Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Heather Brooker. Welcome to entertain me. There is
a lot happening in the world of entertainment this week
here in SoCal Disneyland is kicking off their seventieth anniversary celebration.
The park just launched Celebrate Happy Festivities. They'll have new parades,
nighttime events, and lots of themed merchandise. Now, I, for one,
(00:21):
am very excited to check all that out. My family
and I are big Disneyland fans and we are going
to be heading down to the park very soon to
participate in all of the fun. But the big news
this weekend is what's happening at the box office. And
on Fridays, I get to sit down with Gary and
Shannon of The Gary and Shannon Show and give you
guys an inside look at what is coming to the
box office this weekend. And let me tell you this weekend,
(00:44):
horror movie fans, Gary movie fans will be very excited
because Final Destination Bloodlines opens this weekend, and I joined
Gary and Shannon to tell you all about it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Heather, Jesus take the wheel taking the wheels.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hi friends, watch later on to take my mind off
of well a wandering dog can I just say.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
This is my favorite time of the week to talk
about movies and what to watch with you guys. I
love murder, story of Love, all the homeless story shenanigans
that we do, and all the Trump wackiness, but this
is my favorite like.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Part of the week. Okay. And if you want.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Something to take your mind off of almost losing your
dog today, whoa Final Destination Bloodlines is opening this weekend
and it is terrifying. This is the sixth installment of
the Final Destination series, first sequel in fourteen years, and
it is gonna be the film that kind of tell
(01:44):
us a little bit of the backstory of where this
Final Destination origin began, why death is constantly coming for
all these people. It's like the Bloodlines, you know, where
it traces back to. So there's a fun little backstory
there that I think fans of the movie will enjoy.
Have you, guys seen some of the marketing for this film?
Driving around lay the poster of a skull being held
(02:07):
up by a chain.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay that, yes, that's the only thing I've seen.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So if you're driving around on the freeways in LA
you may have noticed sometimes you're behind a semi truck
that looks like it's carrying a bunch of logs on it.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh you know, have you?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I saw one coming out of the Warner Brothers lot
right over here.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, So that is marketing for this film, and it's
based off of a very famous clip that scares a
lot of drivers, myself included to this day, where from
final destination to one of the logs falls off of
those semi trucks in the middle of traffic and just like.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wipes everybody out.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So I always think about that too when I'm driving
behind like someone with a ladder sticking out the back
of their truck. I'm like, is this it? Is this
my final destination moment? So that movie a lot of
people are very excited about. It's getting great reviews, and
quite frankly, there isn't a lot opening at the box
office this weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is one of.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Those weekends where the studios there's kind of a lull.
They're not releasing their big movies until the next couple
of weekends.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, Memorial Day obviously, next next weekend is going to
be a bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, next weekend, We've got Mission Impossible. It is coming
out very excited for that one. I'm going to go
see it next week, and also Lelo and Stitch.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Can I ask you a question? Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Okay, let's talk about this Mission Impossible, Final Reckoning. I
loved the first half of the movie when it came
out last year or whatever it was, and this year
is supposed to be the final Tom Cruise Mission Impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Deal.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
The story was that he got a five minute standing
ovation at the con Film Festally, that's not even that long.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's not I know, but con.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
But think if you were to just right now just
start applauding for five minutes, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But like I feel like it was just last year
that they were getting like eleven minute applause.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, if you're under ten, to the bathroom and come back,
and people would still be a plotting.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, well it depends on what you're doing in anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that one too, And then
The Weekend is back in.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, this one maybe a hit or miss for some people.
I don't know. If if you're a fan of the
Weekend like he is of himself apparently, then you will
enjoy this movie. It's kind of a surreal, strange, trippy,
almost horror thriller like movie. It is called Hurry Up Tomorrow,
(04:30):
and it's sort of in conjunction with and it is
meant to go along with his album of the same name.
Just a very weird, trippy movie. It's not expected to
do very well at the box office. I feel like
it has a very niche audience. People who are fans
of the weekend and that type of you know film
will enjoy that as well.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You guys gonna go see it? Are you gonna do it? No?
I like Jenny Ortega. She was fun and I like her.
I like her and everything. Yeah. Wednesday, Yeah, Wednesday, But
I have zero desires. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well, you can also go see Willie Nelson and Bob
Dylan if you want at the Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I see.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So if I don't like, if I don't like the Weekend,
I'm ninety four years old.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
There's no in between. Well, that's not true. I just
think you're going to be busy this weekend. Stop. You
can get me in more trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You might, you might be in a little bit of trouble,
but I feel like you're gonna get I think it's
gonna get handled.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's gonna take care of that, right right. I love
your optimism.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm just trying to put it out there for you.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, good vibes, good vibes. I may need a
spare room, so if I'll let you guys know over
the weekend how it all goes well. You can always
go see Final Destination.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Maybe take your mind off of me, a little bit
of death to take your Jared, It's always such a
good time with Gary and Shannon on Fridays for our

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
