Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to entertain me. I'm Heather Brooker. This weekend, it's
all about How to Train Your Dragon at the box
Office and the new rom com Materialist. I had so
much fun joining Gary and Shannon on The Gary and
Shannon Show to give you the insight scoop on what
you can see at the box office this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Heather Brooker joins us on Fridays, most commonly to talk
about stuff that's going on in entertainment. Yeah, just like
we talked about Lelo and Stitch a couple of weeks ago,
where they are remaking a show, a live action show
based on an animated show, The How to Train Your Dragon.
People have come out in force with this new live
action which looks spectacular.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It really is. It's a beautifully done movie, and honestly,
they have spent the last fifteen years, you know, basically
working on it. They really started a couple of years ago.
But the original How To Train Your Dragon came out
in twenty ten and it was a success. I mean
a lot of people really enjoyed that movie, and I
guess the director thought, I want to make a live
action version of this, so he's got Gerard Butler back
(00:59):
who is playing the dad in it, and it is.
It's a really well done movie. The effects are great,
the story is great. I wouldn't say it's a shot
for shot remake of the animated but it's definitely very close.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Gerard Butler thankfully plays the guy that he voiced in
the original.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, which is good. That's good for them. Apparently they
had to kind of convince him. They brought him out.
He says, they brought the director, brought him out to
Belfast and showed him the set and showed him the
vision and they were like, this is what we want
to do. And then he was like, all right, I
see it. I'm in and he does a He's probably
one of the best parts of the movie. He is
really great in this film. Is it the same movie
(01:36):
except just okay, same story, same everything. Toothless is there.
You know. It's about finding your people, helping people who
may be a little different, you know, and and that
sort of thing, not judging a book by its cover,
that sort of messaging. All still there. It's just a
beautifully done movie, great for families, all ages. It's getting
it's really well received.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right now. Okay, so I saw a trail and I've
seen some promotions for The Materialists, which is to me
a classic movie that I will consume as soon as
I can because I love a rom com.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
This is a rom com you're definitely going to love.
I mean, listen, this is do you pick the hot,
rich guy or do you pick the hot not rich guy?
What a tough decision for Dakota Johnson in this movie.
This is a return to the classic rom coms that
we love. It's very beautifully done. It's an a twenty
four film, beautifully shot, really funny, charming Dakota, Dakota Fanning, Pedro, Pascal,
(02:34):
Chris Evans all infinitely watchable in this movie. So wait,
what is this face? Gary? Oh, it's not for him
and it needs exactly no. But it's funny. And the
thing is is, I.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Think you do like rom com you just don't like
to think you do. Gary just was like, no, my
husband loves rom coms.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But he's a better man than I. It's a good man,
you know. He likes the cute stuff. But it's a
good one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I mean a lot of men really do like rom coms,
they just don't like to pretend they do.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Too often the dudes look like morons in rom Co,
but this one's got Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans and
they're not.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And it's actually it's got a little bit of heart
behind it. It's really good story. It's an original story.
We're always saying we want some original stories at the
box office and we need more like lighthearted stuff. It's
either it feels like it's either like Avengers type, you know,
End of the World kind of movies, or like horror,
and this is a nice in between. And it's got
a huge cast and I think people really be surprised.
(03:38):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Even the formulaic matchmaker making matches.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
For other people accident makes a match for herself. She
has to decide. They're all formulaic though. I mean every
rom tom is.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You get to be twenty years old, you realize that
all of them are. The story is told over and
over the same way.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And if we watch it, because we did a story
and we love that exactly anymore. And this is definitely
one that people are gonna enjoy. I think Spaceballs, what's
going on with Spaceballs? Oh my gosh, they're remaking space Balls,
you guys, Amazon and MGM MA John MGM Studios. They
have given the green light to a new Spaceballs in
twenty twenty seven. It's going to come out and Bill
(04:22):
Pullman is in it, and of course he played the
Han solo esque character, you know, and mel Brooks is
going to be returning.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
We better get this thing under production. Mel Brooks is
ninety six.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
No, why did that happen? Get in there right, Yeah,
he's gonna starting. We need to front load those mel
Brooks scenes, get those shot immediately. Yeah, we don't know
what's going to happen. Well, they're also hoping that, you know,
his son will be in it. And what's funny to
me is like Bill Pullman apparently for years try to
distance himself from Spaceballs. And I was like when I
(04:55):
read that, like what this movie is amazing, It's so stupid,
it's so funny. People still quote it to this day.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, and then he did Independence Day and realize, you
know what I can, I can do the dumb Ones everything.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, just take that check and go home. But yeah,
but they're remaking space Balls. I for one am really excited.
I hope they can still capture the absolute lunacy that
was the original Spaceballs.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I mean it's it's kind of it's like Star Wars
but innuendo jokes again and bathroom humor.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh for sure, yeah, cold. Literally you at bar remember
as Barack? Dress up as bar for Halloween. Look at me.
It's like a big lady. I can be bar I
just like don't understand.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I mean I do. I get the desire to remake things.
It's just for me, like Spaceballs, and maybe just because,
like you know, you see something growing up and it
should always exist exactly that way. But you know, I
understand that you want it remade for different generations and
for new generations to appreciate that type of vibe, that humor.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And it's totally a cash grab, you guys, all of this,
that's what all of it is.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I do love the idea of Bill Pullman's son Lewis,
being involved.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, he's great and just played Bob in Thunderbolts, so
so people will be familiar with him.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Also from Lessons in Chemistry. He was a great character. Yeah, nominated, yes, yeah,
great actor.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I think it's going to be just again leaning into
that nostalgia that we all loved for the original. People
are going to take their kids to go see it.
And try to see how many inappropriate mel Brooks type
jokes can be.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Made, all of them all he's been saving.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Up and then really quickly, it's Friday thirteenth. Guys, are
you going to watch the movie tonight? Are you going
to go home and put you get your horror on?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I never really got them. Where are you from? You're
saying that funny? What do you mean we horror?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Oh? I just said it dramatically horror. Okay, the horror.
I can't say where I'm from because some lady called
one time. It was like drink every time Heather Brooker
says she's from Oklahoma, and I was like, Oh, I
had no idea you were from Oklahoma? Said that. Yeah,
I was like, how rude. Like now, Michael Monks I get.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
He brings up the Kentucky thing, all the freakings into it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
My god, that's where he songs in Kentucky. You guys,
come see my show Friday tonight. Oh yes, yeah, come
see my show. Where is it? I'm at the Comedy
Chateau just Oklahoma pronunciation Comedy Chateau in North Hollywood. I'm
going to be there tonight. Seven thirty is the show
you can use the code Heather Brooker, and I'll give
you some free to This is stand up, stand up comedy.
(07:34):
Do you get real dirty when you do it? You know,
sometimes I will be careful because I have a real job. Now,
I'm not just like a free wheeling you know.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Look around this whole place is crawling with degenerate, profane people.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Last time I did show, I told you somebody came
in and was like, when I'm walked, careful women are
rarely rewarded. That's true. That's the good point. That's my
power to the women. And then a direct look at
Shannon when he says that, yeah, well I'm not rewarded
Monday through Friday kind of one? Is it because you're careful?
What care father? Thank you, Thank you guys, you're the best.
