Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And let's talk about some of the box office returns
this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I gotta say I had missed. Let me start in
the middle of the pack. Coming in at number five
this week is Wicked. I sat down and watched Wicked
with my wife. And here's how we came to the movie.
My wife went with a friend to see the stage
production at the Pantages the day after New Year's She
(00:32):
went with a friend.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I had already seen it. Long story.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I had tickets because of work when we interviewed Clifton
Davis a year or so ago and we got tickets
to go. She couldn't go, so I went by myself
that evening. She got a chance to see it on
January second. We both watched the movie together Saturday night
at home.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And I have to say this, I didn't have high.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Expectations from it because I'm I'm not a big fan
of musicals coming to the screen. It usually doesn't work,
it doesn't really translate. But I can say this at
the risk of hyperbole, and I said this to Tu Wallas,
so I'm not just making this up. I do think
that Wicked, the movie version will end up being an
(01:23):
American classic. And I know that's recency bias. I know
that I am, you know, just coming off of seeing it.
But I had someone sitting next to me who had
just seen it in the theater and she was swayed. Accordingly,
I had seen it in the theater, and I love
(01:43):
what I saw on the screen. And the budget for
Wicked was one hundred and fifty million dollars, and you
would think what was on screen was at least three
hundred and fifty million dollars when you judge, like okay, well,
Dune was two hundred and fifty million dollars and the
Avengers movies were two hundred something. And you see the
the majesty of what they put on screen with Wicked,
the costumes and the set design and also the special effects.
(02:06):
I'm thinking there's no way they could have done that
movie for one hundred and fifty million. My only drawback,
my only concern, the only thing that I didn't like,
and I said that even before I saw it. From
Tuala's review, the movie ends, Part one is what would
have been the intermission with the live show, and it
was and for me it felt incomplete.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
That's the only thing I didn't like.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes, it was at a stopping point, if you will,
in the story, but it didn't tell the whole story.
And I know what's coming after that, so it left
me feeling a little bit empty. But after you get
the second half and you put it together, and it
will be required viewing that you watch them both together.
I know what's coming. And the second act is even
(02:52):
better than the first act. I think this will go
down as an American classic. The second act is better.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't want to give too much away,
but you see how this sets up the story of
the Wizard of Oz. You get even more still in
the blanks of Dorothy's story and the people that she meets.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Wow, okay, okay, I'm excited, and that comes out again.
They shout him back to back. Right, So we get
the second one this year, same time, I believe, second
week of November.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah, I would have much rather than came out like
four months apart.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Okay, don't make me wait the literal year to see
the second part, since they're not even gonna stay in
theaters all that long. Why do you have to make
everyone wait, that I would have much rather they put this,
let's say, in Spring. I think this would have been
a good movie for Spring. But you know, Wicked slash
Wizard of Oz. They wandered around the holidays.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And to your point, yeah, it was me and my
dad dreamed the movie last night and the first thing
that you see advertises Rent Wicked now, and he's like,
it's already available, Mike, Well, yeah, how.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Fast it is. That's how fast it is.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's gross six hundred and eighty million worldwide, four hundred
and fifty million domestically, two hundred and thirty internationally. And
to give you specifics, it's been in theaters a total
of seven weeks. That's long by you know, contemporary standards,
but not long by historical standards. You used to have
movies in theaters for five and six months. The fact
(04:24):
that it's made it to seven weeks and still in theaters,
it's still in more than three thousand theaters.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
In fact, it went up one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Ten this past weekend, even though you can watch it
on streaming.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So there is renewed interest. Part of that I think
is because because of the Golden Globes. But a one
hundred and ten theater increase seven weeks in and it's
available on streaming now. I'll tell you that film has
legs coming here. At number one this week was Mofassa
The Lion King. Sorry, I don't get into the Steve
Live Action. I just can't. I just can't.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, I can't do that. Number two was Sonic. Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Mufossa had twenty three million in its third week. Sonic
the Hedgehog three twenty one million in its third week.
Sonic has a total gross of three hundred and thirty
seven million dollars worldwide.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
With Foster.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
The Lion King has a total of four hundred and
seventy six million worldwide. The Lion King will probably get well, yeah,
it will cross a half a billion, which is great,
makes money for it. It just won't get any of
my money. Sonic the Hedgehog is doing well enough. Well,
they'll probably be a fourth movie. Haven't seen the first
three from I understand there's already a fourth movie. There's
(05:43):
gonna they set it up for the fourth. And this
last one was awesome, great, Okay, okay, so this is
a second awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Look.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
My son is literally telling me I'm insane for not
watching the foosh and you're saying it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say this. You can have fun
with it if you don't, if you don't like know
the actual video game story of it. But they did
such a good job at keeping the characters exactly as
what they were in the video game. I was really
impressed with the second one when they it's not a
spoiler when they introduced Knuckles, because well, now I'd be
spoiling it, but the way they portrayed him was perfection.
(06:19):
And then this one, you know, they it was basically
Sonic versus Shadow, which he's like badass. But yeah, it's
it's gonna there's gonna be a fourth one. They already
introduced two more characters that are in the original game,
So yeah, I would record it's honestly, because you like
movies and you like anime cartoons and stuff, I think
you would actually enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
No, So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
On New Year's Eve, we watched Sonic one and two.
The family's what we did because my son kept talking
about this third one and we all wanted to excommunicate
him from the family. So, wow, it was so bad.
It was so bad.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I guess well because we're he well he's younger than
I am, but I grew up with the game, and
it's just like they did it to a t.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
That's what he says. He did it exactly. Okay. See
I didn't play the game. That's why. Yeah, there might
not be there's to disconnect there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, so unless you just go maybe if you know,
get some innebriate, get a little kne braided, maybe it's
more fun for you. But yeah, for a fan of
the game and the way they held the storyline, they
couldn't have done better. Shout out to Mark Ronner. Coming
in at number three this week is No Sfaratu. Oh
what's the total?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Thirteen million domestically have brought it this week, but worldwide
has brought in one hundred million, sixty nine million domestically.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And here's something else which is interesting. It increased by
one hundred and forty theaters. It is a word of mouthfilm,
which brought it over three three and thirty two theaters,
so it is gaining in momentum. Coming in at number
four is Mowana too, still doing Gangbusters. It's at nine
(08:01):
hundred and sixty million worldwide. It will break a billion.
The company will make sure that it gets over a billion.
They'll buy up the tickets of dB. I was gonna
see it until, like until he cut to Walla's review.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, I can't say I was gonna see it, but
you know, because the first one was great. But yeah,
I'm not gonna see it. A complete unknown coming in
at number six. We talked about Wicket at number five.
That's the Bob Dylan movie. It's doing decent as forty
one million domestically. It brought in eight million this week
and its second week probably overperforming. Actually Baby Girl at
(08:35):
number seven, Gladiator two at number eight, And if I
didn't say it before, let me just say it again.
I was so underwhelmed by that movie. I like Denzel Washington,
but it wasn't like Denzel Washington. It was it was
Denzel Washington. It was Denzel being Denzel with a New
York accent, yeah, ancient Rome. And he made it very
clear he was not even trying to do the accent,
(08:57):
so that doesn't bother me. It just seemed like there
were really no high moments. There was no great tension,
It was no great story to be told.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Agree it was just boring. Well there's a difference.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Well, I think it was unexceptional, but it was still
entertaining enough to make it worth a watch.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
What with the bad boons and the sharks.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, that was pretty That was pretty nuts.
But yeah, because I'm a guy who has to watch
stuff in order, kind of like you guys, I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Me and my dad watched the first one last two
three weeks ago, and then we went to see the
second one. We said the same thing. It was fun,
but the first one was definitely way better. Yeah, I
didn't think it seemed like the movie bent over backwards
to connect to the first movie.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
And I don't want to give it away. I just
didn't buy it. I didn't believe it. And by the
end I didn't care about it. I didn't care who
was going to be Emperor of Rome. I just didn't care.
And the way they tied all that together and the
summation of the movie, it was like, eh, okay, I
(10:01):
didn't buy the dual emperors.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
They were just kids, they were just they were snot
nosed kids, they were brats.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I didn't believe that they would actually rule over the
Roman Empire.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I was pleasantly surprised by the main guy, Paul Pascal.
He was better than I expected him to be. Pedro,
Pedro Pascal, Paul. Well, there's two Pascal's, right me, Pedro Pascal. Funny.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You know what now that I think it is?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I think I did the same thing when I reviewed
it for the run A report when the weekend it
came out. Uh, two guys with suspiciously similar names starring
in this movie. Something's rigged here. But the main guy
who who we followed throughout the pictures, Yeah, I think
he did a good job. That's Paul mescal and he
he I believe, isn't he Richard Harris's son?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Is? I believe he's.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I'll have to look it up, but I'm not looking
at any but I thought he really He brought a
little bit more charisma to the to the part than
I had anticipated just by seeing stills from the movie
ahead of time.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I liked him in it.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I liked Joaquin Phoenix better and that type of role.
But that's just comes down to preference. So you like
the antagonist, do you like the bad guy?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
This explains plenty about you actually, Yeah, who doesn't love
the bad guy?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I don't get it. What's the question? I mean, just
to most point, he was brutal like that. I thought
that was a pretty good bad guy. Yeah, yeah, it
was definitely a bad guy. You want to hiss at
in a movie theater?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Oh? Yeah, right, what's there to disagree on? I tend
to root for the good guys.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Oh I don't. Seriously, especially the good guys are stupid.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And without giving too much away, Denzel Washington is not
a good guy.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And he's not quite a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And I didn't know where to fall emotionally with him
as far as what he was doing and why he
presents himself one way and you realize, oh, it's not
that way, and then he gets real complicated, And then
I was is in the anti hero Stephen? What would
you say? He's not an anti hero?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
He he has plots, he has designs, he has revenge,
and I was with him as far as.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Some of the reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Joaquin Phoenix's no, No, I'll talk about Denzel Washington's character, but
you can't say much without spoiling it.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yeah, no, you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But yeah, I kind of I was gonna almost say,
when you brought him up, he kind of just seemed
like he was there just for his name, because yes, yes,
he was just in it enough to like, I even
forgot he was in it until the movie got to
his point, and I'm like, oh, that's right, he's in
this movie. And you again, it's not giving anyway, but
you really don't see him too much. He's almost like
a minor character. Yeah, so that's what I would say,
(12:39):
but his but there's a large importance that he plays
his isy.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yeah, maybe we'll get a Gladiator three. Well, no, we will,
I'm sure we will.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Oh we will. Well, what's the total? What to bring in?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It brought in two point six million in this it's
seventh week. It's gross four hundred and forty nine million worldwide,
one sixty eight mestically, two hundred and eighty internationally. There's
gonna be a three. I don't know what the storyline
is gonna be, but they don't care.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I hope it's in three D.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But like Jaws and everything, when you get the third
movies in three exactly, Yes, do they do three D
movies like that anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Occasionally? Okay, you don't see too many. Yeah, funny enough,
the last one I saw was Sonic.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Was it in three D? They did the first one
in three D? Yeah? Oh okay, all right, still not
saying it.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
This Later with Mo Kelly KIM six forty we have
more information about the US Box Office finals from twenty
twenty four and what that says for the industry as
we move forward in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app And during
the last segment, I was caught off guard because my
phone was going crazy. Give you some backstory. At the
beginning of the show, was talking about the way most
story with the guy was caught in a way moo
going in circles and people are saying like, oh my gosh,
how could that happen? And you know, here on Lady
(14:08):
with Mo Kelly, we always talked about Waimo and all
the issues. Well, when I was looking at that story
about the guy who was caught in circles trying to
get on his flight coming back to LA the name
was Mike Johns, I'm thinking, Mike Johns, I know that name.
And then I realized it's one of my fraternity brothers,
a friend for like more than thirty years. We had
(14:29):
lost contact because he's a big tech CEO now making
a whole lot of money and I'm just doing radio,
and you know, lives go in different directions. So I've
reached out to him and tried to figure out if
I could get him on the show tonight. And I
think Taalla's talking to him right now. What's the status
right now? Okay, we can get him on the air.
It'll be good, so we can find out and get
his story firsthand of what happened when he was in
(14:55):
the way. Moost Hey, Stephan, tell me what's going on.
They're still trying to get him up right now, so
we can get his story.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
All right, go ahead and bring him up.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mike Johns, my brother of megasci Fi Fraternity Incorporated.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
How are you doing, my Mike?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
You there, amir? How you doing? Big Dogs?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I am?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I am?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Look I saw this story of you going around in
a weymo.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And I said, that looks like someone for me that
I read the stories like.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Mike Johns is like, that's dog from Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And so he said I got to reach out to
you as soon as possible. Let me get out of
the way. You were in the waimo. You are a
tech CEO of Digital State Mind excuse me, digital mind State.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You are an authority on AI when all this is going,
tell me why did you get in a way moo
and what happened?
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Let's do one better. First of all, I'm a futurist
in tech show. I'm supportive of autonomous vehicles. I am
definitely in full support of that. In this situation, I'm
so much in support of it that me and my
son was actually going to get in this, but it
was me that did it on this goal. On the
second goal around, I chose it just the future is
(16:10):
here and these are things that you're gonna have to
embrace regardless. So the glitches are happening right now. Ultimately
they may get fixed down the line. But in this situation,
I got in the car trying to get back to
the airport, going from Sky Harbor to get to lax.
The first soon as I get in the car, it
(16:32):
goes in a circle and it's like, damn, it should
have went the wrong way this way, but instead it
did this does another circle. The second time, I'm like,
and then I'm thinking, okay, by the second third, is
the prank? Somebody up to a prank? I thought like, literally,
some of my tech buddies might have been one to
(16:53):
do the perfect timing, even though I'm in Scottsdale at
the moment. Somebody might have just set this up. But no,
this is real. This, this car has actually been There's
a glitch, not hacked. There's some sort of glitch that's
going on. And the people from the control towers right
there looking at the satellite systems probably realize, Hey, this
(17:14):
car has been going in multiple circles. Let me go
ahead and contact the customer and try to resolve the matter.
That's what WEIMO was trying to do.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, Mike, just so you know, can't have you cuss.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But when you were in the car and you're contacting Waymo,
how much time has transpired? I know you took some
time trying to contact Waymo, and it took some time
for them to get back to you.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So how long were you stuck in this loop? Literally?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
So correction, you're in the car, I'm wondering what's going on,
And as I mentioned, before as the car is in
the circle. I believe that from their headquarters. Again, everything
is controlled by GPS and satellites, they were able to
realize that there was a problem. They prompt promptly over
the speaker started to talk to me. I don't even
(18:06):
have known what to do.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Then in that happening, they went ahead and needed my
phone to help fix the problem with the car. That's
where I was pissed.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
They needed your phone.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
In other words, they needed data from you or to
input a command.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
They needed to, you know, like edit your ride, something
fixing with the ride itself to then be able to
go its course. So they needed to actually do something
in the app inside the uh way MO app, and
then they were able to take control and regain control
of the car.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All told, how much time did this take before you
got at least moving towards your destination? Man?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
That was they I guess it was about seven minutes
the longest seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Were you a Let me put it this way, if
you needed to in an emergency, would you have been
able to get out of the car on your.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Own with anger? You know? If it was more of
a if I found myself in a more of a
dangerous or a threatening situation. I would have had to
kick the windows. Absolutely, I would have had to kick
the windows to do something because I couldn't get out
the car.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The car seemed like it was moving about ten miles
an hour? Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Did you try to contact anyone else during this process?
Or you only were in contact with Weimo?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Thank god it was in the parking lot, so I
didn't feel, you know, any danger or anything like that
that I actually filmed it, like, okay, you know again
stunned this is happening. Let me document this, and again,
grace to God, they already knew that they realized that
there was a problem. That's when they promptly got over
(19:53):
their innercount system and started talking that they realized that
there was a problem. I didn't call. I wouldn't even
have known how to contact them.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Did when you miss your flight?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I saw conflicting stories about whether you actually missed your
flight or no.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Yeah, did not miss the flight, Thank god there was
a delay. Did not miss the flight. People that reported
that I missed the flight were people that didn't talk
to me.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, I saw the video that you posted on your
LinkedIn page. So this happened a while ago.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Has Weimo reached out since and said, hey, we're real sorry,
can we give you like free rides for life?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I have not had any communication with Weymo.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Not even like a coupon in your email.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
I haven't received any communication from Weymo.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Damn. Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Now, as a tech professional, you said before I let
you go, you said that, of course this is and
I'm paraphrasing, that this is to be expected with technology.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
There's going to be glitches.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Would you, at this point, as a futurist and tech CEO,
recommend Weimo for a lay citizen like me?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Very good question. I would say this as my answer.
You drive at your risk, at your own risk, at
your own discretion. So a part of me will say, hey,
data is out there that says, you know, autonomous vehicles
are safer than human vehicles. Once you get into the vehicle,
(21:24):
anything can happen, be it autonomous, be it the human,
anything can happen. As the greatest source out there. But
when it comes to me getting back in the call
have car having a sense of security. One of the
things that I stand on is that for everyday citizens,
you do not want to be a part of the experiment,
especially when you're having a pain to be in the experiment.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, damn, I think that pretty much sums it up.
Mike John's CEO, Digital Mind State. How can people reach
out to you and find more of your work?
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Mike John's Dot CEO. We're out here doing a new
thing called Make America Smart with AI, and so the
timing of this again, I'm here at CEF campaigning on
that Make America Smart with AI. There's a new book
that's coming out called Depth of a Job that's really
going to be dialing in on what the world looks
(22:16):
like between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty, which jobs
are going to be here change and also which ones
will be obsolete. Very important because the black and brown
community must pay attention to this. Do not be a
part of the obsolete society.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Mike Johns, you need to come in studio and sit
with us sometime. I know you the LA area. We're
probably like neighbors and I don't even know it. So
let's stay in touchdaw On that.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
I'm love to get with you Inglewood anytime. Say win, Oh, I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Right outside of Inglewood. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
We're neighbors.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
When come on, you're the big man. You don't even
know what you don't know. When I saw your text,
you were the one right out of UNLV helped set
up my first interview. That's my love for you, my
first interview with Warner grew Warner, I remembers, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well let's let's keep this friendship going.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
M hway, let me touch my brother. All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's led with mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
The Golden Globes were last night, and I've always been
pretty much nonplussed about the Golden Globes.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We know about the sketchy history.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yes they're trying to turn it around, but I try
to put not put too much stock into the Golden Globes.
I was happy that Colin Ferrell won last night for
the Penguin thought we were vindicated in that regard as
good to see him win.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
It was well deserved. But when I do tune into
award shows, which is not often. I'm always curious to
see how well the host can set the tone with
the opening mono. Usually, if there's a bad opening monologue,
it's gonna be a bad show. It just usually runs
hand in hand.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Last night, when Nicki Glazer did her her monologue, I
could tell a lot of it was written, a lot
of it was off the top of her head, riffing
off the people in the room, and I thought.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
It was really really good.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And it maybe not everyone universally loved it, but I
could tell she was really putting it in work, and
I just wanted to play it.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Good evening, and welcome to the eighty second Golden Globes,

Hilton Hotel, and this time all of my clothes are on.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Last segment, we were talking about very briefly the Golden Globes.
How I was pleased that Colin Ferrell did win for
his role as the penguin. I enjoyed Nicki Glazer as
a host and also her opening monologue. I thought she
touched on a wide variety of things, didn't play it
too safe, didn't go overboard. I thought she found that
(32:40):
right balance. That's the type of comedy that I really
do appreciate. It was hetty, it was smart.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You saw all the stories in the news, from politics
to entertainment, just everything in between.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
It was really really well done.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
I also took note of an acceptance speech by to
me more and what appreciated about it was she was very,
very vulnerable, and I learned something about her that I'd
never known before. I didn't know that she had such
an insecurity about her look, about her career and about
(33:14):
her talent.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
And here is what she had to say.
Speaker 10 (33:18):
I really wasn't expecting that. I'm just in shock right now.
I've been doing this a long time, like over forty
five years, and this is the first time I've ever
won anything as an actor, and I'm just so humbled
and so grateful. Thirty years ago, I had a producer
(33:41):
tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
At that time I.
Speaker 10 (33:50):
Made that mean that this wasn't something that I was
allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful,
that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't
be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that,
and that corroded me over time to the point where
I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it,
maybe I was complete, maybe I would I've done what
(34:13):
I was supposed to do. And as I was at
kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous,
out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my
desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that
You're not done.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
And I am so grateful to Coralie for.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Trusting me to step in and play this woman, for Margaret,
for being the other half of me that I couldn't have.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
Done without, for looking out for me.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
To the people who've been with me for over thirty years,
Kevin You, Baine, Jason Weinberg, everybody at CAAA, Untitled Lead,
all of the people who stood by me, especially the
people who've believed in me when I haven't believed in myself.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
And I'll just leave you with one thing that.
Speaker 10 (35:03):
I think this movie is imparting is.
Speaker 9 (35:05):
In those moments when we don't think.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
We're smart enough or pretty enough, we're skinny enough, or successful.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
Enough, or basically just not enough.
Speaker 10 (35:14):
I had a woman say to me, just know you
will never be enough, but you can know the value
of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.
And so today I celebrate this as a marker of
my wholeness and of the.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
Love that is.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
Driving me, and for the gift of doing something I
love and being reminded that I do belong.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Thank you so much kind of surprise me because I
never perceived to me more as someone who felt dissatisfied
with the fullness of her career. And that's my interpretation
of it, that she wanted more out of her career,
that she wanted either better roles or roles later into
(35:58):
her career. Mark saw the substance. I can't comment on
that in her role in it.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
I'll tell you I was never a huge to Mean
More fan, but that really got my attention. She's fantastic
in it and the movie. Some people might find it
a bit much. It's pretty on the nose, and it
lasts about a half an hour longer than you might
think it should, but it's well worth seeing and it
really taps into like David Cronenberg, body horror as well
(36:24):
as some really sharp satire.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
What is not, i'll say an unknown aspect of Hollywood
is women age.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
There are fewer and fewer roles for them. It's nice
to see that. To me, more has i'll say a
rebirth and a resurgence. Even if she didn't win for
the substance. You can see her on Land Man. She's
doing more now than she's done I would say in
the past five to ten years. Of course, she's an
actress of my generation. Saw everything that she did going
(36:55):
back to ghost and before that. I think she's a
part of the brat pack, you could say. So she's
always been a part of my cinematic life, if you will.
But it's nice to see her have the resurgence, which
is usually reserved, unfortunately and unfairly for male actors.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
And honestly, I was shocked. I thought she had least one,
at least two awards passed as long as she's been
in the game.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
That really shocked me.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And I agree with you too, Like I never saw
her as a popcorn actress, Like I didn't know you know,
because yeah, she did rom coms and like, you know,
kind of sappy stuff. But they were, I mean, from
what I saw, they were pretty heavy roles. But I
can't say this about Hollywood. It will it will try
your self confidence at every turn.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
If you don't have.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
An unbelievable or even an unrealistically positive view of yourself,
this business.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Will destroy you.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
You have to be sure of who you are at
every turn, and you can't look for outside.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Just outside support. You know, if you're unsure of yourself,
the business is going to eat you up.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
It's even worse than radio. I don't know. I don't know.
Do you think well the stuff that I've heard over
the years, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Okay, if you don't have a strong sense of self,
you can easily throw into towel in this business. I
was gonna say yeah, because I mean, there's so much
rejection getting up to where I am now. But I
think to Mark's point, the difference is not only do
you have to get rejections, but it's based on some
of it's based.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
On your looks. So it's like, yeah, that's a little
bit worse.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Well, and you have to have a really overpowering compulsion
to stay in it. Because careers, it's the exception for
a career to last any length of time at all,
in television, film or radio. You've got to really just
it has to be something that you must do.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, this business will move on without you in a heartbeat.
Everyone is replaceable, and there's always someone newer, younger, cuter,
better looking, less expensive, waiting to take your place. It's
not fair, but it's a fact. Thank goodness, I got
Mark Runner to make me feel good about myself till
(39:15):
the end. We'll see you tomorrow. K IF I am

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And let's talk about some of the box office returns
this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I gotta say I had missed. Let me start in
the middle of the pack. Coming in at number five
this week is Wicked. I sat down and watched Wicked
with my wife. And here's how we came to the movie.
My wife went with a friend to see the stage
production at the Pantages the day after New Year's She
(00:32):
went with a friend.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I had already seen it. Long story.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I had tickets because of work when we interviewed Clifton
Davis a year or so ago and we got tickets
to go. She couldn't go, so I went by myself
that evening. She got a chance to see it on
January second. We both watched the movie together Saturday night
at home.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And I have to say this, I didn't have high.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Expectations from it because I'm I'm not a big fan
of musicals coming to the screen. It usually doesn't work,
it doesn't really translate. But I can say this at
the risk of hyperbole, and I said this to Tu Wallas,
so I'm not just making this up. I do think
that Wicked, the movie version will end up being an
(01:23):
American classic. And I know that's recency bias. I know
that I am, you know, just coming off of seeing it.
But I had someone sitting next to me who had
just seen it in the theater and she was swayed. Accordingly,
I had seen it in the theater, and I love
(01:43):
what I saw on the screen. And the budget for
Wicked was one hundred and fifty million dollars, and you
would think what was on screen was at least three
hundred and fifty million dollars when you judge, like okay, well,
Dune was two hundred and fifty million dollars and the
Avengers movies were two hundred something. And you see the
the majesty of what they put on screen with Wicked,
the costumes and the set design and also the special effects.
(02:06):
I'm thinking there's no way they could have done that
movie for one hundred and fifty million. My only drawback,
my only concern, the only thing that I didn't like,
and I said that even before I saw it. From
Tuala's review, the movie ends, Part one is what would
have been the intermission with the live show, and it
was and for me it felt incomplete.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
That's the only thing I didn't like.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes, it was at a stopping point, if you will,
in the story, but it didn't tell the whole story.
And I know what's coming after that, so it left
me feeling a little bit empty. But after you get
the second half and you put it together, and it
will be required viewing that you watch them both together.
I know what's coming. And the second act is even
(02:52):
better than the first act. I think this will go
down as an American classic. The second act is better.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't want to give too much away,
but you see how this sets up the story of
the Wizard of Oz. You get even more still in
the blanks of Dorothy's story and the people that she meets.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Wow, okay, okay, I'm excited, and that comes out again.
They shout him back to back. Right, So we get
the second one this year, same time, I believe, second
week of November.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah, I would have much rather than came out like
four months apart.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Okay, don't make me wait the literal year to see
the second part, since they're not even gonna stay in
theaters all that long. Why do you have to make
everyone wait, that I would have much rather they put this,
let's say, in Spring. I think this would have been
a good movie for Spring. But you know, Wicked slash
Wizard of Oz. They wandered around the holidays.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And to your point, yeah, it was me and my
dad dreamed the movie last night and the first thing
that you see advertises Rent Wicked now, and he's like,
it's already available, Mike, Well, yeah, how.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Fast it is. That's how fast it is.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's gross six hundred and eighty million worldwide, four hundred
and fifty million domestically, two hundred and thirty internationally. And
to give you specifics, it's been in theaters a total
of seven weeks. That's long by you know, contemporary standards,
but not long by historical standards. You used to have
movies in theaters for five and six months. The fact
(04:24):
that it's made it to seven weeks and still in theaters,
it's still in more than three thousand theaters.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
In fact, it went up one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Ten this past weekend, even though you can watch it
on streaming.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So there is renewed interest. Part of that I think
is because because of the Golden Globes. But a one
hundred and ten theater increase seven weeks in and it's
available on streaming now. I'll tell you that film has
legs coming here. At number one this week was Mofassa
The Lion King. Sorry, I don't get into the Steve
Live Action. I just can't. I just can't.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, I can't do that. Number two was Sonic. Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Mufossa had twenty three million in its third week. Sonic
the Hedgehog three twenty one million in its third week.
Sonic has a total gross of three hundred and thirty
seven million dollars worldwide.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
With Foster.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
The Lion King has a total of four hundred and
seventy six million worldwide. The Lion King will probably get well, yeah,
it will cross a half a billion, which is great,
makes money for it. It just won't get any of
my money. Sonic the Hedgehog is doing well enough. Well,
they'll probably be a fourth movie. Haven't seen the first
three from I understand there's already a fourth movie. There's
(05:43):
gonna they set it up for the fourth. And this
last one was awesome, great, Okay, okay, so this is
a second awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Look.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
My son is literally telling me I'm insane for not
watching the foosh and you're saying it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say this. You can have fun
with it if you don't, if you don't like know
the actual video game story of it. But they did
such a good job at keeping the characters exactly as
what they were in the video game. I was really
impressed with the second one when they it's not a
spoiler when they introduced Knuckles, because well, now I'd be
spoiling it, but the way they portrayed him was perfection.
(06:19):
And then this one, you know, they it was basically
Sonic versus Shadow, which he's like badass. But yeah, it's
it's gonna there's gonna be a fourth one. They already
introduced two more characters that are in the original game,
So yeah, I would record it's honestly, because you like
movies and you like anime cartoons and stuff, I think
you would actually enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
No, So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
On New Year's Eve, we watched Sonic one and two.
The family's what we did because my son kept talking
about this third one and we all wanted to excommunicate
him from the family. So, wow, it was so bad.
It was so bad.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I guess well because we're he well he's younger than
I am, but I grew up with the game, and
it's just like they did it to a t.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
That's what he says. He did it exactly. Okay. See
I didn't play the game. That's why. Yeah, there might
not be there's to disconnect there.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, so unless you just go maybe if you know,
get some innebriate, get a little kne braided, maybe it's
more fun for you. But yeah, for a fan of
the game and the way they held the storyline, they
couldn't have done better. Shout out to Mark Ronner. Coming
in at number three this week is No Sfaratu. Oh
what's the total?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Thirteen million domestically have brought it this week, but worldwide
has brought in one hundred million, sixty nine million domestically.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And here's something else which is interesting. It increased by
one hundred and forty theaters. It is a word of mouthfilm,
which brought it over three three and thirty two theaters,
so it is gaining in momentum. Coming in at number
four is Mowana too, still doing Gangbusters. It's at nine
(08:01):
hundred and sixty million worldwide. It will break a billion.
The company will make sure that it gets over a billion.
They'll buy up the tickets of dB. I was gonna
see it until, like until he cut to Walla's review.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, I can't say I was gonna see it, but
you know, because the first one was great. But yeah,
I'm not gonna see it. A complete unknown coming in
at number six. We talked about Wicket at number five.
That's the Bob Dylan movie. It's doing decent as forty
one million domestically. It brought in eight million this week
and its second week probably overperforming. Actually Baby Girl at
(08:35):
number seven, Gladiator two at number eight, And if I
didn't say it before, let me just say it again.
I was so underwhelmed by that movie. I like Denzel Washington,
but it wasn't like Denzel Washington. It was it was
Denzel Washington. It was Denzel being Denzel with a New
York accent, yeah, ancient Rome. And he made it very
clear he was not even trying to do the accent,
(08:57):
so that doesn't bother me. It just seemed like there
were really no high moments. There was no great tension,
It was no great story to be told.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Agree it was just boring. Well there's a difference.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Well, I think it was unexceptional, but it was still
entertaining enough to make it worth a watch.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
What with the bad boons and the sharks.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, that was pretty That was pretty nuts.
But yeah, because I'm a guy who has to watch
stuff in order, kind of like you guys, I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Me and my dad watched the first one last two
three weeks ago, and then we went to see the
second one. We said the same thing. It was fun,
but the first one was definitely way better. Yeah, I
didn't think it seemed like the movie bent over backwards
to connect to the first movie.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
And I don't want to give it away. I just
didn't buy it. I didn't believe it. And by the
end I didn't care about it. I didn't care who
was going to be Emperor of Rome. I just didn't care.
And the way they tied all that together and the
summation of the movie, it was like, eh, okay, I
(10:01):
didn't buy the dual emperors.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
They were just kids, they were just they were snot
nosed kids, they were brats.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I didn't believe that they would actually rule over the
Roman Empire.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I was pleasantly surprised by the main guy, Paul Pascal.
He was better than I expected him to be. Pedro,
Pedro Pascal, Paul. Well, there's two Pascal's, right me, Pedro Pascal. Funny.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You know what now that I think it is?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I think I did the same thing when I reviewed
it for the run A report when the weekend it
came out. Uh, two guys with suspiciously similar names starring
in this movie. Something's rigged here. But the main guy
who who we followed throughout the pictures, Yeah, I think
he did a good job. That's Paul mescal and he
he I believe, isn't he Richard Harris's son?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Is? I believe he's.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I'll have to look it up, but I'm not looking
at any but I thought he really He brought a
little bit more charisma to the to the part than
I had anticipated just by seeing stills from the movie
ahead of time.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I liked him in it.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I liked Joaquin Phoenix better and that type of role.
But that's just comes down to preference. So you like
the antagonist, do you like the bad guy?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
This explains plenty about you actually, Yeah, who doesn't love
the bad guy?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I don't get it. What's the question? I mean, just
to most point, he was brutal like that. I thought
that was a pretty good bad guy. Yeah, yeah, it
was definitely a bad guy. You want to hiss at
in a movie theater?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Oh? Yeah, right, what's there to disagree on? I tend
to root for the good guys.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Oh I don't. Seriously, especially the good guys are stupid.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And without giving too much away, Denzel Washington is not
a good guy.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And he's not quite a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And I didn't know where to fall emotionally with him
as far as what he was doing and why he
presents himself one way and you realize, oh, it's not
that way, and then he gets real complicated, And then
I was is in the anti hero Stephen? What would
you say? He's not an anti hero?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
He he has plots, he has designs, he has revenge,
and I was with him as far as.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Some of the reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Joaquin Phoenix's no, No, I'll talk about Denzel Washington's character, but
you can't say much without spoiling it.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yeah, no, you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But yeah, I kind of I was gonna almost say,
when you brought him up, he kind of just seemed
like he was there just for his name, because yes, yes,
he was just in it enough to like, I even
forgot he was in it until the movie got to
his point, and I'm like, oh, that's right, he's in
this movie. And you again, it's not giving anyway, but
you really don't see him too much. He's almost like
a minor character. Yeah, so that's what I would say,
(12:39):
but his but there's a large importance that he plays
his isy.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yeah, maybe we'll get a Gladiator three. Well, no, we will,
I'm sure we will.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Oh we will. Well, what's the total? What to bring in?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It brought in two point six million in this it's
seventh week. It's gross four hundred and forty nine million worldwide,
one sixty eight mestically, two hundred and eighty internationally. There's
gonna be a three. I don't know what the storyline
is gonna be, but they don't care.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I hope it's in three D.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But like Jaws and everything, when you get the third
movies in three exactly, Yes, do they do three D
movies like that anymore?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Occasionally? Okay, you don't see too many. Yeah, funny enough,
the last one I saw was Sonic.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Was it in three D? They did the first one
in three D? Yeah? Oh okay, all right, still not
saying it.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
This Later with Mo Kelly KIM six forty we have
more information about the US Box Office finals from twenty
twenty four and what that says for the industry as
we move forward in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app And during
the last segment, I was caught off guard because my
phone was going crazy. Give you some backstory. At the
beginning of the show, was talking about the way most
story with the guy was caught in a way moo
going in circles and people are saying like, oh my gosh,
how could that happen? And you know, here on Lady
(14:08):
with Mo Kelly, we always talked about Waimo and all
the issues. Well, when I was looking at that story
about the guy who was caught in circles trying to
get on his flight coming back to LA the name
was Mike Johns, I'm thinking, Mike Johns, I know that name.
And then I realized it's one of my fraternity brothers,
a friend for like more than thirty years. We had
(14:29):
lost contact because he's a big tech CEO now making
a whole lot of money and I'm just doing radio,
and you know, lives go in different directions. So I've
reached out to him and tried to figure out if
I could get him on the show tonight. And I
think Taalla's talking to him right now. What's the status
right now? Okay, we can get him on the air.
It'll be good, so we can find out and get
his story firsthand of what happened when he was in
(14:55):
the way. Moost Hey, Stephan, tell me what's going on.
They're still trying to get him up right now, so
we can get his story.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
All right, go ahead and bring him up.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mike Johns, my brother of megasci Fi Fraternity Incorporated.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
How are you doing, my Mike?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
You there, amir? How you doing? Big Dogs?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I am?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I am?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Look I saw this story of you going around in
a weymo.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And I said, that looks like someone for me that
I read the stories like.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Mike Johns is like, that's dog from Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And so he said I got to reach out to
you as soon as possible. Let me get out of
the way. You were in the waimo. You are a
tech CEO of Digital State Mind excuse me, digital mind State.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You are an authority on AI when all this is going,
tell me why did you get in a way moo
and what happened?
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Let's do one better. First of all, I'm a futurist
in tech show. I'm supportive of autonomous vehicles. I am
definitely in full support of that. In this situation, I'm
so much in support of it that me and my
son was actually going to get in this, but it
was me that did it on this goal. On the
second goal around, I chose it just the future is
(16:10):
here and these are things that you're gonna have to
embrace regardless. So the glitches are happening right now. Ultimately
they may get fixed down the line. But in this situation,
I got in the car trying to get back to
the airport, going from Sky Harbor to get to lax.
The first soon as I get in the car, it
(16:32):
goes in a circle and it's like, damn, it should
have went the wrong way this way, but instead it
did this does another circle. The second time, I'm like,
and then I'm thinking, okay, by the second third, is
the prank? Somebody up to a prank? I thought like, literally,
some of my tech buddies might have been one to
(16:53):
do the perfect timing, even though I'm in Scottsdale at
the moment. Somebody might have just set this up. But no,
this is real. This, this car has actually been There's
a glitch, not hacked. There's some sort of glitch that's
going on. And the people from the control towers right
there looking at the satellite systems probably realize, Hey, this
(17:14):
car has been going in multiple circles. Let me go
ahead and contact the customer and try to resolve the matter.
That's what WEIMO was trying to do.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, Mike, just so you know, can't have you cuss.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
But when you were in the car and you're contacting Waymo,
how much time has transpired? I know you took some
time trying to contact Waymo, and it took some time
for them to get back to you.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So how long were you stuck in this loop? Literally?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
So correction, you're in the car, I'm wondering what's going on,
And as I mentioned, before as the car is in
the circle. I believe that from their headquarters. Again, everything
is controlled by GPS and satellites, they were able to
realize that there was a problem. They prompt promptly over
the speaker started to talk to me. I don't even
(18:06):
have known what to do.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Then in that happening, they went ahead and needed my
phone to help fix the problem with the car. That's
where I was pissed.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
They needed your phone.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
In other words, they needed data from you or to
input a command.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
They needed to, you know, like edit your ride, something
fixing with the ride itself to then be able to
go its course. So they needed to actually do something
in the app inside the uh way MO app, and
then they were able to take control and regain control
of the car.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All told, how much time did this take before you
got at least moving towards your destination? Man?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
That was they I guess it was about seven minutes
the longest seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Were you a Let me put it this way, if
you needed to in an emergency, would you have been
able to get out of the car on your.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Own with anger? You know? If it was more of
a if I found myself in a more of a
dangerous or a threatening situation. I would have had to
kick the windows. Absolutely, I would have had to kick
the windows to do something because I couldn't get out
the car.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The car seemed like it was moving about ten miles
an hour? Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Did you try to contact anyone else during this process?
Or you only were in contact with Weimo?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Thank god it was in the parking lot, so I
didn't feel, you know, any danger or anything like that
that I actually filmed it, like, okay, you know again
stunned this is happening. Let me document this, and again,
grace to God, they already knew that they realized that
there was a problem. That's when they promptly got over
(19:53):
their innercount system and started talking that they realized that
there was a problem. I didn't call. I wouldn't even
have known how to contact them.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Did when you miss your flight?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I saw conflicting stories about whether you actually missed your
flight or no.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Yeah, did not miss the flight, Thank god there was
a delay. Did not miss the flight. People that reported
that I missed the flight were people that didn't talk
to me.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, I saw the video that you posted on your
LinkedIn page. So this happened a while ago.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Has Weimo reached out since and said, hey, we're real sorry,
can we give you like free rides for life?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I have not had any communication with Weymo.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Not even like a coupon in your email.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
I haven't received any communication from Weymo.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Damn. Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Now, as a tech professional, you said before I let
you go, you said that, of course this is and
I'm paraphrasing, that this is to be expected with technology.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
There's going to be glitches.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Would you, at this point, as a futurist and tech CEO,
recommend Weimo for a lay citizen like me?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Very good question. I would say this as my answer.
You drive at your risk, at your own risk, at
your own discretion. So a part of me will say, hey,
data is out there that says, you know, autonomous vehicles
are safer than human vehicles. Once you get into the vehicle,
(21:24):
anything can happen, be it autonomous, be it the human,
anything can happen. As the greatest source out there. But
when it comes to me getting back in the call
have car having a sense of security. One of the
things that I stand on is that for everyday citizens,
you do not want to be a part of the experiment,
especially when you're having a pain to be in the experiment.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, damn, I think that pretty much sums it up.
Mike John's CEO, Digital Mind State. How can people reach
out to you and find more of your work?
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Mike John's Dot CEO. We're out here doing a new
thing called Make America Smart with AI, and so the
timing of this again, I'm here at CEF campaigning on
that Make America Smart with AI. There's a new book
that's coming out called Depth of a Job that's really
going to be dialing in on what the world looks
(22:16):
like between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty, which jobs
are going to be here change and also which ones
will be obsolete. Very important because the black and brown
community must pay attention to this. Do not be a
part of the obsolete society.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Mike Johns, you need to come in studio and sit
with us sometime. I know you the LA area. We're
probably like neighbors and I don't even know it. So
let's stay in touchdaw On that.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
I'm love to get with you Inglewood anytime. Say win, Oh, I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Right outside of Inglewood. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
We're neighbors.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
When come on, you're the big man. You don't even
know what you don't know. When I saw your text,
you were the one right out of UNLV helped set
up my first interview. That's my love for you, my
first interview with Warner grew Warner, I remembers, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well let's let's keep this friendship going.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
M hway, let me touch my brother. All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's led with mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty Camfi.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Go' kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The Golden Globes were last night, and I've always been
pretty much nonplussed about the Golden Globes.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We know about the sketchy history.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yes they're trying to turn it around, but I try
to put not put too much stock into the Golden Globes.
I was happy that Colin Ferrell won last night for
the Penguin thought we were vindicated in that regard as
good to see him win.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
It was well deserved. But when I do tune into
award shows, which is not often. I'm always curious to
see how well the host can set the tone with
the opening mono. Usually, if there's a bad opening monologue,
it's gonna be a bad show. It just usually runs
hand in hand.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Last night, when Nicki Glazer did her her monologue, I
could tell a lot of it was written, a lot
of it was off the top of her head, riffing
off the people in the room, and I thought.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
It was really really good.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And it maybe not everyone universally loved it, but I
could tell she was really putting it in work, and
I just wanted to play it.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Good evening, and welcome to the eighty second Golden Globes,

Thank you, And I gotta say, I gotta say this
feels like I finally I made it.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
I'm in a room full of producers at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel, and this time all of my clothes are on.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
So yeah, it was worth it.
Speaker 8 (25:13):

But it's okay.

You'll you'll get them next time if there is one.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Last segment, we were talking about very briefly the Golden Globes.
How I was pleased that Colin Ferrell did win for
his role as the penguin. I enjoyed Nicki Glazer as
a host and also her opening monologue. I thought she
touched on a wide variety of things, didn't play it
too safe, didn't go overboard. I thought she found that
(32:40):
right balance. That's the type of comedy that I really
do appreciate. It was hetty, it was smart.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You saw all the stories in the news, from politics
to entertainment, just everything in between.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
It was really really well done.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
I also took note of an acceptance speech by to
me more and what appreciated about it was she was very,
very vulnerable, and I learned something about her that I'd
never known before. I didn't know that she had such
an insecurity about her look, about her career and about
(33:14):
her talent.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
And here is what she had to say.
Speaker 10 (33:18):
I really wasn't expecting that. I'm just in shock right now.
I've been doing this a long time, like over forty
five years, and this is the first time I've ever
won anything as an actor, and I'm just so humbled
and so grateful. Thirty years ago, I had a producer
(33:41):
tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
At that time I.
Speaker 10 (33:50):
Made that mean that this wasn't something that I was
allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful,
that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't
be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that,
and that corroded me over time to the point where
I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it,
maybe I was complete, maybe I would I've done what
(34:13):
I was supposed to do. And as I was at
kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous,
out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my
desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that
You're not done.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
And I am so grateful to Coralie for.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Trusting me to step in and play this woman, for Margaret,
for being the other half of me that I couldn't have.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
Done without, for looking out for me.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
To the people who've been with me for over thirty years,
Kevin You, Baine, Jason Weinberg, everybody at CAAA, Untitled Lead,
all of the people who stood by me, especially the
people who've believed in me when I haven't believed in myself.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
And I'll just leave you with one thing that.
Speaker 10 (35:03):
I think this movie is imparting is.
Speaker 9 (35:05):
In those moments when we don't think.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
We're smart enough or pretty enough, we're skinny enough, or successful.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
Enough, or basically just not enough.
Speaker 10 (35:14):
I had a woman say to me, just know you
will never be enough, but you can know the value
of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.
And so today I celebrate this as a marker of
my wholeness and of the.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
Love that is.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
Driving me, and for the gift of doing something I
love and being reminded that I do belong.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Thank you so much kind of surprise me because I
never perceived to me more as someone who felt dissatisfied
with the fullness of her career. And that's my interpretation
of it, that she wanted more out of her career,
that she wanted either better roles or roles later into
(35:58):
her career. Mark saw the substance. I can't comment on
that in her role in it.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
I'll tell you I was never a huge to Mean
More fan, but that really got my attention. She's fantastic
in it and the movie. Some people might find it
a bit much. It's pretty on the nose, and it
lasts about a half an hour longer than you might
think it should, but it's well worth seeing and it
really taps into like David Cronenberg, body horror as well
(36:24):
as some really sharp satire.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
What is not, i'll say an unknown aspect of Hollywood
is women age.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
There are fewer and fewer roles for them. It's nice
to see that. To me, more has i'll say a
rebirth and a resurgence. Even if she didn't win for
the substance. You can see her on Land Man. She's
doing more now than she's done I would say in
the past five to ten years. Of course, she's an
actress of my generation. Saw everything that she did going
(36:55):
back to ghost and before that. I think she's a
part of the brat pack, you could say. So she's
always been a part of my cinematic life, if you will.
But it's nice to see her have the resurgence, which
is usually reserved, unfortunately and unfairly for male actors.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
And honestly, I was shocked. I thought she had least one,
at least two awards passed as long as she's been
in the game.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
That really shocked me.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And I agree with you too, Like I never saw
her as a popcorn actress, Like I didn't know you know,
because yeah, she did rom coms and like, you know,
kind of sappy stuff. But they were, I mean, from
what I saw, they were pretty heavy roles. But I
can't say this about Hollywood. It will it will try
your self confidence at every turn.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
If you don't have.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
An unbelievable or even an unrealistically positive view of yourself,
this business.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Will destroy you.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
You have to be sure of who you are at
every turn, and you can't look for outside.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Just outside support. You know, if you're unsure of yourself,
the business is going to eat you up.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
It's even worse than radio. I don't know. I don't know.
Do you think well the stuff that I've heard over
the years, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Okay, if you don't have a strong sense of self,
you can easily throw into towel in this business. I
was gonna say yeah, because I mean, there's so much
rejection getting up to where I am now. But I
think to Mark's point, the difference is not only do
you have to get rejections, but it's based on some
of it's based.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
On your looks. So it's like, yeah, that's a little
bit worse.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Well, and you have to have a really overpowering compulsion
to stay in it. Because careers, it's the exception for
a career to last any length of time at all,
in television, film or radio. You've got to really just
it has to be something that you must do.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, this business will move on without you in a heartbeat.
Everyone is replaceable, and there's always someone newer, younger, cuter,
better looking, less expensive, waiting to take your place. It's
not fair, but it's a fact. Thank goodness, I got
Mark Runner to make me feel good about myself till
