Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast. I'm
your co host James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This week's episode, the first trailers of the Fantastic Four
and Jurassic World Rebirth are out. One looks fantastic One
looks like a dusty old bag of bones. Which one
am I talking about. We'll find out. A lawmaker in
Connecticut is trying to give back the control to movie
theater goers. And also some Valentine themed movies. Are they
(00:39):
really Valentine themed love themed movies? We will find out.
But first, Jamie, you're gonna be Jerry. It's me. I
understand because I've done something unthinkable.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Unforgivable, unforgivable. So I would just like to start this
segment in this episode by saying, how dare you? I mean,
how dare you speak into the universe? For anybody who's
been following us recently, you know that I'm a fan
of One Piece and the One Piece Live Action on
Netflix they have Oh my God, Oh my God, James
(01:17):
and this one. Mister James Rohans in one of our
last episodes was like, oh, you love it so much,
what if it gets delayed? What are you gonna do
if it gets delayed.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Because you have this project, yes, this ongoing project.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I have an ongoing project, both exactly where I
am drawing one one piece character every week until one
Piece Season two comes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Out, which is a right on the corner, right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Kick you off the stage. So we just heard this week.
This week, February fourth, Netflix announced that Season two has
wrapped filming, has just wrapped filming, which is different from
what we thought. We thought they had wrapped in December,
and given that it takes about a year turnaround for
these seasons to come out, it was the first season
(02:05):
filmed August twenty third. August twenty twenty three is when
they wrapped, and August twenty twenty four is when it
came out, So we can presume, James. We can presume
also Netflix came out with their slate of movies and
TV shows for twenty twenty five, their preview One Piece
(02:27):
was not a part of that. So we can presume, James,
that the malice that you spoken to the universe and
wove into creation is that one Piece has been bumped
till twenty twenty six, Episode two, a Season two.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Release, Well, at least we all get to see more
of your creativity come to light. And that's exactly what
I wanted.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
For, uh, for us, Yeah, that's what you were going for.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, because your videos are popular.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If you haven't seen videos on our TikTok or Instagram
or YouTube. Yeah, Jamie has a time lapse videos of
her creating one of the plethora of characters in One Piece,
and they're really good.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that. I'm still mad, but
I think the good news is we're not gonna have
to wait that much longer. I'm definitely being over dramatic.
It's most likely going to be an early twenty twenty
six release, and you're right, I'll draw some more so
will excuse you?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So, don't you dare?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Before we started, I was asking because I know very
little about One Piece. I've heard some things, but we
discussed that on a previous episode. But yes, one thing
I'm talking about is the one piece itself itself, so
it's it's treasure, but nobody knows what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
People don't know if it's one literal piece of de
Bloom or if one piece is like a giant mountain
trove of like of gold and jewels. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It could be, It could be, It could be anything,
so I think, and that's a big part of the
story itself, is that for twenty over twenty years, people
have been searching for Gold Rogers treasure. They've been searching
for the King of the Pirates treasure, and anyone who
finds it becomes the King of the.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Pirates, and Gold Rogers is dead for sure, Yes, for sure?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh yeah, okay, he dead dead. He's executed at the
very beginning all of all of this. I don't want
to get into spoilers about why he's super super dead.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Spoilers on this twenty year old story that's never really ongoing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, is ongoing. It's been going for twenty five years,
and no one has found the one piece, So we
don't know if it's We don't know if it's treasure
or what other people theorize it could be it's the
friends we made along the way.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
If it does that, I'm not having watch about. I
be pissed off now that kind of okay. So one
thing that bugs me is that like these never ending
quests with no definitive end, Yeah, First, do you imagine
this series ending like if it's not up to like
the creator or whatever, TV rights or whatever, like, do
you imagine it continuing on literally for perpetuity?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Look, I think the only man and limiting. I think
the only thing limiting the one piece universe and story
is Hida's lifespan. The man is getting older. He cannot
live forever. But if he could, if Oda could live forever,
this story would go on.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And he's writing forever comic version of it, like the Yeah,
he's the mangaca.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
He's the one who writes the manga.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I do have the censor of that mango. So he
so he does the the manga and then that gets
translated into the one piece the anime anime.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Correct, Okay, that's right, So he's the author.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Do you imagine like on his deathbed or maybe he
has already written it out or drawn it out or
what have you that like when his heart takes its
final beat and it stops like like this safe will
automatically open open and then like a one piece goal,
spotlight shines on the script and like, oh here it is.
Do you think that will happen? Or will he die?
(06:05):
Will he take one piece with better not to the grave.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, look, we've all been rooting for his health. He
had a little bit of a health scare this year,
and he's been taking better care of himself because this
story is it's approaching its end. At one point he
said that it was going to end before, but then
that that changed. I think he had retired, like very
temporarily at one point, and then he couldn't stand it.
So the story continues, and they have said that in
(06:33):
the next two ish years that Loofy will find the
one piece, or the one piece will be found. What
it will be, I don't know what it will mean
for the story. I don't know. But this world is
so expansive and detailed and tremendous, with so many layers
and backstory and ford story and every which way you know,
(06:55):
I don't see it ending, even even when Oda does
eventually walk away from it. I hope, like you said,
like in a safe somewhere, he's got like all these
storylines and things where other people can pick up the
story and keep going with it. Because yes, look, this
is an anime, a manga in an anime that has
nearing twelve hundred episodes and I'm now on episode nine hundred,
(07:20):
nine hundred, I've finally gotten to and it doesn't feel
like enough. You would think at this point you would
be tired of it. That would be redundancy. Nay, nay,
there is not. And I'm slowing down now because i
don't want it to end.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm kind of tired of it. I don't know, I
don't even watch it. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
We got to get James into it, guy, But uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, so may her fingers crossed for an early twenty
twenty six really please those Jamie will her fingers will
fall off from drawing too many cartoons. Well you know what.
You know what also drives people mad and crazy? Those
damn ads before every movie, seemingly that that run from
(08:02):
twenty to thirty minutes long before the movie starts. These
include the trailers, the popcorn concession ad and Nicole Kidman
telling us you're in a go to watch an AMC
movie while you are inside an AMC theaters and to
watch Imax when you are watching an IMAX movie, you're
in the theater seats already. There's a man amen, a hero,
(08:24):
a hero, so he's really doing the Lorri's work right now,
because he must, he must be a viewer of the podcast.
He must have heard my cries for help. Because there's
a lawmaker in Connecticut who is trying to stop the
time wasting. Stop wasting everyone's time. Senator Martin Looney of
New Haven, Connecticut. He's proposed a bill that would require
(08:48):
that each movie advertisement or listing included that there's a
scheduled set time. So not only do you know when
the trailers begin, you know exactly to the minute when
the movie will start. So when you go in, you're
not like bombarded by fifteen trailers, five commercials to Nicole Kidman,
(09:09):
back to back, which has happened numerous times. AMC one
thing you need to keep it. I don't know how
that happens.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I saw three Nicole Kidman who was in charge of Nicol.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They're in well. Senator Loney is trying to rain this
in because this would give people an advertised time of like, okay,
trailers start at X amount, at X time, and then
the movie starts right here, so you could just walk
in and not be surprised by all this time wasting.
He says, quote it seems to be an abuse, an
abuse of people's time, continuing continuing on to say, if
(09:43):
they want to get there early and watch the promos,
they can, but they just want But if they just
want to watch the feature, they ought to be able
to get there and just in time for that. Can
we have it?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Can we take a moment of applause for this man,
this American hero and.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Being so angry that all the other ills of society
fall to the wayside.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
One political issue that all in America cares.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
About, lawmakers bringing to the forefront exactly in his heroic way.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
A true hero.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They should make a movie about this man.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, we should make a movie about him, like his
character being in the movie theater and like movie after
movie just have like that PTSD like moments of like,
oh my god, when will this end?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And then he gets the brilliant idea to propose this.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So I know that you hate that, you hate it,
you know, and in support of you, you know, they
have been getting longer, longer and longer and longer. AMC says,
look on my web on the website, it says, you know,
be prepared for at least twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But it's like it's like thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, right, now. But I will say the one argument
that AMC has against this, okay, rather the theater people
folks in general, is that's where they make their money,
is it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's what they make the movie off trail.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But also like the movie and you know, the advertisements
before the movie and things like that. So they are arguing,
if you give people a set time for when exactly
the movie begins, then nobody's gonna watch the ads. Then
the people who pay for the ads are not gonna
want to pay as much anymore or at all, and
then movie theaters are gonna die and we'll never get
(11:23):
to watch movies again.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's their arguts spiral. They're creating a problem in hopes
of solving another one, but then that creates two more problems,
and then people don't go to the movies. They'd rather
wait for it to be on streaming and stay at
home and avoid all that stuff because it is a
waste of time. When I want to watch a movie,
for example, Uh, like there's a one pm show time,
(11:46):
I know, okay, it's not gonna start till one to thirty,
and that pushes my release date when I'm gonna get
out and pick up my daughter from daycare, and oftentimes
you can't do that because those DAN commercials are too long.
It's getting it too close. You're getting into my daddy
time away from my daughter time, and then have to
pick her up. And so I don't know, I think
this is a brilliant idea. Again, it doesn't harm anybody,
(12:07):
Like he says, if you want to watch the trailers,
if you want to get there early and get your seat,
get your popcorn, what have you, you have that freedom
to do that. He's just letting you know when the
actual movie starts. Okay, yeah, And the penalty if a
theater refuses to do this is let me see execution.
(12:27):
Now that might be a bit too much, just a
bit that might be a bit too much.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But that's what you added in right, add.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
An amendment to that, to that bill. I will be
up before or the rest of our lawmakers. Well. Speaking
about AMC, believe it or not, I'm a big fan
of AMC, believe it or not, even because you know,
like like family, you have to you have to, like
you know, rim up every now and then tease them
a little a little bit even. But that's all love
by AMC. Theaters. They're increasing the monthly subscription for their
(12:58):
stubs A loose it it depends. I know, when I
first saw the email a couple of days ago, I
was like, they try to sneak it in like a
trojan horse. They first tell you, oh, we're bringing these
big changes to a list stub subscriptions. Instead of three
movies for free that you can watch a week, it's four,
Like okay, it was good. That was good. You also
(13:20):
get you also get to choose. You can upload your
own profile to your own account, and so if you're
watching an R rating movie, you don't have to pull
out your license, your driver's license to show that you
are of age, which does help out when I'm carrying
popcorn or nuggets or curly fries and a drink. I'm
trying to juggle my wallet and my phone and get
(13:41):
that scanned and like trying to go. So that's good. Yeah,
I approve of that. And also they also they are
also doing something with I forget what the other option is,
but they're you know, they tell you all these new
cool things are doing. The last bullet point, however, says
oh yeah, prices are going up, like you can't no
lead with that, lead with the price for that. Yeah,
(14:04):
so users in New York and California, the increase will
go from twenty four to ninety five a month to
twenty seven ninety nine a month. However, for the rest
of us, including myself because we're here in Massachusetts, ours
goes up by a buck. So ours is already like
twenty four to ninety five is going up to twenty
five ninety five.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And that's a month.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
That's a month, so and that's you know, and so
everyone except for California and New York are getting them
the one dollar bump up while those two states are
getting well like extra three bucks bump.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So you know, AMC, if you have a if you
are an a Stubs Rewards member subscription subscriber, just know
these will go into effect on May seventh, I believe
May seventh.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Speaking of subscribers, you should subscribe to the Hub on
Hollywood right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, because we're also going to get this
fun news and vital information about the proposed laws and
also some really fun interactions and reviews regarding trailers and movies.
We watch things that are happening in Boston and New England,
films that are being shot, TV shows that are being
you know, spotted all over New.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
England casting calls. So we help you get into the movie. Yeah,
spend a day on set with Legs and Daia. Help
us help me exactly, help us, help you hit the
subscribe button, share like review all of those things, and
that helps us to keep growing and bringing this this
(15:36):
to you. And speaking of local stuff, yeah, that was
local Connecticut lawmaker. Do you see that happening in Massachusetts?
Do you see one of our lawmakers, you know, throwing
down the gauntlet and being like that is enough Nicole
Kidman for me, like Maria Minuno's move over.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, we're starting a war on Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Should they you know, should they bring that to the
last of New England? Let us know, let us know.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
What nationwide legislation, piece of legislation that I would support.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What it would be better than the other legislation.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That is, we're not going there, not going anyways, So
we are talking about some things that are coming our way.
Where we are going, and where we are going is
to the movie theaters to watch these films. Maybe not
both of them, but for sure for myself at least one.
And that is the first trailer dropped for the Fantastic
Four First Steps. During our last episode, I said, I'm
(16:34):
not looking forward to any real Marvel project except for
the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Brave New World. I'm not
really intrigued Thunderbolts. My interest is not peaked. However, the
Fantastic Four, sorry, Pedro Pascal, is very intriguing to me.
(16:55):
I'm very interested. And the trailer dropped, and so Jamie,
if you want to watch it with it, if you
want to us in case you haven't watched it is
it is on the help on Hollywood page, So if
you want to watch it on our channel, feel free
to do that. But we'll go ahead and start this
and we'll just just talk over it and see what
we like. First of all, the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yes, I really love that retro vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It was so good. The doctor Petrol looks.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So good in a suit, in everything really like.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
A wide out. The thing looks great.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, I think he looks better than previous iterations of
this time.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean the last Fantastic Four, the Bad Fantastic Four
came out five years ago. That was all cgi, but
this is much more comic accurate.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Right, not because it's not delicious.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I just want to add a little bit of z.
I like that that robot looks cool.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I love all the clean wine.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Before we get to the next trailer, listen to the music. Okay,
that's gonna pay it be important. That wasn't a rock
in the world right here, just looking the color is
the vibrancy of the sixties.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It's a very good job.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Joseph Quinn looking good, looking, hot.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Johnny is johnnying. I am right here.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Whatever life throws at us, face it together. I love
the retro. Love that retro look. Galactis as a family.
(18:40):
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Doo looks great?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Do you like twenty five?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It looks so it really does look so good. I'm
digging the retro look again. Pedro Pascal looking sharp as
ever as mister Fantastic. We didn't see him stretch. I
know that's been one of the the interesting parts regarding
the last Fantastic Four movies, just because of it's very
difficult for like, you know, trying to get past that
(19:10):
uncanny valley of watching somebody stretch, and so I think
maybe they're saving that for the next trailer because we
don't see any stretching here. We do see Sue Storm
the Invisible Woman going invisible using her force powers. The
thing again looking comic accurate, looking really good. I love
when he moves, you could feel like they you could
hear the rock grinding ye against itself. And also Johnny
(19:34):
Storm the Human flame, the human torch, He's you know,
it looks good to split second.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, So I think that this is going to be
a really fun one to watch. I'm digging the aesthetic.
But here's my question, so how does this fit into
the greater Marvel universe? Because we've seen a different actor
play mister Fantastic? What was it in Doctor Strange John
Chris right right, and he you know, got shredded to
(20:03):
ribbons like a cheese. So obviously he's not in that
role anymore. Is this a different universe? This is the
same universe is but I.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Think this is the six one, So I think the
MCU even though kem Figi said this is the six
one sixth universe, This MCU version is its own, like
you know, numerical universe that like is like the MCU
official version of it. John Krazinski's is a variant, a
different timeline, a different universe, and so I think this
is just you know, the main quote MCU timeline Fantastic
(20:37):
four again takes place during the sixties. I know people
were dissecting the trailer and there's one shot of the
chalkboard where it shows like this kind of like wormhole
where presumably it's going to be like some sort of
transteleportation where or you know, again time travel where the
Fantastic Four from the sixties they jumped to the present day.
(20:57):
So maybe that's at the very end they're gonna you know,
time jump and then they're going to interact with the
current timeline of the of the MCU.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So what calculating do we need to do to get
this wormhole to open up and just deliver Pedro Pascal
to us right here, right now for the podcast, oh man,
because you know that would be great if you I mean,
if we could just you know, first engineer that math
on the board and yeah, exactly, it's just right here.
(21:27):
If we had the animation budget right now, yeah, we would, uh,
we would make that happen.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If you know, at home, let us know, we want
to we want.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
To any theoretical.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Physic out there, Pedro Pascal, but uh yeah, Galactus also
the eater of worlds. That glimpse again. People are saying
it's just very comic accurate. I know in the comics
and the cartoons, he looks ridiculous because it's just like
this very huge tall man in this purple suit with
a really weird, funny looking helmet. But hey, make it.
It's gonna work. Yeah, I have full confidence in that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then it could work now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, So I think the trailer will. He sets the
tone of intrigue of Mystery of Wonder as well. So
I love the retro field but also the futuristic tech.
He's like that one car that looks futuristic like retro
and of another time that looked really great Space age,
space agey. Yeah, the sixties were all about that space race,
(22:20):
so I think that that may play a role in it. So,
and I like how it seems like they are already
like what's the word they are a household name because
that last shot shows them on a platform, they're in
their uniforms, they're like appearing to be on a talk
show of some sort. So I feel like they've been
in they've been the Fantastic Four for a while now, Okay,
(22:41):
so we don't have to go through the whole like, well,
they're maybe a flashback, but they're not going to go
through the whole like this is the origin, like we
are the start.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I like that that get to the pattern of yeah,
skip the origin story, just get to get to the
meat of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, because with Spider spider Man spider Man Holland's version,
you get right to the point. With with the New
Superman movie, they're getting right to the point. This is
like a year or two in of this Superman being
we know the origins, Yeah, we already know it. Like
for the Batman movies. We don't need another shot of
an Alley and Bruce Wayne's parents getting killed, like we
get it. Just just jump right into it. And I
(23:18):
think that's what James Gunn will do with the with
the DC universe when they introduced Spaman eventually. So I
think it's a good move. Again. So one thing I said,
pay attention to the music because I think this next
trailer came out and after as I was watching it
in my head, I was like, I feel like I've
watched this trailer already, but that's not possible because it
(23:40):
just came out. So for this, let me just make
sure we're good on time. Yeah, so let's watch this
is now. This is Jurassic World Rebirth and also a
trailer on the hob on Hollywood page. So go ahead
and check it out with us. But we'll go ahead
and start this and again, just just feel the feel
the tone.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
All right, let's go for it.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Doctor Henry Loomis, this is Zora Bennett, our mission specialists.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Sorry, what mission? It's Ferrero Medical Break Fiera from Wicked Lives.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It comes from the largest dinosaurs on the planet.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fortunately for us, all these species exist in one isolated place.
Can you do ready tomorrow? I can guarantee your safety,
I think more or less.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I don't trust Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He's your guy. We're the best that moving things and
people in an out of places they shouldn't be. This
is just an exposition of why I coop up towards
Barbados are pop Where are they going? Why are they
doing this that? No one's dumb enough to go where
we're going. If island was the which I do for
(24:52):
the original Elastic Park.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
We need DNA from the three biggest dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Do we have to get a sample from a egg.
I suppose we could try and get a food the parent,
But they're a flying carnival the size of an F sixteen.
Some tomb rad or action here apparently.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Looks like it. I don't know how I feel about
the CGA dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, they're not looking that great.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
These dinosaurs pretty island.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Those for the original park. Creos are thereafters.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The worst of the worst.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We got our big lad dinosaurs, the worst of the
worst dinosaurs. We have cans on the island again too.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, yet this feels like they you can't have a
Jurassic park, and we do about it, having the same
beats over and over again.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's Dinosaur Survival is a long shot. This park plays
me the most. What the hell are those they're helping
the Moses defend territory, stalk hunt. None of what you
just said is good these this this one's kind of hearbreaking,
(26:18):
just because like my boy Gareth Edwards, the director of Godzilla,
the director of Rogue One, the director of the Creator,
one of my favorite movies of last year. Yeah, he's
behind this. However, he's one of those directors where they
kind of like brought in while things were already in
place and the words storyboard already set up. They're like,
we already got the movie. We just want you to
(26:39):
we need somebody to direct it. And so at first
I was hopeful because he is so good at being
able to convey scale and like show like the scale
and and show like it puts you on the same
level as those on the screen when they're experiencing experiencing
something grand, or they're in the presence of something huge
(26:59):
like Godzilla or a big spaceship. So he's really good
at that. None of these scenes convey at all.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, No, I didn't get that that feeling at all.
And it seems like, you know, those those parts of
the movie that are more effective are those repeated beats,
are the ones that are in every Jurassic Park movie.
And it's like, Okay, we get it, like the shaking
water and the big footsteps and the flair and the flare,
(27:30):
but it's been done.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
The plots the entire the same, so like it appears
to be the same. A group of scientists they go
to this island with the dinosaurs, uh and and like
kind of like similar with the last one where they're
trying to find like they're trying to cure the locusts
play the dinosaur locusts plague. They had to they had
to get some dino DNA. These guys, they have to
go get dino DNA. Now now they're on the run.
(27:53):
They're running from the said dinosaurs. There's kids and families
on this island. Why are the families on this island?
And we'll get to that part o me, I guess
I'd get to that in a second. Immediately, I'm very
I'm very hot on this. None of what you just
said is good. So the reason they say that this
(28:18):
family is on this island is because, according to the plot,
a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding
aquatic dinosaurs. They become stranded on the island and so
these scientists now have to save this family, which is
again another just repeat of everything we've seen, Like there's
always a little kid somehow. Yeah, now they have to
(28:39):
they have to eskip the dinosaurs. Things go wrong, People say,
oh no, you can't go there because like the it's
a stupid thing to do. Yeah, people go there. Again.
The jokes they are not landing with me. Like for example,
when the when the very first one where they're like
I can protect you more or less, the guy's like
more or less, and then the other one are like
(29:00):
they're helping the mossa sore, defend territory, stock and hunt.
None of what you just said is good, like yeah, no,
like you're getting surrounded by murder dinosaurs. Now, it's not
the time to be quippy. It feels very MCU kind
of quippi, like yes, that just happened, or like it's
right behind me, isn't it kind of a right, right.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's not like a natural reaction there, And I think
what was great about the original was that natural terror
and fear, especially in the child actors. It wasn't so
much about the words, right it was it was about
the reaction. It was about the emotion. It was about
the fear. But oh my goodness, no way, and then
(29:43):
you get attacked by CGI dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, these dinosaurs don't look that good. Again. Granted
this is the trailer. They can still have time to
I don't know, increase the resolution. I don't know what
you do with this stuff, but I didn't want to
bring up the music. I swear it is so similar
to Fantastic four of this trailer. But no, no, no, no,
no no, dun dun dun't dun dun't dun no no no.
(30:08):
Like I again, when I watched this trailer, I'm like,
I feel like I've seen this already, and then sure
enough I watched the Fantastic four one. It's like, it's
the same music. Yeah, it's If not, it's very very similar.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Is it the same composer?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Because I should go I should look at it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I should look at it. But it's it's Disney and
it's Universal Studios, so not the same studios doing it
in Fantastic four and uh and Drastic World. But one
of my favorite reviewers was saying, you have one of
the coolest things that everybody universally, universally loves, and that
is dinosaurs. You could do anything with these guys. Put
(30:50):
put him like put him in America. I find a
different story with it. Instead of having to go to
another island, another island that wasn't mentioned previously in any
of the other movies, but this one, this is all
the really big bad ones, and we had to go
there specifically for Dono Dna to cure cancer or something.
(31:11):
I don't know. It just this is very disappointing.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, I kind of I felt that from from the
trailer as well. And you know how you are just
burnt out on like I'm see you, and even like
in general, sure I am burnt out on Scarlett Johansson.
I just I can't see her in anything else.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, no, not you know, not a.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Personal attack on her, but she's just in so many
movies and I'm like, it just takes me out of
it just.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Seeing Yeah, I think she is good. It's just like
the writing, like a lot of like even the a
lot of the Marvel stuff, they don't give her the
best stuff to work with, and she does as best
as she can. I think she's a good act She's
really good. And but like they're in this, it doesn't
work the character trait, the quippiness of being a smart
ass while dinosaurs are chasing you, Like you don't get
(31:59):
that in the original Jurassic Park. And I'm not saying
every movie needs to be like that, even though they
all mimic the same plot. It can be it could
have his moments of levity and whennot because the Drastic
Park does have that, but like these character like the
character description is like a quippy, rough and tough shoot
him up. Woman is gonna be protecting this guy and
(32:21):
he's a nervous, nerdy scientist who doesn't know his way
around and look at the hiagens.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That actor too, who plays he was in Wicked. He
played Piero in Wicked.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I watch it, but yeah, I believe I really like.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Him as an actor. He's a Broadway performer. His name
is escaping me right now, So I mean I would
love to go see the movie for him.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
But two, when you have these movies with the scenarios,
with the gigantic you know, CGI battles and fights and
things like that, and then they survive things that are
completely and utterly unsurvivable, it makes it unwatchable for me. No,
So as long as, however, they are not dino whispering
(33:07):
like they were in the last series, like Chris, you know,
like this is gonna just stop the raptors. Yeah, you know,
it could be better, probably possibly than the previous series
of films.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
But what do you think about the mutant dinosaur because
like you saw the one that was like in it's
in that flashy cave.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
They just gonna let let dead dinos die, like stop
beating a dead t rex or whatever that is right there,
So yeah, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah so not. They're going into like the again, this
is like the the island where all the real bad dinosaurs,
the big ones were made, and they're really experimenting on
these these ones and this one it looks like it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
This is me. Why do you keep getting in the
cave the freak thing? Why why do they keep doing it?
And then they're like, oh, let me out, me out
so soon you're dumb, You're gonna you're gonna get eaten.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
One comedian.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
One comedian was saying, like when you make these dinosaur
enclosures or wherever they're being held, like put them in
the ground and like find out how high they can
jump and just make it like higher than that and
put like a fence over it, like there's no need
to go in there. Don't put it on flat ground
where they could just jump over a fence or break
through a fence or what have you.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Like some basic engineering, some planning, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah we spared no expense, Yes you did, you did
spare all the expenses, you jerk, But yeah, the who
is it Jonathan Bailey or Rupert Friend Bailey? Yeah, Jonathan
Bailey is doctor Henry Loomis. Let us know what you think.
What are your thoughts on Jurassic World Rebirth? What are
your thoughts on the Fantastic four First Steps Again? I'm
(34:48):
excited for Fantastic four, fan four, I'm a fan for
Baby Yeah, but Jurassic World again. I love Gareth Edwards.
I think he's a He's a great I great direction
and you know, he's directed some of my favorite movies
of the past like ten or fifteen years. But however,
(35:09):
it's my understanding he was brought on to direct this
film without that much time. Like, for example, Godzilla, he
got pulled on put onto that movie three years before
it came out. He had three years to work on
it from the ground up for the Creator two years before,
for Rogue One two years before that as well, so
he had time to like put his own personality interests,
(35:31):
dono DNA into it and make it how he envisioned it.
But with how this rolled out, it's my understanding is
that the studio already had again the storyboard, laid out
the characters, laid out what beats they wanted to hit
what angles and dinosaurs, and so they just needed somebody
to be in the chair.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Is it one of these franchises that it's so big
that it's really it's the studio execs that are shooting
or making the calls, and you know, like Star Wars,
Star Wars, like the Rise of Skywalker that was all
like studio execs like, oh, this will do well with
this demographic, and like it wasn't a story from the heart,
(36:09):
you know, it was a corporate crapfest. Is this one
of those that is just too big to succeed?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
If they know they make money, they make money.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
It doesn't necessarily right now.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I think just a different story, just a different plot
of scientists going on an island the game chased by dinosaurs, Like,
don't do that again, You've done it for five times,
stop it.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
So what would what do you think would be a
good alternative plot?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I did like when they pitched or the trailer came
out for Jurassic World and it'd showed like the dinosaurs
are now roaming around the world now and they had
shots of like the dinosaur walking in front of like
a drive in theater, or they had a dinosaur walking
past a pool or you know, like they're in the
(36:58):
real world with humans. There may escape the show that
one big swimming dinosaur like in the waves and there's
a swimmers a surfer, and then behind it you can
see the silhouette of like, Okay, that's very interesting. But
then in that one with Chris Pratt, yeah, they were
like in Morocco or wherever, being chased by velociraptors on motorcycles.
But then they end up back on an island doing
(37:20):
the exact same thing. Game chased by dinosaurs. It all
ends that way. And so just let them, you know,
roam free in the world and tell a story in
that direction.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I don't know, I'd love that. Your kid playing if
you have to have a kid in the movie, you know,
your kid playing in your backyard and you hear something
rustling in the back You're like, oh my god, is
it a bear?
Speaker 1 (37:39):
No? Yeah, but it's got billy yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And the like world police are trying to contain or
control the spread of the dinosaur. That's a way more
interesting movie.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Story.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
So I'm trying to think what movies I can merge
with Jurassic Park, because you know, like they wanted to
combine Men in Black with with twenty one Jump Street
with like Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. They wanted to do,
like what if Jonah Hill and and Channing Tatum answered
the the like those characters, Yeah, enter Man in Black
like that would be a hilarious thing. That's difference, that's different,
(38:15):
and I'm down to give that a shot. Like I'm
trying to think of what movie you can merge with
with with the Drastic World, Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Cocaine Bear.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, I see, I've watched Shark Nato, Shark Dino Nato.
All right, let's get started on Steven Spielberg.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Again, the quality ideas that you get here on the
Hub on Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
We're bringing it back. Well, if you're not excited to
watch Jurassic World Rebirth, there are some movies that are
coming out on Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day, which I
think expanions whether they're uh yeah, but the question is
right whether or not they are actually romantic or whether
they are a.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Good date movie. I'm sure that they're a good date movie,
depending on whether you think that this is a good
relationship or a bad relationship. The first being Do Do
Do Do Do Do? Heart Eyes, which is a splasher movie. Yeah,
it's a it's a horror movie. It follows two co
(39:20):
workers who are working on Valentine's Day night and they
get mistaken for a couple by the slasher, by this
murderer who is Hard Eyes, and then they have to
spend the entire night fighting to survive because this to
outrun this killer who just loves to kill couples.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Kill them.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, exactly, Hard Eyes. I don't know how romantic a
slasher is. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Is it the same universe as Long Legs Not?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Not entirely. Sure, No, But if you're going out on
a like a first date, I don't know about Like
I know my husband would like that, but like what
about your wife? Like, as a girl, I'm not looking
for a slasher movie on my first That makes me
feel like, Okay, is this guy, like does.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
He want to kill me?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
What's with this?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Is he trying to murder me on our date?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah? So, but you know some people like.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Her kind of that I heard, I'm lying. I didn't
hear that. It's good movie. I saw a thumbnail of
this guy doing this, so that so maybe it's a
good movie. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
We love our Thumbnails. And then the other movie that's
out is Love Hurts starring Oscar winner Kihi Kwan. We
love him. This is his first like leading man role
action adventure. He's like a real estate agent who gets
wrapped up in something nefarious and he has to fight
(40:48):
his way away from these like assassins. It looks fun
that one. I would actually love to give a give
a watch too. I am pro connaissance. Yeah, I love him,
want to see him in more things, but get action adventure.
I'm not sure where the love part comes in.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
He loves to beat people love to.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
But that one I think at least has more entertainment value.
And then everything else out there, it just kind of
seems like very slashery. Yeah, what you know, where's the
national consciousness? You know, right right now, where's the love?
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Well, I'll tell you who who has this love hate relationship.
It's Captain America and the Red Hulk because that actually
comes out on Valentine's Day. Yeah, this one again, Captain America,
Brave New World. It could be good. I'm just not
going to be there the first opening weekend one because
I'm going to be very busy during that time. But yeah,
(41:48):
I'm not gonna be rushing to the movie theaters to
watch this, are you?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
This is a continuation of James just hating on things
that I love you, Harrison, I know, no, but you
know I get it. I get it. I get it.
But you know, I'm probably gonna be there for my
man's I'm gonna go see Red Hulks. Yeah, Yeah, what
did you hear?
Speaker 1 (42:11):
I just heard that they had so many reshoots and
like that's like it doesn't bode well, Like, it doesn't.
It doesn't bode well for like confidence of wanting to
see this that they had to do a lot of
like like two months or so of reshoots because the
first version wasn't good. Yeah, and so like hopefully they
were able to like rearrange it, rearrange this puzzle piece
(42:32):
of a movie together to be good. There. They they
should stick the landing because this is like like the
rebirth of the MCU. They need to relaunch on a
very strong foot because the past movies and enthusiasm has
been waning.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
So so two quick things. I love Anthony Mackie. I
think that there is hope for this film from the trailers.
I'm not a big fan of Hulks in general. I
don't know how that part's going to play out, but
I think that Anthony Mack He's got the dramatic part down.
He's a good Captain America. I enjoy him thoroughly. The
(43:12):
other thing I wanted to say was about Harrison. So
Harrison had just come out and you know, the last
Indiana Jones movie famously flap flopped in the in the theaters,
and he had come out and said that he does
not care. You know, he thought there was another Indiana
Jones movie to be told. He was happy to be
a part of it and he doesn't care that and
(43:32):
he got paid. And then talking about this one Captain
America Brave New World here, he said that he signed
on without seeing a script and people had asked him
about it, like, Harrison, why did you sign on so quickly?
He's like, you know, it doesn't take a rocket scientist
to see I've seen a lot of other actors. Yeah right.
(43:53):
He makes that joke a lot, but he's like, I've
seen a lot of other actors that I really respect.
Signing onto these movie. He's just having fun And I
think at this point in his career, in this point
in his life, he's like, I don't give an f anymore,
and I'm just in it for for the fun and
the fun for those of us who for those of
you who.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Can't see what James is, I'm making them. He's rubbing
my fingers together.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
He's counting the Benjamin's over here.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, to be fun. To be fair. Also, I don't
think he's cared for the past forty years. He's like
one of those guys like I don't care. I know
I can be in whatever movie and it'll be great
or you know, or are it'll be good for my
bank account. So I don't think he's cared for a
long time. But yeah, I do. I do appreciate the
honesty of even though I said he was a liar
last week, Yeah, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
It's a it's a paradox.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
He's so honest with being so blase about things while
also being a liar and a shill for the MC
by denying rumors that he was the Red Hulk. Do
you think they should have kept I mean, there's no
way they keep that secret the Red Hulk.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
No, I mean they try, but then people like Yeah,
it's sometimes it's necessary to lie. But no, this kind
of this, I think in the No, they couldn't keep
that a secret.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
And you need that trailer because yeah, yeah, because you
have the highlight who the villain is or like he's
that conflict. Yeah, because I know the guy from Breaking Bad.
I'm blanking on his name right now, but like he's
going to be one of the main antagonists. But I
don't think he'll like sell tickets if he's just like, Okay,
he's a who's who's this guy? You need a big monster? Yeah,
(45:34):
big monster to fight exactly, all right, Well, I do,
like I will say I'm ending on this note. I
we'll say that I do like how they are keeping
the enemy like power and strength, different from the hero
because many movies they do the same thing. Were Like
in Iron Man movies, Tony Sark is usually fighting another
kind of Iron Man or like another robot of sorts,
(45:55):
or like with with thor H he's usually fighting like
another kind of like another god or something, and so
you see a lot of that. But yeah, so this
is a very interesting versus you know, a man with
wings and a shield versus a big monster.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah, and he doesn't have any superpowers.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Really, he's just Ham, which is technically like magic.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, I mean a lot of it is like magic.
But yes, yeah, yeah, I want some vibranium. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yeah. Anyways, all right, well you know what else is cool?
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Cine quotes cineques Alright, bump.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
But up up up up but up? But uh?
Speaker 2 (46:33):
I like, is that the official theme song for a cinquotes?
I'm digging it?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
All right.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
We've done very well previous weeks.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Yeah, we are on a six game winning streak, and
that's because we have not done a Sunday stump, which
are notoriously harder and difficult. But yeah, well we're doing
number number seven eighty five cente quote. In case you
are not familiar, this is a game where you are
provided quotes five up to five quotes, and you have
(47:01):
to guess when the movie is based on it. It
starts off kind of you know, hard, but then oh
sorry easy or vice versa hard, and then it gets
easier because it gets like yeah, the last quote is
usually liked like oh yeah or something like that, or
like I'll be back like okay, I know it is so,
but we're gonna try to get this one. So this
is today's game. We're gonna start with quote number one.
(47:25):
Oh do you like to steal of my blade? It's
so cold? Oh? You like the steal of my blade?
It's so cold? Yeah, I don't know. Let's play the
more time.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
It sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Oh do you like to steal of my blade? It's
so cold? It sounds like a comedy.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Yeah, yeah, I have no guesses at this point.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
No guess. Let's go to the next quote and then
the three to one. We have been trapped for forty
five years and now.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Oh my gosh, I'm not sure I've been trapped for
forty five years.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Who's trapped for forty five years?
Speaker 2 (48:12):
See? Is it a comedy? Or is it just a
bad movie? I know? Well, uh, because I was leaning
towards something like Dodgeball to begin with.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Oh yeah, okay, next quote, fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Questions, Yes, are you nuts?
Speaker 1 (48:37):
I don't want to steal drugs from my father. I
don't want to go inside a monster, and.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I don't want to die.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I think it's worth a shot.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Yes, I agree, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
I don't know either.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
This is this is interesting?
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
But no, I can't even make a guess.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
It's not like Goonies or something, is it. I mean
you can try.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Yes, I've never actually watched Goonies.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Yeah, thank you. Let's try it. Let's see, let's see
three two one. I'm thinking maybe Goonies. I don't think
it's the gooniest. I don't think it's the Goonies. But
we haven't guests on anything.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Yeah, so I've never actually watched the Goonies, which is
a crime. And I actually met one of the makeup
artists from the Goonies who was working on Knives Out,
and he spoke Spanish. I spoke Spanish. We bonded like
we were BFFs on the set in Spanish.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Checks out. That checks out.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
Let's try it.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
But I apologize to him. I'm sorry. No, So yeah, okay's.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
On your list. Now back to okay quite number four
three two one? What is it? Well, if those are
the teeth and that's the top, then that must be
the uula.
Speaker 2 (50:13):
So it's a girl house.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Oh my god, No, it stimulates the gag reflects. Everyone
has a euvula.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
Oh me, I don't know what the hell it's ridiculous though,
So a monster house?
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Is this like a is there a movie called a
monster house? Like kids were like.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Give it a shot?
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Or is there like a Goosebumps movie Monster House two
thousand and six.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
I don't know if Goosebumps would make those Oh.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
Guess you know it's funny. Yeah, this pops in my
head because like obviously, because they're saying like, oh, this
house has a uvula or teeth, like okay, so this
house is alive and it popped in my head like months,
feel like I've seen a trailer or something years.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Ago Monster House that you saved us?
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Did you get it? Did you know his monster House?
Of course you did because you're smart because you watched
the Hub on Hollywood and subscribe. So yeah, that was cool.
That was fun on a high note. Okay, let us
know what you think again. We've covered so many cool topics,
including the trailers of Fantastic Four and Jurassic World. Are
we wrong? Did you hate Fantastic four trailer? And did
(51:25):
you love the Jurassic World one? Calming down below? Also,
what do you think about the Lawmaker? The hero, the
man among men who is trying to make sure we
are not wasting our time, our valuable time with tradolists, trailers, commercials, promos,
Nicole Kidman at the movie, you out at the movie theater. Also,
(51:48):
is your heart just as broken as Jamies is regarding
One Piece and it's continually delaying? Really estate of.
Speaker 2 (51:58):
It's of season two? And is James to blame? Please
let me know if you hope you are hope everybody
send your hate hate mail to fill.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
Our comments with with hate mail. I think the algorithm,
it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter at all, and I think.
Speaker 3 (52:21):
That's everything exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Yeah, thanks for watching, Thanks for subscribing. If you are
listening to us on any of the major podcasting streaming
services like iHeartRadio, like Spotify, like Apple Podcasts, leave us
a five star review, give us some love, and we
will love.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
You back exactly until next week. I'm Jamie, I'm James
This is the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast. I'm
your co host James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This week's episode, the first trailers of the Fantastic Four
and Jurassic World Rebirth are out. One looks fantastic One
looks like a dusty old bag of bones. Which one
am I talking about. We'll find out. A lawmaker in
Connecticut is trying to give back the control to movie
theater goers. And also some Valentine themed movies. Are they
(00:39):
really Valentine themed love themed movies? We will find out.
But first, Jamie, you're gonna be Jerry. It's me. I
understand because I've done something unthinkable.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Unforgivable, unforgivable. So I would just like to start this
segment in this episode by saying, how dare you? I mean,
how dare you speak into the universe? For anybody who's
been following us recently, you know that I'm a fan
of One Piece and the One Piece Live Action on
Netflix they have Oh my God, Oh my God, James
(01:17):
and this one. Mister James Rohans in one of our
last episodes was like, oh, you love it so much,
what if it gets delayed? What are you gonna do
if it gets delayed.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Because you have this project, yes, this ongoing project.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I have an ongoing project, both exactly where I
am drawing one one piece character every week until one
Piece Season two comes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Out, which is a right on the corner, right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Kick you off the stage. So we just heard this week.
This week, February fourth, Netflix announced that Season two has
wrapped filming, has just wrapped filming, which is different from
what we thought. We thought they had wrapped in December,
and given that it takes about a year turnaround for
these seasons to come out, it was the first season
(02:05):
filmed August twenty third. August twenty twenty three is when
they wrapped, and August twenty twenty four is when it
came out, So we can presume, James. We can presume
also Netflix came out with their slate of movies and
TV shows for twenty twenty five, their preview One Piece
(02:27):
was not a part of that. So we can presume, James,
that the malice that you spoken to the universe and
wove into creation is that one Piece has been bumped
till twenty twenty six, Episode two, a Season two.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Release, Well, at least we all get to see more
of your creativity come to light. And that's exactly what
I wanted.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
For, uh, for us, Yeah, that's what you were going for.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, because your videos are popular.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If you haven't seen videos on our TikTok or Instagram
or YouTube. Yeah, Jamie has a time lapse videos of
her creating one of the plethora of characters in One Piece,
and they're really good.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that. I'm still mad, but
I think the good news is we're not gonna have
to wait that much longer. I'm definitely being over dramatic.
It's most likely going to be an early twenty twenty
six release, and you're right, I'll draw some more so
will excuse you?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So, don't you dare?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Before we started, I was asking because I know very
little about One Piece. I've heard some things, but we
discussed that on a previous episode. But yes, one thing
I'm talking about is the one piece itself itself, so
it's it's treasure, but nobody knows what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
People don't know if it's one literal piece of de
Bloom or if one piece is like a giant mountain
trove of like of gold and jewels. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It could be, It could be, It could be anything,
so I think, and that's a big part of the
story itself, is that for twenty over twenty years, people
have been searching for Gold Rogers treasure. They've been searching
for the King of the Pirates treasure, and anyone who
finds it becomes the King of the.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Pirates, and Gold Rogers is dead for sure, Yes, for sure?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh yeah, okay, he dead dead. He's executed at the
very beginning all of all of this. I don't want
to get into spoilers about why he's super super dead.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Spoilers on this twenty year old story that's never really ongoing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, is ongoing. It's been going for twenty five years,
and no one has found the one piece, So we
don't know if it's We don't know if it's treasure
or what other people theorize it could be it's the
friends we made along the way.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
If it does that, I'm not having watch about. I
be pissed off now that kind of okay. So one
thing that bugs me is that like these never ending
quests with no definitive end, Yeah, First, do you imagine
this series ending like if it's not up to like
the creator or whatever, TV rights or whatever, like, do
you imagine it continuing on literally for perpetuity?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Look, I think the only man and limiting. I think
the only thing limiting the one piece universe and story
is Hida's lifespan. The man is getting older. He cannot
live forever. But if he could, if Oda could live forever,
this story would go on.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And he's writing forever comic version of it, like the Yeah,
he's the mangaca.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
He's the one who writes the manga.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I do have the censor of that mango. So he
so he does the the manga and then that gets
translated into the one piece the anime anime.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Correct, Okay, that's right, So he's the author.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Do you imagine like on his deathbed or maybe he
has already written it out or drawn it out or
what have you that like when his heart takes its
final beat and it stops like like this safe will
automatically open open and then like a one piece goal,
spotlight shines on the script and like, oh here it is.
Do you think that will happen? Or will he die?
(06:05):
Will he take one piece with better not to the grave.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, look, we've all been rooting for his health. He
had a little bit of a health scare this year,
and he's been taking better care of himself because this
story is it's approaching its end. At one point he
said that it was going to end before, but then
that that changed. I think he had retired, like very
temporarily at one point, and then he couldn't stand it.
So the story continues, and they have said that in
(06:33):
the next two ish years that Loofy will find the
one piece, or the one piece will be found. What
it will be, I don't know what it will mean
for the story. I don't know. But this world is
so expansive and detailed and tremendous, with so many layers
and backstory and ford story and every which way you know,
(06:55):
I don't see it ending, even even when Oda does
eventually walk away from it. I hope, like you said,
like in a safe somewhere, he's got like all these
storylines and things where other people can pick up the
story and keep going with it. Because yes, look, this
is an anime, a manga in an anime that has
nearing twelve hundred episodes and I'm now on episode nine hundred,
(07:20):
nine hundred, I've finally gotten to and it doesn't feel
like enough. You would think at this point you would
be tired of it. That would be redundancy. Nay, nay,
there is not. And I'm slowing down now because i
don't want it to end.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm kind of tired of it. I don't know, I
don't even watch it. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
We got to get James into it, guy, But uh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, so may her fingers crossed for an early twenty
twenty six really please those Jamie will her fingers will
fall off from drawing too many cartoons. Well you know what.
You know what also drives people mad and crazy? Those
damn ads before every movie, seemingly that that run from
(08:02):
twenty to thirty minutes long before the movie starts. These
include the trailers, the popcorn concession ad and Nicole Kidman
telling us you're in a go to watch an AMC
movie while you are inside an AMC theaters and to
watch Imax when you are watching an IMAX movie, you're
in the theater seats already. There's a man amen, a hero,
(08:24):
a hero, so he's really doing the Lorri's work right now,
because he must, he must be a viewer of the podcast.
He must have heard my cries for help. Because there's
a lawmaker in Connecticut who is trying to stop the
time wasting. Stop wasting everyone's time. Senator Martin Looney of
New Haven, Connecticut. He's proposed a bill that would require
(08:48):
that each movie advertisement or listing included that there's a
scheduled set time. So not only do you know when
the trailers begin, you know exactly to the minute when
the movie will start. So when you go in, you're
not like bombarded by fifteen trailers, five commercials to Nicole Kidman,
(09:09):
back to back, which has happened numerous times. AMC one
thing you need to keep it. I don't know how
that happens.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I saw three Nicole Kidman who was in charge of Nicol.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They're in well. Senator Loney is trying to rain this
in because this would give people an advertised time of like, okay,
trailers start at X amount, at X time, and then
the movie starts right here, so you could just walk
in and not be surprised by all this time wasting.
He says, quote it seems to be an abuse, an
abuse of people's time, continuing continuing on to say, if
(09:43):
they want to get there early and watch the promos,
they can, but they just want But if they just
want to watch the feature, they ought to be able
to get there and just in time for that. Can
we have it?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Can we take a moment of applause for this man,
this American hero and.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Being so angry that all the other ills of society
fall to the wayside.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
One political issue that all in America cares.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
About, lawmakers bringing to the forefront exactly in his heroic way.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
A true hero.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They should make a movie about this man.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, we should make a movie about him, like his
character being in the movie theater and like movie after
movie just have like that PTSD like moments of like,
oh my god, when will this end?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And then he gets the brilliant idea to propose this.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So I know that you hate that, you hate it,
you know, and in support of you, you know, they
have been getting longer, longer and longer and longer. AMC says,
look on my web on the website, it says, you know,
be prepared for at least twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But it's like it's like thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, right, now. But I will say the one argument
that AMC has against this, okay, rather the theater people
folks in general, is that's where they make their money,
is it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's what they make the movie off trail.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But also like the movie and you know, the advertisements
before the movie and things like that. So they are arguing,
if you give people a set time for when exactly
the movie begins, then nobody's gonna watch the ads. Then
the people who pay for the ads are not gonna
want to pay as much anymore or at all, and
then movie theaters are gonna die and we'll never get
(11:23):
to watch movies again.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's their arguts spiral. They're creating a problem in hopes
of solving another one, but then that creates two more problems,
and then people don't go to the movies. They'd rather
wait for it to be on streaming and stay at
home and avoid all that stuff because it is a
waste of time. When I want to watch a movie,
for example, Uh, like there's a one pm show time,
(11:46):
I know, okay, it's not gonna start till one to thirty,
and that pushes my release date when I'm gonna get
out and pick up my daughter from daycare, and oftentimes
you can't do that because those DAN commercials are too long.
It's getting it too close. You're getting into my daddy
time away from my daughter time, and then have to
pick her up. And so I don't know, I think
this is a brilliant idea. Again, it doesn't harm anybody,
(12:07):
Like he says, if you want to watch the trailers,
if you want to get there early and get your seat,
get your popcorn, what have you, you have that freedom
to do that. He's just letting you know when the
actual movie starts. Okay, yeah, And the penalty if a
theater refuses to do this is let me see execution.
(12:27):
Now that might be a bit too much, just a
bit that might be a bit too much.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But that's what you added in right, add.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
An amendment to that, to that bill. I will be
up before or the rest of our lawmakers. Well. Speaking
about AMC, believe it or not, I'm a big fan
of AMC, believe it or not, even because you know,
like like family, you have to you have to, like
you know, rim up every now and then tease them
a little a little bit even. But that's all love
by AMC. Theaters. They're increasing the monthly subscription for their
(12:58):
stubs A loose it it depends. I know, when I
first saw the email a couple of days ago, I
was like, they try to sneak it in like a
trojan horse. They first tell you, oh, we're bringing these
big changes to a list stub subscriptions. Instead of three
movies for free that you can watch a week, it's four,
Like okay, it was good. That was good. You also
(13:20):
get you also get to choose. You can upload your
own profile to your own account, and so if you're
watching an R rating movie, you don't have to pull
out your license, your driver's license to show that you
are of age, which does help out when I'm carrying
popcorn or nuggets or curly fries and a drink. I'm
trying to juggle my wallet and my phone and get
(13:41):
that scanned and like trying to go. So that's good. Yeah,
I approve of that. And also they also they are
also doing something with I forget what the other option is,
but they're you know, they tell you all these new
cool things are doing. The last bullet point, however, says
oh yeah, prices are going up, like you can't no
lead with that, lead with the price for that. Yeah,
(14:04):
so users in New York and California, the increase will
go from twenty four to ninety five a month to
twenty seven ninety nine a month. However, for the rest
of us, including myself because we're here in Massachusetts, ours
goes up by a buck. So ours is already like
twenty four to ninety five is going up to twenty
five ninety five.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And that's a month.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
That's a month, so and that's you know, and so
everyone except for California and New York are getting them
the one dollar bump up while those two states are
getting well like extra three bucks bump.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So you know, AMC, if you have a if you
are an a Stubs Rewards member subscription subscriber, just know
these will go into effect on May seventh, I believe
May seventh.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Speaking of subscribers, you should subscribe to the Hub on
Hollywood right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, because we're also going to get this
fun news and vital information about the proposed laws and
also some really fun interactions and reviews regarding trailers and movies.
We watch things that are happening in Boston and New England,
films that are being shot, TV shows that are being
you know, spotted all over New.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
England casting calls. So we help you get into the movie. Yeah,
spend a day on set with Legs and Daia. Help
us help me exactly, help us, help you hit the
subscribe button, share like review all of those things, and
that helps us to keep growing and bringing this this
(15:36):
to you. And speaking of local stuff, yeah, that was
local Connecticut lawmaker. Do you see that happening in Massachusetts?
Do you see one of our lawmakers, you know, throwing
down the gauntlet and being like that is enough Nicole
Kidman for me, like Maria Minuno's move over.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, we're starting a war on Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Should they you know, should they bring that to the
last of New England? Let us know, let us know.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
What nationwide legislation, piece of legislation that I would support.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What it would be better than the other legislation.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That is, we're not going there, not going anyways, So
we are talking about some things that are coming our way.
Where we are going, and where we are going is
to the movie theaters to watch these films. Maybe not
both of them, but for sure for myself at least one.
And that is the first trailer dropped for the Fantastic
Four First Steps. During our last episode, I said, I'm
(16:34):
not looking forward to any real Marvel project except for
the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Brave New World. I'm not
really intrigued Thunderbolts. My interest is not peaked. However, the
Fantastic Four, sorry, Pedro Pascal, is very intriguing to me.
(16:55):
I'm very interested. And the trailer dropped, and so Jamie,
if you want to watch it with it, if you
want to us in case you haven't watched it is
it is on the help on Hollywood page, So if
you want to watch it on our channel, feel free
to do that. But we'll go ahead and start this
and we'll just just talk over it and see what
we like. First of all, the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yes, I really love that retro vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It was so good. The doctor Petrol looks.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So good in a suit, in everything really like.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
A wide out. The thing looks great.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, I think he looks better than previous iterations of
this time.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean the last Fantastic Four, the Bad Fantastic Four
came out five years ago. That was all cgi, but
this is much more comic accurate.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Right, not because it's not delicious.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I just want to add a little bit of z.
I like that that robot looks cool.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I love all the clean wine.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Before we get to the next trailer, listen to the music. Okay,
that's gonna pay it be important. That wasn't a rock
in the world right here, just looking the color is
the vibrancy of the sixties.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It's a very good job.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Joseph Quinn looking good, looking, hot.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Johnny is johnnying. I am right here.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Whatever life throws at us, face it together. I love
the retro. Love that retro look. Galactis as a family.
(18:40):
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Doo looks great?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Do you like twenty five?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It looks so it really does look so good. I'm
digging the retro look again. Pedro Pascal looking sharp as
ever as mister Fantastic. We didn't see him stretch. I
know that's been one of the the interesting parts regarding
the last Fantastic Four movies, just because of it's very
difficult for like, you know, trying to get past that
(19:10):
uncanny valley of watching somebody stretch, and so I think
maybe they're saving that for the next trailer because we
don't see any stretching here. We do see Sue Storm
the Invisible Woman going invisible using her force powers. The
thing again looking comic accurate, looking really good. I love
when he moves, you could feel like they you could
hear the rock grinding ye against itself. And also Johnny
(19:34):
Storm the Human flame, the human torch, He's you know,
it looks good to split second.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, So I think that this is going to be
a really fun one to watch. I'm digging the aesthetic.
But here's my question, so how does this fit into
the greater Marvel universe? Because we've seen a different actor
play mister Fantastic? What was it in Doctor Strange John
Chris right right, and he you know, got shredded to
(20:03):
ribbons like a cheese. So obviously he's not in that
role anymore. Is this a different universe? This is the
same universe is but I.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Think this is the six one, So I think the
MCU even though kem Figi said this is the six
one sixth universe, This MCU version is its own, like
you know, numerical universe that like is like the MCU
official version of it. John Krazinski's is a variant, a
different timeline, a different universe, and so I think this
is just you know, the main quote MCU timeline Fantastic
(20:37):
four again takes place during the sixties. I know people
were dissecting the trailer and there's one shot of the
chalkboard where it shows like this kind of like wormhole
where presumably it's going to be like some sort of
transteleportation where or you know, again time travel where the
Fantastic Four from the sixties they jumped to the present day.
(20:57):
So maybe that's at the very end they're gonna you know,
time jump and then they're going to interact with the
current timeline of the of the MCU.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So what calculating do we need to do to get
this wormhole to open up and just deliver Pedro Pascal
to us right here, right now for the podcast, oh man,
because you know that would be great if you I mean,
if we could just you know, first engineer that math
on the board and yeah, exactly, it's just right here.
(21:27):
If we had the animation budget right now, yeah, we would, uh,
we would make that happen.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If you know, at home, let us know, we want
to we want.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
To any theoretical.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Physic out there, Pedro Pascal, but uh yeah, Galactus also
the eater of worlds. That glimpse again. People are saying
it's just very comic accurate. I know in the comics
and the cartoons, he looks ridiculous because it's just like
this very huge tall man in this purple suit with
a really weird, funny looking helmet. But hey, make it.
It's gonna work. Yeah, I have full confidence in that.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then it could work now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, So I think the trailer will. He sets the
tone of intrigue of Mystery of Wonder as well. So
I love the retro field but also the futuristic tech.
He's like that one car that looks futuristic like retro
and of another time that looked really great Space age,
space agey. Yeah, the sixties were all about that space race,
(22:20):
so I think that that may play a role in it. So,
and I like how it seems like they are already
like what's the word they are a household name because
that last shot shows them on a platform, they're in
their uniforms, they're like appearing to be on a talk
show of some sort. So I feel like they've been
in they've been the Fantastic Four for a while now, Okay,
(22:41):
so we don't have to go through the whole like, well,
they're maybe a flashback, but they're not going to go
through the whole like this is the origin, like we
are the start.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I like that that get to the pattern of yeah,
skip the origin story, just get to get to the
meat of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, because with Spider spider Man spider Man Holland's version,
you get right to the point. With with the New
Superman movie, they're getting right to the point. This is
like a year or two in of this Superman being
we know the origins, Yeah, we already know it. Like
for the Batman movies. We don't need another shot of
an Alley and Bruce Wayne's parents getting killed, like we
get it. Just just jump right into it. And I
(23:18):
think that's what James Gunn will do with the with
the DC universe when they introduced Spaman eventually. So I
think it's a good move. Again. So one thing I said,
pay attention to the music because I think this next
trailer came out and after as I was watching it
in my head, I was like, I feel like I've
watched this trailer already, but that's not possible because it
(23:40):
just came out. So for this, let me just make
sure we're good on time. Yeah, so let's watch this
is now. This is Jurassic World Rebirth and also a
trailer on the hob on Hollywood page. So go ahead
and check it out with us. But we'll go ahead
and start this and again, just just feel the feel
the tone.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
All right, let's go for it.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Doctor Henry Loomis, this is Zora Bennett, our mission specialists.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Sorry, what mission? It's Ferrero Medical Break Fiera from Wicked Lives.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It comes from the largest dinosaurs on the planet.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fortunately for us, all these species exist in one isolated place.
Can you do ready tomorrow? I can guarantee your safety,
I think more or less.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I don't trust Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He's your guy. We're the best that moving things and
people in an out of places they shouldn't be. This
is just an exposition of why I coop up towards
Barbados are pop Where are they going? Why are they
doing this that? No one's dumb enough to go where
we're going. If island was the which I do for
(24:52):
the original Elastic Park.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
We need DNA from the three biggest dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Do we have to get a sample from a egg.
I suppose we could try and get a food the parent,
But they're a flying carnival the size of an F sixteen.
Some tomb rad or action here apparently.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Looks like it. I don't know how I feel about
the CGA dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, they're not looking that great.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
These dinosaurs pretty island.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Those for the original park. Creos are thereafters.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The worst of the worst.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We got our big lad dinosaurs, the worst of the
worst dinosaurs. We have cans on the island again too.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, yet this feels like they you can't have a
Jurassic park, and we do about it, having the same
beats over and over again.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's Dinosaur Survival is a long shot. This park plays
me the most. What the hell are those they're helping
the Moses defend territory, stalk hunt. None of what you
just said is good these this this one's kind of hearbreaking,
(26:18):
just because like my boy Gareth Edwards, the director of Godzilla,
the director of Rogue One, the director of the Creator,
one of my favorite movies of last year. Yeah, he's
behind this. However, he's one of those directors where they
kind of like brought in while things were already in
place and the words storyboard already set up. They're like,
we already got the movie. We just want you to
(26:39):
we need somebody to direct it. And so at first
I was hopeful because he is so good at being
able to convey scale and like show like the scale
and and show like it puts you on the same
level as those on the screen when they're experiencing experiencing
something grand, or they're in the presence of something huge
(26:59):
like Godzilla or a big spaceship. So he's really good
at that. None of these scenes convey at all.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, No, I didn't get that that feeling at all.
And it seems like, you know, those those parts of
the movie that are more effective are those repeated beats,
are the ones that are in every Jurassic Park movie.
And it's like, Okay, we get it, like the shaking
water and the big footsteps and the flair and the flare,
(27:30):
but it's been done.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
The plots the entire the same, so like it appears
to be the same. A group of scientists they go
to this island with the dinosaurs, uh and and like
kind of like similar with the last one where they're
trying to find like they're trying to cure the locusts
play the dinosaur locusts plague. They had to they had
to get some dino DNA. These guys, they have to
go get dino DNA. Now now they're on the run.
(27:53):
They're running from the said dinosaurs. There's kids and families
on this island. Why are the families on this island?
And we'll get to that part o me, I guess
I'd get to that in a second. Immediately, I'm very
I'm very hot on this. None of what you just
said is good. So the reason they say that this
(28:18):
family is on this island is because, according to the plot,
a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding
aquatic dinosaurs. They become stranded on the island and so
these scientists now have to save this family, which is
again another just repeat of everything we've seen, Like there's
always a little kid somehow. Yeah, now they have to
(28:39):
they have to eskip the dinosaurs. Things go wrong, People say,
oh no, you can't go there because like the it's
a stupid thing to do. Yeah, people go there. Again.
The jokes they are not landing with me. Like for example,
when the when the very first one where they're like
I can protect you more or less, the guy's like
more or less, and then the other one are like
(29:00):
they're helping the mossa sore, defend territory, stock and hunt.
None of what you just said is good, like yeah, no,
like you're getting surrounded by murder dinosaurs. Now, it's not
the time to be quippy. It feels very MCU kind
of quippi, like yes, that just happened, or like it's
right behind me, isn't it kind of a right, right.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's not like a natural reaction there, And I think
what was great about the original was that natural terror
and fear, especially in the child actors. It wasn't so
much about the words, right it was it was about
the reaction. It was about the emotion. It was about
the fear. But oh my goodness, no way, and then
(29:43):
you get attacked by CGI dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, these dinosaurs don't look that good. Again. Granted
this is the trailer. They can still have time to
I don't know, increase the resolution. I don't know what
you do with this stuff, but I didn't want to
bring up the music. I swear it is so similar
to Fantastic four of this trailer. But no, no, no, no,
no no, dun dun dun't dun dun't dun no no no.
(30:08):
Like I again, when I watched this trailer, I'm like,
I feel like I've seen this already, and then sure
enough I watched the Fantastic four one. It's like, it's
the same music. Yeah, it's If not, it's very very similar.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Is it the same composer?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Because I should go I should look at it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I should look at it. But it's it's Disney and
it's Universal Studios, so not the same studios doing it
in Fantastic four and uh and Drastic World. But one
of my favorite reviewers was saying, you have one of
the coolest things that everybody universally, universally loves, and that
is dinosaurs. You could do anything with these guys. Put
(30:50):
put him like put him in America. I find a
different story with it. Instead of having to go to
another island, another island that wasn't mentioned previously in any
of the other movies, but this one, this is all
the really big bad ones, and we had to go
there specifically for Dono Dna to cure cancer or something.
(31:11):
I don't know. It just this is very disappointing.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, I kind of I felt that from from the
trailer as well. And you know how you are just
burnt out on like I'm see you, and even like
in general, sure I am burnt out on Scarlett Johansson.
I just I can't see her in anything else.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, no, not you know, not a.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Personal attack on her, but she's just in so many
movies and I'm like, it just takes me out of
it just.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Seeing Yeah, I think she is good. It's just like
the writing, like a lot of like even the a
lot of the Marvel stuff, they don't give her the
best stuff to work with, and she does as best
as she can. I think she's a good act She's
really good. And but like they're in this, it doesn't
work the character trait, the quippiness of being a smart
ass while dinosaurs are chasing you, Like you don't get
(31:59):
that in the original Jurassic Park. And I'm not saying
every movie needs to be like that, even though they
all mimic the same plot. It can be it could
have his moments of levity and whennot because the Drastic
Park does have that, but like these character like the
character description is like a quippy, rough and tough shoot
him up. Woman is gonna be protecting this guy and
(32:21):
he's a nervous, nerdy scientist who doesn't know his way
around and look at the hiagens.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That actor too, who plays he was in Wicked. He
played Piero in Wicked.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I watch it, but yeah, I believe I really like.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Him as an actor. He's a Broadway performer. His name
is escaping me right now, So I mean I would
love to go see the movie for him.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
But two, when you have these movies with the scenarios,
with the gigantic you know, CGI battles and fights and
things like that, and then they survive things that are
completely and utterly unsurvivable, it makes it unwatchable for me. No,
So as long as, however, they are not dino whispering
(33:07):
like they were in the last series, like Chris, you know,
like this is gonna just stop the raptors. Yeah, you know,
it could be better, probably possibly than the previous series
of films.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
But what do you think about the mutant dinosaur because
like you saw the one that was like in it's
in that flashy cave.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
They just gonna let let dead dinos die, like stop
beating a dead t rex or whatever that is right there,
So yeah, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah so not. They're going into like the again, this
is like the the island where all the real bad dinosaurs,
the big ones were made, and they're really experimenting on
these these ones and this one it looks like it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
This is me. Why do you keep getting in the
cave the freak thing? Why why do they keep doing it?
And then they're like, oh, let me out, me out
so soon you're dumb, You're gonna you're gonna get eaten.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
One comedian.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
One comedian was saying, like when you make these dinosaur
enclosures or wherever they're being held, like put them in
the ground and like find out how high they can
jump and just make it like higher than that and
put like a fence over it, like there's no need
to go in there. Don't put it on flat ground
where they could just jump over a fence or break
through a fence or what have you.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Like some basic engineering, some planning, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah we spared no expense, Yes you did, you did
spare all the expenses, you jerk, But yeah, the who
is it Jonathan Bailey or Rupert Friend Bailey? Yeah, Jonathan
Bailey is doctor Henry Loomis. Let us know what you think.
What are your thoughts on Jurassic World Rebirth? What are
your thoughts on the Fantastic four First Steps Again? I'm
(34:48):
excited for Fantastic four, fan four, I'm a fan for
Baby Yeah, but Jurassic World again. I love Gareth Edwards.
I think he's a He's a great I great direction
and you know, he's directed some of my favorite movies
of the past like ten or fifteen years. But however,
(35:09):
it's my understanding he was brought on to direct this
film without that much time. Like, for example, Godzilla, he
got pulled on put onto that movie three years before
it came out. He had three years to work on
it from the ground up for the Creator two years before,
for Rogue One two years before that as well, so
he had time to like put his own personality interests,
(35:31):
dono DNA into it and make it how he envisioned it.
But with how this rolled out, it's my understanding is
that the studio already had again the storyboard, laid out
the characters, laid out what beats they wanted to hit
what angles and dinosaurs, and so they just needed somebody
to be in the chair.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Is it one of these franchises that it's so big
that it's really it's the studio execs that are shooting
or making the calls, and you know, like Star Wars,
Star Wars, like the Rise of Skywalker that was all
like studio execs like, oh, this will do well with
this demographic, and like it wasn't a story from the heart,
(36:09):
you know, it was a corporate crapfest. Is this one
of those that is just too big to succeed?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
If they know they make money, they make money.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
It doesn't necessarily right now.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I think just a different story, just a different plot
of scientists going on an island the game chased by dinosaurs, Like,
don't do that again, You've done it for five times,
stop it.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
So what would what do you think would be a
good alternative plot?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I did like when they pitched or the trailer came
out for Jurassic World and it'd showed like the dinosaurs
are now roaming around the world now and they had
shots of like the dinosaur walking in front of like
a drive in theater, or they had a dinosaur walking
past a pool or you know, like they're in the
(36:58):
real world with humans. There may escape the show that
one big swimming dinosaur like in the waves and there's
a swimmers a surfer, and then behind it you can
see the silhouette of like, Okay, that's very interesting. But
then in that one with Chris Pratt, yeah, they were
like in Morocco or wherever, being chased by velociraptors on motorcycles.
But then they end up back on an island doing
(37:20):
the exact same thing. Game chased by dinosaurs. It all
ends that way. And so just let them, you know,
roam free in the world and tell a story in
that direction.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I don't know, I'd love that. Your kid playing if
you have to have a kid in the movie, you know,
your kid playing in your backyard and you hear something
rustling in the back You're like, oh my god, is
it a bear?
Speaker 1 (37:39):
No? Yeah, but it's got billy yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And the like world police are trying to contain or
control the spread of the dinosaur. That's a way more
interesting movie.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Story.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
So I'm trying to think what movies I can merge
with Jurassic Park, because you know, like they wanted to
combine Men in Black with with twenty one Jump Street
with like Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. They wanted to do,
like what if Jonah Hill and and Channing Tatum answered
the the like those characters, Yeah, enter Man in Black
like that would be a hilarious thing. That's difference, that's different,
(38:15):
and I'm down to give that a shot. Like I'm
trying to think of what movie you can merge with
with with the Drastic World, Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Cocaine Bear.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, I see, I've watched Shark Nato, Shark Dino Nato.
All right, let's get started on Steven Spielberg.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Again, the quality ideas that you get here on the
Hub on Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
We're bringing it back. Well, if you're not excited to
watch Jurassic World Rebirth, there are some movies that are
coming out on Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day, which I
think expanions whether they're uh yeah, but the question is
right whether or not they are actually romantic or whether
they are a.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Good date movie. I'm sure that they're a good date movie,
depending on whether you think that this is a good
relationship or a bad relationship. The first being Do Do
Do Do Do Do? Heart Eyes, which is a splasher movie. Yeah,
it's a it's a horror movie. It follows two co
(39:20):
workers who are working on Valentine's Day night and they
get mistaken for a couple by the slasher, by this
murderer who is Hard Eyes, and then they have to
spend the entire night fighting to survive because this to
outrun this killer who just loves to kill couples.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Kill them.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, exactly, Hard Eyes. I don't know how romantic a
slasher is. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Is it the same universe as Long Legs Not?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Not entirely. Sure, No, But if you're going out on
a like a first date, I don't know about Like
I know my husband would like that, but like what
about your wife? Like, as a girl, I'm not looking
for a slasher movie on my first That makes me
feel like, Okay, is this guy, like does.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
He want to kill me?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
What's with this?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Is he trying to murder me on our date?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah? So, but you know some people like.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Her kind of that I heard, I'm lying. I didn't
hear that. It's good movie. I saw a thumbnail of
this guy doing this, so that so maybe it's a
good movie. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
We love our Thumbnails. And then the other movie that's
out is Love Hurts starring Oscar winner Kihi Kwan. We
love him. This is his first like leading man role
action adventure. He's like a real estate agent who gets
wrapped up in something nefarious and he has to fight
(40:48):
his way away from these like assassins. It looks fun
that one. I would actually love to give a give
a watch too. I am pro connaissance. Yeah, I love him,
want to see him in more things, but get action adventure.
I'm not sure where the love part comes in.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
He loves to beat people love to.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
But that one I think at least has more entertainment value.
And then everything else out there, it just kind of
seems like very slashery. Yeah, what you know, where's the
national consciousness? You know, right right now, where's the love?
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Well, I'll tell you who who has this love hate relationship.
It's Captain America and the Red Hulk because that actually
comes out on Valentine's Day. Yeah, this one again, Captain America,
Brave New World. It could be good. I'm just not
going to be there the first opening weekend one because
I'm going to be very busy during that time. But yeah,
(41:48):
I'm not gonna be rushing to the movie theaters to
watch this, are you?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
This is a continuation of James just hating on things
that I love you, Harrison, I know, no, but you
know I get it. I get it. I get it.
But you know, I'm probably gonna be there for my
man's I'm gonna go see Red Hulks. Yeah, Yeah, what
did you hear?
Speaker 1 (42:11):
I just heard that they had so many reshoots and
like that's like it doesn't bode well, Like, it doesn't.
It doesn't bode well for like confidence of wanting to
see this that they had to do a lot of
like like two months or so of reshoots because the
first version wasn't good. Yeah, and so like hopefully they
were able to like rearrange it, rearrange this puzzle piece
(42:32):
of a movie together to be good. There. They they
should stick the landing because this is like like the
rebirth of the MCU. They need to relaunch on a
very strong foot because the past movies and enthusiasm has
been waning.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
So so two quick things. I love Anthony Mackie. I
think that there is hope for this film from the trailers.
I'm not a big fan of Hulks in general. I
don't know how that part's going to play out, but
I think that Anthony Mack He's got the dramatic part down.
He's a good Captain America. I enjoy him thoroughly. The
(43:12):
other thing I wanted to say was about Harrison. So
Harrison had just come out and you know, the last
Indiana Jones movie famously flap flopped in the in the theaters,
and he had come out and said that he does
not care. You know, he thought there was another Indiana
Jones movie to be told. He was happy to be
a part of it and he doesn't care that and
(43:32):
he got paid. And then talking about this one Captain
America Brave New World here, he said that he signed
on without seeing a script and people had asked him
about it, like, Harrison, why did you sign on so quickly?
He's like, you know, it doesn't take a rocket scientist
to see I've seen a lot of other actors. Yeah right.
(43:53):
He makes that joke a lot, but he's like, I've
seen a lot of other actors that I really respect.
Signing onto these movie. He's just having fun And I
think at this point in his career, in this point
in his life, he's like, I don't give an f anymore,
and I'm just in it for for the fun and
the fun for those of us who for those of
you who.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Can't see what James is, I'm making them. He's rubbing
my fingers together.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
He's counting the Benjamin's over here.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, to be fun. To be fair. Also, I don't
think he's cared for the past forty years. He's like
one of those guys like I don't care. I know
I can be in whatever movie and it'll be great
or you know, or are it'll be good for my
bank account. So I don't think he's cared for a
long time. But yeah, I do. I do appreciate the
honesty of even though I said he was a liar
last week, Yeah, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
It's a it's a paradox.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
He's so honest with being so blase about things while
also being a liar and a shill for the MC
by denying rumors that he was the Red Hulk. Do
you think they should have kept I mean, there's no
way they keep that secret the Red Hulk.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
No, I mean they try, but then people like Yeah,
it's sometimes it's necessary to lie. But no, this kind
of this, I think in the No, they couldn't keep
that a secret.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
And you need that trailer because yeah, yeah, because you
have the highlight who the villain is or like he's
that conflict. Yeah, because I know the guy from Breaking Bad.
I'm blanking on his name right now, but like he's
going to be one of the main antagonists. But I
don't think he'll like sell tickets if he's just like, Okay,
he's a who's who's this guy? You need a big monster? Yeah,
(45:34):
big monster to fight exactly, all right, Well, I do,
like I will say I'm ending on this note. I
we'll say that I do like how they are keeping
the enemy like power and strength, different from the hero
because many movies they do the same thing. Were Like
in Iron Man movies, Tony Sark is usually fighting another
kind of Iron Man or like another robot of sorts,
(45:55):
or like with with thor H he's usually fighting like
another kind of like another god or something, and so
you see a lot of that. But yeah, so this
is a very interesting versus you know, a man with
wings and a shield versus a big monster.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah, and he doesn't have any superpowers.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Really, he's just Ham, which is technically like magic.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, I mean a lot of it is like magic.
But yes, yeah, yeah, I want some vibranium. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yeah. Anyways, all right, well you know what else is cool?
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Cine quotes cineques Alright, bump.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
But up up up up but up? But uh?
Speaker 2 (46:33):
I like, is that the official theme song for a cinquotes?
I'm digging it?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
All right.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
We've done very well previous weeks.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Yeah, we are on a six game winning streak, and
that's because we have not done a Sunday stump, which
are notoriously harder and difficult. But yeah, well we're doing
number number seven eighty five cente quote. In case you
are not familiar, this is a game where you are
provided quotes five up to five quotes, and you have
(47:01):
to guess when the movie is based on it. It
starts off kind of you know, hard, but then oh
sorry easy or vice versa hard, and then it gets
easier because it gets like yeah, the last quote is
usually liked like oh yeah or something like that, or
like I'll be back like okay, I know it is so,
but we're gonna try to get this one. So this
is today's game. We're gonna start with quote number one.
(47:25):
Oh do you like to steal of my blade? It's
so cold? Oh? You like the steal of my blade?
It's so cold? Yeah, I don't know. Let's play the
more time.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
It sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Oh do you like to steal of my blade? It's
so cold? It sounds like a comedy.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Yeah, yeah, I have no guesses at this point.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
No guess. Let's go to the next quote and then
the three to one. We have been trapped for forty
five years and now.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Oh my gosh, I'm not sure I've been trapped for
forty five years.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Who's trapped for forty five years?
Speaker 2 (48:12):
See? Is it a comedy? Or is it just a
bad movie? I know? Well, uh, because I was leaning
towards something like Dodgeball to begin with.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Oh yeah, okay, next quote, fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Questions, Yes, are you nuts?
Speaker 1 (48:37):
I don't want to steal drugs from my father. I
don't want to go inside a monster, and.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
I don't want to die.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I think it's worth a shot.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Yes, I agree, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
I don't know either.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
This is this is interesting?
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
But no, I can't even make a guess.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
It's not like Goonies or something, is it. I mean
you can try.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Yes, I've never actually watched Goonies.
