Episode Transcript

(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
And this must be the worst weekendof all for the box office. I
know movie theaters from coast to coastare just begging, begging for the summer
season to begin, because there's noway in the world that theaters can survive

(00:21):
off this listless box office. Youheard the review from Mark Ronner on Friday
for The Fall Guy. The goodnews is it came in at number one.
The bad news is only twenty sevenmillion, which doesn't mean a lot
for theater business on a day today basis. And the number two movie

(00:41):
in all of America Star Wars Episodeone, The Phantom Menace, a re
release which originally came out in nineteenninety nine. This is the twenty fifth
anniversary, and of course it wasStar Wars weekend. May the fourth be
with you and all that. Doyou remember where you were when you first
saw The Phantom Menace. I'm gladthat I asked, because I remember I

(01:03):
was working for Warner Brothers Records,and to all of you probably have a
similar story. I was working forWarner Brothers Records. I worked late that
night and I got in line,purchased my ticket early, got in line,
stood in line for hours waiting forlike the twelve thirty post midnight show.
The movie didn't end to almost threein the morning. I went home,

(01:25):
got two hours of sleep, andwent right into the office. I
remember, and Mark Ronnie, youprobably agree with this. I remember how
disappointed I was at that movie,with the exception of Darth Maul. With
Darth Maul the pod race, thepod race was cool. Everything else,
Darth Maul, pod Race, everythingelse. Yeah, the soundtrack track was

(01:46):
good. Oh yeah, yes,fit the Duly Fates. Yeah, that
was great. Yeah, I wasterrible. In fact, I remember at
the time, I believe I wasworking at the Seattle Times and I was
reporting on people camping out in linefor days and days to get into the
movie first. That was their rewardthat movie. Hey, look, you're

(02:09):
basically talking to one. I didn'tcamp out for days, but I was
there for a bunch of hours waitingfor that movie opening night. I remember
I saw it in Westwood, asa matter of fact, because I was
living on the west side of townat that time. It was that whole
jar Jar Binks thing. Oh thatwas unbearable. That was unbearable. The

(02:30):
thing is, though, I didn'thave to camp out because I was working
at of course, at the Beatat the time, and a bunch of
people from the station they had gotwe got tickets for I believe it's like
a midnight or twelve thir or somethingshowing at the Man Chinese. So I
was still at the station. Isaid, I'm gonna wait here a little
more work, waited, and thenwent over there just like you got out

(02:52):
blurry eyed. But I enjoyed myself. We had fun, and I think
I enjoyed the experience. Maybe notthe movie because that that whole Anakin and
the Midi chloreans and all that thatwas like, give me a break,
But the experience those standing in linelate at night took me back to when
I was a kid. Yeah,I enjoyed that experience. I just felt

(03:13):
very disappointed with the final product,if only because I felt it was Ewok
adjacent. Yeah, if you're nota real Star Wars fan, you may
not remember. Return of the Jedihad a very different treatment when it originally
came out in nineteen eighty three.They had this whole Ewok song that they
were playing on the radio. Itwas made almost for kids. It's a

(03:37):
very different movie that you see now. They've redone a lot of things with
it. I felt the Phantom Menacewas trying to do a lot of the
similar stuff from Return of the Jedi. The whole thing with Jar Jar Binks
is like, who are you tryingto appeal to? It's not serious,
not Star Wars. The movie didn'twork for me outside of Darth Maul pod

(03:57):
racing was fine, but that waskind of a beat by beat thing where
in every Star Wars movie you havethe opening action scene, you have the
mid scene where there's some sort ofracing or something fast going on, like
in Return of the Jedi you haveit in the forest, didn't have the
big battle scene at the end.It hit all those beats, those Star
Wars beats. Those are fine,but it seemed like it was trending in

(04:19):
that direction where they were trying toohard for the humor as opposed to letting
it more naturally happen. Han Solo'scharacter, his lines were naturally funny.
Phantom mens it seemed like, oh, they're just going for jokes now,
and it didn't. It didn't workfor me and plus the actors were very,
very dry, So yes, itdidn't hit. It didn't hit Lim's

(04:41):
Nissen and McGregor and them. Nah, their humor was not good. The
kid was stupid. It was stupid, right, the kid was stupid,
grows up to become Darth Vader.No way, no way, no way.
Well, to me, the onlygood part of the whole trilogy that
was the buddy cop Jedis and therest of it was painfully bad. And

(05:04):
you bring up jar Jar Binks.I mean, I don't know if you
want to go there, but Ialong with the fact that it signaled there
was nobody around George Lucas to tellingme ho had a bad idea and like,
maybe this isn't such a great thingwe want to put on there.
Well, you know, maybe theywere trying to appeal to the elderly folks
who missed the old minstrel shows fromtheir youth. It was right there.

(05:27):
You know, I'm my best actorwho played jar Jar Binks and that really
disappointed me because he's a black actorand he should have known better. I
feel bad for him because I've readstories about his life after that. He
didn't deserve that. No, now, the amount of abuse that he took
after that. It literally led himto the Golden gate Bridge and he was

(05:49):
going to jump and take his life, and I'm glad he did not,
and I'm glad he has the storyto pass along to a son, especially
because of what he did. Returnlearning to the Star Wars franchise is one
of the most badass jedis in theworst co series The Serius No No,

(06:09):
No, No Man Lauren and Lauren. Yes, however it was still it
was. It was a nice endingto his particular story, The Phantom Menace.
I don't hate it, but Ihate that they killed off Darth Maul.
It was a great character. Wouldhave loved to have seen him the
next two movies, but no,we ended up with Dooku. You know.

(06:30):
It was old and Geritoh no,That's why. That's why the animated
series was so good, because hisstory did not end. His story in
the series. You're never gonna hearme complain about Christopher Lee being in something.
He's terrific, But he was nearlydead at the time, literally literally
nearly dead. And I liked himas an actor. I just as someone

(06:56):
to supplant Darth Maul. It's like, no, no, you had a
great villain, someone who was worthyof preceding Darth Vader. Oh and is
a terrific martial artist as well.Yes, like the real deal. Oh
no, no, no, Ilook we know Ray Park. Tawala was
even hanging out with Ray Park.Cool ass dude. Okay, look his

(07:20):
voice threw me. I did not, because when I saw him, I
said, oh my god, you'reRay Park. And he had this voice
one an accident, but also thisvoice that was very very almost high almost
high pitched in tone, and soI was like, oh, yeah,
they really did do it a voiceover. But yeah, I met Ray Park

(07:41):
and hung out with him at theThe Force Awakens World premiere. Amazingly cool
guy, amazingly cool, like socool. And I'm sitting there geeking out,
like your Ray Park. You arethe man to just and just all
the villain. This work he's done, he was told and he is.

(08:01):
He has stuff. Yes, yeshe was, Yes he was. See
now Tony, now your nurse that'scoming out. I love him. But
we say all that to say,you know, it's bittersweet. Twenty five
years ago, The Phantom Menace StarWars Episode one, The Phantom Menace debut
in theaters, but it also tellsyou the lasting impact of Star Wars that

(08:24):
Universe. Twenty five years later,one of the lesser regarded movies of the
nine still is the number two moviein all of America. Well, that
means the bar is really low.And by the way, it is with
twenty eight million bucks for The FallGuy. That thing cost one hundred and
thirty million to make. They gota lot to go. Yeah, that's

(08:46):
a road. No they're not.It's not gonna be any better after the
first weekend. Nope, it's gonnacut in half by next week and then
we're gonna see it on cable reallyfast. I'm almost disappointed. I didn't
see it at theaters, Like notreally. Oh no, no, it
was painful for me to sit through. It's Later with Mo Kelly when we
come back. There is some goodnews on the entertainment front in the sense

(09:09):
of contracts. Sag After has inkedto deal with Nielsen to measure streaming content
that's going to have all sorts ofrepercussions. I would say positive ones for
contracts down the road. We'll tellyou about it next. You're listening to
Later with Moe Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Remember you can
always hit me on Instagram at laterwith Moe Kelly. Also on Facebook at

(09:35):
later with mo Kelly. As webroaden our social media footprint. You may
remember last year. Of course,you remember we talked about it frequently during
the actor strike and the writer strike. One of the key sticking points was
streaming being paid adequately for streams,being paid adequately for working on streaming shows,

(10:00):
getting enough episodes, and also themetrics involved. For the most part,
streaming platforms were very very close tothe vests with their numbers. They
did not share them publicly or evenprivately for that matter, and actors and
writers knew that they were missing outon some degree of residuals. Well sag

(10:20):
After has now cut a deal withNielsen to be a third party provider of
streaming content measurement. And this isreally important because, as I was saying,
there was no way to really monitorhow often people were watching, or
what they're watching, or how longthey're watching it. They didn't have the
metrics outside of what the streaming platformswould tell you or me, and that

(10:46):
was basically nothing. Netflix, PrimeVideo and Peacock they are the platforms which
you would see all these bona fidehit shows. And the deal saw that
streamers agree to release some data privatelyto the union to help gauge what shows
or hits and which are not.And also they can be residuals which can

(11:09):
be tallied from that. The Nielsendeal suggests that the union wants to be
sure that there's another party involved forforecasting and enforcement. In other words,
you have someone on those We don'thave to just take Netflix's numbers for granted,
We don't have to just take themat their word just because they say,
yeah, you know that squid gamething, only two people saw it.

(11:33):
Only two people watched it, youknow, over six months. It's
really a shame. It didn't makeany money. And we're not necessarily obligated
to pay anyone because of that.And this is what needed to be done
to ensure actors and writers have abackstop, to ensure that the deals are
not only fair, but they're beingenforced. It's one thing to have it

(11:56):
on paper, but if you don'thave the measuring, the yardstick to somehow
validate and verify how often something's beenwatched, how long something's been watched how
many times? Then it's very difficultto actually go to these streaming platforms and
get the money that you deserve asan actor and also a content creator.

(12:18):
This is going to change everything now. In radio they have that to a
certain degree, but they didn't haveit in television enter entertainment in regard to
streaming, which is kind of strange. You would think Nielsen would have been
way out in front of that.But I guess it's easier, correct me
if I'm wrong, Mark. Maybeit's easier because it was broadcast television and

(12:39):
those are public signals and they couldmonitor that as opposed to the private signals
where they didn't have to give upany of that information. Well, they've
kept that so close to the vestthat there's no way for even us to
know without I mean, let metry to gather my thoughts here. You
brought up Squid Game, which wasa perfect example of this, because the

(13:03):
show is a massive, massive hitfor Netflix, and they weren't given the
people who made it anything. Youremember that, not a time, not
a dime, not the actors,not the writers, not a dime.
They bought it and that was it. They got a flat rate, right,
So We have to have more transparencyjust for basic you know, paying
people what they're owed, and alsowe get a better sense as a viewer

(13:28):
what people actually like. It's onething when we put on Netflix and it
says it's the top ten, Well, what does that mean? It is
one and two? Are they equidistantfrom three and four? How close is
number five to number one? I'mall into those statistics, but we really
never had a true sense of howmuch something was actually valued by you and

(13:52):
me. I mean, how oftenwere or how long people were spending time
with these titles, not just squidGame, but anything which may be at
the top of the charts in thegiven week. We had Rebel Moon,
which was at the top of thecharts for just one week. Now I
think it's dropped to number seven,and rightfully so, because it sucked.
Oh yeah, you actually did youwatch part two? Because part one was
so bad? I cut my losses. No, no, no, I

(14:15):
started part two and I stopped becausepeople were singing too much. There's a
lot of singing. Oh god,now, Ja Walla corrected me. He
said, no, they weren't singing. He was like he was yodling or
something. I don't know what,well, I said, he said,
what it wasn't singing. I said, it was singing to me. They
wasn't singing. It was a tribalchant. Well, there it is,

(14:37):
Okay, a tribal chant with melody. Okay. Look, it was like
it was a tribal thing, andthat's why he wanted to include it.
It wasn't that bad. I mean, come on, look, it was
fine for something being included in mysubscription. Yes, I would have never
paid three ninety nine for it.I never would have paid five ninety nine.

(14:58):
I wouldn't have paid ninety nine fortBut it was fine for being included
in my subscription. Yes, ratedin for Netflix, rated C for never
Mind. Don't say that I amfascinated by all this rating stuff though,
because we grew up in a timewhen there were only three networks in PBS,
and to this day I am watchingcompilations on YouTube of shows that I

(15:22):
never really saw because there was noway to watch or catch up on anything
if you watched one of the threeshows that were on at at any given
time, you know, and itwas not uncommon at the time for like,
say, I don't know, likein nineteen sixty eight, an episode
of the Wild Wild West to havea fifty share, which means half of
all the people watching TV were watchingone show together. We don't have anything

(15:43):
approaching that anymore, nothing even close. But streaming is what you make it.
And when they say that we arein the Golden Age, I wholeheartedly
agree with that. For me,I am never at a loss to find
something to watch. It just dependson my mood. But I know there's
something I want to watch, especiallyif it's an old show, I can

(16:03):
find it. I am really enjoyinggoing back and watching shows of my childhood
because now as an adult, they'recompletely new. I'm going back and watching
a Policewoman, Angie Dickinson, Ohyeah, just all rock from Files,
all sorts of shows that I watchedas a child, but they would seem
very different now. Like, forexample, I said that I was rewatching

(16:25):
speed Racer from first episode all theway through episode fifty in a chronological order.
I get a kick out of that, and we can only do that
now in history. We couldn't dothat ten years ago. For me,
this is absolutely wonderful. I don'tneed new content all the time, but
Netflix does satisfy that need if andwhen I'm looking for the latest action movie,

(16:48):
and it doesn't have to be theblockbuster. It could be the movie
from France that has been dubbed intoEnglish and it's good enough. And I
agree with you. I think partof the reason that I watch so much
old TV is that so much currentTV is so worthless. Yes, yes,
yeah, almost, like there's noreal care or attention put into good

(17:11):
storytelling. That's part of the reasonof as far as broadcast TV, I
still watch the Dick Wolf shows,be it you know, Chicago PD or
Law and Order SVU, Law andOrder Organized Crime. I still think in
an episodic sense, that's the bestof primetime television. Well, you know
that I wrote for a Law andOrder video game, so I love that

(17:32):
stuff. But I'll tell you Idiscovered the rediscovered the best show that I
had almost forgotten about, called TheImmortal with Christopher George. You got,
Yes, they're all on YouTube,you don't have to order a DVD or
anything like that. And it's abouta guy who has blood that makes him
immortal, and a rich guy wantsit so that he can live forever.
And so the Christopher George is onthe run from people who want to capture

(17:55):
him and hold him hostage and takehis blood. Terrific, terrific show.
And I'm just not finding things thatare that compelling on most normal broadcast TV
right now. It could be worse. It could be like Twala who didn't
discover Law and Order until he wasin the hospital for like a month and
he was forced to watch it.That's how he discovered Law and Order.

(18:15):
It's comfort viewing for true story,Yeah it is. It is comfort viewing.
And now I've seen every single episode, like at least fifty eleven times.
Can you defend yourself in court?Now? I can? I think
I really can. Yeah, that'show I started feeling after about one hundred
episodes. Y'all like hilarious, It'slady with bo Kelly. Look at the
time, can if I amswers forty? We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

(18:37):
And since Tuala is producing the showtonight, you will notice a theme
back for the horoscope. We weretalking about how May was National Month.
Well, when we come back,we have to have a conversation about a
convention of furries and how it descendedinto sexual chaos. Because Tuala is a

(19:00):
producer of the show, We havea furry update when we come back.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
I'm a firm believer in meeting someonewhere they are. I shouldn't assume that
everybody knows what a furry is.Tony's you know what a furry is?
Sadly yes, Okay, Mark Ronnerd, do you know what a furry is?

(19:23):
I'm sorry to say that I do. Okay, Twala, I know
you know what a furry is,but I'm not going to assume. Okay,
I'm not gonna shure everyone knows.There are these confabs, these groups
who dress up in animal outfits furriesfor lack of a better word, and

(19:44):
they role play, they do thingstogether, and they're large conventions in which
furries come together and meet up,usually for sex, drugs, some other
form of debauchery. And there wasa furry convention back in twenty fifteen,
which is legendary in nature, whichtrashed a hotel and then had the Furry

(20:07):
Convention ban from the city of Seattleforever. It was called Rain First twenty
fifteen, and more and more storiesare still coming out I mean ending up
in the news. It supposedly wasmeant to be an annual convention designed for

(20:29):
and by furries, but the debaucherythat ensued this, according to Daily Mail,
left animal loving organizers banned from everholding another event in the city of
Seattle after they trashed a hotel thefloor. Let me let me just start
like this. The event started offto go off the rails when someone purposely
loosened a bolt on one of theHilton Seattle Airport and Conference Centers toilets,

(20:52):
causing it to flood instantly. Mark, have you ever been there? I
have the airport, I've been tothat hotel many times. That's where they
have the Crypticon Horror convention each year. Oh, you're there for Crypticon,
but not rain frost. The floorwas soon filled with two inches of putrid
toilet water. The first side hosthad overestimated the wholesomeness of their guests.

(21:17):
I guess they thought it was goingto be like a Disneyland convention because everyone
was coming in costumes. Well,they're cute furry costas, So being a
furry is not just necessarily wearing ananimal costume. It's wearing a cute cuddly
animal costume. Attendees indulged in drinkand drugs that eventually gave way to destruction.
A series of arrests ensued as attendeesdowned diapers and even went as far

(21:42):
as defecating in a pool. Ahot tub was also flooded when a person
shoved towels and the pump filling itwith water. The hotel was left in
ruins, more than one hundred thousanddollars in damages, and the Furry Convention
was banned for life. How canyou not know in the age of the

(22:02):
Internet, what a furry is inwhat they do the whole point. It's
almost like eyes white shut. Peopleare wearing masks so they can have sex,
and you don't know who the personis, or at least there's somewhat
anonymous. Well, back in twentyfifteen, this was also still relatively new,
and it was thought to just bea gathering of like LARP players,

(22:25):
like live action role players coming together, you know, almost like Trekky's coming
together. They thought, oh,it's gonna be something like that, and
then they found out furries go wild. They go wild like the animals that
they portray. I gotta tell youthat. I bet there's some overlap between
the Trekies and the furries. AndI've been to Star Trek conventions when I

(22:48):
was a kid. It would notshock me the least bit. There has
to be overlap, if only becausethe convention culture, I think is a
very similar culture. Regardless. Ifyou go to conventions, you kind of
know that's when people tend to letloose and you throw in some anonymity and
some costumes and some sex, somealcohol and some drugs. Yeah, only

(23:14):
one bad thing could happen, Ithink everything. Last year there was a
furry attack at Huntington Beach. Ithink a guy was out there trying to
film some furries like live in Nature, and the furries attacked the wild and
the while they were on the HuntingtonBeach they attacked him. Furries trunk of
a guy. Well, they can'tbe very aggressive because they're very territorial in

(23:37):
that regard. I just I'm surprisedthough that this still goes on in an
age where you know the cameras everywhere. They're not as anonymous as they may
believe, because why they're checking inthe hotels under their real name. Yeah,
but they also have like one individualwho will get the room like,
they'll have an assistant. How doyou rent? I don't know. I'm

(24:00):
just saying I have heard of whatfurries do, and they oftentimes what they
will do is they will have arepresentative, uh, check rooms because the
anonymity is part of being a furryfor the most part. But you know,
I'm just I don't get it.I just don't get the allure.

(24:22):
I'm not a furry, so Iguess I'm not supposed to get it.
But I mean, they're no differentthan people that you know, wear those
full body latex suit and whip eachother. What are you talking about?
What are they called? What arethey called? Me? Domina talking about
those you know Dominatris where they goand they get the guys and they put

(24:42):
them, put them in diapers andcuff them and whip them with whoa.
It's a whole different show. Now, I don't know what you're talking about.
Maybe sometimes furries just want to cuddle. You ever think of that cuddle
with drugs? Well, go ahead, somebody said, some drugs I'm sure
to make you want to cuddle more. No, I don't do drugs.

(25:07):
I don't do furries. I'm nota furry efor. Let's just go to
break, just like I have noidea what this show is going. You're
listening to Later with Moe Kelly ondemand from KFI AM six forty and twala.
Did you see our boss sense themessage? She's very, very very

(25:27):
interested in our last segment. Yeah, he's running down the hall right now.
That that subject matter tends to getpeople's attention right away. No,
but she had her own personal anecdoteto offer, and that's all I'm gonna
say. I'm not gonna say anythingmore. But evidently everybody has a furry
story or something like that, oran encounter or something. You know,

(25:49):
I've seen furries from a distance,have you? Did you? No?
My experiences is zero with furries.I'm oh, i've seen furries from a
distance. You can tell out grownass people walking somewhere in animal costumes aren't
a dead giveaway and of them.Okay, no, I was not.

(26:11):
Let me rephrase that. Where wereyou where you saw furries? Oh?
It was somewhere near the LA ConventionCenter, So I sue there's something going
on there. Yeah, so myimmediate I have to look up the date
because find out exactly what it was, but my immediate assumption was, oh,
there must be some sort of furryconvention coming going on right now.
So it didn't strike me as oddbecause we had been covering furries no put

(26:33):
intended for quite some time. Welllet's just say, theoretically you did decide
to explore the world of furries.What would you be mo? I wouldn't,
so I won't, so I don'thave an answer. But if I
did, if you did, that'slike saying if I had four legs,
I'm not, so it doesn't matter. So your answer is a bear,

(26:53):
I got it. No, that'sjust what's been on your mind. That's
a Freudian slip on your part.No, No, I'm just trying to
be a diligent journalist here with arecalcitrant subject. And yes I am.
Answer is witness, loud and clear, A bear got it. Look to

(27:15):
be serious. We all have ourthing, we all like what we like.
Some of that may be, youknow, put on public display.
Most of it probably will not.I'm not an exhibitionist anymore, so you
know that that time of my lifeis behind me. But I was never
furry adjacent. Never. When yousay anymore could you please go into detail.

(27:37):
Oh no, I got some storiesthat I can tell. I have
lived life, if if, if, if, my time on this earth,
heaven forbid, should be up sometimesoon. I know that I can
say I have lived. I havetoo many stories that I cannot tell on
the radio. How many of theminvolve a bear costume? No, not

(28:00):
a one, Okay, not aone, But they do involve moments in
the music industry and things of thatnature. I would like to be yes.
No. I have been invited tosome group settings in the valley.
I have never been invited to afurry gathering. I would I would not

(28:22):
be mad at going to see Idon't know furries and heat. I don't
know what happens at one of thesegatherings, but I would go and just
kind of check out the scene andsee what they're doing. I don't know.
Do I have to dress up?I don't think if I have to
dress up, I can't go.You do, of course. You know.
It's like those those swinger parties thatyou've been invited to that you told
us about. You have to thererules, and there there are rules.

(28:45):
That's what kept me from going.I was like, oh, no,
yeah. Just the phrase group settingsin the valley. It makes you think,
oh, so Ron Jeremy's going tobe there. He probably was.
Yeah, no, no, no, no no. And look, I've
hung out with Ron Jeremy. Hewould always go to Jerry's Deli in Studio
City. You would always find themthere. So I got there are times

(29:07):
where get to hang out and sitwith Ron Jerry Jeremy and ask him questions.
He's as weird as you may thinkhe would be. Oh yeah,
I don't look, I got somestories. I got some stories for you.
I could I told you about porn, star karaoke and all that.
I got some stories. Not allof them can be told on the radio.
And no I'm not going to putthem in a book. Nope,

(29:30):
to just have to die with me. No, just a small book,
a hand waller, oh, apicture book, maybe a crayon coloring book.
Yeah, no, to be serious. Working in the music industry in
the late nineties early two thousands,it was a different time because it was

(29:51):
pre internet, and it allowed alevel of freedom that just will never exist
again. So you were able tomove in certain spaces which would seem fantastical
to a person who never would encounterthat world, the whole eyes wide shut,
