meta film on that subject. So basically,
it's about a group of friends who are going through
a midlife crisis and decide to remake their favorite movie
(21:49):
from their youth and a Conda, but encounter unexpected events
when they enter the jungle. Directing and co written by
Tom Gormican, who also wrote The Unbearable Way of Matt.
Of Talents, as we mentioned, starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd,
Steve zan is On, I always mispronounced her name than
Dewi Newton, Selton Mellow, and Daniella melchor Melichora Melchior.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We don't know, We're sorry, but yes, I really.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And you mentioned it that the meta part of this
very self deprecating, very I love It's a Sony movie. Yes,
they have the rights to Anaconda to remake it, so
it's a it's a remake about a remake in which
another remake gets made, and then the actual actors from
the original come back, but not in the way that
(22:42):
you're expecting, because they're playing themselves as their actors, but
not as their characters. And they end up in the
remake that right, but not actually in the remake of
the remake because they were making the other remake.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's amazing, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right now, I'm kidding, no, no, but this is actually
so this reminds me of very much, of course, Tropic Thunder,
which Jack Blackhall start in. And Jack black in all
his countless interviews I've seen recently of him, he said that,
you know, when when he was presented this script, he
absolutely loved it, and he loved working on Tropic Thunder
so much that this kind of meta another film, looking
(23:17):
at the meta making of a film, being in the
film get caught up in an actual real life story
of it was very enticing. And so he heard that
Paul Ruad was also getting tied to it, and so
they made a quick phone call like, hey, are you
part of this? Really it's like yeah, I am like
okay man. So they talked for like ten minutes on
the phone. Then they're both on board immediately. But yeah,
(23:37):
basically this isn't a spoiler. But Paul Rudd's character, he's
like a D list actor. He's appeared in some like
you know, some shows. Yeah, nothing too big. He was
on SWAT. That's like the joke, like he's on SWAT
for like a season or two, but then he got
killed off. Anyway, he's not his his acting career is
not doing so great. And so and he finds out,
you know, he remembers his buddy Jack Black's having a birthday.
(23:59):
He goes back to town, you know, along with his
other childhood friends to throw him a party and whatnot.
And you know, he says, you know, he just wants
to he wants to do more acting. He wants to
you know, relive the glory days of when he and
his friends were kids making films like B movie films.
And so he says, you know what, I somehow got
the rights for Anaconda and if we just you know,
(24:20):
devote our money and resources into this. We can do it.
Let's let's do this. So yeah, after a little bit convincing,
they're all on board, and then they're literally on boarder
ship like in the in the Amazon Rainforest, Amazon River,
and then the high jinks ensue, right, And this is
one of those movies. The funny thing is last week
I said, you know, I'm gonna go see Marty Supreme.
It's being considered like one of the best movies of
(24:42):
the year, all all the praise and when not, Timothy
shallow May is amazing. And so I'm looking at movie
show times and I see, okay, Marty Supreme eleven fifteen,
and then i see Anaconda eleven forty five. I'm like,
you know what, like sometimes, you know, I like great movies,
and you know, when things are getting good buzz, I'm
down for it. But also I'm also down for fun
movies and the movies that are kind of silly. And
(25:04):
I was feeling in a sillier mood. So I went
with Anaconda and I was not disappointed. Yeah, I was.
There were several moments where I'm gut busting and laughing
with how ridiculous things are happening or setups are being
are being done. Yeah, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
It was dumb, it was fun, Yeah, but it was
also good. Yeah, but it was also good. And if
you're in acting whatsoever, like this was a great movie
because it has all of the characters. It's you know,
the writer, the washed up actor, you know, all of
the jokes about getting things made and how difficult it
is in the industry and all of that. So it
(25:39):
was just it was really really I felt like extra
fun for me being in that industry. So, but I
think anyone in the general audience could enjoy it as well.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, I think you can tell how much fun the
cast were actually in the real cast of Yeah, Ana Conda,
we're enjoying making this film. And it's one of those
movies where like in knows what it is. It's like,
it's not going to be like the best movie of
the year. They're not trying to be the best movie
of the year. They're just trying to make a funny,
silly movie, but which actually does have some good little
like jump scares. There are roments where you're like, oh crap,
(26:13):
the snake is there, or it's coming or where is it?
And so there are actual moments where you're like, oh,
there it is.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And I like the cameos too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Cameos are great. We'll keep that under wraps. Yeah, but
but yeah, Cameo is a great, a solid, solid, fun movie. Overall.
I think it was like an hour thirty, you know average.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
We'll see it again.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I would see it again too. This was This was
a fun movie. The chase scene where Jack Black has
something on his back, that whole sequence was I was rolling.
It was, it was. It was fantastic. So I don't
know if you're looking for something that's not so like,
you know, you know, like the best movie of the year,
or critics are praising no whatever, like you're you're looking
for something fun, Yeah, go check out on Anaconda. I
(26:55):
really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I really enjoyed it too. Yeah, I second that emotion.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Well, there was a movie that came out earlier this month, sorry,
this year, maybe about five or six months ago, and
was getting really good praise and I was curious to
see it but never got around to watching it in
the movie theater. But Sorry Baby came out on HBO Max,
and you know, again, I knew very little to anything
about this film, which I like to go into movies
(27:21):
like that, going in not knowing what to expect and
just going for the ride, and so filmed in New England.
Film in New England. Yeah sorry baby. Basically, it stars
I'm right here Eva Victor, who wrote and directed this film.
She also stars in this film as well as the
main protagonist. Basically, the story is after a tragic incident,
(27:42):
a woman played by Eva finds herself alone while everyone
else continues with their lives as if nothing had happened.
Also starring Naomi Aki, Lewis can Sell Me, Kelly McCormick,
Lucas Hedges who's really good in this film, and John
Carol Lynch who's also really good in this film. Again,
I'm gonna go deep into this, but this is a
(28:03):
movie that that kind of caught me by surprise. It
is a definitely a heavier, slower pace film that definitely
doesn't shy away from drama. Has funny moments for sure,
but it's more of a you know, this person went
through a tragic experience and it's them trying to overcome it,
or at least live through it and get through the
(28:24):
very end of it, and at the very end, it
kind of ends in an abrupt way, which I wasn't expecting.
I had to check the run time. I was like, oh,
it's actually over, but the way it ended, I was
actually tearing up because it's a very emotional scene. I
told my wife about it as well. But it's a
surprise hit for me for sure. So if you're not
(28:45):
in the move for Anaconda, if you want something with
a heavier topic but excellent acting, excellent writing, like you
feel like these characters are talking to each other as
anybody in the real world would or react to a
certain scenario, I would recommend sorry, baby, trigger warning, So
just throw that out there so be aware maybe of
something that may be triggering of sorts. But I recommend it.
(29:08):
It was a good film, awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And receiving critical acclaim. Yeah on the New York Times
list of wasn't it on the top ten?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Let me check it because I think because we did.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Talk about that last week, solid, solid film all around.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Anything else that you're.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Watching, what am I watching? I'm gonna start continuing to
watch The Chair Company on HBO Max starring Tim Robinson.
I kind of fell off, but just because of you know,
no time, but I'm trying to get back on there
because I interviewed somebody who said they love that show
and it was a great ending, so I need to
get back to that. The pit starts starts back up
(29:47):
this month, which this is how you do it stranger things.
The pick came out like last year or so, and
they're back the next year with a new season, Like
you don't need nine years to put together five seasons. No,
but that's basically what I'm kind of watching right now,
about you.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Okay, I kind of got forced to watch something. So
I was watching Entourage, which is not something that I've
ever actually watched.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But yes, produced by Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Uh huh, yes, and I never I had never seen
it before. I've never seen it before. I kind of
got dropped in the middle of it, and I guess
the best way that I could describe it is like
Sex in the City but for men.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah. I used to watch it.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I didn't watch it like religiously or like every season,
but I watched a good majority of it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So a shout out to actors, uh Dennis Grahetta, Tony
Jamie Babino for forcing me to watch Entourage.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I mean I liked it.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
There was an episode with like eminem.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
The part cameos.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I was kind of surprised by the number quality of
the cameos, Like.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Really, the talent agent Ari, I'm forgetting his last name,
but he's hilarious, Like he's a crazy, crazy character, but
like a badass hilarious character.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And the funny thing is rewatching that show or clips
of that show, like that's old, you know, kind of
like old Hollywood where you can't do that kind of
stuff anymore, or else you'd get me too. There's a
lot of like me two scenarios that you can't do anything,
you can't do anymore that were like oh, that's part
of Hollywood culture, or doing this or that, not like
the extreme stream stuff, but there are things that ride
(31:31):
that line, like Okay, nowadays you'd be you'd be canceled
so quickly for acting this certain way or calling somebody
this or that, or treating coworkers like again, for example, Ari,
the agent of the main character, like how he treats
like his staff and everything, Like, yeah, you can't do
a lot of that, And so this is interesting at
(31:52):
the time. Capsule of what that period of Hollywood was.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Like.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I was just a little confused at first because, like
I said, I've never seen it before. I'm like, is
this supposed to be like more comedic meta or is
this is just like legit Like they're like, it's more
of a drama, and it is. It's like more of
a drama, but it's comedic too, and so you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The comedic I caught on. Yeah, the comedic stuff really
pops from like the Hollywood culture like that. It's like, oh,
they they're making fun of or highlighting the ridiculousness of
what Hollywood of the industry is, or how how it
unfolds or how people act in it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
There was another scene where they like got Christine Aguilera
in there, like they're paying her to sing at a
birthday party and she's.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Like, you know, you only paid for an hour.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I'll give you my ticket, you know, my my box
seats to the Knicks or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I don't know. So it's just I liked it. I
enjoyed it. I might watch some more.
Speaker 1 (32:43):

cin a quote. Basically again, it's like a wordle but
with a movie of the day, and you have up
to five guesses per quote to guess what it is.
And we've been pretty good. I think we got it
last week. Yeah it was The Holdover.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, excellent, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Very exciting. So this is gonna be game number Oh
it's a Sunday stumpa too.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh, it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Game one one six so one hundred and sixteen, all right,
I want to play with us. We're gonna go with
quote number one in three two one wind at.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I haven't got to do anything out on his restaurant.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The swasher has done show up.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
I told him that you did.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
So this sounds very old timey.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
No, I'm have a feeling we're gonna get stumped on
this side.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I think we should just go to the next quote.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay, next quote, your next quote, I have no idea
three two.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
I MISSI.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That sounds a little more familiar.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah. I think maybe that was like an old timey
clip in a movie. That's a period piece. Okay, Oh,
but not sure. All right, next quote, keep going maybe
number three.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
So I go rock band coming up of an album,
you gotta promote the record, going onto it. And I
realized this after a month it was dead and I
did too little, too late.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
That sounds very familiar, and the voice is so familiar.
Hold on, it's like a rock band coming up of
an album. You gotta promote the record, going onto it.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
And I realized this after a month. It was dead
and I did too little, too late.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That sounds so familiar. I know. Oh, I don't know.
This is a stumpa.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh geez, all right, let's go to the next.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Oh my goodness, okay, next one.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We can do this. We'll see.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
I had a very famous agent and he said to me,
I don't know why you always take the hard road.
And my answer was, you think I see two.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Roads and I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
If there was an easy road, i'd have a house
thing I should. What do you think I get up?
I can't wait for the goddamn trouble I'm gonna get into.
I said, I don't see I see one road.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
James man, oh man, I have nothing.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
How about you guys listening slash watching? Any ideas?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
The ideas? Let us know, because a record a record? Goodness? Okay,
last the final quote. Let's see this is it? He suggested, Well,
we could get together a documentary. You know, if that's
not good, you can say, you can say no.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
He said, you.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Won't be hurting my feet. That's conan. He said, I
left my feelings on the Warner Brothers lot in nineteen
seventy eight. That's conan, I think.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
He unapologetically played to the band, you know, which was cool.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
If you're watching it, you enjoyed it because if you
got it, you really felt.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Special, just fearless, funny.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
He's so he got a wife, yes, yeah, okay, you
know I was.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
I was not offer if I could get one tattoo,
maybe I get the nest egg tattooed somewhere on my body.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
He will always be a filmmaker's filmmaker.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
You have to put him with Woody and Chaplain and
those people who controlled all parts of their film, who
made it an extension of themselves.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And so it's like it's a documentary of course that
that's first voice was coming to O'Brien. So these are
all comedians or filmmakers talking about somebody. It sounds like
a movie probably talking about and I'm blanking on his name,
the director of Blazing Saddle's Spaceballs, mel Brooks. So it
sounds like a mel Brooks like documentary. That's what I'm
(37:43):
going to guess, like something about mel Brooks. But the
documentary wouldn't maybe be called mel Brooks.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
No, would it be called.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Blazing I don't know, all right, it's a documentary about
mel Brooks.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe maybe mel Brooks. Maybe yeah, but are we.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Supposed to know the title?
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I mean, I think we just got to throw in
the towel, the towel to put blazing saddles or something.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Give up, I think just give up? Yeah, okay, okay,
let's see. Oh Albert Brooks defending my life? Okay, we
got Brooks right, Yeah, we got all right? Man? Yeah no, no,
so many people lost, so many people have lost this one.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Well, let's not feel bad about that.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
That was a hard one.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
We gotta stop recording on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
You know what's funny. I was the first two quotes.
I was actually thinking spinal tap. But then you know,
you heard it like, that doesn't sound like like Rob Reiner.
It doesn't sound like the actors playing the band. So man,
that was a toughie. Quite the STUMPA. That's okay, all right,
Well let us know. Did you know it was that that?
(38:56):
That documentary? Common down below, but also please comment down
below if you are interested in any of the topics
that we shared. If you watched Anaconda or Sorry Baby,
leave your review, maybe you know, go go crazy with
the spoilers. So here's your spoiler warning. If you're reading
the comments for anaconda or sorry baby? Also, what do
you think about a seventeen day window for theatrical releases
(39:17):
specifically by Netflix for Warner Brothers films?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And why is it terrible?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You know, why is it terrible? Who do you think
will win big at the Oscars this year? I know
Conan O'Brien has already won. He's already won. It's just wild,
wild year for Conan O'Brien. We'll leave it at that. Yeah,
Regarding some some sad news friends lost Rob Briner, I mean, okay,
what a crazy year last year was and and all
(39:44):
that jazz. So hopefully a brighter, happier year. It's off
to a great.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Star vision and for things films television made here in
New England about with hub On Hollywood, we will continue
to bring a casting calls well you know, when things
are going on down. But until then, until next time, James,
I'm Jamie, I'm James
This is the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast. I'm
your co host, James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm the other co host, Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
On this week's episode, movie theaters could be in big trouble,
Jamie if rumors surrounding Netflix are in fact true. Award
season officially underway, which means it's one battle after another
for movies competing for the biggest title.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I see what you did, like.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
What I did? Yeah, we have a local filming news
both movies that are in pre production, those that have
already filmed, but based and maybe shot here in New England.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I'm still stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Did you catch them all? Pokemon? Celebrating a milestone that
breaks our bones and makes this makes it so ever
so sad? Give you absolutely and what else gives you
back pain is if a anaconda gets a good hold
on breaking back pain. We have a review of the
new is not a reboot, it's not really a sequel.
(01:00):
It's a meta It's.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Something very in between, which is fun.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, you know what else is fun? Apparently people love
they just can't get enough, or for many people, they've
they've had enough for years. Stranger things yeah, after fifteen years,
Stranger Things, that's coming to an end. This is ridiculous.
Not fifteen years and nine years.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, I was gonna say, come on, after.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Twenty five years, the adults that are playing nine year
old kids can finally put it to rest. But no,
Stranger Things came out nine years ago when Obama was
President's Wow. Yeah, that again. This is the old show.
This is the episode that's going to make us all
feel old and gray.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But I don't like that schedule.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
This but incredible that we've seen the progression of these kids,
not only in the story but in real life as
they've grown as actors.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And parents themselves. Oh my gosh, it's insane. Well, they had,
of course, the final They broke their final in two
parts part one to part two of season. Whether it
was six or seven, I know it took nine years,
but they have like five or six seasons. They broke
it up, and then they ran the final series finale,
(02:13):
not only on Netflix. They'd released it I believe it
at midnight or something, but they also have midnight screenings
as well on New Year's right, New Year's Day? Yes,
so big theatrical turnout they raked in around twenty five
thirty million dollars for that. And so I'm not sure
if you've kept in touch with the internet buzz, yes,
(02:35):
buzz buzz, But people whether either loved the ending, they're
satisfied with the series finale and how it all wrapped up.
And then there are people like I spent nine years
of my life invested in.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This right right, Well, I don't know, I don't So
I was with a group of people New Year's Night.
Everyone saw it but me. Right, I picked up one
person from the movie theater who had seen it in
the movie theater, and then the other half of our
group like went to go watch it at someone's house
after midnight.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So I love that it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Was this communal experience for all of these people who
have been following this show for so long. I think
they did a really great job of milking that and
making it as big of an event as they possibly could.
And from what I heard, uh from from the people
I spoke to, they felt like it was It was sad,
(03:27):
it was emotional, they were tears, They felt like the
actors themselves. It felt realistic the tears that they were shedding,
uh in the finale, because everything was coming to an end.
It felt very real, it felt very personal and sad.
I haven't heard any negative reactions from at least the
(03:47):
folks that that I know who loved the show and
who have watched it were terribly behind.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, terribly You're only you're only behind if you want
to be in that, in that race, in that lady
want to Yeah, if you're you're not behind if you
don't want you But for me, and we mentioned this before,
but I probably watched maybe up till season three, and
then after that, they're like, yeah, it's kind of kind
of going all over the tracks, and you know, I'm
not sure they know where they're even going. And so
(04:13):
but for BZ Radio WBZ here in Boston listened to
us on iHeart Radio. I talked to folks because there
is that buzz online people. Some people loved it, some
people hated it. Some people were overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or just whelmed.
So I went out there and talked to folks like, hey,
what are did you want? Did you watch it? And
too what did you think? And those the few that
(04:33):
I did run into and they did watch it, Yeah,
that was that was it. One person said it was fine.
I was. I was expecting something more of like of
Game of Thrones where more people die, where they're more
like you feel the stakes and everything, and they have
another person yet no spoilers, but I guess. But yeah,
the thing it's all again. It is full now. But
you know, another person said that, yeah, they just felt whelmed.
(04:56):
It was it was okay, like it wasn't. It wasn't.
It didn't leave them ass satisfied as they're hoping for
after nine years. So I actually asked them, hey, so,
what are some other shows that you have watched that
with the series finale, you know, you were left satisfied
or or it did it also like just not stick
the landing. And one person said the Vampire Diaries. Have
(05:18):
you watched that show?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I've watched it, but not all the way through.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Somebody is not happy with the with the the series
finale of that. They said, you know, yeah, after devoting
so much time and effort, it's very disappointing when you
have an ending that's just kind of like, yeah, that's it,
that's all. It culminates too.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know what, There's a show that I actually was
not a fan of, but I thought the finale was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And that was Dawson's Creek. My husband made me watch.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yes, oh my god, he loves Dawson's Creek and forced
me to watch the whole show. But you know what,
the finale wrapped things up so well. It was self deprecating,
it was personal like it you know, it felt very natural,
and it was funny. It was really funny and heartwarming,
and like, I really really enjoyed the finale of Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Did they ever cross that creek? They're like, yes, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's like so and so ends up with so and
so and it's like, oh no, is it Dawson or
is it Pacy? Yeah, but I mean the way that
they handled it at the end, like, you know, it
was very nice.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It was very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, I was satisfied, say with like Breaking Bad. That
was a great series finale. Somebody mentioned that they watched
Star Trek Enterprise and then the final episode of Star
Trek Enterprise is the first episode of Star Trek like
the Next Generation or something or something like that, and
so it's kind of like a time loop of sorts,
and so they said that, and he has their friend
(06:43):
group divided, but that got me questioning. You know, hey,
those who are listening and watching to the podcast, what
show is your show that left you either utterly satisfied,
no notes, you know you could put that show to
rest happily or what show did you dirty? Did you wrong?
Maybe it straight common down below? Yeah, and let us know.
But speaking about Netflix, of course, they had a big
(07:06):
day on the streaming services, They had a big day
at the movie theater. And but they want to limit
your days. They want to limit the number of days
you can watch Warner Brothers movies if they do acquire
a deal with purchasing the studio. And that is if
these rumors, these are all rumors, all allegations, But there
are rumors that Netflix has settled to for a seventeen
(07:29):
day window of a theatrical release for any Warner Brothers movie.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Don't they have enough?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
That's wild? Seventeen days is wild. Yeah, And the thing is,
if this is true, the CEO of Netflix is kind
of is kind of a lying, appears to be lying
because a while ago, a couple of weeks ago, when
this rumor came out, he said, no, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do a two week technically he's not lying.
It's a little more than two weeks of a release
date in theaters, but man, a seventeen day run and
(07:59):
move theaters before he gets pulled onto streaming. That's wild.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Nobody will be able to see the movie.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, unless you sign up to the Netflix with their
new upgrade plan.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
But it's awful because you know we both have kids.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Take time.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You can argue this is easier for you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I don't want the crappier experience. I want the cinematic experience.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Wait for me, dude.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, got to give people that window. You got to
give them that time to actually get out there. People
have lives, they work, and it doesn't mean that just
because you have life and that you work and you
can't get out to the theater.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That you should miss out on that.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Experience on the movie going experience on seeing it on
the big screen.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Don't take that away.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Don't stop being stingy okay and greedy, and don't you
have enough?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Netflix, don't you have enough?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Allegedly, stop it, just stop. Yeah, So these rumors continue
to swirl, and until the ink is dried on the
contractor deal, then well we really know what they've decided,
but a seventeen day window seems bonkers, absolutely bonkers to me. Jamie,
you know what's not bonkers? Hmm? Guess you know, art museums.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
No, no, no, thank you for guessing. They put you
on the spot. But yeah, but the fact that Leonardo
DiCaprio's One Battle after Another is already out the gates
winning awards and according to the critics, to the National
Society of Film Critics, they gave One Battle after Another
(09:40):
the top prize of Movie of the Year.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
So so, Leo, you know, I feel like he doesn't
have enough awards for the work.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, poor Leo, Poor poor Leo. He needs more accolades.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But I, you know, injure agree, but he is under awarded.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, for his body of work.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean, from from the very beginning, from like What's
Eating Gilbert Grape.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Loved that movie.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, he deserved a lot for that performance being so
young to everything that he's doing now, So he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He's a good actor, he's great, he's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, ever, but he's also he's also a truth teller.
He tells the truth through his films, right, sure, now
this is a few more accolades are sprinkling, sprinkling on him.
But he is in the biz, of course, and so
he knows he can see where the wind is blowing,
and he is he himself is questioning whether people still
have the appetite to go to the movie theaters. He
(10:43):
actually says that, you know, cinemas may become just like
jazz bars, a very like niche thing where not everybody
goes there. And they said that, you know, people are
just maybe potentially tired. And there's some data that supports
that theory because according to Deadline, a movie going attendance
for twenty twenty five, so a five percent decrease from
(11:06):
the year before.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So think it could be a lot of reasons for that.
But yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I just think it's funny that he uses the word appetites.
Do we really want to trust Leonardo DiCaprio's opinion on appetites?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It depends who.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, and he's saying niche, like movie theaters are feeling niche.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I just I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I think he's a great actor on the screen. I
don't know how much I trust his opinion on life
and other things.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Outside of actings.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Stick to the script, Leo, stick to the script.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't think it'll be niche like jazz clubs. I
don't think it'll be for old people.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Especially if we work to preserve that.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And you know what, like we've been talking about, people
are rebelling against society right now, against streaming. It's the internet,
right and they're radically you know, and they're rebelling by
pushing away technology and going back to things that are physical,
going back to things that are communal, going back to
(12:18):
the theater, going back to having digital, physical media, things
like that. At least we at least we are right.
But I know that other people are as well. So
I think that there's a push and pull in all
of these things. And I think people are going back
to the theaters. So I you know, whatever the data,
maybe it was a.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Rough year in the theater. There weren't I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Do you feel like there were as many huge hits
or things that drew people into the theater?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Not necessarily. I think next year is going to be
a big, big, packed, stacked year because you're gonna have dune,
you can have a vendors doomsday. There is rumor or
were that Dune Part three and Avengers Doomsday will be
coming out the same weekend, so we're gonna have a Doonesday,
Avengers Doings Day. I would like weekend, so back to
(13:08):
back maybe viewing of that. So maybe maybe we'll have
a better year in twenty twenty six. We are in
twenty twenty six, so hopefully this will be a better year.
But I was gonna say something about what was the
last thing you said before this, before you ask me
a question? Oh, you know what, I guess going back
to you know, cutting off the cable, the internet cable,
(13:29):
going back to analog technology is the real punk, as
Superman would would believe. But you know who is really
punk and mister Conan O'Brien. That guy's punk as hell.
And we are so happy because I think it was
last week's episode we were actually saying we hope, at
least I was saying, we hope that Conan will come
back to another year of the Oscars. And he made
(13:52):
the official announcement and he's hosting this this March, the
next next Oscars, and he didn't, And of course the
best Conan kind of way, mm hmmm. He comes out
on like on on a stage all white, dressed in
his you know Oscars suit, and he says like, oh, like,
I wanted to do two things this year. You know,
I'll host the Oscars and learn how to churn butter.
(14:14):
And he starts churning butter and then the butter catches fire.
He's like butterfire, butterfire, and just the wacky and randomness
of Conan's humor. And so that was a great way
to announce it. So Conan O'Brien looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And what are the Oscars?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
March?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So and for anyone who is in SAG you and
I are both sag afterra You're wearing a lovely sag
After shirt right now for those who can't see it
right Oscar season voting season. The SAG Awards are March first,
before the Oscars, but.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Until the Oscars.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Anyone with a sagcard with a sag After you know
who's a member of the union and can show their
card at the Legacy Place, the Showcase Cinema. At Legacy
Place in Detum you can watch movies for free all right,
heads up to thanks to Tony Sue, who's who let
me know about that. But yes, actor Tony su who
(15:09):
our man on the ground letting us know things. Uh,
so you can watch movies for free all the way
through the oscars. You know, if you don't get your
screeners or whatever, you want to go see it in
the theater.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
All these screeners now are digital, so they send us. Yeah,
back in the day of when I yeah, we used
to get DVDs. I have like old DVDs of like
of screeners from shows and movies like in my in
my drawers and whatnot. And yeah, no longer they just
send you a link. How boring is that to put
something in to my DVD player? Which I bought my
wife a DVD player for Christmas. So yeah, so again
(15:45):
where we are the real punk over here? Going back
to CDs. That's right, that's how that's how we're supposed
to be. Oh, DVD is that's all supposed to be
with DVDs. But you know what else is supposed to be.
Massachusetts is supposed to be the home of filmmaking in
the future of so much so that you know, we're
getting productions left and right, right and left, up and down.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It was a really great year last year.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, and we're looking at another good year exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
So pre production is happening on a feature film that's
going to be getting underway on the Cape. This is
called Play the Edge in Chatham, right, They're going to
be filming for what twenty days in downtown Chatham.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's a crime thriller directed by award winning Boston director
writer Peter Horgan, who we should try to reach out
toutely get on the podcast. The film will shoot as
you mentioned, twenty days. They are actually currently in pre
production and seeking supporting and lead roles as well as
a few production roles. So if you are in the
New England filmmaking industry, you know, check out local listings,
(16:53):
local casting news and try to see if you can
get some work on Play the Edge. That is, right,
what's the what's that? That ice hockey? But also figure
skating romantic rom com movie that came out years ago,
The Cutting Edge, The Cutting Edge that was like Play
the Edge, The Cutting the Cutting Edge, Cutting Edge that once,
(17:15):
as a think we've talked about it before too. Yeah, yeah,
I think I saw once and you what do you from?
What do you remember? Would you recommend?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I don't know if it's the edge, but there is
a log line, there's a description of what this movie
is about. Uh, and it's about a down on his
luck pizza chef Cam Uh sets his boss up for
a robbery on Christmas Eve. Thirty minutes before the armed
robbers arrive, Cam hits the lottery and what happens when
(17:44):
you try to stop a crime that is.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Already in motion. So excellent, sounds fun sounds funny.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, And not only that, but we've also got our
first look at something that was produced here last year
and it's going to be coming out soon, Widows Bay,
and that is going to be coming out April twenty
sixth on Apple TV Plus.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Nice, very exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It is about a feeble mayor of a cursed island
town who doesn't listen to the superstitious residence of his
town about this curse.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We did, we did, We.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Brought you plenty of casting whenever. This was shot predominantly
on the North Shore Boston. So very exciting to see
this principal at a lot of local principles, a lot
of local talent in the background. Uh. So it'll be
exciting to see this one when it comes out April
twenty six I believe they're going to be doing another
(18:49):
season as well, so looking out.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
For for that to Bay.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Two Bay. Is it going to play on two B?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I pray I'll speak about Apple TV though. There's a
new show on Apple TV that people are raving about.
Do you know what it is? Let me look it
up real quick. Apple TV new show rave to do Pluribus.
Have you heard of Pluribus?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
No, pluribis is getting I don't have Apple TV, but
like it's one of those things where, like, you know what,
maybe this is worth subscribing for a month or so.
But Plurabis is an American post apocalyptic science fiction television
series created by Vince Gilligan. Another of Breaking Bad and
Better Call Saul. So uh yeah, A lot a lot
of is a black comedy drama. A lot of buzzes
(19:39):
around this, around this show. So one thing to look
out if you've seen Pluribus, let us know what you
think without spoilers, please, And what we will try to
do now also is tell you about the couple movies
without spoiling it for you, because I don't know about you, Jamie,
but I actually enjoyed Anna Conda, Anna Conda, don't none.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it too. We both actually saw
this for once.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't know how your feed, whether it's Instagram or
TikTok or YouTube, has been over the past like two weeks,
but I've been inundated with like Jack Black and Paul
Rudd just clips interviews, you know, you know them doing
challenges for like nah ones, but you know shows like
that on the Internet. And I love this pairing. I
love Jack Black and Paul Rudd working like side by side. Yeah,
(20:27):
like they're a perfect match together.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I don't think that Paul Rudd gets enough credit for
his comedic chops and having him next to Jack Black
is just it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's so good, so good that they themselves the personality wise,
like off screen, off camera, just like you know, being
interviewed or whatnot. They're hilarious, and so when they were
able to work on a film together, it's just magic.
It's just magic in a bottle. And I wish that
they do some other teama maybe Anaconda two and a
Conto to do two. But I need more of this,
(21:05):
this pairing because I love it. They were both in
the Dewey Cox story walk Hard, but they played the Beatles,
like John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and they said they
that was like the only real time they've worked together.
They've obviously been around in the sphere and worked on
little little stuff, but this is their first time working
on such a long length on a film, and you
(21:26):
can tell the fun they're having on this film. So basically, Anaconda.
This is not a sequel to the nineteen ninety seven
film starring Jennifer Lopez An ice Cube, but it's kind
of like a meta and it's not a reboot, but
it's like a meta film on that subject. So basically,
it's about a group of friends who are going through
a midlife crisis and decide to remake their favorite movie
(21:49):
from their youth and a Conda, but encounter unexpected events
when they enter the jungle. Directing and co written by
Tom Gormican, who also wrote The Unbearable Way of Matt.
Of Talents, as we mentioned, starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd,
Steve zan is On, I always mispronounced her name than
Dewi Newton, Selton Mellow, and Daniella melchor Melichora Melchior.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We don't know, We're sorry, but yes, I really.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And you mentioned it that the meta part of this
very self deprecating, very I love It's a Sony movie. Yes,
they have the rights to Anaconda to remake it, so
it's a it's a remake about a remake in which
another remake gets made, and then the actual actors from
the original come back, but not in the way that
(22:42):
you're expecting, because they're playing themselves as their actors, but
not as their characters. And they end up in the
remake that right, but not actually in the remake of
the remake because they were making the other remake.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's amazing, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right now, I'm kidding, no, no, but this is actually
so this reminds me of very much, of course, Tropic Thunder,
which Jack Blackhall start in. And Jack black in all
his countless interviews I've seen recently of him, he said that,
you know, when when he was presented this script, he
absolutely loved it, and he loved working on Tropic Thunder
so much that this kind of meta another film, looking
(23:17):
at the meta making of a film, being in the
film get caught up in an actual real life story
of it was very enticing. And so he heard that
Paul Ruad was also getting tied to it, and so
they made a quick phone call like, hey, are you
part of this? Really it's like yeah, I am like
okay man. So they talked for like ten minutes on
the phone. Then they're both on board immediately. But yeah,
(23:37):
basically this isn't a spoiler. But Paul Rudd's character, he's
like a D list actor. He's appeared in some like
you know, some shows. Yeah, nothing too big. He was
on SWAT. That's like the joke, like he's on SWAT
for like a season or two, but then he got
killed off. Anyway, he's not his his acting career is
not doing so great. And so and he finds out,
you know, he remembers his buddy Jack Black's having a birthday.
(23:59):
He goes back to town, you know, along with his
other childhood friends to throw him a party and whatnot.
And you know, he says, you know, he just wants
to he wants to do more acting. He wants to
you know, relive the glory days of when he and
his friends were kids making films like B movie films.
And so he says, you know what, I somehow got
the rights for Anaconda and if we just you know,
(24:20):
devote our money and resources into this. We can do it.
Let's let's do this. So yeah, after a little bit convincing,
they're all on board, and then they're literally on boarder
ship like in the in the Amazon Rainforest, Amazon River,
and then the high jinks ensue, right, And this is
one of those movies. The funny thing is last week
I said, you know, I'm gonna go see Marty Supreme.
It's being considered like one of the best movies of
(24:42):
the year, all all the praise and when not, Timothy
shallow May is amazing. And so I'm looking at movie
show times and I see, okay, Marty Supreme eleven fifteen,
and then i see Anaconda eleven forty five. I'm like,
you know what, like sometimes, you know, I like great movies,
and you know, when things are getting good buzz, I'm
down for it. But also I'm also down for fun
movies and the movies that are kind of silly. And
(25:04):
I was feeling in a sillier mood. So I went
with Anaconda and I was not disappointed. Yeah, I was.
There were several moments where I'm gut busting and laughing
with how ridiculous things are happening or setups are being
are being done. Yeah, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
It was dumb, it was fun, Yeah, but it was
also good. Yeah, but it was also good. And if
you're in acting whatsoever, like this was a great movie
because it has all of the characters. It's you know,
the writer, the washed up actor, you know, all of
the jokes about getting things made and how difficult it
is in the industry and all of that. So it
(25:39):
was just it was really really I felt like extra
fun for me being in that industry. So, but I
think anyone in the general audience could enjoy it as well.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, I think you can tell how much fun the
cast were actually in the real cast of Yeah, Ana Conda,
we're enjoying making this film. And it's one of those
movies where like in knows what it is. It's like,
it's not going to be like the best movie of
the year. They're not trying to be the best movie
of the year. They're just trying to make a funny,
silly movie, but which actually does have some good little
like jump scares. There are roments where you're like, oh crap,
(26:13):
the snake is there, or it's coming or where is it?
And so there are actual moments where you're like, oh,
there it is.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And I like the cameos too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Cameos are great. We'll keep that under wraps. Yeah, but
but yeah, Cameo is a great, a solid, solid, fun movie. Overall.
I think it was like an hour thirty, you know average.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
We'll see it again.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I would see it again too. This was This was
a fun movie. The chase scene where Jack Black has
something on his back, that whole sequence was I was rolling.
It was, it was. It was fantastic. So I don't
know if you're looking for something that's not so like,
you know, you know, like the best movie of the year,
or critics are praising no whatever, like you're you're looking
for something fun, Yeah, go check out on Anaconda. I
(26:55):
really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I really enjoyed it too. Yeah, I second that emotion.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Well, there was a movie that came out earlier this month, sorry,
this year, maybe about five or six months ago, and
was getting really good praise and I was curious to
see it but never got around to watching it in
the movie theater. But Sorry Baby came out on HBO Max,
and you know, again, I knew very little to anything
about this film, which I like to go into movies
(27:21):
like that, going in not knowing what to expect and
just going for the ride, and so filmed in New England.
Film in New England. Yeah sorry baby. Basically, it stars
I'm right here Eva Victor, who wrote and directed this film.
She also stars in this film as well as the
main protagonist. Basically, the story is after a tragic incident,
(27:42):
a woman played by Eva finds herself alone while everyone
else continues with their lives as if nothing had happened.
Also starring Naomi Aki, Lewis can Sell Me, Kelly McCormick,
Lucas Hedges who's really good in this film, and John
Carol Lynch who's also really good in this film. Again,
I'm gonna go deep into this, but this is a
(28:03):
movie that that kind of caught me by surprise. It
is a definitely a heavier, slower pace film that definitely
doesn't shy away from drama. Has funny moments for sure,
but it's more of a you know, this person went
through a tragic experience and it's them trying to overcome it,
or at least live through it and get through the
(28:24):
very end of it, and at the very end, it
kind of ends in an abrupt way, which I wasn't expecting.
I had to check the run time. I was like, oh,
it's actually over, but the way it ended, I was
actually tearing up because it's a very emotional scene. I
told my wife about it as well. But it's a
surprise hit for me for sure. So if you're not
(28:45):
in the move for Anaconda, if you want something with
a heavier topic but excellent acting, excellent writing, like you
feel like these characters are talking to each other as
anybody in the real world would or react to a
certain scenario, I would recommend sorry, baby, trigger warning, So
just throw that out there so be aware maybe of
something that may be triggering of sorts. But I recommend it.
(29:08):
It was a good film, awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And receiving critical acclaim. Yeah on the New York Times
list of wasn't it on the top ten?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Let me check it because I think because we did.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Talk about that last week, solid, solid film all around.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Anything else that you're.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Watching, what am I watching? I'm gonna start continuing to
watch The Chair Company on HBO Max starring Tim Robinson.
I kind of fell off, but just because of you know,
no time, but I'm trying to get back on there
because I interviewed somebody who said they love that show
and it was a great ending, so I need to
get back to that. The pit starts starts back up
(29:47):
this month, which this is how you do it stranger things.
The pick came out like last year or so, and
they're back the next year with a new season, Like
you don't need nine years to put together five seasons. No,
but that's basically what I'm kind of watching right now,
about you.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Okay, I kind of got forced to watch something. So
I was watching Entourage, which is not something that I've
ever actually watched.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But yes, produced by Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Uh huh, yes, and I never I had never seen
it before. I've never seen it before. I kind of
got dropped in the middle of it, and I guess
the best way that I could describe it is like
Sex in the City but for men.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah. I used to watch it.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I didn't watch it like religiously or like every season,
but I watched a good majority of it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So a shout out to actors, uh Dennis Grahetta, Tony
Jamie Babino for forcing me to watch Entourage.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I mean I liked it.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
There was an episode with like eminem.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
The part cameos.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I was kind of surprised by the number quality of
the cameos, Like.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Really, the talent agent Ari, I'm forgetting his last name,
but he's hilarious, Like he's a crazy, crazy character, but
like a badass hilarious character.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And the funny thing is rewatching that show or clips
of that show, like that's old, you know, kind of
like old Hollywood where you can't do that kind of
stuff anymore, or else you'd get me too. There's a
lot of like me two scenarios that you can't do anything,
you can't do anymore that were like oh, that's part
of Hollywood culture, or doing this or that, not like
the extreme stream stuff, but there are things that ride
(31:31):
that line, like Okay, nowadays you'd be you'd be canceled
so quickly for acting this certain way or calling somebody
this or that, or treating coworkers like again, for example, Ari,
the agent of the main character, like how he treats
like his staff and everything, Like, yeah, you can't do
a lot of that, And so this is interesting at
(31:52):
the time. Capsule of what that period of Hollywood was.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Like.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I was just a little confused at first because, like
I said, I've never seen it before. I'm like, is
this supposed to be like more comedic meta or is
this is just like legit Like they're like, it's more
of a drama, and it is. It's like more of
a drama, but it's comedic too, and so you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The comedic I caught on. Yeah, the comedic stuff really
pops from like the Hollywood culture like that. It's like, oh,
they they're making fun of or highlighting the ridiculousness of
what Hollywood of the industry is, or how how it
unfolds or how people act in it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
There was another scene where they like got Christine Aguilera
in there, like they're paying her to sing at a
birthday party and she's.
Speaker 2 (32:33):

a little sine quote I think so excellent. Okay, so
cin a quote. Basically again, it's like a wordle but
with a movie of the day, and you have up
to five guesses per quote to guess what it is.
And we've been pretty good. I think we got it
last week. Yeah it was The Holdover.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, excellent, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Very exciting. So this is gonna be game number Oh

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh, it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Game one one six so one hundred and sixteen, all right,
I want to play with us. We're gonna go with
quote number one in three two one wind at.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I haven't got to do anything out on his restaurant.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The swasher has done show up.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
I told him that you did.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
So this sounds very old timey.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
No, I'm have a feeling we're gonna get stumped on
this side.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I think we should just go to the next quote.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay, next quote, your next quote, I have no idea
three two.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
I MISSI.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That sounds a little more familiar.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah. I think maybe that was like an old timey
clip in a movie. That's a period piece. Okay, Oh,
but not sure. All right, next quote, keep going maybe
number three.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
So I go rock band coming up of an album,
you gotta promote the record, going onto it. And I
realized this after a month it was dead and I
did too little, too late.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
That sounds very familiar, and the voice is so familiar.
Hold on, it's like a rock band coming up of
an album. You gotta promote the record, going onto it.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
And I realized this after a month. It was dead
and I did too little, too late.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That sounds so familiar. I know. Oh, I don't know.
This is a stumpa.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh geez, all right, let's go to the next.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Oh my goodness, okay, next one.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We can do this. We'll see.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
I had a very famous agent and he said to me,
I don't know why you always take the hard road.
And my answer was, you think I see two.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Roads and I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
If there was an easy road, i'd have a house
thing I should. What do you think I get up?
I can't wait for the goddamn trouble I'm gonna get into.
I said, I don't see I see one road.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
James man, oh man, I have nothing.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
How about you guys listening slash watching? Any ideas?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
The ideas? Let us know, because a record a record? Goodness? Okay,
last the final quote. Let's see this is it? He suggested, Well,
we could get together a documentary. You know, if that's
not good, you can say, you can say no.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
He said, you.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Won't be hurting my feet. That's conan. He said, I
left my feelings on the Warner Brothers lot in nineteen
seventy eight. That's conan, I think.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
He unapologetically played to the band, you know, which was cool.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
If you're watching it, you enjoyed it because if you
got it, you really felt.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Special, just fearless, funny.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
He's so he got a wife, yes, yeah, okay, you
know I was.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
I was not offer if I could get one tattoo,
maybe I get the nest egg tattooed somewhere on my body.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
He will always be a filmmaker's filmmaker.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
You have to put him with Woody and Chaplain and
those people who controlled all parts of their film, who
made it an extension of themselves.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And so it's like it's a documentary of course that
that's first voice was coming to O'Brien. So these are
all comedians or filmmakers talking about somebody. It sounds like
a movie probably talking about and I'm blanking on his name,
the director of Blazing Saddle's Spaceballs, mel Brooks. So it
sounds like a mel Brooks like documentary. That's what I'm
(37:43):
going to guess, like something about mel Brooks. But the
documentary wouldn't maybe be called mel Brooks.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
No, would it be called.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Blazing I don't know, all right, it's a documentary about
mel Brooks.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe maybe mel Brooks. Maybe yeah, but are we.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Supposed to know the title?
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I mean, I think we just got to throw in
the towel, the towel to put blazing saddles or something.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Give up, I think just give up? Yeah, okay, okay,
let's see. Oh Albert Brooks defending my life? Okay, we
got Brooks right, Yeah, we got all right? Man? Yeah no, no,
so many people lost, so many people have lost this one.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Well, let's not feel bad about that.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
That was a hard one.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
We gotta stop recording on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
You know what's funny. I was the first two quotes.
I was actually thinking spinal tap. But then you know,
you heard it like, that doesn't sound like like Rob Reiner.
It doesn't sound like the actors playing the band. So man,
that was a toughie. Quite the STUMPA. That's okay, all right,
Well let us know. Did you know it was that that?
(38:56):
That documentary? Common down below, but also please comment down
below if you are interested in any of the topics
that we shared. If you watched Anaconda or Sorry Baby,
leave your review, maybe you know, go go crazy with
the spoilers. So here's your spoiler warning. If you're reading
the comments for anaconda or sorry baby? Also, what do
you think about a seventeen day window for theatrical releases
(39:17):
specifically by Netflix for Warner Brothers films?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And why is it terrible?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You know, why is it terrible? Who do you think
will win big at the Oscars this year? I know
Conan O'Brien has already won. He's already won. It's just wild,
wild year for Conan O'Brien. We'll leave it at that. Yeah,
Regarding some some sad news friends lost Rob Briner, I mean, okay,
what a crazy year last year was and and all
(39:44):
that jazz. So hopefully a brighter, happier year. It's off
to a great.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Star vision and for things films television made here in
New England about with hub On Hollywood, we will continue
to bring a casting calls well you know, when things
are going on down. But until then, until next time, James,
