Welcome back to entertain Me, a show where we cover
all things entertainment from Sokal to the silver screen. I'm Heatherbrooker.
Devilware's product is still going strong at the box office,
and I wanted to hear what Shannon thought of the movie.
She went and saw it last week, so we're going
to get to hear from her today and she's gonna
tell us what she thought of the movie. And if
(00:22):
you're a fan of those classic video games like Mortal Kombat,
well you're in luck because there is another Mortal Kombat
movie at the box office this weekend. And have you
ever heard of a mom influencer, a mommy influencer. Well,
there's a very funny new movie from a very funny
writer and actress named Jill Kargman out this week and
(00:44):
it is called Influenced. So if you want to see
some influencers being sort of skewered on screen, that might
be the movie for you. But we're going to talk
about all of it this week on Gary and Shannon
on the Entertainment Report. I'm Heather Brooker here, and you
start start the interview with what's your name?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, this is entertain News.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Heather joins us, Hi, good morning, Hi, we're a little
earlier than usual to what a treat for us? What
a tree for me?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Breakfast time?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Joy?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is oh, I love it.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Heather's wearing her Ride the D shirt gays.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Right, and I will be sharing it on the social
media everywhere. I'm sorry. That wasn't a proble.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Husband, think when you leave house in the house and
a shirt like that, the one, the one? What did
you say?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
He goes, hah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I like that. Good for him.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, he was like, huh, that's good. I get it.
He's heard me say worse and wear much worse like
you guys. I have a whole cost you closet full
of clothes that I wear as an actor and.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I am an actor and as as wid home at.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Home and just time, I will wear something walking out
of the house like and maybe a nurse's scrubtop or
something easy see me wear weird stuff. Which, by the way,
one time we had a plumber come over.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You did you no, no, no, we need we need
sex music for this. It's a plumber.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, So we have this plumber come over. Yeah, and
my husband was there at home. I was at work
and you know, as an actor, we have a bunch
of costumes. There's wigs, there's accessories, there's all kinds of stuff.
I have a whole drawer full of insane wig because
I used to be at the Groundlings. All right, yeah,
and uh my husband was in the bathroom, I guess,
and they were looking at something in the plumber and
(02:43):
one of my wigs. The plumber goes, hey, is that
a wig? And my husband goes, yeah, my wife's an actor.
And he goes, sure's buddy, yeah, and gave one of
these and Chris was like, I have never felt so
uncomfortable having to say no, she really is an actor.
And he goes and then I felt like I needed
to give your resume and like.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Protest too much? Yeaheah yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And the guy was like, sure, buddy, yeah, my wife's
an actor too.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Oh my god, that's so great. So they did they
look up, they did. Okay, good, what you didn't see
where that started with Devil?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Where's product too? Came out? Shannon saw it. I want
to hear it all before you start.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I was literally invited to go watch this movie.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Okay, bye, It's not like it. It was a friend
it's not like it's the Vagina Monologues or whatever. It's
a it's a they're not going to make you wear product,
wide release movie that most people enjoy.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Did you go see it? What just happened? Oh my god,
you guys have been drinking already. No way, not okay.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
So I saw it. I thought it was perfect. Listen.
I didn't go expecting a cinematic treasure. All right, you
know what, I'd loved about it, And you had made
mention that and we're not spoiling anything here, but you
had made mention that the way that Miranda treats Andy
was ridiculous because and I'm just paraphrasing what you said,
(04:18):
because of and it's twenty years later. Andy's gone out
in the world and she's experiencing she's a successful journalist.
Why doesn't she get respect? And I thought that was
a vehicle to show that Miranda still doesn't value Andy,
because Andy is an altruist who survives by not making money.
(04:39):
She's a journalist. And Anna went, I mean Miranda is
seated in what makes money and what makes the wheels
kind of churn when it comes to commerce in this world,
and that Andy still doesn't get it, like, all, how,
bless your heart, you're a journalist, you still don't get
how mommy and daddy make the money around here. And
(05:00):
then it was such a good kind of full circle
when throughout the movie Miranda sees the value in journalism
and what it can do and how these two worlds
can work together and nobody's values are compromised. Right, So, like,
I thought that was really well done.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know, what did you think about them making Miranda
more of like, I don't want to say fumbling, but
there was that moment with the coat where she's like,
doesn't know how to hang up her own coat.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I didn't like that moment.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I wondered if you how you felt about that, because
it was I think meant to be comedic. But people
were like, Miranda would never.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Miranda would never. She would throw the coat on the
floor before she hung it up. And the reason I
didn't like that moment is because it made her look old.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yes, that's what I thought. I was like, she's not
inept or old, she just wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
And can we talk about how Meryl Streep looks better
twenty years after? My god, everything, her body, her bones, structure.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I don't know what deal she made with the devil,
but I would like it.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Was death becomes her. It was death becomes or she
took the potion in nineteen ninety two. You're right she did.
I'm so glad her aunt, Goldie Hawn they both took
the f and potion. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well, I'm so glad that you liked it. There's it's
been interesting to see online because some people are like, oh,
this wasn't like the original, and I'm like, well, it's
not going to be like the original. There were moments
where I wish Andy had evolved a little bit more.
A lot of people felt like the love story for
her wasn't death.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
They were so unnecessary. That was my only Joe and I, Joe,
Kwana and I went to see it on Wednesday. We
walked out in our first thing. Well, we looked at
each other and I'm not ruining anything because the writing
was no point in that part. That plot, you know,
journey was when they're like, let's just be not perfect
together and I just wanted to find bullet, you know,
(06:52):
give me the gun. And Joe and I looked at
each other's rolled our eyes and then as we're walking out.
The first thing we said to each other was that
was such an un necessary waste of time.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, they didn't need to do that, And I think
that was a general consensus. She didn't. Can she not
just be single in her forties and a career woman,
because like, it isn't like you have to have love
or have to have an attachment to be I.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Think it was like this weird, this is what dating's
like when you're forty five.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, and this is the dude, this is the guy,
you know what I mean. People were rioting on him,
and I'm like, oh, he's charming. He is a sweet
you know, charming. He was fine, He was fine. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
It wasn't a movie star. He was just a normal dude.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A normal dude.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, I'm glad you saw it, and I'm glad you
liked it. I think it's still doing huge numbers at
the box office. People are loving it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
The Emily Blunt twist was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yes, that was fun. You know. Did you like the
ending with I know you have to go to ring?
Oh my god, Okay, let's go to bring we'll talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Is there anything coming up this weekend that's gonna knock
it off.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I don't think so. I meant Mortal Kombat, which we
can talk about when you come back, is coming out
this weekend. But I don't think so. I think it's
going to keep doing well.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I just read an article in People, by the way
with those three I'm in Meryll and Anne and Emily
and Anne Hathaways sime out. When she did the first movie,
she was twenty two. She was a mess. She didn't
know what she wanted in life. She was she's like
and that reflected that, and you can see definitely the
difference in her characters now versus then. Yes and then
Also it was kind of a cool article because they
(08:18):
talked about cutting remarks made by a superior when you're
young and how you remember those your whole career. They
can have a huge fact right, Like we can all
look back to the time when we were in her
early twenties and a boss said something new us and
you're like, or anybody's yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But now when it happens, I feel like you can
just kind of go okay whatever. Gary got distracted with
Stara Larson.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Zara Larson's on the Today Show today.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Gyrating g NEI a moment no, it's I don't what,
don't you what.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just it's just like, good morning, here's my boobs.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Here's all of it, here's all of it.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
You can't really see any of it enough.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Are you excited for Mortal Kombat too?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Mortal Kombat, guys, I never got into that. That was
a game that was never played it.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I had roommates, we all played it, but it was
it wasn't something that struck me to the point where
I needed to finish it, continue the story journeyed, Yeah,
you don't need a deeper dive into the journey.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, this one is coming out and it is sort
of an extension of the first one that came out
in twenty twenty one. A lot of fans at the
time Mortal Kombat is basically a video game that is
about a deadly fight. I mean, you know, that's.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Literally the whole thing is Mortal finish them and pull
the spine out of the guy and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So when the first movie came out, they didn't really
have the big epic fight, and people fans were like, wait,
where's the combat part of this?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But now apparently they've gone way overboard and like it's
all just fight fight, fight, fight, fight, and there is
lots of the big tournament that everyone's excited about. They say,
this story is a little bit of a mess. There's
too many characters. It's a big ensemble piece. But if
you like the Mortal Kombat games, if you like this world,
you'll definitely enjoy this movie.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I saw a trailer, actually it was before Devil where
was Proud of Too, about the Billie Eilish concert film,
And I saw a quote from her recently talking about
people altering their face as they age, and she said
that she does not want to ever do that because
(10:21):
she wants her kids to be able to look at
her face and see themselves in it. And it's a
good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think that that is aspirational. I think that maybe
when she hits fifty and how the hot pressures of
Hollywood in the music industry hit her a little bit,
she might change. That's true because I also have been like,
very staunchly like I don't really want to do that,
you know, just because I can't afford it. No, I
don't really want to do you know. But I mostly
(10:49):
you start to get older and you start to see
things in your flaws and you're like, well, maybe I
do a little something. Maybe I try a little something.
We'll see how that changes.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Zero wrinkles.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh my god, it's because all I'm a fat pushes
it out. I have natural fat. That is out my
wrinkles now. But this movie, You Guys, is directed co
directed by James Cameron and Billie Eilish, so this is
like the first time ever that two Oscar winners are
directing a movie together.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
James Cameron, has he done a concert film before?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You're gonna thought, You're gonna ask, has he done anything before?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What's that guy done? I don't think so, I'm not
that I know of. But this apparently the whole film
really centers between his uh and hers, like I don't
want to say relationship, but he's really the only one
in the movies she talks to. The rest of it
is either her talking to the camera and sort of
narrating her experiences in the tour and then just interacting
(11:43):
with James Cameron. She doesn't really interact with anybody else
in the film, so it's a you know, this is
her third concert film, so.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I'm fascinated by her. Yeah, I don't know enough. I
don't I know a little. You know, she makes music
at her parents' house with her brother, and she's.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Not This is the first tour she's done without him, Yeah,
without Phineas. This is a this is her on her own.
But she started as a dancer. Sorry, go ahead, No,
I didn't know that either. Yeah, she used to be
a dancer. That's what she originally was going to do.
And then when she was about thirteen or fourteen, her
dance instructor said knew that she also was sang and
was like, hey, would you and your brother like want
(12:18):
to create just like a song to dance to, you know,
a track for our group. And they did and it
went crazy viral on SoundCloud, and that's how she started
her music of dance.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I think she did lyrical Okay, I think that makes
sense if you were going to I think a song
for that.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, she probably did a little bit of everything.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I mean. In contrary to Gary's issue with Larsen on
the Today Show or whatever in her showing a lot,
a lot a lot, Billie Eilish famously has shown nothing nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
She likes to wear her long, baggy shorts and jerseys
and you know, she's not overly sexualized. It's sort of
the antithesis of a lot of other pop chart to me,
I like that. Yeah, it's the antithesis for sure. Another
movie you want to mention quickly is Influenced If you guys,
go and see that. It's skewers mom influencers and I
sort of love this. It stars Jill Cargman. She used
(13:08):
to have a show called Odd Mom Out. And I
know so many of the people in this world that
I sort of love it. I know, I sort of
love that there's a little bit of scuring happening because
some of it is so ridiculous, the idea of people
using their kids to make money and desperately trying to
(13:28):
get a following online. And it's sort of the new
mommy bloggers. Is these mom influencers on social media?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, So it's gonna it's a really funny skewering of
this mom influencer world.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Sunday on your show.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, Sunday on KFI Live, We're going to do a
deeper dive with supervisor Janis Hahn and da Nathan Hockman
on the story that came out this week about Turner's
Outdoorsman and having one of the largest sales of guns
involved in crime in the state. We're gonna do we
talk to them a little bit about that, and then
we're going to talk about save the Cinema, you guys,
(14:03):
the Cineramadome that's been sitting empty for years and for
the first time in years, they're going to have a
public hearing on Tuesday. We're going to preview that what
they're going to be talking about and what may be
the future of the Cineramadome.

was no point in that part. That plot, you know,
journey was when they're like, let's just be not perfect
together and I just wanted to find bullet, you know,
(06:52):
give me the gun. And Joe and I looked at
each other's rolled our eyes and then as we're walking out.
The first thing we said to each other was that
was such an un necessary waste of time.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, they didn't need to do that, And I think
that was a general consensus. She didn't. Can she not
just be single in her forties and a career woman,
because like, it isn't like you have to have love
or have to have an attachment to be I.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Think it was like this weird, this is what dating's
like when you're forty five.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, and this is the dude, this is the guy,
you know what I mean. People were rioting on him,
and I'm like, oh, he's charming. He is a sweet
you know, charming. He was fine, He was fine. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
It wasn't a movie star. He was just a normal dude.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A normal dude.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, I'm glad you saw it, and I'm glad you
liked it. I think it's still doing huge numbers at
the box office. People are loving it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
The Emily Blunt twist was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yes, that was fun. You know. Did you like the
ending with I know you have to go to ring?
Oh my god, Okay, let's go to bring we'll talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Is there anything coming up this weekend that's gonna knock
it off.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I don't think so. I meant Mortal Kombat, which we
can talk about when you come back, is coming out
this weekend. But I don't think so. I think it's
going to keep doing well.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I just read an article in People, by the way
with those three I'm in Meryll and Anne and Emily
and Anne Hathaways sime out. When she did the first movie,
she was twenty two. She was a mess. She didn't
know what she wanted in life. She was she's like
and that reflected that, and you can see definitely the
difference in her characters now versus then. Yes and then
Also it was kind of a cool article because they
(08:18):
talked about cutting remarks made by a superior when you're
young and how you remember those your whole career. They
can have a huge fact right, Like we can all
look back to the time when we were in her
early twenties and a boss said something new us and
you're like, or anybody's yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But now when it happens, I feel like you can
just kind of go okay whatever. Gary got distracted with
Stara Larson.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Zara Larson's on the Today Show today.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Gyrating g NEI a moment no, it's I don't what,
don't you what.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just it's just like, good morning, here's my boobs.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Here's all of it, here's all of it.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
You can't really see any of it enough.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Are you excited for Mortal Kombat too?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Mortal Kombat, guys, I never got into that. That was
a game that was never played it.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I had roommates, we all played it, but it was
it wasn't something that struck me to the point where
I needed to finish it, continue the story journeyed, Yeah,
you don't need a deeper dive into the journey.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, this one is coming out and it is sort
of an extension of the first one that came out
in twenty twenty one. A lot of fans at the
time Mortal Kombat is basically a video game that is
about a deadly fight. I mean, you know, that's.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Literally the whole thing is Mortal finish them and pull
the spine out of the guy and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So when the first movie came out, they didn't really
have the big epic fight, and people fans were like, wait,
where's the combat part of this?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But now apparently they've gone way overboard and like it's
all just fight fight, fight, fight, fight, and there is
lots of the big tournament that everyone's excited about. They say,
this story is a little bit of a mess. There's
too many characters. It's a big ensemble piece. But if
you like the Mortal Kombat games, if you like this world,
you'll definitely enjoy this movie.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I saw a trailer, actually it was before Devil where
was Proud of Too, about the Billie Eilish concert film,
And I saw a quote from her recently talking about
people altering their face as they age, and she said
that she does not want to ever do that because
(10:21):
she wants her kids to be able to look at
her face and see themselves in it. And it's a
good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think that that is aspirational. I think that maybe
when she hits fifty and how the hot pressures of
Hollywood in the music industry hit her a little bit,
she might change. That's true because I also have been like,
very staunchly like I don't really want to do that,
you know, just because I can't afford it. No, I
don't really want to do you know. But I mostly
(10:49):
you start to get older and you start to see
things in your flaws and you're like, well, maybe I
do a little something. Maybe I try a little something.
We'll see how that changes.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Zero wrinkles.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Oh my god, it's because all I'm a fat pushes
it out. I have natural fat. That is out my
wrinkles now. But this movie, You Guys, is directed co
directed by James Cameron and Billie Eilish, so this is
like the first time ever that two Oscar winners are
directing a movie together.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
James Cameron, has he done a concert film before?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You're gonna thought, You're gonna ask, has he done anything before?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What's that guy done? I don't think so, I'm not
that I know of. But this apparently the whole film
really centers between his uh and hers, like I don't
want to say relationship, but he's really the only one
in the movies she talks to. The rest of it
is either her talking to the camera and sort of
narrating her experiences in the tour and then just interacting
(11:43):
with James Cameron. She doesn't really interact with anybody else
in the film, so it's a you know, this is
her third concert film, so.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I'm fascinated by her. Yeah, I don't know enough. I
don't I know a little. You know, she makes music
at her parents' house with her brother, and she's.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Not This is the first tour she's done without him, Yeah,
without Phineas. This is a this is her on her own.
But she started as a dancer. Sorry, go ahead, No,
I didn't know that either. Yeah, she used to be
a dancer. That's what she originally was going to do.
And then when she was about thirteen or fourteen, her
dance instructor said knew that she also was sang and
was like, hey, would you and your brother like want
(12:18):
to create just like a song to dance to, you know,
a track for our group. And they did and it
went crazy viral on SoundCloud, and that's how she started
her music of dance.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I think she did lyrical Okay, I think that makes
sense if you were going to I think a song
for that.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, she probably did a little bit of everything.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I mean. In contrary to Gary's issue with Larsen on
the Today Show or whatever in her showing a lot,
a lot a lot, Billie Eilish famously has shown nothing nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
She likes to wear her long, baggy shorts and jerseys
and you know, she's not overly sexualized. It's sort of
the antithesis of a lot of other pop chart to me,
I like that. Yeah, it's the antithesis for sure. Another
movie you want to mention quickly is Influenced If you guys,
go and see that. It's skewers mom influencers and I
sort of love this. It stars Jill Cargman. She used
(13:08):
to have a show called Odd Mom Out. And I
know so many of the people in this world that
I sort of love it. I know, I sort of
love that there's a little bit of scuring happening because
some of it is so ridiculous, the idea of people
using their kids to make money and desperately trying to
(13:28):
get a following online. And it's sort of the new
mommy bloggers. Is these mom influencers on social media?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, So it's gonna it's a really funny skewering of
this mom influencer world.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Sunday on your show.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, Sunday on KFI Live, We're going to do a
deeper dive with supervisor Janis Hahn and da Nathan Hockman
