Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Joel Malcolm for WJ and O dot com and
(00:02):
let's talk movies. He's back from his whirlwind cruise of Europe.
It is hapburst in the movie guy from Pomby Chartspaper
dot com. Do you have a good time?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I did? I did, indeed, but I missed it. I
miss I missed some movies. Just nice catchup and it's
a good week to get back into it.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I guess they didn't have a movie theater on that
They didn't have a movie theater on that ship. Huh oh.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
They put them right into your cabin. Funny movies to see,
all right? Too busy in the casino?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Thirty years ago?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
In nineteen ninety six, Tom Cruise first played Ethan Hunt
Wow Co Mission Impossible Now. I remember being startled at
the time how different that movie was from the terrific
TV series. But over time the film franchise has far
eclipsed the smallest screen version in its globe trotting, it's
bread taking action sequences, its stunts, and it's entertainment impact. Well,
(00:56):
all good things must come to an end. And with
Cus now sixty two, how does that make you feel? Little?
Who's now sixty two, we arrive at the Final Reckoning,
which is really dead Reckoning Part two, the conclusion of
the previous i AM installment from two years ago. Now
long before we all came paranoid about artificial intelligence. The
(01:19):
im for us was tracking down an AI villain known
as Entity, which infiltrates the computer networks all over the
world and threatens our very existence. But director and co
writer Christopher mcquarie, he knows that he did the last
three mission and buzzble moves by the way. He knows
that we're less interested in the plot and more in
(01:41):
with the alump and your throat gripped. The arm sets
action sequences, and boy does he deliver. The last thirty
minutes of this nearly three minute movie is all action,
from a sensational biplane stunt to an underwater sequence that
just keep you really really tracked. Their Final Reckoning. It
(02:03):
absolutely delivers. Now the usual gang is back, Vin Rings,
Simon Peg, Haley Atwell and plenty of a lists new
newbies like Jane McTeer and Nick Offerman. Fans need to
know that the movies starts slowly, with a little too
much looking back, trying to tying up loose ends from
the past, but when it switches gears to full throat
(02:26):
of action, few, if any, will be disappointed. The Final
Reckoning opens this weekend and it'll blow everything else out
of the box office water, and I am will likely
stick around for most of the summer. I think you
will want to see it a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You can clear your throat. We will will mute you
for a second here, But I wanted to ask you
you're First of all, do I have to I love
the last movie? The Dead Reckoning Part one is what
I guess it was considered. But do I have to
you said it flashed this back. You had mentioned that
(03:03):
it alluded to it seal some things, maybe some from
some previous films as well. Do I have to have
seen all of those things? I think I missed some
of them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, I think you don't have to. But the more
you've seen, the more you'll enjoy this movie.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, And then the other question is did you make
it through the three hours without having to take a tinkle?
This is a long movie, two hours and forty nine minutes,
and then you add about twenty five minutes of previews
of trailers, and then they give you a.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Little bucket by your seat so you can see.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, it's called your popcorn bucket. You have to eat
it all or pour it out first. All right. I
had another question, but I don't remember what it was,
but I yes, I feel like I need to see
Dead Reckoning again because it's been a cup what two years?
When was it? When was that out?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Three?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay? Two years? Okay. I know that there was a key.
There was like a key thing that they had to get,
so I.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Guess it's still the case.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, they're still looking for the key, aren't we. All
all right, you want to clear your throat before we
go into the next one. Let's try once again.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, Then I met.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Him clear his throat. All right. That's an old hip
hop song. Ah for my DJ days. It's a bowling alley.
All right, here we go. Tell me about a movie
that I probably would not like, well exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
In an obvious attempt at counter programming, Disney reaches back
to two thousand and two for its latest clumsy attempt
to raise his animation library for a live action version
of Lilo and Stitch. Now, if you haven't a good
enough memory, you may recall that Stitch is actually a
genetic experiment gone awry from a far off planet called
(04:53):
to Row, and this six legged doglike creature the I
mean six twenty six has high intelligence and destructive powers.
Because of the dangers it presents, six twenty six is
exiled to a planet called Earth, Earth, which he gets
(05:15):
adapted by a lonely six year old orphan girl. Yep,
that's Lelo on the Hawaiian island of Kawaii. Now as
in E. G. Leland's Dish Bond like Et and Elliott,
and they're soon chased after by our government and by
the United Galactic Federation. Despite everys to give it an
(05:37):
adult level of interest, Lelon'stitch really was and still is
more kid stuff and much of the humor, and it's
from the slapstick Chases, which plays better in animation. Still,
you may want to park your kids in Lelon Stitch
while you watch Mission Impossible. I was quickly bored by
(05:58):
the three make frankly directed by Dean Fleisher camp Oscar
nominated two years ago for the animated Marcel the Show
with Shoes on. The Disney Marketing Group will clearly mean
turn this into a box office head but as in
(06:19):
the past. The animated version is simply better.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So partly because I just like to disagree with you,
because it's fun for me, it is, but also because
I think wrong, but also because I think I'm right.
I think that you're I think that you're intimating that
you do. You think mission impossible. The final Reckoning will
lead the way at the box office. I'm saying, Lilo
and Stitch will.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh, I'll bet your dollar on that one.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Sure I would bet more than that. Really, I'm telling
you it's going to I have a twelve year old
who I am happy to not have to take because
she's at home in Orlando and I had her last weekend.
I had to break the news to her that lelo
And was coming out the weekend. Daddy does not have you,
And uh so she's you know, she's a huge Stitch fan.
(07:07):
And uh, I know there are lots of kids and
grown kids that love Stitch and as bad as this
movie might be, they're not going to know it till
after they see it, and even then they'll probably still
love it because they are Stitch fans. Uh. There's none
of that negativity leading up to like Snow White. So
if somebody wanted to say, well, look at snow White.
(07:27):
It bombed. Yeah, that was a different story. This is
gonna be a.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Just put.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm telling you Leelo and Stitch. Leelo and Stitch will
be number one this weekend. Mission Impossible number two. Okay,
well we will. We will chat next week. You're not
going on another cruise, right, we'll chat next week.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm waiting. I'm waiting by my mailbox for your money.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, before you do that, tell us about an
art house.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Pick my I was picked this week. It's a clever
rom com called Jane Austin Wrecked My Life. It's a
French film which blends love and the literature. About as
far as you can get away from Mission Impossible, I'd say,
another smart bit of counterprogramming. So its heroine is Agatha
(08:12):
played by melancholy Camille Rutherford, who works at Paris's famous
Shakespeare in Company bookstore, where her love life is not
so good and she yearns to write a novel in
the spirit of Jane Austen. Both goals get a boost
when she is invited to attend a writer's retreat at
(08:32):
the Jane Austin Residency in England, meeting here at the
party is Felix, a distant road of Austin's whose car
breaks down on the way of the estate, and tensions
rise in a way that you just know it's going
to lead to romance. Now, there's much talk of the
(08:53):
purpose of the view value of literature and the difference
between romance and love in Austin's day and Agatha's contemporary world.
Jadeausin Wreck My Life doesn't exactly cover any new ground
in rom coms, but it is a charmer and Rutherford
Lintle Light open Coin theaters this weekend and we're seeking out.
(09:16):
Maybe after you see Mission impos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
All roads, all roads with you lead to the Mission
Impossible movie.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'm telling you, I'm telling you it's gonna make a fortune.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, I've got I've got you. Could you can run
and clear your throat again if you like. You're all
choked up about these movies while you while you a
little for clemped this. Here's a topic. A peanut is
neither a peen nor a nut discuss Uh. Okay, So
there's a couple other movies that that you missed. Either
(09:48):
maybe they weren't screening it for you or or or
you just didn't care, but probably not gonna be great movies.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well that was away all right.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
One of them, uh, well, one of them is just
out a friend ship. Paul Rudd stars in this. Kate
Mara and I should probably click on the name. There's
a guy that's the second lead in this. You got
Paul Rudd. Tim Robinson is his name. He looked a
little familiar. It's like a middle aged bald dude as
(10:17):
opposed to Paul Rude, Paul Rudd, who's a middle aged
dude who looks like he's in his thirties. Right, anyway,
this is here's the synopsis on Fandango. Suburban Dad Craig
falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, but Craig's attempts
to make an old to wait to make an adult
male friend threatened to ruin both of their lives. You
(10:41):
know what, I have a feeling this is about, and
nobody's coming out pun intended and saying I believe I
believe it's a homosexual type of thing. So I think
they're trying to kind of hide that because the trailer
you wouldn't really know that. They just seem like friends,
like he's trying to be friends. Remember when Paul Rudd
did the movie what was the movie he did with
(11:03):
the dude from How I Met Your Mother? And it
was about that. I forget the actors, And yeah, it
was like a bromance. He needed a friend, he had
no guy friends. He was getting married and he needed
a best man and he found Paul Rudd, I think,
or Paul Maybe it was Paul Rudd that found him. Yeah,
it was Paul Rudd that found him. Anyway, it was
a bromance. There was no gay stuff, but yeah, I
(11:25):
can't remember that. I think this is but I think
this is a little more. You know, that wasn't you know,
gay at all. But I think anyway, who knows whatever.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I
think they're they're just kind of trying to hide it.
And then the other movie that's coming out looks really weird.
I've seen the trailer a few times. It's called Hurry
(11:46):
Up Tomorrow. Even just the title is weird. Now, this
is about an insomniac musician who encounters a mysterious stranger,
leading to a journey that challenges everything he knows about himself.
Now hap this stars this star is the pop star
the Weekend whose real name I cannot pronounce, but he's
(12:08):
billed as his real name in this and Jenna or Tega,
And I'm gonna guess, based on the trailer that she
maybe she plays death like in person form and she
comes to visit him. That's what it seems like based
on the way it looks. I don't know. I might
give this film a watch just out of curiosity, which
is probably what they're.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Hoping for some weird movies.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, well this is this is a pretty big release
because the Weekend is huge. Obviously Jenna Ortega, you know,
goes without saying she's huge. But right now it's got
I have to go back. I think it was a
sixteen percent on the critics score. Let me look, hang
on that. Yeah, I'll tell you, hang on, hurry up tomorrow.
Here it is, Oh, not that one. Why are you
(12:54):
clicking on that one? Damn computers? Here we go fifteen language,
fifteen darn computers. Now on the viewers sixty seven percent.
But keep in mind, keep it and that's not great,
(13:14):
but it's still better. Keep in mind, who's going to
see this? Mostly this is mostly going to be people
that are fans of both Jenna or Tega, and likely
more so even the Weekend. So they're gonna like it
anyway because it's like cool the weekend on the big screen, Right,
That's what I'm thinking. So I don't know, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Still got to be a good story. You can have
really good actors and a bad story and it's still
going to flop.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I was looking at I was looking when you called.
I was looking at some of the some of the
critics reviews away. I was looking at some of the
critics reviews here, and I found one negative one from
Killer Movie Reviews. Whatever that is the flick. The flick
may have a bright future as a midnight movie, perhaps
(13:58):
as a double bill with The Room, so if you're
familiar with The Room to considered widely as one of,
if not the worst movie. Right, So that's a that's
not a positive review. Even even one of the positive
ones says it's not a perfect film, but is one
(14:19):
that questions, probes and challenges. So even the pot one
of the positive one of the few positive reviews, is like,
it's not perfect. But here's here's another positive one. One
of the ugliest self portraits in the history of pop
star movies. This is a positive, alternately self loathing and
self pitying, grimly exhilarating. If you're a scholar of pop
(14:43):
star it's essential. Yeah. I don't I don't know. I
don't know what the heck this thing is about, but
I'm guessing she's death just based on the based that's
your deal. I'll check it out. So yeah, mission impossible.
(15:03):
I'm here for it. I think I need to find
the Dead Reckoning and watch it again. Problem is I
don't have paramount plus.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
That's it is.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I can. I don't know.
Maybe I could find it somewhere else, pay for it
or something. I don't know. I'll go to Blockbuster. Remember
those old days, you go to Blockbuster, you pick it up.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, you're right right, you miss those action section.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right, So yeah, I'm looking forward to this one.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Just give me the money when you're wrong, Okay, just
mail it to me.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, it's gonna be and Stitch lelo and Stitch number
one in theaters. I'm not going to say by a mile,
but I believe it. It at least inches out mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
To Finally, you are going to be so wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, let me ask you this before we wrap up.
What what makes you you know, the mission impossible? Dead Reckoning?
I saw in theaters and I was like, and again,
this is twenty twenty three, so this is not like
really mid pandemic for most people, right, most of us,
especially here at Florida. You know, we're sure passed it.
And I saw the movie and I was I was enthralled.
I was like, this is a great movie. And yet
(16:08):
it did nothing. It was horrible. It was a bomb
at the box office. Why do you think this is
this is a sequel to that? Now they changed the
name so that it looked didn't look like a sequel
to the bomb, But you know, why do you think
this one's going to do so much better?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I forget the specifics, but when you say it bombed,
it just didn't do unbelievable, it didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't think it made a profit. And I could
be wrong. I have to look, but it definitely didn't
do what and what Tom Cruise expected it to do.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They expected, well, this one will when they when they
say it's the end of the series and it's all
going to wrap up and you're going to miss it,
they put it all in this movie. I mean it
is almost three hours. Like I say, okay, just get
your speech ready when you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Is this for sure?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Talk about it next week?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is this one hundred percent? Are you one hundred percent
for sure? This is the final movie?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh yeah, no, there, I can't say what.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's a spoiler. He dies just like the James Bond movie.
Oh no, I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh all right, Mary, we should say. I haven't seen
the movie, so I'm not spoiling anything because I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I only guess CRUs is going into the old age home.
He can't come out and make another movie.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I mean, the dude looks pretty good for sixty two.
Let's be honest. He moves pretty well.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Still got that boyer's grin.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, all right, well we will. We'll check back next
week and we will see. And you know if if
you are if you are wrong, I will accept you know,
you to admit it. And if if I am wrong,
I'll ignore it. So we'll chat then.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Just just give me the money. Ext We're gonna talk
Karate Kid.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, yes, looking forward to that one too. All right,
we will chat later

far as you can get away from Mission Impossible, I'd say,
another smart bit of counterprogramming. So its heroine is Agatha
(08:12):
played by melancholy Camille Rutherford, who works at Paris's famous
Shakespeare in Company bookstore, where her love life is not
so good and she yearns to write a novel in
the spirit of Jane Austen. Both goals get a boost
when she is invited to attend a writer's retreat at
(08:32):
the Jane Austin Residency in England, meeting here at the
party is Felix, a distant road of Austin's whose car
breaks down on the way of the estate, and tensions
rise in a way that you just know it's going
to lead to romance. Now, there's much talk of the
(08:53):
purpose of the view value of literature and the difference
between romance and love in Austin's day and Agatha's contemporary world.
Jadeausin Wreck My Life doesn't exactly cover any new ground
in rom coms, but it is a charmer and Rutherford
Lintle Light open Coin theaters this weekend and we're seeking out.
(09:16):
Maybe after you see Mission impos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
All roads, all roads with you lead to the Mission
Impossible movie.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'm telling you, I'm telling you it's gonna make a fortune.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, I've got I've got you. Could you can run
and clear your throat again if you like. You're all
choked up about these movies while you while you a
little for clemped this. Here's a topic. A peanut is
neither a peen nor a nut discuss Uh. Okay, So
there's a couple other movies that that you missed. Either
(09:48):
maybe they weren't screening it for you or or or
you just didn't care, but probably not gonna be great movies.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well that was away all right.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
One of them, uh, well, one of them is just
out a friend ship. Paul Rudd stars in this. Kate
Mara and I should probably click on the name. There's
a guy that's the second lead in this. You got
Paul Rudd. Tim Robinson is his name. He looked a
little familiar. It's like a middle aged bald dude as
(10:17):
opposed to Paul Rude, Paul Rudd, who's a middle aged
dude who looks like he's in his thirties. Right, anyway,
this is here's the synopsis on Fandango. Suburban Dad Craig
falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, but Craig's attempts
to make an old to wait to make an adult
male friend threatened to ruin both of their lives. You
(10:41):
know what, I have a feeling this is about, and
nobody's coming out pun intended and saying I believe I
believe it's a homosexual type of thing. So I think
they're trying to kind of hide that because the trailer
you wouldn't really know that. They just seem like friends,
like he's trying to be friends. Remember when Paul Rudd
did the movie what was the movie he did with
(11:03):
the dude from How I Met Your Mother? And it
was about that. I forget the actors, And yeah, it
was like a bromance. He needed a friend, he had
no guy friends. He was getting married and he needed
a best man and he found Paul Rudd, I think,
or Paul Maybe it was Paul Rudd that found him. Yeah,
it was Paul Rudd that found him. Anyway, it was
a bromance. There was no gay stuff, but yeah, I
(11:25):
can't remember that. I think this is but I think
this is a little more. You know, that wasn't you know,
gay at all. But I think anyway, who knows whatever.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I
think they're they're just kind of trying to hide it.
And then the other movie that's coming out looks really weird.
I've seen the trailer a few times. It's called Hurry
(11:46):
Up Tomorrow. Even just the title is weird. Now, this
is about an insomniac musician who encounters a mysterious stranger,
leading to a journey that challenges everything he knows about himself.
Now hap this stars this star is the pop star
the Weekend whose real name I cannot pronounce, but he's
(12:08):
billed as his real name in this and Jenna or Tega,
And I'm gonna guess, based on the trailer that she
maybe she plays death like in person form and she
comes to visit him. That's what it seems like based
on the way it looks. I don't know. I might
give this film a watch just out of curiosity, which
is probably what they're.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Hoping for some weird movies.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, well this is this is a pretty big release
because the Weekend is huge. Obviously Jenna Ortega, you know,
goes without saying she's huge. But right now it's got
I have to go back. I think it was a
sixteen percent on the critics score. Let me look, hang
on that. Yeah, I'll tell you, hang on, hurry up tomorrow.
Here it is, Oh, not that one. Why are you
(12:54):
clicking on that one? Damn computers? Here we go fifteen language,
fifteen darn computers. Now on the viewers sixty seven percent.
But keep in mind, keep it and that's not great,
(13:14):
but it's still better. Keep in mind, who's going to
see this? Mostly this is mostly going to be people
that are fans of both Jenna or Tega, and likely
more so even the Weekend. So they're gonna like it
anyway because it's like cool the weekend on the big screen, Right,
That's what I'm thinking. So I don't know, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Still got to be a good story. You can have
really good actors and a bad story and it's still
going to flop.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I was looking at I was looking when you called.
I was looking at some of the some of the
critics reviews away. I was looking at some of the
critics reviews here, and I found one negative one from
Killer Movie Reviews. Whatever that is the flick. The flick
may have a bright future as a midnight movie, perhaps
(13:58):
as a double bill with The Room, so if you're
familiar with The Room to considered widely as one of,
if not the worst movie. Right, So that's a that's
not a positive review. Even even one of the positive
ones says it's not a perfect film, but is one
(14:19):
that questions, probes and challenges. So even the pot one
of the positive one of the few positive reviews, is like,
it's not perfect. But here's here's another positive one. One
of the ugliest self portraits in the history of pop
star movies. This is a positive, alternately self loathing and
self pitying, grimly exhilarating. If you're a scholar of pop
(14:43):
star it's essential. Yeah. I don't I don't know. I
don't know what the heck this thing is about, but
I'm guessing she's death just based on the based that's
your deal. I'll check it out. So yeah, mission impossible.
(15:03):
I'm here for it. I think I need to find
the Dead Reckoning and watch it again. Problem is I
don't have paramount plus.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
That's it is.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I can. I don't know.
Maybe I could find it somewhere else, pay for it
or something. I don't know. I'll go to Blockbuster. Remember
those old days, you go to Blockbuster, you pick it up.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, you're right right, you miss those action section.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right, So yeah, I'm looking forward to this one.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Just give me the money when you're wrong, Okay, just
mail it to me.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, it's gonna be and Stitch lelo and Stitch number
one in theaters. I'm not going to say by a mile,
but I believe it. It at least inches out mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
To Finally, you are going to be so wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, let me ask you this before we wrap up.
What what makes you you know, the mission impossible? Dead Reckoning?
I saw in theaters and I was like, and again,
this is twenty twenty three, so this is not like
really mid pandemic for most people, right, most of us,
especially here at Florida. You know, we're sure passed it.
And I saw the movie and I was I was enthralled.
I was like, this is a great movie. And yet
(16:08):
it did nothing. It was horrible. It was a bomb
at the box office. Why do you think this is
this is a sequel to that? Now they changed the
name so that it looked didn't look like a sequel
to the bomb, But you know, why do you think
this one's going to do so much better?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I forget the specifics, but when you say it bombed,
it just didn't do unbelievable, it didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't think it made a profit. And I could
be wrong. I have to look, but it definitely didn't
do what and what Tom Cruise expected it to do.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They expected, well, this one will when they when they
say it's the end of the series and it's all
going to wrap up and you're going to miss it,
they put it all in this movie. I mean it
is almost three hours. Like I say, okay, just get
your speech ready when you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Is this for sure?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Talk about it next week?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is this one hundred percent? Are you one hundred percent
for sure? This is the final movie?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh yeah, no, there, I can't say what.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's a spoiler. He dies just like the James Bond movie.
Oh no, I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh all right, Mary, we should say. I haven't seen
the movie, so I'm not spoiling anything because I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I only guess CRUs is going into the old age home.
He can't come out and make another movie.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I mean, the dude looks pretty good for sixty two.
Let's be honest. He moves pretty well.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Still got that boyer's grin.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, all right, well we will. We'll check back next
week and we will see. And you know if if
you are if you are wrong, I will accept you know,
you to admit it. And if if I am wrong,
I'll ignore it. So we'll chat then.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Just just give me the money. Ext We're gonna talk
Karate Kid.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, yes, looking forward to that one too. All right,
we will chat later
