(00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to KFI AM six forty, the
Gary and Shannon Show on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. What else is going
on? Time for What's happening?Wow? Fine? Well, we're learning
more about the seven people selected sofar for the jury and Donald Trump's New
York trial. The jury foreman welearned in New York, the first juror
(00:24):
seated becomes the foreman automatically. Heis a Harlem salesman originally from Ireland.
Other jurors include an oncology nurse,an IT consultant, a software engineer,
charter school teacher, and there aretwo lawyers. Court in recess today.
Jury selection process resumes tomorrow. Presidentformer president accused of falsifying business records in
(00:47):
order to cover up payments made tothat adult film star just prior to the
election in twenty sixteen. So wehave seven seeded. We were looking for
twelve official jurors, and I thinkthe judge wants at least six alternates.
Yeah, so by Monday we couldsee I can't believe that so quick Monday
we could see opening statements in thisrecord breaking, unprecedented trial. Disgraced former
(01:11):
LA City council member Jose Wesar hasbeen allowed to delay the start for his
thirteen year prison term. The fiftyfive year old former head of the Planning
and Land Use Committee sentenced in January. He's ordered to surrender of federal authorities
on April thirtieth, but he requestedthat his surrender date be pushed back until
August because of something health related.That's it. Separate motion to seal the
(01:37):
application asks for secrecy because the applicationcontains some private medical information. Sounds like
a scam. They believe that agroup of boys and young men, possibly
from LA Unified, are rushing intobusinesses and stealing what they can carry out.
That this is a series of flashrobberies began in early March at stores
(01:59):
throughout Boyle High in South LA.The group is made up of ten to
twenty suspects, all believed to bebetween fifteen and twenty five, and they
go in, they steal clothing orshoes or whatever other merchandise and then get
away on bicycles. Bicycles. Hey, they're doing something active. I do
enjoy seeing children on bikes, butjust not kids that have robbed places.
(02:20):
And again I said this when allthe flash mobs were really, you know,
pretty consistently happening every weekend. Someone'sgoing to get shot and killed,
and it's going to be one ofthese dumb little guys who thinks that this
is funny, and they're going toend up with many, many bullet holes.
Unfortunately, visitors to Disneyland could oneday walk through the snow covered hamlet
(02:43):
of Rndell from Frozen Once you lovethat? Would you skip and sing?
Let it snow? I would say? Or would you build a No?
What is it? Do you wantto build a snow man? I know
that so well? Do you No? You could also, it's a lot
of hard work. You could alsoclimb through the critter filled metropolis of Zootopia.
(03:06):
Ah. All of this thanks tothe unanimous decision by the Anaheim City
Council to approve an almost two billiondollar the Disneyland expansion project. They want
to spend one point nine billion overthe next ten years. I just realized
when I said let it snow,that that was let it go as a
takeoff, Let it snow towerspot.Yeah. Included in this proposal would be
(03:31):
a thirty million dollar commitment from Disneyfor affordable housing throughout the city of Anaheim.
It would include funding for parks,street transportation improvements. Disney is also
estimating nine thousand construction jobs. Iget down to Disneyland, what twice a
year, maybe, and I amstunned anytime I drive by that the whole
(03:53):
park, that there are so manyparcels of land that Disney has improved.
I mean, Disney picked the lamppost, Disney picked the fences, Disney
planted those plants. Yeah, Disneymade that parking line very true. Amazing
how wide that is. And allabout nightmares and how common they could.
(04:15):
Some of them are things like showingup at school or work without pants on,
people who claim that they feel thatthe teeth is falling or the teeth
are falling out, scary things wherethey can't run fast. Have you ever
had any bathrooms? Have you everhad a wardrobe malfunction at work? At
work? You mean like I hada pair of jeans and the ass finally
(04:43):
gave up, gave up the ghost. In the middle of my day,
I was in news prep one andall of a sudden, I'm in the
chair and I hear something go andI'm like, uh, oh, that
really happened. Yeah. Oh,I don't think I've ever had something like
that. Yeah, but I alsodon't wear that type of clothing. That's
true, that's probably mine. Youknow what when you start wearing those type
(05:05):
jeens cider clothes, Hygerian and callingfrom Tulsa. I always have these recurring
nightmares, if you can call them, that I've done a bunch of cocaine,
and whenever I have these dreams,I can never get back to sleep.
It really sucks. Anyway, Ilove your show out. I wonder
(05:26):
if that is a result of havingdone cocaine. Maybe, but I mean
not cocaine wears off pretty quickly,but I mean just like you know what
the feeling was like, Yeah,yeah, I guess you guys. So
my recurring dream is I have ahistory of exam final that I did not
study for in high school, andit is now the last day, and
this will determine if I graduate.It's so bad that I've reached out to
(05:47):
my high school professor and have toldhim for closure. I'm now thirty four,
so obviously it's been well over fifteenyears. But yeah, this morning
I woke up saw my husband nextto me, and I was like,
oh, I'm just going to stayup because this is a relief. I'm
married, I have a career.I'm just going to stay up so I
don't have to go back into thisdream. I've had that one before where
(06:08):
I have been like totally ditching classand I realize it's the end of college
and there's a Tuesday Thursday class thatI just didn't go to. I went
to like the first day and thenjust like didn't go and that it held
me back, and it's so real, so much so that I too.
I have my college diploma, notlike it matters now, it didn't matter
(06:31):
ever really, but I have itlike on my dresser in my parents' house,
just to remind myself that, yes, I did get one of those.
Okay, Yeah, Gary Shenning,greetings from Norco. Okay, this
is an eerie one. I feellike I'm eight to ten years old at
the time. Right it's a recess, but it's in the middle of the
(06:53):
night and we're running on the schoolroofs. Kids are chasing me, like
you know, it's like a dodgeballthing, like they're not going to kill
me. It's when I come tothe end of the building and I run
off. It's that feeling, andyet I don't feel myself hit on the
ground. That's weird. When Iwas in I think eighth grade at small
(07:16):
school, Catholic School, and Iremember going to class and everyone's crying and
I'm like, what's going on?And it was one of the families,
or you know, all the familieswere very close, and one of the
families of where the son was atMarine Catholic and he and his buddies were
on the roof of the civic center, the Marine County Civic Center, right
off the freeway, and they're drinkingand crousing, and he fell off the
(07:40):
roof and died. Seventeen year oldkid. And I was so traumatized by
that, Like just thinking about that, it just sounded so I could visualize
it with that blue roof and everything. So once in a while I will
have that dream of falling off thatroof, specifically that roof Hungarian Channon Becky
beat. My recurring nightmare is beingin an elevator and having to put my
(08:07):
hands on the ceiling and spread myfeet apart and it tumbles oh full on
three sixty cart bills. Wow,scary, that's terrify it means. I'm
not sure what that means either.Now I have a horrible nightmare, and
it's only when I eat sour kraut. And I do know that sometimes food,
(08:28):
some foods do cause you to havebad dreams. But my dream is
always about like blood dripping from theceiling and onto the floor. And it's
no violence, just a lot ofblood. And I don't know why,
but yeah, that's an ugly dreamfor me. So I don't eat sauer
(08:48):
kraut. My guess is she grewup in the Midwest around farming and light
brought worse with sauer kraut. Andthat's all coming together. You should be
a doctor. Usually when I havea nightmare, it's because I'm too hot.
Yeah, I have too many blanketson, or I left my electric
(09:09):
blanket on. I had one theother night. My dog was missing his
front left leg. What I foundit horrifying, But he was just running
around the yard happy. Yeah,throw off your blankets. It's true,
that's true. I think there's definitelysomething to that. I electric blankets are
(09:31):
like drugs. I do not.I'm not a fan of Gary and Shannon.
I'm a big carry fan. Whenhe walks around the pool in his
speed out. He's like the kingand I could be his queen. No,
I love you, Gary. I'ma big fan, big fat baby.
(09:52):
I love you. That guy isgonna give me nightmares. He he
has seen you walk around your pool. I don't know. I do not
know. It's time for what youwatch on Wednesday. The following program is
brought to you in living color,but you're watching in there. Americans love
television. They win their kids USAtelevision. You've not watching too many of
(10:16):
those live television shows. So whenwe have Jason Nathanson on for what You're
watching Wednesday, he doesn't get hisspecial entertainment open, right, because that
would be too much. We savedthat for the other time. We don't
want to spoil him. Yeah,I agree, Okay, Hi Jason,
you can't spoil me. And I'mvery What if we send you level headed,
(10:39):
I'm even keeled. What if wesent you in a ray of pickle
ball pocket squares? Wouldn't that bea bit of a spoiling That would be
nice. I don't know that Iwould actually wear them, but I would,
so you're ungrateful and spoiled. Iwould appreciate the gesture. But but
I don't advertise my pickleball love outsideof pickle ball or on a radio show
(11:05):
in what I'm wearing. In whatI'm wearing. I see we've talked about
pickleball because it's entertaining for you guys, I think, but you know,
the bar is low when it comesto dressing. I'm not wearing pickleball.
Accouter mall out, Yeah, pickleball. What if you make it big and
you become the pickleball ambassador? Ohthen yeah, for money, I'll do
(11:28):
anything. Love it. I loveit absolutely, Jason, there's this weird
case brought against Universal Studios over thetrailer for the movie Yesterday. What is
this about? Yeah, so thishas been working its way through the courts
for a couple of years now,and we have a settlement. And this
is over the trailer for the filmYesterday. If you remember that from twenty
(11:48):
nineteen, this is the movie aboutwhere everybody wakes up in a world where
the Beatles music doesn't exist. Suddenly, but there's one guy who remembers all
the Beatles' music. Oh so herewrites it and recreates it and becomes rich
and famous because they think he's makingall these amazing songs when he's just ripping
off the beatles. In that traileris Anna d Armis. This is twenty
nineteen. She hadn't really hit itbig yet, and she's just a small
(12:11):
part in the movie, and sheactually gets cut out of the movie.
So she's in the trailer, butshe's not in the actual movie. Two
guys, Peter Rosa and Connor Wolf, saw the trailer, rented the movie
expecting to see Anna d'armis, andwhen they didn't, they got mad,
mad enough to sue Universal for falseadvertising, saying that they expected to see
(12:33):
her in the movie and she wasn'tin the movie and that they were cheated
out of three ninety nine each.Are these two guys who were legitimately upset?
Or were these two guys and weall know people like this in our
lives who are always looking for aneasy make you know, or an easy
way to get rich or gotcha?We could actually sue over this. Maybe
(12:54):
I don't know their actual state ofmind. I mean, this also recalls
the case of the a couple guyswho are suing Madonna right now because she
started that concert late. And itall sounds like people who had this idea
and either friends egged them on forthe bit to actually go through with it,
and they maybe somebody said, hey, you actually have a case here.
(13:15):
So they talked to a lawyer,and a lawyer's like, yeah,
the lawyer actually thought they might havea class action lawsuit if there's more people.
So they take this to court.Right in the first couple of rulings,
the judge says that the Universal wantedit thrown out, saying that the
trailer is a protected work of artunder the First Amendment and therefore wouldn't be
(13:35):
subject to false amen or false advertisingclaims. The judge actually said, and
this is the part of the rulingthat actually might stand in case law,
that trailers are actually commercial speech.They're not protected free speech, and so
therefore they are subject to false advertisinglaws. And the case was going to
move forward. But the part thatthey didn't make was the class action part.
The judge didn't buy that said thatit's possible. They said that it's
(14:00):
possible that everyone who rented the moviehad been duped. Universal said that's not
the case. Anna Dharmus wasn't thebig draw it was. Maybe the stories
was the beatles Kate McKinnon ed Sheeranand the trailer other things. The judge
rule there was not enough evidence forclass action, and that's when things got
really weird because the case could goforward, but the plaintiffs could basically only
(14:22):
hope to get their money back.And the Universal lawyers, who are very
high powered and high paid, theygot angry and said, since the false
advertising case was valid but other partsof the lawsuit were not, they claimed
that the parts of the lawsuit werefrivolous and filed emotion for attorney's fees,
and the judge agreed. So nowthe two guys were on the hook for
one hundred and twenty seven thousand dollarswhen they were basically going to get eight
(14:46):
bucks back if they won the case. That's funny. So this went back
and forth. There was a bunchof stuff. There was another thing where
actually in the discovery of the actuallawsuit, the plaintiffs found out that they
could maybe reopen the case for theclass action because the ended the Armist trailer
tested higher than the other trailers,so there was maybe some wiggle room there.
(15:07):
The Universal knew what they were doingand putting out this false trailer,
and so the plaintis's lawyers went backto Universal and said, hey, we'll
settle this for seven hundred and fiftythousand dollars. That angered the Universal lawyers
even more, who then asked foranother forty three thousand in attorney's fees.
All that was supposed to go totrial next month and it's been settled.
(15:28):
A lot of this reporting was invariety, and we found out that it
was settled. We don't know theterms of the settlement though, and what
actually happened. How about never callus again. That's like just I could
imagine those Universal lawyers. I haveto imagine it was both sides parting and
the guys getting off and not havingto pay you know, hundreds of thousands
of dollars in attorneys fees. Hbut you know, kind of kind of
(15:52):
wild. So when you just knowwhen you start, when you pick these
fights, when you start these fights, especially with high powered companies, you
got to be ready for what mightcome. Have you seen a baby Reindeer?
I've not. Have you heard aboutthis? I? Yes, that's
it's a Netflix show. It's Netflixthe show number three or something right now.
It's yeah, it's very popular.It's got one hundred percent of Rotten
(16:14):
Tomatoes, and it's a true storyof a guy's encounter with a stalker and
how it spirals out of control.The stalker is a female, and it's
just kind of rare that you getone hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It
is rare. There's another one hundredpercent thing that's out today called Under the
Bridge. Oh, I've heard ofthis, which is a Hulu true crime
series, right Lily Gladstone and RileyKeoh, And I will tell you that
(16:36):
it is excellent, at least whatI've seen so far. This is something
I've wanted to watch and I justdidn't know when it was coming out.
Thank you, Jason, You're verywelcome. It's very good. We've seen
a lot of true crime stuff overthe past few years and limited series that
are of varying degrees of being goodor not. This one is good.
It reminded me of The Killing ifyou remember that series from AMC from a
few years ago in Seattle, anda little bit of Mayor of Easttown.
(17:00):
Okay, all right, well,keep an eye on the old inbox for
those pickleball pocket squares. Are theycoming to my inbox? I'm not gonna
tell you. Okay, I'll keepan eye out though, Okay, thank
you, thank you, Jason.I kept seeing Ripley. I remember that
I wasn't enamored with the talented misterRipley when that came out in the nineties.
(17:23):
I don't know why. It justnever it didn't. I didn't see
it and go, oh that,you know, that's gonna be a great
one or whatever. I don't knowwhy talented mister Ripley was Jude law Right,
Matt Matt Damon and the Paltrow womanGwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman played
Freddy Right. Great cast it was, it just did. It didn't resonate
(17:45):
with me. I guess. Ibelieve it was a beautifully shot movie as
well, but nothing like how beautifulthe Netflix show is. In my opinion,
it's this is pretty much. Thisis unbelievable to me how great the
show was because it kept getting better. I'll use the most recent season of
(18:06):
True Detective as an example of theshows that take too long to develop.
You get six eight episodes whatever itis they are stretching out with that six
to eight episodes when they really coulddo it as a feature length, you
know, hour forty five, twohours, two fifteen, something like that,
and be fine, be perfect,still hit all of the tonal notes
(18:30):
of whatever it is they're trying toget to Ripley, though I can't I
can't think of it now in thecontext of a two hour movie. Yeah,
because there's so much tension that buildsup slowly at first, but there's
so much tension that builds up insome of the confrontations that exist. It
reminded me of the show You whereyou're rooting for the murderer and you don't
(18:59):
know why, but you're kind ofhoping that he can. Obviously he's deeply
flawed, but there's something about him, and I guess that's plays into why
it was beautifully acted that that makesyou root for him. And just the
scenery and the angles just incredible.It's an oddly calming show about a murderer,
(19:22):
and we've seen there. I thinkI've looked up the name of the
cinematographer, Robert Elswiod. Now partof it is Robert's work. Part of
it is going to be the directorsof each of the individual episodes, most
of them by Steven Sally and whowrote it the imagery of first of all,
making Italy look great, like wejoked about the other day of the
(19:44):
day, because Italy always looks great. But some of the images, some
of the still shots are sorry,not still shots. They could be still
still shots. They're framed so perfect. Yes, and there's I mean,
there was one specific in one ofthe later episodes. He's at a train
station. He takes one bag,like one suitcase and throws it onto a
(20:07):
luggage rack that's off to the side. But in the background is this criss
crossing staircase. It I mean,the amount of time it would take to
set up a shot like that thatexists for four seconds in the entire show,
but it's a perfectly framed, perfectlyconstructed shot, is just incredible.
Andrew Scott plays Tom Ripley. AndrewScott played Moriarty in the first series of
(20:33):
Sherlock where Benedict Cumber Bumblepump was wasSherlock. Dakota Fanning plays Marge in this
a guy named Johnny Flynn. Iwasn't familiar with him. And then one
of Sting and Trudy what's her name? Sting and Sting's wife, one of
their kids plays Freddy John Malkovich makesmakes a little which is always a sparkle.
(20:59):
So it was. It was reallyincredibly well done, and like I
said, I think perhaps the biggestone are the biggest theme that ran through
it for us, for my wifeand I was moments of tension where nothing
is going on and it's you know, he's waiting for somebody on the other
side of the door, or youknow that someone's about to figure something,
(21:22):
that's got to clean up something realquick. Or he keeps driving back,
remember he keeps driving back to theFiat, like he forgets something and then
he's got to drive back. Andthe music is also beautiful in it when
there is music. I mean there'sa lot of times where it's dead silence,
but that's also very calming, thesilence, and that the Italian is
(21:44):
so soothing to the ears as well. I would I was afraid I knew
a lot of it was in Italianbecause in some of the preview it's got
Italian with English subtitles, and Ithought, oh boy, it's going to
be that's going to be tedious.I never felt that, and some of
those soodes later on are almost exclusivelyin Italian. Well, and it's odd
by the time you finish it,how much you're able to pick up right,
(22:07):
Yeah, which is fun, whichis hey, a great way to
learn a new language. Keanu Reevesis going to be joining Sonic three,
Sonic the Hedgehog three, the popularcharacters named Shadow, so good news.
Yeah, wait for that. Wednesday, the Adams Family reboot that or I
(22:30):
guess spin off prequel is going tocast Steve Buscemi in there. Jenna Ortega
obviously will return, as Wednesday wasin everything from probably the late eighties until
just a couple of months ago,so that'll be a good one. So
and then whatever else you want towatch, tell us what you're watching so
(22:52):
we can catch up on it too. You've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show. You can always hearus live on KFIAM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to KFI AM six forty, the
Gary and Shannon Show on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. What else is going
on? Time for What's happening?Wow? Fine? Well, we're learning
more about the seven people selected sofar for the jury and Donald Trump's New

Yeah, so by Monday we couldsee I can't believe that so quick Monday

I'm like, what's going on?And it was one of the families,
or you know, all the familieswere very close, and one of the
families of where the son was atMarine Catholic and he and his buddies were
on the roof of the civic center, the Marine County Civic Center, right
off the freeway, and they're drinkingand crousing, and he fell off the
(07:40):
roof and died. Seventeen year oldkid. And I was so traumatized by
that, Like just thinking about that, it just sounded so I could visualize
it with that blue roof and everything. So once in a while I will
have that dream of falling off thatroof, specifically that roof Hungarian Channon Becky
beat. My recurring nightmare is beingin an elevator and having to put my
(08:07):
hands on the ceiling and spread myfeet apart and it tumbles oh full on
three sixty cart bills. Wow,scary, that's terrify it means. I'm
not sure what that means either.Now I have a horrible nightmare, and
it's only when I eat sour kraut. And I do know that sometimes food,
(08:28):
some foods do cause you to havebad dreams. But my dream is
always about like blood dripping from theceiling and onto the floor. And it's
no violence, just a lot ofblood. And I don't know why,
but yeah, that's an ugly dreamfor me. So I don't eat sauer
(08:48):
kraut. My guess is she grewup in the Midwest around farming and light
brought worse with sauer kraut. Andthat's all coming together. You should be
a doctor. Usually when I havea nightmare, it's because I'm too hot.
Yeah, I have too many blanketson, or I left my electric
(09:09):
blanket on. I had one theother night. My dog was missing his
front left leg. What I foundit horrifying, But he was just running
around the yard happy. Yeah,throw off your blankets. It's true,
that's true. I think there's definitelysomething to that. I electric blankets are
(09:31):
like drugs. I do not.I'm not a fan of Gary and Shannon.
I'm a big carry fan. Whenhe walks around the pool in his
speed out. He's like the kingand I could be his queen. No,
I love you, Gary. I'ma big fan, big fat baby.
(09:52):
I love you. That guy isgonna give me nightmares. He he
has seen you walk around your pool. I don't know. I do not
know. It's time for what youwatch on Wednesday. The following program is
brought to you in living color,but you're watching in there. Americans love
television. They win their kids USAtelevision. You've not watching too many of
(10:16):
those live television shows. So whenwe have Jason Nathanson on for what You're
watching Wednesday, he doesn't get hisspecial entertainment open, right, because that
would be too much. We savedthat for the other time. We don't
want to spoil him. Yeah,I agree, Okay, Hi Jason,
you can't spoil me. And I'mvery What if we send you level headed,
(10:39):
I'm even keeled. What if wesent you in a ray of pickle
ball pocket squares? Wouldn't that bea bit of a spoiling That would be
nice. I don't know that Iwould actually wear them, but I would,
so you're ungrateful and spoiled. Iwould appreciate the gesture. But but
I don't advertise my pickleball love outsideof pickle ball or on a radio show
(11:05):
in what I'm wearing. In whatI'm wearing. I see we've talked about
pickleball because it's entertaining for you guys, I think, but you know,
the bar is low when it comesto dressing. I'm not wearing pickleball.
Accouter mall out, Yeah, pickleball. What if you make it big and
you become the pickleball ambassador? Ohthen yeah, for money, I'll do
(11:28):
anything. Love it. I loveit absolutely, Jason, there's this weird
case brought against Universal Studios over thetrailer for the movie Yesterday. What is
this about? Yeah, so thishas been working its way through the courts
for a couple of years now,and we have a settlement. And this
is over the trailer for the filmYesterday. If you remember that from twenty
(11:48):
nineteen, this is the movie aboutwhere everybody wakes up in a world where
the Beatles music doesn't exist. Suddenly, but there's one guy who remembers all
the Beatles' music. Oh so herewrites it and recreates it and becomes rich
and famous because they think he's makingall these amazing songs when he's just ripping
off the beatles. In that traileris Anna d Armis. This is twenty
nineteen. She hadn't really hit itbig yet, and she's just a small
(12:11):
part in the movie, and sheactually gets cut out of the movie.
So she's in the trailer, butshe's not in the actual movie. Two
guys, Peter Rosa and Connor Wolf, saw the trailer, rented the movie
expecting to see Anna d'armis, andwhen they didn't, they got mad,
mad enough to sue Universal for falseadvertising, saying that they expected to see
(12:33):
her in the movie and she wasn'tin the movie and that they were cheated
out of three ninety nine each.Are these two guys who were legitimately upset?
Or were these two guys and weall know people like this in our
lives who are always looking for aneasy make you know, or an easy
way to get rich or gotcha?We could actually sue over this. Maybe
(12:54):
I don't know their actual state ofmind. I mean, this also recalls
the case of the a couple guyswho are suing Madonna right now because she
started that concert late. And itall sounds like people who had this idea
and either friends egged them on forthe bit to actually go through with it,
and they maybe somebody said, hey, you actually have a case here.
(13:15):
So they talked to a lawyer,and a lawyer's like, yeah,
the lawyer actually thought they might havea class action lawsuit if there's more people.
So they take this to court.Right in the first couple of rulings,
the judge says that the Universal wantedit thrown out, saying that the
trailer is a protected work of artunder the First Amendment and therefore wouldn't be
(13:35):
subject to false amen or false advertisingclaims. The judge actually said, and
this is the part of the rulingthat actually might stand in case law,
that trailers are actually commercial speech.They're not protected free speech, and so
therefore they are subject to false advertisinglaws. And the case was going to
move forward. But the part thatthey didn't make was the class action part.
The judge didn't buy that said thatit's possible. They said that it's
(14:00):
possible that everyone who rented the moviehad been duped. Universal said that's not
the case. Anna Dharmus wasn't thebig draw it was. Maybe the stories
was the beatles Kate McKinnon ed Sheeranand the trailer other things. The judge
rule there was not enough evidence forclass action, and that's when things got
really weird because the case could goforward, but the plaintiffs could basically only
(14:22):
hope to get their money back.And the Universal lawyers, who are very
high powered and high paid, theygot angry and said, since the false
advertising case was valid but other partsof the lawsuit were not, they claimed
that the parts of the lawsuit werefrivolous and filed emotion for attorney's fees,
and the judge agreed. So nowthe two guys were on the hook for
one hundred and twenty seven thousand dollarswhen they were basically going to get eight
(14:46):
bucks back if they won the case. That's funny. So this went back
and forth. There was a bunchof stuff. There was another thing where
actually in the discovery of the actuallawsuit, the plaintiffs found out that they
could maybe reopen the case for theclass action because the ended the Armist trailer
tested higher than the other trailers,so there was maybe some wiggle room there.
(15:07):
The Universal knew what they were doingand putting out this false trailer,
and so the plaintis's lawyers went backto Universal and said, hey, we'll
settle this for seven hundred and fiftythousand dollars. That angered the Universal lawyers
even more, who then asked foranother forty three thousand in attorney's fees.
All that was supposed to go totrial next month and it's been settled.
(15:28):
A lot of this reporting was invariety, and we found out that it
was settled. We don't know theterms of the settlement though, and what
actually happened. How about never callus again. That's like just I could
imagine those Universal lawyers. I haveto imagine it was both sides parting and
the guys getting off and not havingto pay you know, hundreds of thousands
of dollars in attorneys fees. Hbut you know, kind of kind of
(15:52):
wild. So when you just knowwhen you start, when you pick these
fights, when you start these fights, especially with high powered companies, you
got to be ready for what mightcome. Have you seen a baby Reindeer?
I've not. Have you heard aboutthis? I? Yes, that's
it's a Netflix show. It's Netflixthe show number three or something right now.
It's yeah, it's very popular.It's got one hundred percent of Rotten
(16:14):
Tomatoes, and it's a true storyof a guy's encounter with a stalker and
how it spirals out of control.The stalker is a female, and it's
just kind of rare that you getone hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It
is rare. There's another one hundredpercent thing that's out today called Under the
Bridge. Oh, I've heard ofthis, which is a Hulu true crime
series, right Lily Gladstone and RileyKeoh, And I will tell you that
(16:36):
it is excellent, at least whatI've seen so far. This is something
I've wanted to watch and I justdidn't know when it was coming out.
Thank you, Jason, You're verywelcome. It's very good. We've seen
a lot of true crime stuff overthe past few years and limited series that
are of varying degrees of being goodor not. This one is good.
It reminded me of The Killing ifyou remember that series from AMC from a
few years ago in Seattle, anda little bit of Mayor of Easttown.
(17:00):
Okay, all right, well,keep an eye on the old inbox for
those pickleball pocket squares. Are theycoming to my inbox? I'm not gonna
tell you. Okay, I'll keepan eye out though, Okay, thank
you, thank you, Jason.I kept seeing Ripley. I remember that
I wasn't enamored with the talented misterRipley when that came out in the nineties.
(17:23):
I don't know why. It justnever it didn't. I didn't see
it and go, oh that,you know, that's gonna be a great
one or whatever. I don't knowwhy talented mister Ripley was Jude law Right,
Matt Matt Damon and the Paltrow womanGwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman played
Freddy Right. Great cast it was, it just did. It didn't resonate
(17:45):
with me. I guess. Ibelieve it was a beautifully shot movie as
well, but nothing like how beautifulthe Netflix show is. In my opinion,
it's this is pretty much. Thisis unbelievable to me how great the
show was because it kept getting better. I'll use the most recent season of
(18:06):
True Detective as an example of theshows that take too long to develop.
You get six eight episodes whatever itis they are stretching out with that six
to eight episodes when they really coulddo it as a feature length, you
know, hour forty five, twohours, two fifteen, something like that,
and be fine, be perfect,still hit all of the tonal notes
(18:30):
of whatever it is they're trying toget to Ripley, though I can't I
can't think of it now in thecontext of a two hour movie. Yeah,
because there's so much tension that buildsup slowly at first, but there's
so much tension that builds up insome of the confrontations that exist. It
reminded me of the show You whereyou're rooting for the murderer and you don't
(18:59):
know why, but you're kind ofhoping that he can. Obviously he's deeply
flawed, but there's something about him, and I guess that's plays into why
it was beautifully acted that that makesyou root for him. And just the
scenery and the angles just incredible.It's an oddly calming show about a murderer,
(19:22):
and we've seen there. I thinkI've looked up the name of the
cinematographer, Robert Elswiod. Now partof it is Robert's work. Part of
it is going to be the directorsof each of the individual episodes, most
of them by Steven Sally and whowrote it the imagery of first of all,
making Italy look great, like wejoked about the other day of the
(19:44):
day, because Italy always looks great. But some of the images, some
of the still shots are sorry,not still shots. They could be still
still shots. They're framed so perfect. Yes, and there's I mean,
there was one specific in one ofthe later episodes. He's at a train
station. He takes one bag,like one suitcase and throws it onto a
(20:07):
luggage rack that's off to the side. But in the background is this criss
crossing staircase. It I mean,the amount of time it would take to
set up a shot like that thatexists for four seconds in the entire show,
but it's a perfectly framed, perfectlyconstructed shot, is just incredible.
Andrew Scott plays Tom Ripley. AndrewScott played Moriarty in the first series of
(20:33):
Sherlock where Benedict Cumber Bumblepump was wasSherlock. Dakota Fanning plays Marge in this
a guy named Johnny Flynn. Iwasn't familiar with him. And then one
of Sting and Trudy what's her name? Sting and Sting's wife, one of
their kids plays Freddy John Malkovich makesmakes a little which is always a sparkle.
(20:59):
So it was. It was reallyincredibly well done, and like I
said, I think perhaps the biggestone are the biggest theme that ran through
it for us, for my wifeand I was moments of tension where nothing
is going on and it's you know, he's waiting for somebody on the other
side of the door, or youknow that someone's about to figure something,
(21:22):
that's got to clean up something realquick. Or he keeps driving back,
remember he keeps driving back to theFiat, like he forgets something and then
he's got to drive back. Andthe music is also beautiful in it when
there is music. I mean there'sa lot of times where it's dead silence,
but that's also very calming, thesilence, and that the Italian is
(21:44):
so soothing to the ears as well. I would I was afraid I knew
a lot of it was in Italianbecause in some of the preview it's got
Italian with English subtitles, and Ithought, oh boy, it's going to
be that's going to be tedious.I never felt that, and some of
those soodes later on are almost exclusivelyin Italian. Well, and it's odd
by the time you finish it,how much you're able to pick up right,
(22:07):
Yeah, which is fun, whichis hey, a great way to
learn a new language. Keanu Reevesis going to be joining Sonic three,
Sonic the Hedgehog three, the popularcharacters named Shadow, so good news.
Yeah, wait for that. Wednesday, the Adams Family reboot that or I
(22:30):
guess spin off prequel is going tocast Steve Buscemi in there. Jenna Ortega
obviously will return, as Wednesday wasin everything from probably the late eighties until
just a couple of months ago,so that'll be a good one. So
and then whatever else you want towatch, tell us what you're watching so
