them for you so you don't have to waste your
hard earned money every weekend, and this weekend is no different. Jason,
what's going on in theaters this weekend?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, we've actually got quite a bit. Kicking it off
with Eddington has got It's a great cast. It's Walking Phoenix,
Pedro Pescal, Emma Stone, and this is about where Walking
Phoenix is a small town sheriff. He's going to run
from mayor against the current mayor, Pedro Bescal. It takes
place during twenty twenty, so it's COVID times and of

(00:32):

This is getting good reviews. But this director, Ari Astor,
I just can't stand him. And I know he has
a lot of fans, and so I know there are
people that are going to see this movie. This is Oreditary, Midsomar.
I just can't stand those movies. So this is not
anything I'm going to see. But it's two and a
half hours and it's getting pretty good reviews.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh so maybe check it out. And Rihanna apparently is
going to be Smurfat in the new smurf movie.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Wow, how did you know that? That's everywhere?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's all they talked.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
About every piece of marketing. They must have had her
contract that no matter what you do, the posters, the trailers,
the commercials, everything must say Rihanna is smurf fed. So

what this is about. It's an animated and you know,
smurfs get kidnapped and whatever. Listen, I've seen this movie.

star a smurf. Bet I don't know.

been waiting to see and a lot of the cast
is coming back that didn't die and I know what
you did last summer, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56):

really the same premise. These friends cause a deadly car
accident and then they cover it up and then uh, oh,
I know what you did last summer. But they find
out this has happened before. Enter Jennifer Love, Hewittt and
Freddie Prinz Junior. They come back and are in this
