(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty and
I would say a pleasant surprise tothe box office and movie theaters nationwide Twisters.
I gave a review. I likedit, didn't love it, wasn't
wowed by it. I was farmore partial to the original Twister with Helen
(00:23):
Hunt and Bill Paxton. This wasa fine movie, but it was supposed
to be a sequel of sorts tothat movie, and it's not. There's
no connective tissue. There are easteras. If you're really paying attention,
you'll see, oh, that's justlike that, or that's a throwback to
that, but there's no connection instoryline, so I can't call it a
sequel. But it happens in thesame universe in the way that you know,
(00:48):
Mark and I work at the sameradio station, but you know,
we don't have a whole lot ofconnection. I don't even like the guy,
nothing else in common with nothing butTwisters came in at number one with
eighty one million dollars tomestically one hundredand twenty four million worldwide, and against
a two hundred million dollar budget.It needed to have a great first week
(01:08):
and it did that. Of course, you have to look at the second
week drop off to see if there'sa negative or positive word of mouth which
is driving it into its second week. But from what I hear, it's
receiving pretty decent word of mouth.I wasn't wowed by it, but I
don't need to rain down on it. I don't need to talk bad about
it. Despicable me. Even thoughTawalla hated it, it's still hanging in
(01:30):
there and it's third week. Camein at number two with a very healthy
twenty four point four million, andit passed the half billion dollar mark.
Has five hundred and seventy seven milliondollars worldwide. It's not bad for the
fourth movie in a franchise. Yeah, well, you know people wanted to
get out the sign. Yeah wellno, I'm sure that's part of it.
(01:51):
And it's not a lot of competition, But it's about what you do
when you don't have that competition.Inside Out two is the hit of the
year. Came in at number threewith another twelve point eight million domestically.
It has a worldwide total of onepoint four four five billion dollars. I
(02:12):
don't think it's going to reach twobillion, but it should reach one point
six, maybe one point seven.It'd be the biggest animated release today ever.
Yeah. Coming in at number fourMark long Legs. Yeah, that's
really exceeded expectation. So as faras I know, it's got a worldwide
gross of around forty seven million.Yeah, on a budget of under ten
and that that is a big hitfor a horror film. That's a huge
(02:35):
multiplier. And it's not done.It is still going strong. It brought
in another eleven point nine million inits second week. Coming at number five.
Is a quiet place. Day Onestill hanging around. Didn't do bad.
It's at two hundred and forty onemillion, but it's still behind its
prequels. I guess you can callthem prequels, the movies which preceded it
(02:57):
coming in at number five, andthis is something we kind of touched upon.
I want to talk about it more. I haven't seen it yet.
Fly Me to the Moon it camein at six and it brought in three
point three million, for a grandtotal of thirty million so far. I
really didn't care to see this moviebecause as far as I'm concerned, it's
(03:19):
a capricorn one with a little bitmore humor as far as I'm concerned.
It talks about possibly faking a moonlanding for I don't know whatever purposes,
and all the technology they do touse to fool the public. It's an
apt conversation given the conspiratorial nature ofpeople today in society. But it's been
(03:43):
done, and I don't think youcan improve upon Capricorn ones. Absolutely not.
Capricorn one is a perfect movie,thank you. We agree on that
one. Yeah, one thing.Yeah, And I wish Capricorn one was
made exact same way in twenty twentyfour. He had the special effects and
could have done just a little bitmore with the production, just a little
(04:04):
bit more. There's a story's perfect. Yeah, there's no way you can
improve on Telly Savalis yelling get yourbee pad down in the plane. Look,
wasn't oj That was his best performanceoutside of when he was on trial.
Well that it's a tough call.Come on, Stephan, I worked
all night for that one, Thankyou very much. Then you've got Sam
(04:26):
Waterston in that movie telling the VeryYoung One the longest joke of all time.
Yes, Sam Waterston obviously of Lawand Order fame. Coming at number
seven was Bad Boys Ride or Die, another movie which has pleasantly surprised and
overperformed, arguably has a worldwide grossof three hundred and eighty eight million.
If I'm not mistaken, it mightbe the highest grossing one except for the
(04:49):
first one. Right now, isgetting there? Yeah? Yeah, you
don't expect that. Usually you expectattrition when you get to the third or
fourth movie. Talking about like DespicableMe, you usually don't have a surgeons
in the franchise. Like they're doinganother min in black movie. Why yeah,
why? Who wants to see that? No one turned out to see
the last one, which had herand him Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson,
(05:13):
her and him trash. It wasbad, so you actually saw it?
No, I did see it.I really did. It was not one
funny redemptive moment in the movie.And I like both of them as actors
individually and other stuff they've done together. Glad I went with my gut on
that one. Oh no, no, no, you missed absolutely nothing.
I would not in good conscience recommendthat to anyone. Coming in at number
(05:35):
eight is bad news. N Ew Z. I have no idea what
that is, but it brought himlike a million dollars a crazy laugh riot,
which will show the outcomes of twosophisticated Poonjabi men and a Punjabi girl.
One of the men has a onenight stand with the girl and somehow
craziness happens when she is pregnant unexpectedly. It doesn't sound funny. That does
(05:56):
sound funny. That sounds like life, sounds like I was like, yeah,
some drinks, yeah, little,It sounds like any college campus.
I'm not paying to watch that.There are a lot of people I know
who lived that. I don't getit. Whatever, but it brought it
in a million dollars. Uh,Maxine triple X mark you talked about that.
Yeah, yeah, that's the thirdof a trilogy. And I actually
(06:18):
haven't seen Maxine yet, but i'veseen the first two. Their their quality,
they're decent. They're not life changing. It's not a classic, but
very very well worth seeing. Well. I'm sure its budget was not more
than the seventeen point eight million thatit's brought in so far, so it's
probably making money. Oh, no, big hit on that front. As
always, horror films don't cost muchto make their critic proof, and they
(06:41):
always bring in a lot now movieI am very disappointed in. I haven't
seen it yet, and I stilldo plan to see it because I'm a
Tom Hardy fan. He's one ofthose actors I just like watching on the
screen the Bike Riders. Oh yeah, you should see that. It's really
not bad at all. Okay,it's gross worldwide thirty four millions so far,
and I'm getting the feeling and thisis not well. I guess it's
(07:06):
kind of critical of Tom Hardy.He's not a bona fide star. He
works well in an ensemble cast.Well, he's more of an actor than
a star. I'll give you that. Yeah, he's glamorous. Yeah he
doesn't well. But but the moviesthat he has had the starring role and
he has not had great success in. I think that's on vide on demand
(07:27):
now, well there we gorime.Oh yeah, I wouldn't doubt that.
And he kind of he does somesort of a Warner Brothers thing to his
voice in this one. I meanwhatever, the opposite of a leading man
is he? That's what he appearsto be going for. But I like
Tom Hardy on screen. I likeif he's in the movie, I'm interested.
Oh yeah, it just hasn't translatedbig picture, no pun intended to
(07:51):
his vehicles, which he's a star. I'm also disappointed, like you probably
are, that he didn't really takethe Mad Max thing and run with it.
No, Well was it offered tohim. We don't even know that,
right, because I know Furiosa underperformedand maybe they didn't see him as
being able to Look, they dida Furiosa film before they did another Mad
(08:11):
Max film, So what does thattell you? Yeah, he was kind
of on the verge of a fewreally big things, Like there was talk
of him becoming bond at one pointtoo. Yeah. You know what happens
you do venom and then people startdoubting you. That's what happened. Well,
the indefensible. But here's the thing, financially, that's probably the biggest
thing that he's done, the firstVenom. Yeah, those things all made
money to our eternal shame as acivilization, you know. And it goes
(08:35):
back to that first that Star Trekmovie he was in, Oh, Nemesis
Nemesis. Yeah, yeah, whenhe was a young actor. I don't
think most people even realized that washim until it was pointed out later on,
because he was so gaunt to them, but he's like a child actor
his size. He's just so tinywell, and he's hard to recognize bald
too. You can tell by thatgrill though, is right? Those teeth
(08:58):
have not changed. Okay, allright, sorry Tom if you're listening,
but it's true you and all that, buddy, you still haven't gotten your
teeth. Are they some British teeth? Is that what you're saying at the
bottom row? Definitely, they're veryBritish. Thanks for the clarification. It's
later with Moe Kelly when we comeback on the other side. The beloved
historic movie theaters Westwood Village and Bruin. I know that I've been there.
(09:22):
I remember when I went there tosee The Phantom Menace opening night and I
waited in line for like a oneam showing, the only time in life
that I waited out in line fora Star Wars movie. It didn't get
out to almost four in the morning, and I went straight to work at
Warner Brothers Records at eight. Itwas the worst decision of my life.
(09:43):
But we mentioned that because the WestwoodVillage and Bruin closing this week. Damn,
that's next. You're listening to laterwith Moe Kelly on demand from KFI
AM six forty. And if you'veever seen a movie in Westwood, there's
a pretty good chance you've seen oneeither at the Westwood Village or the Bruin.
(10:05):
And sadly, well it's not completelysad news, but mostly sad news.
Both of those theaters, the WestwoodVillage and Bruin, are closing this
week. The somewhat good news isthe Village Theater is expected to only close
temporarily and it's undergoing renovations, butthere is no date on when it would
(10:26):
be reopened. The fate of thenearby Bruin, which opened in nineteen thirty
seven, remains unclear. It wasnot purchased along with the Village Theater.
I just remember going to the VillageTheater, I said this before the break,
to see The Phantom Minace Star WarsThe Phantom Menace opening night. And
that was nineteen ninety nine, sowe're talking twenty five years ago, almost
(10:48):
to the day. I think itcame out in May, and it was
the only time I was so dumbto stand in line for a movie,
any movie outside hours upon hours inadvance, and I did it. And
if you're not old enough to remember, lindsay, you probably weren't born then.
(11:09):
I was. I was born inMay ninety Okay, okay, all
right, so you might have beena in a I don't know, a
newborn ward somewhere. Yeah, butback then, that was the first Star
Wars movie since Return of the Jedisixteen years prior to it in nineteen eighty
three. It was a big,big, big deal Star Wars coming back
(11:33):
out in theaters. It was thefirst of the prequels. I was a
kid who first went to see StarWars in nineteen seventy seven. I think
it was the second week was out. I saw it with my father and
my mother's father, my maternal grandfather. I'll never forget. It sought in
Century City as a matter of fact, so there was. Star Wars has
always been connected to me, mylife, my family. I've seen every
(11:54):
Star Wars movie so far. Idon't know about any future ones, but
Star Wars has always been Really thepoint is when I went to the Village
theater to see The Phantom Menace,I went by myself because no one wanted
to go with me to stand inline hold the spot. I think I
got in line sometime around like fouro'clock that afternoon for a midnight show,
(12:16):
and it wasn't like food was everywhere. You just kind of stood in line
and dealt with it. Saw themovie. You are one hundred percent right
to be bitter all this time laterbecause I was so disappointed. I remember
going because I not only wasted myday leading up to it, I wasted
my night going to sleep and Iwent to work on no sleep. I
(12:41):
remember I went home, I gotbreakfast and it was in Westwood, and
then I drove to Burbank, notright around the corner from where we are
right now, where Warner Brothers Recordsused to be, and went to work
until I don't know, maybe fiveor six o'clock that day. I remember
I slept in my car at lunch. It I was so mad. It's
not that I hated the movie.It wasn't worth the sacrifice. I mean
(13:03):
in your defense, and I reallyhate coming to your defense in your defense.
A lot of people camped out forliterally eight weeks, no weeks weeks,
And I covered this when I wasworking in Seattle. People would bring
tents and they had all sorts ofelaborate food delivery setups in place. Nobody
was using the stuff that we usenow, so you weren't the only one
who did this. But I can'tthink of a less deserving movie to sacrifice
(13:26):
like that for. Can you look? It was one of those never again
moments. I will never there's nomovie worth that, Especially working in entertainment.
I will call a friend it's like, hey, can I come to
a screening a something, a previousworld premiere. I'm not doing it.
I refuse, especially not at thisage. But that's my memory of the
Westwood Village. I know, twelveyou probably saw some movies. I saw
(13:48):
a bunch of movies there. Youknow, Batman eighty nine, I believe,
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade Aliens. We used to go to Westwood.
That's where we went. We hungout all summer, me and my
crew, thinking that we were cool, trying to talk to Ucla girls.
That's what it was, all adamn right, and that theater was historic,
and man, I mean Theoging Riotall of that happened because of that
(14:13):
theater. But you know, Iwas hanging out in Ucla when they had
the USLA basketball team in ninety five, when they won the nc TUA Championship.
They had the right in Westwood.I was out there acting a full
yeah. Thank goodness. It wasno video one of those. I think
it's the bruin is featured in TarantinosOnce upon a Time in Hollywood, right,
I don't know. I'm not aTarantino fan, so well, I
(14:33):
think that's, if not his best, it's tied for his best. It's
a good movie, and it's abig long love letter to la In the
late sixties, it was absolute trash. Oh are you kidding me? Wow?
Wow, straight garbage because every thirtyminutes you think it's gonna go somewhere,
(14:54):
and then it just like stops.And then you get to the end.
And I mean, I get whathe was doing when it talked about
the the murder, but it waslike, it was like, you could
have done this in forty five minutes, and I bet three hours doing it.
Okay. I think it's important tobe delicate with people who obviously have
had head injuries. For he controlsthe rimshot. Be careful, No,
no, don't. I don't wantto come out swinging on this because it
(15:16):
sounds as if you have larger issuesthan just this one. Movie. But
I think if you love movies,this is an essential movie to see,
an essential piece of garbage. Giveyourself a shot. All right, Before

Last segment, we were talking aboutthe closure of the Village Theater in
(18:18):
Westwood, and I was relaying astory of how I was stupid enough to
stand in line for the least eighthours to see the premiere of Star Wars
The Phantom Menace, Episode one,the first of the prequels, and how
I was severely disappointed, how muchI sacrificed standing in that line, staying
up all night, not even goingto sleep, leaving the theater around four
(18:41):
in the morning or so, andthen going to work soon thereafter. I
guess I was not the most committedperson. Producer Lindsey Arabian relayed this story
during the break and Mark Roger,You're going to get a kick out of
this, unbeknownst to me because I'dmade the statement, Like I asked,
(19:03):
lindsay, when were you born andyou said ninety nine. I said,
oh, that was right around thetime in which the movie came out,
Lindsey, is it true then yourfather is a Star Wars geek. Absolutely,
Okay, go ahead and tell thestory. Okay. So it's May
nineteen ninety nine, and you know, my parents are young, and my
(19:23):
dad's like a super geek. Heloves like Star Wars Star Trek and he
was like to my mom and mymom's like nine months, nine months pregnant
at this time with you, yeah, with me, and I'm their first
child and only child. But yeah, he's like, uh, let's go
watch the movie. And she's likeokay, and they go watch it and
(19:45):
they're disappointed. But it was soloud that you know, my mom likes
to say that it's what put herin labor because like, ten days later
I was born. But your momis not a Star Wars fan. She
is, she likes Star Wars too. She's also a geek. But she
was like, come on, like, I'm nine months pregnant, Like what
are we doing and he basically madeyour mom go to the theater, dragged
her to the theater was at leasta decent hour showing you do a late
(20:08):
night one like I did. Ibelieve it was a Latelan late night one.
So yeah, and are they stillmarried? Can I ask you?
Yeah? Yeah, they are happily. Are you sure about that made a
nine month pregnant woman go to seeStar Wars A Phantom Menace, and then
(20:30):
he made her watch I guess StarTrek was also simultaneously doing stuff, and
they aired an episode I believe onMay twenty ninth, and they were watching
it and my mom was like,I think I'm in labor. And he's
like, well, can you wait? And she's like, no, I
can't. And I was early too, I was two weeks early. And
(20:52):
my dad calls my aunt from thehospital and he's like, oh, like
the baby's here, and she's like, what do you mean, like the
baby showers today? So they hadmy mom's baby shower without her. But
wait, you have a lot ofinformation there. First, they're watching an
episode, not even a movie,an episode of Star Trek, and your
mother interrupted your father to say,I think I'm in labor. As in,
(21:18):
let's go to the hospital and yourfather said, can you wait a
moment because you couldn't record things?That seems reasonable to me, you know
what, I get it, becauseyou know, I'm also a geek like
my dad. I get it.I get that reason they had a VHS
(21:40):
back then. Well, no,which which episode was it? Let's let's
I have no idea, because there'sa lot of original series episodes where you
would be within your rights to say, hey, can you just kind of
I don't know, squeeze or something. We got to ask the question is
it the original series? Was itlike Star Trek the Next Generation? I
think it was Next Generation? Oh, then go to the hospital right away,
(22:03):
right, That's what I'm saying.What are we talking about? I
don't know. He's a big StarTrek fan. Okay, we had to
get him on the line one ofthese days and take to the bottle.
That's like, what episode was it? And how in the hell did you
manage to stay married? Now?Did your mother cuss him out? Tell
the truth? I'm not sure.I think she was kind of like,
well, my mom's a very likefirm woman. She was like, no,
(22:23):
we're going like right now, andUh, okay, so she had
to twist his arm. Yeah,and he would not give up the TV
show because he wanted to see theend of what happened to Picard and maybe
you and counselor Troy, Well,he understood, but he was also like,
no, no, no, no, he did not understand if you
had to have a discussion with hiswife who was going into labor, about
(22:45):
whether there was time to see theend credits of Star Wars Star Trek the
Next Generation. And they managed tostay married. How long they've been married?
Oh, they've been married since nineteenninety two. Wow, good,
thirty two years. Yep was theiranniversary October second, the same as Michelle
and Brock. They got married onthe same day. Oh wow mm hmmm.
(23:10):
That that almost like brings a tearto my eye. I was hoping
that maybe like someone have to meet, made to sleep in the guest room
or something. There were no therewas no consequences to them. No.
I guess they were just meant foreach other, because I know if I
made my wife wait for anything soI could finish watching like a Marvel movie,
she would cuss me out in somethingawful and I would not be able
(23:36):
to come in room for like anight. No, they're they're good.
They're still good. See if youcan find out the episode. We got
to get to the bottom. Ican call him right now. Yeah,
please text them, call him becausewe need to find out before the show's
over. Okay, I got wegotta close this loop. Just one episode.
It's later with Mokeler. We'll checkin with George Norrie can if I
am six forty live everywhere in theiHeartRadio Apple can't im o Kelly Live everywhere
(24:07):
on the iHeartRadio app. Coming upat ten o'clock will be Coast to Coast
am with George Nori, who joinsme now on Aline. Good evening,
my friend, Hello, Mo.Were you looking for the Star Wars episode
on Phantom Menace? No, wehad the Star Wars movie The Phantom Menace,
and then there was a Star Trekepisode in which our producer there was
(24:29):
a fight between her parents as momwas going into labor and dad wanted to
see the end of the Star Trekepisode before he went to the hospital.
I would have seen that episode.Well, we found more information if you
got a quick second. Lindsey saysthat it was a deep space nine episode,
and that's not acceptable. It's justunacceptable. I would have wanted to
(24:53):
watch the family. That's even moreexciting. What's the episode tonight, George.
They're trying to do everything they canto keep us from driving our cars.
We'll talk about that and then lateron how a UFO changed a man's
life. Thank you. Anytime youhave UFO, you have me. You
got it. That's coming up lateron Coast to Coast am. Let me
(25:15):
go back to you, Lindsey,and I stole some of your thunder because
your dad during the break didn't wantto go on the air, but he
confirmed that it was a Star TrekDeep Space nine episode, and Deep Space
nine is not one of the belovedseries in the Star Trek universe. And
your mother didn't take particular umbrage oroffense at that. No we asked her,
(25:38):
she said, no whatever. Shewas fine to endure some extra labor
pains while dad saw the end ofhis marginal, mediocre TV show. I
don't think they made it to theend, but I think she was okay
with it for the second. Idon't know. Was he always this type
of Star Wars Star Trek nerd geek? So she knew what she was.
(26:00):
Absolutely, he's he introduced her tothat stuff. So and he's been a
fan of that forever, still isand is she Yeah, now she is.
They'll watch like a ton of likesci fi stuff together. Oh,
I guess they're a match bit inheaven. See. My wife is like,
ew, you know, I'll watchsomething else. You can go ahead
and watch that to all. Whenyou were married, was that a thing?
(26:23):
No, No, we would watchseparate stuff. Yeah. She watched
everything having to do with some wifewanted to get married and someone trying their
hard to get a hold of oneguy for a rose or something like that.
Me. I was watching Smallville andEverything Superhero Possible. My wife watches
Lifetime in Bravo that's it, That'sit, and Netflix, k Pop.
(26:45):
My parents will sit down almost everynight after work and they'll watch something sci
fi or like and Cia or Idon't know. That is beautiful, beautiful.
You are the long suffering one.Do you have a similar liking of
television movies? Not really. I'mstill trying to live down making or watch
John Wick. She's never forgiven mefor that, really traumatized. It didn't
(27:07):
over well, No, no,I didn't. I got her to start
watching Hell on Wheels. Do youknow what that is? Familiar with?
It? It's a western that takesplace after the Civil War on a dirty,
nasty, filthy railroad crew. We'reinto the third season event. I'm
just crossing my fingers. It's likethe only thing we've agreed on in a
really long time. Yeah, they'reviewing very few things. My wife and
(27:29):
I our first date, we wentto see the Book of Eli. But
outside of that, Yeah, thatwas our first date and we were talking
about the other day. But asfar as movies, we don't. Our
likes and dislock likes don't really cross. Now. She likes Marvel movies,
but she doesn't need to see themlike I need to see them. I
need to see them immediately. She'llsee them a year, a year and
(27:52):
a half later. Yeah, thissignifies that she's a normal adult and we're
all severely damaged. That's probably true. But you know, I need her
to catch up. If this relationshipis gonna work, I need her to
get on board. Oh you justgot to let that stuff go. Are
you kidding me? I watched halfof Avengers Endgame last week just for some
(28:15):
comfort viewing. I don't even haveany idea how many times I've seen it
right. And I was explaining thisto the long suffering when the next day,
when we were like the history comesup on your what is it your?
It was actually on YouTube. Somebodyposted a pirated copy on YouTube.
Just the concept of watching an Avengersmovie as comfort viewing was almost impossible to
(28:36):
convey to the long suffering one.It's one of those movies. Whenever it
comes on and I'm talking about InfinityWar or Endgame. If it comes on,
it doesn't matter where it is ina movie, I'm going to watch
it every single time. It's sowell done. Those movies are wonderful.
And my wife looks at me,it's like, what is your problem?
What is your problem? The samefor when they want to sit and watch
(28:57):
Beaches or or something like that,I think, what is your problem?
No, but it's weird because mywife will watch Lifetime. It's like every
single movie is the same damn plot. There is some crazy boyfriend who's trying
to kill her, the wife wherethere's some sort of secret romance where the
wife is cheating on the husband andthe affair. Boyfriend goes crazy and he's
(29:21):
going to try to kill the husband. It's the same movie over and over
again. That's like I asked,like, how is that any different from
me watching Adventures Infinity War over andover? It's the same movie over and
over again. She said, Wow, it's different. No, it isn't
you know what's gonna happen. Iknow what's gonna happen. You just have
to embrace those differences. You're nevergoing to get them to like what you
(29:44):
like and vice versa. It's justnot gonna happen. Mark, so says
the unmarried man. Wait, waittill you come to our side of the
fence. Woo. Then you haveto decide because even though our house is
big enough, my wife likes tosit downstairs and you see my house swall
big TV. She'll turn it onand turn it up loud. So I
(30:08):
need to go in my office andclose the door. So this is to
a certain dominance, Yes, yes, yes, okay. And then if
I close the door, she said, Oh, so you're big anti social?
What am I supposed to do?Watch my TV with the door open
and I can't even hear my ownTV and then the fight starts. No,
that's how it works. I startedwatching a nineteen sixty nine Cassavetti's movie
(30:32):
called Machine Gun McCaine on Saturday.The credits weren't even over before I was
the only one left in the room. I tell you that's how it works,
Lincy. Don't ever get married.If you do, make sure your
husband is a nerd like you.Oh he is, Oh he is.
Yeah, my boyfriend's a nerd likeme. Okay, all right, after
you start whatever you do, youknow, I'm for this. Take each
(30:55):
other out of circulation right away.We'll see the ball coming up next to
Coast Coast AM with George Nora.And remember we have those Barbie the Movie
in concert tickets at the Hollywood Bowltomorrow night. Do not miss it.
KFI AM six forty We're live everywhereon the iHeartRadio app. Well, at
least you've decided to listen to KFI. See you're making progress. K F.
(31:19):
I'm KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County, Live everywhere on
the Art Radio app.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty and
I would say a pleasant surprise tothe box office and movie theaters nationwide Twisters.
I gave a review. I likedit, didn't love it, wasn't
wowed by it. I was farmore partial to the original Twister with Helen
(00:23):
Hunt and Bill Paxton. This wasa fine movie, but it was supposed
to be a sequel of sorts tothat movie, and it's not. There's
no connective tissue. There are easteras. If you're really paying attention,
you'll see, oh, that's justlike that, or that's a throwback to
that, but there's no connection instoryline, so I can't call it a
sequel. But it happens in thesame universe in the way that you know,
(00:48):
Mark and I work at the sameradio station, but you know,
we don't have a whole lot ofconnection. I don't even like the guy,
nothing else in common with nothing butTwisters came in at number one with
eighty one million dollars tomestically one hundredand twenty four million worldwide, and against
a two hundred million dollar budget.It needed to have a great first week
(01:08):
and it did that. Of course, you have to look at the second
week drop off to see if there'sa negative or positive word of mouth which
is driving it into its second week. But from what I hear, it's
receiving pretty decent word of mouth.I wasn't wowed by it, but I
don't need to rain down on it. I don't need to talk bad about
it. Despicable me. Even thoughTawalla hated it, it's still hanging in
(01:30):
there and it's third week. Camein at number two with a very healthy
twenty four point four million, andit passed the half billion dollar mark.
Has five hundred and seventy seven milliondollars worldwide. It's not bad for the
fourth movie in a franchise. Yeah, well, you know people wanted to
get out the sign. Yeah wellno, I'm sure that's part of it.
(01:51):
And it's not a lot of competition, But it's about what you do
when you don't have that competition.Inside Out two is the hit of the
year. Came in at number threewith another twelve point eight million domestically.
It has a worldwide total of onepoint four four five billion dollars. I
(02:12):
don't think it's going to reach twobillion, but it should reach one point
six, maybe one point seven.It'd be the biggest animated release today ever.
Yeah. Coming in at number fourMark long Legs. Yeah, that's
really exceeded expectation. So as faras I know, it's got a worldwide
gross of around forty seven million.Yeah, on a budget of under ten
and that that is a big hitfor a horror film. That's a huge
(02:35):
multiplier. And it's not done.It is still going strong. It brought
in another eleven point nine million inits second week. Coming at number five.
Is a quiet place. Day Onestill hanging around. Didn't do bad.
It's at two hundred and forty onemillion, but it's still behind its
prequels. I guess you can callthem prequels, the movies which preceded it
(02:57):
coming in at number five, andthis is something we kind of touched upon.
I want to talk about it more. I haven't seen it yet.
Fly Me to the Moon it camein at six and it brought in three
point three million, for a grandtotal of thirty million so far. I
really didn't care to see this moviebecause as far as I'm concerned, it's
(03:19):
a capricorn one with a little bitmore humor as far as I'm concerned.
It talks about possibly faking a moonlanding for I don't know whatever purposes,
and all the technology they do touse to fool the public. It's an
apt conversation given the conspiratorial nature ofpeople today in society. But it's been
(03:43):
done, and I don't think youcan improve upon Capricorn ones. Absolutely not.
Capricorn one is a perfect movie,thank you. We agree on that
one. Yeah, one thing.Yeah, And I wish Capricorn one was
made exact same way in twenty twentyfour. He had the special effects and
could have done just a little bitmore with the production, just a little
(04:04):
bit more. There's a story's perfect. Yeah, there's no way you can
improve on Telly Savalis yelling get yourbee pad down in the plane. Look,
wasn't oj That was his best performanceoutside of when he was on trial.
Well that it's a tough call.Come on, Stephan, I worked
all night for that one, Thankyou very much. Then you've got Sam
(04:26):
Waterston in that movie telling the VeryYoung One the longest joke of all time.
Yes, Sam Waterston obviously of Lawand Order fame. Coming at number
seven was Bad Boys Ride or Die, another movie which has pleasantly surprised and
overperformed, arguably has a worldwide grossof three hundred and eighty eight million.
If I'm not mistaken, it mightbe the highest grossing one except for the
(04:49):
first one. Right now, isgetting there? Yeah? Yeah, you
don't expect that. Usually you expectattrition when you get to the third or
fourth movie. Talking about like DespicableMe, you usually don't have a surgeons
in the franchise. Like they're doinganother min in black movie. Why yeah,
why? Who wants to see that? No one turned out to see
the last one, which had herand him Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson,
(05:13):
her and him trash. It wasbad, so you actually saw it?
No, I did see it.I really did. It was not one
funny redemptive moment in the movie.And I like both of them as actors
individually and other stuff they've done together. Glad I went with my gut on
that one. Oh no, no, no, you missed absolutely nothing.
I would not in good conscience recommendthat to anyone. Coming in at number
(05:35):
eight is bad news. N Ew Z. I have no idea what
that is, but it brought himlike a million dollars a crazy laugh riot,
which will show the outcomes of twosophisticated Poonjabi men and a Punjabi girl.
One of the men has a onenight stand with the girl and somehow
craziness happens when she is pregnant unexpectedly. It doesn't sound funny. That does
(05:56):
sound funny. That sounds like life, sounds like I was like, yeah,
some drinks, yeah, little,It sounds like any college campus.
I'm not paying to watch that.There are a lot of people I know
who lived that. I don't getit. Whatever, but it brought it
in a million dollars. Uh,Maxine triple X mark you talked about that.
Yeah, yeah, that's the thirdof a trilogy. And I actually
(06:18):
haven't seen Maxine yet, but i'veseen the first two. Their their quality,
they're decent. They're not life changing. It's not a classic, but
very very well worth seeing. Well. I'm sure its budget was not more
than the seventeen point eight million thatit's brought in so far, so it's
probably making money. Oh, no, big hit on that front. As
always, horror films don't cost muchto make their critic proof, and they
(06:41):
always bring in a lot now movieI am very disappointed in. I haven't
seen it yet, and I stilldo plan to see it because I'm a
Tom Hardy fan. He's one ofthose actors I just like watching on the
screen the Bike Riders. Oh yeah, you should see that. It's really
not bad at all. Okay,it's gross worldwide thirty four millions so far,
and I'm getting the feeling and thisis not well. I guess it's
(07:06):
kind of critical of Tom Hardy.He's not a bona fide star. He
works well in an ensemble cast.Well, he's more of an actor than
a star. I'll give you that. Yeah, he's glamorous. Yeah he
doesn't well. But but the moviesthat he has had the starring role and
he has not had great success in. I think that's on vide on demand
(07:27):
now, well there we gorime.Oh yeah, I wouldn't doubt that.
And he kind of he does somesort of a Warner Brothers thing to his
voice in this one. I meanwhatever, the opposite of a leading man
is he? That's what he appearsto be going for. But I like
Tom Hardy on screen. I likeif he's in the movie, I'm interested.
Oh yeah, it just hasn't translatedbig picture, no pun intended to
(07:51):
his vehicles, which he's a star. I'm also disappointed, like you probably
are, that he didn't really takethe Mad Max thing and run with it.
No, Well was it offered tohim. We don't even know that,
right, because I know Furiosa underperformedand maybe they didn't see him as
being able to Look, they dida Furiosa film before they did another Mad
(08:11):
Max film, So what does thattell you? Yeah, he was kind
of on the verge of a fewreally big things, Like there was talk
of him becoming bond at one pointtoo. Yeah. You know what happens
you do venom and then people startdoubting you. That's what happened. Well,
the indefensible. But here's the thing, financially, that's probably the biggest
thing that he's done, the firstVenom. Yeah, those things all made
money to our eternal shame as acivilization, you know. And it goes
(08:35):
back to that first that Star Trekmovie he was in, Oh, Nemesis
Nemesis. Yeah, yeah, whenhe was a young actor. I don't
think most people even realized that washim until it was pointed out later on,
because he was so gaunt to them, but he's like a child actor
his size. He's just so tinywell, and he's hard to recognize bald
too. You can tell by thatgrill though, is right? Those teeth
(08:58):
have not changed. Okay, allright, sorry Tom if you're listening,
but it's true you and all that, buddy, you still haven't gotten your
teeth. Are they some British teeth? Is that what you're saying at the
bottom row? Definitely, they're veryBritish. Thanks for the clarification. It's
later with Moe Kelly when we comeback on the other side. The beloved
historic movie theaters Westwood Village and Bruin. I know that I've been there.
(09:22):
I remember when I went there tosee The Phantom Menace opening night and I
waited in line for like a oneam showing, the only time in life
that I waited out in line fora Star Wars movie. It didn't get
out to almost four in the morning, and I went straight to work at
Warner Brothers Records at eight. Itwas the worst decision of my life.
(09:43):
But we mentioned that because the WestwoodVillage and Bruin closing this week. Damn,
that's next. You're listening to laterwith Moe Kelly on demand from KFI
AM six forty. And if you'veever seen a movie in Westwood, there's
a pretty good chance you've seen oneeither at the Westwood Village or the Bruin.
(10:05):
And sadly, well it's not completelysad news, but mostly sad news.
Both of those theaters, the WestwoodVillage and Bruin, are closing this
week. The somewhat good news isthe Village Theater is expected to only close
temporarily and it's undergoing renovations, butthere is no date on when it would
(10:26):
be reopened. The fate of thenearby Bruin, which opened in nineteen thirty
seven, remains unclear. It wasnot purchased along with the Village Theater.
I just remember going to the VillageTheater, I said this before the break,
to see The Phantom Minace Star WarsThe Phantom Menace opening night. And
that was nineteen ninety nine, sowe're talking twenty five years ago, almost
(10:48):
to the day. I think itcame out in May, and it was
the only time I was so dumbto stand in line for a movie,
any movie outside hours upon hours inadvance, and I did it. And
if you're not old enough to remember, lindsay, you probably weren't born then.
(11:09):
I was. I was born inMay ninety Okay, okay, all
right, so you might have beena in a I don't know, a
newborn ward somewhere. Yeah, butback then, that was the first Star
Wars movie since Return of the Jedisixteen years prior to it in nineteen eighty
three. It was a big,big, big deal Star Wars coming back
(11:33):
out in theaters. It was thefirst of the prequels. I was a
kid who first went to see StarWars in nineteen seventy seven. I think
it was the second week was out. I saw it with my father and
my mother's father, my maternal grandfather. I'll never forget. It sought in
Century City as a matter of fact, so there was. Star Wars has
always been connected to me, mylife, my family. I've seen every
(11:54):
Star Wars movie so far. Idon't know about any future ones, but
Star Wars has always been Really thepoint is when I went to the Village
theater to see The Phantom Menace,I went by myself because no one wanted
to go with me to stand inline hold the spot. I think I
got in line sometime around like fouro'clock that afternoon for a midnight show,
(12:16):
and it wasn't like food was everywhere. You just kind of stood in line
and dealt with it. Saw themovie. You are one hundred percent right
to be bitter all this time laterbecause I was so disappointed. I remember
going because I not only wasted myday leading up to it, I wasted
my night going to sleep and Iwent to work on no sleep. I
(12:41):
remember I went home, I gotbreakfast and it was in Westwood, and
then I drove to Burbank, notright around the corner from where we are
right now, where Warner Brothers Recordsused to be, and went to work
until I don't know, maybe fiveor six o'clock that day. I remember
I slept in my car at lunch. It I was so mad. It's
not that I hated the movie.It wasn't worth the sacrifice. I mean
(13:03):
in your defense, and I reallyhate coming to your defense in your defense.
A lot of people camped out forliterally eight weeks, no weeks weeks,
And I covered this when I wasworking in Seattle. People would bring
tents and they had all sorts ofelaborate food delivery setups in place. Nobody
was using the stuff that we usenow, so you weren't the only one
who did this. But I can'tthink of a less deserving movie to sacrifice
(13:26):
like that for. Can you look? It was one of those never again
moments. I will never there's nomovie worth that, Especially working in entertainment.
I will call a friend it's like, hey, can I come to
a screening a something, a previousworld premiere. I'm not doing it.
I refuse, especially not at thisage. But that's my memory of the
Westwood Village. I know, twelveyou probably saw some movies. I saw
(13:48):
a bunch of movies there. Youknow, Batman eighty nine, I believe,
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade Aliens. We used to go to Westwood.
That's where we went. We hungout all summer, me and my
crew, thinking that we were cool, trying to talk to Ucla girls.
That's what it was, all adamn right, and that theater was historic,
and man, I mean Theoging Riotall of that happened because of that
(14:13):
theater. But you know, Iwas hanging out in Ucla when they had
the USLA basketball team in ninety five, when they won the nc TUA Championship.
They had the right in Westwood.I was out there acting a full
yeah. Thank goodness. It wasno video one of those. I think
it's the bruin is featured in TarantinosOnce upon a Time in Hollywood, right,
I don't know. I'm not aTarantino fan, so well, I
(14:33):
think that's, if not his best, it's tied for his best. It's
a good movie, and it's abig long love letter to la In the
late sixties, it was absolute trash. Oh are you kidding me? Wow?
Wow, straight garbage because every thirtyminutes you think it's gonna go somewhere,
(14:54):
and then it just like stops.And then you get to the end.
And I mean, I get whathe was doing when it talked about
the the murder, but it waslike, it was like, you could
have done this in forty five minutes, and I bet three hours doing it.
Okay. I think it's important tobe delicate with people who obviously have
had head injuries. For he controlsthe rimshot. Be careful, No,
no, don't. I don't wantto come out swinging on this because it
(15:16):
sounds as if you have larger issuesthan just this one. Movie. But
I think if you love movies,this is an essential movie to see,
an essential piece of garbage. Giveyourself a shot. All right, Before

KFI Ams with moo Kelly six LiveEverywhere on the iHeartRadio app mo Kelly Here.
Last segment, we were talking aboutthe closure of the Village Theater in
(18:18):
Westwood, and I was relaying astory of how I was stupid enough to
stand in line for the least eighthours to see the premiere of Star Wars
The Phantom Menace, Episode one,the first of the prequels, and how
I was severely disappointed, how muchI sacrificed standing in that line, staying
up all night, not even goingto sleep, leaving the theater around four
(18:41):
in the morning or so, andthen going to work soon thereafter. I
guess I was not the most committedperson. Producer Lindsey Arabian relayed this story
during the break and Mark Roger,You're going to get a kick out of
this, unbeknownst to me because I'dmade the statement, Like I asked,
(19:03):
lindsay, when were you born andyou said ninety nine. I said,
oh, that was right around thetime in which the movie came out,
Lindsey, is it true then yourfather is a Star Wars geek. Absolutely,
Okay, go ahead and tell thestory. Okay. So it's May
nineteen ninety nine, and you know, my parents are young, and my
(19:23):
dad's like a super geek. Heloves like Star Wars Star Trek and he
was like to my mom and mymom's like nine months, nine months pregnant
at this time with you, yeah, with me, and I'm their first
child and only child. But yeah, he's like, uh, let's go
watch the movie. And she's likeokay, and they go watch it and
(19:45):
they're disappointed. But it was soloud that you know, my mom likes
to say that it's what put herin labor because like, ten days later
I was born. But your momis not a Star Wars fan. She
is, she likes Star Wars too. She's also a geek. But she
was like, come on, like, I'm nine months pregnant, Like what
are we doing and he basically madeyour mom go to the theater, dragged
her to the theater was at leasta decent hour showing you do a late
(20:08):
night one like I did. Ibelieve it was a Latelan late night one.
So yeah, and are they stillmarried? Can I ask you?
Yeah? Yeah, they are happily. Are you sure about that made a
nine month pregnant woman go to seeStar Wars A Phantom Menace, and then
(20:30):
he made her watch I guess StarTrek was also simultaneously doing stuff, and
they aired an episode I believe onMay twenty ninth, and they were watching
it and my mom was like,I think I'm in labor. And he's
like, well, can you wait? And she's like, no, I
can't. And I was early too, I was two weeks early. And
(20:52):
my dad calls my aunt from thehospital and he's like, oh, like
the baby's here, and she's like, what do you mean, like the
baby showers today? So they hadmy mom's baby shower without her. But
wait, you have a lot ofinformation there. First, they're watching an
episode, not even a movie,an episode of Star Trek, and your
mother interrupted your father to say,I think I'm in labor. As in,
(21:18):
let's go to the hospital and yourfather said, can you wait a
moment because you couldn't record things?That seems reasonable to me, you know
what, I get it, becauseyou know, I'm also a geek like
my dad. I get it.I get that reason they had a VHS
(21:40):
back then. Well, no,which which episode was it? Let's let's
I have no idea, because there'sa lot of original series episodes where you
would be within your rights to say, hey, can you just kind of
I don't know, squeeze or something. We got to ask the question is
it the original series? Was itlike Star Trek the Next Generation? I
think it was Next Generation? Oh, then go to the hospital right away,
(22:03):
right, That's what I'm saying.What are we talking about? I
don't know. He's a big StarTrek fan. Okay, we had to
get him on the line one ofthese days and take to the bottle.
That's like, what episode was it? And how in the hell did you
manage to stay married? Now?Did your mother cuss him out? Tell
the truth? I'm not sure.I think she was kind of like,
well, my mom's a very likefirm woman. She was like, no,
(22:23):
we're going like right now, andUh, okay, so she had
to twist his arm. Yeah,and he would not give up the TV
show because he wanted to see theend of what happened to Picard and maybe
you and counselor Troy, Well,he understood, but he was also like,
no, no, no, no, he did not understand if you
had to have a discussion with hiswife who was going into labor, about
(22:45):
whether there was time to see theend credits of Star Wars Star Trek the
Next Generation. And they managed tostay married. How long they've been married?
Oh, they've been married since nineteenninety two. Wow, good,
thirty two years. Yep was theiranniversary October second, the same as Michelle
and Brock. They got married onthe same day. Oh wow mm hmmm.
(23:10):
That that almost like brings a tearto my eye. I was hoping
that maybe like someone have to meet, made to sleep in the guest room
or something. There were no therewas no consequences to them. No.
I guess they were just meant foreach other, because I know if I
made my wife wait for anything soI could finish watching like a Marvel movie,
she would cuss me out in somethingawful and I would not be able
(23:36):
to come in room for like anight. No, they're they're good.
They're still good. See if youcan find out the episode. We got
to get to the bottom. Ican call him right now. Yeah,
please text them, call him becausewe need to find out before the show's
over. Okay, I got wegotta close this loop. Just one episode.
It's later with Mokeler. We'll checkin with George Norrie can if I
am six forty live everywhere in theiHeartRadio Apple can't im o Kelly Live everywhere

my friend, Hello, Mo.Were you looking for the Star Wars episode
on Phantom Menace? No, wehad the Star Wars movie The Phantom Menace,
and then there was a Star Trekepisode in which our producer there was
(24:29):
a fight between her parents as momwas going into labor and dad wanted to
see the end of the Star Trekepisode before he went to the hospital.
I would have seen that episode.Well, we found more information if you
got a quick second. Lindsey saysthat it was a deep space nine episode,
and that's not acceptable. It's justunacceptable. I would have wanted to
(24:53):
watch the family. That's even moreexciting. What's the episode tonight, George.
They're trying to do everything they canto keep us from driving our cars.
We'll talk about that and then lateron how a UFO changed a man's
life. Thank you. Anytime youhave UFO, you have me. You
got it. That's coming up lateron Coast to Coast am. Let me
(25:15):

your dad during the break didn't wantto go on the air, but he
confirmed that it was a Star TrekDeep Space nine episode, and Deep Space
nine is not one of the belovedseries in the Star Trek universe. And
your mother didn't take particular umbrage oroffense at that. No we asked her,
(25:38):
she said, no whatever. Shewas fine to endure some extra labor
pains while dad saw the end ofhis marginal, mediocre TV show. I
don't think they made it to theend, but I think she was okay
with it for the second. Idon't know. Was he always this type
of Star Wars Star Trek nerd geek? So she knew what she was.
(26:00):
Absolutely, he's he introduced her tothat stuff. So and he's been a
fan of that forever, still isand is she Yeah, now she is.
They'll watch like a ton of likesci fi stuff together. Oh,
I guess they're a match bit inheaven. See. My wife is like,
ew, you know, I'll watchsomething else. You can go ahead
and watch that to all. Whenyou were married, was that a thing?
(26:23):
No, No, we would watchseparate stuff. Yeah. She watched
everything having to do with some wifewanted to get married and someone trying their
hard to get a hold of oneguy for a rose or something like that.
Me. I was watching Smallville andEverything Superhero Possible. My wife watches
Lifetime in Bravo that's it, That'sit, and Netflix, k Pop.
(26:45):
My parents will sit down almost everynight after work and they'll watch something sci
fi or like and Cia or Idon't know. That is beautiful, beautiful.
You are the long suffering one.Do you have a similar liking of
television movies? Not really. I'mstill trying to live down making or watch
John Wick. She's never forgiven mefor that, really traumatized. It didn't
(27:07):
over well, No, no,I didn't. I got her to start
watching Hell on Wheels. Do youknow what that is? Familiar with?
It? It's a western that takesplace after the Civil War on a dirty,
nasty, filthy railroad crew. We'reinto the third season event. I'm
just crossing my fingers. It's likethe only thing we've agreed on in a
really long time. Yeah, they'reviewing very few things. My wife and
(27:29):
I our first date, we wentto see the Book of Eli. But
outside of that, Yeah, thatwas our first date and we were talking
about the other day. But asfar as movies, we don't. Our
likes and dislock likes don't really cross. Now. She likes Marvel movies,
but she doesn't need to see themlike I need to see them. I
need to see them immediately. She'llsee them a year, a year and
(27:52):
a half later. Yeah, thissignifies that she's a normal adult and we're
all severely damaged. That's probably true. But you know, I need her
to catch up. If this relationshipis gonna work, I need her to
get on board. Oh you justgot to let that stuff go. Are
you kidding me? I watched halfof Avengers Endgame last week just for some
(28:15):
comfort viewing. I don't even haveany idea how many times I've seen it
right. And I was explaining thisto the long suffering when the next day,
when we were like the history comesup on your what is it your?
It was actually on YouTube. Somebodyposted a pirated copy on YouTube.
Just the concept of watching an Avengersmovie as comfort viewing was almost impossible to
(28:36):
convey to the long suffering one.It's one of those movies. Whenever it
comes on and I'm talking about InfinityWar or Endgame. If it comes on,
it doesn't matter where it is ina movie, I'm going to watch
it every single time. It's sowell done. Those movies are wonderful.
And my wife looks at me,it's like, what is your problem?
What is your problem? The samefor when they want to sit and watch
(28:57):
Beaches or or something like that,I think, what is your problem?
No, but it's weird because mywife will watch Lifetime. It's like every
single movie is the same damn plot. There is some crazy boyfriend who's trying
to kill her, the wife wherethere's some sort of secret romance where the
wife is cheating on the husband andthe affair. Boyfriend goes crazy and he's
(29:21):
going to try to kill the husband. It's the same movie over and over
again. That's like I asked,like, how is that any different from
me watching Adventures Infinity War over andover? It's the same movie over and
over again. She said, Wow, it's different. No, it isn't
you know what's gonna happen. Iknow what's gonna happen. You just have
to embrace those differences. You're nevergoing to get them to like what you
(29:44):
like and vice versa. It's justnot gonna happen. Mark, so says
the unmarried man. Wait, waittill you come to our side of the
fence. Woo. Then you haveto decide because even though our house is
big enough, my wife likes tosit downstairs and you see my house swall
big TV. She'll turn it onand turn it up loud. So I
(30:08):
need to go in my office andclose the door. So this is to
a certain dominance, Yes, yes, yes, okay. And then if
I close the door, she said, Oh, so you're big anti social?
What am I supposed to do?Watch my TV with the door open
and I can't even hear my ownTV and then the fight starts. No,
that's how it works. I startedwatching a nineteen sixty nine Cassavetti's movie
(30:32):
called Machine Gun McCaine on Saturday.The credits weren't even over before I was
the only one left in the room. I tell you that's how it works,
Lincy. Don't ever get married.If you do, make sure your
husband is a nerd like you.Oh he is, Oh he is.
Yeah, my boyfriend's a nerd likeme. Okay, all right, after
you start whatever you do, youknow, I'm for this. Take each
(30:55):
other out of circulation right away.We'll see the ball coming up next to
