Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to entertain Me. I'm Heather Brooker. This week, it
is going to be a battle of the sequels at
the box office. You got Naked Gun, the Naked Gun,
the twenty twenty five version that's opening up this weekend.
They're calling it a legacy sequel because it is sort
of a continuation of the Naked Gun series of movies,
(00:23):
continuation of the story. It's not totally redone totally reinvented.
You're gonna recognize some familiar names and definitely a familiar
tone to the movie. And also we've got The Bad
Guys too. I saw this with my daughter Channing and
we really enjoyed it. She was a fan of the
original movie, The Bad Guys when it came out a
(00:43):
few years ago, and now we're all about the Bad
Guys too. There's also a couple more smaller films that
are coming out. This week's sketch is a movie that
you want to be on the lookout for. But you
know what we're going to do. We are going to
deep dive into all of this on the Entertainment segment
this week with Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Heather joins us to talk about entertainment.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Let's start with the most entertaining aspect of this weekend,
which is the ice House tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, yes, so I'm gonna be the ice House tonight.
If you guys want to come out.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
For the late show, what's your set gonna be about?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I'm writing some new stuff for tonight. I'm a little
I'm always excited, a little nervous whenever I try to
put new stuff out there because you never know if
people are gonna be like, yeah, it was great or wow, she's.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Stunk up a place.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
So how does that happen? Do you start down a
new subject matter and then if people aren't feeling it,
do you pivot or do you have to like let
it percolate and build? You know?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Then you see, I think it's you have to kind
of feel if the audience is a little bit with you,
because if they are, then it's kind of a fun
challenge to try to win them over and be like, Okay,
I'm gonna keep pushing it. Part of it, too, is
like you just have to get it out and say
it for a few times and see what works and
what resonates with people. So you almost have to just
push past that awkwardness if they aren't feeling it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Are you a writer, I mean in that you write
it down for a word, the way you want the
story to be.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Or are you just an.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Idea, like like a word or a grocery store funny story.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
No, I will. I'm a writer, so I will write
everything out and then I will go through and be like, oh,
I don't like the way that sounded, and then I
say it out loud.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I also use my poor husband a lot as my
sounding board, so I'm like, hey, listen to this.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That would be tough because husbands don't always understand humor.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I'm very just funny.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Because he's not laughing at you doesn't mean he's not laughing,
trust me.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But your husband is very smart.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Okay, I get it. I'm not funny. But is that
is that a challenge? Does tell it you like it is?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Or will?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
We've been together for twenty five years, yes, a long time.
He knows me inside out. He knows when I've said
something funny, and he, you know, knows if something is
a little like that might be too much. But ultimately
it's up to me what I decide if I want
to say something on stage or not, like there's been
sometimes where he's like, I wouldn't say that. I'm like,
I'm gonna do it anyway, just to see what happens. Yeah,
(03:04):
and what does he pull you back from?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Is it like you say, I want to do a
whole set on rectums or butts or butts and he's like,
I don't know if you want to do that. And
then you're like, I'm doubling down, honey, I'm going to
do ten minutes on butts.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Well, I'm going to bring it back up again later
on the show.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It is going to come back around if there's a butt,
if there's a butt, comments not getting it, I'm getting
I remember the whole butt dive yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It was got butt deep dive. It was a health segment,
wellness segment.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
From the person who has yet to have his colonoscopy.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That doesn't prevent me from talking about it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Listen, I am in the same boat. My doctor literally
just told me on Monday I am at that age
where I need to go have one. So I was
listening to your butt talk.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I have a call, right, I have a call. I
need to get back to schedule that we should all
do it together.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh my gosh, group calonoscopy.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Come on, there's gotta be a discount in there.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Do they do those to ghost?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I mean, like, could they bring the equipment here?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They have to knock you out.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Jahn did some sort of procedure on the air, and
I thought it was a colonoscope.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Prostate exams, Oh, prostate exams.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He did that on the air, and they.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Were broadcasting remotely from a baseball field, and he did
it in like a shed, like on a dirt ground.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It was pretty John Coebolt, the old man yelling at
the sky, John Colebolt, Yeah, wow.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Ice House. The Renegades is the show that's tonight. It's
the late show if you can stay up that late.
If I can stipulate, I'm in for Krozier today, so
I'm gonna be working all day.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'll be here and then I'm gonna literally leave and
go right to the club. And if you can come out,
that'd be great. I would love to see y'all.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Nine five.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Do you say any bad words?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I do know I say or not a lot of
bad words, because that's not generally my mo o. But
I feel like a well placed F bomb is sometimes
a good time.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Sure, Sure, do you place the f's ahead of time
or do you do it when you feels naturally.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It feels when it feels natural, because I feel like
when people pre plan their swears it feels a little lazy. Yeah,
So you just got to feel the moment and feel
the crowd.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I love the Naked Gun catalog. I grew up watching these.
My dad got a kick out of these as somebody
who's not into stupid humor but loved this kind of stuff,
And I'm very excited to see the reboot.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Is it good?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I will say I have not seen reviews this positive
for a spoof comedy probably ever. The overall the general
consensus of this is that it's really funny and it
comes out like a shotgun right from the first minute.
People are like, oh my gosh. So to give you
a little vacstroy on this. It is produced by Seth MacFarlane,
(05:43):
so if you enjoy that type of his type of humor,
you're gonna enjoy this version of Naked Gun and Leah
almost had Leslie Nielsen, but it is Liam Neeson, which
is very similar. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It is a little time Definitely.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
People are noticing that there's a lot of similar similarities
there between their names, but Liam Neeson is in this
seventy six years old.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Now I'm a little bit worried because I feel like
they're forcing the romance publicity wise with Liam Neeson and
Pamela Anderson, and that makes me feel like they're tepid
when it comes to how many people are gonna turn
out to see this.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I think there is a little bit of that because
they are like kind of adoringly looking at each other
and whatever. And I saw an interview yesterday where they
were like, what's your favorite movie and he's like the
one with pam Like ew, So I'm like, out of
all your movies, okay, but they seem to genuinely like
each other, I'll say that, yeah, but this movie if
what's fun about this is that it's going to push
(06:41):
the envelope we have. We're seeing a return here to
the movies that are if you're easily offended, you're not
gonna like it. If you don't like, you know, wiener jokes.
Can I say wiener jokes?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You're damn right.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
If you don't like those kinds of jokes, you know,
poop and fart jokes, whatever, you're not going to enjoy this.
This is truly a return into that type of comedy
that really pushes the envelope.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Makes us all feel with his children.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yes, in this one, he kind of he's reminiscing. He
plays a Dreben junior, so he's Frank Drebin's son, and he's.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's not a reboot necessarily.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
No, they're calling it a legacy sequel. Yeah, they're calling
it a legacy sequel. That's the term I've heard. And
he's like a cop in La who is harkening back
to the time, you know, when he used to use
his gun to cut in line at the coffee shop.
You know, he misses those times what a cop could
be a cop and you know, so it's kind of
it's very edgy in that way. And some people may
(07:36):
leg it, some people may not, but everybody who major
critics are saying it's really fun.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I think it's also great to see Liam Neeson in
the comedy world, sure, especially considering how incredible an actor
he has been. Yes, I mean to go from something
like oh, I don't know Shindler's List right to the
Naked Gun movies.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right, have you noticed on some of these actors who've
had a world career. Towards the end of their career,
they all start doing comedies, maybe because they're just burned out.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, Leslie Nielsen was a fantastic dramatic dramatic actor before
we got into the Airplane movie.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, well, I think people will be pleasantly surprised on
how much fun he's having with this one. I think
they're also going to be pleasantly surprised with The Bad
Guys too. If you had little kids that saw this
years ago and you enjoyed it as a family when
the first Bad Guys came out, you're really gonna like
this one. The uppianni the animation is great, the characters
are a lot of fun. So it's a good movie
(08:30):
to watch.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Is it just villains that I haven't seen?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The original Bad Guys is a group of bad guys
played by Sam Rockwell, Mark Maren Aquafina, Craig Robinson. They
all decide at the end of the movie they're gonna
be good and they're gonna turn good. And this sort
of follows that storyline of how they try to be
good and actually end up being heroes.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And then I saw the images for Sketch which looks
pretty great, but I don't know anything about the story.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So this is about a little girl who draws in
her sketch book these characters and from her imagination, and
it falls her sketchbook falls in a magical pond that
somehow turns these sketch characters from her imagination into real life.
And it's beautifully done. It's a sweet story, and it
is stars Tony Hale and Darcy Carden, who are wonderful,
(09:19):
I think, just really fun actors. And it's a great
movie for the family. It's you know, it's a it's
a nice family alternative. If you're don't if you don't
want to go see Naked Gun, then for sure Sketch
or Bad Guys Too are great alternatives.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
It seems like there's a dark side of sketch. There
is here in your tone.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
There is, but I know you guys are like, we
don't want to hear about that. That's true, all right,
Well there is like somebody dies, Oh.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
A kid's movie where somebody dies and then she finds hope,
hope again. Yeah, it looked it looked like there was
gonna be some depression.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
There for sure is some of that.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, I can spot it.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know what, the kind of tricky with their animation.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We need that uplifting moments at the movie is right,
But this is a battle of the sequels this weekend.
So you can go and see your Naked Gun, your
Bad Guys too, you know, or an original movie like.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Sketch or The Renegades, Tonight, Ice House, The Late Show.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Have you ever Heather? Have you ever heard of a doctor?
Butthole characters were listening yesterday? I have not is not
going to start calling? Is he stop sending emails?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Is that going to be Gary's new nickname?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Oh, he's trying to make it happen, and we're not
signing off on that.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'll do it.
Speaker 5 (10:35):

one of our nuggets. Is it an OnlyFans, You'll have
