Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
If I am six forty is Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, and the Oscar
nominations are out. And let me just clear up some
misunderstandings and misconceptions before we get into this list. Oftentimes
I may hear from you. You may send me a
message on Instagram or threads at mister mo Kelly, and
it will be something to the effect of I can't
(00:31):
believe you didn't see this or you didn't like this.
And you call yourself a movie reviewer an expert on movies. No,
let me stop you right there. I've never presented myself
as any authority or expert on movies. I intentionally am
very narrow in what I watch because I don't want
to waste time watching bs. I watch movies for escapism.
(00:56):
I don't need to watch anything which reminds me too
much of the real world. I like action, I like adventure,
I like sci fi. That's what I spend most of
my time, and I'm getting into documentaries. I like learning
about things in the past. Now that we have some
ten twenty thirty years of perspective and you get to
talk to some of the people now who are involved
in love documentaries. But I'm not any authority on movies.
(01:21):
I just tell you the stuff that I like and
the stuff that I don't think I like, I don't watch.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So most of the movies I'm letting you know. And
this is not any different from any other year.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Most of the movies on the list to get an
Oscar I've not seen, and I am okay with that.
There is probably a movie or nine or ten that
are going to win awards and I will never have
any desire to see because they're just not for me.
I like to spend my time watching movies which are
(01:52):
going to be.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's kind of like junk food.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I watch movies for the most part in a junk
food sort of way. It's fulfilling in the moment, doesn't
have to be healthy. I'm not trying to expand my
horizons and learn about this and ah save all that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I just want to be entertained.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
For example, in a category of Best Picture, I probably
can't even pronounce half these movies. Is it Honora Ana Anora?
Haven't seen it? Have no idea what it's about don't care,
won't see it, you wouldn't like it, Thank you very much. Okay,
see we can just skip along. See there's no need
for me to see it. Wasted time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Just move on. I'll never get that time back.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well right there, And there are a lot of things
that I see. It's like, gosh, I'm more mad that
I wasted my time with it. I'm really particular about
wasting time with stuff that I know is not even in.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
My sphere of enjoyment.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
The Brutalist, I don't know what is it about Mark,
you've probably seen it. It's about three and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That was funny. He was a rib shot. Give him
the rip shot for that. Grudgingly.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh wow, Well it's like a cost you something is
your teeth getting pulled? I haven't seen The Brutalist, But
as you know, we just got our sag After screeners
and that's among them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But who has three and a half hours to sit
and watch a movie.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
For those who don't know, CAF is a sag After station,
so we're all members of sag After.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You didn't seem to mind Flowers of the Christ Moon.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
What was it that movie that was the Flowers movie
was that, Martin Square.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Says, yes, whatever the title may have been. Yes, No,
I didn't mind that so much. And that was another
long one.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
You really had to settle in for that one, and
you know, get the circulation going back in your caboose afterward,
and you need to give yourself a ram shot, give
yourself something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
We're all members of sag After, and if you don't know,
they will give us a link or actual physical DVDs.
I can tell you this is not a big secret.
You know that we get review movies. If we're going
to vote for sag After Awards, that's all.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm gonna have to split the brutalist stuff into a
couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
At least.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That's a long one, A complete unknown. I know that's
the Bob Dylan story. I'll eventually get around to it,
because I do like music biopics. I just haven't gotten
around to. My daughter loved it really, Okay, she absolutely
loved it. Is she actually into Dylan?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
No, she's into Timothy sham Laxlaina being banged. But she
said she actually learned a lot about someone who she
had never heard of before and is now more into research.
She went along and just to research so much about it.
She was like, this was fascinating. I did not know
he did so much for music. She walking around the
house talking like Dylan now like, hey, Dan, I want
(04:44):
to go to another movie.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Nah no, not yet at least Conclave haven't seen it.
Maybe we'll see it very good. Hey, Dune Part two
hated it trash. That movie was ass. It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Absolutely. Now how it got in for Best Picture.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
That is because this is still large in part a
foreign leaning voting body, and they're like Villa Villa Kova.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah and yeah, yeah, and this immediate pat is haven't
seen it and may watch it at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That looks really good.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, I just haven't got around to it. And I'm
a fan of Zoe's. Do you like the musicals? Do
you I love the music. We've already been over this, Yes,
we do. You've seen clips of it. This looks good.
And from my understanding, Zoe is showing some Zeldnia.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I want to so she shows some.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It's like, I never in my life did I expect
to see Zoe sell Donya's ass.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So that was my only chance to see it. Okay,
moving that up to the top of the list. Yeah,
not the music. No, it's a long lingering shot too.
You know, you know it's not a body double. And
I showed up for work today.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
M h, I'm still here. I'm not watching it. I
thought you're saying like you're here right. No, the movie wait,
I don't even know if I know what that is.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Thank you. That's my point, Nickel. Boys.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now we didn't get a screener of that. The substance
mark you said it was very good. Yeah, but it's
not for everyone. I'll tell you it's it gets pretty
gory at the end, and Wicked saw that loved it.
It's not gonna win. I just don't think it's an
Oscar type Best Picture movie.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I think it's going to be the Emily Badads. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I think so too. That's what everything is kind of
moving in that direction. Before we go to break very quickly.
Best Actor Adrian Brody for The Brutalist, he's not gonna win.
Timothy shamalay l'am lama ding Dong were a complete unknown,
He's probably going to win.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Those kinds of movies are Oscar bait, the biopics, and I'll.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Tell you why, because if you look at the other
people in the category, none of them have any heat
behind them. Coleman Domingo love him as an actor. He's
not winning for sing sing No, Ralph finds Conclave, he's
not going to win. Sebastian stan love him. He's not
going to win. For the Apprentice, not going to happen.
Has anybody here seen The Apprentice now on that?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
They really have? And that's the part. You need to
have a campaign behind your candidacy. No pun intended to
win an oscar.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, that one's got an actual like a shunning in
the business because there everybody's afraid to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the other categories of the movies that we've not seen.
As we discussed the oscars, k if I Am six
forty were live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. That was fun.
Give me my fucking bitch shot. We're live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Kelly six live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and is
we're continuing our conversation about the recently released Oscar nominations.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Just want to remind everyone we like movies. We don't
see every movie. We don't discuss movies within the context
of being.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Experts and understanding the difference between an artist and an
awe toeur. I'm just telling you about the movies that
we like and hear the nominations. Most of these movies
we have not seen, have no desire to see. Don't
need you to try to convince us to see them,
because we're not We're simple like that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, Mark isn't.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Mark was an actual film critic, so whatever, whatever it's
different for't, don't try to blow up his ego.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's already out of control, all right, clearly Best supporting
Actor you'a borisov Anora.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I don't know which part he played, but it was
a movie that was like three quarters just people shouting
at each other and swearing.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Karen Colchin like him as an actor, A real pain.
I have not.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I think that's on Hulu now, so it should be easy,
and we have that on our screeners as well.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That looks like it should be fun. Edward Norton, I
didn't know he was still acting. I'm being serious. I
thought he trashed his own career. I'm being serious because
despite all of his talent, his reputation was that he
was very difficult to work with and he wasn't getting
the type jobs that I'm quite sure he was accustomed to.
So I have not seen him in anything, and I
(09:27):
haven't seen a complete unknown yet, but I know he's
a quality actor.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I'm being serious. I know he's a quality actor. Well,
you get fired from the Hulk. It's all downhill, and
I think it's one of these things where he slightly
changed his physical appearance in a biopic, So that's more
Oscar bait.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Always, Guy Pierce for The Brutalist, and Jeremy Strong if
you know succession, he's up for the Apprentice. I really
can't call this category because I've seen nothing in it,
absolutely nothing, But there is a lot of interest in
(10:05):
Best Actress. Cynthia Arrivo for Wicked, possibly Carla Sophia Gascon
for Amelia Perez. I think that's your winner, Mikey Madison
for Anura, do me More for the Substance, and I
think she's my dark horse.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
She's had a lot of.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The sentiment behind her and a lot of times you
win the oscar for the thing that is not the
greatest thing you've done in your career. It's just that
the sentiment was with you that year.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
She could get it the oscars.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You're welcome, and STEP's not going to give you anything.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We all should have gotten one, one for your joke
and two for our follow up.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I just didn't get it, are you? Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No? I didn't. He's pleading. Oh, I thought you were
trying to know. I'm not talking about you said I
didn't get out doing anything. You don't know what we
mean when we say that she could.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Get it, the trophy, the oscar, right along, moving right along, innocent.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm sorry. Make it so we can do rim shot.
I think he deserves you.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
We need to take the power back from him. Yeah,
I'm getting that in here.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The best actress in a supporting role Monica Barbara for
a Complete Unknown, Ariana Grande for Wicked. I think she
may win one here. Is she the best actress? Probably not,
but I think she may win one here. Felicity Jones
for the Brutalist, is Bell Roslini for Conclave, Zoe Saldana
(11:51):
Amelia Perez.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's the chief competitions between those two.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But this is one I definitely want to actually argue
with you guys about best animated feature, because we usually
have something to say about that.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Flow f l o w fl o. I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I think that was on Netflix and they go in
the theaters for like a little bit or something cartoon
about the waitress from that old Alice show. Kiss My Grits,
you fool. You definitely not gonna get that. You've never
seen the show. Okay, there's a new girl in town
and she's feeling good.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's definitely nothing, absolutely nothing, now you kiss my grits.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, no, no, inside Out too.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We know that made a lot of Inside Out Too
was flawless. That was it's gonna be beautiful.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Because there's the wild Robot in there as well. No, no,
I'm sorry, inside Out too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I dig that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Everyone is all like, no, you gotta see. Here's the
problem with the wild Robot. No one was going to
go see the Wild Robot. Everyone kept saying, you gotta
go see it's really good. If you have to keep
twist people's arm to go and see it because it
seems and looks silly, that's not going to make it
inside out to us a triumph. It is a true triumph,
no doubt. It's one of that you have seen a triumph?
(13:11):
Was it a tour divorced too?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yes? Wow, it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Any other superlatives out there you like to throw at it,
cliche phrases, anything.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's really good. I didn't see it. You know why,
because you're an adult?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes. In fact, that's the reason.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Memoir of a Snail have no idea, No way, Wallace
and Grommet Vengeance most so, no way, no, no. The
first one wasn't even that good. Those are fun.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
How would you know? You're an adult?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They've been on in the room while I was passing,
all right, Jimmy Swagger, Hey, that's a.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Deep that's a low blow. What do you want me
to say? Mary and Barry? Is that better?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I don't want you to say anything, which is awkward
since it's your show.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Best Animated Short Film. I haven't seen any of these.
I don't think anyone has seen those, any of those.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Nobody ever sees the short Nobody Best Director, Honora Sean Baker,
The Brutalist, Brady Corbett, a complete unknown, James Mangold, media
Perez Jacques Adiod probably mispronounced it in the substance Carle fagyite.
Why can't you just have an easy name to pronounces it?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Carle foggy f A R G E A T. Let's
stay away from pronouncing that one.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, okay, But I don't get the sense that this
is going to be one of those legendary Oscar telecasts
because it doesn't have the type of star power top
to bottom that you would want in an Oscar ceremony.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Who's hosting? Isn't Connor O'Brien hosting it? That's gonna be greater?
You don't think he's funny, No, I think he's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't know if the telecast overall is going to
have the type of eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Nor does it lend to his funny Yeah, I don't
see it lends to what he does. Oh, I'm rooting
for Conan. I think he's great. All right, No, he
is great. I just don't know. I think this is
going to be one of those things that's going to
be like he shouldn't have done it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, I don't know how much upside is is out
there for him, But you know, could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And see. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
They don't have achievement in visual effects, Alien romulus better man.
I refuse to see that Dune Part two, Kingdom of
the Planet of the Apes and Wicked.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It probably will go to Doune Why Doom one something?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, because because it's visually it's a grand epic. Yeah,
it's kind of one of those Oscar movies. Like, okay, cinematography,
visual effects, it's one of those movies.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
The award for Best screensaver, oh no, yeah, but also Wicked.
Wicked should get that. Wicked should because Wicked was beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous.
I'm seeing that on Imax. I'm like, this is breathtaking
to a look at it.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I have a feeling that although Wicked had what maybe
ten nominations, it could be one of those nights where
it has ten nominations and two wins.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like Best Costume, man, yeah, best Song or something like.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It's not going to get Yes, it's in the top
five of everything, but I don't know if it wins anything.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, that's all I'm saying. And I loved it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I just look at oscars and momentum and history. I
don't know if Wicked is going to be Oscar celebrated. No,
it's too popular. Yeah, maybe too popular. Yeah, they're not
really inclined. It's almost like the Oscars are more so snobbish, like, no,
we need to have a less, less regarded movie that
(16:57):
that the casual, laid peon wouldn't be able to appreciate
because it's beyond them.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
What principle is behind your refusal to see Better Man?
Which is a movie about a pop star chimp?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Is that what that one is? Yes, about Robbie Williams.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So I don't even know who it is, and no
Americans do, No, And it's like it's the cgi chip
who's standing in for him and he's quasi semi autobiographical
talking about his story and the mistakes he made, and
the whole idea and concept is just ridiculously stupid to me.
I don't want to even try to waste two hours
(17:35):
watching them, Not in a theater, no, not even at home,
not even drunk, No, so closed minded, I say, I
don't need to delve into someone else's problems.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's that's a movie.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Like I'd have to just read Wikipedia as we went
along because of big references to places, times, and events
situations that I would have no reference point.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know who Robbie Williams is.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I mean, I'm not seeing it either, but I think
the two of you should see it.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's Later with mo Kelly. Not only was that unfunny,
it was unnecessary and unworthy of a rim shot. I'll
decide that KFIM six forty, We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. Don't don't stefan no no, no, no no, don't
don't don't touch it, move your move your finger.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But that's sounds wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
K f I AM six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Talking about movie reviews.
I think it was yesterday, Yeah, yesterday, had a little
time multitasking, eating breakfast, doing some laundry. Perfect situation to
watch a movie on Netflix. I decided to watch Back
(19:01):
in Action. Kind of a pun intended for Jamie Fox
as he was in the midst of filming that project
when he had his stroke that we told you about
that he and this people wanted to deny when it
happened had a stroke in the creation and filming of
that movie, starting alongside Cameron Diaz. If you don't know,
(19:23):
very succinctly, it's about these two spies who fall in love,
start a family, and decide they want to get out
of the life, until the life brings them back in
like fifteen years later.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Here's the Doubt and Dirty.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If Netflix was not raising its prices and I.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I'm trying to be nice, Toula.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's bad. It's really bad. It's because I like Cameron Diaz,
I like Jamie Fox. I really hated this movie. It
was insufferable. It was unbelievable. Everything was an attempted joke
and punchline. And when everything is an attempt to be funny,
that means nothing is funny. And when everything is unseerious,
(20:11):
then nothing is serious. And it was just unbelievable. They
had two kids who were who were supposedly very smart
in their own right and that's how they're presented, but
they were so dumb and couldn't figure out that their
parents weren't actually regular parents.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
It was literally a very bad Disney film with cursing
in it.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Ah Yes, and it was hard to watch.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Because it was hard to take it serious because the
storyline is something that Mark and all of his adulthood
would say. I don't watch films like that. You know why,
because I'm an adult and it's one of those films.
I felt like you fel marked about cartoons. That's what
I feel about this because it was cartoonish. The acting
was cartoonish. Their chemistry wasn't believable, not for a minute,
(20:56):
and the storyline it just really dreads the imagination in
terms of believability. And it was almost like, why is
this Why who's green lit this film?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I want to pick up on a point you made
as far as lack of chemistry. Cameron Diaz and Jamie Fox,
despite their acting talent, it seemed like they were just
friends from high school. There was at no point did
I ever believe that they were ever a couple, much
less married and in love and would take this huge
(21:31):
step of getting out of the spy business so they
can raise a family. Part of it is because there
are on screen interaction suggested they had no chemistry. Also
in the actual script, and this is not really giving
away anything, there's no affection between them and any point.
In fact, one of the jokes was you think there's
an affection, but it really isn't.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, they actually hold hands. That's the most affection they
show each other.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Because and then there's, of course, there's a cheesy spoiler
alert kind of joke where youth where the kids think
they're getting it on, but they're really next door fighting
or sparring boxing. Yeah, And it's like, you know, and
of course they're making all the requisite you know, love
making sounds, but they're you know, the kids are.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Like, oh my god, mom and dad get a room.
They're literally in their room. It's that type of stupid
where you're.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Like, I don't get why I'm watching this outside of
my curiosity to see what film Jamie Fox was making
when he suffered that that tragic event in his life
and God blessed for, you know, his recovery.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But man, yeah, it's I just I would love to
see the business plan for Netflix, in other words, how
much they paid for it, what was the cost of
creating it and producing it, and whether that's a viable
business model long term, if they're going to give us
more stuff like that, if they spent like one hundred
(23:02):
million on that. Yeah, I understand why Netflix needs to
raise his prices. It's it's it was a hard watch
because the jokes were really cringe worthy, the action wasn't
really believable. The fight choreography in this you know, mission
impossible James Bourne, James Bond, I mean, Jason Bourne, James
(23:24):
Bond World. We have a higher expectation of this choreography.
In the Spy World. Cameron Diaz is not beating anybody's ass.
So you guys both watched the whole movie from start
to finish. Yes, I was in the room while I
was playing. I was trying to read news, answer emails,
do other stuff, and I kept on asking could you
watch that later after I'm gone to work, because it
(23:46):
was it was during the part where they're they're plowing
through bad guys, just dispatching him with expert hand to
hand time. I don't even know I saw a good
chunk of it, or it was on at least, And
that to me looks like the kind of thing that
we're gonna get with AI generating movie plots. And I
say this because I'm not trying to be an a
(24:06):
hole and mean spirited. I like Jamie Fox as a
talented talent. I think he's one of the most talented
people in the world. Altogether. We talk about stand up comedy, acting, dramatic, comedic,
put it all together. Jamie Fox is a total package.
I like Cameron Diz. I did not like this movie.
It just seemed like it was unseerious and no one
(24:27):
was really trying.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Everybody makes a stinker now and then, or just walks
through a roll for a paycheck. But this one, to
me looked just like a nasty one.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
And spoiler alert, they left it open for a sequel. Yeah, no,
they literally told you. They told you in.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
The end they said, hey, you know, we have to
do a sequel, right basically with the line that they
gave it was yes, we're already gonna do another one
now again. Maybe kids will like this because outside of
a couple of f bobs, this film is strictly for kids.
You have to be twelve and under for this to
(25:07):
be believable or even entertaining. You know, you like fart
jokes and mom and dad doing embarrassing things.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
By by by, I mean with the binoculars with built up.
It's one of those kind of movies where you're like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
And because maybe because I'm a parent, because I'm like
my children, never in their life did they act like this.
I don't relate to these overly fictionalized relationships.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I just got it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
This is a scene where the fourteen year old daughter
is in a nightclub somehow, some way with her also
underage boyfriend, and no one knows drinking areything. Is a
full on club. It's not like some underground rave. It
is a full on club with a bouncer. And so
the parents, Jimmy Fox and Cameron Diaz, come in to
get their daughter, who's fourteen now, and they get get
(26:00):
the daughter, and these guys who are in the club
are gonna say, well, it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Looks like she belongs to me, or it looks like
she's an adult.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Or belongs here, and they're going to step in and
try to keep the parents from taking their daughter, yes,
which of course, they have to dispatch these clubgoers with
their highly trained martial arts in a world where everyone
has got a camera, and.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So guess what they're exposed now.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
The people that they've been hiding from her back after him,
get this trash and just bury it it, Just bury
it like a dog.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
They were the dumbest spies I've ever seen, like not
understanding how technology and cameras work. That's all I can say.
If you want to see it, fine, enjoy yourself. Just
have really, really really low, like floor level expectations for
the movie. That's all I can say. I don't have
anything funny to say because there's nothing funny in the movie.
There's really nothing funny. Even though every line was a joke,
(26:59):
nothing was funny laugh once, not at all, not at all.
Based on what I saw, you were both too kind.
Maybe maybe I Am six forty were live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Before we get out here, just I had a period.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I want to put on this discussion with Back in Action,
the new Netflix movie which stars Jamie Fox and Cameron
Diaz quick reset.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I like Jamie Fox as a talent.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I think there's probably no one more talented individually in
the world, no exaggeration like Cameron Diaz.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I like most of her movies, damn near all of them.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know from There's something about Mary on Down a
bad teacher.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Just like all of her work.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I can understand how on paper, bringing the two together
could be comedic magic, but it wasn't there. There was
just nothing really funny about it. And the only thing
that I liked about the movie and Twalla didn't even
like this. There is an appearance and it's she's in
a credit so it's not like it's a cameo. There's
an appearance by Glenn Close, and she is in a
(28:09):
different portion of her career. She's not taking these super
serious roles just like it was more akin to Guardians
of the Galaxy. You know, her hair is a different color,
her disposition is all together different. It's it's a comedic role.
I like what she contributed to it. Twala, you did not.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I didn't like it at all. I didn't like it because.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
It was literally too campy and too buffoonish for Glenn
Close to be it was it I felt uncomfortable watching it,
like it had me feeling like, man, they made Glenn
Close do this, Like is she hard up?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Is she?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Is she suffering? Is she so they can put her?
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Why?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What the like?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
This is Glenn Close, for God's sake, she shouldn't be
reduced to being, you know, a joke or a punchline
in a film that's not funny.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Now there was excuse me, there was a red flag
for me. And this is not to be mean to
the actor. Kyle Chandler. You'll know him if you see him.
He's been in everything. But just about every Kyle Chandler
movie I've seen, whether he was a star or not,
the movie usually wasn't that good. I'm not saying causation.
I am saying correlation. Kyle Chandler, he's a decent actor.
(29:30):
I'm just saying the movies that he's in, it just
doesn't you know from You're not saying that it's him.
You're just saying that movies he happens to be in.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He might. He might be the Jeks.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Okay, I'm saying he is one of the Godzilla movies,
King of Monsters. I think I can't remember. But it's
just what I'm noticing. A you know, you think he
might be a cooler. Maybe maybe maybe I had the
same reaction seeing Glenn. It was like, you're better than this,
(30:02):
you don't have to do this. Who do you owe? Irs?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Maybe like someone's got picture something I don't know, Stephan.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That was funny. Stephan is like he's not even paid
this show.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
He's gone, yeah, he said, like I'm over there clipping
his toenails with his foot up on the desk and everything.
His headphones aren't even on. It's like he has no
idea what's happening on the show. I gotta be cussing
up a storm and he wouldn't even be able to
push the dump button.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Now, don't laugh, now, Stephan, this is the whole point.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You have to actually participate in the show to know
if it's actually funny in the moment, and you can't
shame him not after the fact.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Goodness.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
So yeah, that's all I have to say about Back
in Action. It's look, it's it's a streaming property.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But the same week in which Netflix is hiking its fees,
I think it hits a little bit harder and it
makes it a little.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Bit more difficult for me to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Wait a minute, I forgot Okay, Netflix, they hikes a side.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Did you watch the second part of Cobra Kai. I
didn't even know it dropped. Yeah, the third part comes out,
I think next one. No, it's out now. Oh, I
didn't know the third The Final The final final thing
is out. Now, that's what I'm gonna watch that tonight.
I was trying to see a minute.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
There was no notification on like you know, what's new,
what's coming that kind of thing, because I know the
second season of The Night Agent and.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
The Recruit got the notification this morning.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I didn't see anything about Cobra Kai the very final
final season season portion season season. Oh and by the way,
back in Action was made for seventy million. The movie
would have bombed in theaters. There's no way that movie's
gonna make seventy million.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Oh that's right off, yeah, oh no, no, no, no no.
It says that the part three premiere is on February thirteen.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Okay, I was gonna say, but but I keep seeing
I keep seeing watch it now.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah, but there are three portions to the season, so
we've only seen part one and part two. I gonna
say it like this, No way I could have missed that,
because there would have been some sort of lead up
and hype to it.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah. Oh no, you know, maybe maybe it's just that
they've just dropped the trailer.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That makes sense. They dropped the trailer.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
For a part three Okay, Okay, you should watch The
Night Agent, because here's what's going to happen. I'm going
to go home after work and start watching it and
just text you all night. I'll be up.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Cheers, sir.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
You just took the sport out of it. I was
hoping that this would be unwelcome. It doesn't matter. With
the exception of my mother and my wife.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
The only people who can actually get through on my
phone nobody, so you wouldn't get through, so you can
text all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm not going to get a notification. I'm not going
to get a buzz or anything. You're not on that list.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I'll come to your door tall and I was just
talking about that. We don't answer the door unless we're
expecting people to come over.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
You know, Look, do not go to a black person's
door uninvited. Just let you know, well, what if you're
half black, because I think I know I said, it
doesn't matter who you are. I'm saying, do not go
to the black person's door. If you're half black, that
makes you black. So I wouldn't show up at your
door because I would know. You don't do that. You
do not come by unannounced. What happens. If you do,
(33:14):
you might get ignored, you might get shot. Nothing good.
I'm being serious. Now, well, no, I need to know
the rules since I am essentially black. Now no, you are.
It's the one drop rule. Yeah, okay, I believe in that.
Yeah okay, I need to know what to do. So
this is good that we covered this tonight.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, right now, Stefan, he can do whatever he wants,
or we can show up to Stephan's house. There won't
be any consequences. He's not gonna shoot us. He'll probably
open the door and say can I help you. You
wouldn't even know we were there, that's true. He doesn't
pay an attention to the show.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That No, don't laugh at the joke.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's true. I wouldn't look at the ties on point
with that one. Ka if I am six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
App Stimulating Talk for Independent Thought.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I and k os T HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County,
Live
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Everywhere on the Younger Radio
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
If I am six forty is Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, and the Oscar
nominations are out. And let me just clear up some
misunderstandings and misconceptions before we get into this list. Oftentimes
I may hear from you. You may send me a
message on Instagram or threads at mister mo Kelly, and
it will be something to the effect of I can't
(00:31):
believe you didn't see this or you didn't like this.
And you call yourself a movie reviewer an expert on movies. No,
let me stop you right there. I've never presented myself
as any authority or expert on movies. I intentionally am
very narrow in what I watch because I don't want
to waste time watching bs. I watch movies for escapism.
(00:56):
I don't need to watch anything which reminds me too
much of the real world. I like action, I like adventure,
I like sci fi. That's what I spend most of
my time, and I'm getting into documentaries. I like learning
about things in the past. Now that we have some
ten twenty thirty years of perspective and you get to
talk to some of the people now who are involved
in love documentaries. But I'm not any authority on movies.
(01:21):
I just tell you the stuff that I like and
the stuff that I don't think I like, I don't watch.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So most of the movies I'm letting you know. And
this is not any different from any other year.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Most of the movies on the list to get an
Oscar I've not seen, and I am okay with that.
There is probably a movie or nine or ten that
are going to win awards and I will never have
any desire to see because they're just not for me.
I like to spend my time watching movies which are
(01:52):
going to be.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's kind of like junk food.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I watch movies for the most part in a junk
food sort of way. It's fulfilling in the moment, doesn't
have to be healthy. I'm not trying to expand my
horizons and learn about this and ah save all that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I just want to be entertained.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
For example, in a category of Best Picture, I probably
can't even pronounce half these movies. Is it Honora Ana Anora?
Haven't seen it? Have no idea what it's about don't care,
won't see it, you wouldn't like it, Thank you very much. Okay,
see we can just skip along. See there's no need
for me to see it. Wasted time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Just move on. I'll never get that time back.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well right there, And there are a lot of things
that I see. It's like, gosh, I'm more mad that
I wasted my time with it. I'm really particular about
wasting time with stuff that I know is not even in.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
My sphere of enjoyment.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
The Brutalist, I don't know what is it about Mark,
you've probably seen it. It's about three and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That was funny. He was a rib shot. Give him
the rip shot for that. Grudgingly.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh wow, Well it's like a cost you something is
your teeth getting pulled? I haven't seen The Brutalist, But
as you know, we just got our sag After screeners
and that's among them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But who has three and a half hours to sit
and watch a movie.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
For those who don't know, CAF is a sag After station,
so we're all members of sag After.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You didn't seem to mind Flowers of the Christ Moon.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
What was it that movie that was the Flowers movie
was that, Martin Square.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Says, yes, whatever the title may have been. Yes, No,
I didn't mind that so much. And that was another
long one.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
You really had to settle in for that one, and
you know, get the circulation going back in your caboose afterward,
and you need to give yourself a ram shot, give
yourself something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
We're all members of sag After, and if you don't know,
they will give us a link or actual physical DVDs.
I can tell you this is not a big secret.
You know that we get review movies. If we're going
to vote for sag After Awards, that's all.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm gonna have to split the brutalist stuff into a
couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
At least.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That's a long one, A complete unknown. I know that's
the Bob Dylan story. I'll eventually get around to it,
because I do like music biopics. I just haven't gotten
around to. My daughter loved it really, Okay, she absolutely
loved it. Is she actually into Dylan?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
No, she's into Timothy sham Laxlaina being banged. But she
said she actually learned a lot about someone who she
had never heard of before and is now more into research.
She went along and just to research so much about it.
She was like, this was fascinating. I did not know
he did so much for music. She walking around the
house talking like Dylan now like, hey, Dan, I want
(04:44):
to go to another movie.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Nah no, not yet at least Conclave haven't seen it.
Maybe we'll see it very good. Hey, Dune Part two
hated it trash. That movie was ass. It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Absolutely. Now how it got in for Best Picture.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
That is because this is still large in part a
foreign leaning voting body, and they're like Villa Villa Kova.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah and yeah, yeah, and this immediate pat is haven't
seen it and may watch it at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That looks really good.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, I just haven't got around to it. And I'm
a fan of Zoe's. Do you like the musicals? Do
you I love the music. We've already been over this, Yes,
we do. You've seen clips of it. This looks good.
And from my understanding, Zoe is showing some Zeldnia.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I want to so she shows some.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It's like, I never in my life did I expect
to see Zoe sell Donya's ass.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So that was my only chance to see it. Okay,
moving that up to the top of the list. Yeah,
not the music. No, it's a long lingering shot too.
You know, you know it's not a body double. And
I showed up for work today.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
M h, I'm still here. I'm not watching it. I
thought you're saying like you're here right. No, the movie wait,
I don't even know if I know what that is.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Thank you. That's my point, Nickel. Boys.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now we didn't get a screener of that. The substance
mark you said it was very good. Yeah, but it's
not for everyone. I'll tell you it's it gets pretty
gory at the end, and Wicked saw that loved it.
It's not gonna win. I just don't think it's an
Oscar type Best Picture movie.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I think it's going to be the Emily Badads. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I think so too. That's what everything is kind of
moving in that direction. Before we go to break very quickly.
Best Actor Adrian Brody for The Brutalist, he's not gonna win.
Timothy shamalay l'am lama ding Dong were a complete unknown,
He's probably going to win.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Those kinds of movies are Oscar bait, the biopics, and I'll.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Tell you why, because if you look at the other
people in the category, none of them have any heat
behind them. Coleman Domingo love him as an actor. He's
not winning for sing sing No, Ralph finds Conclave, he's
not going to win. Sebastian stan love him. He's not
going to win. For the Apprentice, not going to happen.
Has anybody here seen The Apprentice now on that?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
They really have? And that's the part. You need to
have a campaign behind your candidacy. No pun intended to
win an oscar.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, that one's got an actual like a shunning in
the business because there everybody's afraid to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the other categories of the movies that we've not seen.
As we discussed the oscars, k if I Am six
forty were live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. That was fun.
Give me my fucking bitch shot. We're live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Kelly six live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and is
we're continuing our conversation about the recently released Oscar nominations.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Just want to remind everyone we like movies. We don't
see every movie. We don't discuss movies within the context
of being.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Experts and understanding the difference between an artist and an
awe toeur. I'm just telling you about the movies that
we like and hear the nominations. Most of these movies
we have not seen, have no desire to see. Don't
need you to try to convince us to see them,
because we're not We're simple like that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, Mark isn't.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Mark was an actual film critic, so whatever, whatever it's
different for't, don't try to blow up his ego.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's already out of control, all right, clearly Best supporting
Actor you'a borisov Anora.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I don't know which part he played, but it was
a movie that was like three quarters just people shouting
at each other and swearing.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Karen Colchin like him as an actor, A real pain.
I have not.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I think that's on Hulu now, so it should be easy,
and we have that on our screeners as well.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That looks like it should be fun. Edward Norton, I
didn't know he was still acting. I'm being serious. I
thought he trashed his own career. I'm being serious because
despite all of his talent, his reputation was that he
was very difficult to work with and he wasn't getting
the type jobs that I'm quite sure he was accustomed to.
So I have not seen him in anything, and I
(09:27):
haven't seen a complete unknown yet, but I know he's
a quality actor.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I'm being serious. I know he's a quality actor. Well,
you get fired from the Hulk. It's all downhill, and
I think it's one of these things where he slightly
changed his physical appearance in a biopic, So that's more
Oscar bait.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Always, Guy Pierce for The Brutalist, and Jeremy Strong if
you know succession, he's up for the Apprentice. I really
can't call this category because I've seen nothing in it,
absolutely nothing, But there is a lot of interest in
(10:05):
Best Actress. Cynthia Arrivo for Wicked, possibly Carla Sophia Gascon
for Amelia Perez. I think that's your winner, Mikey Madison
for Anura, do me More for the Substance, and I
think she's my dark horse.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
She's had a lot of.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The sentiment behind her and a lot of times you
win the oscar for the thing that is not the
greatest thing you've done in your career. It's just that
the sentiment was with you that year.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
She could get it the oscars.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You're welcome, and STEP's not going to give you anything.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We all should have gotten one, one for your joke
and two for our follow up.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I just didn't get it, are you? Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No? I didn't. He's pleading. Oh, I thought you were
trying to know. I'm not talking about you said I
didn't get out doing anything. You don't know what we
mean when we say that she could.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Get it, the trophy, the oscar, right along, moving right along, innocent.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm sorry. Make it so we can do rim shot.
I think he deserves you.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
We need to take the power back from him. Yeah,
I'm getting that in here.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The best actress in a supporting role Monica Barbara for
a Complete Unknown, Ariana Grande for Wicked. I think she
may win one here. Is she the best actress? Probably not,
but I think she may win one here. Felicity Jones
for the Brutalist, is Bell Roslini for Conclave, Zoe Saldana
(11:51):
Amelia Perez.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's the chief competitions between those two.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But this is one I definitely want to actually argue
with you guys about best animated feature, because we usually
have something to say about that.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Flow f l o w fl o. I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I think that was on Netflix and they go in
the theaters for like a little bit or something cartoon
about the waitress from that old Alice show. Kiss My Grits,
you fool. You definitely not gonna get that. You've never
seen the show. Okay, there's a new girl in town
and she's feeling good.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's definitely nothing, absolutely nothing, now you kiss my grits.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, no, no, inside Out too.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We know that made a lot of Inside Out Too
was flawless. That was it's gonna be beautiful.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Because there's the wild Robot in there as well. No, no,
I'm sorry, inside Out too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I dig that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Everyone is all like, no, you gotta see. Here's the
problem with the wild Robot. No one was going to
go see the Wild Robot. Everyone kept saying, you gotta
go see it's really good. If you have to keep
twist people's arm to go and see it because it
seems and looks silly, that's not going to make it
inside out to us a triumph. It is a true triumph,
no doubt. It's one of that you have seen a triumph?
(13:11):
Was it a tour divorced too?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yes? Wow, it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Any other superlatives out there you like to throw at it,
cliche phrases, anything.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's really good. I didn't see it. You know why,
because you're an adult?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
We know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes. In fact, that's the reason.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Memoir of a Snail have no idea, No way, Wallace
and Grommet Vengeance most so, no way, no, no. The
first one wasn't even that good. Those are fun.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
How would you know? You're an adult?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They've been on in the room while I was passing,
all right, Jimmy Swagger, Hey, that's a.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Deep that's a low blow. What do you want me
to say? Mary and Barry? Is that better?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I don't want you to say anything, which is awkward
since it's your show.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Best Animated Short Film. I haven't seen any of these.
I don't think anyone has seen those, any of those.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Nobody ever sees the short Nobody Best Director, Honora Sean Baker,
The Brutalist, Brady Corbett, a complete unknown, James Mangold, media
Perez Jacques Adiod probably mispronounced it in the substance Carle fagyite.
Why can't you just have an easy name to pronounces it?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Carle foggy f A R G E A T. Let's
stay away from pronouncing that one.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, okay, But I don't get the sense that this
is going to be one of those legendary Oscar telecasts
because it doesn't have the type of star power top
to bottom that you would want in an Oscar ceremony.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Who's hosting? Isn't Connor O'Brien hosting it? That's gonna be greater?
You don't think he's funny, No, I think he's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't know if the telecast overall is going to
have the type of eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Nor does it lend to his funny Yeah, I don't
see it lends to what he does. Oh, I'm rooting
for Conan. I think he's great. All right, No, he
is great. I just don't know. I think this is
going to be one of those things that's going to
be like he shouldn't have done it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, I don't know how much upside is is out
there for him, But you know, could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And see. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
They don't have achievement in visual effects, Alien romulus better man.
I refuse to see that Dune Part two, Kingdom of
the Planet of the Apes and Wicked.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It probably will go to Doune Why Doom one something?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, because because it's visually it's a grand epic. Yeah,
it's kind of one of those Oscar movies. Like, okay, cinematography,
visual effects, it's one of those movies.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
The award for Best screensaver, oh no, yeah, but also Wicked.
Wicked should get that. Wicked should because Wicked was beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous.
I'm seeing that on Imax. I'm like, this is breathtaking
to a look at it.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I have a feeling that although Wicked had what maybe
ten nominations, it could be one of those nights where
it has ten nominations and two wins.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like Best Costume, man, yeah, best Song or something like.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It's not going to get Yes, it's in the top
five of everything, but I don't know if it wins anything.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, that's all I'm saying. And I loved it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I just look at oscars and momentum and history. I
don't know if Wicked is going to be Oscar celebrated. No,
it's too popular. Yeah, maybe too popular. Yeah, they're not
really inclined. It's almost like the Oscars are more so snobbish, like, no,
we need to have a less, less regarded movie that
(16:57):
that the casual, laid peon wouldn't be able to appreciate
because it's beyond them.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
What principle is behind your refusal to see Better Man?
Which is a movie about a pop star chimp?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Is that what that one is? Yes, about Robbie Williams.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So I don't even know who it is, and no
Americans do, No, And it's like it's the cgi chip
who's standing in for him and he's quasi semi autobiographical
talking about his story and the mistakes he made, and
the whole idea and concept is just ridiculously stupid to me.
I don't want to even try to waste two hours
(17:35):
watching them, Not in a theater, no, not even at home,
not even drunk, No, so closed minded, I say, I
don't need to delve into someone else's problems.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's that's a movie.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Like I'd have to just read Wikipedia as we went
along because of big references to places, times, and events
situations that I would have no reference point.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know who Robbie Williams is.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I mean, I'm not seeing it either, but I think
the two of you should see it.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's Later with mo Kelly. Not only was that unfunny,
it was unnecessary and unworthy of a rim shot. I'll
decide that KFIM six forty, We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. Don't don't stefan no no, no, no no, don't
don't don't touch it, move your move your finger.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But that's sounds wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
K f I AM six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Talking about movie reviews.
I think it was yesterday, Yeah, yesterday, had a little
time multitasking, eating breakfast, doing some laundry. Perfect situation to
watch a movie on Netflix. I decided to watch Back
(19:01):
in Action. Kind of a pun intended for Jamie Fox
as he was in the midst of filming that project
when he had his stroke that we told you about
that he and this people wanted to deny when it
happened had a stroke in the creation and filming of
that movie, starting alongside Cameron Diaz. If you don't know,
(19:23):
very succinctly, it's about these two spies who fall in love,
start a family, and decide they want to get out
of the life, until the life brings them back in
like fifteen years later.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Here's the Doubt and Dirty.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If Netflix was not raising its prices and I.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I'm trying to be nice, Toula.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's bad. It's really bad. It's because I like Cameron Diaz,
I like Jamie Fox. I really hated this movie. It
was insufferable. It was unbelievable. Everything was an attempted joke
and punchline. And when everything is an attempt to be funny,
that means nothing is funny. And when everything is unseerious,
(20:11):
then nothing is serious. And it was just unbelievable. They
had two kids who were who were supposedly very smart
in their own right and that's how they're presented, but
they were so dumb and couldn't figure out that their
parents weren't actually regular parents.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
It was literally a very bad Disney film with cursing
in it.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Ah Yes, and it was hard to watch.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Because it was hard to take it serious because the
storyline is something that Mark and all of his adulthood
would say. I don't watch films like that. You know why,
because I'm an adult and it's one of those films.
I felt like you fel marked about cartoons. That's what
I feel about this because it was cartoonish. The acting
was cartoonish. Their chemistry wasn't believable, not for a minute,
(20:56):
and the storyline it just really dreads the imagination in
terms of believability. And it was almost like, why is
this Why who's green lit this film?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I want to pick up on a point you made
as far as lack of chemistry. Cameron Diaz and Jamie Fox,
despite their acting talent, it seemed like they were just
friends from high school. There was at no point did
I ever believe that they were ever a couple, much
less married and in love and would take this huge
(21:31):
step of getting out of the spy business so they
can raise a family. Part of it is because there
are on screen interaction suggested they had no chemistry. Also
in the actual script, and this is not really giving
away anything, there's no affection between them and any point.
In fact, one of the jokes was you think there's
an affection, but it really isn't.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, they actually hold hands. That's the most affection they
show each other.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Because and then there's, of course, there's a cheesy spoiler
alert kind of joke where youth where the kids think
they're getting it on, but they're really next door fighting
or sparring boxing. Yeah, And it's like, you know, and
of course they're making all the requisite you know, love
making sounds, but they're you know, the kids are.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Like, oh my god, mom and dad get a room.
They're literally in their room. It's that type of stupid
where you're.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Like, I don't get why I'm watching this outside of
my curiosity to see what film Jamie Fox was making
when he suffered that that tragic event in his life
and God blessed for, you know, his recovery.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But man, yeah, it's I just I would love to
see the business plan for Netflix, in other words, how
much they paid for it, what was the cost of
creating it and producing it, and whether that's a viable
business model long term, if they're going to give us
more stuff like that, if they spent like one hundred
(23:02):
million on that. Yeah, I understand why Netflix needs to
raise his prices. It's it's it was a hard watch
because the jokes were really cringe worthy, the action wasn't
really believable. The fight choreography in this you know, mission
impossible James Bourne, James Bond, I mean, Jason Bourne, James
(23:24):
Bond World. We have a higher expectation of this choreography.
In the Spy World. Cameron Diaz is not beating anybody's ass.
So you guys both watched the whole movie from start
to finish. Yes, I was in the room while I
was playing. I was trying to read news, answer emails,
do other stuff, and I kept on asking could you
watch that later after I'm gone to work, because it
(23:46):
was it was during the part where they're they're plowing
through bad guys, just dispatching him with expert hand to
hand time. I don't even know I saw a good
chunk of it, or it was on at least, And
that to me looks like the kind of thing that
we're gonna get with AI generating movie plots. And I
say this because I'm not trying to be an a
(24:06):
hole and mean spirited. I like Jamie Fox as a
talented talent. I think he's one of the most talented
people in the world. Altogether. We talk about stand up comedy, acting, dramatic, comedic,
put it all together. Jamie Fox is a total package.
I like Cameron Diz. I did not like this movie.
It just seemed like it was unseerious and no one
(24:27):
was really trying.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Everybody makes a stinker now and then, or just walks
through a roll for a paycheck. But this one, to
me looked just like a nasty one.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
And spoiler alert, they left it open for a sequel. Yeah, no,
they literally told you. They told you in.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
The end they said, hey, you know, we have to
do a sequel, right basically with the line that they
gave it was yes, we're already gonna do another one
now again. Maybe kids will like this because outside of
a couple of f bobs, this film is strictly for kids.
You have to be twelve and under for this to
(25:07):
be believable or even entertaining. You know, you like fart
jokes and mom and dad doing embarrassing things.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
By by by, I mean with the binoculars with built up.
It's one of those kind of movies where you're like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
And because maybe because I'm a parent, because I'm like
my children, never in their life did they act like this.
I don't relate to these overly fictionalized relationships.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I just got it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
This is a scene where the fourteen year old daughter
is in a nightclub somehow, some way with her also
underage boyfriend, and no one knows drinking areything. Is a
full on club. It's not like some underground rave. It
is a full on club with a bouncer. And so
the parents, Jimmy Fox and Cameron Diaz, come in to
get their daughter, who's fourteen now, and they get get
(26:00):
the daughter, and these guys who are in the club
are gonna say, well, it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Looks like she belongs to me, or it looks like
she's an adult.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Or belongs here, and they're going to step in and
try to keep the parents from taking their daughter, yes,
which of course, they have to dispatch these clubgoers with
their highly trained martial arts in a world where everyone
has got a camera, and.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So guess what they're exposed now.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
The people that they've been hiding from her back after him,
get this trash and just bury it it, Just bury
it like a dog.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
They were the dumbest spies I've ever seen, like not
understanding how technology and cameras work. That's all I can say.
If you want to see it, fine, enjoy yourself. Just
have really, really really low, like floor level expectations for
the movie. That's all I can say. I don't have
anything funny to say because there's nothing funny in the movie.
There's really nothing funny. Even though every line was a joke,
(26:59):
nothing was funny laugh once, not at all, not at all.
Based on what I saw, you were both too kind.
Maybe maybe I Am six forty were live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Before we get out here, just I had a period.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I want to put on this discussion with Back in Action,
the new Netflix movie which stars Jamie Fox and Cameron
Diaz quick reset.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I like Jamie Fox as a talent.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I think there's probably no one more talented individually in
the world, no exaggeration like Cameron Diaz.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I like most of her movies, damn near all of them.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know from There's something about Mary on Down a
bad teacher.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Just like all of her work.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I can understand how on paper, bringing the two together
could be comedic magic, but it wasn't there. There was
just nothing really funny about it. And the only thing
that I liked about the movie and Twalla didn't even
like this. There is an appearance and it's she's in
a credit so it's not like it's a cameo. There's
an appearance by Glenn Close, and she is in a
(28:09):
different portion of her career. She's not taking these super
serious roles just like it was more akin to Guardians
of the Galaxy. You know, her hair is a different color,
her disposition is all together different. It's it's a comedic role.
I like what she contributed to it. Twala, you did not.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I didn't like it at all. I didn't like it because.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
It was literally too campy and too buffoonish for Glenn
Close to be it was it I felt uncomfortable watching it,
like it had me feeling like, man, they made Glenn
Close do this, Like is she hard up?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Is she?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Is she suffering? Is she so they can put her?
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Why?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What the like?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
This is Glenn Close, for God's sake, she shouldn't be
reduced to being, you know, a joke or a punchline
in a film that's not funny.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Now there was excuse me, there was a red flag
for me. And this is not to be mean to
the actor. Kyle Chandler. You'll know him if you see him.
He's been in everything. But just about every Kyle Chandler
movie I've seen, whether he was a star or not,
the movie usually wasn't that good. I'm not saying causation.
I am saying correlation. Kyle Chandler, he's a decent actor.
(29:30):
I'm just saying the movies that he's in, it just
doesn't you know from You're not saying that it's him.
You're just saying that movies he happens to be in.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He might. He might be the Jeks.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Okay, I'm saying he is one of the Godzilla movies,
King of Monsters. I think I can't remember. But it's
just what I'm noticing. A you know, you think he
might be a cooler. Maybe maybe maybe I had the
same reaction seeing Glenn. It was like, you're better than this,
(30:02):
you don't have to do this. Who do you owe? Irs?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Maybe like someone's got picture something I don't know, Stephan.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That was funny. Stephan is like he's not even paid
this show.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
He's gone, yeah, he said, like I'm over there clipping
his toenails with his foot up on the desk and everything.
His headphones aren't even on. It's like he has no
idea what's happening on the show. I gotta be cussing
up a storm and he wouldn't even be able to
push the dump button.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Now, don't laugh, now, Stephan, this is the whole point.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You have to actually participate in the show to know
if it's actually funny in the moment, and you can't
shame him not after the fact.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Goodness.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
So yeah, that's all I have to say about Back
in Action. It's look, it's it's a streaming property.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But the same week in which Netflix is hiking its fees,
I think it hits a little bit harder and it
makes it a little.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Bit more difficult for me to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Wait a minute, I forgot Okay, Netflix, they hikes a side.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Did you watch the second part of Cobra Kai. I
didn't even know it dropped. Yeah, the third part comes out,
I think next one. No, it's out now. Oh, I
didn't know the third The Final The final final thing
is out. Now, that's what I'm gonna watch that tonight.
I was trying to see a minute.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
There was no notification on like you know, what's new,
what's coming that kind of thing, because I know the
second season of The Night Agent and.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
The Recruit got the notification this morning.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I didn't see anything about Cobra Kai the very final
final season season portion season season. Oh and by the way,
back in Action was made for seventy million. The movie
would have bombed in theaters. There's no way that movie's
gonna make seventy million.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Oh that's right off, yeah, oh no, no, no, no no.
It says that the part three premiere is on February thirteen.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Okay, I was gonna say, but but I keep seeing
I keep seeing watch it now.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah, but there are three portions to the season, so
we've only seen part one and part two. I gonna
say it like this, No way I could have missed that,
because there would have been some sort of lead up
and hype to it.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah. Oh no, you know, maybe maybe it's just that
they've just dropped the trailer.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That makes sense. They dropped the trailer.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
For a part three Okay, Okay, you should watch The
Night Agent, because here's what's going to happen. I'm going
to go home after work and start watching it and
just text you all night. I'll be up.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Cheers, sir.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
You just took the sport out of it. I was
hoping that this would be unwelcome. It doesn't matter. With
the exception of my mother and my wife.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
The only people who can actually get through on my
phone nobody, so you wouldn't get through, so you can
text all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm not going to get a notification. I'm not going
to get a buzz or anything. You're not on that list.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I'll come to your door tall and I was just
talking about that. We don't answer the door unless we're
expecting people to come over.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
You know, Look, do not go to a black person's
door uninvited. Just let you know, well, what if you're
half black, because I think I know I said, it
doesn't matter who you are. I'm saying, do not go
to the black person's door. If you're half black, that
makes you black. So I wouldn't show up at your
door because I would know. You don't do that. You
do not come by unannounced. What happens. If you do,
(33:14):
you might get ignored, you might get shot. Nothing good.
I'm being serious. Now, well, no, I need to know
the rules since I am essentially black. Now no, you are.
It's the one drop rule. Yeah, okay, I believe in that.
Yeah okay, I need to know what to do. So
this is good that we covered this tonight.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, right now, Stefan, he can do whatever he wants,
or we can show up to Stephan's house. There won't
be any consequences. He's not gonna shoot us. He'll probably
open the door and say can I help you. You
wouldn't even know we were there, that's true. He doesn't
pay an attention to the show.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That No, don't laugh at the joke.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's true. I wouldn't look at the ties on point
with that one. Ka if I am six forty. We're
