We dive into first impressions of Spider-Man 4, breaking down the newly revealed suit and what it represents for Tom Holland's character, while exploring how Sony is managing leaks and building anticipation a year before release.

• The blended Spider-Man suit incorporates elements from both the original and Amazing Spider-Man designs
• Tom Holland's excitement about returning to the role alongside Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton
• Sony's strategy of officially releasing images to counter unofficial set photos
• Speculation about villains and potential connections to Jon Bernthal's character

After discussing recent streaming platform preferences and the decline of Netflix as our go-to service, we review several recent films including The Naked Gun, Freakier Friday, Weapons, and Together.

• The surprising effectiveness of Liam Neeson's deadpan delivery in The Naked Gun
• Why Freakier Friday works as a sequel 20+ years later with returning stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis
• The standout performance from Jamie Lee Curtis embodying teenage mannerisms in an older body
• The creative popcorn bucket design that perfectly ties into the body-switching theme
• The effective mix of nostalgia through cameos from the original cast while telling a fresh story

Speaker 1 (00:05):
excuse me, is anybody sitting here?
Sorry, this is taken.
Sorry, how do you feel aboutthe first look of spider-man 4?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I am loving everything that I'm seeing.
This is how you buildanticipation a year out, for
everything from the suit to theset pieces.
Uh, I'm not a fan of the thatall the leaks so far but I think
they're controlling it.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I?
Well, first of all, thespider-man suit looks awesome.
I'm really happy with it.
It looks really cool.
Tom holland looks like he'she's excited for it.
He's excited.
He just came with a video todaywith him like um buddying up
with a director and everythingthat who is also the director of
shang chi.
It looks good.
It looks good.
I'm excited for it.
Yeah, like there are.
There is a lot of releases likeum hinting about who the
villain may be, and we also seejohn bernthal's character a

(00:51):
little bit um in his new show.
So there's a lot going on, butI'm excited for it.
It's a year out from now.
I would say like four or fivemonths.
We're not even gonna rememberany of this stuff.
Wait, that's why I I'm notreally upset that they're
releasing some stuff now and Ireally thought that was really
cool and smart for Sony for liketo release the official look of
the Spider-Man suit, becauseday one people were out there

(01:13):
recording which I was so jealous.
That was really cool to seeSpider-Man in action.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, I mean, I felt the exact same way, like
genuinely, and I don't think,think they.
Maybe they announced it alittle bit beforehand, but I
just remember opening up twitterand being like holy, here.
It is like in it I don't knowif you noticed, but it obviously
blends like a lot of theoriginal spider-man with the
amazing spider-man suit, whichis like how I feel about tom
holland, like he's a perfectblend of spider-man and peter

(01:40):
parker.
So I am all here for it yeah,I'm very excited for it.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Um, it's been a minute since we talked about
movies, so we weren't here lastweek, but, um, this, this
episode's gonna be jam-packedwith movies like, we're gonna be
talking about freakier friday,we're gonna talk about the naked
gun, uh, together weapons andthe new number one netflix movie
in the world I think it brokerecords for netflix itself is is
K-pop Demon Slayers.
I know you haven't seen it, butI know you're dying to go see

(02:08):
it.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm going to see it right when we end this.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I've been streaming a lot of throwback movies.
I like to watch 80 movies Ijust watched this morning see no
evil, hear no evil.
Richard Pryor hilarious myfirst time watching it was
hilarious great throwback yeah,yeah, yeah, I've been trying to

(02:34):
look for stuff to watch onnetflix because netflix is
probably my least when I go onmy streaming system.
What about you?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
isn't that crazy.
It used to be the go-to.
Like that's where obviouslynetflix and chill comes from,
because, like everybody always'swhere obviously netflix and
chill comes from, because, likeeverybody always had access to
netflix.
But obviously with thecrackdown on password sharing
and just overall content, Istill think if you're looking at
like overall quality, I'mturning into like a apple right
now hbo for sure, um, but I'm abig peacock guy for like my

(03:01):
day-to-day shows I 100 agreewith peacock and apple does have
, like um, better underratedquality, uh, quantity of those
stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
You know, what I just watched, an apple tv, was the
grunge.
For the first time is that whatit's called the grunge, with
miles teller and um?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
oh my god, uh, dude, and uh, uh uh anna taylor joy an
Joy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is Okay, just very quick.
What'd you think?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
That was interesting.
They had a lot.
I feel like it was not a goodbalance at all between the
sci-fi and the romantic side ofthe story.
It wasn't a good blend for me.
Like, all right, and I don'tknow, like these creatures and
monsters coming up from thistrench that they signed up for I
had no idea about, I was like Idon't know.
I don't know.
I love seeing them togetheracting.

(03:47):
I thought they were like areally, really believable couple
.
Um, the number one rule wasdon't talk to the other side.
The first thing they do wasstart talking to each other.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Because and that was like my whole gorge, I think it
was called um I I did, I likedit enough where it didn't like I
didn't leave angry, but it was.
It should be a case study onwhen a movie can't make up what
it wants to be, like itgenuinely couldn't make up its
mind.
When it was doing like the lovestuff, I was like all right,
the little knot to him playinguh drums like a whiplash and her

(04:21):
doing the little chest like inuh queen's gambit.
But then, like the random, Isaid what is this underworld
shit?
It actually caught me off guardI never even put this together.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
the whiplash and the queen's gambit together that was
a pretty smart uh connection,good goodies.
I just love my host toddler.
He's such a good actor, andthen I'm.
I was like I haven't seen himin a while, too much new, so I
threw that on.
I think I see new.
He's coming out with a moviesoon With Scarlet Witch,
elizabeth Olsen.

(04:53):
Have you seen the trailers forthat?
I can't remember what it'scalled.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I haven't done it.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
But the concept looks so interesting to me.
For those who don't know, isthis movie coming out?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I know I'll be sad.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know what it's about right.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I know about it, but I haven't looked into it at all.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
So Miles Teller I can't remember the other
gentleman's name who wasstarring in it Scarlett
Johansson lost her husband, herfirst husband, Like he died
tragically when they were young.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Scarlett Johansson or Elizabeth.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Olsen, elizabeth Olsen, young, um, starla
johansson, elizabeth, elizabetholsen, sorry.
And then so she decides to moveon in her life, like later in
life, and she ends up meetingmiles teller's character and
they get married eventually,okay, so then, um, they die.
I forgot, I don't know how theydie, if it was an accident or
what, because they do look youngin heaven or something like
that.
Now the choice is you can onlyspend the rest of eternity with

(05:43):
one person, and she is the wholemovie is deciding if she wants
to spend it with her firsthusband or her newer husband,
like it's a definitely Sophie'sChoice kind of movie.
But I don't know, that is tough, especially I think it's
relatable for people who aremarried more than once like,
what do you do in that situation?
It's kind of going to be likethe materialist, where they have
to pick one.
So that's what kind of vibes?

(06:03):
It's going to be like thematerialist where they have to
pick one.
That's the kind of vibes I'mgoing to get Dude, funny enough.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
the reason why I didn't remember it is because I
saw it on TikTok first.
I was like scrolling and I sawthe little ad and like genuine
hey, the job of a trailer iswhat To increase your
anticipation or awareness of amovie.
So I was like locked in and Iwas like this feels fake.
This movie doesn't seem likeit's actually going to come out,

(06:33):
but I'm going to be sat in thetheater.
It looks right up my alley.
Not really a rom-com, juststraight rom, and I'm here for
it.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think this is like a biggest year for
romance movies.
More recently, I mean last year, I can only remember like two
that I've seen, at least Ishould say um, but there's one
between the materialist and,like you know, a lot of netflix
movies.
There are a lot more romancemovies.
I would say this year um, Iknow you haven't seen a lot of
it'll be better than thematerials yeah, yeah, just for

(07:04):
this.
Oh, I don't know because I'llsay I was gonna say because
miles holland elizabeth, but healso had peter pascal and chris
evans.
Um, I would say yeah still, Ijust couldn't get over the
cheesy writing with dakotajohnson.
I just don't like her I, I.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It keeps me up at night that you haven't seen the
end of that movie.
I think about it at least everythree days.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I like wake up in a cold sweat and I'm like we gotta
get them back yeah, I don'tknow, maybe once it starts
streaming I'll check it out um,but I you know big news, movie
news, like I just crossed over100 episodes for um movies this
year so far I did see that it'sit's pretty late.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I was gonna say I like that.
It wasn't even a celebration.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was like damn, I'm falling behind, like usually,
I'll hit the 100 mark aroundjune.
I would say, yep, june is ago-to, but I've been way more
selective this year pickingwhich movies I watch because, uh
, I remember the first year Idid this podcast, I watched
every single movie that came outand I was like more than half
of them sucked.
So I was like I want to be moreselective what I watch.

(08:12):
Um, yeah, yeah.
So do you have tracks of where,how far you are yet?

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think I'm at 86 oh damn, so I'm still trailing
behind you.
Yeah, yeah, but I I same as you.
I think you remember me andDanny did that big movie
competition, um, and once I hitover 300, like it's, it's hard,
like I am now very selectiveabout what I watch and very
intentional with that, but I'malso busier at work and stuff.

(08:39):
I mean I mean this weekend I'vealready seen like three or four
movies that I haven't evenlogged yet.
So you know it, just when Ihave the time I go crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
That is another thing .
I keep falling behind andlogging some of these movies,
dude.
Well, what I'm talking aboutfirst is the Naked Gun.
We didn't talk about this movie.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well, we didn't do an episode last week, but we both
want to go see the Naked Gun,liam nissen nissen and pamela
anderson, who are um, I guess acouple now.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Did you see that?
Dating in real life, hell yeah.
Dating like um dating umdoesn't mean to say but like
dating a supermodel after aprime is like I don't know
listen, man, I remember uh, Idon't know if you know this kid
Brandon Cavins.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
He went to middle school, high school, with him In
his game room.
I'll never forget it.
First time I've ever spent thenight at a friend's house, he
had this game room, had the TV,had a little arcade and right in
the middle was a throwbackcalendar beach calendar with
Pamela Anderson.
And that was during myformative years.
So you know what she can be in,whatever she wants, I I'll,

(09:50):
I'll be next to her at any stagein her life.
She's still fine and she still,uh, can bring it she looked
good in the movie.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I'll give her that she looked good in the movie.
But then I see a set likepictures of her off camera, like
with her private lives, like,oh, like you definitely could
tell like she had paid hollywoodmakeup, um, but then it was fun
.
It was a fun watch.
Like I went in there like ifyou go in there zero expectation
for plot, like just wanting togo in there for jokes.
Seth mcfarland was a produceron there.

(10:18):
I can 1000 which jokes he hadhis input in, because it was
very much like a family guymovie, I mean a family guy show
episode.
Um.
But how do you feel about liam?
This one, like I know we talkedabout, like I talked about like
how I don't know if I could seehim in that funny role, like
that.
But, um, yeah, he surprised melike how serious it was, like,
oh, how funny he was.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Just say well, and you just you nailed it exactly
because of how serious he was ishow he knows.
You know what?
I was talking to somebody elseabout this and obviously he
makes like a cameo in ted or ted.
Yeah, I think, um, and he'shilarious.
He brings that exact same vibe,like his deadpan humor.
The reason why it works isbecause he's taking this so

(10:59):
seriously and like he commits tothe bit, and other other actors
obviously would have tried toham it up or tried to be funny.
He's just like literal deadpanhumor works for me.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
he was yeah, a thousand percent.
But I think most of the what Ifound was funny was like a
supporting cast like there was.
There was a lot of cameos inthis movie that was so hilarious
.
Uh, the guy who just playedmoment excuse me, I'm sorry.
I love this actor, but uh paulwalter hauser so funny and
everything he does.
I love him.
I love the scene in the musketshow, um, I think you should
leave now.
He's funny in that episode.

(11:32):
Um, he was just fantastic, forhe was.
He was one of the highlights ofthe movie.
Such a hilarious guy.
I wish he got a little bit morescreen time in this movie, but
um, liam nissen stole the show.
Pamela anderson was great in it.
The props were great, the funnygags.
It was, I would say, almostclean.
There are some stuff jokes likereused from past movies, like
the, the scene where the nightvision goggles where like it

(11:55):
looked like they were doingsomething sexual and it just let
them clean the oven orsomething like that that was
easily.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I was gonna say I was gonna ask you uh later about
your top moments, top threemoments for me.
After that movie I was actuallydying the entire time yeah, he
was, it was.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was such a fun one .
I went to go see with my dadand, um, he had a great time
with it because we just I willwe started watching the first
one together, like, um,re-watching it, um, I've seen
the second one by myself.
I mean, this movie is just asfunny as the originals.
I would say, like it's nothing,not as funny or nothing less.
The plot I don't even know,can't remember what the plot was

(12:34):
, honestly it was, but I justremember having a good time
watching the movie, which is allthat matters and it, it knows
what it's trying to be like.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's the thing.
Like, obviously, that we justkind of sat on the gorge for for
not understanding the you know,committing to the bit of the of
the movie type, but this one,like they said, we're just gonna
throw a thousand jokes in here.
If they hit, they hit, if theydon't, they don't.
We're already moving on to thenext one.
Like, you're not here to seecharacter development, they're
here to have, like, have a goodtime.
And for that instance it workedfor me me.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, I think they addressed it in the movie, but
it's been 20 years since thelast one, maybe even longer than
that.
I think I did predict.
I didn't think it was going todo well, because I don't think
that kind of comedy existsanymore in movies.
I don't know, I can't rememberthe numbers off that movie, but
I don't hear a lot of peopletalking about that movie.

(13:26):
I should say, uh, liam Neesondid also come out and say, like
he doesn't plan on doing asequel, like he thinks it's
going to be a one-off.
But that's what he says.
That's not what the studio says.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, wait till that paycheck comes.
He he's in his late 70s ormid-70s.
He can't do action anymore.
I watched a movie with him likethe Protege a few years ago,
two or three years ago.
The amount of cuts even in thismovie that it takes for him to
try to look like he's movingquick.
He can't do that anymore.

(13:58):
Lean into what's easiest foryou, what you're good at, and I
think he found a road here.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Do you think this movie would have been better or
worked better if they castedsomeone for, let's say, his, the
original guy's grandson, andit's like a totally young cast?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, I think, like I don't know how else to say it
Like it's Liam Neeson, likeobviously they, you know they
they put all the ingredients inlike a good cast, like a decent
but simple script, that humorstyle.
I think it kind of worked,because he's so out of touch.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
If it would have been younger, I think it just would
have been a lot goofier.
Yeah, yeah, goofy.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
I think we ended up something with Workaholics and
at that point, we could havebeen there done that that's so
funny.
What's Adam Devine?
Yeah, adam Devine, that's whoI'm thinking when you said that,
like I was, like he just wouldhave it would have been more
slapstick.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Uh like, really, really cheesy you could not have
done that.
You could not done almost anycomedy actor.
Uh, just because, like, likeyou said, it would have been too
cheesy, it would have been likethey needed someone straight
forward, like we didn't needsomething to pull off these
jokes.
That's what worked for theoriginal you know guy excuse me
for not remember his name, butuh, that's what worked for him.
Like he's an old guy, like youwouldn't think that kind of
stuff him and watching him anairplane.
And he was the goat.

(15:12):
He was funny with that stuffand I like that.
But um, leonison, I'll give himthe flowers.
He did great.
Pamela anderson was also funnyherself.
She was great.
She looked great.
Like you said, I had a greattime watching it.
Um, I think I would get thismovie like out of 10, probably
like a 7.5 out of 10 in comedythat's we are.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
We are correctly aligned there.
That's exactly what I think.
I uh did see someone say like Irealized though year that this,
the original movie, came out,was the year schindler's list
came out, so he obviously lostthe oscar there too.
I think tom hanks and forrestGump.
Maybe if you would have toldeverybody in that theater at the
time that that guy is about togo do a naked gun sequel in 30

(15:53):
plus years, like you would havebeen laughed off the stage.
But here we are, and I am sohappy we got it.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it was not even a reboot.
I would consider like a sequel,because it's part of the same
world and, um, that's kind ofgoing to be the theme of this
episode, because our big moviewe're talking about is freakier
friday, which the original cameout, I'm not mistaken.
Oh for uh, disney channel.
Um 20 years later, 20 over 20,a little over 20 years later, um

(16:21):
, do you think we needed this?
Were you expecting this?
Were you shocked when you heardthe news?
Do you remember?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
same exact feeling I had.
Um, for naked gun, don't needit, didn't ask for it, but
intrigued I was like okay, Iknow everyone has been waiting
for lindsey loham to like dosomething.
You know, I think we're allrooting for it.
Uh, I would not have I.
You could have gave me amillion guesses.
I wouldn't have thought thatthis would ever get a sequel.
Here we are.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean she was.
She did have a cameo in MeanGirls.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I just came out, not too long ago.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
She was like a 40-second cameo.
You could totally tell shewasn't even filmed with anyone
else there, because she was byherself.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
She came out with a couple netflix specials.
I don't know if you rememberthose like um holiday ones,
cheesy as acting, it was ahallmark top movie, I remember.
I do remember the hallmark one,uh, or the hallmark light, but
yeah, very forgettable.
I didn't watch them.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
You know like I was just like oh, that looks ass but
when I heard like they'remaking a freaking friday too, I
instantly like, no, it's notgonna work.
It's why like, like, those kindof plots don't work in today's
world.
I feel like you know, it's verydifferent.
But man did.
I ended up biting my tonguewith that because this movie

(17:36):
freakier friday that just cameout I was like how can they take
the same idea and make it fresh?
And I feel like they.
They did find a good balancefor that.
They did find a way to honor theoriginal movie and make it into
today's world there are a lotof cheesy writing, don't get me
wrong, a lot of cheesy jokes andstuff like that, but I had fun
along the way um lindsey lohanand um her mother jamie lee

(18:01):
curtis.
Jamie lee curtis excuse me, I'mso bad with names today jamie
lee curtis.
Like it was just fun seeingthem screen together, together,
interacting.
They were so funny.
They look like they had so muchfun and, I think, a big reason
to indicate how much fun theywere having on set.
No one does this anymore, butthey have bloopers at the end of
those credits oh man, I lovedevery.
I wish I could have more yeah,they don't do that in any movie.

(18:24):
I mean it would have been coolto see the bloopers in Naked Gun
.
Yeah, that would have beenhilarious.
I mean they do want to savestuff for the DVD special and
stuff like that, but seeing itat the end credits scene I was
like that's what you're going toleave.
That's the last thing you'rethinking of in the movie.
Oh, it was a fun time makingthe movie because they're all

(18:50):
laughing.
I think that was genius.
I love when movies do that.
They didn't need to do that alittle bit more.
You know what they did do.
I think they did that on um.
I don't know if you ever seenit.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I think it's called deep water, with ben affleck and
um uh uh, anna de armas anna dearmas.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Like they did something at the blue.
I don't think it was bloopersat the end, but it was like a
slick around random outtake withum, their child actor, singing
a song at the end of it, likekind of in a totally fun tone.
But that movie was so dark andlike it was random it didn't
work with that no, I I do know.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
The one that it did work for me was with, uh,
deadpool versus wolf parade,when they had like all the
behind the scenes, like from allthe like fox movies, like
during the credits, like that'ssomething I liked.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
That was, that was a good, heartfelt like one like
from all the like Fox movies,like during the credits, like
that's something I liked, thatwas, that was a good, heartfelt,
like one like saying that waslike a really good buy, really,
um, popcorn buckets let's talkabout that real quick, because
we talked about a little bit onthis podcast.
I didn't think it was as cooluntil I started seeing videos of
it and I see it in a person.
I really did want to buy it,but I'm not.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I was no, I, I knew you'd come around.
I said it then.
I'll say it now best popcornbuckets of the year by far.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
It was so I lean into the cheese man it was so simple
but so creative at the sametime.
For those of you who don't know, it's a set, it's a popcorn
bucket.
It's a popcorn bucket that'sactually your cup and you drink
from it.
It's like a little straw thatpops up out of it and then the
cup is actually your popcornbucket.
It has like a lid that lookslike ice and soda in there, but

(20:15):
you take it off and there's apopcorn in there.
Genius, genius like tosymbolize, like the switching of
the bodies in this movie.
It was fun, it was a good movie.
Um theater experience.
Did you go see this opening day?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I did, uh, that was I kept making the joke.
Freaky friday on a thursday, uh.
But I did, uh, I did go upthere at 7pm screening.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
And how was it?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
It was full, not like as packed as it usually is, but
a nice little crowd of peoplemy age, which I think really was
the differentiator.
I looked around and I was likethere's not a person that you're
younger than 18, that's notsomeone older than 35, you know
35.
Like it was that era which Idon't know if it's going to help

(21:04):
or hurt, but yeah, because ofthat no distractions kind of
just was able to lock in andhave a good time.
How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I hadn't seen this on Friday because I want to go see
weapons on Thursday.
That was so many day because Iwent to go see Weapons on
Thursday because that was theopening day.
I did have one of my friendsshe's been on the podcast before
Tori, who does movie reviews aswell she reached out to me and
she said she's going to go seeit on Wednesday because Disney+
if you had a Disney Plussubscription, I believe you can
see it on Wednesday.
Oh my God, here we go again.

(21:31):
On top of that, she did adouble feature because they were
showing the original freakyfriday and freaky friday back to
back, with intermission inbetween.
I thought that was pretty cool.
I wish I could do that, becauseI did.
I haven't re-watched freakyfriday prior to seeing this
again, like in a while, butafter watching I came on.
The first thing I did was watchthe original freaky friday.
Um, but it was my theater wasfriday and I went there and I

(21:57):
like a later.
No, I didn't.
No, I'm sorry, I didn't gofriday.
I was gonna go fridayoriginally, but I went saturday
and was set in the afternoon and, um, I was sitting in the
parking lot waiting to go in.
I'd seen like a family, asingle mom with like five kids,
and I was like, oh, that'spretty cool, like you know,
making memories with the family,and I was like, oh man, that
was a heartfelt moment.
I was like, oh, that's prettycool, like you know, making

(22:17):
memories with the family, and Iwas like, oh man, that was a
heartfelt moment.
I was like, oh shit, they'rewalking in my theater.
I was like I immediatelychanged tone.
I was like, damn dude, thesekids are going to be all wild
and shit.
They were like less than 10.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh yeah, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I walked in my theater.
It was not packed packed, butit was a good handful of people
there, all mixed ages, like someway older than me, some way
younger than me, like it was agood mix in them.
There was moments whereeverybody laughed a lot, which
is awesome.
Uh, overall, I I cannot saygood enough good thing.
I don't think I have anythingnegative to say about this movie

(22:52):
.
Really freakier friday.
The only thing negative I haveis the ending with the original
song they made for this movie.
I kind of wish they would havemade it another rock and roll
song instead of like a like apop mom and daughter song.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, but you know what, let them have it.
You know, that's how I felt,like I think I'm similar to you
when you said like you had tobite your tongue.
I did go into this and I hate,like trying to put my
expectations on movies Like thisis going to be terrible.
You know, like I was like readyto make fun of it and I
remember halfway through I liketurned to my person I was
watching with and I was justlike this shit's winning me over

(23:27):
man.
It's genuinely charming, likeI'm having fun, like absolutely
enjoyed it, I mean enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I mean, there's a lot of cameos from the original
movie.
A lot of people did come backfor this like um, the probably
my favorite cameo that I I wishthey had a bigger part in the
movie was the younger brother.
He was in there for like alittle bit.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
He looks the same he was the same, but with a
receding hairline.
Crazy and so crazy this.
This movie made me feel sofucking old too, so old for a
lot of moments when they'retalking about like the knees
crack and I was like damn, likethat is my life now but I also
like think that was that one ofmy favorite jokes in the movie

(24:06):
was like uh, lindsey lowen andjamie lee curtis, like they're
in the younger bodies, like, oh,we can eat whatever we want now
.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
So they, instead of trying to figure out how to get
back, they take advantage of it.
They go on a buffet like um,eating a ton of stuff everything
.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Or when, like again, they uh crash the scooters and
they're like nothing's broken.
I'm invincible, like 100 can uh, can go back and feel that.
But I think the most importantthing that works for me in this
movie is it.
It stands on its own, likeobviously it helps, and like,
yeah, it's good if you watch it,but like this is its own movie.
And it it stands on its own,like obviously it helps, and
like, yeah, it's good if youwatch it, but like this is its

(24:39):
own movie and it like builds onthe themes of the first one.
So I, I was, I was a massivefan, I I liked it way more than
I did.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I thought it deserved or like that I thought it would
even uh be on my scale one ofthe things that really impressed
me is like um, the first oneit's just in the.
In the first one it's Anna andher mom, tess, who switch bodies
.
And this one they're switchingbodies with Lindsay Lohan's
daughter and her futuredaughter-in-law or stepdaughter
sorry, her future stepdaughter.

(25:08):
And I was like, ok, now we'regoing to have four people
stories to follow.
That's going to be too much,it's going to be too confusing.
I'm only going to want tofollow Lindsay Lohan and Jamie
Lee Curtis, but that definitelywon me over.
Oh, I was genuinely interestedin what these other people were
doing too.
It wasn't just about Jamie LeeCurtis feeling young again or

(25:29):
feeling good in the younger body, it's also Lily's character as
well who was switched with JamieLee Curtis.
She was Lily's character aswell who was switched with Jamie
Curtis, like she is just likefeeling old.
She also was one of thosepeople.
I think a lot of the youngerpeople they don't give a fuck
about old people and like thiskind of helped her understand a
little bit.
You know, it was a good mix.
Like I was, I was happy withthe balance going back and forth
.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Actually, I was kind of worried about that going in
very much and two big things forme too were obviously like I
don't know with you.
I have a huge issue with kidsand movies like typically they
piss me off because they alwaysmake them like so, like
characterized like so, like allthe way to extreme, at least
here.
Like they were annoying butlike for the 90 of it I was like

(26:11):
I could see how a teenagerwould make that decision or you
know, like I could see thembeing like stupid, like that,
but by far and away standoutperformance.
Give her another oscar, jamielee curtis, bro, embodying this
teenage vibe when they weredoing like the mirror shit and
she's just like freaking out.
I was actually laughing out loud, like ripping my seat, like

(26:33):
belly laughing, like she didsuch a.
I always compare like to me thegold standard of like body
switch movies is funny enough.
Jumanji with like the rockingkevin hart, like I don't know
why, but they, they really didthis like.
This is right up there for me,like I really love when I can
genuinely believe that yeah,there's a teenager in that body
and they absolutely crush itthere I also think this is jamie

(26:55):
lee curtis.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Now, like she's at the age where she just has a lot
of fun, like I've seen watchingher doing the press tour uh,
you know, going to theseconcerts and stuff like that.
You see her just living herbest life, like laughing, joking
.
You even see in the lasthalloween movie too, where, like
with her personality comes outa little bit more versus the
traditional character that'salways scared, like she's
definitely a badass and sheembrace.
It's like she's embracing beinga woman, being an older woman,

(27:18):
just being a female, um, justbeing human at all.
Like she's just embracing itand like really owning what she
does.
And that's just her charactersand a lot of her movies anymore.
Like even in um, I just toldyou I finished watching the bear
, she she kills it in the bear.
It's way different kind of tone, like she's very emotional and
she's good at it, um, but that'slike the throw, what that

(27:40):
throws me off, but like reallyliving.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
When you say range, this is what I mean.
Like I'm watching her in thebear two weeks ago being like
this crazy, like distraught,emotional, toxic, manipulative
mom, and then in this one I seeher being the support of crazy,
like yes and grandmother, andlike then a teenager version of
herself, like genuinely, this islike.
You know, some people I mightbe like getting tired of them.

(28:04):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
She refreshes it every time yeah, I mean, she
plays like a traditionalgrandmother in this one too,
like undermining the parent.
You know lindsey law and she'strying to parent, but she's like
, oh, it's okay, you can comelive with me instead, or
something like that.
You know she definitely it's atotally different character from
the first one, but that's howthat's real.
That's like, uh, it's somethingrelatable, like all of our
parents become a lot easier withthe grandchild and stuff like

(28:26):
that.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
My mom does it with my niece all the time and um, I
do it with my, my sister's kidslike I, 100 get that yeah, I and
I mean also what helps her havefun in the set is just being
together with Lindsay Loewen.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
They know that what they're doing is going to be
something special and it's a lotof pressure on them.
So, I mean they not that I knowof, I don't think they acted
together since then and theyknew when, like the first one, I
wouldn't say it was not until,like it started coming on disney
plus I mean not disney pluslike a disney channel a lot that
it caught a lot of traction.
I mean lindsey lion, it was hotwith disney at the point, but

(29:01):
they didn't have streaming.
They really didn't know how bigit could have gotten back then
because, like, the only thingyou had to go rent them a dvd.
Now we can just watch them onour phones on our bus or
something, um.
So they knew they had somethingspecial here, like something
that could definitely bring thatback, and I think I would love
to see the numbers on theoriginal one, how much those
numbers went up too.
Um, because I definitely, likeI said, it made me want to watch

(29:23):
it right away.
Genius, genius, all the wayaround.
Like I said, we weren'texpecting it, it did.
I think I said the same thing.
I think we have to get more,too, like I hate movies that
wait so long to make a sequelwith it.
Just it's because it just seemslike a cash grab kind of thing,
like they knew that the firstone was very successful.
And adam sandler, I don't seehim doing a sequel unless he

(29:44):
really believes in the script,and I should have trusted a
little bit more because thatmovie was great.
And the same thing with thisone too.
Like I, I was doubting it allthe way until, like even the
trailers.
I kind of doubted some of it,but I had such a good time.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
I had such a good time to just to that point too,
like I also.
You know, the longer the thewait for the sequel, the more
irks me or stresses me out.
But then you have this otherzone where you wait so long it
makes sense because, like thisone, it made sense like, oh, she
would have a daughter by now.
Like you, you can actually dosomething more with that.

(30:18):
Because what would a sequellook like for that five years
later?
Like nothing.
Now, that's a cash grab.
But same thing with, like a TopGun, maverick, where it's like
all right, let's see whereMaverick is and like how you
know the next group of Top Gunsare.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Like when you wait long enough.
Where you hit this sweet spot,it's, it's.
It's perfect for everyone.
I mean this also, besides jamielee curtis and, uh, lindsay
lohan.
Julia butters, who played thedaughter, really surprised me
how well she's doing, and itdoesn't.
I should be.
She was also like a little girlin um once upon a time in
hollywood and she was.
I heard an interview.
Lena lecarpio actually calledthe next meryl streep, which I'm
sure he was just being nice,but what a compliment.
And she did great in this movie.

(31:00):
I liked her a lot better thanthe other one, sophia Hammonds.
Yeah, mostly because of theaccent.
We talk about not liking childactors, but given the forced
fake accent in the movie, I meanI guess that was part of the
character too.
She was trying to embodysomebody else.
That's what it was, but thatjust kind of annoyed me.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
But uh, did you ever watch the show Austin and Allie?
no, but I was aware of it shehas a very uncanny resemblance
to the girl who plays that, tothe point where I I looked at
again I was like oh, that's,that's your mom's little nanny.
And then I was like I'm wrongonce upon a time in hollywood
and I was like proud of her,like hell, yeah, I'm glad you're

(31:45):
getting those roles.
But I was also couldn't, like I, I had a screenshot like side
by side, like the entire timeit's.
It's so weird to me, random,tangent, but yeah, very, very
much so, uh, happy to see her.
She was also in gray man.
I think that's the first time Irealized that she grew up, um,
so I'm excited to see whereshe's gonna be definitely.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I mean, she's still very young which I would give I
don't know how old.
Let me see she's 16.
Oh really, I thought she's oldnow.
I was like I'll say, like, um,she's definitely gonna have a
good movie career.
Then I would say, um, you gottaremember this movie.
This movie was made by disney.
So I'm like, oh man, this isgonna be disney channel actors
or acting kind of thing.
I was a little bit and you dosee some of that, mostly with

(32:25):
the kids um, but then you gottaremember, like the first one was
disney too.
Like our standards for a society, like what a teenager is, it
has changed so much.
I went back and re-watched theoriginal lindsey lohan's, like
in the grunge stage, like in theemo stage, and I can't with a
band and stuff like that.
This one is completelydifferent.
Like their problems are so muchdifferent than what we had back

(32:48):
in the day.
Like this her first problemswere like she's in the band and
she was meeting boys and stufflike that.
You take all that out andreplace those.
I like how they just didn'treplicate that, they just didn't
, yeah, any of that.
She's not, even though she's noteven um a musician, but
especially as a surfer.
So you keep the hobby the same.
I mean, like the idea of ahobby the same, but change the
hobby.
Um, that's how great idea tokeep it fresh.

(33:10):
And instead of like having herboy troubles, you get the
trouble of having to move to anew city, new country, even like
to start a new life and likeleaving all your friends behind,
like it's a totally differentkind of decision-making.
Um, she also Lindsay Lawrencecharacter meets and gets engaged
to a man, eric Rays, who playsby Manny Jacinto.

(33:33):
Do you know who that is Like?
Who he's from?
The good place I don't know ifyou've ever seen that show.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
The good place, oh, okay, no, I missed that one oh,
it was a good show, but that's.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
I've seen them on um chela for there.
Um, I don't like how they metand got engaged within six
months and we're getting marriedwithin six months and I also
just didn't like there was ascene in the car like driving to
school or something like that,and he's like already parenting.
The lindsey lohan daughter,like tana, was like I don't like

(34:01):
that.
That's kind of weird dude.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
No, it was definitely a sped up, but I I ignored it
100 because when they wereflipping through I turned and
said watch the last date beoctober 3rd, like for me and
girls.
And I'm like sure as shit.
I looked back and they did likethe calendar october 3rd
wedding, like for Mean Girls.
And then, like sure as shit, Ilooked back and they did like
the calendar October 3rd weddingdate.
I was like alright, if that'sthe plot device you need to do
to throw a little Easter egg inthere, fine.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I mean, according to Lindsay Lohan, that was
completely by accident.
They didn't realize it was.
Though.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Okay, nobody in the writer's room, nobody noticed
that.
Shut that one.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I'm still mad about the six month thing, but I was
like you didn't have you couldhave said it was like a full
year at least.
Later I was like six months iskind of moving fast, like for
you to be telling my kid what todo.
I was like speeding through itactually yeah, and he was like
seriously, I like how he didshow how much he loved it,
though like towards, likethroughout the whole movie, I
should say and that was like thewhole thing, like just that

(34:57):
unconditional, like well.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
But I also think that , like for two people who were
hurt, like like widowers,basically like damn y'all quick,
but when you know, you know, Iguess yeah, mark carmen comes
back to play ryan, which is theum jimmy lee curtis's husband in
the movie.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
He looks just the same, just grayer very cool to
see him in there.
I went back and re-watched thefirst one.
This guy's like the most chill,laid-back kind of guy and he's
still that guy in this one.
There's a scene at the endwhere, like jimmy lee curtis,
she's still uh, sophia, sorry,she's still lily, and ryan sees
him, her, crying.
He's like, ah, I think youshould handle this one.

(35:35):
I'm good.
I was like that's your wifecrying.
It's like, okay, there's asmall, I get it for the plot,
but like he was he was justhaving to play terrible, you
know yeah, um, jake jake.
In this movie played by chadmichael murray.
I liked how they brought hischaracter back and I loved how

(35:57):
it was so funny how he was waystill more into the mom than
lindsey long in trance, bro, andhe was just like, hey, uh, hi,
like he was just I.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
At first I was like, uh, do I need to see him again?

Speaker 1 (36:11):
but he did so good and you know what, lock in,
everyone's got a type even like,um, his date I don't know if he
caught that his date at thewedding was dressed up like her
mom or in the first movie alsowho came back and I like I like
how the they could have broughthim back as a bum or something
like that.
I like how they kept him uplike he was still handsome, he's

(36:33):
still doing great business andstuff like that.
Um, I and then it's like oh,it's your old boyfriend.
I'm like I watched the firstone, like did she end up with?
like it's kind of weird, like ifyou were into my mom, like I
don't want to be with you yeah,that's strange but then um, who
also came back, was the teacherfrom the original, from the um

(36:55):
original, and lindsey loin islike, oh, you're not retired yet
, like you're still here and hestill hates that family.
For no reason?
Well, because the mom wouldn'tgo out there.
I'm trying to see who else isin this movie that I can
remember, the two like theoriginal lady with the cookie,
she and her daughter over thereyeah, yeah, I like that and I

(37:18):
like that.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
It wasn't um, because you know what, at first I was
like kind of not hurt, but likeit kind of caught me off guard
when they did the switch and itwas like the palm reading lady.
But I was like, yeah, you knowwhat in this universe like
canonically magic exists, so itdoesn't really matter how it
happens, like uh, I'm gonna goto the same fortune cookie shit
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go offon the ran that a little bit.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
But uh, um, one of the one of the, I just gotta
highlight this actress becauseshe was so funny for no reason
in this movie and that's uh judywho plays in the agent for
their interview where she wouldsee if she was obviously hitting
on the husband, and she wasseen and everything.
That blipper was my favoritetoo, like there's breaking when
she was laughing.
Um, sherry cola makes a cameoin this movie as one of the

(38:02):
announcers in the pickleballgame tournament thing.
She lost a lot of weight,that's why I didn't recognize
her at first.
But she, she looked good, shelooked good.
I don't know if you know whocan picture who that is right
now, but um, I know what you'retalking about.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
I don't know where she's from.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
She's from Not Girl's Trip.
Is it Girl's Trip?
I don't know.
She's a good funny comedyactress though I'm trying to
look up that actress' name whoplays the fortune teller.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Vanessa Bayer Okay.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
She is funny.
I did not like this characterbecause she was very forced into
the plot, her character.
She literally pops up out ofnowhere.
He's like come on, guys, comein here and I'll read you a
fortune.
It's like, okay, that's kind ofweird.
I mean, I get it.
That's a great way for them toreference the original, one like
, oh you guys, lifeline hascrossed before.

(38:53):
It was great.
But the original, like thewaitress just notices a mother
and daughter bickering and thenshe's like I'm gonna take it
upon myself to do this and shegives me a fortune cookie.
Great way, it was very simpleand it was.
It was done.
Nice, this one.
Like I felt very, very forced.
Like it was like okay, like Iget it, we're gonna end up here

(39:14):
eventually and somehow and thisis like a short, cheap way to
get in there like she was on ahidden door.
She also had to do severaldifferent businesses so you can
have like different ways toreach her if you need to.
It it would have been differentissue, but like maybe it was
the traveling fortune teller andyou just don't know where she's
gonna go and they have to gotravel city to city or something
like that to find her atcarnivals or something.
I think that would have been alittle bit better.
Um, and she didn't really evencome back at the end.

(39:38):
She's like at least the, thelast one, like the, the older
lady part of the solution.
Like yeah, celebratory yeah, soI don't know.
I just didn't like that part ofthe movie no, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Actually I didn't even think about that, like I, I
do think it would have probablymeant more if, like, even like,
the jokes about the reviewswere kind of worked for me, but
after they switched back, likeshe would have been like around
me, I'm like, leave me anotherreview, like you know, tell,
tell your friends.
And then the irritation frommac had worked also.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I mean, like the first one, it's just a fortune,
it tells you what you need.
And the second one she getslike possessed by like a demon
or something like that with hervoice and I was like that's
crazy.
Yeah, I was like what, what isthis like?
It's totally different kind ofmagic.
It's dark magic maybe, and it'sso.
Why do the dark magic even careabout these kind of problems?
But I like how they do addresslike they didn't tell anybody

(40:28):
what happened in that firstmovie, which is fucking awesome.
I like it.
They kept that secret.
Uh, I wish they made areference to the grandpa,
because he was a big part of thefirst movie.
He was obviously probablydeceased by now, but it would
have been cool if they mentionedhim at least.
The originals was not SpiceGirls, they're not Spice the
Spice something.
The band, her old band, makes abig cameo Pink Slip.

(40:52):
Sorry, yeah, they make a coolcameo in this movie.
It's the original actress.
Sorry, yeah, they make a coolcameo in this movie.
It's the original actresses.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Yeah, Okay, see, don't make me.
This is the type of movie Ilike to put on a little box.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
It's like oh, it's good.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
If I think about it for more than three seconds, I'm
going to tear it apart.
Because it did aggravate me nowthat I'm thinking about it that
you got this up-and-coming popstar this is like her debut not
her debut, but her big comingout single and then she turns it
over to just another band inthe middle of it.
For the rest of it, I was likethat's not how that works.
Why are they playing multiplestars?

(41:28):
You could be my opener, but I'mthe main event.
They call me, but whatever, man.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
That didn't bother me as much, as much as like just a
new actress, I mean the new popsinger.
I mean like, yeah, she didn'tlook like a traditional pop
singer, but I don't know I don'tknow.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
I'm going to a uh, big time rust concert.
Um I'm jealous.
I'm very jealous oh, hell, yeah,hell yeah.
I didn't know if you're gonnamake fun of it, but uh, it would
be crazy, like I know, back inthe day, I think, like one
direction opened for them orsomething to make fun of it.
But it would be crazy, like Iknow, back in the day, I think,
like one direction open for themor something like which is
still crazy, or but it was notlike they would be playing and
then introduce somebody elseLike, oh, these are the OGs,

(42:05):
backstreet boys come out.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Well, you know what the crazy thing is?
Hannah Montana's going on tour.
I don't know if you've seenthat.
25 and older, 25 and up,someone was saying someone
predicted that Jonas Brothers isstarting their tour soon.
They're saying, like one of theconcerts, maybe the first
concert Hannah Montana's gonnaopen for them or come out with
them, or something like that.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
That would be sick, right that would be a good one
that would be a money maker.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
I like the the 25 and up.
But I was like how can youprove that buying a ticket like
just putting in your date ofbirth or or, or what?
I'm only gonna id you there atthe gates no, you'll probably.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Um, there's, there's age verifications for stuff and
hell yeah the idea I'm at thegate, hell yeah, whatever, I
don't care, I gotta stay in linefor an extra 20 minutes.
Keep those kids at home.
Honestly, they could have donelike 21 and up and I would have
been fine.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
No, no, someone made a video about it on TikTok.
Honestly, I think it should be21 because I grew up with it in
2000.
I was like, no, no, that doesnot count.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
No, this is like the only socially acceptable, like
gatekeeping, that justeverybody's in line with.
Like hell, no dude, like y'all.
Y'all can go listen to it athome, y'all can go vibe, but not
with us in person.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
This is for us yeah, they would be cool.
Big time rush would be cool tosee.
Um, I have some people that Iwould like to go see still, but
I like, I like the idea ofthrowing back and stuff like
that.
Yeah, I, I honestly just wantmy stars to come out with more
music too.
But if you come back as hannahmontana, or maybe what if she
does like an album as hannahmontana, that'd be sick yeah,
that would be crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, then I would like be more okay with like a
younger, uh, like pop star withher, you know, but give me my
nostalgia.
Like I said, big time rush.
I'm bopping to every song onthere a thousand percent.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
You know I'm here for it, I'm not gonna feel bad yeah
, yeah, I'm a big fan of themstill, I still put them on every
once in a while.
Um, going back to the movie, wewent away off.
Like we talked about thebeginning, like at the the end,
the ending is a concert and,like the song, it was an
original song for the movie,which it was a good song, don't
get me wrong but like the lastfirst movie ends with a rock

(44:15):
song, and it was very good.
I wish they did the same thingwith this one.
Yeah, but they did give us alittle taste of the original
song that I can't remember thename, but, um, they did play it
for a little bit in this movietoo.
So, okay, this is pretty muchjust for us to get our our taste
of it.
I can't.
Well, the ending was, you know,very good.

(44:37):
Everyone switched back andstuff like that.
There are a lot of things thatI felt like they were just quick
came.
Like the dancing scene, likethey're learning how to dance,
was a very funny scene, but ifyou take that out, it doesn't
change anything it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
It does not because it's almost two hours.
Yeah, you can shave off 10minutes and be very
inconsequential, like you know.
But I don't know how long thefirst one was and I think, yeah,
like similar, I think it diddrag a little for the third,
like not even actually Iwouldn't even say it dragged in

(45:13):
the last third.
I think it just like kind ofsped to the finish, like once
they had the big fight, it waslike bang, bang, beat, beat,
beat, and then once theyswitched back wedding, it was
like okay, movie's over.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Yeah, which is how the first one was, though the
first one ends like the weddingin the last two minutes.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Yeah, but that's fine by me.
I always am super interested tobe like what did the next day
look like?

Speaker 1 (45:34):
all right.
So if they read me this in 04,what's another movie you would
like to see them redo?

Speaker 2 (45:39):
well, if they could do it good I'm not gonna say I
don't want I just the rumblingsare there's gonna be a second
parent trap oh no, I wouldn'tlike that.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
This movie has a lot of parent chap feels to to it
too.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
That's what, and I don't need to see Lindsay do
both Like that.
You know, maybe 17,.
You know, scratch that itch forme or slingers.
I don't think we need anotherone.
But honestly, if it was up tome, genuinely, you ask me what
nostalgic, like 2000 movie fromDisney Channel era would I want
to see back?
100% Lemonade Mouth.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Lemonade Mouth from disney channel era what I want
to see back 100 lemonade mouthhow many mouth?

Speaker 2 (46:24):
I do remember hearing that title which one's about.
That's the uh band with uhbridget, uh uh menderson, but
now she's like a rocketscientist, whatever, but it's
like just these grunge kids, butthey have music in there that
lasts timeless.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
So I could I mean, I don't know, it wouldn't work now
because they're it's a teenageband and I don't need to see 30
year olds playing, but I wouldbe very happy to bring that back
I really liked on freakingfriday, like when, like, yeah,
the first one they were in aband and, um, this one they're
still a band and, matter of fact, they have like fans like they
tore and stuff like that withtheir legit band, which is very
cool.
Um, for me, just because it'slindsey lohan, um, I would like

(46:58):
to see there were worse talksabout this happening again.
I'm not sure if it's true ornot.
Uh, but life size too, withtyra banks and lindsey lohan wow
, okay, throwback yeah that justunlocked like a core memory.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Huh, my grandmother loved that movie.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Funny enough, uh oh, I remember I was a little kid.
I was a little kid thinking,yeah, tyra banks is bad as fuck
yeah, because she just did uh.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Uh, america's next top model was her show, yeah,
and I distinctly remember likemy family loved that.
So we saw tyra and I, shegetting that disney money.
Okay, all right, throw it back.
That's how her big's beenremembered.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Um hell yeah yeah, uh , we just had a barbie movie
come out too.
Oh man, that would have beensuch a cool cameo, like she came
in there as a barbie that wouldhave been an interesting one.
Yeah, yeah yeah, for sure, forsure, for sure.
Um freak your friday.
What'd you get?
One of the 10?
Now, you made me think about it.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
You changed.
I actually started nitpickingit.
I left the theater giving itlike a 3.5 and I think that's.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I think I gave it the same yeah, right around this.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
See, this is the hard part about movies, because in
my head I'm like it's right upthere with Naked Girl.
I'm giving it an 8.
I'm like it's right up therewith Naked Girl, I squished it,
I'm giving it an 8.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
I'm giving it an 8.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm not mad at you.
I'll probably give it 7.5.
I'm not mad at that at all.
Actually, like you said, youleft the theater having a good
time.
It did a lot better than Iwould have been more mad.
Vice versa, I wish I would haveseen some other stuff, versus

(48:45):
not seeing enough.
You know, 7.5 out of 10.
I did want to go see a coupleother movies that we're going to
talk about too, and have youseen anything?
What have you been watchinglately?

Speaker 2 (48:57):
I've been doing TV man, I've been trying to catch
up on all the shows.
I've been in a Jon Hamm mood soI watch Friends with Neighbors
or that neighbor show on Apple,and then I just finish the Tyler
Sheridan Landman.
He's in Landman.
I just finished that.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
With Billy Bob Thorne .

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Is that the same universe?
I did those.
No, I call it that because hemakes the same genre.
Yeah, like you could tell methat they were connected and I
would be like, yeah, that makessense I did start watching that
too, but um, I just have.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
I think I saw like um once I killed off.
What's his name?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
um louise uh yeah, uh , yeah, louise yeah, yeah it's.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
It's a weird one man, I think, out of all the tyler
sharon.
Yeah, louise Michael Pena.
I don't want to watch itanymore yeah, it's a weird one,
man.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
I think out of all the Tyler, sheridan, yellowstone
, lioness, all that genre, thisis like the weakest one, but
definitely I binged it in threedays.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I think it's a short series.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm in themiddle of Peacemaker, because
I'm still trying to get readyfor season 2.
I think it's already startedout, right?
No, not yet.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm in themiddle of Peacemaker, because
I'm still trying to get readyfor season two.
I think it's already startedout, right?
No, not yet.
Yeah, I'm like more thanhalfway.
Yeah, I'll definitely finish itby then.
But there's some other showsthat I want to start too.
There's a Selena Gomez one onHulu.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
I keep hearing good things about it.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
I want to start Murder in the History Book.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Murder, murderers, only murderers.
Yeah, only murderers in thebuilding, or something like that
.
Yeah, yeah, the way you said itmade me think it was new.
That shows up on season five,yeah, yeah but hell yeah, man, I
haven't watched it either.
Maybe we can do something there?

Speaker 1 (50:31):
yeah for sure.
Yeah, there's some other stuffon my list, but I caught up on
the bear.
It was great, we talked aboutthat and there's just too much.
There's too much shit to watch.
There's just too much stuff towatch, um.
But I do want to talk aboutweapons.
I know you didn't want to seethis movie, um, after watching
it, I think you might have beenable to handle it.
I think you could have handledit.
So the trailer looked veryintriguing to me.

(50:54):
It was josh brolin and juliagardner, so you can't really go
wrong right there.
Um, it's a darker movie, forthose who don't know.
One day in the middle of thenight, like around 2.17 pm or
2.17, am sorry, in the middle ofthe night, all these kids a
group, I think there's 17 kidsthey get up out of their beds,
they run out the front door andthey just go running until dark

(51:17):
and they go missing.
Nowhere to be found, nowhere tobe found, nowhere to be heard,
and it's suspicious because theywere all in the same classroom
taught by julia gardner.
And, um, the whole town kind ofblames her for it.
Just because, like what?
Why?
Just your classroom?
All the kids go missing, exceptfor one kid, only one kid,
shows up to the class the nextday and I don't want to spoil
too much, but I think I don'tknow what I was expecting from

(51:41):
the trailer.
The biggest thing that wasintriguing to me was the mystery
of it.
Where did these kids go?
Like?
And I thought they were goingto be more into like, maybe just
child abducting kind of story,like a real, like basic story.
That would have been great.
But once they revealed what itwas, I was like, oh, there's
just that Like, and then, onceyou, once you reveal what it was

(52:03):
, it's like you can literally doanything from here now, like,
and it has to make sense,because it doesn't make sense in
our world.
You know it, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
It's kind of weird, but um, okay, no, no, no, I I
like it.
The setup that I also heard wasobviously people are like this
is one of the best movies of theyear, like like this this is
the horror movie for horrormovies.
And then the big one is JordanPeele fired his team because
they didn't give him the rightsto this movie, like during the
auction.
So I'm like man, if JordanPeele was that bad that he

(52:33):
didn't get like able to put hisname on this type of movie, this
has to be crazy, you're sayingoverhyped.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
You know what?
The ending?
The first half was phenomenal,it was great.
It did everything it needed todo.
It's not really.
There are a couple jump scaresbut, like, once you find out
what it is, it's just morecreepy versus scary.
Like I don't think this issomething that's going to keep

(52:59):
me up at night.
I let the theater kind ofdisappoint a little bit,
especially the ending.
The ending was more verycomedic.
This movie is funnier than whatyou think.
It is too, um, but the endingwas so comedic I was like, oh, I
don't know if I like that and Ididn't know if it was just me,
if I was in the minority.
And then I listened to a um,the happy, sad, confused podcast
with josh boland.
He was talking about the movieand the way he was talking about

(53:20):
it is like you know what?
That was a good movie, that theway he's describing it and
playing it back and um, hedescribes it as a director
telling him is that almost everycharacter is is based on a
different emotion or reactionthat his like a somewhat as true
buddy had, like um dealing with, like uh, one was, like josh
ball 's character, angry.
He's wanting the one to go outand solve the murder.

(53:42):
Like the second, I was like theteacher's, like very innocent,
like almost in denial whathappened.
And there's other characters,like the principal too, trying
to stay calm.
It's like that.
The principal, who's alsoplayed by um wong from from dr
strange um, um.
And also before I watched thismovie I also heard pager pascal
was supposed to be josh brolin'scharacter but because of the
strikes it all got moved around.
Um, so more than half the moviejosh brolin did phenomenal in

(54:07):
it.
But the whole time I'm like Iwonder how pedro would have
handled.
It would have been good.
Can you imagine if he did do itbetween having this movie,
fantastic four, eddington andthe materialist come out all at
once?
What a big year for him.
That would have been sick, um.
But and then I listened to thepodcast and I thought better of
it.
But then I started talking to afriend who recently saw it and

(54:31):
we're talking.
I was like, yeah, that didn'tmake sense or this they didn't
need to know.
Like we were poking holes in itleft and right and I was like,
oh man, that definitely loweredmy score.
And um, there are some eastereggs in there, there are some
stuff down there like to makethem.
Um, that's confusing.
The funniest thing.
I don't amc must have did thison purpose.

(54:52):
They had to have the movie I.
I booked the movie in theafternoon.
It was a two, the showing was 217.
I was like that's weird oh,that's funny that's weird.
Usually it's two fit like twoo'clock, or 2 15, maybe 2 17.
That's weird.
And it's also the same exacttime all the kids go missing in
the movie 2 17 am.
I was like I wonder they didthat on purpose.

(55:14):
If so, good for them.
That was pretty funny.
Easter egg.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Yeah, they must have 100 percent.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Done that on purpose, yeah I think if you, brandon, I
know you're not into horrormovies this is for anyone who's
not in horror movies I think youcan probably get away with
seeing this and being okay withit.
There are a lot of scenes thatmake you jump, but it's it's not
because it's scary, it's morelike cringy, almost like um,
there's a scene where a coppulls over a junkie and it's
like is there anything in yourpocket this is spoilers anything
in your pocket that could prickme?

(55:41):
He goes no, and of course hesticks his hand in there and the
needle gets his finger.
So that makes you jump, likebecause, like, exactly like that
, like it's kind of gross, likeso I mean it's, it's a lot of
stuff like that.
There are a couple jump scares.
There is a nightmare scenariokind of thing that goes like
kind of scary, I guess, ifyou're home alone, living by
yourself.
Uh, one of the things I didn'tlike about this movie is julia
gardner and this.

(56:01):
I thought this movie was set inthe 70s.
It's set now, so there's likering camera footage and stuff
like that and uh, that's whatmakes it more scary, because,
like, how can you get away withsomething like this?
Now, uh, josh brolin's character, one of the things I didn't
like about the plot.
Not him.
He's very mad.
He's to the point like he'ssleeping in the son's bed trying
to figure out what happened.
He goes to the police.
The police are kind of botheredby him because he checks in
every single day and like, hey,we're working on this, relax.

(56:24):
Just one decides to take it inhis own hands and he he finds
out where the kids are withinlike the first day.
I was like, okay, the cops arefucking idiots.
Then, if nobody, this guy cando it myself.
Justin long makes a good cameoin this movie too, which is
because this is the director.
I can't remember his name offthe top of my head, but this is
the director who debuted withBarbarian.
Justin Long was a big part ofthat movie, so I like how he
brought him back.
Also, justin Long is a big.
Well, he's a comedy too, buthe's a big horror fan, kind of

(56:47):
like Jamie Lee Curtis in a way.
Yep, so Josh Brolin finds outwhere the kids are working.
There's another plot point thatI didn't like, where Julia
Garner's a teacher.
They close down the school fora little bit, but now it's time
to reopen because it's been solong and they have a meeting you
see it in the trailers All thetown gets together for the

(57:07):
school.
It's not to blame anybody, it'sjust a grief counseling thing.
If anyone wants to talk, gettheir feelings out.
But it turns into a hatefulthing against Julie Garner
because everyone thinks she hassomething to do with it, to the
point where she gets literallychased out of that room like and
they had, like the principaland like, helped them, keep away
everybody.
She fucking goes home.
She goes home like you idiot.

(57:29):
Like why would you do that?
And of course people aremessing with her.
Someone wrote witch on her carand like ding dong.
Ditching her place is like youfucking idiot.
Go home or go somewhere elseyeah, where everyone will
suspect you to be her characterwas more drinky too, which is
another emotion to deal with inthis situation, but, uh it, it's

(57:50):
a good movie.
I'm glad I watched it.
I could see jordan's appeal for, like, uh, anger for not
getting this movie.
I think you're gonna asksomething a lot different to
this movie if you were to talk.
I think it would have been alittle bit darker if you did it.
This one had a lot more humor,which I don't think, uh, jordan
peele, unfortunately, would havedid.
Uh, it definitely felt like thehumor from barbarian.
I don't know if you ever seenthat movie, have you?
Yeah, no, it's, it's.

(58:11):
That movie still fucks me up.
That movie still fucks me up,brandon, especially like you.
Like, if you travel a lot ofplaces and like you, stay at the
airbnbs, you're gonna be, youcan't see hell, no, absolutely
not.
Yeah um honestly, I'll probablygive weapons like I still give
it a seven out of ten because itis gonna stick with me for a

(58:31):
minute, for a while all rightinteresting um, okay, I'm also
going to talk about Together,dave Franco and Alison Brie, his
real life wife.
For those who don't know, thismovie is about like A couple who

(58:53):
not newly couple, but theynewly moved away to the
countryside.
They're a codependent Couple.
For those who don't know, it'sreally when you rely on your
partner to basically help youget through the day, rely on,
keep moving, you rely on thisperson to make you feel better,
then you rely on yourself tofeel better.
And it gets to the point wherethis codependency becomes

(59:15):
physical.
Dave Franco does get sick whenshe leaves the house or goes
more than 10 feet away from her,whatever it is.
And it's all because they gohiking in this new place in her
backyard.
They fall into a hole.
It's kind of weird and you getcult vibes out of it at one
point and they realize theystart changing their bodies.
They really need each other.
They try giving each otherspace, but something is calling

(59:37):
them back together and, to thepoint, this movie is where they
merge into one.
It's weird.
Like you could definitelyhandle this one, brandon.
It's more gross than scary it'sbody horror.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
I don't do that man, that's like I.
There's like a, you know allthe levels.
There's like the paranormalshit you know I'm not touching.
I can do like a, you know,slasher film, not a huge jump
scare guy, the creepy stuff.
But body horror like humancentipede, like oh no,
absolutely not so I mean, thisis another one.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
I listened to a podcast interview with dave
franco on three questions.
Um he, the way he talked aboutit, like is he?
I think this uh, excuse me ifI'm wrong, I think he might have
directed this one too, but he'dstarted it with his real wife
and he talked about the processof it.
Yeah, and it's great, it's shot, awesome, it's really good.
And he talked about the processLike it was really good working

(01:00:31):
with his wife, because hecouldn't do, like it's, a lot of
physical touching in this movie.
He couldn't do that with anotherperson On.
They actually live togetherbecause they're, you know, a
couple, so they're allowed to beable to do.
They were able to do a lot ofrehearsing at home and they said
that helped them in the longrun because, like, because they
were the worst at home, they hadmore time to actually get the
shot perfectly in this movie andit it plays off well.

(01:00:52):
You, when I say they mergetogether, you literally see them
merging into one person.
It's kind of gross.
I don't like the ending becauseit just accepted at the end
instead of trying to find a wayout of it.
I don't know what I wasexpecting.
It was more gross than scaryand I was like I probably get
something like a 6.5 out of 10.

(01:01:13):
I probably never going to watchthis one again.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
That's fair.
I was rooting for this one,like, obviously I'm not going to
sugarcoat it, I don't watchthat.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, Idon't watch that.
I'm not ever going to watchthis.
But this is more content formoviegoers, right, this keeps it
like.
This gives us more ideas, allthat fun stuff.
So I like when an actor turns adirector, I think that's.
You know, they bring a reallycool perspective.
Dave frantos seems like areally genuine chill dude.

(01:01:38):
His wife, uh, alice.
They look like they have greatchemistry on and off screen.
So happy to happy for them.
Hope it does.
Well, you know, give them otheropportunities.
Stop making this.
Don't.
Don't make this for me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
I'm not watching this yeah, and a lot of people are
saying this is the year forhorror movies, a lot of great
horror movies.
You know what?
I agree now, because like it'sa lot of original horror movies,
like together, weapons, sinnersthese are all original, they're
fucking amazing, they're good,they're getting people in the
theaters like um.
So I will agree like it's apretty big year for, uh, horror

(01:02:11):
movies this year.
Um, and like you said, some ofthe stuff like you just hear the
word whore and like, likepeople like you like it just
turns you away and I was likethey don't want to do it.
It was like, if I can do it, Idon't.
I think a lot of people could doit.
You could definitely watchtogether.
You just see them come, like,become one.
It is, and the only the thingabout this and um weapons

(01:02:35):
together.
They fall into this cave andsee a bunch of bells with like a
weird symbol on it and, um, Ithink they ring it or something
like that, and that's how theystarted this whole thing.
But you also see a bell inweapons too that had like a
similar logo on it too.
It was like I don't know ifthat was intentional or like a
coincidence, a bad mistake.
But uh, I was like, yeah,that's kind of a theme and you

(01:03:02):
know what.
You mentioned Jordan Peele, andI kind of wanted to bring this
up too, because Jordan Peele didlose out on weapons and he was
petty that he did it and so hereleased the trailer for him on
the same day it premiered.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Oh, that's actually.
I didn't even put two and twotogether.
That's really funny.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
And the new trailer came out and I'm more excited
for it.
We got a little bit more intothe story and it looks good.
Now that with fucking I don'tknow if you've just seen today
or yesterday that real lifeaccident happened with a
football player, detroit onDetroit.
I thought somebody died on thefield no, I think they're still

(01:03:35):
living but hurt real bad.
You see him like seizing almoston the ground.
I was like, oh, it's kind ofbad timing for the movie, or is
it good timing, who knows?

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
I'm not touching that yeah, that's like fucking.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
When um twisters came out last year we had like that
really bad tornado bad tornadoyeah um, the last movie I want
to talk about is k-pop demonhunter on netflix.
This is the number one netflixmovie in the world right now.
It's breaking all kinds ofrecords for original movies.
I watched it just because ofthe hype and it lives up to it.

(01:04:12):
If you're especially if you'reanime fan or just like, like
k-pop, the music soundtrack isamazing and it's fun, it's it's.
There are complaints about themovie, but I think they're just
setting up for sequels to comealong.
There's also talks about makingthis movie in live action,
which I think would be ahorrible idea because there's a
lot of sequences that wouldn'twork live action.
Um, from the get-go, you'restarting.

(01:04:33):
You're starting off stronglywith a lot of action and a lot
of great music and a very likeopening scene very awesome.
Um, ken jong makes a uh, he's avoice, is one of the characters
in there and he's he's prettyfunny in this movie.
One of the biggest things thatthe love uh complaints about is
a love interest.
Um, they don't kiss in thismovie.
Instead, he's the spoiler.

(01:04:54):
He sacrifices himself, uh forthe other one, and that was a
big complaint a lot of people,but I was like it's, it's
fucking anime.
No one says dead, you know it's,it's, he's gonna come back yeah
yeah, I don't know, there's uhtalks about sequels yet, but I'm
definitely gonna be lying towatch it.
I'm honestly playing.
Give us an eight out of tenokay, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
I I think everything, everything that I've heard
about it, leads me to believethat there will be sequels, even
like the.
The music in here is chartingdude, no shit.
The second time I heard aboutthis movie was when I was at my
army training and my, my uhexecutive officer like pulled me
.
He's like you're a movie guy,right.
I was like yeah, yes, sir.
And he's like what'd you thinkof hell is going on?

(01:05:37):
He's like I have kids.
They were listening to it.
I was like, alright, man, Iwill, absolutely.
I told him I was going to watchit before our next training, so
it's on the list.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
We got to talk about what you did to our friend Danny
, though you definitely bulliedthis guy about watching it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
You got to think about it from my perspective.
Okay, I don't know what this is.
I came in, all right, I toldrob the story earlier.
Uh, danny, my roommate, he's abig movie guy, just like us, uh,
but he's on the road so hecomes home and we always fight
over the tv, like you know,sibling drama uh.
And I come out and I'm like allright, you can have a tv.

(01:06:16):
But I turn around and I seelike this movie it's pink, it's
like little boy band going on.
I was like you're not taking upthe tv for this.
So I like rustled him for theremote, turned it off, go to get
the mail.
He had it back on I ran back inthe room, turned it off again.
Absolutely.
He's like you're not even inhere anymore.
It doesn't matter, we're notwatching this in this house.
It's like dude what the fuck no, you can definitely tell him

(01:06:39):
you can definitely tell him he's.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
He's right.
He was right in that argument.
It was such a good movie.
I would definitely watch itagain.
I would definitely watch itagain.
Um, are you being anime too, ornot?

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
really I love, I love anime, man, yeah yeah, you
definitely give it a shot then.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Um, all right, we talked about next episode.
Nobody to.
I don't know we will.
We'll probably mix it in with,like this, like how we're doing
it, but I'm really not lookingforward to that movie.
Bob odenkirk I like him as acomedy.
He's so funny.
He was supposed to be stevecarell's character in the office
, um, but to see this old manbeat up like I don't buy it for

(01:07:22):
context, to everyone listening,rob has not seen the original,
nobody so everything he's saying.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
You gotta watch the person, man, and then you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
It works so the part that like turns me off about the
trailer too.
There's a scene in there where,like some guy picks on his
daughter at a carnival orsomething like that and he's
like you know what?
I'm gonna go back and saysomething to this got and he
beats the shit out of him.
Let this happen in real life.
A white dad and a carnival likestart going off on security,
just beating up people.
Like if you see that shit ontwitter, you're not gonna think
it looks cool, like how it doesin the movie.
Like you're gonna think it'slike yeah, oh, just like a poor

(01:07:54):
guy from portage, like fuckingup shit that's fair, well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Well, you know what?
And I'll give you this, I amslightly over this genre, right,
it's the John Wick movie, likewhy a guy tries to be reserved.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
I would say it's more like Taken versus John Wick,
like an older guy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
When you watch the first one, you'll see what I
mean Okay.
It's very much so.
Like he is a Baba Yaga, like heis this special forces, this
Special Forces ex-assassin typereally capable dude and he's
chill until someone messes withhim who shouldn't.
Similar to In the first movie,they take his daughter's
bracelet and they bring it tohis house and that's where it

(01:08:34):
goes.
Same thing with John Wick thedog or Nicolas Cage.
There's the movie the Pig, orAlright, guys, I get it, the
gun-fu.
Or like, uh, nicholas cage,there's a movie the pig, or like
is that like?
All right, guys, I get the thegun fu.
Um, but I think that's whatthrew me off the most.
Like I, I or violent night, uh,with uh, you know the new, uh,
santa claus movie that goes theexact same way.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
Like that's different .
That's santa claus, though it'slike different copy my homework
, but change it up a little likeit's the same, but that's like
like santa mixed with magic.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
I mean it's the different, copy my homework, but
change it up a little like it'sthe same but that's like like
santa mixed with magic.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I mean it's the same thing with, uh, jk simmons and
the red one.
Like it's big as shit becausebut he's santa, but everybody's
santa.
I mean like it makes sense forhim to do that and, funny enough
, they're making that second uhviolent night.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
But yeah, man, uh, overall I am excited about it,
just because I think, um, notthat we need another action
movie, because actually, nowthat I'm thinking about it,
we've had like a pretty decentblockbuster summer.
But I think this is just goingto be one of those uh popcorn
movies.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
You get to see some people get beat that beat to
hell, some explosions, a littlefamily dynamic and you get to go
home and enjoy your day I think, with the stunt coordinating
and um just becoming part of theoscar nominations now, we're
going to see a lot more movieslike this now, just because
they're going to try to get thenomination granted.
I think this movie was probablymade before that announcement,
so I don't see them going out oftheir way, but I think it will

(01:09:57):
change movies from here on forth, um biggest robbery in history
has been.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Announcing this after tom cruise makes the fifth
final issue impossible, but Ikeep my comments to myself.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
