Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast I'm Your
co host James Rojas and.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The other co host Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
On this week's episode, Ryan Coogler Sinners is out for
Blood Award season Blood. They will take no prisoners. I
hope that's a rap for Marble's Doomsday Avengers film walk.
Don't run to watch Stephen King's latest film adaptation, The
Long Walk. More filming projects in New England, new one
(00:37):
piece promos that are teasing an epic season. I'm hoping.
I'm sure that much much more as well on this
week's episode. But Jamie, there's one thing I can't shake
off because I officially have bad blood.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh boy with wow.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
The one the only Taylor Swift specifically you know her swifties,
okay of swifty fans, her army, her army, what.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Why would you have that glove?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Are you? Are you a swiftyan? Do you do you wait?
Do you long for the new albums to come out?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm at that level swifty, but I love her.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I love her music.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm not like up to date, but definitely love and
appreciation all the way around here for taite.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What is what? What? What has gotten you? What's what's up?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I too, you know, I'm kind of indifferent. I
know she has a lot of good songs, and I
never keep up with the news other than Kelsey Travis Kelcey,
but that's just because it's related to football. But I
learned that she's coming out with a new album called
it Party of a Showgirl. And the reason why I
learned that is because it inconvenies, because it was very
(01:49):
and I learned it in a very inconvenient way. So
I we're going to review The Long Walk, and so
I was like, you know, let me let me watch
the film. I heard really good buzz about it, so
I went, I'm an A List AMC stub Hub member,
So of course I pull out my phone, hit the
app and I started picking my movie, picking my seats
and I pick Okay, this is where I want to
(02:11):
sit and there I go to continue to the next
page and it shows, okay, purchase this ticket for fifteen bucks,
and I'm like, WHOA wait a minute, Clearly I must
have I must have deactivated the A List ticket little
toggle thing there because it's telling me to pay for
something and I'm like, and I'm signed in this is
it's confusing me. So I'm like, what the Heck's going on?
(02:33):
I back out do it again. It's telling me fifteen
dollars pay with Google pay or cash or card whatever,
not cash but card. And I'm like, okay, this is weird.
The system must be down or broken. So I go
to go to the trustee laptop, I log into AMC
and it takes me to a loading page, a loading page,
a Q page. I had to wait on this Q
(02:56):
page four for a minute, maybe two minutes and again,
and it's as Taylor Swift's new album coming to theaters,
and I'm like, did I click the wrong button? I
didn't mean to click on a Taylor Swift thing. So
I go back out click on the MAINAMC dot com page.
Takes me back to the que line and I'm like,
what is going on? And so I go on there.
I'm logged into my stuff ub account, pick my seat,
(03:17):
go through the process, and it says, hey, fifteen bucks
for this ticket. I'm like, this is this is wrong.
Something must be wrong. And I see there's a notification
saying your A list rewards isn't working or isn't available
at this time.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh my, I'm like it needed all of the power.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It needed all the computing processing power to handle the
Swifties who were logging in during that time. So I call,
I call amc.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I'm not sure if you guys have noticed this, but
there's an A List situation. I'm trying to buy a
ticket and it's telling me to purchase and there's a
warning sign about it being unavailable, and the person on
the phone, the manager, says, oh, yeah, we had a
team meeting and we were told that there's this issue.
All these A listers they're getting disrupted by the Swifties
(04:03):
who've overtaken the website. Yeah, and so they said, don't worry,
just come on in and then go to the front
kiosko what have you, And then just show us your
StubHub account. You remember, they can scan it to go
fish like an animal, like an animal, and they get Yeah,
they gave me a printed ticket, a printed ticket like
(04:23):
a like a commoner. I'm an A List member. What
the hell? And so unfortunately, you know, I was able
to get my seat and everything worked out well. But
that's how I learned that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
That, you know, party of a show girl.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. Have you ever been inconvenience by Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I have not. I've only been convenienced too, Oh my goodness,
I have only been delightfully happy every time that I've
heard mention of her name or her music.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, I have never I but I suppose I can empathize.
I'm sorry that you had to go, like it's like
twenty years in the past. Person to go purchase a
ticket and.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I'll give her a pass on this. Don't don't let
this happen again. Taylor or Swifties out there. I'm not
afraid of you. I know you guys. You guys go
after people. Yeah, do you really.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Want the Swifties after us? Here on the look, I
sissed off the state.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Of Hamshire and that theme of thing like if you
piss off the Swifties.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
As long as you guys comment down below and play
with the algorithm. I don't mind the extra traffic on
our videos.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
This is all him. Don't blame me, right, I love
tay Tale all the way.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Exactly did you watch the last Taylor Swift concert when
it came to movie theaters and everyone was singing and
dancing and crying and all that.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Stuff like crying. But yeah, it was great, It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I love that she does that because have you
ever tried to get one of these tickets in person?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah? Because, yeah, you know why possible because the Swifties,
the Swifties. The average fan can't get a ticket because
of Swifties.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I love this. She does that And just like Hamilton.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Remember during the COVID when Hamilton was put on the
streaming services on Disney Plus, was it for everyone to
watch for free?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So I appreciate it when.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Artists do that for us plebeians who can't afford to
go to the actual concerts either in person. I think
it's just a really nice touch for everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious if anybody listening or watching us
had the same trouble. I went on AMC just for like,
just for the hell of it, just to check in
see the state of the website, and the same thing.
I can log in right here. This is exactly what
I saw, Jamie. Let's see so AMC so again, this
is the main AMC whatever right right, And then you
get you are in line to access to AMC theaters
(06:49):
less than a minute. Yeah, thank you for your patience
for experience high traffic volume. Yeah, you will have to.
You have ten minutes to begin your Taylor Swift purchase online.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well here's here's another thing that you would need to consider. Okay,
AMC's making money. Yes, that means that movie theaters will
stay right. This is the kind of thing that helps
buoie theaters. So maybe AMC is the only one kind
of doing this right now with Tata and that's great.
Maybe Cinemark has a deal with someone else, you know,
(07:21):
it helps support the theaters.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Other other thing, gosh, okay, I'm sorry, swifties, I don't
know the lore.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Let them have as.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Much as I should.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
No, not letting them.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Have in a positive way us out get them.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is positive.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But this is why I admire her so much.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Didn't she make a deal like to go directly to
AMC and and release I.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Think for that concert yet.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Instead of like going through a production studio a great
you know, like a greater release, like, she made a
deal directly with AMC and it highly benefited her. And
I just think that she's a brilliant business woman and
I have nothing but respect for her and whatever helps
keep the theaters open. Hey, I'm there for it, so
(08:12):
you you know that's what therapy is.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, I will let this pass, I will let this slide.
I will shake it off this one time, Taylor Swift.
But if you again listening or watching, experienced this this
past week, coming down below, and what did you see,
leive us a little review of what you saw again.
I saw the long Walk, which we will get into later.
But what we are getting into now, yes, in the
(08:36):
here and now is local filming, local projects happening in
Massachusetts and New England. That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We've talked about this in the last couple of episodes.
We have so many projects filming right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We are doing better than Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Hollywood's done a big slump with productions, even though they
just passed a big package of like incentives and things
kind of bring movies back to Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But we are doing so so well right now here
in New England.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Ton of projects filming or that have recently wrapped. And
now we've got a new one coming in October for
a short period of time, but still very happy to
hear it. Boston Casting handling this one Love of your Life.
It's called project called Love of your life. So I
(09:27):
can imagine that's probably a romantic comedy or something like that.
If you are interested in background work on that, Bostoncasting
dot com is where it's at. Also looking for tons
of background right now, also being done through Boston Casting.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Cheese Steak, Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Wahlberg, Mockey Mac filming everywhere right now, and they need
tons of background, not.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Only adults, but kids too.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's a movie about a father and his autistic son,
so lots of scenes with lots of background. I'm talking thousands, thousands, thousands,
tons of opportunities to get on this film right now.
So that's Cheese Steak, You've got Dead City filming.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Also Super Troopers three.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
When they ask for thousands of extras, usually is that
usually for like a festival scene or like a beach scene, or.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Throughout the production entirely. But yeah, there's there's school scenes,
mall scenes, outdoor thing.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You did a mall scene I did in Spirited Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Ryan will Ferrell, and my son got to be a
kid in the Santa line there in that part of
the movie. I was also a background in the Good Afternoon,
Good Afternoons. Spent a whole week filming that in downtown Boston,
which was amazing. So yeah, that's why people should watch
(10:53):
us here on Hollywood because not only do we bring
you reviews, not only do we let you know the news,
we want to get you on the film set hanging
out with these big stars in the movies and TVs
that shows that get shot here in New England. So
they should like subscribe, maybe, I think so. I think so.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And you know what, if you are not interested in
being in front of the camera, either on the big
screen or a small screen, but you know somebody, if
your son, your daughter, your brother, sister, mother, father, grandma, grandpa,
neighbor down the street, share the help on Hollywood with
them because maybe they want that one break, they want
that one little chance to shine in the spotlight. However,
(11:34):
you know, deep in the background they are yeah, or
maybe they're cars or their cars exactly. Cars are big
thing for cars.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They're looking for pets sometimes too.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Cee little babies. Do you have a cue little baby
out there?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And they're looking for characters. I mean, it's amazing the
opportunities that are there. So we recommend that you sign
up with all of the local casting agencies look out
for those emails and look out for those opportunities. Kendall
Cooper Casting is handling Dead City right now and they're
actually looking for a bunch of principal actors throughout this season.
(12:08):
So that's a great way to get both in the
background and the foreground and you know, the ground, ground.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And every ground.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, do remember stay grounded. Don't let it get to
your head, don't let it go there. All right, Yeah,
but you know where we are going. We're gonna go there.
We're going there. We're going to the next big Marvel project.
Marvel's Avengers Doomsday officially wrapped. Yeah, all right. Crew members
confirmed it. This is the one, of course where our
(12:37):
DJ Robert Downey Junior, our boy has come out of
Marvel retirement to play doctor Doom.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right yeah, not Tony Starr.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Not Tony Stark. So the team, the crew members, they
shared a picture of them like showing their their crew jackets,
their set jackets. Awesome, and so they showed the last
day that they wrapped, and the producers, the directors and
every buddy, the higher ups. They sent out this following
message to the cast and crew saying, thank you for
incredible work that you've done to bring Avengers Doomsday to life.
(13:08):
This achievement is possible only because of your unmatched talents, dedication,
and expertise. This movie really looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yes, we know when we're getting it?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, got no, I think so. Now the official wrapping
of it, the shooting of it has wrapped. Now you have, like,
I don't know, six months at least of visual effects
and editing and all that stuff. Is that the usual
as far as you know, Yes, visual.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Period year or longer, depending on what the visuals are.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Let me let me see if they do have a
release date. But hopefully this is one of those movies
that brings Marvel back.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
That's what they're hoping, and they're putting a lot of
effort into this. They're taking risks for sure, bringing Artie
j back as a completely different character. Very interesting. So
December eighteenth, twenty twenty six, a little over a year
or we can expect this one. I appreciate that they
(14:03):
have a specific release date. You know what doesn't have
a release date even though it's supposed to release soon.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What One Piece?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
One Piece?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
One Piece Live Action on Netflix Season one was a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Everyone loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I think universally accepted as one of the best, if
not the best, live action adaptations of an anime ever
high expectations.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Filming has been wrapped for a while.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
They will be releasing in twenty twenty six, is what
they've announced, but still no release date.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, did you hear they changed the name for the
second season? Oh my god, what it's called? One Piece?
Too furious?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I am going to punch you?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh no, no? Now is this kidding?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
These promos that they're releasing, is it like a like
a like a I don't know, a love hate kind
of a situation, because you love to see the promos,
but you hate that they haven't released a date.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, that is exactly it. Y I am.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm loving everything that they have given us. We already
saw Chopper before. Now we got a first trailer, and
now just in the last week, we've got new promotional material,
some background you know, behind the scenes sort of footage,
some more shots from the show itself, the characters, the
actors talking about what to expect in the next season.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Right, these characters are coming.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Together, they're a crew now, they're relying on each other.
It's going to be really special, really exciting. Lots of
big special effects.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But when, but when?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
So the speculation was that based on when they wrapped
up filming, that we would have it like early twenty
twenty six, January February maybe at the latest.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Maybe please no longer later than that.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
However, if we were approaching an early twenty twenty six release,
we're already in September of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Don't you think that they would have a release date?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
What if they do like a secret like drop these
just drop it on one Wednesday night, Like here it is,
I enjoy feast.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But I'm about to go like all gung gung gatling
on the on Netflix over here, waiting with baited breath
for when I can expect this to finally drop. I'm
loving everything I'm seeing in the promotional materials. I just
need to know when I can hang my hopes upon.
What is that date that you know that we can
strive towards. But here's my speculation. Here's where I think
(16:28):
we don't have a date.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You speculate special effects.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
The special effects in this season are going to be huge, tremendous,
very ambitious undertaking, because not only are we going to
have dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs in the ocean, ocean dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, okay, that makes sense from island, okaysen.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Know anything about one piece of stew Sorry everyone.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I do know that that the one that Chopper character says,
get to the Choppa caphrase?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right, And I think, so, okay, yeah, no, you're right,
But I was gonna speaking of Chopper. They also have
a fully cgi main character is Chopper.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Voiced by the same voice actor in the series and animated.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, no different voice actress, very, very beautiful woman and
great actor who voices Chopper. I am forgetting her name
right now, and I'm a terrible person for that. James
is going to look it up right now. He's on
this breaking news.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But from the release from the MICHAELA there we go. Yeah, MICHAELA. Hoover.
She does a lot of voice acting.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh, I think she's in Peacemaker. Isn't she a Peacemaker?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I think?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Or she's in Superman.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
She was in Superman, right, she played one of them?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Oh she played this you know what this the blonde?
I guess you played in the Superman She plays a
character with bleach blonde hair. I kept like thinking, is
that s brainda Carpenter. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
She looks like super Car.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, especially in the movie. Yeah, but Mikaela Hoover.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Okay, she's a wonderful actress, very very beautiful, and she
does the voice for.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Chopper Chopper Hoover. Any connection, No.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
No, okay, actually one in the same.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So I just I can't wait, I can't wait. And yeah,
I'm getting antsy in my.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Pants Nancy and your pantsy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm just kidding. I'm just I don't know who to
take out my anxiety.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm like, who do I.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Take it out on the Swifties? Take it out on
the Swifties. We're coming after you, the Swifties. You're right, sorry, sorry,
Oh my god, for a second, I don't want to
have to hire star.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
On Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He's just joking, just joking. This is a mess. Yeah,
just keep watching our videos and like and subscribe. Oh man, yeah,
I will, I will declare it. I will give an
official apology if all the Swifties I can subscribe to
the help on Hollywood. All right, apology is coming right around
the corner. But what else is coming right around the corner?
(19:07):
Anything else you want to add and needs no apology
and needs no apologies. Sinners is competing. It is going
for gold at the Golden Globes. I did not plan that.
That's perfect. Yeah, so Sinners one of my think my favorite,
if not my second or first favorite movie of last year.
Fantastic Are you on this year? Didn't it? Yeah? Of
(19:28):
course it is competing this year. It came out in
like January February, so long ago, but the memory still
sticks in my mind. Here is gone by my god
this year. Don't get me started on this year. But
Sinners Warner Brothers has confirmed that to Golden Derby Now,
Ryan Coogler's horror period piece will campaign for Best Film
(19:48):
Drama category in this year's Golden Globe Award ceremony. Michael B.
Jordan will be eligible for the Best Film Drama Actor
he plays of course twin Brothers Smoke and Stack does
get two awards for that. I think he should, and
the rest of the ensemble will compete for Best Films
Supporting Actor and Best Film Supporting Actress. I'm really looking
(20:10):
forward to this. I think when I said, when this
movie came out and we can rewind or you go
rewind watch that episode where I reviewed it. This deserves
all the awards, such a great film such It's on
HBO Max right now, and my wife and I are
trying to figure out schedule our schedules to watch this
three hour film.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Michael B. Jordan can anyone?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No one has deserved an award more I think than
Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, Smoke and Stack. Not only
did he play two characters but convincingly gave them very
distinct personalities that made them feel like two very separate people,
interacting with himself in scenes and just doing such a
(20:55):
phenomenal job at that. I don't know who could possibly
top him or who deserves too. I don't think anyone does.
So if this doesn't go to Michael B. Jordan, we
burn that.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We rit we will, we will, we will burn down
the barn, just like in Sinners. Just like in Sinners.
So go and then dance and do a little do
a little Irish jig. It'll be fantastic. What else is
fantastic is you know, nostalgia. Who doesn't love nostalgia? And
if you go back to a long time ago, to
(21:25):
last week, from last week's episode of the Help on Hollywood,
Man good Times last week was during that episode we
talked about Bring It On hitting its twenty fifth year anniversary.
La la, my goodness, my goodness. Well to remember that
we don't have to. But coincidentally, we have more Bring
it On news. So Alamo Draft House, those those angels
(21:49):
who take no guff from people talking or texting in
movie theaters, they are hosting this weekend the twenty fifth
anniversary screening of Bringing On, followed by a live virtual
Q and A with the cast and director. This is
here here in Boston, so they're screening it in Boston.
If you're watching this, it's already happened. But isn't that
cool that it did? And so they're they're doing a screening,
(22:13):
but they're doing a virtual Q and A with Kirsen
Dunst and Jesse Bradford as well as the director, Peyton Reid.
That would have been so cool if they were able
to be here in person. Maybe they're filming, maybe they're
doing other stuff, but but you know, it's it's better
than nothing. So if you are a fan of Bring
It On, put that put that DVD back into into
(22:33):
your PlayStation or Xbox and watch that film.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's already been brought.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's already been brought. And I love that film. I
think it holds up. I tell my wife it holds up.
It holds up. Yeah, let's see. You know what. I
think we'll also hold up. What this latest Stephen King
novel to movie adaptation, The Long Walk.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I feel like every week we're talking about is Stephen
King adaptation.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's weird. It's either Stephen King or bring it on.
It's always those two.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But he's such a prolific writer. Yeah, and such an
incredible writer from Maine.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Right, So Stephen King, this is The Long Walk?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He watched it? What is this one about?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So? Have you seen the trailer for this?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's a really fun I've never read the book, and
I'm always debating whether to read the book before watching
the film, or watch the film and then read the book.
This one I have no time to read anymore. So
I was like, you know, I can knock this out
in under two hours. This is an hour and fifty
minutes long, that's with credits, but directed by Francis Lawrence,
written by Stephen King and JT. Molnard. Stephen King had
(23:37):
really had a lot of control on this film. There
have been a lot of film adaptations where they like
they just adapted from the book and he doesn't have
much say much direction, but apparently hit a lot of
say in this film, and I think it shows. The
movie starring Cooper Hoffman, the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Something I just learned like this past twoday is Cooper Hoffman.
(24:01):
David Johnson, a rising star. David Johnson from Alien Romulus.
I was gushing over his performance and that film when
we reviewed it. Garrett Waring and none other than Mark
Hamiell star in this film. The story is about a
group of teenage boys or young men competing in an
annual contest known as the Long Walk, in which they
(24:22):
must maintain a certain walking speed or get shawn and killed.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So is this like Blade Runner?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
This is like a dystopian near future kind of film
where there was a civil war in America and at
the end of it or you know, I take this back,
whether it's either a civil war or a Great World war,
but at the end of it, in its aftermath, America's
economy completely decimated. And so the premise of this Long
(24:52):
Walk competition is to get one individual, one person, one
young man from each state fifty contestines and to boost
nation morale, the winner, the winner of this long walk
wins like a bajillion dollars and they get like a
last wish or a final like a big wish. Whatever
(25:13):
they wish for they get. And so they say no
to boost the economy, to boost morale, each state will
will be drawn from a lottery in an individual and
they'll compete. And as long as you maintain a speed,
a walking speed of three miles per hour, which is
like a brisk walk, which is like a you know,
not a crazy walk, but like a steady walk. If
(25:34):
you do that and outwalk everybody else, there's no finish line,
then you win. If you not get to sleep, they
do not get to sleep, So you got. You don't
get to sleep, you don't get to drink water. You
get they give you like some rations. They get to eat,
like little tubes of nutrients and whatnot. You can't stop
to use the restroom, which plays a pivotal role in
this film multiple times. Okay, yeah, think about that for
(25:57):
a second.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, just invest in diapers, I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, no one brings diapers, yeah yeah, And so you
have to this ragtag team of boys. Note, some people
make friendships other than people make enemies. And you have
a wide variety of different kind of types of characters
in this film. Great ensemble cast again. The standouts include
Cooper Hoffman, Charlie Plummer, who plays like a pretty mentally
(26:21):
unstable individual who is the route problem for many people.
Many other boys in this cast. David Johnson again, this
rising star again. I first learned of him from Alien Wamulus,
where he plays an and android. He's in that film
because he plays an android. His characters have kind of
(26:42):
very monotone, are very even keel, no great expressions or emotion.
This one's complete opposite, where he has such dramatic moments
and fun, lighthearted moments and he is a joy to
watch in this entire film. I would nominate him for
you know, Best Supporting Actor or something some type of
an award because he is fantastic in this film. The
(27:05):
book and the movie is an allegory for the Vietnam
War because that's when afterwards, that's when Stephen King wrote
the book. He kind of based a lot of the
characters on different types of soldiers that you kind of
would run into or soldiers that would be drafted into
a war scene. So yeah, it talks about the impact
of war both during and after a lot of gore.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, this is I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah. Stephen King actually insisted that the movie doesn't shy
away from the gore, from the killing because of the
message of how terrible this future America. This is stopy
in America is and again being an allegory for war.
You can't shield your eyes from some of the most
gruesome details and scenes of this film. Overall, this is
(27:52):
getting really good reviews, you know, from fans, from people
just watching it. On the whim, I really enjoyed it.
I can be a little nitpicky at the very end,
a very final scene apparently it does differ from the book,
which from what I've read. But other than the little
nitpicky at the very end, I think it's a thrilling
film keeps you at the edge of your seat. Again,
(28:13):
these characters are walking NonStop. How long have you walked?
Have you ever recorded yourself?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Or like, I mean, I've walked five k's and that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Okay, this is much longer than five k's. They walk
for five or six days straight for like three hundred
plus miles. Apparently one person in Ireland. Don't quote me
on this, but one person broke the walking record where
he walked for like six days four hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Crazy. Yeah, so this is actually kind of very realistic
where a human could do this, and then you see
you different people kind of dropping like flies for different
various reasons, sprained ankles, tripping, restroom issues like it runs
the gambit. I recommend watching this film if you're a
fan of Stephen King horror films. I think this is
what you should run to, not walk the long walk exactly.
(29:00):
Is this interesting or is this just too gruesome or
too I'm not normally a.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Fan of Gore, but I am a fan of like
runners or long endurance sports.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Your husband may like this.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, because my husband's a marathon runner, and we have
seen some things from people like in the Boston.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Marathse O'Nails falling.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Offals falling off, people who have had accidents, not just
number one but number two, running down their legs while
they're trying to finish.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Talk about the runs waas what you get.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Subscribe Taylor Swift fans have tuned in, Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
My god, Anyways, where can people watch this?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You could watch this in theaters right now. I recommend
watching it while getting an order of impossible nuggets and
a large coke. If you are an a list member,
you get that medium regular coke upgraded to a large
for free. But no curly but no curly fries. They
still having come, My goodness forgiven them, never forgive them. Lastly,
to wrap up this review, I was thinking, the funny
(30:03):
thing is. The funny thing is I was I got
in the car driving away, like, okay, a solid movie,
and I was thinking, maybe, like maybe a top five
like Stephen King films, And I was trying to think
of a couple of films, and then I realized, oh wait,
there are a ton of Stephen King movies. There are
sixty eight movies. And I started going down the list, like,
(30:23):
oh my god, yeah, Carrie, the Green No Carrie, stand
by Me, Gerald's Game, Misery, Shawsha, Redemption, The Laura's Claiborne, It,
The Shining the Life of Chuck, fourteen oh eight, Green Mile,
The Monkey, like The Missed Christine. Let's see The Running Man,
a fantastic Arnold film that you haven't that I just
(30:45):
saw recently. Which was which is amazing it chapter two? Kujo, Like,
I forgot how many Stephen King movies there are? And
now you know a lot of them are good too.
I was thinking about them like, oh, these a lot
of pretty bad ones. Like no, no, I think a
lot of them are really good. Salem's a lot filming
over here in New England. Yeah, what else? We have Firestarter,
(31:07):
Children of the Corn. Now these are kind of like
we're getting lower the rankings, the ratings are going lower.
So these are like not that those good, that good
of a film adaptation, but these up here, you know,
these are good ones.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
But it is your favorite cemetery, your favorite Stephen King
adaptation in a film? And where do you think this ranks?
Seeing this list, James, where do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Okay, I think I think this one definitely now makes
top ten, not top five, but I'll say ten. I'll
say ten. If not, it sounds fair breaks into the
ten at number ten. So watch the what's it called
the Long Walk? The Long Walk? This is a long podcast.
This is a long talk. The name of our next podcast,
(31:51):
the Long Talk. Well you know what, well, you know
what we could talk about all day. Jamie Korean dramas.
You know, we love talking about Korean dramas.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Ours every week.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, speaking of what we're watching, I'm watching a silly
Korean drama romantic drama on Netflix right now called Bone.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Appetite Your Majesty? Was it?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I think it's Bone Appetite Your Majesty. I thought it
was the Chef and the King.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
It's like the King and I is the chef and
the king. Chef and the King, King and chef.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Bone Appetite, your Majesty. And it's just really cute.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
It's about a Michelin star chef who threw a magical
cookbook during an eclipse, accidentally falls into the past, into
the Josian era my favor of course of Korean history,
(32:48):
and runs into the king of that era, who was
this notorious tyrant but who was also a foodie, I guess,
and she worms her way into his heart and into
not dying through her cooking. So she becomes the chef,
(33:10):
the main the head chef of the kingdom or whatever
of the king, and they have these cooking competitions, but
she has to use all of the ingredients that could
be found back then, and I think that's the most
interesting part of it is what she's making and how
she's making it, and they talk about the history of
food and she has to get really creative with what
(33:33):
she finds and how to make things, and like the
reactions of people back in that day. They spend a
lot of effort on the reactions to her food, which
I think is just really fun.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
It's fun, it's lighthearted, it's romantic.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
It follows all of the sort of cliche beats of
the romantic drama of this type.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
She married the king.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I haven't gotten that far great about this too. They
release one episode every couple of days, so it's not
like a chunk here or one a week.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It's like one every couple of days, which I like.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
That's a good It makes you wait, but not too long.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I kind of like low taste test, little taste, a
little sampler, yeah, little appetizer exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
You know what I would do to blow their minds
Korean barbecue. They'd be like, oh my god, this is like.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Before Korea was Korea. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, So it's really interesting and you learn about the
history of food too, so I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
If you can make anything, make one dish, to blow
the people's minds back in the past by something like
let's go back to like Renaissance, because that's only era
I know, so Renaissance or Victorian era. What dish would
you make for them, for the king or queen to
completely blow, to blow their minds, to be like, all right,
you've been granted the head chef position ice cream? Do
(34:59):
you know how to make ice cream?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay, you'd fail immediately.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
I mean, well, you need ice which I don't think
they really had.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I don't know. You'd have to find a way to
make ice cream. But I think that you could.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
But you don't know how.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I don't know, but I could learn.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
How would you learn? You're you know you're back. You
know you're in the You're you're zoomed. No, you're like
Star Trek is zoomed into the past. You're there, and
they're like, all right, what are you gonna make? I'm like,
I'm gonna make ice You're gonna blow your mind. They're great,
start making it. Oh, I actually don't know how to
make it.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I'm going to make my escape because you don't have.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
To make ice cream, you can make something else. What
I would make?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
What would you make.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I would make my world famous James Rojas world famous
fried rice, okaysus uh, you know, egg onion, garlic rice,
they have all that stuff back then, throwing a little
like protein in there, depending what it is. And yeah,
I think I think I've nailed fried rice. Okay, little
soy sauce.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, I can.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I can nail a couple of things I assume I could. Yeah,
I got a fried rice.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
But I'm also good at omelets. I'm also really good
at omelets.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All right, I do a Greek pasta that's that's really
really good, Okay, and a few other things.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
But you what would you make to impress ancestors of
years past that may be redundant?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Ring ice cream with me? That would really blow their minds?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Anybody could bring anything like if I would would I
bring I would bring Kentucky fried chicken. That would blow
their mind. I'd read some KFC that they'll go insane,
they kill me thinking I'm thinking I'm a witch, a
witch doctor or something. Well, yeah, that's fantastic. Well, if

round of cine quote. Because we are on a cine
quote winning streak.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You're on a roll.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
We're on a fourteen game winning streak.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
I'm always afraid to say, yeah, we're on a roll,
like I'm gonna jinx it, but no, we're doing really well.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
No, I challenge Karma and the Swifties to to to
bet against us. So this so this quote, this is
game ten ten one zero, one zero. If you are
wanting to play along as well, this cine quote dot
net Basically, if you don't know, it's like wordle but
with movies you get five quotes to guess what film
(37:52):
it is. And so far, Yeah, we're hot let's find
out what the first quote is with three to one
and from the biness, a giant.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Okay, it sounds familiar, about one hundred percent sure.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, not sure. And from the darkness a giant papaya.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Sounds like maybe an animated movie.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
It does kind of sound like that, all right, doing
next quote? Okay, three two.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
One, you're all really older. You thought we weren't. Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I thought it might have been one of those mad
up these that are too kids like itam it's Coco.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Favorite.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Oh, I love Coco. There's never a dry house. I
in the Casada Rojas house when Coco comes on.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, the end with the grandmother, it's it's just it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
So not to cry.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So the majority of people who guess this got it
on the third quote. We got it on the second quote,
which about twenty four percent of people who played this game.
A good number didn't get this, Like seventeen percent of
the people who played did not get this movie. Uh, Coco,
great film.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
My daughter loves the Cocoa songs.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah we have.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
We haven't watched the movie. We start watching Tangled. Did
you know Tangled is p g Yeah, so the reason
why I say this. So we were watching uh Leelo
and Stitched for a while, like her first movie. Then
we moved on to Tangled. So watching Tangled for a
while and we have all the songs memorized by now,
and then we got into started listening to This is
(39:27):
how we get into movies. We listened to the songs first,
like on the car rides to and from and then
we watched oh the Tangled song. Okay, let's watch Tangle
the movie. And so my daughter started watching it, and
you know, she really enjoyed it. The part that she
got scared was when the wolves start attacking like Christophe
and Anna by the way, no move, I'm thinking of, Oh,
it's a Tangled. She got scared during that wolf scene
(39:48):
in the Frozen Entangled. She got scared also when the
horse started going after Flynn Ryder like in the beginning,
like they get you know, caught on a branch, the
branch falls into the water. That whole kind of scene.
Got nervous, but then she got like, okay, warmed up
to it. Now she likes the whole movie. Out of
nowhere again that scene kind of spooser again, like we've
(40:09):
watched this movie through like, you're okay, You're okay. Yeah.
So it's interesting how kids kind of like like a movie,
then they get scared of it, then they like it again,
they may get scared of it again, so let me
So my wife was.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Like, yeah, yeah, I'm not the only one traumatizing my
kids with movies.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
To be fair, to be fair, what did you let
them see shashin Redemption or something? What did you what
did you show them the train? Oh? Zombie? Yeah? I
would say there are levels. There are degrees of separation there, Jamie,
between Tangled and Trained to boost On, I would say semantics. Yeah,
(40:46):
there's like a little leaf of Frozen to Tangled, but
Entangled to train that's insane. My goodness, what movie scared
you as a child? What would you recommend we show
our children coming down below? Thank you so much for

off because I officially have bad blood.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh boy with wow.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
The one the only Taylor Swift specifically you know her swifties,
okay of swifty fans, her army, her army, what.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Why would you have that glove?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Are you? Are you a swiftyan? Do you do you wait?
Do you long for the new albums to come out?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm at that level swifty, but I love her.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I love her music.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm not like up to date, but definitely love and
appreciation all the way around here for taite.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What is what? What? What has gotten you? What's what's up?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I too, you know, I'm kind of indifferent. I
know she has a lot of good songs, and I
never keep up with the news other than Kelsey Travis Kelcey,
but that's just because it's related to football. But I
learned that she's coming out with a new album called
it Party of a Showgirl. And the reason why I
learned that is because it inconvenies, because it was very
(01:49):
and I learned it in a very inconvenient way. So
I we're going to review The Long Walk, and so
I was like, you know, let me let me watch
the film. I heard really good buzz about it, so
I went, I'm an A List AMC stub Hub member,
So of course I pull out my phone, hit the
app and I started picking my movie, picking my seats
and I pick Okay, this is where I want to
(02:11):
sit and there I go to continue to the next
page and it shows, okay, purchase this ticket for fifteen bucks,
and I'm like, WHOA wait a minute, Clearly I must
have I must have deactivated the A List ticket little
toggle thing there because it's telling me to pay for
something and I'm like, and I'm signed in this is
it's confusing me. So I'm like, what the Heck's going on?
(02:33):
I back out do it again. It's telling me fifteen
dollars pay with Google pay or cash or card whatever,
not cash but card. And I'm like, okay, this is weird.
The system must be down or broken. So I go
to go to the trustee laptop, I log into AMC
and it takes me to a loading page, a loading page,
a Q page. I had to wait on this Q
(02:56):
page four for a minute, maybe two minutes and again,
and it's as Taylor Swift's new album coming to theaters,
and I'm like, did I click the wrong button? I
didn't mean to click on a Taylor Swift thing. So
I go back out click on the MAINAMC dot com page.
Takes me back to the que line and I'm like,
what is going on? And so I go on there.
I'm logged into my stuff ub account, pick my seat,
(03:17):
go through the process, and it says, hey, fifteen bucks
for this ticket. I'm like, this is this is wrong.
Something must be wrong. And I see there's a notification
saying your A list rewards isn't working or isn't available
at this time.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh my, I'm like it needed all of the power.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It needed all the computing processing power to handle the
Swifties who were logging in during that time. So I call,
I call amc.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I'm not sure if you guys have noticed this, but
there's an A List situation. I'm trying to buy a
ticket and it's telling me to purchase and there's a
warning sign about it being unavailable, and the person on
the phone, the manager, says, oh, yeah, we had a
team meeting and we were told that there's this issue.
All these A listers they're getting disrupted by the Swifties
(04:03):
who've overtaken the website. Yeah, and so they said, don't worry,
just come on in and then go to the front
kiosko what have you, And then just show us your
StubHub account. You remember, they can scan it to go
fish like an animal, like an animal, and they get Yeah,
they gave me a printed ticket, a printed ticket like
(04:23):
a like a commoner. I'm an A List member. What
the hell? And so unfortunately, you know, I was able
to get my seat and everything worked out well. But
that's how I learned that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
That, you know, party of a show girl.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. Have you ever been inconvenience by Taylor Swift?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I have not. I've only been convenienced too, Oh my goodness,
I have only been delightfully happy every time that I've
heard mention of her name or her music.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, I have never I but I suppose I can empathize.
I'm sorry that you had to go, like it's like
twenty years in the past. Person to go purchase a
ticket and.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I'll give her a pass on this. Don't don't let
this happen again. Taylor or Swifties out there. I'm not
afraid of you. I know you guys. You guys go
after people. Yeah, do you really.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Want the Swifties after us? Here on the look, I
sissed off the state.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Of Hamshire and that theme of thing like if you
piss off the Swifties.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
As long as you guys comment down below and play
with the algorithm. I don't mind the extra traffic on
our videos.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
This is all him. Don't blame me, right, I love
tay Tale all the way.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Exactly did you watch the last Taylor Swift concert when
it came to movie theaters and everyone was singing and
dancing and crying and all that.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Stuff like crying. But yeah, it was great, It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I love that she does that because have you
ever tried to get one of these tickets in person?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah? Because, yeah, you know why possible because the Swifties,
the Swifties. The average fan can't get a ticket because
of Swifties.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I love this. She does that And just like Hamilton.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Remember during the COVID when Hamilton was put on the
streaming services on Disney Plus, was it for everyone to
watch for free?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So I appreciate it when.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Artists do that for us plebeians who can't afford to
go to the actual concerts either in person. I think
it's just a really nice touch for everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious if anybody listening or watching us
had the same trouble. I went on AMC just for like,
just for the hell of it, just to check in
see the state of the website, and the same thing.
I can log in right here. This is exactly what
I saw, Jamie. Let's see so AMC so again, this
is the main AMC whatever right right, And then you
get you are in line to access to AMC theaters
(06:49):
less than a minute. Yeah, thank you for your patience
for experience high traffic volume. Yeah, you will have to.
You have ten minutes to begin your Taylor Swift purchase online.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well here's here's another thing that you would need to consider. Okay,
AMC's making money. Yes, that means that movie theaters will
stay right. This is the kind of thing that helps
buoie theaters. So maybe AMC is the only one kind
of doing this right now with Tata and that's great.
Maybe Cinemark has a deal with someone else, you know,
(07:21):
it helps support the theaters.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Other other thing, gosh, okay, I'm sorry, swifties, I don't
know the lore.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Let them have as.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Much as I should.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
No, not letting them.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Have in a positive way us out get them.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is positive.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But this is why I admire her so much.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Didn't she make a deal like to go directly to
AMC and and release I.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Think for that concert yet.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Instead of like going through a production studio a great
you know, like a greater release, like, she made a
deal directly with AMC and it highly benefited her. And
I just think that she's a brilliant business woman and
I have nothing but respect for her and whatever helps
keep the theaters open. Hey, I'm there for it, so
(08:12):
you you know that's what therapy is.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, I will let this pass, I will let this slide.
I will shake it off this one time, Taylor Swift.
But if you again listening or watching, experienced this this
past week, coming down below, and what did you see,
leive us a little review of what you saw again.
I saw the long Walk, which we will get into later.
But what we are getting into now, yes, in the
(08:36):
here and now is local filming, local projects happening in
Massachusetts and New England. That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We've talked about this in the last couple of episodes.
We have so many projects filming right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We are doing better than Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Hollywood's done a big slump with productions, even though they
just passed a big package of like incentives and things
kind of bring movies back to Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But we are doing so so well right now here
in New England.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Ton of projects filming or that have recently wrapped. And
now we've got a new one coming in October for
a short period of time, but still very happy to
hear it. Boston Casting handling this one Love of your Life.
It's called project called Love of your life. So I
(09:27):
can imagine that's probably a romantic comedy or something like that.
If you are interested in background work on that, Bostoncasting
dot com is where it's at. Also looking for tons
of background right now, also being done through Boston Casting.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Cheese Steak, Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Wahlberg, Mockey Mac filming everywhere right now, and they need
tons of background, not.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Only adults, but kids too.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's a movie about a father and his autistic son,
so lots of scenes with lots of background. I'm talking thousands, thousands, thousands,
tons of opportunities to get on this film right now.
So that's Cheese Steak, You've got Dead City filming.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Also Super Troopers three.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
When they ask for thousands of extras, usually is that
usually for like a festival scene or like a beach scene, or.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Throughout the production entirely. But yeah, there's there's school scenes,
mall scenes, outdoor thing.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You did a mall scene I did in Spirited Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Ryan will Ferrell, and my son got to be a
kid in the Santa line there in that part of
the movie. I was also a background in the Good Afternoon,
Good Afternoons. Spent a whole week filming that in downtown Boston,
which was amazing. So yeah, that's why people should watch
(10:53):
us here on Hollywood because not only do we bring
you reviews, not only do we let you know the news,
we want to get you on the film set hanging
out with these big stars in the movies and TVs
that shows that get shot here in New England. So
they should like subscribe, maybe, I think so. I think so.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And you know what, if you are not interested in
being in front of the camera, either on the big
screen or a small screen, but you know somebody, if
your son, your daughter, your brother, sister, mother, father, grandma, grandpa,
neighbor down the street, share the help on Hollywood with
them because maybe they want that one break, they want
that one little chance to shine in the spotlight. However,
(11:34):
you know, deep in the background they are yeah, or
maybe they're cars or their cars exactly. Cars are big
thing for cars.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They're looking for pets sometimes too.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Cee little babies. Do you have a cue little baby
out there?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And they're looking for characters. I mean, it's amazing the
opportunities that are there. So we recommend that you sign
up with all of the local casting agencies look out
for those emails and look out for those opportunities. Kendall
Cooper Casting is handling Dead City right now and they're
actually looking for a bunch of principal actors throughout this season.
(12:08):
So that's a great way to get both in the
background and the foreground and you know, the ground, ground.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And every ground.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, do remember stay grounded. Don't let it get to
your head, don't let it go there. All right, Yeah,
but you know where we are going. We're gonna go there.
We're going there. We're going to the next big Marvel project.
Marvel's Avengers Doomsday officially wrapped. Yeah, all right. Crew members
confirmed it. This is the one, of course where our
(12:37):
DJ Robert Downey Junior, our boy has come out of
Marvel retirement to play doctor Doom.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right yeah, not Tony Starr.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Not Tony Stark. So the team, the crew members, they
shared a picture of them like showing their their crew jackets,
their set jackets. Awesome, and so they showed the last
day that they wrapped, and the producers, the directors and
every buddy, the higher ups. They sent out this following
message to the cast and crew saying, thank you for
incredible work that you've done to bring Avengers Doomsday to life.
(13:08):
This achievement is possible only because of your unmatched talents, dedication,
and expertise. This movie really looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yes, we know when we're getting it?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, got no, I think so. Now the official wrapping
of it, the shooting of it has wrapped. Now you have, like,
I don't know, six months at least of visual effects
and editing and all that stuff. Is that the usual
as far as you know, Yes, visual.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Period year or longer, depending on what the visuals are.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Let me let me see if they do have a
release date. But hopefully this is one of those movies
that brings Marvel back.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
That's what they're hoping, and they're putting a lot of
effort into this. They're taking risks for sure, bringing Artie
j back as a completely different character. Very interesting. So
December eighteenth, twenty twenty six, a little over a year
or we can expect this one. I appreciate that they
(14:03):
have a specific release date. You know what doesn't have
a release date even though it's supposed to release soon.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What One Piece?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
One Piece?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
One Piece Live Action on Netflix Season one was a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Everyone loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I think universally accepted as one of the best, if
not the best, live action adaptations of an anime ever
high expectations.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Filming has been wrapped for a while.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
They will be releasing in twenty twenty six, is what
they've announced, but still no release date.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, did you hear they changed the name for the
second season? Oh my god, what it's called? One Piece?
Too furious?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I am going to punch you?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh no, no? Now is this kidding?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
These promos that they're releasing, is it like a like
a like a I don't know, a love hate kind
of a situation, because you love to see the promos,
but you hate that they haven't released a date.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, that is exactly it. Y I am.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm loving everything that they have given us. We already
saw Chopper before. Now we got a first trailer, and
now just in the last week, we've got new promotional material,
some background you know, behind the scenes sort of footage,
some more shots from the show itself, the characters, the
actors talking about what to expect in the next season.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Right, these characters are coming.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Together, they're a crew now, they're relying on each other.
It's going to be really special, really exciting. Lots of
big special effects.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But when, but when?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
So the speculation was that based on when they wrapped
up filming, that we would have it like early twenty
twenty six, January February maybe at the latest.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Maybe please no longer later than that.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
However, if we were approaching an early twenty twenty six release,
we're already in September of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Don't you think that they would have a release date?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
What if they do like a secret like drop these
just drop it on one Wednesday night, Like here it is,
I enjoy feast.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But I'm about to go like all gung gung gatling
on the on Netflix over here, waiting with baited breath
for when I can expect this to finally drop. I'm
loving everything I'm seeing in the promotional materials. I just
need to know when I can hang my hopes upon.
What is that date that you know that we can
strive towards. But here's my speculation. Here's where I think
(16:28):
we don't have a date.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You speculate special effects.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
The special effects in this season are going to be huge, tremendous,
very ambitious undertaking, because not only are we going to
have dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs in the ocean, ocean dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, okay, that makes sense from island, okaysen.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Know anything about one piece of stew Sorry everyone.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I do know that that the one that Chopper character says,
get to the Choppa caphrase?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right, And I think, so, okay, yeah, no, you're right,
But I was gonna speaking of Chopper. They also have
a fully cgi main character is Chopper.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Voiced by the same voice actor in the series and animated.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, no different voice actress, very, very beautiful woman and
great actor who voices Chopper. I am forgetting her name
right now, and I'm a terrible person for that. James
is going to look it up right now. He's on
this breaking news.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But from the release from the MICHAELA there we go. Yeah, MICHAELA. Hoover.
She does a lot of voice acting.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh, I think she's in Peacemaker. Isn't she a Peacemaker?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I think?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Or she's in Superman.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
She was in Superman, right, she played one of them?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Oh she played this you know what this the blonde?
I guess you played in the Superman She plays a
character with bleach blonde hair. I kept like thinking, is
that s brainda Carpenter. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
She looks like super Car.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, especially in the movie. Yeah, but Mikaela Hoover.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Okay, she's a wonderful actress, very very beautiful, and she
does the voice for.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Chopper Chopper Hoover. Any connection, No.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
No, okay, actually one in the same.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So I just I can't wait, I can't wait. And yeah,
I'm getting antsy in my.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Pants Nancy and your pantsy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm just kidding. I'm just I don't know who to
take out my anxiety.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm like, who do I.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Take it out on the Swifties? Take it out on
the Swifties. We're coming after you, the Swifties. You're right, sorry, sorry,
Oh my god, for a second, I don't want to
have to hire star.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
On Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He's just joking, just joking. This is a mess. Yeah,
just keep watching our videos and like and subscribe. Oh man, yeah,
I will, I will declare it. I will give an
official apology if all the Swifties I can subscribe to
the help on Hollywood. All right, apology is coming right around
the corner. But what else is coming right around the corner?
(19:07):
Anything else you want to add and needs no apology
and needs no apologies. Sinners is competing. It is going
for gold at the Golden Globes. I did not plan that.
That's perfect. Yeah, so Sinners one of my think my favorite,
if not my second or first favorite movie of last year.
Fantastic Are you on this year? Didn't it? Yeah? Of
(19:28):
course it is competing this year. It came out in
like January February, so long ago, but the memory still
sticks in my mind. Here is gone by my god
this year. Don't get me started on this year. But
Sinners Warner Brothers has confirmed that to Golden Derby Now,
Ryan Coogler's horror period piece will campaign for Best Film
(19:48):
Drama category in this year's Golden Globe Award ceremony. Michael B.
Jordan will be eligible for the Best Film Drama Actor
he plays of course twin Brothers Smoke and Stack does
get two awards for that. I think he should, and
the rest of the ensemble will compete for Best Films
Supporting Actor and Best Film Supporting Actress. I'm really looking
(20:10):
forward to this. I think when I said, when this
movie came out and we can rewind or you go
rewind watch that episode where I reviewed it. This deserves
all the awards, such a great film such It's on
HBO Max right now, and my wife and I are
trying to figure out schedule our schedules to watch this
three hour film.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Michael B. Jordan can anyone?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No one has deserved an award more I think than
Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, Smoke and Stack. Not only
did he play two characters but convincingly gave them very
distinct personalities that made them feel like two very separate people,
interacting with himself in scenes and just doing such a
(20:55):
phenomenal job at that. I don't know who could possibly
top him or who deserves too. I don't think anyone does.
So if this doesn't go to Michael B. Jordan, we
burn that.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We rit we will, we will, we will burn down
the barn, just like in Sinners. Just like in Sinners.
So go and then dance and do a little do
a little Irish jig. It'll be fantastic. What else is
fantastic is you know, nostalgia. Who doesn't love nostalgia? And
if you go back to a long time ago, to
(21:25):
last week, from last week's episode of the Help on Hollywood,
Man good Times last week was during that episode we
talked about Bring It On hitting its twenty fifth year anniversary.
La la, my goodness, my goodness. Well to remember that
we don't have to. But coincidentally, we have more Bring
it On news. So Alamo Draft House, those those angels
(21:49):
who take no guff from people talking or texting in
movie theaters, they are hosting this weekend the twenty fifth
anniversary screening of Bringing On, followed by a live virtual
Q and A with the cast and director. This is
here here in Boston, so they're screening it in Boston.
If you're watching this, it's already happened. But isn't that
cool that it did? And so they're they're doing a screening,
(22:13):
but they're doing a virtual Q and A with Kirsen
Dunst and Jesse Bradford as well as the director, Peyton Reid.
That would have been so cool if they were able
to be here in person. Maybe they're filming, maybe they're
doing other stuff, but but you know, it's it's better
than nothing. So if you are a fan of Bring
It On, put that put that DVD back into into
(22:33):
your PlayStation or Xbox and watch that film.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's already been brought.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's already been brought. And I love that film. I
think it holds up. I tell my wife it holds up.
It holds up. Yeah, let's see. You know what. I
think we'll also hold up. What this latest Stephen King
novel to movie adaptation, The Long Walk.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I feel like every week we're talking about is Stephen
King adaptation.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's weird. It's either Stephen King or bring it on.
It's always those two.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But he's such a prolific writer. Yeah, and such an
incredible writer from Maine.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Right, So Stephen King, this is The Long Walk?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He watched it? What is this one about?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So? Have you seen the trailer for this?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's a really fun I've never read the book, and
I'm always debating whether to read the book before watching
the film, or watch the film and then read the book.
This one I have no time to read anymore. So
I was like, you know, I can knock this out
in under two hours. This is an hour and fifty
minutes long, that's with credits, but directed by Francis Lawrence,
written by Stephen King and JT. Molnard. Stephen King had
(23:37):
really had a lot of control on this film. There
have been a lot of film adaptations where they like
they just adapted from the book and he doesn't have
much say much direction, but apparently hit a lot of
say in this film, and I think it shows. The
movie starring Cooper Hoffman, the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Something I just learned like this past twoday is Cooper Hoffman.
(24:01):
David Johnson, a rising star. David Johnson from Alien Romulus.
I was gushing over his performance and that film when
we reviewed it. Garrett Waring and none other than Mark
Hamiell star in this film. The story is about a
group of teenage boys or young men competing in an
annual contest known as the Long Walk, in which they
(24:22):
must maintain a certain walking speed or get shawn and killed.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So is this like Blade Runner?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
This is like a dystopian near future kind of film
where there was a civil war in America and at
the end of it or you know, I take this back,
whether it's either a civil war or a Great World war,
but at the end of it, in its aftermath, America's
economy completely decimated. And so the premise of this Long
(24:52):
Walk competition is to get one individual, one person, one
young man from each state fifty contestines and to boost
nation morale, the winner, the winner of this long walk
wins like a bajillion dollars and they get like a
last wish or a final like a big wish. Whatever
(25:13):
they wish for they get. And so they say no
to boost the economy, to boost morale, each state will
will be drawn from a lottery in an individual and
they'll compete. And as long as you maintain a speed,
a walking speed of three miles per hour, which is
like a brisk walk, which is like a you know,
not a crazy walk, but like a steady walk. If
(25:34):
you do that and outwalk everybody else, there's no finish line,
then you win. If you not get to sleep, they
do not get to sleep, So you got. You don't
get to sleep, you don't get to drink water. You
get they give you like some rations. They get to eat,
like little tubes of nutrients and whatnot. You can't stop
to use the restroom, which plays a pivotal role in
this film multiple times. Okay, yeah, think about that for
(25:57):
a second.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, just invest in diapers, I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, no one brings diapers, yeah yeah, And so you
have to this ragtag team of boys. Note, some people
make friendships other than people make enemies. And you have
a wide variety of different kind of types of characters
in this film. Great ensemble cast again. The standouts include
Cooper Hoffman, Charlie Plummer, who plays like a pretty mentally
(26:21):
unstable individual who is the route problem for many people.
Many other boys in this cast. David Johnson again, this
rising star again. I first learned of him from Alien Wamulus,
where he plays an and android. He's in that film
because he plays an android. His characters have kind of
(26:42):
very monotone, are very even keel, no great expressions or emotion.
This one's complete opposite, where he has such dramatic moments
and fun, lighthearted moments and he is a joy to
watch in this entire film. I would nominate him for
you know, Best Supporting Actor or something some type of
an award because he is fantastic in this film. The
(27:05):
book and the movie is an allegory for the Vietnam
War because that's when afterwards, that's when Stephen King wrote
the book. He kind of based a lot of the
characters on different types of soldiers that you kind of
would run into or soldiers that would be drafted into
a war scene. So yeah, it talks about the impact
of war both during and after a lot of gore.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, this is I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah. Stephen King actually insisted that the movie doesn't shy
away from the gore, from the killing because of the
message of how terrible this future America. This is stopy
in America is and again being an allegory for war.
You can't shield your eyes from some of the most
gruesome details and scenes of this film. Overall, this is
(27:52):
getting really good reviews, you know, from fans, from people
just watching it. On the whim, I really enjoyed it.
I can be a little nitpicky at the very end,
a very final scene apparently it does differ from the book,
which from what I've read. But other than the little
nitpicky at the very end, I think it's a thrilling
film keeps you at the edge of your seat. Again,
(28:13):
these characters are walking NonStop. How long have you walked?
Have you ever recorded yourself?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Or like, I mean, I've walked five k's and that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Okay, this is much longer than five k's. They walk
for five or six days straight for like three hundred
plus miles. Apparently one person in Ireland. Don't quote me
on this, but one person broke the walking record where
he walked for like six days four hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Crazy. Yeah, so this is actually kind of very realistic
where a human could do this, and then you see
you different people kind of dropping like flies for different
various reasons, sprained ankles, tripping, restroom issues like it runs
the gambit. I recommend watching this film if you're a
fan of Stephen King horror films. I think this is
what you should run to, not walk the long walk exactly.
(29:00):
Is this interesting or is this just too gruesome or
too I'm not normally a.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Fan of Gore, but I am a fan of like
runners or long endurance sports.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Your husband may like this.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, because my husband's a marathon runner, and we have
seen some things from people like in the Boston.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Marathse O'Nails falling.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Offals falling off, people who have had accidents, not just
number one but number two, running down their legs while
they're trying to finish.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Talk about the runs waas what you get.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Subscribe Taylor Swift fans have tuned in, Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
My god, Anyways, where can people watch this?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You could watch this in theaters right now. I recommend
watching it while getting an order of impossible nuggets and
a large coke. If you are an a list member,
you get that medium regular coke upgraded to a large
for free. But no curly but no curly fries. They
still having come, My goodness forgiven them, never forgive them. Lastly,
to wrap up this review, I was thinking, the funny
(30:03):
thing is. The funny thing is I was I got
in the car driving away, like, okay, a solid movie,
and I was thinking, maybe, like maybe a top five
like Stephen King films, And I was trying to think
of a couple of films, and then I realized, oh wait,
there are a ton of Stephen King movies. There are
sixty eight movies. And I started going down the list, like,
(30:23):
oh my god, yeah, Carrie, the Green No Carrie, stand
by Me, Gerald's Game, Misery, Shawsha, Redemption, The Laura's Claiborne, It,
The Shining the Life of Chuck, fourteen oh eight, Green Mile,
The Monkey, like The Missed Christine. Let's see The Running Man,
a fantastic Arnold film that you haven't that I just
(30:45):
saw recently. Which was which is amazing it chapter two? Kujo, Like,
I forgot how many Stephen King movies there are? And
now you know a lot of them are good too.
I was thinking about them like, oh, these a lot
of pretty bad ones. Like no, no, I think a
lot of them are really good. Salem's a lot filming
over here in New England. Yeah, what else? We have Firestarter,
(31:07):
Children of the Corn. Now these are kind of like
we're getting lower the rankings, the ratings are going lower.
So these are like not that those good, that good
of a film adaptation, but these up here, you know,
these are good ones.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
But it is your favorite cemetery, your favorite Stephen King
adaptation in a film? And where do you think this ranks?
Seeing this list, James, where do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Okay, I think I think this one definitely now makes
top ten, not top five, but I'll say ten. I'll
say ten. If not, it sounds fair breaks into the
ten at number ten. So watch the what's it called
the Long Walk? The Long Walk? This is a long podcast.
This is a long talk. The name of our next podcast,
(31:51):
the Long Talk. Well you know what, well, you know
what we could talk about all day. Jamie Korean dramas.
You know, we love talking about Korean dramas.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Ours every week.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, speaking of what we're watching, I'm watching a silly
Korean drama romantic drama on Netflix right now called Bone.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Appetite Your Majesty? Was it?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I think it's Bone Appetite Your Majesty. I thought it
was the Chef and the King.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
It's like the King and I is the chef and
the king. Chef and the King, King and chef.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Bone Appetite, your Majesty. And it's just really cute.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
It's about a Michelin star chef who threw a magical
cookbook during an eclipse, accidentally falls into the past, into
the Josian era my favor of course of Korean history,
(32:48):
and runs into the king of that era, who was
this notorious tyrant but who was also a foodie, I guess,
and she worms her way into his heart and into
not dying through her cooking. So she becomes the chef,
(33:10):
the main the head chef of the kingdom or whatever
of the king, and they have these cooking competitions, but
she has to use all of the ingredients that could
be found back then, and I think that's the most
interesting part of it is what she's making and how
she's making it, and they talk about the history of
food and she has to get really creative with what
(33:33):
she finds and how to make things, and like the
reactions of people back in that day. They spend a
lot of effort on the reactions to her food, which
I think is just really fun.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
It's fun, it's lighthearted, it's romantic.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
It follows all of the sort of cliche beats of
the romantic drama of this type.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
She married the king.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I haven't gotten that far great about this too. They
release one episode every couple of days, so it's not
like a chunk here or one a week.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It's like one every couple of days, which I like.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
That's a good It makes you wait, but not too long.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I kind of like low taste test, little taste, a
little sampler, yeah, little appetizer exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
You know what I would do to blow their minds
Korean barbecue. They'd be like, oh my god, this is like.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Before Korea was Korea. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, So it's really interesting and you learn about the
history of food too, so I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
If you can make anything, make one dish, to blow
the people's minds back in the past by something like
let's go back to like Renaissance, because that's only era
I know, so Renaissance or Victorian era. What dish would
you make for them, for the king or queen to
completely blow, to blow their minds, to be like, all right,
you've been granted the head chef position ice cream? Do
(34:59):
you know how to make ice cream?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay, you'd fail immediately.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
I mean, well, you need ice which I don't think
they really had.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I don't know. You'd have to find a way to
make ice cream. But I think that you could.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
But you don't know how.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I don't know, but I could learn.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
How would you learn? You're you know you're back. You
know you're in the You're you're zoomed. No, you're like
Star Trek is zoomed into the past. You're there, and
they're like, all right, what are you gonna make? I'm like,
I'm gonna make ice You're gonna blow your mind. They're great,
start making it. Oh, I actually don't know how to
make it.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I'm going to make my escape because you don't have.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
To make ice cream, you can make something else. What
I would make?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
What would you make.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I would make my world famous James Rojas world famous
fried rice, okaysus uh, you know, egg onion, garlic rice,
they have all that stuff back then, throwing a little
like protein in there, depending what it is. And yeah,
I think I think I've nailed fried rice. Okay, little
soy sauce.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, I can.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I can nail a couple of things I assume I could. Yeah,
I got a fried rice.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
But I'm also good at omelets. I'm also really good
at omelets.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All right, I do a Greek pasta that's that's really
really good, Okay, and a few other things.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
But you what would you make to impress ancestors of
years past that may be redundant?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Ring ice cream with me? That would really blow their minds?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Anybody could bring anything like if I would would I
bring I would bring Kentucky fried chicken. That would blow
their mind. I'd read some KFC that they'll go insane,
they kill me thinking I'm thinking I'm a witch, a
witch doctor or something. Well, yeah, that's fantastic. Well, if

round of cine quote. Because we are on a cine
quote winning streak.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You're on a roll.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
We're on a fourteen game winning streak.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
I'm always afraid to say, yeah, we're on a roll,
like I'm gonna jinx it, but no, we're doing really well.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
No, I challenge Karma and the Swifties to to to
bet against us. So this so this quote, this is
game ten ten one zero, one zero. If you are
wanting to play along as well, this cine quote dot
net Basically, if you don't know, it's like wordle but
with movies you get five quotes to guess what film
(37:52):
it is. And so far, Yeah, we're hot let's find
out what the first quote is with three to one
and from the biness, a giant.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Okay, it sounds familiar, about one hundred percent sure.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, not sure. And from the darkness a giant papaya.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Sounds like maybe an animated movie.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
It does kind of sound like that, all right, doing
next quote? Okay, three two.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
One, you're all really older. You thought we weren't. Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I thought it might have been one of those mad
up these that are too kids like itam it's Coco.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Favorite.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Oh, I love Coco. There's never a dry house. I
in the Casada Rojas house when Coco comes on.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, the end with the grandmother, it's it's just it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
So not to cry.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So the majority of people who guess this got it
on the third quote. We got it on the second quote,
which about twenty four percent of people who played this game.
A good number didn't get this, Like seventeen percent of
the people who played did not get this movie. Uh, Coco,
great film.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
My daughter loves the Cocoa songs.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah we have.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
We haven't watched the movie. We start watching Tangled. Did
you know Tangled is p g Yeah, so the reason
why I say this. So we were watching uh Leelo
and Stitched for a while, like her first movie. Then
we moved on to Tangled. So watching Tangled for a
while and we have all the songs memorized by now,
and then we got into started listening to This is
(39:27):
how we get into movies. We listened to the songs first,
like on the car rides to and from and then
we watched oh the Tangled song. Okay, let's watch Tangle
the movie. And so my daughter started watching it, and
you know, she really enjoyed it. The part that she
got scared was when the wolves start attacking like Christophe
and Anna by the way, no move, I'm thinking of, Oh,
it's a Tangled. She got scared during that wolf scene
(39:48):
in the Frozen Entangled. She got scared also when the
horse started going after Flynn Ryder like in the beginning,
like they get you know, caught on a branch, the
branch falls into the water. That whole kind of scene.
Got nervous, but then she got like, okay, warmed up
to it. Now she likes the whole movie. Out of
nowhere again that scene kind of spooser again, like we've
(40:09):
watched this movie through like, you're okay, You're okay. Yeah.
So it's interesting how kids kind of like like a movie,
then they get scared of it, then they like it again,
they may get scared of it again, so let me
So my wife was.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Like, yeah, yeah, I'm not the only one traumatizing my
kids with movies.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
To be fair, to be fair, what did you let
them see shashin Redemption or something? What did you what
did you show them the train? Oh? Zombie? Yeah? I
would say there are levels. There are degrees of separation there, Jamie,
between Tangled and Trained to boost On, I would say semantics. Yeah,
(40:46):
there's like a little leaf of Frozen to Tangled, but
Entangled to train that's insane. My goodness, what movie scared
you as a child? What would you recommend we show
our children coming down below? Thank you so much for
