Speaker 3 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast today, one of our favorite people,
Dave Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We took your calls on your encounter with a hacker
or a scammer on maybe more than one.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Claresy opened up his Tragic music box to the year
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And Lisa open to Mirriam Webster's dictionary for the word
of the year, and she got very authentic. Lisa the
Western the Western Force facebook page, let's be brutally honest,
it's been hacked. Yeah, because it's just all of a sudden,
got a bunch of dodgy, like countless dodgy videos on there,
which can only be nothing to do with the football team,
(00:43):
the rugby team.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just random video. Random.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
There's a car swerving near a cow. There's a dude
with a sledgehammer and driving in some pins for a tent.
There's a dog with a water bottle running across the street.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Like that Now light weird metaphors for the Western fourth
season or anything.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Really sure like a drunken pedestrian, this dog with a
water bottle. There's a giant bobcat crushing a car. It's
like one of those bloky TV stations like seven Mates
in yes lanky video. So obviously someone's gotten in there
and done done a bit of hacking work, and the
Force are actually saying it's not us because I've all
got the logo. They've got a weird Force.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Logan odd thing to do though very strong. There's no
nothing in it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Were you anyone, you wouldn't think so other than being
so it's another place, yeah, nuisance and maybe a place
to get more views or something because we're probably adding
to that.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Sorry about that. They can tell their mates.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, yeah, I was the infiltrator.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That was me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I was in my little dark room at the back
of the house or in the shed at the back
and Mum's going, what do you do? Well, I'm you're
thirty seven, get out of that, or you're fifty seven
in your husband hacking the Force. Yeah, but there's a
lot of it around a lot of scammers. We get
phone calls every day from Aby Derby and Arry Melbourne
and it is quite weird, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
We want to ask have you had an encounter with
a scammer or a hacker.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Can I tell you quickly the story?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
The other day?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Put something on Facebook marketplace? Yeah, And I got a
message back, but said, I just googled that. I just
want to make sure and they've sent me through something
they googled, So a link to a video? Is this
the model that you're selling? So I thought that sounds wrong.
I'm not clicking on that. So I took a photo
of the model number and sent it back. They said, no,
I just want you to click on the link that
(02:17):
I sent you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Just what do you think? I am very much.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm foolish, but I'm not stupid. Hacker, scammer everywhere. Jason
is on the line from Midland. Good morning, Jason.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
We are talking about encounters with scammers or hackers.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
What have you got for us?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well, I'm trying to buy a Bulls Area puppy at
the moment. And I went on the marketplace on Facebook
and I was calling to someone on there about buying
this puppy and they said they lived. Well, I wanted
to go see the puppy before I tried handing over money.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yes, right for an address?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yes, And they said they gave me an area that
they lived in, which was right up north okay, yeah,
out in the middle of red dirt country.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
And I said, oh okay, And they're going, well, you
send me the money and we'll send you the puppy.
And I want to see the puppy before, and I said,
can you give me an address? So they gave me
a postal address and no, I blust them a bit,
and I said, funny, your name doesn't match the postal address.
(03:24):
And next minute they've blocked me on Facebook on the
whole web page.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, when did you cash?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, of course, Bettail. I believe that dealing with puppies
is one of the worst kind of online scams and
so on. That why anyone would buy a puppy without
seeing the puppy.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
First is a bit beyond me.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Jason, as you could you agree, obviously, but you got.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
To be here that one.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, they blocked you did your favor.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well it's happened to me three times now on three
different pages.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Ah, I'll keep trying to find someone legits.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Anyone's got a litter of full terriers. A terrier, he said,
Wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Bad trick record? Isn't it if he's got three three
Dodgies already?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah? Not good at all. No, that's a that's a
prime target. That one. That's the area of the zone.
And you know one.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I mean, I can't stand scammers, but that's one I
particularly despise because.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You're dealing with people's emotions.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, that's emotions around animals. People must universe. It's animals
or family or of.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Course some you know, animals are family.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know what I mean? Or real people getting the
emotional attachment.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Very yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me in Oakford?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Hello, good morning, How are you good?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I used to work at a PlayStation and when I
answered the phone, they started going through all of this
crash scam and it took them a good ten twelve
minutes to figure out that they called a PlayStation. Wasn't
until I said, you do realize you've called X PlayStation, right,
And then all of a sudden it was the.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Don't call the cops. Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's the best best to comeback though, I call yeah,
and I didn't think you were scamming them back just
making that up either. They they obviously weren't taking a chance,
but they were going.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
They were going through their little little scheme thing, and
it was like, you can't be distupid sid.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, yeah, thanks Tamyrus. Chloe in Yanjiba, What was your experience, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
So it was actually a little bit similar. I worked
for a digital marketing company and we build websites and
do all that sort of stuff. Almost on the daily.
We have people call through asking if they'd like their
services to assist us then with our social media marketing
and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Yeah, there, that's that's so.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I often just say yes, So did you know we
actually do that and then hung up.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, preaching and converted.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Exactly. That's exactly right. So we don't use your services.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Thank you put them in their place.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Chloe, Yeah, I do, thank you, Thanks Chloe.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I suppose you know every one hundredth call is going
to be It's like the ones that call about these
ones always get me. The ones that call and I'm
calling about your recent car accident, you know, I mean,
you know, if you had a car accident or not recently,
how many calls must they make before someone who did
indeed just happened a car accident say oh yes, yes,
I we's the.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Ones we get about your delivery. So sorry, we can't
make your delivery if you click on here. And obviously
they want to put some stuff in your in your
phone or especially.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
When it's coming to your mobile.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And if you maybe like me and you know there's
a good.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Job you are expecting, you are expecting your past, and.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You are expecting your delivery a weekly. I do like
that's what they bank on with that one. I do
watch chance of that one.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The car who budge early on in the phone call
that it's a scam and they get revenge. So I
have a friend who once said something about that. It
was somebody to do with the I'll call her lay.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Was where my head got taken right off. It was
a fun one.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That was great. I yes, I did have an accent
clean off.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
They swear at you and sweat.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Want me authentic self. I guess.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
It is fun to have fun with him. But when
you know they actually do scam you.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But you haven't often got the time for that, have you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I've got a few minutes to kill.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh yeah, you want a bit of entertainment and there's
nothing I tell.
Speaker 2 (07:40):

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Absolutely, give us your best shot.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Boo Dale in Parkwood. Good morning, Dale, I know good.
What happened.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
I got up one morning as you normally would for
your day at work and things like that, and I
had this message and it was a full screen message
on my phone basically saying that I had been my
phone had been basically barred by the federal police or
inappropriate web searches.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Oh dear.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
I thought, okay, this is a bit odd, just being
a bit nervous, and I'm sure of that.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
I contacted the police and told them what had happened,
and they basically said, well, it's a thing going around
where people's phone is actually being packed into like that.
They've had numerous complaints about it. Yeah, but they said
it was definitely not true and basically someone had been yeah,
getting into my details and barring my services and Sam, yeah, yeah,
(08:40):
a big one going around here.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And it is because that one immediately just puts the
fear of you know, everything into It's like the one
that was going around about you know, the tax department
calling you and basically suggesting you would be in a
Siberian gulag by the end of the day. You didn't
immediately call them and something right, And when you hear a tax, yeah,
when you hear you know what you heard Dale that,
(09:04):
you don't think properly. You just think, get me out
of this.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Oh exactly. I relay straight away, and I was nervous,
and I explained to him that my phone had been
bad and everything, and I said, look, I've never done
anything of the sort. And they said, look, that's okay,
they said, relax, like it's just a thing going around
where I said, I had about I think they said,
within twenty four hours, I had a lot of calls
about that particular thing, like a lot of people around
(09:27):
the city had actually had that happen to him.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, and it's all based on there was a big
thing going around based on fear. Said there was another
one going around a few years ago a friend of mine.
It was about porn, and it said that your camera
has been activated whilst you've been looking at porn. He's
good later mine and no, kid, you not. And he
was really scared. Once again, I was really I mean,
he was really just put the fear of it.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I never did that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And we're going to share with all your contacts these
photos of your face.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And I he was really worried with your life.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Yeah, I actually fro.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He did the right thing. You checked it, you didn't
click on any wrong thing. So well that's the lasting
of it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
We got anything up getting a message like that. Days
down Pipping Cavisham, what happened?
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Hi guys, Yeah, my ninety two year old dad got
damned out of twenty thousand. Now it's weird because he
was getting these. He got about three texts from the
Commonwealth Banks saying you know, oh there's some weird activity.
Give this number a ring. And when I saw it,
I thought, no, this sounds like scamming anyway. So I
(10:34):
went down to the bank and he went to get
some money out of the ATM and he said, oh,
I can't just spat out and I said, we'll try
it again, and came back out again and I said,
I we'll go to the teller. So they took us
into a room and the girl said, oh, yeah, there's
been a bit of you know, activity going on. And
I said, I like what, and she said, oh, you
know a few funny you know transactions and worked out
(10:57):
there was fifty five of them and up to twenty
grand My god. The odd thing was it wasn't his
credit card, it was his debit card, and it was
done over in Melbourne, and it was from the same
calls and it was like ordering online right, and some
of the transactions for like seven hundred and eighty you know,
(11:19):
seven hundred and eighty dollars really weird.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
No one picked it up.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
But when it was so weird, when she said, oh,
there's a few fifty five, I said, I think that's
a bit more than a few.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, Red going yeah, I thought they leted you.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Well they had, but it was just you know, leg
of saying on the text, you know, contact your local brand.
Because when we saw this number.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I thought, well, I'm not going to ring that number.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
It sounds weird.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
So anyway, and he did get it all back good,
so lucky. It was just it's just warning to everybody too.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And I know was he did he find was he
calm or did he find that very st as for
because I'm like my older mother, she would that would
you know, really give her great anxiety if something like
that happened.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Well, it was sort of I think it didn't calm,
but I think he's like a duck on top of.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
H order with it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It was very cool and calm and collected. Yeah, m
would have freaked out with totally.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You get so protective of them with things like this,
and they're just you know, I mean, twenty grand I'm
barely around it, let alone five and nudge two year old.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's like when they stealing car, should they test it
out first and just see if they get away with
them and they increase the amounts. Yeah, thanks peer, thanks

the bass player from Van Halen, and they're all good
mates and they know party too. Hey, Dave, speaking of parties,
I saw you guys. I saw the scrimmag Jets one
night at the beat room at the Melbourne Hotel that
we're talking when All for One was the Hot Ozzy
album and it was going off. It was like a
dangerous kind of night, people banging into each other and
all the.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Rest of it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But we've seen a few stars and recent times get
hit by things on stage. Did you you ever copped
anything in the in the nogging while you're up there?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I actually smashed into Grant's guitar one time, but that
was self inflicted one time, I will I do remember.
I was because I was prone to rabes back in
the day and they have gone a bit too long
or put people off.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Anyway, this guy spat straight at me and I caught it.
I dive into the crowd to have a fight with him,
and then he punched portholes and I was just like security, Yeah,
it was about to hit me.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I kind of well knew that caught it. Looked at
it was like Rose, no ransworth that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
So you're faborit of touring, I guess next year. In
the meantime, we've got Christmas. What does a Gleason family
Christmas jail?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Just a bit of relaxing.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, this will be a nice relaxing one. I've been
away a lot this year. It's been a hectic year
in many different ways. But yeah, yeah, well we'll have
like three weeks I'll say it Chrissy, and then we
just kick off January. I mean the Carprdo starts on
the fourth till the fourteenth of January, and then yeah,
the Jets goes through it till March. So yeah, it's
(16:58):
pretty full on at the moment, which is fantastic, you know.
But COVID is well and truly in the rearview mirror
for touring.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah that's great.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Absolutely, Hey, place you've got a like I'm sure you
know pretty well. His name's Peter Mobbs. Mobbs he was
all radio made of mine, from canber and from Geelong. Yeah,
he's obsessed with the rolling Stones and even to this
day he's not working radio anymore, but he's obsessed with
the stones and he loves merchandise. Have you got a
band that you like that with? Is anyone in rock
and roll that you're obsessed.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
With that will?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
My true obsession was ac DC trying to collect old
rarities and stuff like that, and I did find I
was in the States, and this guy brought me a
cassette that was from a nightclub in Boston, and the
DJ so that at the end of their set, the
crowds going wild. They said, we must be nineteen seventy
(17:46):
six or seven. And the DJ goes, let's get him
back on, Let's get him back on. The whole crowd
going yeah, yeah, he goes, ac DC, Bunny Tayler and
ac DC.

I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Moby played MOMBI played
the Jets on the radio. We were ever played on
the radio, mobs and swept, So yeah, they played us

No, I can't even say it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Merriam Webster has announced twenty twenty three's word of the Year,
and it is drum roll please thank you. It is
authentic or authentic. That's Mariam Webster Webster's word oh the Year.
The Online Dictionary says has been a high volume of
(19:26):
searches for the words definition for several years now, but
twenty twenty three so a substantial increase thanks to stories
and conversations about AI, celebrity culture, identity, and social media.
I mean, how many times have you heard people bang
on about being their authentic selves? I just want to
be my authentic self. Why have you been being a
(19:49):
big faco this whole time? Yeah, the Dictionary said. It
has also been a term favored by celebrities like singers
Sam Smith and Taylor Swift, who have all made headlines
this year with statements about seeking their authentic voice going
on there. Another fan of is Elon Musk, who has
(20:09):
previously said that people should be more authentic on social media.
Good luck with that, Elon. However, that became even more
of an issue earlier this year when Musk is the
new host, the new boss of Twitter. Now X got
rid of the trademark blue check sign of authenticity, now
only available.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
At a price. Ye, of course, that's authenticity for you.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
One of the other words to stand out in searches
this year, according to the Dictionary, was the closely related
deep fake.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Deep fake.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
This is defined by Merriam Webster as an image or
recording that has been convincingly altered and manipulated to represent
someone as doing or saying something that was not actually
done or said. So the very antithesis of authentic pretty much.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, we're going on the other end of the spectrum,
are there? You have it so authentic? And you mentioned
Taylor Swift in there is relationship She's got now authentic.
I'm wondering what's going on with that football?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Oh yeah, it's funny. That's a bit too much Okay,
authentic to know about that. I'm done. Thank you that
I've had sufficient for the year. Yeah, you're right. More

headphones on. Some people were jogging a rock still handbag.
(21:54):
Yeah that's right, jogging a roller skating with that thing
attached to your belt. Yeah, absolutely, with the tiny shorts on,
with the piping on the edges, or the memories. Some
people just reached, of course for the floor of the
old Ford swimming tablets. Remember the Ford swimming tabs, to
remember those. They were heavily promoted across, particularly in America.
But nozz he's got into them as well.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Beware of the.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Side effects because there were so many side effects of
those bloody things. Not good because the diet pel craze
was huge at the movies. Jane Fonder, Lily Tomlin and
Dolly Parton were of course a big hit movie, wasn't
it that one? Probably Jane swimming, probably doing pills, especially Jane,
and she was saying she was working out with the legwarmers.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, the Jane Fonder aerobics. I had the video.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
You had the video, yes, Yeah, awesome. Thought those lego
warms look awesome. The English paparazzi Lisa in nineteen eighty
scored their first snap of Prince Charles's new girlfriend, Lady
Diana Spencer. Do you remember the shot? She had a
couple of kids with her, which of course weren't hers,
and she was wearing the sea through scrap. Yeah, they
just having to get the shot with the behind her
(23:01):
on TV. Dallas was absolutely huge. Used to love the
shot at the start where you saw all those mirror
of the windowed buildings in Dallas, Texas. Yeah, so incredible, huge.
It wasn't a massive show and no bigger than this
stage in nineteen eighty when you know Who shot Jr?
(23:22):
Those big episodes and we're all wondering what was going on.
Eighty three million Americans, so nearly half of the US
population watched the Who Shot Jr?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
End of season cliffhangers Call. They'd have bilmed three different outcomes.
I had to try to do it under wraps. Imagine
how long you'd keep something like that under wraps for.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
These days, It's impossible.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Would it wouldn't even make it to the showing of
the episode that was the Cliffhanger because it was just
before the season was released.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
At the time, it was just over two hundred million Americans,
so nearly half the population wanted to see who put
the bullet into Larry Hagman's grinning evil guy in the
giant cowboy hat old j ewing at home Here in
Perth in nineteen eighty least the state manager of any
fine answer investment company could rake in an incredible salary
of eighteen to twenty thousand dollars plus a company falcon.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh, the falcon was if your dad had a company car. Yeah,
company car, because your mum could have had a company
car too.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But it was more likely your dad.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, it was pretty flai.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You might as well have had a pool and a
cornetto every night. Stop it, I mean, not a cornetto
what was that last pressure.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Drumsticking something like that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
We just had the cheap ice block ones, I did you. Yeah,
a block of land in Kingsley put you back fourteen
thousand dollars in nineteen eighty. And how to think about this,
in nineteen eighty the Mitchell Freeway only went up to
Hutton Street. Yeah, how bizarre is that? Yeah, the carrn
Up extension wouldn't be finished for another three years. And
going the other way, of course, the Kunana Freeway went
all the way down to Canning Highway.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh, it was really worth a point for wow.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
So bizarre is it?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
It got to South Street by in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, that was the next the next installment and also
in nineteen to eighty. Look, we didn't mind a novelties o.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Sorry stuck in your head? Why are you enough?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Joe Dalgy another novelty song cast I tell you you
know we talk about novelty songs that went to number
one in fifteen countries.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It did.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It was number one for eight weeks from November of
nineteen eighty There's no accounting for however, the UK love
a novelty song and even though he was American who
moved to Melbourne in the late seventies, it went to
number one in the UK. It went to number one
in Germany's time. We were not going to play it
New Zealand Ireland, so now we're not because we're going
to talk about some real music here. December twenty and
(25:35):
twenty one, lease Elton John had an album called twenty
one at thirty three and then the tour made it
to Perth. Oh earlier del Style album exactly funny you
say that. Look he made it to Perth for shows
at our entertainment center. We're talking about nineteen eighty. The
gigs wrapped up a run of sixty three shows over
three and a half months. He was he was a
busy boy. And Elton and his band obviously they're in
red hot form and of course you know what bands
(25:57):
are like when they get at the end of a tour.
They're having such a good time.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
The eighties, we were allowed to have it good and.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
They know they're going to get time off straight after,
and they're here in summer. So the gig started with
the epic Funeral for a Friend and Love Lies Bleeding
from the album good Bye Yellow Brick Road, and then
it went straight into the contrasting style of Tiny Dancer Beautiful,
then a track from the good Bye Yellow Brick Road
album we speak of, the title track, and then Rocketman
and Philadelphia Freedom Or was a concert favorite. The very
(26:22):
Sweet Little Genie was the hit single from that twenty
one at thirty three album, and as you mentioned about
adele Or Taylor Swift you know, using ages and all
the rest of it. And in referring to album titles,
twenty one at thirty three was his twenty first album
in total at that stage at the age of thirty
three for elt So it was all for a reason.
We were treated, of course to an emotional tribute for
his friend. He's very good friend, John Lennon. And if
(26:45):
you think about it, it was only twelve days earlier
that John had been murdered in New York City and
Elton was on stage here in Perth. We're talking about
nineteen eighty, the end of nineteen eighty, so it wasn't
a dry eye in the house. The encore had everything
song for your song and then a cranked up rock
and roll energy, very energetic medley of great Balls of Fire,
(27:07):
jail house rock, and I saw her standing there. So
we celebrate the tour and we wrap up the Tragic
Music Box from nineteen eighty On ninety six AIRVM, there's
sure report on ninety six.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
AVM, Margot Robbie seems to have dashed any hopes you
may have had of a Barbie sequel. Speaking at Varaji's
Power of Women Gala, I can see you're very disappointed.
She said, I think we put everything into this one.
We didn't build it to be a trilogy or something.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Instead, Robbie Hope's the success of the film, which has
earned more than one point four billion dollars worldwide, will
lay the foundation for more original projects. It sounds like
these days in Hollywood to get a big budget to
make a movie in the first place, you have to
be able to guarantee there'll be sequels and prequels and whatnot.
Jing which is such a tragedy. Not everything it's a franchise.
(27:56):
Not that there's anything wrong with the franchisers, but I
dare say the greatest movies of all time are just standalone.
You know, for one off films.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
You think it would stifle some creativity, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You will?
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Now, while we're on the subject, I'm surprised it's taken
this long, But just in time for Christmas, Mariah Carey
has got her own Barbie doll. She comes with a
microphone accessory and she's wearing a silver butterfly ring. Now
you can listen to Mariah and play with Mariah all
Christmas long. Jennifer Lopez has just announced her upcoming album
(28:33):
This Is Me Now, is going to be accompanied by
a movie of the same name, co written by Hubby
Ben Affleck. Doesn't hurt to have an Affleck in the family.
According to the press release, This Is Me Now, the
film offers the truth behind the headlines surrounding Lopez's life.
It's going to stream on Prime Video. And Kim Kardashian.
I know people love to hate Kim Kardashian. Well, if
(28:54):
you already hate it, this is going to make you
hate him more. Hates a bit of a Harshwood. She
has sold a movie to Netflix that hasn't even been
written yet. She's going to produce, co write, and star
in the yet to be made comedy called The Fifth Wheel,
and she has sold the idea of it to Netflix
(29:14):
after a major bidding war between five different studios. I'm
not sure what it's about the Fifth Wheel, but I'm
guessing it's about Courtney
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Sorcerer, Milk Studio One Crazy, and Lisazam
