Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
This is the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast. I'm
your co host James Rojas, not Jamie Blanco. On this
week's episode, we have a non spoiler review of what
may be the best movie trilogy in entire cinema history,
Paddington in Peru, A non spoiler Dory. This will be

(00:30):
a non spoiler because Jamie has not seen it. We
also celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Star Wars Revenge of
the Sith. We say goodbye to two actors, one who
was a living legend and another who many of us
in our generation. Jamie grew up watching Zendia, joining a
beloved Mean Green franchise, and more. But first, Jamie, I

(00:54):
have to say we talked about, you know, there's this
new England lawmaker in Connecticut who is taking aim at
movie theaters that run trailers, you know, commercials for way
too long, extending the time that you are in that seat,
wasting your precious you know, irreplaceable time. Well, one person

(01:17):
is actually taking or he took a movie theater to
court and he won for that exact exact reason. Yeah,
first we'll get into the details. But when you heard
that somebody actually did take a movie theater to court.
What what went through your head?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah? I'm like, was it James?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was me? I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Are you working on your your filing now? Are you
going to be filing a lawsuit suit? Yeah? I feel
like this is a bandwagon that you need to jump
on if it worked. The thing is, this was not
in America.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Right, no, no, no, no no, this was This took
place in India and to the worst person you want
to mess with, an Indian lawyer. So this guy knew
he was getting screwed in the process, and he's like,
I think I can sue for this. So there's this guy.
I guess he went to go see a very popular
movie back in twenty twenty three. That's how long in
litigation this has been in. But he went to a

(02:15):
movie and he said, you know, he went in at
four o'clock. As the movie started, the showtime was for
four oh five. That's what he bought a ticket for
four oh five. He said there were thirty minutes of
extended trailers, of extended PSAs, of extended advertisements, so much

(02:35):
so that he did not get out of the theater
until seven o'clock. So of course, you know, you have
reason to be to be annoyed. He was more so
annoyed and angered because he was planning to be out
of the movie theater before a six point thirty interview
or a six to thirty business phone call, but that

(02:56):
he that he missed because I guess you know, you're
watching a movie, you're not keeping track of your watch
or your phone, and then you come out, You're like, WHOA,
what time is it? I missed that very important thing.
And so he sued the biggest movie chain in India,
saying that he sued for damages to not only like
a monetary value, an undisclosed monetary value because of this

(03:19):
business call, but he also found a lawsuit over mental
distress and anguish. The judge heard his case, he pleaded
his case and he said, you are absolutely right. You
are owed money. And in fact, he won nearly fifteen
hundred dollars for that case. And this gives me hope, Jamie,

(03:44):
that the people are standing up to big theater and
they're lengthy and they're lengthy times sucking tactics, that is
what I'll call them.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, I can definitely vouch for the fact that you
have suffered mental anguish yes, you have expressed anguish here
on the show multiple times. Yeah, I'm not as troubled
by it. I actually like the trailers and whatnot, not
so much like all the ads and you know, like five,

(04:16):
you know, watching like three Nicole Kidman's in a row.
But I do like the trailers. But still still, James,
if you had the chance, okay, maybe you should give
this guy a call, be like, hey, how do I
get this going?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Can you represent them.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
If you file out file? Okay, let's see if we
can we can get some traction on this.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, spending money again, it just makes sense because you know,
if you have a showtime, if you buy a ticket
for a four oh five showtime, it's not like imagine
you buy tickets for a plane and the flight says
take off at four oh five, but you get you
get in and you're waiting and then it takes off

(04:58):
a four thirty five. They're like, oh, yeah, you had
to wait for thirty minutes of PSA and advertisements and
stuff like. Nobody nobody would wait for that, Nobody would
would accept that, And so why should the movie theater
be any different? The trailers, the advertisements, the PSA's should
go before the showtime and yeah, you know the argument,

(05:19):
I'm sorry, go ahead, would you say that?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
So if they were more transparent, yeah, this would this
fix things for you. Yeah, maybe I didn't get rid
of all of that, but they just were honest about
it up front on the ticket.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Or something exactly they should they should on the showtime.
So there should be like color coded, so the the
first show the first time would be for example, four
or five that would be in red, so you know, danger,
and then the one in bluet that would be yeah, yeah,
that'd be the actual when the when the movie starts rolling,

(05:52):
that's that's when. So like this, like this slawmaker in Connecticut,
he wants it, he wants to make it. So the
theater has to advertise when exactly the movie starts. And again,
I know we made the argument, or you may have
or people have like, well, the advertisements are how the
movie theaters make money. Still sell them. People will go

(06:13):
if people want to watch the trailers, which which many
people do, they'll go and watch the watch the trailers.
Like they don't count the eyeballs that are sitting in
the seats for each showtime, per hour, per movie, for
per day and like, oh, well, you know fifteen or
rather it has be even sixteen, or it could be odd.
You know, some people have only one eye. So just
like these number of eyeballs, watch this advertisement, so you

(06:36):
get this much money, No, the money, The ticket's already sold,
the advertisements already sold. So that's that's my spiel. All
I'm saying is this Indian lawmaker, sorry it's Indian lawyer.
He is a hero and he needs to come to
America and represent us.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's right, he's a hero in James's eye, and we
are looking to hire him here. Of course, think about
movies you can want with the movie with the money
that you get from suing the movie theater.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I don't know. I would buy the movie theater
with the money that I won, and then there's no commercials,
no trailers, it's just me bouncing movie theater, movie theater.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Eventually you would be the pre show entertainment. Then you'd
be like dancing up on stage.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, that's much more entertaining, I think. All right, Well, anyway,
so kudos to that lawyer and first setting a precedence
on this ongoing battle, this very important battle that we're
all fighting. Now there's no easy way to change gears, Jamie.
But this past week we lost two actors very you know,

(07:43):
I want to say unexpected in regards to a mister
Gene Hackman. He was ninety five years old, and so
when I first saw a headline saying that he had
passed away, I knew, like, oh, I knew he was
ninety five years old. So it wasn't really the surpriser.
But then the sentence the alert kept continuing, followed by
you know, his wife passed away and one of their

(08:03):
dogs passed away as well, and so that was very surprising.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know Gene Hackman, I guess he's been retired for
about like twenty years, Like he retired in the seventies,
so he hasn't been really in the public spatlight for
for a very long time. And so no, this was
kind of left that out of left field, just the
way that this is unfolding, Like what have you heard
so far about the details, because I've a fact.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, the way that this is all unfolding. They did
not suspect foul play initially, but the circumstances were so
strange that, you know, the law enforcement has said that
it warrants a deeper investigation into the circumstances here. They
were there for quite some time. It appears the front

(08:50):
door was open, the wife was in the bathroom on
the bathroom floor with a heater by her head and
pills scattered everywhere, and Jean was in another room. So
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
That the dog was found suicide or just maybe who knows.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, it seems quite quite dramatic because his wife was
thirty years his junior.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Sixty five sixty four, I think. But the thing is,
when when I first heard that they passed away, my
first thought was carbon monoxide poisoning, and that's what many
people online were theorizing because because not only did he
pass away, she passed away, and there were different large
you know, big age gap, but also the dog a
dog they had three and two of them were found

(09:39):
on the property still alive, and one of the dogs
was found dead in the closet, and and so my
initial thought would be carbon monoxide poisoning, and people were
leaning towards that as a as a possible reason of
what happened. And then I guess thorough more investigating occurred
and law enforcement they said that they couldn't detect traces

(10:00):
of gas. Again, this was some time from when they
passed away to when they were found, so I don't
know if that dissipates. And because of that, you know,
they have to look into it further to confirm and
then or you know, does that raise the suspicion of
was their foul play or was it you know, like
you mentioned, like a murder suicide thing. Who knows. But

(10:23):
it's it's such such a crazy thing because, as we mentioned,
Gene Hackman, two time Academy Award winner, He's been in
countless movies, so many classic movies that will continue to
live on in the minds and hearts of so many people.
You know. I wrote down some of the movies that
I've seen him. Man, I haven't seen many of them,

(10:43):
And there's there's one, The French Connection, which he won
an Oscar for that I'm planning to watch sooner than
later now because of this. But of course he was
a Lex Luthor and Superman, Superman two. He was in
The Great Movie, a really fun movie behind Enemy Alliance
with Owen Wilson. That one's a good one. The Bird
Cage also with Robin Williams and I'm blanking on his name,

(11:08):
but here's the voice of timoone, Nathan Lane. Nathan Lane,
so the bird Cage roll Tennembaum's Heartbreakers. I just showed Ali,
my wife, a trailer for Heartbreakers that stars Jennifer Love,
Hewitt Ray Liotta, and Gene Hackman. And that was like
a fun one that I showed her the trailer and
now we kind of are planning to watch it soon.

(11:29):
The Replacements with Keanu Reeves Unforgiven another classic, So you know,
the list goes on for how many great movies this
guy was in. And they showed like a clip they've
been airing, you know, clips of interviews that he's done
in the past, and he was asked, you know, what
do you want people to remember you by? Or four?
And he said, you know, somebody who helped show the

(11:52):
human spirit, the human nature pretty much showing like what
what it means to be human through all this different
roles and the motions he conveyed on screen. So, yeah,
very surprising to hear about his passing and the circumstances.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, I think that certainly he will be remembered for
that in all of these incredible roles and we will
see what comes out of that investigation into what happened
with their passings. You think, ninety five years old, you know,
you just peacefully go. But yeah, they've left a mystery behind.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was hoping, yeah, I was hoping that it would
have been reported that again, this is when it first
came out, that you know, they would have been found
in bed kind of a thing. Then that would like
for sure, give the give the the at least the
indication that it was carbon monoxide and they didn't know
what was happening. A lot of people pass away in
their sleep when that kind of thing happens, and so
you know, it's tragic when someone does pass away, but

(12:54):
if that's the way to go, that would not be
a bad way, you know, for it to.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Happen right at ninety five years old.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
At ninety five years old. Again, again the condolences to
his wife and his family and his wife's family too,
because again just a really interesting, really bizarre, you know,
set of adventser circumstances.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
And we can all only you know, hope to live
to be ninety five and before we go. But you know,
adding to sort of the tragedy of this week, Michelle
Trachtenberg losing her life at just thirty nine years old.
You know she's she's around our age. And this one really,

(13:33):
this one really hit me, James, because I love her
in everything, not just in Gossip Girls or euro Trip,
which is one of my favorite movies.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, she was.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
She was a Nickelodeon kid. She was on Pete and
Pete and Pete.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I haven't heard Peen and Peen in forever. Thank you
for saying yes.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Pete and Pete. Oh my god, I have the DVDs
of Pete and Pete. It was one of my favorite shows.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Nobody has the DVDs of Pete and Pete. Nobody has
the DVD. That's funny.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's funny for them because I love that show so much.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's a good show.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It was. No, No, it absolutely was. And when was
the other one? She was in another Nickelodeon show.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
I believe Nickelodeon produced Harriet the Spy. Yeah, she was
also on I think she was a guest, if not
a reoccurring character on Clarissa explains it all, yeah with Yeah.
So many people were speaking about this. As we mentioned,
she passed away at thirty nine. She was found in
her apartment in New York, unconscious and unresponsive, and was

(14:37):
later pronounced dead. At this time, no foul play is suspected.
I know some people were theorizing that maybe she had
an illness. I think she had like kidney like a
kidney like surgery replacement. I don't call me.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
She had a liver transplant, had a liver transplant.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
So people were, you know, bringing up potential, you know,
maybe complication or what have you. Again, we don't know
what happened, but you know, everybody who has worked with
her knew her, have been commenting. And also I think
we mentioned Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My my sister and
my cousins and I used to watch that religiously on
it when it was during its during its live run.

(15:17):
But Sarah Michelle Galler, she came out saying I love
you on Instagram. I will always love you. The hardest
thing in this world is to live in it. I
will be brave, I will live for you. Blake Lively.
She also responded saying everything she did she did two
hundred percent. She laughed the fullest faced authority head on,
and she was fiercely loyal to her friends. Melissa Joan

(15:39):
Hart as I mentioned with Aunt Clarissa explains it all.
I'm heartbroken to hear the passing of Michelle, so young,
so talented, and so sweet. And then another last last
one I have here is another Buffy co star, James Marsters,
he who played Spike. He goes, yeah, he goes. My
heart is heavy today we have lost a beautiful soul.

(16:00):
Michelle was fiercely intelligent, howlingly funny, and a very talented person.
She died much too young, at least behind scores of
people who knew and loved her. Godspeed, you are missed.
So this one was a big, big surprise when that
alert came across my phone.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
And that's such a huge hit because they they were
just getting ready to revive Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
They like a new cast, no old cast, with.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
The original cast. They were going to be bringing Buffy
the Vampire Slayer back. It was it's in the works.
It's in the works right now. So that that is
just a major loss there too. I mean, obviously it's
more of a loss that she lost her life, but
would have loved to have seen the original cast back together.

(16:48):
But in recent months, Michelle had posted pictures online on
Instagram and things like that, and fans had been concerned.
Fans had been commenting on her appearance. She appeared gaunt
and jaundiced, and people were worried for her health. She
had gone so far as to say, I am healthy,

(17:09):
there is nothing wrong with me. So it seems like,
you know, any of her health struggles that she had,
she really didn't want to make it public and share,
you know that. But liver transplant, that's that's very intense.
It has a high risk of death. So it's just
it's very sad to see this happens to such a

(17:30):
great talent. But I got to say, my favorite performance
of hers of all time has to be euro Trip too.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
That's like that. That's a film that has thankfully become
such a big cult classic film. I remember watching that
in theaters and it gets like quoted so often. Fred
Armiston was one of his first movies, the films that
he was in, his creepy like subway train character, Excusy
Excusie and the whole thing of like the whole thing

(18:03):
where like there were Michelle's character and her brother character
were drunk and they started making out and afterwards, like
you kissed your sister. Are you made out with your sister?
Oh my god. So it's it's such a good, funny movie.
And yeah, just such a such a big shame. So
condolence is out to Michelle's family as well and her friends. Yeah,

(18:24):
because that's a tough one.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Now here's an insensitive question, James, and preface this was
saying it's insensitive what I'm about to say.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
We'll make it better, but sure, go for it. Yeah,
celebrities go in. Do you believe in that?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I mean, has it been wrong? Uh?

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean it's just statistically people die all the time,
and so you're bound to like and what's that grace period? Like,
is it the same week? Is it the same month,
the same two months? I think, Yeah, I don't know,
I'm not quite You can't help but think about with
that for sure because of the rule of three whole
you know, it's been so it's infamous, but not sure

(19:06):
if I necessarily believe it or encourage it to occur. Yeah,
next yeah, no one, hopefully no one. Hopefully everyone lives forever.
Let's see. Uh, speaking of living forever.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Okay, these transitions.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, there's no easy way to get out of this.
So We're just gonna jump, We're gonna leap off this
and leap into a discussion that Maya Hawk the daughter
of Ethan Hawk and Uma Thurman. You may know her
from Stranger Things. She's been in several other movies as
well and projects, but she came out recently on a podcast.
It is the Happy Said Confused podcast. And when I

(19:49):
first heard this, it was very i would say, initially surprising,
but then afterwards, I'm like, of course, of course this
is happening. Of course this is a thing. But Maya
Hawk says that in in some cases, an actor's social
media presence her following, plays a role in whether or
not a movie or a project will get Greenlitz. She

(20:13):
said that, yea. She said, if you have over a
certain number of followers on Instagram, you can get a
movie funded, adding that she knows several smart directors who've
had producers demand this benchmark number of followers from their
cast before moving forward with a project. Jamie, when you
first heard this again, I was initially surprised, but then immediately,

(20:35):
almost immediately afterwards, I was like, of course, of course
producers are demanding this.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
It blew my mind a little bit. So I knew
that this is a thing that they do in other
industries of media, like they do this in publishing, very
much like they won't go with a public with a
with an author or a new author unless they have
a certain kind of a following or they can prove
that they have, you know, a certain amount of followers.
But to hear that they're actually applying this to movies,

(21:06):
right and actually having a quota. The way that she
talked about it was like, okay, because she wanted to
get rid of one of her social media accounts, right,
they were telling her, okay, well, if you do that, though,
then you're down this many number of followers and we
have to make up for that with someone else that
we cast because we have to make this quota. That

(21:27):
part of it is what blew my mind, because I
get it. Look, I get it, Okay, you want the
movie to be successful, you.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Want I might a good movie.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
People who have already made audience. But but are you
short changing art? Are you short changing cinema by not
giving a chance to newer faces who might not have
been able to build that following yet, Like, do you
have to be savvy on the front end and not

(21:58):
everybody can do that, give us a chance, is what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I'm not gonna name there. I don't think it's fair either.
I'm not gonna name names. But there are certain social
media influencers who had no background or training and acting,
but they were given Netflix movies because they're massive influence
and the large number of followers they have. And if
you watch those movies or if you look at the

(22:24):
reviews and everything, they're not good. They're just like not good.
They don't have the it factor or the dedication or
the skill or the talent that people who go into
this field, this line of artistic expression, that they don't
have that, and so those movies struggle. You can tell
I think that. You know, if there's a casting director

(22:46):
and he has two actors for a role, and maybe
not be the main, main role, but a side character,
what have you? Because I'm sure Brad Pitty isn't worried
about followers or any other big, huge names, but if
he had like these two side characters, one is clearly
better than the second one, but the second one has

(23:08):
more followers. And these producers are allegedly going with or
would be more likely to cast the not so good
actor risking the entire movie not being as good as
it could as it could be. That's just a little
to no foresight for a thought at all. So how

(23:30):
about making a good movie with good story is good characterization,
and then that word of mouth spreads and then people
go and spend money on that instead of like, hey,
did you hear blank and blank? This crazy influencer is
gonna be in this movie and it sucks. No one
talks about it or remembers it. I don't know, call

(23:50):
me old fashion, call me old fashion, Jamie do it? Yeah,
So I don't know. I don't like this ount of
so no, let me, let me, let me, let me
ask our listeners, our viewers, what do you think about
this story? Like, what do you think about Mayah Hawk's saying,
you know, letting the cat out of the back. Now,
she doesn't mean. This does not apply across the board,

(24:13):
It doesn't apply to every film, and maybe the rule
or the strategy isn't applied, you know, all around. But
the fact that there are producers out there with this mindset,
what do you think about that? Do you think this
would help younger generations who are not inclined to go
to the movie theater, watch a film, or watch them

(24:33):
on streaming services, or you know, or are you are
you old fashioned like this dinosaur over here. It just
thinks that's a that's a horrendous idea.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, if you're a dinosaur, I'm in amivo.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well James James begins, but but but Okay, So someone
who did have a huge, huge, huge following, was a
social media.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Star, brought lots of social media star power to her roles,
even though the producers had no idea was Zendaia? Did
you know that when Zendaia auditioned for the role of
Michelle in the Spider Man movies? Gosh was it? Oh?

(25:23):
What's his name? One of the producers, No, one of
the Marvel producers, John fau Favreau, right, was sitting in
and they loved her. They're like, wow, you know, she
knocked her audition out of the park. They're like, she
is great, We've got to hire her. Who the hell
is she? They had no idea that she was already

(25:46):
like this, this star with this huge following and and
and and all of that. So I'm sure the casting
people knew. I'm sure that's why they brought her in.
But it was her talent that won her the role.
So I hope that that.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Continues because you know, Zendia has has been a Disney
star since like, yeah, she was ten years old. She
was in I think she was in Euphoria at the time, right,
was she not?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't I don't think she was in Euphoria yet
when they were let me ask.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
My smart one, when did Euphoria start?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Search? But Zindia continued her shooting star, you know, across
the universe of you know, filmmaking. She's been doing so
much lately. She's been in town. Two projects she's done
in Massachusetts in recent years. She's going to be in

(26:40):
a huge picture with with fiance Tom Holland and a
huge cast coming up as well.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Jamie, you're burying Jamie, you're burying the lead.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
I'm burying the lead. Wait no, no, no, I know
I'm burying the lead. I know. The people need to
know that it doesn't matter, right, Yeah, Christopher Nolan's the
Odyssey doesn't matter with the A list cast. Everything she's
ever done doesn't matter compared to what she is going

(27:12):
to be a part of.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Now, because what film is getting the green lights is
Shrek five. Dunt dun dunn about time. It's been like
fifteen years since the last Shrek movie. I think it
sounds crazy.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think I don't say that.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know what. Let me ask my smart watch,
roll you quick more time, Let's see Shrek. When did
Shrek Fore come out? Twenty ten? Fifteen years since the
last Shrek movie?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Ten was last year.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
There's not you're right, You're right, it was last year.
But yeah, that sounds insane. But that as insane as
as the news that India Zendeia has been announced to
be joining the cast as Shrek's daughter. She will be
joining returning cast members Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Murphy Samon Diez.
No word about Antonio Bendettis, however, reprising his role as

(28:09):
Puss and Boots, who I love because he's based off Zorro,
is one of the best fictional characters in history. But yeah,
isn't joining the Shrek family?

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Uh huh? I mean that's so cool? That is the Well, look,
it's cool, right, it's cool. But let me tell this
with this. Shrek four wasn't that great.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
No, Shrek three was barely okay?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, and Shrek two you.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Know, yeah, Shrek two is the Empire strikes back of
the Shrek franchise.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I don't know how much more Shrek we needed. That's
my only kind of hesitation here is this pumped for
the original clast and pump for Zendeia, But how how
do you feel about more Shrek?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Is this an attempt to r in jen z because
how they announced Zendea is is on the has joined
the Shrek franchise is with this like one minute little
feature video with the the mirror mirror on the wall.
I don't know if he has a name, the mirror
the face. Yeah, Shrek and Donkey come up and they're

(29:19):
like mirror mirror on the wall, who's the farist of
the mall? The mall? And then they start showing memes
like real life, real world, our world memes of Shrek.
And then like one of the Shrek is like a
BBSM Shrek. Another Shrek is like an abs buff Shrek.
And then that's where a z India's hip pops in,

(29:39):
like uh, and then that's when Fiona pops in saying hello,
and then Donkey is like or Shrek saying who's making
these like the memes? And then Pinocchio pops up and
he goes not me, and his nose like grows long,
and so like there is this is this Zendea move
in this introduction of the of the new movie, trying

(30:01):
to bring in the gen z. Maybe you think, maybe.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Maybe it's a whole new world. Man, it's a whole
a whole new world of communicating in fragments and whatnot.
I don't want to make myself sound old, but it's
a it's a new world and you need to adapt.
So that is what they are doing. And they have

(30:28):
to reintroduce Shrek. Right it's been fifteen years. There's a
whole generation that doesn't really know Shrek, doesn't really know
the franchise, Like.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
They only know the beams of Shrek.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, so they have their work creditt for to sort
of relaunch this ogre upon the world. And maybe we
need him. Maybe maybe the world needs Shrek right now.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I don't know what, but Shrek is love speaking of
a whole new world. Did you hear the controversy over
the slight tweaks to the design of Shrek, Donkey and Fiona.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
No no, I did not.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
If at first glance, it may be hard to miss
but keen eyed, supervision eyed fans on the internet, they say,
and I agree, I'm not turned off by it. I'm
not hating it. I'm not becoming a hater. But I'm
just saying it's out there that people are saying that
Shrek and Fiona and Donkey, their appearance has changed ever

(31:33):
so slightly. They've made Shrek's face not as wide as
he used to be. He's a little thinner, maya hair,
but you know, just enough where it's a little different.
The facial features, the lines, they're a little bit different.
Fiona's face looks a little bit different. The most drastic
one that looks different is Donkey. If you look at

(31:57):
twenty fifteen, twenty ten, twenty ten Donkey or before, he
looks a little cleaner, a little neater than this Donkey,
because this one looks a lot more scraggly, looks a
lot look looks like I'm not suref you're looking at
the pictures, but he's looking a little more stretch, scraggly,
and his hair isn't looking how it used to. I

(32:19):
don't know what they're doing, but there are slight tweaks
And the internet is on fire, which only means there's
gonna be more memes popping up about this, which will
help Billy buzz around this movie.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's all strategy, hew strategy, character design important. However, perhaps
they are just trying to show the passage of time.
Donkey is older, the Shrek and Fiona are older, although
she has what is with the creepy smile and look
on her face?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Right right?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
You know? Maybe, but listen, if people are upset enough
about it, they can get the studio to change it.
It's early enough. Guys want to full pitchfork and whatever
angry mob after.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Is it DreamWorks, it's Illumination. So the people who do
the minions, Oh yeah, I guess it's still dream Works.
But I think Illumination is doing the artwork. I could
be wrong by that, but yeah, let's sonic, fie. Let's
have a sonic campaign for Shrek five, which will definitely
be watching in the theaters when it comes out next year.

(33:36):
So I'm sure this is gonna be an instant classic.
So speaking of instant classics, or you know, they could
have been bad movies, but they are adored by yourself
and myself, nostalgic movies. And you said recently that you
watched something that brought you back to childhood, like the
wind was blowing past you and you felt the earth shaken,

(33:59):
twist and turn, and you were a child again. Is that?
Is that right? That's right exactly what.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Happened, just from a little bit of music, A little
bit of music leading into the opening of a movie.
I was having dinner at my in laws and they
had like the TV going downstairs and one of these
random movie channels, and I started hearing this song, and
I started hearing the sound of like baseballs hitting baseball

(34:26):
mits and and bats and whatnot. And I'm like, no,
I like, I know that, I know that, you know
how in the movie in the in the Barbie movie,
they were talking about Pruce Barbie having like that prucient
moment where like, yeah, like you said, transforms you, It
transports you directly into like your eight year old body again. Yeah,

(34:47):
I'm like, I know this, whatever this is, I absolutely
know it. I've watched it a hundred times, but I
forgot it existed. And I went running downstairs and it
was the movie Major League Hmmm, starring Charlie Sheen and
a bunch of other folks. And I'm like oh my God.

(35:09):
Like yeah, I was a child parked in front of
the TV watching this movie like over and over and
over again. I must have watched it over one hundred
times literally, and I remember every sound effect, every bit
of music, every line, And for somehow I forgot this
movie existed until now, Like I haven't thought about it

(35:32):
in decades. So that was just a trippy feeling. That
was a really trippy feeling, which and then I texted you.
I'm like, Janez, do you have any movies like this
that even just a little twinkle of a sound or
you know, a sound effect or a line like just
you know, sucks you back into your child body or
like homely crap, Like do you have anything like that

(35:52):
that's done that to you?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
The song that played in the sand lot during Fourth
of July America Sweet America, God shit your grace on
thee and the kids are playing baseball, but then they stop,
Like Benny hits a home run, it goes flying, but

(36:16):
all the kids get distracted and watch the fireworks as
he runs the bases and like that moment like I
could because I used to play t ball. I don't
want to break him, no athlete, but I played a
little bit of T ball back in the day and
that and we watched my sister and I watched The
sand Loot on VHS like repeatedly during that period because

(36:37):
we were like that was that's like us and uh.
And so when that song comes out or even the
dund dun dund dund dund dund dun da dunda dun
dun dund dun, that song also brings me back to
that movie where again I'm a kid again. I can
smell the grass, I can feel the dirt, I can
feel the ball and the grip of it and the

(36:59):
smell of the glove. So the Sandlot is one of
those movies that that brings me back for sure.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Didn't you want to be Benny the Jet Rodriguez?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Hell? Yeah, like I actually we got those those those
shoes that he that he switches out like as converse
right like he gets or they're not they're like the
All Star Converse or what or what not, forget the
exact brand. But he gets before approaching the beast to
get baby, to get baby Ruth's ball. Uh, he bro

(37:28):
Babe Ruth, the big the great Bambino baby that wimpy deer. No,
so when when he when he changes those shoes into
the new ones, and then you know he used that
to to go get the ball and run. I remember
like a friend of mine, uh, he got like shoes

(37:49):
just like that. And in my head, I'm like, oh,
you're gonna be able to run faster and jump higher
with those shoes just because of the sandlot. And so
whenever I see conference and stuff like, you know, that
reminds me of that scene in that movie as well too,
So that's a core. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I love how these are all like baseball related, Like, oh,
I just realize that, yeah, for Major League And you
ever watch Angels in the Outfield?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Of course I feel like that growing up in southern California.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah, of course, yeah, Angels in the Outfield that that
was a big one too that I feel like if.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Again also again like as a kid, you know, you
just you know, you wish movie moments would become real life.
And so I'm playing T ball in the outfield and
I'm like, what if an angel just lists me up
and I could catch this ball. It never happened. It
never happened. I wasn't I wasn't the best athlete, and
so I needed that. I needed I needed a miracle.
But yeah, that's just funny. Yeah yeah, a lot of

(38:41):
good baseball uh movies and the nostalgia bank.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah we were we were a big t ball movie.
Like we were a big t ball family. You know,
we were all in baseball and softball and uh whatnot.
The one other one, the one other one I'll mentioned
is the kid who breaks his arm and then his
arm is so tight that he can throw like one

(39:05):
hundred miles.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh yeah, like it cranks back, it goes like what
and then like he chucks it. Yeah, that one's that
one's the rookie.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
No is it? And then he goes into the major
league yeah, rowing gardener or something. And the guy and
the coach can never say his name. He calls him
a different thing every single time.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I'll look it up, but I'm looking up right now.
Just just stretch, stretch for me. Rookie of the year,
Rookie of the year, Yeah, rookie year.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Again, it's like airbud rules. It's like they're never there's
no rule that says a little kid can't throw a
ball in Major League baseball as airbud rules. That's great.
I know I wanted to die the could play basketball.
It never happened. Darn it. I'm sorry, darn it. Well,

(40:00):
you know what, speaking about nostalgic movies that bring us
back to our past, it is the twentieth Okay, I'm
gonna cry nostalgia. Oh my god, twentieth anniversary of Star
Wars Revenge of the Sith. Where has the time gone?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Jamie Goodness, haha, I remember, No, don't ask me, just
the corner here.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I know we're we're both gonna cry after this episode,
rafully so. But next month, well, by the time this
episode is posted, it will be next month. It will
be March, and the theaters will be showing Revenge of
the Sith. It'll be back in cinemas, and so you
can go watch it back in the big screen. But
the first time I watched it was at midnight showing

(40:43):
at the I believe the Harkins Movie Theater in Chino Hills, California,
and I went with my friend Tyler Prato. Shout out
to you, Tyler, because we went in and you know
all the buzz about like, of course this is the culmination,
is when Anakin turns to the side and everyone knows
he's gonna fight Obi Wan Kenobi and like, oh my god,

(41:04):
and like, what's gonna happen, you know, meaning is he
gonna ring to see Darth Vader. A lot of stuff
in the air, but one thing that we were told
was that there would be I think they said seven
or eight minutes of lightsaber fighting between Anakin and Obi
Wan Kenobe. So like, dang, that's a that's a badass
lightsaber fight for seven or eight minutes. And so right

(41:24):
when that scene happened, my friend Tyler and I were
sitting down again midnight showing packed pack movie theater, people
wearing Jedi robes and with lightsabers and whatnot. And as
soon as like the when they go to Mustafar and
then OPI one, Kenobe comes out and he's like, Anakin's like,
you turned you against me? You've done that yourself, and
then if you're not with me, you are against me,

(41:46):
and then the lightsabers ignite. My friend goes, he looks
over to me and goes, get ready for seven minutes
of lightsaber fighting and I'm like yeah. And so of
course in the in the movie it's broken up with
scenes in between. But I think if you go back
and they may culminate to seven or eight minutes. It
was like a Thursday showing Thursday Night midnight. So the

(42:09):
next morning we had school. This is my freshman year
of high school, and so the next morning we had
like maybe three or four hours of sleep, but we
go in. We shared we were in the drama theater
class together, and so we go in still hyped in
jazz over what we just experienced. And we're in there
and we're like, oh my god, we saw the time
of the whole class. We saw Star Wars Revenge of
the Sith, and the lightsaber fight was amazing. And then

(42:32):
we recreated the lightsaber fight on the stage. We had
a stage inside of the classroom and the drama class
and we're going back and forth like going, you know,
waving imaginary lightsabers. And so that's like a core memory
of mine of like watching that midnight with one of
my greatest friends of high school and then recreating that
that fight scene hours later in front of our classmates.

(42:54):
And so that was a that was a good spot,
a good time for James.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
What about yourself, beautiful memory, Thank you for sharing us great.
I don't remember the circumstances of me going to see
this movie. Sadly, I feel like I saw it with
my aunt with BCI, but I may have gone to
go see it on my own. Two gosh, this was

(43:21):
what two thousand and.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Five, two thousand and five, two thousand and five.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
So I was a freshman in college. I had my
first boyfriend, and he was a jerk and he didn't
like any of this nerdy stuff. So I feel like
I probably went by myself, or if he was there,
like maybe he like dampened the excitement. The only thing
I remember, look, I remember that it was really great.
I really loved it. I thought it was the best

(43:47):
prequel movie up until that point, and I was totally invested.
And the lightsaber fight at the end was so epic
and beautifully done, and I love you and I love
hate and it was just it was perfect, perfect, perfect,
perfect until no. No, until the very very end when

(44:09):
they unveil Vader for the first time and and Palpatine
tells him you killed her, and he goes and he
steps out, he looks up at the camera all like corny,
and he goes no. I was screaming no in my

(44:29):
heart because it was so corny and crappy, and I
hated it, and it ruined the whole movie for me. Well,
I tried not to let it ruin the whole movie
for me.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, you forget that, but.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I hated that. I hated it, so I just tried
to pretend like that part didn't exist. The rest of
it was was really phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
And yeah, I think I think my theater laughs at
that moment rightfully. So, so if they would have rearranged that, So,
you know, Palpatine rescues Anakin and then they fly off,
and then you follow through with you know, uh obi
wan kenobi uh dropping off the twins, separating Luke and Lea.

(45:11):
After after Padam may give his birth and passes away,
and then you have that and then they kind of separate,
and then at the end you have you show Anakin
burnt up, burnt burnt to a crisp like a little
fry in the air fryer that's been left in there
for way too long. So as he's there, and then
they do all the robotics and the enhancements, and then

(45:32):
when the mask comes down and then it clips on,
then you hear the you hear that that's when that's
when it should end. That's when it should end. Or
you know, you could yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Go ahead or no, if you're going to be distraught
over like killing your wife, like freaking cry and wheeze
in the mask, like you know, like don't move the corner,
horny stuff.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
But yes, you can even show him like yeah, like yeah,
being told you killed Padame or whatever. And then the crushing,
which we did see the crushing of all the gear
and the robots in the room and then show that
but like but again even that, I'm just in my
head like just that that just he's still lying down
on the table and the mask comes down and you see,

(46:18):
you know the mask, you know, the outside, the beautiful mask,
just like boom, and then the breathing, and then you
could pop back to Obi wan on Tattoo and then
you have like the sunset, the star the Sun's sunset,
and then editing. Yeah, yeah, but other than that, other
than that, it was it was definitely the best film

(46:40):
of that pre trilogy. And yeah, and again I was
like fourteen fifteen years old at that time, and it
was just perfect. This is the perfect theater experience and
a great follow up afterwards too.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
I'm so glad you have that, like such a clear
memory of like all of the circumstances around it, because
that is a beautiful experience. How do you feel that
it's twenty years later?

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Oh my god, I know it's insane. It is insane.
I can't comprehend time anymore. Like it's it's.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, it doesn't make sense anymore, you know what? Yeah,
from that that it has stayed with me for all times.
You must always have.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
The high ground, Always have the high ground. Yes, I
always have the I's ants or butts are about it? No, brother, Well,
let us know those watching those listening, what was your
Revenge of the Sith experience like? And I know the
opinions and thoughts the retrospection of the of the prequel

(47:47):
have changed evolved over time. Did you love it then?
Do you hate it now? Or did you hate it
then and love and now? Are you the same? Let
us know? Comment down below and again if you remember
that first time, first time theater experience watching it, share
it because I love hearing and reading those stories. Jamie one,

(48:07):
you know, speaking about perfect, nearly perfect trilogies, I'm not
saying the prequels are nearly perfect, but I'll say the
original trilogy is Star Wars, but in the running for
potentially the best trilogy of all time. Paddington. Lord knows,
I love my Paddington. Paddington one great movie. Paddington two

(48:28):
is the Empire strikes Back of the Paddington trilogy, just
like Shrek two is the Empire strikes back of the
Shrek quadrology going to be the Quintuplets doology Paddington in Peru.
It just came out. I didn't just come out. It
came out in England back in November, like three months ago,

(48:48):
and it just made it to the States. Yeah, they
always come out early over there, but it came out.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
To the States across the ocean, like what.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Was I know, I don't know what they do. They
in submarine or in a marmalade jar that they hope
they throw into the water and they hope it gives
just travels to the States. But it has arrived in
our movie theaters and I saw it last night, and
I'll give a non spoiler review. I'll try to keep
this concise, but overall thoughts, I really enjoyed it. I

(49:18):
think it had a lot of really good moments. I
would definitely say it is the weakest Paddington in the trilogy,
though it's still a good, fun movie that I enjoyed.
I did not expect it to be better than Paddington too,
because Paddington two is a masterpiece, so my expectations were

(49:40):
not that high, and because they were not that high,
I left the movie theater knowing that you know, they did.
They gave it a good shot and it's a good
way to wrap up the Paddington story if they no
longer come out with more. But this is directed by
Dougal Wilson, starring Ben Wishaw as Paddington, Emily Mortimer as

(50:01):
Mary Brown, Hugh Bonneville as Henry Brown, and Madeline Harris,
and Samuel Jocelyn as Judy and Jonathan Brown, introducing Antonio
Bendettis as Hunter Cabot and Carla Tooss I think I'm
pronouncing that correctly as Gina Tabbot, his daughter, and Olivia
Coleman as Reverend Mother. The story, Paddington returns to Peru

(50:26):
to visit his beloved aunt Lucy at the Home for
Retired Bears, but he finds out on Lucy has gone
missing and it's up to Paddington and the Brown Family
to find her. Jamie, I know you said you were
going to try to watch this last night you weren't
able to. But how high on your must see list
was this film?

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Oh? It was pretty up there. So like I said,
like I've said before, I take my kids to the
movies every Tuesday because we're the AMC you know a
listeners or whatever on Tuesdays to get discounted movies, and
that's when I take them. So I think, does he's
gonna love it? Were you able to take your daughter?

Speaker 1 (51:05):
No? No, I dare not take my daughter til she's
like at least four years old, five years old.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
You enjoyed it for her?

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yes, yes, I'm gonna after this podcast, I'm going to
put her in front of the laptop and then let
her watch this portion just so she knows how good
the movie is. So just so she gets an idea
and she wants to watch it. So she's going to
learn about it through this podcast through the Hub on Hollywood,
which you should subscribe to and follow anywhere you get
your podcast. But like I said, overall a good film.

(51:37):
I think the plot of this film is really good.
Paddington and the Brown family on a rescue mission in
the Amazon rainforest with shady characters hoping to use Paddington
to help find this lost treasure. So you know, you
have this rescue mission and you have this treasure that
needs to be found. I did enjoy the new setting

(51:57):
of this being in Peru. You're you know, this movie
is taking place in a much different place than London,
completely polar opposite, so that was fun. Though I will
admit I do miss some of the London aesthetics the
feel of the first two movies. But this was a
nice change because you know, we complain often of like, oh,

(52:18):
the sequels are just similar or repeats so the first movies,
so I appreciate that they went with it in a
totally new direction, new setting. I love that choice. Peru,
the jungle. The set, costume designs looked great, just as
good on the same level as Paddington One and Paddington two.

(52:38):
When it comes to the colors, to the to the
set designs, to the natural you know, settings and places
where they shot beautiful, So no complaints there. Olivia Coleman,
she plays Reverend Mother. One of the bigger highlights of
the film. She is chewing up every scene she's in
you can tell how much fun she's having in this

(53:00):
whether she's being sneaky, suspicious, or having a song and
dance number. She was fantastic. Plenty of laughs, I would
say throughout this film a number of times where I'm smiling,
laughing out loud. So plenty of humor for kids and adults.
Antonio Bendettas, as I mentioned, he plays an Amazon riverboat
captain along with his daughter. However, he has ulterior motives.

(53:23):
Now this is a non spoiler review, but I think
I think the trailer kind of gives away that, you know,
you know, some of these characters are kind of shady,
you gotta watch your back. His daughter's also big part
of the crew or part of the cruise. It was
like a two man daughter daughter father crew, you know,
boat tourism kind of thing they have going on. She's
trying to rebuild her relationships, so that part was fun. Jamie, However,

(53:47):
can't ignore some of the the cons of this film,
some things that if they were a little bit different,
would have made this movie even more enjoyable. You heard
about the who mom recasting thing?

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Right or no, Yeah, you've talked about that before, right,
so it's a new actress. Was it that much of
a difference.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
I'm afraid to say yes. I'm not saying Emily Mortimer,
who replaced Sally Hawkins, did not do a good job.
It's just that I miss Sally Hawkins. She is Missus
Brown the Mom, and like her personality, her little mannerisms
and just her big smile and personality. I definitely missed it.

(54:33):
She unfortunately cannot film Pattinson three because as I mentioned,
they were literally in Peru and she couldn't travel because
of an illness unfortunately, and so Emily Mortimer stepped in.
She did well, but again I just couldn't help him
miss Sally Hawkins original version of the Mom. Another part
I felt the family wasn't as utilized as well as

(54:56):
in the previous films when it came when it comes
to like setting up things that they're into. You know,
they do do that, but it didn't feel as as
fleshed out in previous films. And so the family were
all there, they didn't all equally do things, as you know,
compared to the previous films when it came to you know,
helping the story move along or helping the mission. Though again,

(55:18):
they're they're doing They're fun to watch, the biggest gripe. However,
unfortunately I hate to say this, Jamie Antonio bendettis Oh no,
he I know he's he's having a great time filming
this movie. You can tell he's enjoying playing this sneaky

(55:39):
riverbow captain, as well as playing a variety of other
characters which I won't reveal immediately, but I do say
that he may have been miscast. And again, without going
into spoilers, I know and again he's having a great time,
but he's doing he's doing the best that he can. However,
I cann't help but feel like maybe there was another
actor who could have given a little more. I don't know,

(56:05):
could have been more convincing, who could have carried the character. Again,
the characters traits are are good. The story, the plot,
the motives I'm all on board for. I'm just not
quite sure if Antonio Bendett's was the right person. And
I kept thinking who could have been and who bought
them my head and ironically was Pedro Pascal. I think
Pedro Pascal would have done a great job as as

(56:28):
as the riverboat captain or it could have been too
meta for the film, just because, as we know in
the movie, the unbelievable weight of massive talent. He plays
a character who loves Paddington too, so that could have
been a conflict of interest for moviegoers like myself. Again,
Antonio bendettas he's having a great time, and you know,

(56:49):
I think he's giving as much efforts as Hugh Grant
did in Paddington two, which I appreciate. But I don't know.
I just I'm not sure if it quite works. So only.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I know.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
But Olivia Coleman, she plays another shady character. She's fantastic
in this film. Mister Brown, the actor who plays mister Brown,
he's great in this film. He got several big laughs
for myself. You know Pattinson, you know, nothing needs to
be said about Pattinson. He's perfect. So you know, that
character development on Lucy, that whole development, and the way

(57:22):
this movie ended, I think it's a great way to again,
if this is the last movie, great way to put
a bow on the story of these characters. There wasn't
as much emotional tugging that I felt in parts one
and two, especially in part two, though it does go
in that direction, and you do feel like, you know,

(57:42):
kind of a little a little moment of welling, but
then you know, it just doesn't punch as hard as
the previous movies. I don't need that, I guess, you know, apparently,
I don't know if. I don't know if I was
leaning to cry in this movie, but but it just
wasn't there. But again, I'm not trying to this movie.
It's a fun movie. I think families, kids, parents will

(58:04):
enjoy it. Plenty of laugh out loud moments. It looks beautiful,
The story itself is solid, I think. So don't take
any of the cons and little issues that I had
from preventing you to watching this movie from supporting this movie.
So Jamie, I still recommend, highly recommend you watch this film,
uh with with your children, and I don't think, I

(58:25):
don't think you leave disappointed.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Wonderful. I love to hear it. The world needs more
perfect trilogies, right or close to perfect trilogy.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
This is a solid trilogy again, like even Star Wars.
Like again Star Wars, people say the Return of the
Jedi is the weakest of the of the three, but
entirely it's a great trilogy for for the Lord of
the rings films, you know some of them. You know,
they're all great, they're all really good, but some prefer
you know, some would say one, two or three is

(58:57):
the weaker one of the other ones. So again, thing's perfect.
But you can still have a great trilogy. And I
would still say this is a great trilogy. I'll put
that in the hallmark in the hall of theme on
the wall.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
So maybe here's a question that our audience can answer.
Besides are you gonna go see Paddington? What is the
most perfect movie trilogy ever? That's that's that's my question.
Maybe we can percolate on that and talk about it
next week, but yeah, what is the most perfect trilogy ever?

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Apparently Paddington high in the running, absolutely, So let us
know if you've seen Paddington, let us know down below.
Am I wrong? Are you right? Are you right? Am
I wrong? Yeah? Just below you've seen it, and let
us know what you think. Again, not bad mouthing, excuse me,
or bashing Paddington at all, but yeah, those are my thoughts,

(59:51):
non spoiler review. Maybe we'll go into a spoiler if
you eventually see it, Jamie, because I do have yeah,
I do have a lot of thoughts on this film.
All right, yeah, I'm going to try to get there
with my wife last night about this and so yeah, yeah,
