Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Joel Malcoln for w J and O dot com
(00:02):
and let's go to the movies with hap Eerstein half
with Pombie chartspaper dot com. Of course, happ You know,
it seems like it seems like a lot of movies
are kind of trying to stay away from the theaters
with Wicked and the Malwana movie and all that, and
maybe they're trying to give it a sure gladiator Gladiator
(00:25):
too as well. Exactly. But I guess you have found
some films at theaters.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of course. Of course, we've dealt with the biggies. Nell.
Let's two of the others. New this week in theaters
is a fact based crime drama called The Order, about
the rise of a white supremacist terror organization in the
nineteen eighties out West and a handful of FBI agents
who are trying to bring them down. Now leading the
(00:52):
violent neo Nazi gang in their reign of terror, bombing synagogues,
porn theaters as well as Robbin Banks and Brinks trucks,
is a guy named Bob Matthews, played with a nice
icy demeanor by Nicholas Holt. Now on the other side
of the law is veteran FBI aged Terry Husk that's
Jude Law behind a bushy mustache, weary but in Tanton
(01:17):
getting his man. Now The Order that's the name of
the terrorist group. The Orders is directed by Australian Justin Kurzel,
who's been getting an A list reputation down Under with
a string of violent crime films, and now with The Order,
he makes his American directing debut. Now the film kind
(01:40):
of simmers slowly, but Kurtziell knows when to turn on
the gunplay and the bloodshed when he wants to. As
I say, these events take place in the eighties, so
pretty much everyone has wears a mustache. But the anti
Semitism and the immigrant themes make The Order kind of kindly.
(02:01):
Do you Order is hard? The Holidays fair, but it
is solid, well crafted movie making.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know, I didn't have a mustache until the very
late eighties because I was a child through much of
the eighties. I did have a permit. I did have
a perm at one point in time. I had a
perm at one point in time, which which Brian Mudd
has not let me live down because he my nephew,
shared a photo of him as a baby. That's my nephew,
(02:28):
not Brian and me with the perm being maybe about
fourteen years old in the eighties and in the early eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So wait a minute, who had the mustache as a baby?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, I'm so confused, all right, the.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Order that was not even on my radar. But I
like Nicholas Holt. Remember I talked to you. I talked
to you a lot about about about about a boy,
and he was, of course the boy in About a Boy.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So I tend to follows to an adult very nicely.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, I've seen several of his movies. You've got another one.
We're gonna have to bleep you with the title of
this one, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm telling you the most movie about motherhood and child
rearing expressed it as a joy, a pleasant event. And
then there is Night Bitch, a very dark say what
emphasizes night Bitch has been bleeped yet that's the title
of the thing, I'm sorry, A very dark comedy that
emphasises the hell being stuck at home raising a tot
(03:29):
can be. It stars the remarkable Amy Adams as the mother.
In fact, that is the only name they give her.
Her name in this movie is mother. Now she's left
her fulfilling career to have a child and become a
stay at home mom, and she quickly finds out that
she hates it. She feels trapped and suffocated. And compounding
(03:53):
her anxiety is her husband played the guy named Scott
McNairy very good. He's a his name is husband. I
tell you they didn't even spend any time coming up
with names anyway. He can't fathom her problem. Oh, he says,
if he could just able to stay at home and
leave the pressures of the work world behind him, he
(04:15):
would love it. Well. He has no idea what she
goes through. The meaning of the title as soon becomes
apparent when Mother goes undergoes as surreal transformation. Now, maybe
it's only in her head. The movie leaves it ambiguous,
but Mother turns into a dog at night, scrambling through
the streets of the suburban neighborhood, howling at the moon.
(04:38):
This is her expression of the animal instincts of motherhood
brings out in her. Now that pitch is based on
a book by Rachel Yoder, which might mean that Mother's
canine life is just a metaphor. But when they showed
on the screen, it sure looks real. I suspect women
will identify most strongly with this movie, but Amy Adams
(05:00):
committed to the character totally, and what she goes through
is both funny and horrifying and also quite entertaining for everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think, I don't know if she's ever won an oscar,
and you're gonna tell me if she has, but.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She absolutely is not.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But she's underrating a lot of conserving things.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
She is underrated. She's she's a great she's a really
good actress. I'll go that far. A lot of the
stuff I've seen them through with you. I forget what
it was. There was a Netflix movie or something and
she played I forget.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What about Arrival, the one that was sort of trippy
in time? And of course there's that wonderful Disney enchanted.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean she started out in dinner theater as really
doing musicals.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's interesting. I didn't know that. Okay, speaking of musicals,
I think you have an animated one to tell us.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, and Disney, you know, we're going to reach back
two week ago when we didn't get together, but eight
years ago, let's reach back a little for the Disney
animation team served up Moana, Tale of a Bolynesian princess
of color who yearned to go out and seek adventure
far beyond her remote Pacific island. Well, it's come to
(06:13):
be an unexpected box office hit, of course, and now
comes a sequel, Mawana Too, which doesn't stray far from
the formula of the predecessor. But it's an even bigger
commercial success. In fact, it opened just before Thanksgiving and
three days later it was the second highest grossing film
of twenty twenty four, beyond just which one Wicked You ever? No, no,
(06:40):
well maybe not. Maybe it will become so, but so
far it's behind Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, anyway back voicing Molanna is Ali Cravallo, who, by
the way, I just saw on Broadway starng and the
revival of Cabaret.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But can you say that had times real quick well
standing on your head?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, absolutely not. But she was an ad visual one
and she's back again voicing the Molana and she's got
a great singing voice, and the movie has a handful
of infectious tunes. Though Lynn Manuel Miranda obviously was apparently
too busy with other projects to write song for this sequel.
In fact, he chose instead to write the songs for
(07:26):
Moo Fassa, which is coming down the pike in a
couple of weeks. It's a prequel to The Lion King Allay.
Dwayne Johnson is back as the demigogue Maui, who helps
guide Molana on her journey of their own. The plot
is pretty standard stuff, but the animation is just stunning,
(07:47):
particularly the fury of the storm at sea and the
hyper realistic depiction of water in general. If the movie
has a message, some might even call her an agenda,
it's the value of embracing immigrants and other cultures. So
so join the club and embrace Millana too, because you
(08:07):
can pretty well bet that there's going to be another
sequel in a senior future.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, there are end credit scenes. I was dragged to
that movie by by my child, my twelve year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We went over by.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, I never saw the first one, and so it
was and I told her that, I said, Kylie, I'm
keep in mind this is a twelve year old spoiled girl.
She spoiled because it will not be you know, and
she she gets pretty much what she wants from her dad.
And uh, you know, I said, but but but Kylie,
I've never seen the first one. Well, I can tell
you all about it, and I'm like, no, I'll just
(08:43):
watch it. I bet she could ten hour dissertation. And
uh I got dragged into Wicked too. I'll tell you
about all this stuff here. But I know you have
an art house pick, so let me get it. Let
me get a little snool.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And then I want to hear about you and you
and Wicked. My art house this week is an ethic
comedy called Bad Shabus. It's a farce family food and
Jewish mayhem set in the Upper West Side in the New
York apartment of the Gelfland family at Friday night Sabbath dinner.
Now grown son Daniel is not only bringing home his
(09:20):
Catholic girlfriend fiance Meg, who's been studying to convert to Judaism,
but her parents are flying in from Milwaukee to me
Daniel's folks. Okay, yes, it's a recipe for disaster, and
that's before an accidental death occurs. But as director Daniel
(09:41):
Robbins is well aware, comedy is tragedy that happens to
someone else. And while some of what happens in the
course of the movie is pretty preposterous. It's also quite funny,
and no, I don't think you need to be Jewish
to appreciate the humor. Kira Sedgwick as Daniel's disapproving mother,
(10:02):
Ellen is probably the biggest name in the cast. David
Paymer comes up close he he plays her husband, but
the rest of the low budget cast is well knit
into a very winning ensemble. I think bad shabus you see,
the title is a play on the Sabbath greeting good Shabas,
meaning you know, good Sabbath. It opens ahead of the
(10:23):
rest of the nation at the Movies of Delray. It's
literally the US premiere at the Movies of del Rey. Wow,
and director Robbins will be putting in an appearance and
fielding audience questions at the screenings this Friday, Saturday and
Sunday in Delray.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
All Right, I want to one honorable mention for a
movie that maybe wasn't on your radar, or they didn't
do a screening, or you really didn't care about. It's
called why it's called y two K And.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know there was there wasn't no screening.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's too high school. Nobody's make reading the
synopsis here from Fandango two high school Nobody's make the
decision to crash the last major celebration before the new
millennium on New Year's Eve nineteen ninety nine. Then, of
course we know nothing really went crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But was freaked out by it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Thought, yeah, well, and you were working for there, working
for the paper at the drive. Yeah, I'm sure everybody
was covering that events.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Right, the night becomes even crazier than they could have
ever dreamed when the clock strikes midnight. So apparently in
this comedy sci fi fantasy as it's being called, there
are things that happen. But here's what I'm here's here's
what I'm kind of interested in is the cast and
the and the director. First of all, the director you
(11:45):
may not recognize his name, Kyle Mooney. I don't believe
he's on SNL anymore, but he was a pretty long
time SNL cast member, and he he often did a
some of the you know, the shorts, the film shorts,
some of the like music video stuff. They would have
their the host on and they would do like a
funny kind of almost like a music He was doing
(12:08):
all that stuff. Now he somehow he ended up directing
this someone else. You talk about Disney, and she's going
to be snow white here in March and a movie
that's probably going to fail spectacularly.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They're already worried about it, and.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
She can't keep her mouth shut or at least online
Rachel Zegler. And what's sad about this whole thing is
because she's labeled as woke and all of that. And
I've rooted for this girl when when I first saw
West Side Story, which of course was a bomb, but
it was a well done movie though, right, I mean,
I enjoyed it. I know, I think you liked it
(12:45):
as well. Maybe not. It's an original, but so and
I remember following her at that time because she was
a nobody at that point, she wasn't, you know, And
here she gets this big movie, Steven Spielberg, you know,
directing it, and she had these videos online of where
she like even there's even one video where, I mean
(13:06):
this was really cool, where she like is outside. This is,
you know, before West Side Story officially came out, and
there's the poster for the movie the billboard and she's like,
oh my god, I'm on a billboard. It's just like
and I'm so I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Like, I'm gonna be a big star.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So I'm like enamored because I'm like, oh, and then
the girl gets you know, she's gonna be in this one.
She did the Shazam sequel, which bombed, right she did.
She was in that Shazam sequel. Uh, she's gonna be
in snow White. And everybody's you know, everybody's got complaints
about the you know, the woke snow White quote unquote
and all of that, and she just, you know, she
(13:43):
can't cut a break. But then she opens her mouth
and she's a oh, snow White is this or not? Oh,
I'm glad we changed it because it's it's just like,
what's wrong with you? Can't you just tow the line
and maybe you'll become a big star.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Take the money and run.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, anyway, she's in it. Fred Durst? Do you know
who Fred Durst? Is this interesting the people that are
in this. Fred Durst was the lead singer of a
band called Limp Biscuit from the nineties. Yes, Limp Biscuit
fred Durst only remember that. No, I mean Limp Biscuit
(14:21):
was pretty big, you know the alternative nineties music.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Alicia Silverstone is in this. I'm guessing she plays somebody's
mother at this point.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I don't know I would think so, but I think
she's completely clue anyway, got it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I think that might be the only ones I recognize.
I don't know, you ever heard of Mason Gooding? I
probably not. There's another kid that's there's the kid.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Le Roy's son. No, I don't think so, probably not.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I don't believe so.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Anyway, Yeah, that's it, that's it. But anyway, I just
y two K. I'm kind of more in interested now
that I see Alicia Silverstones in it and Kyle Mooney
is directing it, so you know, with the UH, there
are reasons to.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Be interested, but there must be reason why they didn't
screen it for it.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well for the people that did see it, the critics
that did. It's got a fifty six percent splattered tomato,
so that good something to that, all right? So, yes,
I I was on vacation with my my two daughters,
UH and my twelve year old. I already knew I
was in for this. I got dragged to uh I
(15:33):
wanted to. I got dragged too, wicked, Ma wanta two.
I already told you, I just really tell me about
not for me. I'm a grown man. I'm straight. I'm
a grown straight man.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm not. I mean, I guess it's kind of funny,
but I don't see the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thing that's been running for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Keep in mind, by the way, is.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
More than just tween girls that were going to.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, it's it's it's well the straight men that are
going on Broadway or dragged there by their wives and girlfriends.
I'm telling you now, you.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Know the really amazing thing. The National Border Preview, very
prestigious group of critics has called it the number one
picture of the year. Now that's way beyond what it deserves.
But it's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Here's the thing, my twelve year old, it was just
me and her. Yes, she loved it. I told you.
The only reason she really wanted to go Ariana Grande.
That's why it's making all the money. It is, probably
and she loved it. She's and she can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Sure, there's certain people going for Cynthia Rebo.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Well I'm talking about not her age, not the kids.
They don't know who that heck that is. She doesn't
know who that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Is, so how would they know?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Ariana Grande from.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Her singing or her music career.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Pops Cynthia Aribo has got a music career.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
She doesn't. They didn't know. She didn't know, but because
she had her, because she had her little friend was
texting her. Did you know that the lady that is
it Alphaba is bald? Alpha is bald, and so they don't.
They don't know who that is. They have no idea
who she is. All they knew was Arianna Grande because
she's got the singing. She's a huge I mean, she's
(17:13):
a big name, Ariana Grande.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
They came up with the name Alphaba, which is not
part of the original story. Of course, she's she becomes
the wicked, wicked, wiched, wicked Witch of the West. Right,
But why the name Alphaba?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It wasn't in the original book.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It absolutely was not.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay, why I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well, when you say the original book, it was not
in the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It was in
the book Wicked.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, So it was in the book. So it wasn't
that book Wicked. But when she but the but the
witch was in the first was in Wizard of Oz. Right,
she died, she gets there she's the one that gets
the waters poured on her. She's melting, She's melting. I
think that was Alphaba.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well well, but it was not called Alphaba until the
move the book Wicked. Okay, the author Gregory Maguire took
the name of the guy that wrote The Wonderful is
It of Oz L. Frank Baum and took the parts
of L and the fr and the BA and put
them together and create the name Alphabet.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That's wow only we Yeah musical band.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I don't think the Wicked Witch had a name. I
don't think either of the will which we sad names.
They were just a wicked witch.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And I think I think Glinda was named.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, Glinda Wie. But she was a good Yeah, but
she was a good witch. But she was the bad,
the evil. They were just the wicked Witch of the
East and Wicked Witch of the West. If I remember,
I used to watch that movie a lot when I
was a kid. I used to like it, right those kids,
okay with you anyway, it wasn't for me, but you
know what, my twelve year old loved it so money
well spent.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, believe me, A year from now, she's going to
want to see the second half.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh, she already does, she said, she can't wait. She
saw the because they, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Know, they took this musical which only lasts two and
a half hours on stage with an intermission, and then
they two and a half of our movie, which is
only the first half of the story.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, so they're making it into a five hour movie
essentially of cut into too right, exactly. Yeah, they're good. Well,
I mean, you know, they're not dumb.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They know what they're doing, and they made a pot
of money on its opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So so then, so after I dropped my daughter off
and I came home to spend the rest of my
vacation before coming back to work here. There wasn't a
whole lot at the theaters. But I wanted to see
a dad movie. I wanted to see something that I
wanted to see, right, And I'm like, well, what's what's out?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Gladiator too? But I never saw the first one. Well,
I found the first one on a streaming service and
I didn't have to pay, and I ended up watching
it with ads, you know. But but I'm pretty sure
it wasn't edited because you see heads flying and stuff.
So I'm guessing it's not editing, but are you not entertained?
Are you not? But uh wow, Russell Crowe was amazing
(19:56):
in that. It's just it's like he's a shell of
what he once was. He's still good, you know what
he is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But Joaquin Phoenix is also good in it as well.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Joaquin Phoenix, And it's funny to see Joaquin going back
to that part. He's got kind of a chubby face.
Now he's like one hundred pounds because you see a joker.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But anyway, for the joker.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So I saw so, I saw that, and the first
thirty minutes it was a lot of like fighting and
you know, with the war stuff, and I'm just like, no,
the first one at home, I'm watching it and I'm
just like, oh my god, let me just get myself
through the first half hour. I don't know what I'm
that way. I'm different than most men as far as
(20:36):
those kind of movies. I need a script, I need
a story, I need dialogue, and then get me the action.
But they pretty much start with the action in the
first dat Anyway, eventually it gets into gets into the story. Yeah,
those those are really annoying, but it gets into the story.
And then I'm getting sucked in by the story. And
by the end of that movie, I'm like, holy crap,
(20:58):
Now I got a C number two and I go
and I see Gladiator too, and I loved it. So
now I'm a and now I'm a Now I'm a fan.
And I was reading up on a lot of these
characters were real people, but they've obviously changed a lot.
But you know in the stories, but just.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Really, no one has very little to do with the
first Gladiator.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It really doesn't you have the connection. Well I don't
know is that a spoiler because they don't tell you
till later in the movie, but there is there is
a there. Well you know what if you go to
IMDb and you see the characters' names, you know, look
it's uh, It's it's uh Lucius from the first movie
grown Up but it's a different actor. But yeah, he's
(21:36):
he's he's essentially the star of the second movie.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I remember how we're talking who will take the week,
Wicked or Gladiator two?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And originally you told me Gladiator and then you change
your mind.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I did change my mind, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Glad you did it, and I'm glad I did. Yeah,
of course.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, I have to I have to say that I
think that uh, what's his name that did the music
for the first to Moana. I'm flaking on his name.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Miranda, the Emanuel Miranda, Manuel Miranda.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yes, he chose to do the Lion King movie, the
Mufasa movie in the prequel, right, I think he I
think he made the wrong decision. I really do. I
think that's going to be a bomb. I'm glad Disney's
having some success with these movies, you know, but I
I with Mowana and then of course Deadpool and Deadpool's
(22:26):
their movie. The latest Deadpool and Wolverine is Disney.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Right, But they made so much money on Mawana to
they can afford a toastubber of Mufasa.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Do you see that coming though? With Mufasa? Everybody sees
it coming with snow White.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But well, I mean I saw the quote live action
remake of the Lion that was pretty and if it's
going to be anything like that, it's going to be
It's going to be a turkey.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah. Yeah, it just it just looks my little one
doesn't have any interest in it, My thirty one year
old I think she's still thirty one she's thirty two.
I can't figure out she was born. No, she's thirty one. Gosh,
I'm a horrible father. But anyway, Uh, she's not even interested.
And she grew up in the nineties with you know,
with the original Lion King. I think she wanted to
(23:11):
go see the one you just referenced that came out
and we did, and she hated it. It was horrible
in her words, and so I guess it just turned
her off to anything. And I think they've done that.
I just don't think I think songs right, But nobody,
nobody but you is going specifically for his music, because
(23:33):
if they did that other movie that he did, The Heights.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Is going.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
If they did that, The Heights would have been a
big hit, which I enjoyed. I like The Heights. I
thought it was a great movie.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Did great things for John Chew's career. The director directed.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I didn't remember he'd wow. All right, all right, I
think we can wrap up here. I don't know what's
coming out in the next week or so, but I'll be.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Angelia and Joelie is Murray callis next week, okay, looking
forward to that. Of course, that's going to lose you
as well.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Go see The Order.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The Order is going to be a good, a good
dad violent movie for you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I'll look for that. I might see Glady Eat or
two again. I'm going to check out this Y two
K and I, and if I do, I'll let you
know how bad it might be.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Mile Mooney, Wow, Yeah, it's not interesting.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Huh, it's like, wait, where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But where's he been? Because he must have gone at
least a decade.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't think he's gone that. I don't think he's
gone that long. I have to look it up, but
it's been a few years. I'm sure. I tuned in recently,
and I don't recognize hardly anybody in that cast anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's very It's true, it's true, very strange.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah. I mean I still check out the cold opening
because they've usually been very political, yeah, and quite fun.
But I want to always tune out by the time
they get to the music segment.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well, because they get as if you've noticed, and it's
always pretty much been this way, at least in modern times.
They have their they have their skits or sketches, skits,
whatever you want to call it, and it's like the
ones they consider the best they do first, and as
you go, as it goes through the night, it's they
get lesser and lesser.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
If they really do wine down.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, so I think that's how they I don't
know if they do that just in case they run
out of time or what it is. They didn't include that.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
People are going to start falling asleep. Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They didn't include that kind of stuff in the movie
about how Saturday Night, about how it started, so that
would have been interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
But well, they were just in that that was the
very first show. They were just finding their way. They
didn't have the formula down yet.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'd like to see a sequel to that. I think
they should do a sequel to that. They could do
the story.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
About about how the second show they could do.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
How Eddie Murphy had to save the show in like
nineteen eighty or somewhere around there, because the show is
about to At various.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Times, different people helped save the show. Tina Fey I
did great, Sarah Palin that's helped save the show, and.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Then KSh and destroyed John mccam doing Trump, Oh okay, yeah,
Darryl Hammond, Daryl Hammond did a good Trump, but then
they had the killer doing Trump right, right right?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I went blank? You on his name? The guy who
shot Rust?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, how do you real quick before we wrap up?
Since I'm just you know whatever, and we're doing this
late anyway and I'm getting nothing done today. How do
you feel about them actually finishing that movie and coming
out with it after something like that happened. I feel
like that's just the way that it happened. I know
that's happened before.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well do you remember the Twilight z owned the movie?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah? Somebody died?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, and they did that and I actually loved that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. There's no reason why. I mean,
it was. It was a horrible thing that happened, But
why should that affect the way we received this movie.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I think it's because of the way it went down.
I think there's a difference.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So poorly handled Doug gree But I don't know. And
you know, maybe it won't be a bunch of a
movie in the first place, but I'd see it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I don't think any of that's going to help Baldwin.
That's the name, Yes, all right. The Crow was the
other one. I was trying to think of the other
one where Yeah, that's exactly right, and they ended up
coming out with it me and he was literally shot,
all right. I think it was a it was the
blanks or whatever that hit him in the heart or something.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
But yeah, no, that that's much better parallel.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're right, yeah, but all right, well we will we
will wrap up here because I think we've gone probably
thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I don't know something, Lord knows.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, all right, we'll catch you next week.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
All right, Well, I'll have more to say.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Go see the order
Speaker 1 (27:55):
All right, we'll look for it.
Hey, Joel Malcoln for w J and O dot com
(00:02):
and let's go to the movies with hap Eerstein half
with Pombie chartspaper dot com. Of course, happ You know,
it seems like it seems like a lot of movies
are kind of trying to stay away from the theaters
with Wicked and the Malwana movie and all that, and
maybe they're trying to give it a sure gladiator Gladiator
(00:25):
too as well. Exactly. But I guess you have found
some films at theaters.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of course. Of course, we've dealt with the biggies. Nell.
Let's two of the others. New this week in theaters
is a fact based crime drama called The Order, about
the rise of a white supremacist terror organization in the
nineteen eighties out West and a handful of FBI agents
who are trying to bring them down. Now leading the
(00:52):
violent neo Nazi gang in their reign of terror, bombing synagogues,
porn theaters as well as Robbin Banks and Brinks trucks,
is a guy named Bob Matthews, played with a nice
icy demeanor by Nicholas Holt. Now on the other side
of the law is veteran FBI aged Terry Husk that's
Jude Law behind a bushy mustache, weary but in Tanton
(01:17):
getting his man. Now The Order that's the name of
the terrorist group. The Orders is directed by Australian Justin Kurzel,
who's been getting an A list reputation down Under with
a string of violent crime films, and now with The Order,
he makes his American directing debut. Now the film kind
(01:40):
of simmers slowly, but Kurtziell knows when to turn on
the gunplay and the bloodshed when he wants to. As
I say, these events take place in the eighties, so
pretty much everyone has wears a mustache. But the anti
Semitism and the immigrant themes make The Order kind of kindly.
(02:01):
Do you Order is hard? The Holidays fair, but it
is solid, well crafted movie making.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know, I didn't have a mustache until the very
late eighties because I was a child through much of
the eighties. I did have a permit. I did have
a perm at one point in time. I had a
perm at one point in time, which which Brian Mudd
has not let me live down because he my nephew,
shared a photo of him as a baby. That's my nephew,
(02:28):
not Brian and me with the perm being maybe about
fourteen years old in the eighties and in the early eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So wait a minute, who had the mustache as a baby?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, I'm so confused, all right, the.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Order that was not even on my radar. But I
like Nicholas Holt. Remember I talked to you. I talked
to you a lot about about about about a boy,
and he was, of course the boy in About a Boy.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So I tend to follows to an adult very nicely.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, I've seen several of his movies. You've got another one.
We're gonna have to bleep you with the title of
this one, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm telling you the most movie about motherhood and child
rearing expressed it as a joy, a pleasant event. And
then there is Night Bitch, a very dark say what
emphasizes night Bitch has been bleeped yet that's the title
of the thing, I'm sorry, A very dark comedy that
emphasises the hell being stuck at home raising a tot
(03:29):
can be. It stars the remarkable Amy Adams as the mother.
In fact, that is the only name they give her.
Her name in this movie is mother. Now she's left
her fulfilling career to have a child and become a
stay at home mom, and she quickly finds out that
she hates it. She feels trapped and suffocated. And compounding
(03:53):
her anxiety is her husband played the guy named Scott
McNairy very good. He's a his name is husband. I
tell you they didn't even spend any time coming up
with names anyway. He can't fathom her problem. Oh, he says,
if he could just able to stay at home and
leave the pressures of the work world behind him, he
(04:15):
would love it. Well. He has no idea what she
goes through. The meaning of the title as soon becomes
apparent when Mother goes undergoes as surreal transformation. Now, maybe
it's only in her head. The movie leaves it ambiguous,
but Mother turns into a dog at night, scrambling through
the streets of the suburban neighborhood, howling at the moon.
(04:38):
This is her expression of the animal instincts of motherhood
brings out in her. Now that pitch is based on
a book by Rachel Yoder, which might mean that Mother's
canine life is just a metaphor. But when they showed
on the screen, it sure looks real. I suspect women
will identify most strongly with this movie, but Amy Adams
(05:00):
committed to the character totally, and what she goes through
is both funny and horrifying and also quite entertaining for everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think, I don't know if she's ever won an oscar,
and you're gonna tell me if she has, but.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She absolutely is not.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But she's underrating a lot of conserving things.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
She is underrated. She's she's a great she's a really
good actress. I'll go that far. A lot of the
stuff I've seen them through with you. I forget what
it was. There was a Netflix movie or something and
she played I forget.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What about Arrival, the one that was sort of trippy
in time? And of course there's that wonderful Disney enchanted.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean she started out in dinner theater as really
doing musicals.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's interesting. I didn't know that. Okay, speaking of musicals,
I think you have an animated one to tell us.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, and Disney, you know, we're going to reach back
two week ago when we didn't get together, but eight
years ago, let's reach back a little for the Disney
animation team served up Moana, Tale of a Bolynesian princess
of color who yearned to go out and seek adventure
far beyond her remote Pacific island. Well, it's come to
(06:13):
be an unexpected box office hit, of course, and now
comes a sequel, Mawana Too, which doesn't stray far from
the formula of the predecessor. But it's an even bigger
commercial success. In fact, it opened just before Thanksgiving and
three days later it was the second highest grossing film
of twenty twenty four, beyond just which one Wicked You ever? No, no,
(06:40):
well maybe not. Maybe it will become so, but so
far it's behind Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, anyway back voicing Molanna is Ali Cravallo, who, by
the way, I just saw on Broadway starng and the
revival of Cabaret.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But can you say that had times real quick well
standing on your head?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, absolutely not. But she was an ad visual one
and she's back again voicing the Molana and she's got
a great singing voice, and the movie has a handful
of infectious tunes. Though Lynn Manuel Miranda obviously was apparently
too busy with other projects to write song for this sequel.
In fact, he chose instead to write the songs for
(07:26):
Moo Fassa, which is coming down the pike in a
couple of weeks. It's a prequel to The Lion King Allay.
Dwayne Johnson is back as the demigogue Maui, who helps
guide Molana on her journey of their own. The plot
is pretty standard stuff, but the animation is just stunning,
(07:47):
particularly the fury of the storm at sea and the
hyper realistic depiction of water in general. If the movie
has a message, some might even call her an agenda,
it's the value of embracing immigrants and other cultures. So
so join the club and embrace Millana too, because you
(08:07):
can pretty well bet that there's going to be another
sequel in a senior future.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, there are end credit scenes. I was dragged to
that movie by by my child, my twelve year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We went over by.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, I never saw the first one, and so it
was and I told her that, I said, Kylie, I'm
keep in mind this is a twelve year old spoiled girl.
She spoiled because it will not be you know, and
she she gets pretty much what she wants from her dad.
And uh, you know, I said, but but but Kylie,
I've never seen the first one. Well, I can tell
you all about it, and I'm like, no, I'll just
(08:43):
watch it. I bet she could ten hour dissertation. And
uh I got dragged into Wicked too. I'll tell you
about all this stuff here. But I know you have
an art house pick, so let me get it. Let
me get a little snool.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And then I want to hear about you and you
and Wicked. My art house this week is an ethic
comedy called Bad Shabus. It's a farce family food and
Jewish mayhem set in the Upper West Side in the New
York apartment of the Gelfland family at Friday night Sabbath dinner.
Now grown son Daniel is not only bringing home his
(09:20):
Catholic girlfriend fiance Meg, who's been studying to convert to Judaism,
but her parents are flying in from Milwaukee to me
Daniel's folks. Okay, yes, it's a recipe for disaster, and
that's before an accidental death occurs. But as director Daniel
(09:41):
Robbins is well aware, comedy is tragedy that happens to
someone else. And while some of what happens in the
course of the movie is pretty preposterous. It's also quite funny,
and no, I don't think you need to be Jewish
to appreciate the humor. Kira Sedgwick as Daniel's disapproving mother,
(10:02):
Ellen is probably the biggest name in the cast. David
Paymer comes up close he he plays her husband, but
the rest of the low budget cast is well knit
into a very winning ensemble. I think bad shabus you see,
the title is a play on the Sabbath greeting good Shabas,
meaning you know, good Sabbath. It opens ahead of the
(10:23):
rest of the nation at the Movies of Delray. It's
literally the US premiere at the Movies of del Rey. Wow,
and director Robbins will be putting in an appearance and
fielding audience questions at the screenings this Friday, Saturday and
Sunday in Delray.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
All Right, I want to one honorable mention for a
movie that maybe wasn't on your radar, or they didn't
do a screening, or you really didn't care about. It's
called why it's called y two K And.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know there was there wasn't no screening.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's too high school. Nobody's make reading the
synopsis here from Fandango two high school Nobody's make the
decision to crash the last major celebration before the new
millennium on New Year's Eve nineteen ninety nine. Then, of
course we know nothing really went crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But was freaked out by it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Thought, yeah, well, and you were working for there, working
for the paper at the drive. Yeah, I'm sure everybody
was covering that events.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Right, the night becomes even crazier than they could have
ever dreamed when the clock strikes midnight. So apparently in
this comedy sci fi fantasy as it's being called, there
are things that happen. But here's what I'm here's here's
what I'm kind of interested in is the cast and
the and the director. First of all, the director you
(11:45):
may not recognize his name, Kyle Mooney. I don't believe
he's on SNL anymore, but he was a pretty long
time SNL cast member, and he he often did a
some of the you know, the shorts, the film shorts,
some of the like music video stuff. They would have
their the host on and they would do like a
funny kind of almost like a music He was doing
(12:08):
all that stuff. Now he somehow he ended up directing
this someone else. You talk about Disney, and she's going
to be snow white here in March and a movie
that's probably going to fail spectacularly.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They're already worried about it, and.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
She can't keep her mouth shut or at least online
Rachel Zegler. And what's sad about this whole thing is
because she's labeled as woke and all of that. And
I've rooted for this girl when when I first saw
West Side Story, which of course was a bomb, but
it was a well done movie though, right, I mean,
I enjoyed it. I know, I think you liked it
(12:45):
as well. Maybe not. It's an original, but so and
I remember following her at that time because she was
a nobody at that point, she wasn't, you know, And
here she gets this big movie, Steven Spielberg, you know,
directing it, and she had these videos online of where
she like even there's even one video where, I mean
(13:06):
this was really cool, where she like is outside. This is,
you know, before West Side Story officially came out, and
there's the poster for the movie the billboard and she's like,
oh my god, I'm on a billboard. It's just like
and I'm so I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Like, I'm gonna be a big star.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So I'm like enamored because I'm like, oh, and then
the girl gets you know, she's gonna be in this one.
She did the Shazam sequel, which bombed, right she did.
She was in that Shazam sequel. Uh, she's gonna be
in snow White. And everybody's you know, everybody's got complaints
about the you know, the woke snow White quote unquote
and all of that, and she just, you know, she
(13:43):
can't cut a break. But then she opens her mouth
and she's a oh, snow White is this or not? Oh,
I'm glad we changed it because it's it's just like,
what's wrong with you? Can't you just tow the line
and maybe you'll become a big star.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Take the money and run.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, anyway, she's in it. Fred Durst? Do you know
who Fred Durst? Is this interesting the people that are
in this. Fred Durst was the lead singer of a
band called Limp Biscuit from the nineties. Yes, Limp Biscuit
fred Durst only remember that. No, I mean Limp Biscuit
(14:21):
was pretty big, you know the alternative nineties music.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Alicia Silverstone is in this. I'm guessing she plays somebody's
mother at this point.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I don't know I would think so, but I think
she's completely clue anyway, got it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I think that might be the only ones I recognize.
I don't know, you ever heard of Mason Gooding? I
probably not. There's another kid that's there's the kid.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Le Roy's son. No, I don't think so, probably not.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I don't believe so.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Anyway, Yeah, that's it, that's it. But anyway, I just
y two K. I'm kind of more in interested now
that I see Alicia Silverstones in it and Kyle Mooney
is directing it, so you know, with the UH, there
are reasons to.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Be interested, but there must be reason why they didn't
screen it for it.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well for the people that did see it, the critics
that did. It's got a fifty six percent splattered tomato,
so that good something to that, all right? So, yes,
I I was on vacation with my my two daughters,
UH and my twelve year old. I already knew I
was in for this. I got dragged to uh I
(15:33):
wanted to. I got dragged too, wicked, Ma wanta two.
I already told you, I just really tell me about
not for me. I'm a grown man. I'm straight. I'm
a grown straight man.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm not. I mean, I guess it's kind of funny,
but I don't see the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thing that's been running for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Keep in mind, by the way, is.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
More than just tween girls that were going to.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, it's it's it's well the straight men that are
going on Broadway or dragged there by their wives and girlfriends.
I'm telling you now, you.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Know the really amazing thing. The National Border Preview, very
prestigious group of critics has called it the number one
picture of the year. Now that's way beyond what it deserves.
But it's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Here's the thing, my twelve year old, it was just
me and her. Yes, she loved it. I told you.
The only reason she really wanted to go Ariana Grande.
That's why it's making all the money. It is, probably
and she loved it. She's and she can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Sure, there's certain people going for Cynthia Rebo.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Well I'm talking about not her age, not the kids.
They don't know who that heck that is. She doesn't
know who that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Is, so how would they know?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Ariana Grande from.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Her singing or her music career.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Pops Cynthia Aribo has got a music career.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
She doesn't. They didn't know. She didn't know, but because
she had her, because she had her little friend was
texting her. Did you know that the lady that is
it Alphaba is bald? Alpha is bald, and so they don't.
They don't know who that is. They have no idea
who she is. All they knew was Arianna Grande because
she's got the singing. She's a huge I mean, she's
(17:13):
a big name, Ariana Grande.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
They came up with the name Alphaba, which is not
part of the original story. Of course, she's she becomes
the wicked, wicked, wiched, wicked Witch of the West. Right,
But why the name Alphaba?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It wasn't in the original book.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It absolutely was not.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay, why I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well, when you say the original book, it was not
in the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It was in
the book Wicked.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, So it was in the book. So it wasn't
that book Wicked. But when she but the but the
witch was in the first was in Wizard of Oz. Right,
she died, she gets there she's the one that gets
the waters poured on her. She's melting, She's melting. I
think that was Alphaba.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well well, but it was not called Alphaba until the
move the book Wicked. Okay, the author Gregory Maguire took
the name of the guy that wrote The Wonderful is
It of Oz L. Frank Baum and took the parts
of L and the fr and the BA and put
them together and create the name Alphabet.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That's wow only we Yeah musical band.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I don't think the Wicked Witch had a name. I
don't think either of the will which we sad names.
They were just a wicked witch.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And I think I think Glinda was named.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, Glinda Wie. But she was a good Yeah, but
she was a good witch. But she was the bad,
the evil. They were just the wicked Witch of the
East and Wicked Witch of the West. If I remember,
I used to watch that movie a lot when I
was a kid. I used to like it, right those kids,
okay with you anyway, it wasn't for me, but you
know what, my twelve year old loved it so money
well spent.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, believe me, A year from now, she's going to
want to see the second half.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh, she already does, she said, she can't wait. She
saw the because they, you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Know, they took this musical which only lasts two and
a half hours on stage with an intermission, and then
they two and a half of our movie, which is
only the first half of the story.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, so they're making it into a five hour movie
essentially of cut into too right, exactly. Yeah, they're good. Well,
I mean, you know, they're not dumb.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They know what they're doing, and they made a pot
of money on its opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So so then, so after I dropped my daughter off
and I came home to spend the rest of my
vacation before coming back to work here. There wasn't a
whole lot at the theaters. But I wanted to see
a dad movie. I wanted to see something that I
wanted to see, right, And I'm like, well, what's what's out?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Gladiator too? But I never saw the first one. Well,
I found the first one on a streaming service and
I didn't have to pay, and I ended up watching
it with ads, you know. But but I'm pretty sure
it wasn't edited because you see heads flying and stuff.
So I'm guessing it's not editing, but are you not entertained?
Are you not? But uh wow, Russell Crowe was amazing
(19:56):
in that. It's just it's like he's a shell of
what he once was. He's still good, you know what
he is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But Joaquin Phoenix is also good in it as well.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Joaquin Phoenix, And it's funny to see Joaquin going back
to that part. He's got kind of a chubby face.
Now he's like one hundred pounds because you see a joker.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But anyway, for the joker.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So I saw so, I saw that, and the first
thirty minutes it was a lot of like fighting and
you know, with the war stuff, and I'm just like, no,
the first one at home, I'm watching it and I'm
just like, oh my god, let me just get myself
through the first half hour. I don't know what I'm
that way. I'm different than most men as far as
(20:36):
those kind of movies. I need a script, I need
a story, I need dialogue, and then get me the action.
But they pretty much start with the action in the
first dat Anyway, eventually it gets into gets into the story. Yeah,
those those are really annoying, but it gets into the story.
And then I'm getting sucked in by the story. And
by the end of that movie, I'm like, holy crap,
(20:58):
Now I got a C number two and I go
and I see Gladiator too, and I loved it. So
now I'm a and now I'm a Now I'm a fan.
And I was reading up on a lot of these
characters were real people, but they've obviously changed a lot.
But you know in the stories, but just.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Really, no one has very little to do with the
first Gladiator.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It really doesn't you have the connection. Well I don't
know is that a spoiler because they don't tell you
till later in the movie, but there is there is
a there. Well you know what if you go to
IMDb and you see the characters' names, you know, look
it's uh, It's it's uh Lucius from the first movie
grown Up but it's a different actor. But yeah, he's
(21:36):
he's he's essentially the star of the second movie.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I remember how we're talking who will take the week,
Wicked or Gladiator two?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And originally you told me Gladiator and then you change
your mind.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I did change my mind, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Glad you did it, and I'm glad I did. Yeah,
of course.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, I have to I have to say that I
think that uh, what's his name that did the music
for the first to Moana. I'm flaking on his name.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Miranda, the Emanuel Miranda, Manuel Miranda.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yes, he chose to do the Lion King movie, the
Mufasa movie in the prequel, right, I think he I
think he made the wrong decision. I really do. I
think that's going to be a bomb. I'm glad Disney's
having some success with these movies, you know, but I
I with Mowana and then of course Deadpool and Deadpool's
(22:26):
their movie. The latest Deadpool and Wolverine is Disney.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Right, But they made so much money on Mawana to
they can afford a toastubber of Mufasa.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Do you see that coming though? With Mufasa? Everybody sees
it coming with snow White.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But well, I mean I saw the quote live action
remake of the Lion that was pretty and if it's
going to be anything like that, it's going to be
It's going to be a turkey.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah. Yeah, it just it just looks my little one
doesn't have any interest in it, My thirty one year
old I think she's still thirty one she's thirty two.
I can't figure out she was born. No, she's thirty one. Gosh,
I'm a horrible father. But anyway, Uh, she's not even interested.
And she grew up in the nineties with you know,
with the original Lion King. I think she wanted to
(23:11):
go see the one you just referenced that came out
and we did, and she hated it. It was horrible
in her words, and so I guess it just turned
her off to anything. And I think they've done that.
I just don't think I think songs right, But nobody,
nobody but you is going specifically for his music, because
(23:33):
if they did that other movie that he did, The Heights.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Is going.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
If they did that, The Heights would have been a
big hit, which I enjoyed. I like The Heights. I
thought it was a great movie.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Did great things for John Chew's career. The director directed.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I didn't remember he'd wow. All right, all right, I
think we can wrap up here. I don't know what's
coming out in the next week or so, but I'll be.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Angelia and Joelie is Murray callis next week, okay, looking
forward to that. Of course, that's going to lose you
as well.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Go see The Order.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The Order is going to be a good, a good
dad violent movie for you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I'll look for that. I might see Glady Eat or
two again. I'm going to check out this Y two
K and I, and if I do, I'll let you
know how bad it might be.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Mile Mooney, Wow, Yeah, it's not interesting.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Huh, it's like, wait, where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But where's he been? Because he must have gone at
least a decade.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't think he's gone that. I don't think he's
gone that long. I have to look it up, but
it's been a few years. I'm sure. I tuned in recently,
and I don't recognize hardly anybody in that cast anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's very It's true, it's true, very strange.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah. I mean I still check out the cold opening
because they've usually been very political, yeah, and quite fun.
But I want to always tune out by the time
they get to the music segment.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well, because they get as if you've noticed, and it's
always pretty much been this way, at least in modern times.
They have their they have their skits or sketches, skits,
whatever you want to call it, and it's like the
ones they consider the best they do first, and as
you go, as it goes through the night, it's they
get lesser and lesser.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
If they really do wine down.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, so I think that's how they I don't
know if they do that just in case they run
out of time or what it is. They didn't include that.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
People are going to start falling asleep. Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They didn't include that kind of stuff in the movie
about how Saturday Night, about how it started, so that
would have been interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
But well, they were just in that that was the
very first show. They were just finding their way. They
didn't have the formula down yet.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'd like to see a sequel to that. I think
they should do a sequel to that. They could do
the story.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
About about how the second show they could do.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
How Eddie Murphy had to save the show in like
nineteen eighty or somewhere around there, because the show is
about to At various.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Times, different people helped save the show. Tina Fey I
did great, Sarah Palin that's helped save the show, and.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Then KSh and destroyed John mccam doing Trump, Oh okay, yeah,
Darryl Hammond, Daryl Hammond did a good Trump, but then
they had the killer doing Trump right, right right?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I went blank? You on his name? The guy who
shot Rust?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, how do you real quick before we wrap up?
Since I'm just you know whatever, and we're doing this
late anyway and I'm getting nothing done today. How do
you feel about them actually finishing that movie and coming
out with it after something like that happened. I feel
like that's just the way that it happened. I know
that's happened before.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well do you remember the Twilight z owned the movie?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah? Somebody died?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, and they did that and I actually loved that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. There's no reason why. I mean,
it was. It was a horrible thing that happened, But
why should that affect the way we received this movie.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I think it's because of the way it went down.
I think there's a difference.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So poorly handled Doug gree But I don't know. And
you know, maybe it won't be a bunch of a
movie in the first place, but I'd see it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I don't think any of that's going to help Baldwin.
That's the name, Yes, all right. The Crow was the
other one. I was trying to think of the other
one where Yeah, that's exactly right, and they ended up
coming out with it me and he was literally shot,
all right. I think it was a it was the
blanks or whatever that hit him in the heart or something.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
But yeah, no, that that's much better parallel.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're right, yeah, but all right, well we will we
will wrap up here because I think we've gone probably
thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I don't know something, Lord knows.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, all right, we'll catch you next week.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
All right, Well, I'll have more to say.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Go see the order
Speaker 1 (27:55):
All right, we'll look for it.
