This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Our friend Stephen Presley from app thunder Pop TV joins us.
He's turns us on a Wednesday and we're going to
be off on Friday. Check him out on Instagram at
thunder Pop Tv, also on YouTube with the same handle.
(00:20):
Let's start out talking about what everyone's talking about, and
that is the flooding that has been all over Central Texas.
And you say that some Hollywood people are stepping up
and helping out.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, people like Matthew McConaughey, Eva Longoria who's a Texan,
and Shakira, who had a concert this past week in
San Antonio and all the proceeds are most of the
proceeds from her show in San Antonio, she donated to
the flood relief.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, I'd be surprised if we see Taylor Sheridan step
up and do something.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah. I bet you're right.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
He's just synonymous with the state right now in Hollywood world.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Jamie, do you think Shakira remembers us from when we
met her to like twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
You know how many people she met, it's so so
and so so in the morning's.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Like it's just all a blur. I'm right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
She was like twenty years old and shy you would be,
and had these enormous Colombian bodyguards that were with her.
And we're like, we're not gonna we're not gonna hurt her.
I promise you, we're not gonna hurt her. She's kind
of new in America anyway. And she was very cool,
(01:35):
very nice. Somewhere I've still got the picture of you
and I with her, Jmi somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yes, I think, I yeah, that's somewhere around there. She
was just adorable. Yeah, she was cool.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But so that's good to see that some well known
people are stepping up and helping out. You can help
out by making a donation at community foundation dot net.
That's the best way to do it. Community foundation dot net.
But Jamie, back to your point, I think you're right,
Taylor Sheridan, I'm sure we'll do something. You know, Texas
is he's a Texan and doesn't matter if you're from
(02:06):
Weatherford or wherever, still help out when Texans have problems.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So and he has all the money all the money.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Did you hear about George Strait's donation.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
He donated three and a half million dollars to relief efforts,
and then right after that it was announced that the
Cowboys donated five hundred thousand dollars. People went off on
the amount that the Cowboys donated versus what they were
able to donate, But I think that's the point.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
See, that's not fair. They could have just not donated
at all. You're talking about half a million dollars. Yeah, okay, correct.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I saw something funny on Instagram. You mentioned George Straight,
a very young George Straight on roller skates.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Everything.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Think about George Straight as movie.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
He's normally just standing in front of a microphone, so
on roller skates that'd be.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
A bit I thought those boots were his real feet.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
The floods hit really close to home for him too,
because he has ranch or house not very far from
one of the worst that flooding was. He had that
resort out there for a while too. I think he
may have sold it with the golf course. You talk
about the hill country or in San Antonio, in the
hill country near Bernie Is where he has his resort,
or he used to have the resort and he lived
out there.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Miam My cousin lives in the same not the same neighborhood,
but they played golf at the same golf course and
says he sees him all the time. George apparently likes
to play a lot of golf. Yeah, let's talk a
little bit about F one. I just read that it's
done three hundred million dollars globally. It's the biggest, biggest
and most successful Apple production. And now there's rumors of
(03:48):
a sequel and a partnership.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Tell us about it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, and so here's a really interesting story. Tom Cruise
and Brad Pitt were offered Ford Versus Ferrari a few
years ago. Tom Cruise turns it because they've been trying
to get Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt back together for
a while for some kind of team up movie ever
since years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
They did an interview with the Vampire.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They are friends, but yeah, they they tried to get
them for Ford Versus Ferrari. Tom Cruise is the one
that that canceled or turned it down because he said
there was not enough driving in the movie. He needed
he needed more time behind the wheel. Fast car stuff.
So because he backed out, Brad Pitt also was out
and then they ended up going with Christian Bale and
(04:30):
Matt Damon took their place.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Wait, I mean Christian Bale was in and then was
out and Matt Damon did.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It well Tom Cruise when Talkers.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And Matt Damon played Carol Shelby, Right, Yeah, have you
seen F one yet?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I haven't, And that's right out of my alley, Like
that's something I'd like to see at the theater.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I just I like to let things die.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Down a little, Yeah, and then find that one, that
one sofa two seater in the very back of the album.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, I can see after Tom Cruise doing The Days
of Thunder where he did all that driving, and having
seen both of those movies for Versus Variety, I can
totally see why he would say there's not enough driving
in that movie.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
He would have loved F one because that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I'm sure he had a little bit of FOMO
when he watched F one. He went, he went to
the premiere and actually, you know, I joined a Brad
Pitt on the red carpet for a little bit. So yeah,
I'm sure you had a little bit of Fomo. He's
been planning a Days of Thunder sequel, and now there's
talk of a F one sequel, and there's also people
talking about the possibility of a team up. Could there
be an F one Days of Thunder crossover movie?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
M that would be cool, that'd be interesting because we're
talking about two different forms of racing and.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Two different audience fan basis. Yeah, yeah, that's why.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, maybe that's why they want the NASCAR crowd and
the F one crowd to go to the same movie.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, if you come on the dots. This director from
F one is the director of Top Gun Maverick. They
made this movie with a similar formula to Top Gun
Maverick and how they use some of the methods that
they're filming with the way they built the cameras inside
the cars, you know, when they build a car around
the camera, and then they actually had real racing. They
(06:17):
were at real races in the movie.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
So yeah, you know, social media kind of ruins some
of this effect for us, because you've probably seen some
of the the clips going around where they're in like
they're they're sitting there and they're have a camera on
them and they're just shaking their helmet, right, Yeah, and
then they're splashing water on.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Them or whatever. Don't ruin this for me, that's they
shouldn't let that stuff leak out. Yeah, I think you.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I followed the same thing. It's like at film crew
or something like that. Yeah, I keep it a mystery. Yeah,
they show how the movie is made, and I agree.
Some of it's like, oh I didn't want to know that,
you know.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Going to miles an hour in that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Scene, right, you know, like with the new Jurassic movie
in front of a green screen.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Oh, I hate it, like Buster Keaton used mirrors to
make it look like he was falling off a ledge.
You know, it's like everything's getting ruined.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Right, it's too much behind the curtain. Let the magic
of the movie enjoy. Let us enjoy that, right. So
nothing more than a rumor here, Steven. With this sequel
and the partnership or the I.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Think on SQL the f one both, well, what's for real?
What's real is that that looks like there is going
to be a Days of Thunder sequel. They've been planning
that now for several months and they have all they
said they almost have the script finished for it. The
F one sequel also looks very real from what I'm
reading from Reliable, you know reliable. It's a confirm rumor
at least that where F one movie, a sequel looks
(07:50):
very possible. And Brad Pitt's done sequels before. He's not
against the idea of doing a sequel if he gets
a good script.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
He made The Ocean eleven movies.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I don't know how many of those they made, at
least three or four, right, So he'll do a sequel
if it's a good script. I think he had a
lot of fun making this movie. You could tell when
he was out promoting it. I mean who I mean,
the adrenaline rush, get behind the wheel of the car.
You think he'd want to do that again, And this
time he wouldn't even have to train. He's already done.
He's already done the leg work, so he could step
(08:18):
right back into it.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I have a question for you about something that I
read about Brad Pitt. I'm curious what your take is, Steven.
Someone said in the film business they were like brad
Pitt's at his best when being directed by Tarantino.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, he is really good that once upon a time
in Hollywood. I thought was one of his that was
one of his best roles. I loved him in that movie.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
He did another Tarantino, but I can't remember exactly what
it is.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Right, glorious Faster, Yeah, great.
Speaker 3 (08:47):

Speaker 3 (09:48):
So it's a big day for.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
A movie and a big day for a genre, would
you say, Stephen, with the release of Superman.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, and I would say for sure the most anticipated
movie overall for this year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Last year was Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think this year, yeah, the Superman movie has been
highly anticipated. The promotion for this movie, I think they've
nailed it right now. It's projected to do huge numbers
first weekend. And I think this movie is going to
be a hit. I think it's gonna make it's gonna
hit the marks, it's gonna be a blockbuster.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
How well will it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
We're gonna in just a matter of we're gonna find
out just how well people like it. I'm going to
see it tonight. I'm going to get a sneak peek
of it tonight. So I'm pretty excited for that. We'll
see right now. It's gotten some leak there's been some
review leaks. Some of the review leaks said that the
movie was silly and had too much CGI. Some of
the other leaks said, this movie is the best movie
(10:42):
since Top Gun Maverick. Whoa Wow. So which is it?
It might be both. It might be if you don't
mind CGI and you don't mind a little silly, It
might be as good as Top Gun Maverick or better.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now. I know we've got kind of a twenty twenty
five Superman here, But is he still fast than a
speeding bullet? Can he still tall buildings in the s.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I hope?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So I think we're going to get the new generation
of a Superman. I think he's going to use a
little bit more slang, some of the new new slang
of our time.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Maybe just the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The reason I asked that question is because I mean,
let's admit it, a lot of young men out there
in America royal woosies.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Well, this Superman is a dog lover.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, this one dog in the movie. What was the
last thing? He was faster than a speeding bullet?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Locomotives outrun speeding locomotives were powerful.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, the trained locomotive. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
My fantasy is a young JB was for Superman to
hook up with Wonder Woman Enterplane Club because you can
see everything.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
That's I prayed for that I wanted.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I wanted wonder Woman to tie me up. Oh man,
was that the truth?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Lasso?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Is that what that was? It made you tell the truth. Yeah,
I'd tell her things. I'd tell her things I didn't do.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Some people want somebody, Well, somebody made a fan a
fan movie of the super Friends, you know from the eighties.
We had, you know, with Superman and Batman and they
had Prince in it. The episode, the lost episode with
Prince on the super Friends and Prince is hanging out
with all the ladies.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
He's got wonder Woman, Supergirl and he's almost like a
Chappelle sketch. It looked like a Chappelle sketch.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He comes up on this the big screen and Superman
and Batman are sitting there looking like, what what's going on?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You're at a party with Prince. So it was pretty funny,
but you're right, it does sound like a Chappelle skirt.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, moving along here, let's talk about Will Smith and
he is got a rap album.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right, Yeah, you know he's back to doing rap. He's
been you know, out of wrap the rap world for
a long time. And then you know, he's had a successful,
successful career in movies. The Oscar slap happens. The Oscar
slap happens a few years ago. He continues on, he
has another bad Boys movie comes out. It's pretty big hits.
But he's kind of, you know, laid low as far
(13:22):
as any other movies here recently, but been very active
on social media, and he's been putting out videos with
his new rap music, and he's get a lot of blowback.
There's been people saying that, you know, he should have, like,
you know, this is a midlife crisis that he should have, like,
you know, avoided if he could. Trying to get back
into rap. A lot of people are making fun of
how cheesy it is ringy. They're calling it ringy geh.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
His rap was always kind of more bubblegummish though. Yeah,
he was a hardcore guy. No, right, it was rapping
about the parents just understanding.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, Stephen isn't.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
One of the reasons this is getting backlash for his
rap is because he's addressing the Oscar slap in one
of his songs.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Have you heard anything about that?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, there was that. There was one song where he
does address it. He was on a podcast too where
he raps and then he has that in the in
the rap song in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, I think that's been a little bit of the blowback.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He has a video, well, so he made a music video.
A new music video came out for a song he
made called Pretty Girls. And the first time I watched
this like, oh my gosh, this really is bad, but.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It kind of grows.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It kind of grows on you, which is kind of
like a typical Will Smith song after I heard it
like the third or fourth time. But one of the
things is he's got a lot of the sexy ladies
in the video, but they are age appropriate for his age,
And some people gave him compliments for that for putting,
you know, ladies that were age appropriate that are dancing
around him.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Why would you want to be rich and successful and
have chicks your age around you.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
That's the whole point of all the hard work.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's a fail. Will Hey, you know, here's an idea
for Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
He could put out a music video where it has
the slap dance. Yes, it could become a viral thing
like Gangham style was sign like that.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, that's funny. Is the record is the Is it out?
Can you stream it now?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You can stream it? Yeah, the music in the videos.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
To finally, Rush Hour has a trigger warning. We're talking
about the movie rush Hour, not when you get onto mopack.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right, that's the trigger warning I need, is the one
for when I get a mopak.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
The movie is like twenty years old, right.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, it's it's from the ninth the original ones from
the nineties, and it's showing on the USA network pretty regularly,
and they've now started putting a disclaimer on there, basically
telling viewers it was made at a different time and
may have language or stereotypes and then today's audience.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
So this is not a new thing.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Actually, this has been coming up lately a lot from
other like Disney Plus actually started it and they're on
their app on their on their app. They've got Dumbo,
Peter Pan just to name a couple that had been
put been given disclaimers before.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I remember they did this with Tom and Jerry. Yeah, Cartoon.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I think I think it was Whippy Goldberg who did
kind of an opening disclaimer.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
If it wasn't for that, it may have been something else.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
But uh, but yeah, it was just a different time,
you know, and there's there's things that are definitely racial
stereotypes with cartoons.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's just I don't know, it
seems to I don't know how to say this without
I'll just say it. It's like, why do we always
feel the need to impose today's values on people from
the past, you know what I mean, Like all of
a sudden, we're better than that, So we're gonna tell
you how bad that was, you know what I mean
by that? It just it kind of sits weird with me.
(16:56):
It was a time and a place when those things
were made.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, I mean there's things that, like the way we
lived thirty years ago that are unacceptable. Like you don't
have to go very far back, right, You're right, Yeah,
we're all kind of progressing in theory.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Right, hope, But we also want to believe that we
weren't that that type of person back then when you
were you sell, Yeah, you're right there in the middle
of it.
