Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And on the strength of Mark Ronner's runner report, the
movie Smile Too came in at number one this week
with a very healthy twenty three million dollars domestically and
another twenty three million internationally for a worldwide take of
(00:28):
forty six million dollars. And if you're wondering, well, how
good is that, Well, the budget for Smile Too was
only twenty eight million, so it's already made plenty money.
Of course, we talk about how the genre, you know,
it doesn't take a lot of money to produce the movies,
but still when you're talking about multipliers over the life
(00:50):
of its time in the theater, Look, if it brought
in forty six million its first week, it's going to
do probably multiplier of at least three or four times
its budget.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I think we're going in a Smile three whether we
want one or not. But this one was good. I'll
take your word for it. It's a very simple concept.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You explained it, and it's probably not the best horror
movie ever, but it's good enough and people seem to
like it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I think what I said Friday was that I'm
not going to need the Criterion edition of it to
keep in perpetuity, but it was an enjoyable watch. It
was well worth the trip to the theater.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Number two, The Wild Robot is still doing well. In
its fourth week, it brought in another ten million domestically,
it has a worldwide take of one hundred and ninety
seven million. I don't think anyone foresaw that The Wild
Robot would be doing as well for as long as
it has. It's in its fourth week. Number three Terrifier three,
another horror movie, brought it nine million for a total
(01:51):
of forty one million, and Terrifyer three's budget, let's look
that up real quick. Three budget two million dollars. Yeah,
it's kind of low rent.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I'm really surprised that it's doing so well in mainstream
theaters and didn't go straight to the streaming or something
like that, because having only seen the first one but
read about the other two, they're pretty nasty, I mean,
and the gore in the first one is right up there.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
There are very few investments where you could put in
two million and get back forty one very few.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, horror films are always a good bet when when
you and I get a couple of million dollars ahead
from our work here we're making a horror film.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh you damn right. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice came in at number four.
It brought in well, it came in at number four.
It brought in five million dollars. And I don't think
anyone foresaw the how well that movie was going to
do for such a sequel, which a long time in
between its original movie and the sequel.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's now at four hundred and thirty four million.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I don't think anyone even connected to the project thought
that this would be close to a half a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, it seems to me like it's kind of comfort viewing,
and that's a gauge of where we're at right now.
People just need something that doesn't move the needle a
whole bunch.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
And it's pretty well balanced.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I mean, two hundred and eighty three million domestically and
another like one hundred and seventy million internationally. It's a
well balanced movie in that regard. Number five is We
Live in Time. It is not in wide release, but
it's per theater average was second this week at four
two hundred and forty nine dollars per screen and made
(03:31):
by A twenty four the same movie studio which did
Civil War.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Its total is four million.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
This was this debut week and it only has like
maybe nine hundred and eighty theaters in which it's in. Quote,
an up and coming chef and a recent divorcee find
their lives forever change when a chance encounter brings them
together in a decade spanning, deeply moving romance. It's not
a movie that appeals to me in any way. I'm
not into the romance movies. I'm just not. But somebody
(04:00):
likes it and it seems like it's picking up steam
because they it was only in a nine hundred and
eighty theaters and they'll probably expand over the next two weeks.
Number six is say it for me, Mark Joker? Oh yeah,
fully adduce fully adduce Yeah. It grows one hundred and
(04:21):
ninety two million worldwide. I think it needs to make
four hundred million to make back its budget plus marketing
and promotion, even though the listed budget is two hundred million.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I have no idea why, but.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's I'm surprised it's still in the top ten given
how poorly it was reviewed by both critics and audiences.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Not many people like it, but the few who do
seem to think it's a work of genius. And I
just cannot fathom that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And here's the movie which is not well balanced.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's fifty six million domestically but one hundred and thirty
five internationally. They're seeing something, they're appreciating something that you
office audiences simply are not.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Coming at.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Number seven was Piece by Piece. I have no idea
what this movie is. This is second week Piece by
Piece a vibe. Oh, that's the Pharrell Williams movie about
his life through the lens of lego animation. And it
has a total groups of seven million. I have no
idea what the budget is. And surprisingly, number eight, even
(05:25):
though Tuala hated it, is still Transformers one and it's
fifth week. It brought in one point nine million this
week for total of one hundred and nineteen million. The
animated features are doing pretty well all things considered. Even
still Saturday Night, which you reviewed Mark is number nine.
(05:46):
This week brought in one point seven million. Yeah, it
had kind of a weird release schedule. It was out
in like two places here. Then it was everywhere a
little while later. I don't know what their plan was
with that, but it's worth seeing. It's just it seems
scattershot as far as how it's being rolled out. It
added only twenty seven theaters this week. It's not I
(06:06):
guess you could say it's wide release, but it's only
twenty three hundred theaters.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Think of it this way.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
For a big time movie, it's usually in forty three
hundred theaters or more.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I will bet you right now that Matthew Rees gets
some sort of nomination for his portrayal of George Carlin.
He's terrific in it.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I still got to check that out and believe it
or not. The Nightmare before Christmas. The twenty twenty four
re release brought in one point two million to come in
at number ten, and total gross is four point nine
million just for the re release. It's free money. It's
not anything they had to do. I don't think they
even advertised. They just put it out and got free
(06:45):
five million passive income for Tim Burton. Absolutely, and that
was out. Let me see two weeks, has been out
two weeks now with the re release, free money.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Next month they're going to do a re release of
God'szilla minus one with thirteen minutes of additional footage.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That'll get me back in theaters. Yeah, because it earned
my time. I was riveted. I remember I was texting
Marking till I was like, my gosh, Mark, you were right.
Well you got to see that.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It was great. Yeah, it was great. Might have another
guy trip in our future? Yeah, oh absolutely, I'm down
with that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's Later with Mo Kelly kiff I AM six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and you're
the best around. The Karate Kid Legends movie, which is
coming out next year, there is a portion of a
trailer which was shown over the weekend at New York
Comic Con, and we're getting bits and pieces of that
(07:45):
and we're getting more insight as far as what the
movie's about, who's in it, and who might be in it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We told you about the upcoming Karate Kid movie, which
is going to be titled Karate Kid Legends. Well, there
is some trailer footage which was screened at New York
Comic Con over the weekend and we're getting bits and
pieces about what the storyline is going to be about
and some of the actors who will be involved in it.
(08:20):
Of course, we know that Jackie Chan will be in it.
We know that Ralph Macho will be in it, and
they will be working together as sense and Seafu, blending
karate and kung fu. In this movie, it's explicit both
martial arts will be featured and they will see the franchise.
(08:42):
Newcomer Ben Wang, you might know him from American born
Chinese and he is going to I guess to be
the student of Chen.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Is that correct, mister Han.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yes, he is a student of mister Han. But from
all reports, everyone who saw this trailer, when everyone in
the crowd erupted was when they saw mister Han who
this is said a few years later after the events
of the Dre of Dre and And And it is
(09:15):
acknowledged in this film that it is a few years later,
and Dre's winning the competition is acknowledged. But they said
that in Hans's studio prominently hangs a photo and lineage
connected to mister Miyagi, and therein is when everyone was like, wait,
(09:38):
what screaming and we're kind of wondering, is this new
character uh connected to mister Miyagi by way of is
this a long loss grandchild or something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We thought that Miyagi lost the child a lot that
way in the very first movie, but we know that
there's other life that he lived having nothing to do
with his wife. So it's possible that there was, you know,
in an apollo creed sort of way, there was another
child out there.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yes, and now everyone is wondering who is mister Hahn
to mister Miyagi that you would have his photo displayed
in your dojong so prominently as as if he is
from whence your style comes something to that level. It's
(10:35):
a lot of mystery that was brought up in this.
I'm like, wait a minute, if they're using that to
be the same because we already know. In the last
season of Cobra Kai, Daniel is finding more and more
and more about mister Miyagi's life before he met him,
right and the life that we never knew existed. So
is there a connection between either Han and Miyagi or
(11:00):
from this new character.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Ben Wang and mister Miyagi. I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
There's still not a release date for the movie, but
we know that there's season six, Cobra Kai Part two,
Season six, which is going to be released in November,
and Part three, which is slated for twenty twenty five.
They haven't told us specifically, so we still have two
more portions of the final season of Cobra Kati get through,
which will probably give us more insight as far as
(11:31):
where the story is edited, because from what I understand,
the movie is going to dovetail off of what we've
seen in Cobra Kai.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yes, yes, directly, directly, it is explicitly connected the story
that we've been seeing from I understand from my folks
that were at New York Comic Con, who know how
much we love Karate Kid, they were like, they several
people are hitting me, like Tuala, you two should have
been in New York for this presentation. Because the cast
(12:02):
came out, they showed the trailer, they showed footage, and
from what we're seeing, everything y'all have been hyping up
about Cobra Kai it all comes together in this Karate
Kid Legends film and it is legendary. They said, That's
all I will tell you is that the footage we
see it makes this legendary, which to me means we're
(12:23):
gonna get some real solid, hardcore connectivity from some characters
we may not have seen yet.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
See, we need to get williams Zabka back on this show.
He came on years ago when the Will Smith Jaden
Smith karate Kid came out years ago and we talked
about that.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I know he listens to Cafi.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Williams Zabka, just come on back with us so we
can talk about this and get more insight about the
final season of Cobra Kai as well as Karate Kid legends.
I personally can't wait because this is a time in
which they understand what true Karate Kid fans want, and
they're given the fans what they want. If they've learned
(13:06):
anything from the success of the MCU and universe building,
it's having the different generations and different characters together in
the same story. Don't keep them all separate. And before
you had the separate Hillary Swank portion of the universe,
and you had the separate Jackie Chan portion of the
(13:28):
universe and the original Karate Kid trilogy. Now they're telling
you all of it is coming together, all of it
and the only thing we haven't seen a direct indication
of is Hillary swank and we may get that before
the end of Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
We may, we may man. I am really hoping for that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But you know you were telling me during the break
Twila that there's going to be an added emphasis, and
that doesn't surprise me because we're talking about Jackie Chan
an added emphasis on upping the quality of the Marshall
Arts choreography.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yes, all of the trailer footage indicates that Ralph Macchio's
karate is stepped up, and some people joke whether they're
speeding up the camera or whatever. But you know, I
would think when you have someone like Jackie Chan who
is world renowned for not just his martial arts but
(14:24):
for his action and his stuts, I don't think that
he's going to dumb down his martial arts capability to.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Lift up anyone.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I think he's going to say, this is what we're
going to do, and we're all gonna get on the
same page here. We're all doing some real stuff. So
I think that it's only it's only right that Ralph
Macchio steps up his training, his his exercising and his
choreography to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Make it look like it's real.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Because this one isn't in America where you're going to
the all Valley.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And we always gave Karate Kid a pass for choreography.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
We've always given it a past.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
If you've ever studied any martial arts, you know that, Okay,
that Karate Kid choreography left a lot to be desired.
It wasn't like Daredevil, it wasn't like any Jackie Chan movie.
It was campy to a certain degree. Yes, it was
corny even and unrealistic. If they can bring into Jackie
Chan when I say martial arts choreography, the realism or
(15:26):
the sophistication of that type of choreography, it would it
would reach new levels and heights of a fan appreciation.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, the fight for choreography that we saw in the
Karate Kid reboot with Jaden Smith was like years ahead
of where we were introduced to karate through Karate Kids.
So that was basic, basic form karate that we saw
in Karate Kid. In Karate Kid Javid Smith, it was
(15:59):
kung fu. And so if you're blending those two worlds together,
you can't have the kung fu that mister Han is
bringing to the table just wrecking shop all over. Daniel
sounds karate. You can't do that, so Daniel's got to
step it up. It's gonna have to look real. We'll
see though, that's the best part. We will see.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Kelly six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. There's a
show which is getting ready to come back with its
second season called The Last of Us, which is on
Max and it details the story of how civilization falls
because of not a viral infection, but a fungus infection.
(16:55):
And it's based on some credible science. And if you
watch The Last of Us in the very first episode,
it sets the stage for this Cortceps infection which takes
over humans and takes control of their bodies. But there's
science in the natural kingdom to support it. But I
(17:18):
want to play this clip from the Last of Us
which kind of sets up the possibility of it happening
in the real world.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Doctor Newman, you're also an epidemiologist. I presume the prospect
of a viral pandemic keeps you up at night as well. No, no, no,
all right, well that's our show.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
No mankind has been at war with the virus from
the start. Sometimes millions of people die, as in an
actual war, but in the end we always win.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
But you just to be clear, you do think microorganisms
suppose a.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Threat or in the most diatoms.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Bacteria no, You like saying no, yes, not bacteria, not viruses.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So fungus, yes, that's the usual response. Fungi seem harmless
enough many species. No otherwise, because there are some fungi
who seek not to kill but to control. Let me
ask you where do we get LSD from?
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Where do you get it from?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
It comes from ergot, a fungus psilocybin, also a fungus.
Viruses can make us ill, but fungi can alter our
very minds. There's a fungus that infects insects, gets inside
an ant, for example, travels through its circulatory system to
the ant's brain, and then floods it with hallucinogens, thus
bending the ant's.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Mind that is real, that is from the real world,
that is talking about real things which do happen.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
To its will.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
The fungus starts to direct the ant's behavior, telling it
where to go, what to do, like a puppeteer with
a marionette, and it gets worse, the fungus needs food
to live, so it begins to devour its host from within.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
That is also scientifically accurate. This is from a TV show,
but scientifically accurate.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Placing the ants flesh with its own.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
But it doesn't let its victim die.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
No, it keeps its poppet alive by preventing decomposition.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
How where do we get penicillin from fungus?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Doctor shown heis your in distructs. Fungal infection of this
kind is real, but not in humans.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
That is also accurate. But here is the sticky point.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
True, fungi cannot survive if its host internal temperature is
over ninety four degrees and currently there are no reasons
for fungi to evolve to be able to withstand higher temperatures.
But what if that were to change, What if, for instance,
the world were to get slightly warmer. Well, now there
is reason to evolve. One gene mutates and an aasku
(19:53):
my Ctia candida ergot Cordceps astragillis, anyone of Cordceps Cortceps asgragillis.
Any one of them could become capable of borrowing into
our brains and taking control not of millions of us,
but billions of us, billions of puppets with poisoned minds,
(20:13):
permanently fixed on one unifying goal to spread the infection
to every last human alive by any means necessary. And
there are no treatments for this, no preventatives, noo cures.
They don't exist. It's not even possible to make them.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
So if that happens, we lose.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That is from a TV show, But the science contained
therein is accurate. That's the scary part. But more and
more scientists are debating the possibility of whether Cortceps unilateris
could make the jump from insects to humans. Now, there's
(20:56):
already evidence that it infects and kills ants, and it
can diminish the local ant population, But the question is
if and when they would evolve to the point of
being able to survive and also infect humans.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It is already jumped from ants to bees and watch
and cicadas and various insects that would normally just be
able to shake something like this off, and it is
destroying entire hives and eradicating something, especially bees, things that
(21:37):
we need to keep this planet going. No, you can
kill the bees, we look, Mo, we need the bees.
Damn it, we need the bees.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Man, let the fungus kill all the bees. If it
gets the bees, it gets us.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
MO.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Just know that when the fungus gets the bees, it's
going to get us.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Can it just get marked?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
It's not just gonna get marked, It's gonna get all
of us, because the bees are what's fertilizing what we eat.
We do not know I originally and you, and this
is well documented and I don't know how many thousands
of podcasts that we have posted now, all the way
back to the Mo Kelly Show. I originally thought that
the zombie apocalypse was going to come about by means
(22:19):
by way of us eating. We are we eat, and
I thought, because of the drugs and different things that
they're putting in the meats that we're eating and taking
into our bodies, that we were going to somehow catch
a hold of a virus that mixes with some drug
or something that we're taking and causes us to want
to spread this this virus that just erodes the brain.
(22:42):
But same as we saw on last of us, and
this was spread by way of yeast or food.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Part we never knew what the food was we thought
it was the food supply.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
We thought it was the food supply, but just simply
something like fungus. And we know this planet is getting hotters.
How does it is right now in October? This is
record highs that we're seeing right now. This is why
I think this is even more possible.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, the question is where are we in that evolutionary process.
We know the planet is getting hotter, We just don't
know where organisms organisms on this planet are in their
own individual and collective evolutionary process. Has it begun for
different strains of fungus? Don't know, couldn't hazard, I guess,
(23:30):
but you know, something horrible will happen to us eventually
if not the climate changed, and then maybe the fungus
among us.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I think the key takeaway here, Mo is that your
fate is tied to the fate of bees.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
No much, No, yeah, Mark, you hit that out the
parkat That's okay. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I'll be long gone before any of this happens. We
don't know that.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I think that as hot as it is this year,
it will be even hotter five years from now.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You'll be here in five years, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But it'll be earthquakes or hurricanes you know, we won't
be the fucus.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
And that may be what causes it.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
May be a massive earthquake where it releases some fungus
into the air, which gets in our lungs and starts
reproducing within the heat in our lungs that we're breathing
in this hot ass air, and there.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
We go, Well, maybe it will feel like we're dying
of LSD. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
There's certain things that just can't lose sleepover. There's enough
to worry about and concern ourselves with on a day
to day basis. If someone gonna shoot me on the freeway,
you know, is it going to be an earthquake, is
it going to be a mass shooting at a mall.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I'm not gonna worry about the fungus. You can't.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I don't have the bandwidth. Look, this goes to something
Marxist all the time. With this mass psychosis that we
as a society are in. How do we know that
the fungcus is not already taking over our minds which
is leading to some of this mass psychosis that we're
dealing with.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a magic joke in there, right right? Is that
what you're trying to say no, I didn't know if
you were trying to get political or not.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I'm talking about how just as a society, we are
off the deep end right now?
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Oh, no, no, we are. We are.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I think it's self induced. I don't know if it's
I doubt it's an externle. I think that we're Look,
I've said many times, this is the dumbest nation on
the face of the earth. And I say that with
love and affection, if only because I don't want it
to be. But I think it is fair enough to see.
The signs of us are our willingness to accept and
(25:31):
embrace ignorance. You know, what do you mean you're you're
a college graduate. What do you mean you're you're an expert?
You think you're an elitist? Oh, excuse me, because I
strive higher than mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
And that's why I think it's.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Like it could be that your brain is just more
resistant to the fungus.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Oh so the force only works on the weak behind it?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yes, right now, Yes, we minded right, Mark, This is
not the news break that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Keep trying. Did you see now you're doing? Okay, okay,
I'm waving a hand it's not no effect. The more
you do it, maybe the better you'll get at it.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Okay, maybe I'll get like hair on my hands I
try to or.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
A fungus growing out of your eyes and ears and
mouth like on that show.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Look at the time.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
And before we get out of here, be sure to
make sure you've locked in the podcast. It does not

addict ituned, Apple podcasts, of course, the iHeartRadio app. Wherever
(26:56):
your favorite podcasts are. Later with mo Kelly all so
is all my funniest moments are in there. We try
to edit out mark as much as possible, so it's
really short, Right Robin, you got to learn the rim shot. No no, no,
she's shaking her head. No that's a no. She blocked
you at the rim almost shot. Almost nothing to the show,
(27:18):
is what you're saying. It just shoots right by. Look,
Robin's on my side. I pay her well to be
on my side. Oh I'm sure out of that massive
sultan like paycheck. Yeah, of course I wish. Hey, Mark,
you didn't tell me what you did this weekend? I rested,
are you kidding me? I actually wasn't even sure if
I was invited to the wedding that you guys went to.
(27:41):
I just rested.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I read I worked on a screenplay that I've been
hard at work on that I guarantees me a ticket
to the big time, but I can't really tell you
anything about it on the air.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
What software do you use for your screenwriting? Do you
use Final Draft or some other.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I did use Final Draft, but it's crap, so right
now I'm just free handing it. And then when I
when I get to my final pass, John August has
a free I Think screenwriting app that I've used before
and thought it was perfectly good. But yeah, final people
really get suckered into paying a lot for Final Draft,
which I was one.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yes, it basically indents for you and remembers Nay, okay,
it does, but I guess the appeal.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What I was doing more screenwriting work in the early
two thousands was the formatting. It just made it easier
because outside of using word, Microsoft Word or something, there
really wasn't anything else which addressed all the different the fawning,
the subtext, supertext, pagetation, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
If you want some really entertaining rants about how crappy
Final Draft is, listen to the script Notes podcast. Craig Mason,
who is actually the showrunner on the Last of Us
that you were just talking about. He just tears into
these guys and it's very satisfying. Well, I know that you're.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Going to hit it big, and when I'm when it happens,
I want to take full credit for all your success.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, I wouldn't be here without you. Robin, did you
get that twilette? Make sure you got that yeah record? Yeah, Okay,
I owe it all to you, all of it, because
I'm going to use that later on when I sue him.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's like he took my idea. He said, right here,
he owes it all to me. I insert this into evidence.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Well, there's a very unflattering villain character who I should
I should probably change his name to something like smo
oh smelly or something like that. I don't want to
be sued, is the point. Oh, I'm going to sue
you regardless.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
It doesn't matter. You know, I'm just telling you that
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Really an unsympathetic character, kind of like doctor Evil or something.
Oh no, no, not cute like doctor Evil. No fun
at all. Really really a loathsome character. And I think
audiences are really going to despise this character. What are
you gonna call them? Elmo nsk oh no, that's that's
a whole separate thing. Actually, well, I can't tell you anything,
(30:10):
but when when the movie comes out and we're at
the red carpet and you're waving at me from the sidelines,
I'll shout and answer at you.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Yeah, well, don't you one million dollars?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Just give me that line? Okay, one million dollars.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Million, you have to say a million dollar?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yes, a million?
Speaker 8 (30:37):
One million dollars. Mm m m.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Well don't you think we should maybe ask for more
than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a
lot of money these days. Virtue con alone makes over
ninety billion dollars a year.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Really, it's not. Okay, we hold the world rounsom four
one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Okay, all I ask is you write me into the
script as some really famous successful radio hosts and I have,
like the the montage during the end of the world
where I'm narrating what is happening when the aliens are
coming or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
You know that it's not a fantasy. Moh's just it's
really going to happen.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No, let's just stay grounded here, please.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The thing is that one million dollars would pretty much
just get you a down payment on a modest sized
house in LA At this point, it's true.
Speaker 8 (31:40):
It's true, one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
It's later with Mo Kelly k IF I AM six forty.
We're live everywhere.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
On the one million dollars iHeartRadio app. Not just stimulating
talk if more k s i'.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Live everywhere on the Younger Radio app.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And on the strength of Mark Ronner's runner report, the
movie Smile Too came in at number one this week
with a very healthy twenty three million dollars domestically and
another twenty three million internationally for a worldwide take of
(00:28):
forty six million dollars. And if you're wondering, well, how
good is that, Well, the budget for Smile Too was
only twenty eight million, so it's already made plenty money.
Of course, we talk about how the genre, you know,
it doesn't take a lot of money to produce the movies,
but still when you're talking about multipliers over the life
(00:50):
of its time in the theater, Look, if it brought
in forty six million its first week, it's going to
do probably multiplier of at least three or four times
its budget.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I think we're going in a Smile three whether we
want one or not. But this one was good. I'll
take your word for it. It's a very simple concept.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You explained it, and it's probably not the best horror
movie ever, but it's good enough and people seem to
like it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I think what I said Friday was that I'm
not going to need the Criterion edition of it to
keep in perpetuity, but it was an enjoyable watch. It
was well worth the trip to the theater.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Number two, The Wild Robot is still doing well. In
its fourth week, it brought in another ten million domestically,
it has a worldwide take of one hundred and ninety
seven million. I don't think anyone foresaw that The Wild
Robot would be doing as well for as long as
it has. It's in its fourth week. Number three Terrifier three,
another horror movie, brought it nine million for a total
(01:51):
of forty one million, and Terrifyer three's budget, let's look
that up real quick. Three budget two million dollars. Yeah,
it's kind of low rent.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I'm really surprised that it's doing so well in mainstream
theaters and didn't go straight to the streaming or something
like that, because having only seen the first one but
read about the other two, they're pretty nasty, I mean,
and the gore in the first one is right up there.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
There are very few investments where you could put in
two million and get back forty one very few.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, horror films are always a good bet when when
you and I get a couple of million dollars ahead
from our work here we're making a horror film.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh you damn right. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice came in at number four.
It brought in well, it came in at number four.
It brought in five million dollars. And I don't think
anyone foresaw the how well that movie was going to
do for such a sequel, which a long time in
between its original movie and the sequel.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's now at four hundred and thirty four million.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I don't think anyone even connected to the project thought
that this would be close to a half a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, it seems to me like it's kind of comfort viewing,
and that's a gauge of where we're at right now.
People just need something that doesn't move the needle a
whole bunch.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
And it's pretty well balanced.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I mean, two hundred and eighty three million domestically and
another like one hundred and seventy million internationally. It's a
well balanced movie in that regard. Number five is We
Live in Time. It is not in wide release, but
it's per theater average was second this week at four
two hundred and forty nine dollars per screen and made
(03:31):
by A twenty four the same movie studio which did
Civil War.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Its total is four million.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
This was this debut week and it only has like
maybe nine hundred and eighty theaters in which it's in. Quote,
an up and coming chef and a recent divorcee find
their lives forever change when a chance encounter brings them
together in a decade spanning, deeply moving romance. It's not
a movie that appeals to me in any way. I'm
not into the romance movies. I'm just not. But somebody
(04:00):
likes it and it seems like it's picking up steam
because they it was only in a nine hundred and
eighty theaters and they'll probably expand over the next two weeks.
Number six is say it for me, Mark Joker? Oh yeah,
fully adduce fully adduce Yeah. It grows one hundred and
(04:21):
ninety two million worldwide. I think it needs to make
four hundred million to make back its budget plus marketing
and promotion, even though the listed budget is two hundred million.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I have no idea why, but.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's I'm surprised it's still in the top ten given
how poorly it was reviewed by both critics and audiences.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Not many people like it, but the few who do
seem to think it's a work of genius. And I
just cannot fathom that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And here's the movie which is not well balanced.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's fifty six million domestically but one hundred and thirty
five internationally. They're seeing something, they're appreciating something that you
office audiences simply are not.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Coming at.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Number seven was Piece by Piece. I have no idea
what this movie is. This is second week Piece by
Piece a vibe. Oh, that's the Pharrell Williams movie about
his life through the lens of lego animation. And it
has a total groups of seven million. I have no
idea what the budget is. And surprisingly, number eight, even
(05:25):
though Tuala hated it, is still Transformers one and it's
fifth week. It brought in one point nine million this
week for total of one hundred and nineteen million. The
animated features are doing pretty well all things considered. Even
still Saturday Night, which you reviewed Mark is number nine.
(05:46):
This week brought in one point seven million. Yeah, it
had kind of a weird release schedule. It was out
in like two places here. Then it was everywhere a
little while later. I don't know what their plan was
with that, but it's worth seeing. It's just it seems
scattershot as far as how it's being rolled out. It
added only twenty seven theaters this week. It's not I
(06:06):
guess you could say it's wide release, but it's only
twenty three hundred theaters.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Think of it this way.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
For a big time movie, it's usually in forty three
hundred theaters or more.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I will bet you right now that Matthew Rees gets
some sort of nomination for his portrayal of George Carlin.
He's terrific in it.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I still got to check that out and believe it
or not. The Nightmare before Christmas. The twenty twenty four
re release brought in one point two million to come in
at number ten, and total gross is four point nine
million just for the re release. It's free money. It's
not anything they had to do. I don't think they
even advertised. They just put it out and got free
(06:45):
five million passive income for Tim Burton. Absolutely, and that
was out. Let me see two weeks, has been out
two weeks now with the re release, free money.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Next month they're going to do a re release of
God'szilla minus one with thirteen minutes of additional footage.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That'll get me back in theaters. Yeah, because it earned
my time. I was riveted. I remember I was texting
Marking till I was like, my gosh, Mark, you were right.
Well you got to see that.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It was great. Yeah, it was great. Might have another
guy trip in our future? Yeah, oh absolutely, I'm down
with that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's Later with Mo Kelly kiff I AM six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and you're
the best around. The Karate Kid Legends movie, which is
coming out next year, there is a portion of a
trailer which was shown over the weekend at New York
Comic Con, and we're getting bits and pieces of that
(07:45):
and we're getting more insight as far as what the
movie's about, who's in it, and who might be in it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We told you about the upcoming Karate Kid movie, which
is going to be titled Karate Kid Legends. Well, there
is some trailer footage which was screened at New York
Comic Con over the weekend and we're getting bits and
pieces about what the storyline is going to be about
and some of the actors who will be involved in it.
(08:20):
Of course, we know that Jackie Chan will be in it.
We know that Ralph Macho will be in it, and
they will be working together as sense and Seafu, blending
karate and kung fu. In this movie, it's explicit both
martial arts will be featured and they will see the franchise.
(08:42):
Newcomer Ben Wang, you might know him from American born
Chinese and he is going to I guess to be
the student of Chen.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Is that correct, mister Han.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yes, he is a student of mister Han. But from
all reports, everyone who saw this trailer, when everyone in
the crowd erupted was when they saw mister Han who
this is said a few years later after the events
of the Dre of Dre and And And it is
(09:15):
acknowledged in this film that it is a few years later,
and Dre's winning the competition is acknowledged. But they said
that in Hans's studio prominently hangs a photo and lineage
connected to mister Miyagi, and therein is when everyone was like, wait,
(09:38):
what screaming and we're kind of wondering, is this new
character uh connected to mister Miyagi by way of is
this a long loss grandchild or something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We thought that Miyagi lost the child a lot that
way in the very first movie, but we know that
there's other life that he lived having nothing to do
with his wife. So it's possible that there was, you know,
in an apollo creed sort of way, there was another
child out there.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yes, and now everyone is wondering who is mister Hahn
to mister Miyagi that you would have his photo displayed
in your dojong so prominently as as if he is
from whence your style comes something to that level. It's
(10:35):
a lot of mystery that was brought up in this.
I'm like, wait a minute, if they're using that to
be the same because we already know. In the last
season of Cobra Kai, Daniel is finding more and more
and more about mister Miyagi's life before he met him,
right and the life that we never knew existed. So
is there a connection between either Han and Miyagi or
(11:00):
from this new character.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Ben Wang and mister Miyagi. I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
There's still not a release date for the movie, but
we know that there's season six, Cobra Kai Part two,
Season six, which is going to be released in November,
and Part three, which is slated for twenty twenty five.
They haven't told us specifically, so we still have two
more portions of the final season of Cobra Kati get through,
which will probably give us more insight as far as
(11:31):
where the story is edited, because from what I understand,
the movie is going to dovetail off of what we've
seen in Cobra Kai.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yes, yes, directly, directly, it is explicitly connected the story
that we've been seeing from I understand from my folks
that were at New York Comic Con, who know how
much we love Karate Kid, they were like, they several
people are hitting me, like Tuala, you two should have
been in New York for this presentation. Because the cast
(12:02):
came out, they showed the trailer, they showed footage, and
from what we're seeing, everything y'all have been hyping up
about Cobra Kai it all comes together in this Karate
Kid Legends film and it is legendary. They said, That's
all I will tell you is that the footage we
see it makes this legendary, which to me means we're
(12:23):
gonna get some real solid, hardcore connectivity from some characters
we may not have seen yet.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
See, we need to get williams Zabka back on this show.
He came on years ago when the Will Smith Jaden
Smith karate Kid came out years ago and we talked
about that.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I know he listens to Cafi.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Williams Zabka, just come on back with us so we
can talk about this and get more insight about the
final season of Cobra Kai as well as Karate Kid legends.
I personally can't wait because this is a time in
which they understand what true Karate Kid fans want, and
they're given the fans what they want. If they've learned
(13:06):
anything from the success of the MCU and universe building,
it's having the different generations and different characters together in
the same story. Don't keep them all separate. And before
you had the separate Hillary Swank portion of the universe,
and you had the separate Jackie Chan portion of the
(13:28):
universe and the original Karate Kid trilogy. Now they're telling
you all of it is coming together, all of it
and the only thing we haven't seen a direct indication
of is Hillary swank and we may get that before
the end of Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
We may, we may man. I am really hoping for that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But you know you were telling me during the break
Twila that there's going to be an added emphasis, and
that doesn't surprise me because we're talking about Jackie Chan
an added emphasis on upping the quality of the Marshall
Arts choreography.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yes, all of the trailer footage indicates that Ralph Macchio's
karate is stepped up, and some people joke whether they're
speeding up the camera or whatever. But you know, I
would think when you have someone like Jackie Chan who
is world renowned for not just his martial arts but
(14:24):
for his action and his stuts, I don't think that
he's going to dumb down his martial arts capability to.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Lift up anyone.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I think he's going to say, this is what we're
going to do, and we're all gonna get on the
same page here. We're all doing some real stuff. So
I think that it's only it's only right that Ralph
Macchio steps up his training, his his exercising and his
choreography to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Make it look like it's real.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Because this one isn't in America where you're going to
the all Valley.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And we always gave Karate Kid a pass for choreography.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
We've always given it a past.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
If you've ever studied any martial arts, you know that, Okay,
that Karate Kid choreography left a lot to be desired.
It wasn't like Daredevil, it wasn't like any Jackie Chan movie.
It was campy to a certain degree. Yes, it was
corny even and unrealistic. If they can bring into Jackie
Chan when I say martial arts choreography, the realism or
(15:26):
the sophistication of that type of choreography, it would it
would reach new levels and heights of a fan appreciation.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, the fight for choreography that we saw in the
Karate Kid reboot with Jaden Smith was like years ahead
of where we were introduced to karate through Karate Kids.
So that was basic, basic form karate that we saw
in Karate Kid. In Karate Kid Javid Smith, it was
(15:59):
kung fu. And so if you're blending those two worlds together,
you can't have the kung fu that mister Han is
bringing to the table just wrecking shop all over. Daniel
sounds karate. You can't do that, so Daniel's got to
step it up. It's gonna have to look real. We'll
see though, that's the best part. We will see.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Kelly six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. There's a
show which is getting ready to come back with its
second season called The Last of Us, which is on
Max and it details the story of how civilization falls
because of not a viral infection, but a fungus infection.
(16:55):
And it's based on some credible science. And if you
watch The Last of Us in the very first episode,
it sets the stage for this Cortceps infection which takes
over humans and takes control of their bodies. But there's
science in the natural kingdom to support it. But I
(17:18):
want to play this clip from the Last of Us
which kind of sets up the possibility of it happening
in the real world.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Doctor Newman, you're also an epidemiologist. I presume the prospect
of a viral pandemic keeps you up at night as well. No, no, no,
all right, well that's our show.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
No mankind has been at war with the virus from
the start. Sometimes millions of people die, as in an
actual war, but in the end we always win.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
But you just to be clear, you do think microorganisms
suppose a.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Threat or in the most diatoms.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Bacteria no, You like saying no, yes, not bacteria, not viruses.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So fungus, yes, that's the usual response. Fungi seem harmless
enough many species. No otherwise, because there are some fungi
who seek not to kill but to control. Let me
ask you where do we get LSD from?
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Where do you get it from?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
It comes from ergot, a fungus psilocybin, also a fungus.
Viruses can make us ill, but fungi can alter our
very minds. There's a fungus that infects insects, gets inside
an ant, for example, travels through its circulatory system to
the ant's brain, and then floods it with hallucinogens, thus
bending the ant's.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Mind that is real, that is from the real world,
that is talking about real things which do happen.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
To its will.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
The fungus starts to direct the ant's behavior, telling it
where to go, what to do, like a puppeteer with
a marionette, and it gets worse, the fungus needs food
to live, so it begins to devour its host from within.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
That is also scientifically accurate. This is from a TV show,
but scientifically accurate.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Placing the ants flesh with its own.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
But it doesn't let its victim die.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
No, it keeps its poppet alive by preventing decomposition.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
How where do we get penicillin from fungus?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Doctor shown heis your in distructs. Fungal infection of this
kind is real, but not in humans.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
That is also accurate. But here is the sticky point.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
True, fungi cannot survive if its host internal temperature is
over ninety four degrees and currently there are no reasons
for fungi to evolve to be able to withstand higher temperatures.
But what if that were to change, What if, for instance,
the world were to get slightly warmer. Well, now there
is reason to evolve. One gene mutates and an aasku
(19:53):
my Ctia candida ergot Cordceps astragillis, anyone of Cordceps Cortceps asgragillis.
Any one of them could become capable of borrowing into
our brains and taking control not of millions of us,
but billions of us, billions of puppets with poisoned minds,
(20:13):
permanently fixed on one unifying goal to spread the infection
to every last human alive by any means necessary. And
there are no treatments for this, no preventatives, noo cures.
They don't exist. It's not even possible to make them.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
So if that happens, we lose.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That is from a TV show, But the science contained
therein is accurate. That's the scary part. But more and
more scientists are debating the possibility of whether Cortceps unilateris
could make the jump from insects to humans. Now, there's
(20:56):
already evidence that it infects and kills ants, and it
can diminish the local ant population, But the question is
if and when they would evolve to the point of
being able to survive and also infect humans.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It is already jumped from ants to bees and watch
and cicadas and various insects that would normally just be
able to shake something like this off, and it is
destroying entire hives and eradicating something, especially bees, things that
(21:37):
we need to keep this planet going. No, you can
kill the bees, we look, Mo, we need the bees.
Damn it, we need the bees.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Man, let the fungus kill all the bees. If it
gets the bees, it gets us.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
MO.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Just know that when the fungus gets the bees, it's
going to get us.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Can it just get marked?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
It's not just gonna get marked, It's gonna get all
of us, because the bees are what's fertilizing what we eat.
We do not know I originally and you, and this
is well documented and I don't know how many thousands
of podcasts that we have posted now, all the way
back to the Mo Kelly Show. I originally thought that
the zombie apocalypse was going to come about by means
(22:19):
by way of us eating. We are we eat, and
I thought, because of the drugs and different things that
they're putting in the meats that we're eating and taking
into our bodies, that we were going to somehow catch
a hold of a virus that mixes with some drug
or something that we're taking and causes us to want
to spread this this virus that just erodes the brain.
(22:42):
But same as we saw on last of us, and
this was spread by way of yeast or food.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Part we never knew what the food was we thought
it was the food supply.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
We thought it was the food supply, but just simply
something like fungus. And we know this planet is getting hotters.
How does it is right now in October? This is
record highs that we're seeing right now. This is why
I think this is even more possible.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, the question is where are we in that evolutionary process.
We know the planet is getting hotter, We just don't
know where organisms organisms on this planet are in their
own individual and collective evolutionary process. Has it begun for
different strains of fungus? Don't know, couldn't hazard, I guess,
(23:30):
but you know, something horrible will happen to us eventually
if not the climate changed, and then maybe the fungus
among us.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I think the key takeaway here, Mo is that your
fate is tied to the fate of bees.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
No much, No, yeah, Mark, you hit that out the
parkat That's okay. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I'll be long gone before any of this happens. We
don't know that.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I think that as hot as it is this year,
it will be even hotter five years from now.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You'll be here in five years, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But it'll be earthquakes or hurricanes you know, we won't
be the fucus.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
And that may be what causes it.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
May be a massive earthquake where it releases some fungus
into the air, which gets in our lungs and starts
reproducing within the heat in our lungs that we're breathing
in this hot ass air, and there.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
We go, Well, maybe it will feel like we're dying
of LSD. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
There's certain things that just can't lose sleepover. There's enough
to worry about and concern ourselves with on a day
to day basis. If someone gonna shoot me on the freeway,
you know, is it going to be an earthquake, is
it going to be a mass shooting at a mall.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I'm not gonna worry about the fungus. You can't.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I don't have the bandwidth. Look, this goes to something
Marxist all the time. With this mass psychosis that we
as a society are in. How do we know that
the fungcus is not already taking over our minds which
is leading to some of this mass psychosis that we're
dealing with.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a magic joke in there, right right? Is that
what you're trying to say no, I didn't know if
you were trying to get political or not.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I'm talking about how just as a society, we are
off the deep end right now?
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Oh, no, no, we are. We are.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I think it's self induced. I don't know if it's
I doubt it's an externle. I think that we're Look,
I've said many times, this is the dumbest nation on
the face of the earth. And I say that with
love and affection, if only because I don't want it
to be. But I think it is fair enough to see.
The signs of us are our willingness to accept and
(25:31):
embrace ignorance. You know, what do you mean you're you're
a college graduate. What do you mean you're you're an expert?
You think you're an elitist? Oh, excuse me, because I
strive higher than mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
And that's why I think it's.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Like it could be that your brain is just more
resistant to the fungus.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Oh so the force only works on the weak behind it?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yes, right now, Yes, we minded right, Mark, This is
not the news break that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Keep trying. Did you see now you're doing? Okay, okay,
I'm waving a hand it's not no effect. The more
you do it, maybe the better you'll get at it.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Okay, maybe I'll get like hair on my hands I
try to or.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
A fungus growing out of your eyes and ears and
mouth like on that show.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Look at the time.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
And before we get out of here, be sure to
make sure you've locked in the podcast. It does not
matter where you find your favorite podcast Later with mo
Kelly is there be it YouTube, be it, Spotify, podcast,
addict ituned, Apple podcasts, of course, the iHeartRadio app. Wherever
(26:56):
your favorite podcasts are. Later with mo Kelly all so
is all my funniest moments are in there. We try
to edit out mark as much as possible, so it's
really short, Right Robin, you got to learn the rim shot. No no, no,
she's shaking her head. No that's a no. She blocked
you at the rim almost shot. Almost nothing to the show,
(27:18):
is what you're saying. It just shoots right by. Look,
Robin's on my side. I pay her well to be
on my side. Oh I'm sure out of that massive
sultan like paycheck. Yeah, of course I wish. Hey, Mark,
you didn't tell me what you did this weekend? I rested,
are you kidding me? I actually wasn't even sure if
I was invited to the wedding that you guys went to.
(27:41):
I just rested.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I read I worked on a screenplay that I've been
hard at work on that I guarantees me a ticket
to the big time, but I can't really tell you
anything about it on the air.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
What software do you use for your screenwriting? Do you
use Final Draft or some other.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I did use Final Draft, but it's crap, so right
now I'm just free handing it. And then when I
when I get to my final pass, John August has
a free I Think screenwriting app that I've used before
and thought it was perfectly good. But yeah, final people
really get suckered into paying a lot for Final Draft,
which I was one.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yes, it basically indents for you and remembers Nay, okay,
it does, but I guess the appeal.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What I was doing more screenwriting work in the early
two thousands was the formatting. It just made it easier
because outside of using word, Microsoft Word or something, there
really wasn't anything else which addressed all the different the fawning,
the subtext, supertext, pagetation, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
If you want some really entertaining rants about how crappy
Final Draft is, listen to the script Notes podcast. Craig Mason,
who is actually the showrunner on the Last of Us
that you were just talking about. He just tears into
these guys and it's very satisfying. Well, I know that you're.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Going to hit it big, and when I'm when it happens,
I want to take full credit for all your success.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, I wouldn't be here without you. Robin, did you
get that twilette? Make sure you got that yeah record? Yeah, Okay,
I owe it all to you, all of it, because
I'm going to use that later on when I sue him.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's like he took my idea. He said, right here,
he owes it all to me. I insert this into evidence.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Well, there's a very unflattering villain character who I should
I should probably change his name to something like smo
oh smelly or something like that. I don't want to
be sued, is the point. Oh, I'm going to sue
you regardless.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
It doesn't matter. You know, I'm just telling you that
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Really an unsympathetic character, kind of like doctor Evil or something.
Oh no, no, not cute like doctor Evil. No fun
at all. Really really a loathsome character. And I think
audiences are really going to despise this character. What are
you gonna call them? Elmo nsk oh no, that's that's
a whole separate thing. Actually, well, I can't tell you anything,
(30:10):
but when when the movie comes out and we're at
the red carpet and you're waving at me from the sidelines,
I'll shout and answer at you.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Yeah, well, don't you one million dollars?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Just give me that line? Okay, one million dollars.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Million, you have to say a million dollar?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yes, a million?
Speaker 8 (30:37):
One million dollars. Mm m m.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Well don't you think we should maybe ask for more
than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a
lot of money these days. Virtue con alone makes over
ninety billion dollars a year.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Really, it's not. Okay, we hold the world rounsom four
one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Okay, all I ask is you write me into the
script as some really famous successful radio hosts and I have,
like the the montage during the end of the world
where I'm narrating what is happening when the aliens are
coming or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
You know that it's not a fantasy. Moh's just it's
really going to happen.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
No, let's just stay grounded here, please.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The thing is that one million dollars would pretty much
just get you a down payment on a modest sized
house in LA At this point, it's true.
Speaker 8 (31:40):
It's true, one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
It's later with Mo Kelly k IF I AM six forty.
We're live everywhere.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
On the one million dollars iHeartRadio app. Not just stimulating
talk if more k s i'.
