This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to KFI AM six forty the Gary
and Shannon Show on demand on theiHeartRadio app. The USC Department of Public
Safety says that they were working toremove prohibited items from the park, including
megaphones and tents, and that's whenthey said stop it, and they grabbed
their tents and we're marching around thepark to prevent the officers from removing them.
(00:24):
So we'll keep an eye on that. But what else is going on?
Time for what's happening? That's reallythe big story throughout the country,
because not only is it NYU andColumbia and Yale and cal Poly Humboldt,
now it's USC. Now, it'salso University of Texas at Austin where these
(00:46):
very large anti Israeli protests are takingplace. Before we get a whole lot
of criticism about it's not anti Israeli, it's pro palaestiny. That's fine if
you can argue that pro palace Justinianis a thing to fight for, but
not when you yell things like fromthe River to the Sea, and not
(01:07):
when you include incendiary language that suggeststhat Jewish people are the reason why Hamas
has completely devastated Gaza. The ArmenianGenocide Remembrance Day has been commemorated across southern
California, marked the one hundred andninth anniversary of the start of the events
(01:30):
widely viewed by scholars as the firstgenocide of the twentieth century. One point
five million Armenians massacred during the ArmenianGenocide in nineteen fifteen. One of the
reasons why I might be seeing somany people at USC is because La Unified
is closed for today, oh isit? So there may be We know
(01:51):
that not all of those are studentsthere at USC that are joining those protests.
So if you have not yet seenit. Scary moment when a Lutanza
Airlines FLLY I tried to touch downat LAX seven forty seven eight I,
which is the biggest seven forty seventhey make, was attempting to land and
hit the runway pretty hard and bounced, and that prompted the pilot to,
(02:14):
you know what, I'm just gonnagun it and go around. I'm gonna
I'm just gonna pretend that never happened. That would be terrifying. We were
laughing, my wife and I whenwe landed in Burbank last week and we
hit pretty hard. I mean,yeah, we came short run short runway,
short runway. Yeah, And Ithink I said it, but she
(02:34):
laughed at it, which makes mehappy. That's a Navy pilot. Yeah.
I do it every time. It'sa fun game to play. It's
a fun game. I actually therewas a there was a pilot dead heading
or what I have you a bonuspilot on my flight back from wherever I
came from Vegas, and that thesame thing happened landing Burbank. Hard ass
(02:54):
landing and it wasn't windy or anything. It was just like for no reason
at all, and that the pilotgets off for the bonus pilot gets off
first, and I'm walking by him, and I was like, Navy pilot.
He starts laughing. He's like,damn Air Force right here. It
was very funny. Earlier today,seem Valley High School was placed on lockdown.
(03:15):
People were asked to stay away fromthe area. There was report of
a bomb threat, although authority saidnot confirmed that. The notification said there
is police activity around see Me HighRoads around the school have been closed.
Police stay out of the area andthen they sent it out the stadium was
being checked. Once it's secured,students on campus will be evacuated to the
(03:35):
stadium and that would allow the officersto go through each of the classrooms to
make sure that nothing was found.And again, ever since I covered Columbine
in nineteen ninety nine, twenty fiveyears ago, I can count. I
mean, I cannot count. Idon't have zero. I have zero fingers
(03:58):
too. Why I'm trying? Howam I saying this. I've never seen
a bomb thread at a high schoolever come to fruition periods. I don't
know why people, I mean Ido know why people get concerned about it.
I would be concerned my kid wasin high school and there was a
bomb threat. Of course, thisis what I want them to do.
But I also but in all ouryears of covering the threats, it's never
(04:20):
come to fruition. Not what happened. Yeah, they don't give you a
heads up. Oscar was in hereand we forgot to quiz him about Coachella.
Oh that's right, I forgot tofind out about This is first day
back at Warning. I think soall the dirt secks that he witnessed.
Ew gross, speaking of quick lockdownsMint Canyon Elementary, and Canyon Country.
(04:42):
Someone was started shooting what appeared tobe an airsoft gun at some of the
school windows. The reason I bringup Coachella is because Stage Coach is going
to kick off this weekend. Weare monitoring the situation at USC, where
there are protests that we've seen atother college campuses around the country. Law
Enforcement office have forked a skirmish lineon the outskirts of SC's Alumni Park amid
(05:04):
this protest. Crowd briefly crowded arounda USC Department of Public Safety vehicles,
some officers and some officers just outsidethe park. The group has now moved
back inside the park. LAPD hasresponded to the area to help out the
campus. Police reports from the sceneindicate one protester briefly detained but has since
(05:26):
been released. Joining us from thecampus, KFI z owed Chris Adler,
who's been down there? Chris,what's going on? Hey guys? Yeah,
So when I got to campus,the tents were still up that they
were breaking them down, but thensome students stood strong in a line that
said to save Gaza. They're holdingsigns, they're standing and they're trying to
(05:48):
recruit other students to join in withthem in the chanting. And right now
I'm in the middle of the marchand they're marching around Alumni Park. So
this has not broken up, eventhough Laped tried to break it up.
And uh, they're holding signs nowthat they let Gaza live, you guys,
So this is very much still goingon. We've gone I think about
five choppers overhead if you can hearthem behind me or above me, And
(06:11):
uh, it's still very much abig protest here. Any idea, I
mean, can you gauge the numberof students they They seem pretty spread out
right now just from some of thehelicopter shots that we've been able to see.
Yeah, right now, just youknow, just taking a look around
here in this in this squad,I would say probably about two hundred students
(06:32):
spread out. And what is themood of the students? Are they did
they? Is it? Is ita fun time? Are they angry?
What's the what's the vine? Yeah, a lot of a lot of them
are angry, Shannon. They're talking, they're they're they're chanting, they're holding
their signs, and they're saying sixmonths over six months of bombardment and Gaza,
(06:55):
and they're saying things like, whileyou're learning, Gaza is burning,
so that the town here, youcan hear them marching across right here,
right in the middle of the protest. They will not stop. They will
not rest, is what they're saying. And they're going to keep they say,
they're going to keep protesting until theuniversity stand with Gaza cut any kind
(07:18):
of support to Israel. And youknow this also comes in the middle of
We're in Passover and also on thehils of the valedictorian having her feet canceled
because they were afraid it would inciteviolence. Channon, was this a planned
protest or is this something that spontaneouslybroke out today? Well, I think
(07:40):
it was planned. But they arefollowing other students nationally from other campuses that
have been dealing with this. Therewere Jewish students in Columbia University at Yale
who said that they were being targeted. So the the pro Palestinian students,
they're coming back saying, you knowwhat, no, we were the ones
targeted. And so they're joining othercampuses across the nation calling on all universities
(08:05):
to scan and scan with them insolidarity and call for a seafire in Gaza.
All right, Well, keep aneye on that, Chris, make
sure and talk to some of thepeople there. I'm curious to know how
many of them are actual USC studentsand how many of them would be able
to articulate, you know, kindof what we assume they're they're protesting for.
(08:30):
Well, and that's part of theproblem. It's a hard thing to
articulate to the Middle East. Alwayshas been the conflict in the Middle East
for as long as forever, right, It's a very hard thing to articulate
and to decipher who's the good guysand who the bad guys are. And
you can also be in support ofthe Palestinians and the civilians in Gaza,
(08:50):
and in support of the Israelis aswell. I think that the message around
to musk gets muddled quite too often. Well, I can tell you,
guys, there are several students inthis marching line wearing USC sweaters, many
of them. And what was interestingthough, is when I went up to
(09:11):
some of the pro Palestinian students,they refused to talk to me and give
me an interview. They shook theirhand off in my face and walked away.
That was a couple of them thatI approached as I got on campus
here, so I thought that wasinteresting. They're very vocal, but refused
to talk to the media. Idon't know if that's because they're angry with
the media, but a couple ofpeople would not talk to me. Yeah,
(09:33):
and I'd heard that. One ofthe common things of this, these
protests that we've seen on different campuses, is that there's an order from organizers
to not speak to them. Yes, yet, well, that's the way
that all of the protests have beenthat I've ever covered, because they only
want the most articulate to do interviewswith the media, and they know that
(09:54):
a lot of people there are notcompletely famili with the cause and can articulate
it. Hey throw a question,Chris, why why seventy five to eighty
percent of these people are also wearingmasks? Yeah, that's it. Are
they hiding their faces? That's quest. I think that's part of it.
(10:16):
I think part of it is hidingtheir faces on purpose so that they're not
identified in case things go awry here. You know what, I've been covering
these protests since October seventh, whenthe first attack happened, and it's always
been masked. The majority of thepeople at the protests have masked, especially
the ones for them who are themost vocal. And you know, it's
(10:39):
been at every every protest that Ihave been to regarding Israel hamas the conflict,
it's been mak Yeah. I rememberthe riots and MacArthur Park and those
were the bandanas at the time.Well now we all have the masks,
right Chris, Thanks, thank you. You got a guy, Chris Adler.
They're live on the camp at USCand again one of the it doesn't
(11:03):
seem to be the largest, buta pretty good sized protest there at USC,
right through Alumni Park. One ofthe people I saw I interviewed earlier,
said he was not a student andthat he wasn't there necessarily because of
anything that USC is doing. Hewanted to support the students at Columbia University
because they could be kicked out oftheir their very public area soon. But
(11:28):
Columbia student protesters issued a statement sayingthat the administration, again, this is
Columbia University in New York. Theadministration provided a written commitment to not involve
the police at Columbia, but ifyou want a good distraction. It's time
for what you're watching Wednesday. Thefollowing program is brought to you in living
(11:50):
color. But you watch the Americanslove television. They win their kids collar
watching too many of those lives televisionshows. That was gratuitous. There was
no reason for a Google Google atthat junction, just for happiness sake.
Oh okayo Google, I didn't knowyou're going to keep doing ooh go Google
(12:13):
boogo U. So there's a lotgoing on on television these days. Katie
Perry's about to leave American Idol,among other things. Oh my god,
I haven't watched that show in aboutfive years. I haven't watched about twenty.
I would say that I was veryimpressed with the first episode of Sugar
(12:33):
on Apple TV. This is ColinFerrell playing a private detective. He specializes
in finding people who don't want tobe found. Does he talk like that,
No, but he's got a greataccent, I mean an American accent,
because that's not what he does.And then he's speaking to a woman
at one point who does have aBritish accent. It made me wonder if
(12:54):
you're trying to I mean, ifyou're speaking with an unnatural accent, not
your normal accent, and then yourun into somebody who has your normal accent.
How hard is it to keep thefake accent? Probably very difficult because
I just finnded to Michelle about this. I was in an uber in Vegas
and the driver said ooge for huge, Yeah, And I said, you
(13:16):
must be from Long Island because Ionly know one other person that says huge
ooge, and it's Ken Champeau,who's from Long Island. And Michelle was
saying, yeah, I've lost myNew York accident accent. Excuse me.
But when I'm talking to friends orfamily that are there, or you know
that I grew up with, itcomes back. So I think it would
(13:39):
be very difficult to keep up yourphony accent with the loved ones. Well.
The original Wikipedia entry that I readabout Sugar before I'd even see it's
an eight part mystery drama. Again, he's trying to find None of this
is a spoiler. He's going totry to find the granddaughter of a very
high profile Hollywood producer played James Cromwell. That'll do pig. The premise in
(14:03):
the Wikipedia entry was it's described asa gender bending, contemporary take on the
Private Detective story set in Los Angelesgender bending. I misread it genre bending.
Now that makes it more sense,because I kept I had asked a
friend who saw the whole thing whatthey you know, I had asked their
opinion, and I said, whatabout this whole gender bending thing? Is
that a part of it? Andthey said, I don't know what you're
(14:26):
talking about talking about. So Iwent back and looked at it again,
and that's very funny. That makessense. And there's a bunch of I
shouldn't say a bunch. There area handful of faces that you would recognize
outside of Colin Ferrell and James Cromwell. One of them is Amy Ryan,
and I don't even know the rightway to describe it. It's just that
she probably is most well known for, at least in my household, for
(14:52):
her stint on the office as oneof Michael Scott's girlfriends, and it's just
a strange thing to see in avery serious role that she plays. So
it's good. It's also very stylizedin that the the detective John Sugar played
by Colin Ferrell, is a hugemovie fan, so some of the things
(15:15):
that he does and references they actuallysplice in even if it's just a quick
flash cool of an old movie,old black and white movie. Yeah,
and it's it's well done. It'snot overtly done, it's not gratuitous,
but it's I mean, it's welldone. It's and it's a nice I'm
sure there are things in it thatare homage to, you know, movies
(15:39):
of the past that I don't understand. There used to be an HBO show
and I forget the name of itevery time I bring it up. But
it's basically a kid who single momplopped him in front of a TV and
the TV raised him, so throughouthis life as an adult he gets these
visions of these old shows and movies. When certain things come up, it
does sound familiar. And I neverremember the name of it. No,
(16:02):
no, that, But that's verysimilar. All right. There was another
show that I just started. I'monly watching it by myself. I know
my wife wouldn't love it. Butwe'll tell you what that is when we
come back. It's not adult.It's not a Debora Mark show or anything.
I need a good show to watch. By the way, I know
I'm with you, and one ofthe prerequisites for your show there there's a
lot of banging around. Well thereneeds to be some kind of sexy stuff
(16:26):
going on. Six seasons. Yeah, I don't remember much of it.
I just remember watching it as ayouth and Wendey Malick, where was it
appropriate for you to be? Iwatched it with my parents. They put
they they had me watch a lotof stuff that maybe you would deem inappropriate.
(16:47):
I was watching Basic Instinct recently andremember seeing that in the movie theater
and that came out what when Iwas like eleven. Yeah, my parents
were very much we were going towatch what we're gonna watch, and if
we have to take the kids,will take the kids. And that's just
gonna be the thing that happened.They're going to be introduced to Sharon Joan,
Yeah, all of her goodness andall that stuff. Now, Hey,
(17:11):
Gary and Shannon, it's me Andy. On what you're watching? What
I was looking at? I waswatching an episode of The Brady Bunch.
It was on one of the streamingservices, one of the better streaming services.
Because I got the entire episode.I know because I'm watching it.
It's going on and it's on.It is not what we've been used to
seeing on syndicated TV and the advertiserservices. It is what your episode is,
(17:36):
plus that's what I'm watching this Wednesday. Okay, Brady Bunch, Breaking
News, Good morning, Gary andShannon. So I'm watching a thing called
twenty four Hour Last Steff Standing onFood Network. It's old school, as
in, once a week you geta new episode so you can't binge it.
And basically it's about chefs that haveto compete twenty four hours straight and
(17:56):
there's little breaks or whatever, butnot real breaks. It's interesting. My
husband and I call it Cocaine Kitchen. So I hope you guys like it.
Maybe something a little different than yourDowntown Abby's and whatnot Downtown Abbey.
That sounds like a good show showsfor Shannon. Yes, Fried Green Tomatoes
(18:17):
is on Netflix again. Good.Yes, Megan Levy really good. I
want to see that. My topso far. I loved my mind Hunter
Okay, night Agent. Good.My top two Murder at the End of
the World and I Love, Love, Love louder Milk unlocked fascinating Murder at
(18:42):
the End of the World. I'venever heard of that one. I started
watching Fallout on Amazon. So Falloutis based on the video the series of
video games. Fallout basically takes placehundreds of year after nuclear war, so
the technology is frozen two hundred yearsago, but humans have, you know,
(19:06):
we've moved on and been able tosurvive, in this case in vaults
underground, and then they go backup to the surface to find whatever adventure
they can get into. The showis really, really good, and I
realized that even just a couple episodesin. I didn't notice when I the
first episode, but in the secondepisode it's Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy who
(19:27):
brought you, among other things,Westworld. So there's and there's there's hints
of that Westworld kind of attitude towardsit. There's not a lot of the
timeline jump. I mean, thereis timeline jumping, but it's not enough.
It's not meant to confuse you.In Westworld, the whole thing was
at what am I watching is thatthe same is? Are they the same
(19:49):
character in different points in time?None of that happens here, at least
not yet. It's just a reallywell done sci fi kind of adventure where
a woman who lives underground has togo up to this world that she's unfamiliar
with and you know, the hardscape of a post apocalyptic earth, specifically
(20:10):
Los Angeles and southern California, andshe's got to she's looking for her father.
I mean, it's it's that kindof a easy plot. But when
you throw in the weirdness of whois still around two hundred years after a
nuclear war, who's still around thesurface of the Earth, and kind of
all they're all bandits, it's alot. There's some some nods to old
(20:36):
Westerns and that sounds very Westworld esque. Yeah, I mean weaving all that
stuff in. Great soundtrack too,really really great soundtrack for Fallout, And
there were so many people that watchedit. They said, Fallout is the
only prime video show in the topten, but it's minutes watch completely eclipse
(21:00):
everything else from Netflix or Apple TV. Number two is Netflix is unlocked,
as she was referring to there,but way back at only seven hundred and
ninety three million minutes watched. That'show they're judging this seven hundred and ninety
three million. Right now, Fallouthas two point five billion minutes watched in
(21:21):
just the first week that it wason the service. That's pretty good.
So they immediately within one week ofit being released, decided that they would
do a season two as well.Teenage girls create their own weather system,
don't they, And that is kindof the theme behind Under the Bridge,
which is based on a true story, and it's one of those shows that
(21:45):
is parsing out the episode so youcan't watch it all at once. There
were two episodes were released last Wednesday. I believe at least another one released
today and I have to stop myselffrom googling the true events of what happened.
Go Go Good bost which is verytough for me to do because I
want all the answers right away.But it's about a girl, Rina Verk,
(22:11):
a Canadian girl fourteen years old,goes to join friends at a party
never returns home. The first twoepisodes do reveal some mean girl motives.
Seven teenage girls and a boy wereaccused of her savage murder, and it's
all about a journalist kind of comingback and trying to figure out what happened.
Also a female officer kind of takingthe lead on this one as well.
(22:34):
So it's very well acted so far. I can recommend that you guys,
the best show limited series on Netflixright now is Ripley. I don't
know if you've spoken about it before, but it's only eight episodes. It
stars Andrew Scott, who was inFlea Bag as the priest Dakota Fanning.
(22:55):
It's kind of it's shot in blackand white. It's a period sixties piece
that totally reminds me of Offered Hitchcock. It's absolutely brilliant, and I just
I've been telling everything, Yeah weloved it. Couldn't even fit the whole
message, Yeah we loved it.We gushed about that last week was it
and she made a point about itbeing very hitchcock esque. The more I
(23:15):
read about how they did it,there were very much intending for that to
be. What you got away from. What you took away from it was
that it was an homage to Hitchcock. The angles of those shots are just
so incredible. And it's an oddlysoothing show that involves multiple murders, right,
(23:37):
and you're kind of rooting for themurderer in it, which makes you
feel interesting. My sisters headed toItaly in a few weeks and I don't
know anything about it. I've neverbeen there, obviously, and I said
to her, there's a couple moviesyou have a couple of things you have
to watch. Number one is Equalizerthree with Denzel Washington, and the other
one is Ripley because there's such beautifuluse of Italy as its own sort of
(24:03):
character in it. So she's gonnawatch it and we'll see how it compares.
You've been listening to The Gary andShannon Show. You can always hear

Yeah, right now, just youknow, just taking a look around
here in this in this squad,I would say probably about two hundred students
(06:32):
spread out. And what is themood of the students? Are they did
they? Is it? Is ita fun time? Are they angry?
What's the what's the vine? Yeah, a lot of a lot of them
are angry, Shannon. They're talking, they're they're they're chanting, they're holding
their signs, and they're saying sixmonths over six months of bombardment and Gaza,
(06:55):
and they're saying things like, whileyou're learning, Gaza is burning,
so that the town here, youcan hear them marching across right here,
right in the middle of the protest. They will not stop. They will
not rest, is what they're saying. And they're going to keep they say,
they're going to keep protesting until theuniversity stand with Gaza cut any kind
(07:18):
of support to Israel. And youknow this also comes in the middle of
We're in Passover and also on thehils of the valedictorian having her feet canceled
because they were afraid it would inciteviolence. Channon, was this a planned
protest or is this something that spontaneouslybroke out today? Well, I think
(07:40):
it was planned. But they arefollowing other students nationally from other campuses that
have been dealing with this. Therewere Jewish students in Columbia University at Yale
who said that they were being targeted. So the the pro Palestinian students,
they're coming back saying, you knowwhat, no, we were the ones
targeted. And so they're joining othercampuses across the nation calling on all universities
(08:05):
to scan and scan with them insolidarity and call for a seafire in Gaza.
All right, Well, keep aneye on that, Chris, make
sure and talk to some of thepeople there. I'm curious to know how
many of them are actual USC studentsand how many of them would be able
to articulate, you know, kindof what we assume they're they're protesting for.
(08:30):
Well, and that's part of theproblem. It's a hard thing to
articulate to the Middle East. Alwayshas been the conflict in the Middle East
for as long as forever, right, It's a very hard thing to articulate
and to decipher who's the good guysand who the bad guys are. And
you can also be in support ofthe Palestinians and the civilians in Gaza,
(08:50):
and in support of the Israelis aswell. I think that the message around
to musk gets muddled quite too often. Well, I can tell you,
guys, there are several students inthis marching line wearing USC sweaters, many
of them. And what was interestingthough, is when I went up to
(09:11):
some of the pro Palestinian students,they refused to talk to me and give
me an interview. They shook theirhand off in my face and walked away.
That was a couple of them thatI approached as I got on campus
here, so I thought that wasinteresting. They're very vocal, but refused
to talk to the media. Idon't know if that's because they're angry with
the media, but a couple ofpeople would not talk to me. Yeah,
(09:33):
and I'd heard that. One ofthe common things of this, these
protests that we've seen on different campuses, is that there's an order from organizers
to not speak to them. Yes, yet, well, that's the way
that all of the protests have beenthat I've ever covered, because they only
want the most articulate to do interviewswith the media, and they know that
(09:54):
a lot of people there are notcompletely famili with the cause and can articulate
it. Hey throw a question,Chris, why why seventy five to eighty
percent of these people are also wearingmasks? Yeah, that's it. Are
they hiding their faces? That's quest. I think that's part of it.
(10:16):
I think part of it is hidingtheir faces on purpose so that they're not
identified in case things go awry here. You know what, I've been covering
these protests since October seventh, whenthe first attack happened, and it's always
been masked. The majority of thepeople at the protests have masked, especially
the ones for them who are themost vocal. And you know, it's
(10:39):
been at every every protest that Ihave been to regarding Israel hamas the conflict,
it's been mak Yeah. I rememberthe riots and MacArthur Park and those
were the bandanas at the time.Well now we all have the masks,
right Chris, Thanks, thank you. You got a guy, Chris Adler.
They're live on the camp at USCand again one of the it doesn't
(11:03):
seem to be the largest, buta pretty good sized protest there at USC,
right through Alumni Park. One ofthe people I saw I interviewed earlier,
said he was not a student andthat he wasn't there necessarily because of
anything that USC is doing. Hewanted to support the students at Columbia University
because they could be kicked out oftheir their very public area soon. But
(11:28):
Columbia student protesters issued a statement sayingthat the administration, again, this is
Columbia University in New York. Theadministration provided a written commitment to not involve
the police at Columbia, but ifyou want a good distraction. It's time
for what you're watching Wednesday. Thefollowing program is brought to you in living
(11:50):
color. But you watch the Americanslove television. They win their kids collar
watching too many of those lives televisionshows. That was gratuitous. There was
no reason for a Google Google atthat junction, just for happiness sake.
Oh okayo Google, I didn't knowyou're going to keep doing ooh go Google
(12:13):
boogo U. So there's a lotgoing on on television these days. Katie
Perry's about to leave American Idol,among other things. Oh my god,
I haven't watched that show in aboutfive years. I haven't watched about twenty.
I would say that I was veryimpressed with the first episode of Sugar
(12:33):
on Apple TV. This is ColinFerrell playing a private detective. He specializes
in finding people who don't want tobe found. Does he talk like that,
No, but he's got a greataccent, I mean an American accent,
because that's not what he does.And then he's speaking to a woman
at one point who does have aBritish accent. It made me wonder if
(12:54):
you're trying to I mean, ifyou're speaking with an unnatural accent, not
your normal accent, and then yourun into somebody who has your normal accent.
How hard is it to keep thefake accent? Probably very difficult because
I just finnded to Michelle about this. I was in an uber in Vegas
and the driver said ooge for huge, Yeah, And I said, you
(13:16):
must be from Long Island because Ionly know one other person that says huge
ooge, and it's Ken Champeau,who's from Long Island. And Michelle was
saying, yeah, I've lost myNew York accident accent. Excuse me.
But when I'm talking to friends orfamily that are there, or you know
that I grew up with, itcomes back. So I think it would
(13:39):
be very difficult to keep up yourphony accent with the loved ones. Well.
The original Wikipedia entry that I readabout Sugar before I'd even see it's
an eight part mystery drama. Again, he's trying to find None of this
is a spoiler. He's going totry to find the granddaughter of a very
high profile Hollywood producer played James Cromwell. That'll do pig. The premise in
(14:03):
the Wikipedia entry was it's described asa gender bending, contemporary take on the
Private Detective story set in Los Angelesgender bending. I misread it genre bending.
Now that makes it more sense,because I kept I had asked a
friend who saw the whole thing whatthey you know, I had asked their
opinion, and I said, whatabout this whole gender bending thing? Is
that a part of it? Andthey said, I don't know what you're
(14:26):
talking about talking about. So Iwent back and looked at it again,
and that's very funny. That makessense. And there's a bunch of I
shouldn't say a bunch. There area handful of faces that you would recognize
outside of Colin Ferrell and James Cromwell. One of them is Amy Ryan,
and I don't even know the rightway to describe it. It's just that
she probably is most well known for, at least in my household, for
(14:52):
her stint on the office as oneof Michael Scott's girlfriends, and it's just
a strange thing to see in avery serious role that she plays. So
it's good. It's also very stylizedin that the the detective John Sugar played
by Colin Ferrell, is a hugemovie fan, so some of the things
(15:15):
that he does and references they actuallysplice in even if it's just a quick
flash cool of an old movie,old black and white movie. Yeah,
and it's it's well done. It'snot overtly done, it's not gratuitous,
but it's I mean, it's welldone. It's and it's a nice I'm
sure there are things in it thatare homage to, you know, movies
(15:39):
of the past that I don't understand. There used to be an HBO show
and I forget the name of itevery time I bring it up. But
it's basically a kid who single momplopped him in front of a TV and
the TV raised him, so throughouthis life as an adult he gets these
visions of these old shows and movies. When certain things come up, it
does sound familiar. And I neverremember the name of it. No,
(16:02):
no, that, But that's verysimilar. All right. There was another
show that I just started. I'monly watching it by myself. I know
my wife wouldn't love it. Butwe'll tell you what that is when we
come back. It's not adult.It's not a Debora Mark show or anything.
I need a good show to watch. By the way, I know
I'm with you, and one ofthe prerequisites for your show there there's a
lot of banging around. Well thereneeds to be some kind of sexy stuff
(16:26):
going on. Six seasons. Yeah, I don't remember much of it.
I just remember watching it as ayouth and Wendey Malick, where was it
appropriate for you to be? Iwatched it with my parents. They put
they they had me watch a lotof stuff that maybe you would deem inappropriate.
(16:47):
I was watching Basic Instinct recently andremember seeing that in the movie theater
and that came out what when Iwas like eleven. Yeah, my parents
were very much we were going towatch what we're gonna watch, and if
we have to take the kids,will take the kids. And that's just
gonna be the thing that happened.They're going to be introduced to Sharon Joan,
Yeah, all of her goodness andall that stuff. Now, Hey,
(17:11):
Gary and Shannon, it's me Andy. On what you're watching? What
I was looking at? I waswatching an episode of The Brady Bunch.
It was on one of the streamingservices, one of the better streaming services.
Because I got the entire episode.I know because I'm watching it.
It's going on and it's on.It is not what we've been used to
seeing on syndicated TV and the advertiserservices. It is what your episode is,
(17:36):
plus that's what I'm watching this Wednesday. Okay, Brady Bunch, Breaking
News, Good morning, Gary andShannon. So I'm watching a thing called
twenty four Hour Last Steff Standing onFood Network. It's old school, as
in, once a week you geta new episode so you can't binge it.
And basically it's about chefs that haveto compete twenty four hours straight and
(17:56):
there's little breaks or whatever, butnot real breaks. It's interesting. My
husband and I call it Cocaine Kitchen. So I hope you guys like it.
Maybe something a little different than yourDowntown Abby's and whatnot Downtown Abbey.
That sounds like a good show showsfor Shannon. Yes, Fried Green Tomatoes
(18:17):
is on Netflix again. Good.Yes, Megan Levy really good. I
want to see that. My topso far. I loved my mind Hunter
Okay, night Agent. Good.My top two Murder at the End of
the World and I Love, Love, Love louder Milk unlocked fascinating Murder at
(18:42):
the End of the World. I'venever heard of that one. I started
watching Fallout on Amazon. So Falloutis based on the video the series of
video games. Fallout basically takes placehundreds of year after nuclear war, so
the technology is frozen two hundred yearsago, but humans have, you know,
(19:06):
we've moved on and been able tosurvive, in this case in vaults
underground, and then they go backup to the surface to find whatever adventure
they can get into. The showis really, really good, and I
realized that even just a couple episodesin. I didn't notice when I the
first episode, but in the secondepisode it's Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy who
(19:27):
brought you, among other things,Westworld. So there's and there's there's hints
of that Westworld kind of attitude towardsit. There's not a lot of the
timeline jump. I mean, thereis timeline jumping, but it's not enough.
It's not meant to confuse you.In Westworld, the whole thing was
at what am I watching is thatthe same is? Are they the same
(19:49):
character in different points in time?None of that happens here, at least
not yet. It's just a reallywell done sci fi kind of adventure where
a woman who lives underground has togo up to this world that she's unfamiliar
with and you know, the hardscape of a post apocalyptic earth, specifically
(20:10):
Los Angeles and southern California, andshe's got to she's looking for her father.
I mean, it's it's that kindof a easy plot. But when
you throw in the weirdness of whois still around two hundred years after a
nuclear war, who's still around thesurface of the Earth, and kind of
all they're all bandits, it's alot. There's some some nods to old
(20:36):
Westerns and that sounds very Westworld esque. Yeah, I mean weaving all that
stuff in. Great soundtrack too,really really great soundtrack for Fallout, And
there were so many people that watchedit. They said, Fallout is the
only prime video show in the topten, but it's minutes watch completely eclipse
(21:00):
everything else from Netflix or Apple TV. Number two is Netflix is unlocked,
as she was referring to there,but way back at only seven hundred and
ninety three million minutes watched. That'show they're judging this seven hundred and ninety
three million. Right now, Fallouthas two point five billion minutes watched in
(21:21):
just the first week that it wason the service. That's pretty good.
So they immediately within one week ofit being released, decided that they would
do a season two as well.Teenage girls create their own weather system,
don't they, And that is kindof the theme behind Under the Bridge,
which is based on a true story, and it's one of those shows that
(21:45):
is parsing out the episode so youcan't watch it all at once. There
were two episodes were released last Wednesday. I believe at least another one released
today and I have to stop myselffrom googling the true events of what happened.
Go Go Good bost which is verytough for me to do because I
want all the answers right away.But it's about a girl, Rina Verk,
(22:11):
a Canadian girl fourteen years old,goes to join friends at a party
never returns home. The first twoepisodes do reveal some mean girl motives.
Seven teenage girls and a boy wereaccused of her savage murder, and it's
all about a journalist kind of comingback and trying to figure out what happened.
Also a female officer kind of takingthe lead on this one as well.
(22:34):
So it's very well acted so far. I can recommend that you guys,
the best show limited series on Netflixright now is Ripley. I don't
know if you've spoken about it before, but it's only eight episodes. It
stars Andrew Scott, who was inFlea Bag as the priest Dakota Fanning.
(22:55):
It's kind of it's shot in blackand white. It's a period sixties piece
that totally reminds me of Offered Hitchcock. It's absolutely brilliant, and I just
I've been telling everything, Yeah weloved it. Couldn't even fit the whole
message, Yeah we loved it.We gushed about that last week was it
and she made a point about itbeing very hitchcock esque. The more I
(23:15):
read about how they did it,there were very much intending for that to
be. What you got away from. What you took away from it was
that it was an homage to Hitchcock. The angles of those shots are just
so incredible. And it's an oddlysoothing show that involves multiple murders, right,
(23:37):
and you're kind of rooting for themurderer in it, which makes you
feel interesting. My sisters headed toItaly in a few weeks and I don't
know anything about it. I've neverbeen there, obviously, and I said
to her, there's a couple moviesyou have a couple of things you have
to watch. Number one is Equalizerthree with Denzel Washington, and the other
one is Ripley because there's such beautifuluse of Italy as its own sort of
(24:03):
character in it. So she's gonnawatch it and we'll see how it compares.
