Speaker 1 (00:05):
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, we are Back in the Pit Baby.
Season two is now streaming on HBO Max. This is
the first thing I'm gonna be doing after this podcast.
In the first episode, Okay, so much more greater news
related to that. I'm jazzed about this show, ye in
case you couldn't tell, but I'm looking forward to that.
We're also looking to our past childhood movie crushes. We've
(00:35):
all had them. And a recent Big A List star
who's rising in the ranks. He's talked about his movie
crushes growing up as well, so why not talk about
our own. A new year means a new live action
adaptation of a beloved and already perfect film that needs
no adaptation. Yeah, absolutely not. The Screen Actors Guild naming
(00:55):
their picks for best Film and Television Cast, and a
wicked scary movie trailer and more, and it is not
a Wicked Part three starring Ariana Grunde and reviw Cynthia Arrivo. Correct,
correct now, But first, Jamie uh Cees is going on
right now underway in Las Vegas. You are aware of cees.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I have been made aware the Consumer Electronics Show.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's amazing thing that my son is also very interested
in robots and AI.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Kids are you know, they're getting younger and younger, like
the more interesting in the younger younger, and we can't
stop them. It's a real it's a real disease. It's
the Benjamin Button effect. No, but but the younger kids seemingly,
the younger and younger they are are getting into technology,
and technology is getting more involved into our own lives.
(01:50):
That is because at the world's largest and most influential
tech trade show, showcasing groundbreaking and innovations, products, and future
trends in the electronics industry, Artificial intelligence is front and
center at this year's events, with all the households being
turned into AI, walking, talking, feeding machines, you name it,
(02:15):
it's AI power now, toasters, ovens.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I watched, I watched a movie about this. You ever
watched Mitchell's Versus the Machines? I have, Yeah, and what
happens robot uprising? There's chips and literally everything down to
your toaster.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Good question may come after.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You at the end. So I don't know how to
feel about this, but okay.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So basically they're unveiling all their new goods and products
that they're trying to sell you. The thing is, you know,
none of it works or it's very useless at this point.
For example, they have a lot of things like revolving
around smart laundry, smart vacuum cleaners, like a very smart
roomba that can like climb up stairs and whatnot, smart glasses,
(02:57):
which may be the most viable tech right now. But
they also have smart robots that fold laundry. Did you
see the video I sent you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh yeah, don't lie.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You don't have to lie.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I was a little busy, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Okay, video, No worry. So basically, imagine Rosy, the robot
from the Jetsums. Yeah, but a lot slower on wheels
and it's trying to fold a towel but it takes
fifteen minutes. But it's the future and you can buy
it now for twenty five thousand dollars or whatever. But
it's also operated by AI. So so you're paying for
(03:34):
this big robot, clunky robot that you have nowhere to
store it. No, we're you gonna put it we're gonna
charge it, but they're they're showing up all this technology
and things that will solve your life or make your
life easier. When I could put a towel away in
like two seconds, as opposed to charging subscribing to a subscription,
paying for that monthly service and watching a robot bomb
(03:57):
like you know, bungle it and take fifteen minutes to
fall one tell I don't know. It's making me upset.
There's also walking side table. So imagine that this table
right here was able to walk up and walk around us.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It maybe nice if it put itself away that you know.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I suppose, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But why does your table need to move? Why does
your table need to.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Why does your coffee table?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You can't just go sure, you just can't push it
like two seconds with your finger, Like why do I
have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to have
it like move a few inches by itself?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Right? So it makes no sense, and so it makes
things more complicated, more expensive, and again everything is going
to be like a subscription service. But that has us
looking back to our old friends cinema movies, and they
have they've produced countless tales as old as time of
the horrors of what AI can do, especially in the household.
(04:46):
Before we get to this list, I just remembered one.
Do you remember the Disney Channel movie Smart House.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I did not see that one.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It starred Oh my goodness, I'm blanking on her name.
She was the voice of Lela on Futurama. She was
also Pam. She was on Married with Children, she was
the mom.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
She was on like how to Date My rules for
dating my daughter anyway, great actress, great voice actor. Anyway,
she was in that movie too. Basically, the house was
everything was smart and operated by one single AI engine,
and eventually it became like a real life mother, like
a virtual one, but tormented the family and make control them,
and it was it was a terrible, terrible situation.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, here's here's the other thing before we move on
real quick. Just these smart devices that they've got going
on in this Like you watch them, not only the
folding one, but there's ones that cook and then they're like,
you know, they throw your eggs everywhere and then they
fall over. It's like, we've got such a long way
to go before these things are at all viable. No,
but have you ever watched Barbie Dreamhouse. There's a cartoon
(05:48):
that my my daughter watches Barbie dream House. Same thing.
They've got the Barbie dream House and everything is AI
and computer and controlled and.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Robots.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Somebody hacks into the house and it's way crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
They always do. So anyways, one last thing before we
get to the movie is I did mention did you
see they have smart companions also, so pet lap dogs
that will like sit on your lap and it'll like
it'll use AI to pretend to be a dog and
react to you. And eventually the goal is to have
them actually walking around, So have walking, sitting, jumping, you know,
(06:22):
lap dogs.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I feel like maybe that could provide the most positive
thing for.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
People, especially for maybe senior citizens. You know, they already
do that with like stuffed animals like legit, like just
stuffed animals that may vibrate because it does bring some comfort,
and so bring make robots and sure put AI in it.
But you know, to solve a current problem. There are
many things that I don't have a problem folding my towel.
Many people don't, and so don't work on that tech.
(06:49):
Work on tech, like maybe a bionic arm for somebody
without an arm like use AI to like make somebody
walk again. That medicine, medicine.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Search yea, and things like that. That is I think
where AI belongs the most and can do the most good.
But we don't. We don't need AI making movies. We
don't need AI making music or art in any way.
And really, how are we this far behind in twenty
twenty six? Twenty twenty six? Yeah, that the cooking robot
(07:18):
is just like you know, have spazzing out and like
you know, in the folding robot it takes fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Give me cooking robots at Chipotle they've been testing that out.
So they have like a conveyor belt kind of a thing. Yeah,
it's a conveyor a beout no AI, As far as
I know, I could be.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Wrong, Yeah, but just like robots.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, you know what we are not wrong about is.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Hey, people come on, hey, human beings.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No anyway, Jamie, you're so that's so dumb paying people
a livapol wage. Get out here, lame my AI. Super
lords overlords pay no attention to her. She know not
what she's say. But what we do say is that
you should watch these other great movies where AI goes
wrong oks, beginning with Terminator one, Terminator two, the original.
There are no more terminators after that, trust me. It's
(07:59):
just stops that too. Did you see I Robot with
Robot That robot was framed for murder and then other
actual robots did commit murder. Yeah, he can draw.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It was actually a very good movie.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yes, x Mahina ex Machina. Actually I love that one
with with our boy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Our boy Uh we know him, yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We know him, you know, he's best friend Oscar Isaac. Yeah.
So in that world, it shows the dangers of the Creator,
who is the main evil and main antagonist, the.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Beautiful woman robot. Yeah, and everything that she does to escape.
And it's such a great psychlo it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
A great movie. It's beautiful, great visual effects The Matrix.
Speaking about visual effects, The Rise of the Machines Artificial
Intelligence starring Jude Law and Haley Joel Osmon. Great movie.
Blade Runner, Blade Runner twenty forty nine. Chappy, Chappy, that's
that's a trippy chappy. Did you see Meghan or some
(09:00):
people say.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But I've heard a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah. Yeah. So basically it's like it's kind of like
you you are instead of buying your child, your child, Like,
what's that bear? The Roxbury bear that can talk to you?
You're buying them you're a child? No, we're not old
at all. A child robot that is sentience seemingly and
can just apparently murder people and go on a rampage
(09:24):
and do a little c Do you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Notice a que dance?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Do you notice a common denominator here? A common theme
between these movies? Maybe perhaps a bit is ai No,
well yes, okay, yeah, but are these happy ending movies?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I can't think of a Oh there is one good one,
I guess technically that's the one with Robin Williams where
he plays a robot and then he becomes I mean,
he is a robot with artificial intelligence, and even he
wants to become a human. He wants to be a
real boy. Yeah, and they put like, you know, they
make him to like a man with like like right,
bionic Man. I think so, yeah, Monicle Man's Centennial Man
(10:06):
something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, but there's another movie too, is it's short Circuit?
The short circuit movies where it's the robot who's like
a cop or he's the friend of the kids.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You mean robo cop.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
No no, no, I mean short circuit back from the
depths of my memory, my childhood movie memories.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was so good though. It was like the sentient
robot and then he makes friends with the kid and
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's one of the think a terminator terminator too.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Anyways, they are nice to kids though, that's like a theme.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, I suppose. I'm sure some children have been, you know,
maimed in the making of of AI intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But basically I think there's a warning here. Do you
not think so? I mean all of these movies have
a common like theme ending.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Warning, warning, warning, danger. Yeah, out for the AI again,
go look out. Look at cees reviews and clips that
are on right now going on in Las Vegas, because
some of these things that they're trying to sell to
the people, it's it's bonkers. I don't like it. But
speaking of smart devices, this is basically the main plotline,
(11:18):
seemingly of the new toy story five that's coming out.
The latest image has been released and if you can
pull it up, I actually have it right here too.
But basically we have a picture, a screenshot of Buzz
and Woody inside of closet, but they're peaking through the
little like slats slats of the of the closet door,
(11:40):
and they see Bonnie face glowing with the with the
shining of an iPad of whatever that you know, lily
pad toad thingy pad is, and then her mom looking
down at her as well. I guess they're trying to
solve a problem. She was very concerned. Right now, Bonnie
has a very concerned look on her face. But yeah,
this is the Do you think they'll stick the landing
(12:00):
on this one? What do you think the message will be?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think that probably the message ultimately is going to
be that human connection and connection with toy is more
valuable than connection with AI, with with computer. Right then
the screen then that glow and that you know, maybe
(12:26):
the little girl is you know, gets super attached to
it and she doesn't play with her toys anymore. But
then they take her on an adventure to rediscover.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The finest way home, just like, what do you think do.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You think the iPad is going to be sentient?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I think it will be okay. I think I think
Buzz and Woody and the rest of the toys are
going to have like a face off with the iPad.
The iPad's going to be like the villain, Yo, get
at your your extincts. This is an extinction for you guys.
And then I don't know, you can't really defend itself, right,
I mean, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Got sure it could spin, it can hop I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, man, Well, with these companies nowadays, I would not
be surprised that they built in a hopping feature for
the iPad in case you left it in the opposite room.
It just finds you wherever you are. It's like, hey,
turn me on, play with me. No no, no, no,
no no no. But what we are saying, yes, yes, yes,
Jamie two is local filming, local work, local productions and events.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So right now, not a ton of work going on.
Dead of winter. It's a little cold outside. Cool, a
little bit of ice, yeah, a little bit of snow
every day. But there are some events that people should
know about, especially if you are an indie filmmaker, if
you are up and coming. The SAG Indie Organization is
(13:44):
having a low budget Film Contract Workshop if they're going
to talk about the entire process of how to get
your film funded and made. That is going to be
Friday January sixteenth, from one to two. You can yep
on their on their website Sagindie dot org. Another great
(14:07):
organization that local indie filmmakers should know about Stowe's Story Labs.
They've got a few things coming up. They're calling for
submissions for their twenty twenty six writers Retreats, which the
early bird deadline is January thirty first. They also have
a Producer's Lab workshop coming up, so that is Stow
(14:29):
stow E Story Labs. You can check them out. And
another great organization I really want to get them on
for an interview, the Shawna Foundation. They are opening submissions
for their Women in Film Fellowship and this is a
this is a big deal. This is a lot of money. Yeah,
(14:51):
so submit your story ideas to the Shawna s h
a w NA Foundation dot org. Big cash pay out
for this and you get a mentorship to help you
through every step of the process of making your film.
That's a film Women in Film.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Fellowship with that, So sleep on this.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah. Yeah, We've got a number of things that may
be coming soon down the pipe, but more towards the spring,
So stay with the hub on Hollywood will continue to
let you know casting calls, movies, et cetera, et cetera.
We want to get you in the films, not just
talk about them, We want to get you in them.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I have a quick question for you, James, that's just random.
I will give you so much money, Okay, bonus points
if you can identify what this picture is referencing. My
husband just sent this to me. Okay, it's my son
wearing a T shirt. Oh yeah, this is Scott's tots.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah. The Office?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Did you not know her?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No? I I know, I'm forced to know. It was
like the worst, most uncomfortable episode of the Office ever.
TV and my my husband loved who loves the Office,
got my son Scott's shirt that says Scott's tots.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So he is waiting for his promised free college tuition.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, that's a that's a good photo. I love that.
My wife and I we just gave each other and
she gave her brother like Simson's themed shirts. Some of
them was like very obscure Simpson's references. And my wife
like a pin peals the bowling shirt that Homer and
his friends have as also the Isotopes like baseball team.
It's like, I don't know, we like that. Shirts are fun.
(17:09):
I like that exactly. This justin shirts are fun. Yeah,
but you know what else is justin the news of
not only Yeah, not only how that Tangled is gonna
be made into a live action adapted film, But they've
also announced the cast who will be filling the roles.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Of They do look great to be fair.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah yeah, they don't look bad. Yeah. So we have
Australian actress Tagan Kraft who will be playing Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your Hair, And then we're gonna have from Zombies.
The Disney Channels musical zombies, Milo Mannheim Manheim, I think so, Melo,
(17:52):
come on the podcast and let us know how you
pronounce your name. But he's gonna be playing Flynn Ryder.
And just by this photo right here, Jamie, yeah, that
looks like a smolder. That looks smoldery.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know, I was maybe, you know, I think it
could work. I think it could work. I think it
looks a little different from maybe what I would be expecting.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
For a slint Rider. Yeah, but they don't look you know,
they are very attractive people, so yeah, you put them
in a movie, which should be fine. The thing is,
as you know, Jamie, as you know, is Tangled. You
heav you watched Tangle. I love Tangle. It's a great movie.
She's so she loves so much, just throws her phone down,
(18:34):
But yeah, I love Tangle. It's a very fun movie.
My daughter actually watched it as well, and she enjoys
it very much. And it's a fun movie. Great animation,
nice fun story, moves at a quick pace. The villain's
a very good villain. The momb I call her mother dearest.
But yeah, so of course Disney is going back to
the Disney. Well, forget the Disney vaults, go back to
(18:56):
the well and bringing up a new movie that no one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Nobody is asking for it, nobody's asking. But guess what,
Jamie wait, I've got something for you too. But yeah,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's gonna make a billion dollars. It's not gonna be
a good billion it's not gonna be either a good
movie or it's going to be a shot for shot
and remake of the original. It's gonna make a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yes, yes, so maybe we're wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yes, maybe maybe we're wrong?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Are we though in our hearts? Maybe listen, James, But
I texted you this the other day, and I just like,
would like your live reaction to my five now six
year old daughter, yes, saying that she likes the Leelo
and Stitch live action more than the original cartoon.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Your daughter's wrong, Your daughter's wrong. I hardly ever say
that six year olds are wrong. Wrong, But but your
daughter is now. Hear me out.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You needs to go recondition here.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, we have a camp for her. No, but hear
me out. Do you think if it was reversed because
you do the you did the old Jamie Trikaroo switcheroo
where you played you show them the live action first,
and then you show them the classic perfect one. Do
you think if you showed the vice versa one, do
you think you will like the animated version over the
live action.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't know, because you know, when I showed her
the cartoon, she's like, I feel like she identified with
the little girl who played a little more than the cartoon.
She thought that she was so cute. And so I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
My daughter's watched Leelo and Stitch, the animated version. She's
going to be banned from watching the live action one.
But even when she does, I'll let you know how
she feels about it. But lastly, to wrap up the
tangled tangle up here, there's a rumor out there. This
is probably not true, but there's a rumor that Sabrina
(20:49):
Carpenter proliferated. And we're going to keep spreading this because
that's what we do on the helb on Hollywood. But
this is I think it's a harmless rumor. But the
rumor is Sabrina Carpenter was in the running to play
Rapunzel Entangled, but sources say those who are making the
movie think that she's just too beautiful.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
She's a little too.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know what I'm saying here.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I'm just gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
How can you be too beautiful? But she doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean, a few of us know what it's like
to be too beautiful, so we understand.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But listen, listen. I don't know, I don't I think
she just doesn't have that look for this character, that's all.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I think she has the charm and the personality because
Rapunzel is very quirky, quirky, quark, quirky, quirky, quirky, and
Subprina Carpenter can also dial that up and down. So
I think, I mean, does she need to be in everything?
At the end of the day, who cares?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
She could do this soundtrack?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There you go. There, I guess you'd be the soundtrack.
Speaking about sounds, there's a new movie coming out in March,
a twenty four film called Undertone. And I saw this.
I first saw, like, you know, people kind of rumbling like, oh,
this is a scary ass movie. I guess it showed
at some festivals earlier last year or late last year,
(22:23):
and so I was like, okay, let me and the
trailer had just dropped, and so this was like two
days ago and I watched it maybe two hours after
it got uploaded to YouTube. And the audio the video
for this teaser is only audio. It has a wavelength
and right here. And as I was watching this, I
got home from work. You know, I went in my
room late on the bed after. You know, I'm tired,
but I want to watch my stuff. So I'm watching
(22:45):
this and I see, oh, there's a trailer. Let me
put it on. The only person at home is me
and my cat. Right. I started playing this and I
don't get really spooked at all, but like it starts
playing and I'm like like, okay, this is kind of creepy.
This is weird. And then I started hearing noises in
the house, so like it's like is that the video
or is it was like the hair creaking around and
(23:05):
so no joke. Halfway through this, I got up, looked around.
It's like the cat sleeping. Like, okay, the cat would
be like you know, under a couch.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Started playing your head.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, And so it started it started playing with my head.
And so I'm gonna play a little bit. It's like
two thirty two minutes thirty seconds long. I'll play a
little bit but it is kind of trippy. So here
is undertone teaser trailer. The official trailer also dropped a
recommend watching both. But here is a little bit of
the teaser. Just listen, just listen, like.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The I don't trust this.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Like the hair is on the back of your neck, Like.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't trust this, Jim.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So we'll just stop that right there on that image
of this freaky kind of person right now. But yeah,
so everyone listening on the podcast, you're welcome. Like, yeah,
I'm watching this on my bed and listening to this.
I'm like, I'm watching these images of like this painting,
you know, flash back and forth and whatnot. And I'm like,
I think something's in this house right now, and so
well then yeah, the frequencies of sound it's all played
(24:42):
backwards too. So this is how crazy I am. So
I downloaded the video, download the audio, and I went
into my editing software and I flipped and reversed it,
flipped and reversed it just like and yeah, it's like
Bob Bob Black Sheep, but in interspliced throughout it is
like some and we're like or it's like, yeah, where's
(25:03):
she go? Kind of like with those kind of things
a lot more creepy than I just did. But it's
like it's very creepy that come back no but and
so like that move. This has peaked my interest, and
I watched the trailer and I recommend that you watch
the trailer as well because it actually like goes over
(25:23):
the plot line. But basically what the plot is about,
it's about.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
A This is a continuation of the tone of the tone.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So a podcast host covering spooky content moves into the
care center for her dying mother. When sent recordings of
a pregnant couple's paranormal encounters, she discovers their story parallels hers,
each tape, pushing her toward madness. Madness and so this
is really good marketing. I love that because it creeped
(25:59):
the heck out of me and I hardly get spooked
by like anything. Yeah, so this this you guys over
at Undertone A twenty four good job.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I feel like I have a headache now after listening trippy.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I know, I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
There's something like legit in there, you know what I
mean that because there are different frequencies, they can do
things to your body, Like what if they're like slipping
something in there to like legit make you like stressed
out dress.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Your body or ray go up hairs at the back
of your neck stand up. There's definite some psychological warfare
going on this one, oh man. But you know what
we won't be skipping, especially me, is The Pit. Season
two is back, baby, and it's on HBO Max. I
can't wait to watch it. Season three has already been confirmed.
(26:49):
They're gonna start filming this summer so they can have
another January release premiere. This is how you make shows,
you don't it, dude? Yeah, don't wait two three years
in between seasons Stranger Things over there.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
This has a lot less like special effects.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, CGIs also better, like yeah, this story is also better.
S it is even with all the years of time
to planning, Stranger Things should have a better script from
what I've heard people say. So this is just me,
you know, Monday Morning Corter backing it. But I can't
wait for The Pit. Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And I've been watching something really fantastic recommended to us
by a friend of the show, mister Dennis Gurhita. Boots
just came out on Netflix well in twenty twenty five
on Rotten Tomatoes and It is about a gay man
(27:49):
who joins the Marines in nineteen ninety during Don't Ask,
Don't Tell. And this is not normally my my deal.
Yeah right, I'm not. I don't like like the military
shows things like that. But this is so well done.
It sucks you in immediately. I should probably say that differently.
(28:11):
It brings you in, It draws can I read, let's.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Undertone.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
It draws you in immediately, right, The characters are very
very good.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Blows you away.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So this one is actually I have heard about this
this the season too got canceled or plans for a
second season got canceled. Yeah, because there's a whole controversy.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Controversy seemingly due to the pressure from the Trump administration
and the Pentagon, which publicly slammed the show for I'm
not even gonna repeat that basically lgbt Q backlash. Yeah, so,
which is the worst possible reason.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I too have heard. It's a great show, a really
good show, and a lot of people resonated with it,
especially since it is on a topic that millions of Americans,
or at least hundreds of thousands in the military over
the years, have been right directly impacted.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
By absolutely and it's not about being gay. That's the
other thing about the show. Yes, the main character is
Cameron Cope. He kind of impulsively joins the Marines with
his buddy and he wants a change, He wants to
be something new. But it is not just about him
being gay. It is about the military. It is about
(29:36):
boot camp. It is about transformation and changing your life
and becoming something better and overcoming obstacles. It is so
so good, and I feel like there are a lot
of ways that they could have made this terrible. There
are a lot of ways that they could have gone
a different direction with the story, or made a cliche
(29:59):
or on something inaccurate. But I was talking to my husband,
who's an Air Force veteran. He's like, this is one
of the most accurate depictions of boot camp that he's
ever seen. Now, he wasn't a marine, but you know,
the boot camps are kind of similar, but theirs are
much more intense. Just the tension that they build right
(30:20):
with everything that they're working towards. Right, everything feels like
the end of the world. Every challenge, every failure, it
feels like the end of the world, the end of
your purpose in life the end of the right. They
do such a wonderful job of building that tension, and
then when you get those comedic moments, when you get
those moments of relief, it really is like a tremendous
(30:41):
relief and it just feels all that much better when
you get it. So the actor who plays Cameron Cope
does a fantastic job. And another thing that they do
really well are there are these moments where he talks
to himself and it's literally a double of him, right,
(31:02):
so that he is doing two full extra performance, right,
He's doing an extra performance with himself, and the one
that is his conscience, that is his inner self, is
like the most liberated form of himself, is the truest
form of himself while he's out in the real world
struggling to survive. And I just thought that that was
a really interesting way of doing that and really effective
(31:24):
and really enjoyable in watching. And he's just so charismatic
and you you root from him for him from the
very beginning, and you come to care about this person
so much, and all of the other characters, quite frankly,
who are all kind of like assholes in the beginning,
and then they all. You see that slow progression towards
them becoming a team, becoming that that brotherhood building and
(31:47):
everything that they've gone through.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Did you say that you finish?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I tore through it. I'm already done. And it's eight
it's eight episodes long, and yeah, like three days I
could not stop watching. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Unfortunately, with how the in real life the show ended.
Does this this the season end on a cliffhanger?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Does it does end on a cliffinger? It ends on
a cliffhanger?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I hope that maybe someone else picks them up and
that they continue producing it because it is an excellent,
excellent show.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So check out Boots Netflix.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Boots on Netflix, Go check out.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Boots on Netflix. And uh yeah again I heard good
things about it. So unfortunately it is what it is
at least right now.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, let's pivots, let's do a let's do a hard pivots.
Like so the SAG Awards, the Actors Awards is what
they call them now, right, that's right. The Actor Awards
nominations are out and leading the pack. A lot of
great movies, a lot of great performances up for noms
and we'll just start. We not even go through the
whole thing, but basically looking at the outstanding for pformance
(33:00):
by cast in a motion picture. We have Frankenstein, I think,
also on Netflix. Skermala del Toro directed it, starring Jacob Elordi,
who we will talk about later in this episode. Hamnit,
which is starring Pedro Mascal.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Mascal, Pedro Musca not.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Pedro Pascal, Pedro Mascal, Marty Supreme. One battle after another
and Sinners let's see, uh we have.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
A now one battle after another. Yeah, they were the standout.
I believe they got seven nominations to kind of lead
the pack in that. Frankenstein and Sinners also raking up
a bunch of nominations.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Five nominations Frankenstein three, ham Knit three, Marty Supreme three
as well. So h really looking looking forward to this again.
Some of the male actors, female actors, some of the
people you were you would expect to see. Amma Stone
I heard Bigonia is really good. That's one where people
thinking she's a alien. Maybe maybe she is. I haven't
(34:02):
seen the movie Chase Infinnity won battle after another great
in that film as well. Rose byrn if I had
legs I'd kick you from a male actor. A couple
of them include le Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawk, Michael b Jordan,
Jesse Plemons, Timothy.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Shallamah tim In the women's category, some people were complaining
that someone was left out from Wicked. Oh, Cynthia Revo
was not nominated in anything for the Actors Awards, but
(34:39):
the other one was what's her name? One who plays Yeah,
Ariana was nominated, but Cynthia wasn't, so some people were
not happy about that. In the musical category, uh no, uh,
Ariana was nominated for Supporting.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Actress Supporting Okay, right, hmm.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So some people were not happy about that.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Poor poor people, those poor people. Yeah, I believe the
Golden Globes this weekend hosted by Nikki Glazer, who was
a hilarious comedian, and this Actor's Awards that's gonna be
in March, March first, March first. Yeah, all right, So
keep an eye out. Who do you want to win?
Who will win? Place our bets. But you know what,
(35:24):
I'm betting on that you and I have the right taste,
the right picks for our movie crushes from our childhood.
And I'm not just talking about this topic out of
the blue. I'm talking about it because Jacob Alordie, he
was recently interviewed and he revealed his childhood movie crushes.
Who were you know, who he looked up to and
(35:48):
fond over, fond over as a child. Some of these
are you know, totally like understandable, kind of same age
range era, and then some completely separated by decades. And
but I understand, I understand that a couple of his
on his list of movie crushes or TV crushes Barbara
Eden from I Dream of Genie. Oh, that's like back
(36:11):
in the seventies. Yeah, yeah, good, a man of good taste,
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen specifically from two thousand and
four New York Minute. I think if you say Mary Kate,
you have to include Ashley and vice versa. He just
can't be like, I'm more of an Ashley Olsen.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Identical.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, Miley Cyrus specifically from the Hannah Montana era, Hillary
Duff from the Lizzie McGuire era our movie as well.
And get this, Jacob ELORDI, he's very comforted. I don't
know what his sexual orientation is, but he's apparently very
comfortable by saying this but he said his first celebrity
crush was actually Brad Pitt. Wow, yeah, it wasn't It
(36:50):
wasn't he all of ours as well as Orlando Bloom
but as his character legalists and the Lord of the Rings. Yeah,
so that has us. I think it's so connected.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Okay, cool, good, Yeah, all right, all right, So we.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Have our own little list of our movie crushes growing
up and some around our own age range, I would assume,
and some not for sure, but don't do one on one. Yeah,
let's go, all right. This was my my awakening as
a child. This is when I realized I like women.
I like women. Jamie Lee Curtis and true lies. Jamie
(37:29):
Lee Curtis.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yes, she has been many people's awakenings.
Speaker 1 (37:34):

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I love him. My secret imaginary elderly boyfriend and somebody
recently like asked me a question about Harrison Ford. They're like, oh, man,

just just want to put that out there, Okay, I

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Whatd Yeah, but look from nine years old, from nine
years old, I have been in love with Harrison Ford
and it's never gonna change.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Harrison and get it. Also, childhood crush of mine. Charlie's
therenn nice choice very I had. I had a growing up.
I had my behind my door. I had cut out
magazines because at the time she was like in every
magazine and uh, I just cut out magazine pages of
her and taped them on my door.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
That I did the same thing.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I still have those in my house. My wife is
very upset by them. He says, take them down. I
say no, nay, I say hey.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I say, I say who. I also had on my
wall growing up as a team mister Devin.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Salwah, mister Slim shady.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Mister Casper himself, who played very Casper and Casper and
was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I don't really can I keep you? I think he
did the body, he.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Did the body he did at the very end.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, when he goes back to life for a brief
moment in time.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Can I keep you? Oh my god, I love that.
That's what Christina Ricci.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Ristina Richie, I'd say. If my list was longer, she'd
be to it. Okay, on my list. Also Emma Watson
for the Harry Potter films. Yeah, how could you not
fall in love with her during that during that period?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Oh my go on, Carrie Yules,
Oh yeah, carry Eules from the Princess Bride and Men

was the you know, he was the nineties heart throb.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
He was also.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Jungle Book, the one back. Do you remember that one
that has like in the nineties, the Jungle Book took
place like in India. I think that's where the actual
book and story does take place, but they actually filmed
it with live like bears, tigers, panthers and all that stuff.
It's actually a really solid interpretation of you know, an
interpretation of the Jungle Book movie or the story. Check
it out. Also, he's in that movie. He plays one
(40:51):
of the English hunts hunters or soldiers. He does a
very good job. Who also always does a very good job.
Is Sandra Bullock fell in love with They're on Speed
as well as Miss Congeniality. I love Miss Congeniality beautiful.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Oh my gosh, yes, the Transformation. Yeah, even before the Transformation,
she was cool. I love Sandra Bullock too.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Mister cryst o'donald Chris o'donald, who played.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Robin in the Batman movies back then, h yeah, my god,
early two thousand, early maybe is around I think nineties. Yeah,
it was like that ninety eight nine kind of time.
But yes, oh Crystal Donald, he's beautiful eyes.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
What is kind of cringing for that movie is when
he did the karate to dry his laundry, He's like
whipping his socks and his wet shirt and tied it
around like.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
A like the bat button. The bat nipples and all that.
The Karate Champion ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah. Now, if AI robots can do karate laundry, put
that away, then okay, you can sign me up for that.
But other than that, no, thank you, but yes, thank
you to miss Eliza Doushku also in True Lies and
also in Bring it On, Bring It On, Bring it On?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Why am I not able to picture her?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Eli? Which one is she? She's a very cute one.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
The very cute one.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Okay, yeah, I actually interviewed her for WBZ, so that
was actually like a personal like, oh.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Right, Eliza Doucheku. Oh yeah, good choice, Yeah, good choice. Yeah,
so that's awesome when you get to meet your crush.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah. I didn't tell her that because I didn't want
to make her uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
But call HR and all that.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Let us know. Don't call HR on us, but let
us know who your movie childhood crushes were. We all
had them. Do you ever had? I know this is
not it's not controversial, but every kid, I think when
you watch a cartoon, there's some cartoon characters where you're like, damn, yes,
please for me. Roxanne from Goofy movie, Yeah, yeah, no,
(42:51):
it's pretty good. Some people online have said Nala, no.
Some people have said robin Hood from the animated you
know the.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Robin Hood from Yes, from the animated robin Hood that,
but also surprisingly Crash Bandicoot from the Crushed Pandicoot games.
It's just something about the white shoulders he had the like.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
The board shorts also.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Right, yeah, yeah, the board shorts.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
So you know, band coop my crash crash my band cooop.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Anyways, anyways, this podcast is over now.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Thank you so much for watching us sticky through and
letting us embarrass ourselves with our childhood movie crushes. But again,
comment down below, join the conversation. Let us know who
you were fawning over. Who would late at night you
were dreaming of while watching that movie or TV show? Also,
comment on your thoughts on just the use of AI.
Who do you have on your wall AI not only
(43:47):
in our household but in movies? What's your opinion on that? Also?
What are some of the topics we hit on? We
hit on so many things today, SAG Awards, Who do
you want to win the Pits? Watch the Pits, footscoot
and boogie? Sure yeah, sure, well this was the hub
on Hollywood. I'm James, I'm Jamie. We will see you
(44:09):
next
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, we are Back in the Pit Baby.
Season two is now streaming on HBO Max. This is
the first thing I'm gonna be doing after this podcast.
In the first episode, Okay, so much more greater news
related to that. I'm jazzed about this show, ye in
case you couldn't tell, but I'm looking forward to that.
We're also looking to our past childhood movie crushes. We've
(00:35):
all had them. And a recent Big A List star
who's rising in the ranks. He's talked about his movie
crushes growing up as well, so why not talk about
our own. A new year means a new live action
adaptation of a beloved and already perfect film that needs
no adaptation. Yeah, absolutely not. The Screen Actors Guild naming
(00:55):
their picks for best Film and Television Cast, and a
wicked scary movie trailer and more, and it is not
a Wicked Part three starring Ariana Grunde and reviw Cynthia Arrivo. Correct,
correct now, But first, Jamie uh Cees is going on
right now underway in Las Vegas. You are aware of cees.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I have been made aware the Consumer Electronics Show.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's amazing thing that my son is also very interested
in robots and AI.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Kids are you know, they're getting younger and younger, like
the more interesting in the younger younger, and we can't
stop them. It's a real it's a real disease. It's
the Benjamin Button effect. No, but but the younger kids seemingly,
the younger and younger they are are getting into technology,
and technology is getting more involved into our own lives.
(01:50):
That is because at the world's largest and most influential
tech trade show, showcasing groundbreaking and innovations, products, and future
trends in the electronics industry, Artificial intelligence is front and
center at this year's events, with all the households being
turned into AI, walking, talking, feeding machines, you name it,
(02:15):
it's AI power now, toasters, ovens.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I watched, I watched a movie about this. You ever
watched Mitchell's Versus the Machines? I have, Yeah, and what
happens robot uprising? There's chips and literally everything down to
your toaster.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Good question may come after.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You at the end. So I don't know how to
feel about this, but okay.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So basically they're unveiling all their new goods and products
that they're trying to sell you. The thing is, you know,
none of it works or it's very useless at this point.
For example, they have a lot of things like revolving
around smart laundry, smart vacuum cleaners, like a very smart
roomba that can like climb up stairs and whatnot, smart glasses,
(02:57):
which may be the most viable tech right now. But
they also have smart robots that fold laundry. Did you
see the video I sent you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh yeah, don't lie.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You don't have to lie.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I was a little busy, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Okay, video, No worry. So basically, imagine Rosy, the robot
from the Jetsums. Yeah, but a lot slower on wheels
and it's trying to fold a towel but it takes
fifteen minutes. But it's the future and you can buy
it now for twenty five thousand dollars or whatever. But
it's also operated by AI. So so you're paying for
(03:34):
this big robot, clunky robot that you have nowhere to
store it. No, we're you gonna put it we're gonna
charge it, but they're they're showing up all this technology
and things that will solve your life or make your
life easier. When I could put a towel away in
like two seconds, as opposed to charging subscribing to a subscription,
paying for that monthly service and watching a robot bomb
(03:57):
like you know, bungle it and take fifteen minutes to
fall one tell I don't know. It's making me upset.
There's also walking side table. So imagine that this table
right here was able to walk up and walk around us.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It maybe nice if it put itself away that you know.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I suppose, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But why does your table need to move? Why does
your table need to.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Why does your coffee table?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You can't just go sure, you just can't push it
like two seconds with your finger, Like why do I
have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to have
it like move a few inches by itself?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Right? So it makes no sense, and so it makes
things more complicated, more expensive, and again everything is going
to be like a subscription service. But that has us
looking back to our old friends cinema movies, and they
have they've produced countless tales as old as time of
the horrors of what AI can do, especially in the household.
(04:46):
Before we get to this list, I just remembered one.
Do you remember the Disney Channel movie Smart House.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I did not see that one.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It starred Oh my goodness, I'm blanking on her name.
She was the voice of Lela on Futurama. She was
also Pam. She was on Married with Children, she was
the mom.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
She was on like how to Date My rules for
dating my daughter anyway, great actress, great voice actor. Anyway,
she was in that movie too. Basically, the house was
everything was smart and operated by one single AI engine,
and eventually it became like a real life mother, like
a virtual one, but tormented the family and make control them,
and it was it was a terrible, terrible situation.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, here's here's the other thing before we move on
real quick. Just these smart devices that they've got going
on in this Like you watch them, not only the
folding one, but there's ones that cook and then they're like,
you know, they throw your eggs everywhere and then they
fall over. It's like, we've got such a long way
to go before these things are at all viable. No,
but have you ever watched Barbie Dreamhouse. There's a cartoon
(05:48):
that my my daughter watches Barbie dream House. Same thing.
They've got the Barbie dream House and everything is AI
and computer and controlled and.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Robots.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Somebody hacks into the house and it's way crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
They always do. So anyways, one last thing before we
get to the movie is I did mention did you
see they have smart companions also, so pet lap dogs
that will like sit on your lap and it'll like
it'll use AI to pretend to be a dog and
react to you. And eventually the goal is to have
them actually walking around, So have walking, sitting, jumping, you know,
(06:22):
lap dogs.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I feel like maybe that could provide the most positive
thing for.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
People, especially for maybe senior citizens. You know, they already
do that with like stuffed animals like legit, like just
stuffed animals that may vibrate because it does bring some comfort,
and so bring make robots and sure put AI in it.
But you know, to solve a current problem. There are
many things that I don't have a problem folding my towel.
Many people don't, and so don't work on that tech.
(06:49):
Work on tech, like maybe a bionic arm for somebody
without an arm like use AI to like make somebody
walk again. That medicine, medicine.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Search yea, and things like that. That is I think
where AI belongs the most and can do the most good.
But we don't. We don't need AI making movies. We
don't need AI making music or art in any way.
And really, how are we this far behind in twenty
twenty six? Twenty twenty six? Yeah, that the cooking robot
(07:18):
is just like you know, have spazzing out and like
you know, in the folding robot it takes fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Give me cooking robots at Chipotle they've been testing that out.
So they have like a conveyor belt kind of a thing. Yeah,
it's a conveyor a beout no AI, As far as
I know, I could be.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Wrong, Yeah, but just like robots.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, you know what we are not wrong about is.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Hey, people come on, hey, human beings.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No anyway, Jamie, you're so that's so dumb paying people
a livapol wage. Get out here, lame my AI. Super
lords overlords pay no attention to her. She know not
what she's say. But what we do say is that
you should watch these other great movies where AI goes
wrong oks, beginning with Terminator one, Terminator two, the original.
There are no more terminators after that, trust me. It's
(07:59):
just stops that too. Did you see I Robot with
Robot That robot was framed for murder and then other
actual robots did commit murder. Yeah, he can draw.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It was actually a very good movie.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yes, x Mahina ex Machina. Actually I love that one
with with our boy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Our boy Uh we know him, yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We know him, you know, he's best friend Oscar Isaac. Yeah.
So in that world, it shows the dangers of the Creator,
who is the main evil and main antagonist, the.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Beautiful woman robot. Yeah, and everything that she does to escape.
And it's such a great psychlo it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
A great movie. It's beautiful, great visual effects The Matrix.
Speaking about visual effects, The Rise of the Machines Artificial
Intelligence starring Jude Law and Haley Joel Osmon. Great movie.
Blade Runner, Blade Runner twenty forty nine. Chappy, Chappy, that's
that's a trippy chappy. Did you see Meghan or some
(09:00):
people say.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But I've heard a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah. Yeah. So basically it's like it's kind of like
you you are instead of buying your child, your child, Like,
what's that bear? The Roxbury bear that can talk to you?
You're buying them you're a child? No, we're not old
at all. A child robot that is sentience seemingly and
can just apparently murder people and go on a rampage
(09:24):
and do a little c Do you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Notice a que dance?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Do you notice a common denominator here? A common theme
between these movies? Maybe perhaps a bit is ai No,
well yes, okay, yeah, but are these happy ending movies?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I can't think of a Oh there is one good one,
I guess technically that's the one with Robin Williams where
he plays a robot and then he becomes I mean,
he is a robot with artificial intelligence, and even he
wants to become a human. He wants to be a
real boy. Yeah, and they put like, you know, they
make him to like a man with like like right,
bionic Man. I think so, yeah, Monicle Man's Centennial Man
(10:06):
something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, but there's another movie too, is it's short Circuit?
The short circuit movies where it's the robot who's like
a cop or he's the friend of the kids.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You mean robo cop.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
No no, no, I mean short circuit back from the
depths of my memory, my childhood movie memories.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was so good though. It was like the sentient
robot and then he makes friends with the kid and
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's one of the think a terminator terminator too.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Anyways, they are nice to kids though, that's like a theme.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, I suppose. I'm sure some children have been, you know,
maimed in the making of of AI intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But basically I think there's a warning here. Do you
not think so? I mean all of these movies have
a common like theme ending.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Warning, warning, warning, danger. Yeah, out for the AI again,
go look out. Look at cees reviews and clips that
are on right now going on in Las Vegas, because
some of these things that they're trying to sell to
the people, it's it's bonkers. I don't like it. But
speaking of smart devices, this is basically the main plotline,
(11:18):
seemingly of the new toy story five that's coming out.
The latest image has been released and if you can
pull it up, I actually have it right here too.
But basically we have a picture, a screenshot of Buzz
and Woody inside of closet, but they're peaking through the
little like slats slats of the of the closet door,
(11:40):
and they see Bonnie face glowing with the with the
shining of an iPad of whatever that you know, lily
pad toad thingy pad is, and then her mom looking
down at her as well. I guess they're trying to
solve a problem. She was very concerned. Right now, Bonnie
has a very concerned look on her face. But yeah,
this is the Do you think they'll stick the landing
(12:00):
on this one? What do you think the message will be?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think that probably the message ultimately is going to
be that human connection and connection with toy is more
valuable than connection with AI, with with computer. Right then
the screen then that glow and that you know, maybe
(12:26):
the little girl is you know, gets super attached to
it and she doesn't play with her toys anymore. But
then they take her on an adventure to rediscover.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The finest way home, just like, what do you think do.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You think the iPad is going to be sentient?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I think it will be okay. I think I think
Buzz and Woody and the rest of the toys are
going to have like a face off with the iPad.
The iPad's going to be like the villain, Yo, get
at your your extincts. This is an extinction for you guys.
And then I don't know, you can't really defend itself, right,
I mean, I mean I.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Got sure it could spin, it can hop I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, man, Well, with these companies nowadays, I would not
be surprised that they built in a hopping feature for
the iPad in case you left it in the opposite room.
It just finds you wherever you are. It's like, hey,
turn me on, play with me. No no, no, no,
no no no. But what we are saying, yes, yes, yes,
Jamie two is local filming, local work, local productions and events.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So right now, not a ton of work going on.
Dead of winter. It's a little cold outside. Cool, a
little bit of ice, yeah, a little bit of snow
every day. But there are some events that people should
know about, especially if you are an indie filmmaker, if
you are up and coming. The SAG Indie Organization is

having a low budget Film Contract Workshop if they're going
to talk about the entire process of how to get
your film funded and made. That is going to be

early bird deadline is January thirty first. They also have
a Producer's Lab workshop coming up, so that is Stow

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I have a quick question for you, James, that's just random.
I will give you so much money, Okay, bonus points
if you can identify what this picture is referencing. My
husband just sent this to me. Okay, it's my son
wearing a T shirt. Oh yeah, this is Scott's tots.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah. The Office?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Did you not know her?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No? I I know, I'm forced to know. It was
like the worst, most uncomfortable episode of the Office ever.
TV and my my husband loved who loves the Office,
got my son Scott's shirt that says Scott's tots.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So he is waiting for his promised free college tuition.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, that's a that's a good photo. I love that.
My wife and I we just gave each other and
she gave her brother like Simson's themed shirts. Some of
them was like very obscure Simpson's references. And my wife
like a pin peals the bowling shirt that Homer and
his friends have as also the Isotopes like baseball team.
It's like, I don't know, we like that. Shirts are fun.
(17:09):
I like that exactly. This justin shirts are fun. Yeah,
but you know what else is justin the news of
not only Yeah, not only how that Tangled is gonna
be made into a live action adapted film, But they've
also announced the cast who will be filling the roles.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Of They do look great to be fair.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah yeah, they don't look bad. Yeah. So we have
Australian actress Tagan Kraft who will be playing Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your Hair, And then we're gonna have from Zombies.
The Disney Channels musical zombies, Milo Mannheim Manheim, I think so, Melo,
(17:52):
come on the podcast and let us know how you
pronounce your name. But he's gonna be playing Flynn Ryder.
And just by this photo right here, Jamie, yeah, that
looks like a smolder. That looks smoldery.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know, I was maybe, you know, I think it
could work. I think it could work. I think it
looks a little different from maybe what I would be expecting.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
For a slint Rider. Yeah, but they don't look you know,
they are very attractive people, so yeah, you put them
in a movie, which should be fine. The thing is,
as you know, Jamie, as you know, is Tangled. You
heav you watched Tangle. I love Tangle. It's a great movie.
She's so she loves so much, just throws her phone down,
(18:34):
But yeah, I love Tangle. It's a very fun movie.
My daughter actually watched it as well, and she enjoys
it very much. And it's a fun movie. Great animation,
nice fun story, moves at a quick pace. The villain's
a very good villain. The momb I call her mother dearest.
But yeah, so of course Disney is going back to
the Disney. Well, forget the Disney vaults, go back to
(18:56):
the well and bringing up a new movie that no one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Nobody is asking for it, nobody's asking. But guess what,
Jamie wait, I've got something for you too. But yeah,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's gonna make a billion dollars. It's not gonna be
a good billion it's not gonna be either a good
movie or it's going to be a shot for shot
and remake of the original. It's gonna make a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yes, yes, so maybe we're wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yes, maybe maybe we're wrong?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Are we though in our hearts? Maybe listen, James, But
I texted you this the other day, and I just like,
would like your live reaction to my five now six
year old daughter, yes, saying that she likes the Leelo
and Stitch live action more than the original cartoon.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Your daughter's wrong, Your daughter's wrong. I hardly ever say
that six year olds are wrong. Wrong, But but your
daughter is now. Hear me out.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You needs to go recondition here.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, we have a camp for her. No, but hear
me out. Do you think if it was reversed because
you do the you did the old Jamie Trikaroo switcheroo
where you played you show them the live action first,
and then you show them the classic perfect one. Do
you think if you showed the vice versa one, do
you think you will like the animated version over the
live action.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't know, because you know, when I showed her
the cartoon, she's like, I feel like she identified with
the little girl who played a little more than the cartoon.
She thought that she was so cute. And so I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
My daughter's watched Leelo and Stitch, the animated version. She's
going to be banned from watching the live action one.
But even when she does, I'll let you know how
she feels about it. But lastly, to wrap up the
tangled tangle up here, there's a rumor out there. This
is probably not true, but there's a rumor that Sabrina
(20:49):
Carpenter proliferated. And we're going to keep spreading this because
that's what we do on the helb on Hollywood. But
this is I think it's a harmless rumor. But the
rumor is Sabrina Carpenter was in the running to play
Rapunzel Entangled, but sources say those who are making the
movie think that she's just too beautiful.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
She's a little too.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know what I'm saying here.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I'm just gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
How can you be too beautiful? But she doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean, a few of us know what it's like
to be too beautiful, so we understand.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But listen, listen. I don't know, I don't I think
she just doesn't have that look for this character, that's all.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I think she has the charm and the personality because
Rapunzel is very quirky, quirky, quark, quirky, quirky, quirky, and
Subprina Carpenter can also dial that up and down. So
I think, I mean, does she need to be in everything?
At the end of the day, who cares?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
She could do this soundtrack?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There you go. There, I guess you'd be the soundtrack.
Speaking about sounds, there's a new movie coming out in March,
a twenty four film called Undertone. And I saw this.
I first saw, like, you know, people kind of rumbling like, oh,
this is a scary ass movie. I guess it showed
at some festivals earlier last year or late last year,
(22:23):
and so I was like, okay, let me and the
trailer had just dropped, and so this was like two
days ago and I watched it maybe two hours after
it got uploaded to YouTube. And the audio the video
for this teaser is only audio. It has a wavelength
and right here. And as I was watching this, I
got home from work. You know, I went in my
room late on the bed after. You know, I'm tired,
but I want to watch my stuff. So I'm watching
(22:45):
this and I see, oh, there's a trailer. Let me
put it on. The only person at home is me
and my cat. Right. I started playing this and I
don't get really spooked at all, but like it starts
playing and I'm like like, okay, this is kind of creepy.
This is weird. And then I started hearing noises in
the house, so like it's like is that the video
or is it was like the hair creaking around and
(23:05):
so no joke. Halfway through this, I got up, looked around.
It's like the cat sleeping. Like, okay, the cat would
be like you know, under a couch.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Started playing your head.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, And so it started it started playing with my head.
And so I'm gonna play a little bit. It's like
two thirty two minutes thirty seconds long. I'll play a
little bit but it is kind of trippy. So here
is undertone teaser trailer. The official trailer also dropped a
recommend watching both. But here is a little bit of
the teaser. Just listen, just listen, like.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The I don't trust this.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Like the hair is on the back of your neck, Like.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't trust this, Jim.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So we'll just stop that right there on that image
of this freaky kind of person right now. But yeah,
so everyone listening on the podcast, you're welcome. Like, yeah,
I'm watching this on my bed and listening to this.
I'm like, I'm watching these images of like this painting,
you know, flash back and forth and whatnot. And I'm like,
I think something's in this house right now, and so
well then yeah, the frequencies of sound it's all played
(24:42):
backwards too. So this is how crazy I am. So
I downloaded the video, download the audio, and I went
into my editing software and I flipped and reversed it,
flipped and reversed it just like and yeah, it's like
Bob Bob Black Sheep, but in interspliced throughout it is
like some and we're like or it's like, yeah, where's
(25:03):
she go? Kind of like with those kind of things
a lot more creepy than I just did. But it's
like it's very creepy that come back no but and
so like that move. This has peaked my interest, and
I watched the trailer and I recommend that you watch
the trailer as well because it actually like goes over
(25:23):
the plot line. But basically what the plot is about,
it's about.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
A This is a continuation of the tone of the tone.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So a podcast host covering spooky content moves into the
care center for her dying mother. When sent recordings of
a pregnant couple's paranormal encounters, she discovers their story parallels hers,
each tape, pushing her toward madness. Madness and so this
is really good marketing. I love that because it creeped
(25:59):
the heck out of me and I hardly get spooked
by like anything. Yeah, so this this you guys over
at Undertone A twenty four good job.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I feel like I have a headache now after listening trippy.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I know, I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
There's something like legit in there, you know what I
mean that because there are different frequencies, they can do
things to your body, Like what if they're like slipping
something in there to like legit make you like stressed
out dress.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Your body or ray go up hairs at the back
of your neck stand up. There's definite some psychological warfare
going on this one, oh man. But you know what
we won't be skipping, especially me, is The Pit. Season
two is back, baby, and it's on HBO Max. I
can't wait to watch it. Season three has already been confirmed.
(26:49):
They're gonna start filming this summer so they can have
another January release premiere. This is how you make shows,
you don't it, dude? Yeah, don't wait two three years
in between seasons Stranger Things over there.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
This has a lot less like special effects.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, CGIs also better, like yeah, this story is also better.
S it is even with all the years of time
to planning, Stranger Things should have a better script from
what I've heard people say. So this is just me,
you know, Monday Morning Corter backing it. But I can't
wait for The Pit. Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And I've been watching something really fantastic recommended to us
by a friend of the show, mister Dennis Gurhita. Boots
just came out on Netflix well in twenty twenty five
on Rotten Tomatoes and It is about a gay man
(27:49):
who joins the Marines in nineteen ninety during Don't Ask,
Don't Tell. And this is not normally my my deal.
Yeah right, I'm not. I don't like like the military
shows things like that. But this is so well done.
It sucks you in immediately. I should probably say that differently.
(28:11):
It brings you in, It draws can I read, let's.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Undertone.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
It draws you in immediately, right, The characters are very
very good.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Blows you away.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So this one is actually I have heard about this
this the season too got canceled or plans for a
second season got canceled. Yeah, because there's a whole controversy.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Controversy seemingly due to the pressure from the Trump administration
and the Pentagon, which publicly slammed the show for I'm
not even gonna repeat that basically lgbt Q backlash. Yeah, so,
which is the worst possible reason.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I too have heard. It's a great show, a really
good show, and a lot of people resonated with it,
especially since it is on a topic that millions of Americans,
or at least hundreds of thousands in the military over
the years, have been right directly impacted.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
By absolutely and it's not about being gay. That's the
other thing about the show. Yes, the main character is
Cameron Cope. He kind of impulsively joins the Marines with
his buddy and he wants a change, He wants to
be something new. But it is not just about him
being gay. It is about the military. It is about
(29:36):
boot camp. It is about transformation and changing your life
and becoming something better and overcoming obstacles. It is so
so good, and I feel like there are a lot
of ways that they could have made this terrible. There
are a lot of ways that they could have gone
a different direction with the story, or made a cliche
(29:59):
or on something inaccurate. But I was talking to my husband,
who's an Air Force veteran. He's like, this is one
of the most accurate depictions of boot camp that he's
ever seen. Now, he wasn't a marine, but you know,
the boot camps are kind of similar, but theirs are
much more intense. Just the tension that they build right
(30:20):
with everything that they're working towards. Right, everything feels like
the end of the world. Every challenge, every failure, it
feels like the end of the world, the end of
your purpose in life the end of the right. They
do such a wonderful job of building that tension, and
then when you get those comedic moments, when you get
those moments of relief, it really is like a tremendous
(30:41):
relief and it just feels all that much better when
you get it. So the actor who plays Cameron Cope
does a fantastic job. And another thing that they do
really well are there are these moments where he talks
to himself and it's literally a double of him, right,
(31:02):
so that he is doing two full extra performance, right,
He's doing an extra performance with himself, and the one
that is his conscience, that is his inner self, is
like the most liberated form of himself, is the truest
form of himself while he's out in the real world
struggling to survive. And I just thought that that was
a really interesting way of doing that and really effective
(31:24):
and really enjoyable in watching. And he's just so charismatic
and you you root from him for him from the
very beginning, and you come to care about this person
so much, and all of the other characters, quite frankly,
who are all kind of like assholes in the beginning,
and then they all. You see that slow progression towards
them becoming a team, becoming that that brotherhood building and
(31:47):
everything that they've gone through.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Did you say that you finish?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I tore through it. I'm already done. And it's eight
it's eight episodes long, and yeah, like three days I
could not stop watching. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Unfortunately, with how the in real life the show ended.
Does this this the season end on a cliffhanger?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Does it does end on a cliffinger? It ends on
a cliffhanger?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I hope that maybe someone else picks them up and
that they continue producing it because it is an excellent,
excellent show.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So check out Boots Netflix.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Boots on Netflix, Go check out.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Boots on Netflix. And uh yeah again I heard good
things about it. So unfortunately it is what it is
at least right now.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, let's pivots, let's do a let's do a hard pivots.
Like so the SAG Awards, the Actors Awards is what
they call them now, right, that's right. The Actor Awards
nominations are out and leading the pack. A lot of
great movies, a lot of great performances up for noms
and we'll just start. We not even go through the
whole thing, but basically looking at the outstanding for pformance
(33:00):
by cast in a motion picture. We have Frankenstein, I think,
also on Netflix. Skermala del Toro directed it, starring Jacob Elordi,
who we will talk about later in this episode. Hamnit,
which is starring Pedro Mascal.

Shallamah tim In the women's category, some people were complaining
that someone was left out from Wicked. Oh, Cynthia Revo
was not nominated in anything for the Actors Awards, but

Ariana was nominated, but Cynthia wasn't, so some people were
not happy about that. In the musical category, uh no, uh,

keep an eye out. Who do you want to win?
Who will win? Place our bets. But you know what,
(35:24):
I'm betting on that you and I have the right taste,
the right picks for our movie crushes from our childhood.
And I'm not just talking about this topic out of
the blue. I'm talking about it because Jacob Alordie, he
was recently interviewed and he revealed his childhood movie crushes.
Who were you know, who he looked up to and
(35:48):
fond over, fond over as a child. Some of these
are you know, totally like understandable, kind of same age
range era, and then some completely separated by decades. And
but I understand, I understand that a couple of his
on his list of movie crushes or TV crushes Barbara
Eden from I Dream of Genie. Oh, that's like back
(36:11):
in the seventies. Yeah, yeah, good, a man of good taste,
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen specifically from two thousand and
four New York Minute. I think if you say Mary Kate,
you have to include Ashley and vice versa. He just
can't be like, I'm more of an Ashley Olsen.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Identical.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, Miley Cyrus specifically from the Hannah Montana era, Hillary
Duff from the Lizzie McGuire era our movie as well.
And get this, Jacob ELORDI, he's very comforted. I don't
know what his sexual orientation is, but he's apparently very
comfortable by saying this but he said his first celebrity
crush was actually Brad Pitt. Wow, yeah, it wasn't It
(36:50):
wasn't he all of ours as well as Orlando Bloom
but as his character legalists and the Lord of the Rings. Yeah,
so that has us. I think it's so connected.

Okay, cool, good, Yeah, all right, all right, So we.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Have our own little list of our movie crushes growing
up and some around our own age range, I would assume,
