Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to entertain Me. It's Heather Brooker. Thanks for
joining me on this beautiful August and very hot August
SoCal weekend. If you're looking for a way to cool off,
you might want to head to the movies. There are
some fun things still at the movies this weekend. Weapons
is doing really well, continues to hold on to the
(00:23):
top spot and probably will continue to stay in that
top spot throughout the weekend as well. Even though there
are a few new offerings that are going to be
coming out this weekend, and I'm breaking it all down
on Gary and Shannon. We are going to be talking
about the special K Pop Demon Hunters fan screening that's
going to be happening in the theaters this weekend. Also
(00:43):
the new movie Honey Don't which, if you're familiar at
all with Ethan Cohen and the Cohen Brothers, actually this
is just an Ethan Cohen film and he worked on
or worked on it with his wife Tricia. Rather, if
you're not familiar with this style of film, this one
might surprise you a little bit. And I'm going to
(01:04):
tell you what I mean here on Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, Heather Brooker joins us talk about what's going on
in the world of the entertainments over the course of
the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
This is entertainment news. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So I love a smutty desert mystery, and that is
what Honey Don't is being billed as.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yes, ma'am. So if you liked The Hunting Wives, yes,
hold onto your butts, because for I didn't like one
character and one character same. This is an epic sex
adventure in set in Bakersfield.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Oh okay.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So when they say desert, I was thinking, like, bomb desert,
same but not the same Bakersfield not same?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, no, no, I mean same as an. I thought
that too. I was like, oh, a desert be like
you know something, No, it's Bakersfield.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, so we've got Margaret Qually. This isn't Ethan Cohen film.
Margaret Qually is in this.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
She was the young Demi Moor in Substance. Yes, no, yes,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I had to think about that for a second. Yes,
Mark Quality is in it. Aubrey Plaza is in it,
Chris Evans is in it. A lot of great names
be cast. This is I don't know what I was
expecting when I saw this movie, but this wasn't it.
It's very much trying to be like a a B movie.
Do you guys remember those classics like on purpose movies?
(02:45):
Like on purpose? Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Whenever the Coen Brothers do something, I am I'm sorry,
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's you're not going to get this either. This very
much true like that. It's very sexual, and it was
surprising how sexual this was. Like I was squirming in
the theater. It's very sexual. It's very violent, and I
was like, oh my god, what am I? What have
I done? That being said, I think there is a
specific group of people who may enjoy this movie. Aubrey
(03:11):
Plaza is fun to watch in a different kind of
character for her, Chris Evans, wild sex scenes with Chris Evans. Yeah,
it's like The Hunting Wives, but in Bakersfield and a
little bit of noir. It tries to be a little
noir too. It's just an unusual film. If you like it.
If you like those kind of weird indie movies, you'll
(03:33):
enjoy Hunting Don't.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The rating includes the warning that it's not just nudity,
it's graphic nudi.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It is graphic.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Sarah penis.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
There's a lot, a lot, a lot of boobies, a
lot of penis, really all of it. Wow, the above,
a lot of strap on I mean, whoa, yes, okay, yes,
ma'am now in that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Vein because we saw that in Hunting Wives and now
we're seeing it in this. Is this something that's indicative
of the culture or is this just something to shock
us because we've been shocked to no.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Longer being shocked.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It felt like to me like this was something that
they really trying to speak to a certain type of
movie goer.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'm talking about the strapping and.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The strapping ons and that whole thing. I feel like
maybe there is a little bit of leaning into that
side of entertainment right now. Ye, just for the shock factory,
all to rebel against the norm. Okay, this movie, though,
it was an interesting story, but it just it never
went anywhere, like you're like, what are we doing? It
(04:35):
was just a series of like graphic sex and they're
also trying to solve a crime and a murder in there.
And then there's like a cult like church that Chris
Evans is the head of, but he's doing like naughty
stuff with his parishioners. With like who are wearing like
s and m geartt it's you guys. But I watched
it for the Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Show, and here you don't drag us into your mud.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I was like, I am gonna do this. This is
a family program, all right, Hello to the family who
are listening.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Okay, So I enjoyed what.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
My twelve year old loved it. Let me just say, no,
I'm kidding.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I was like, no, don't touch it with their face.
Don't judge with your face. That was going on in
my head. I would never Okay, So I liked K.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Pop Demon Hunters based on your daughter's recommendation.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I loved all the music it was.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
It was a fun watch, and I did miss out
on some of Keanna had said that they cut out
a lot to make it more kids centric, sure, and
that there was, you know, plots that were not developed
that could have been developing. A lot left on the
cutting room floor.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah. But now everybody's going to get a chance to
see it on the big screen because AMC is doing
a special release this weekend only of K Pop Demon Hunters.
And it's not just the showing of the movie. It's
a sing along okay, get your vocal course. Have you
been along in the theater? I have not.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I have not either.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I you know what I feel like the people go
to the sing alongs are going are knowing what they're
getting into. Huh. It's when you go to the regular
movie and people start singing like what was happening with
Wicked that you're like, knock it off.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you're there knowing that that's what you're doing, maybe
it's great.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah. No, for Wicked, that was happening a lot and
people were like, this is not your movie. You're not
starring in the show. Knock it off. But if you
know going into it you're buying a ticket to sing,
then you know what you're getting into.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Now when they're singing along and we don't know because
we've never been, But I'm wondering if it's like the
karaoke where people think that they really are really exceptional
singers and they are.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Going to be heard.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
If you are in a room with two hundred of
your closest friends, it kind of evens out. It is
probably better. Like the larger the choir there, the more
bad singers you can have.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
It kind of drowns everybody out a little bit at all.
Just sounds like one massive like yelling and everyone's trying
to outdo each other because maybe they're going to get
discovered at the Burbank AMC. I don't know it could happen.
I forgot sharing that from personal experience.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Totally forgot the la Angle test sing along.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's one of the reasons why I don't like going
to karaoke in la Is because my first moved here.
My friends would invite me and I'm like yay, And
then you go and people are like, all of a sudden, serious,
serious about it, and they're dropping like Broadway style songs
and I'm over here like I've been a bad, bad girl,
like with my Fiona Apple, and they're like, ma'am, they're
(07:26):
bringing out the hook, like ma'am.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I've been asked to leave karaoke bars because I screw around.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I'm there to have fun.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
What's your go to karaoke song? What do you but
what's your every time? Say it?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
No, it's not that it's a bust to move by.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That's also a good one.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
The last time I sang karaoke I almost led to
a divorce. I'm not sure my go to is the
Gambler Kenny Rogers.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Because I can kind of talk through it. I was
not blessed with a voice.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Like you can talk, you talk. That's great.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Others that are coming out of the.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, some other movies. Definitely add Lurker to your list.
This is an indie film and it it is sort
of like single white female meets male influencers in LA.
It is creepy, it is visually really interesting and unique
a thriller. I love a movie that's shot in LA
as well, So definitely add that one to your list
(08:23):
and replay. Oh yeah, replay.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Riz Ahmed was so fantastic in the Drummer movie. Yes
he loses his hearing. Yes, I can't think of it
so great in that movie. But I'm glad he's to
see It's good to see him again.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yes, this movie is getting a lot of really great reviews.
It's u It's also going to be one to add
to your list if you're only going to go see
one or two movies too. Maybe Beat the Heat Relay
is a good one as well. Suspense thriller, unique take
on it, which is hard to do these days. So yeah, excellent,
Thank you, Thanks guys, thank you I've been.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon
Show and our nine news nuggets.
Speaker 3 (09:04):

to watch that so badly.
Speaker 1 (09:09):

box office, So if you are feeling like you're a
little superhero movied out, or you don't want to go
see the latest blockbuster, you can definitely go and support
some smaller films, some indie projects as well. So how fun?
