Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Marla Taez is in for Shannon today. Thanks for coming
in again.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You feel free. I meant that you could steal stuff
from the office. You could take anything you want.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh that's that's why I left earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, Yeah, already got you packed your bag.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Shannon is in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, which are
going to hear here on KFI. They take on the
Chiefs down in Salpolo in an incredibly important, already week
one matchup between these division rivals. They'll tell you all
about it. Pregame starts at four o'clock with Matt and
DJ and then of course Shannon on the sidelines for
the game tonight. She's also going to join us next
(00:48):
hour when we do our guest Fantasy four play. I
wanted to remind everybody as well that tomorrow I'm going
to be out along with Conway and Dean Sharp. We're
going to be out at the American Vision Windows Simi
Valley Showroom tomorrow for their big grand reopening to celebrate
their twenty five years in business. We'll be out there
from eleven to three, off and on, or parts of
(01:11):
the party is from eleven to three. How's that parties
from eleven to three? Food fun, a bunch of stuff
that we're going to be giving away, and you can
come on out and say hi and take a look at.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Some How did they pick the trio that is you?
Dean Sharp and Conway.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Were the ones in town? Oh, Shannon's in Brazil or
that I'll be on an airplane still by the time
that party gets rolling tomorrow. And then Neil is also
an American Vision Windows guy, but he's got a different event.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah I heard that today listening to Handle on my
way end.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, it's time for swapwatch. I'm a politician, which means
I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not
kissing babies, I'm still in the lollypops.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, we got.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So what I'm got anywhere so that.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Now you train the squaw, I can imagine what can
be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
You know, Americans have always been gone a stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Why have the people voted for you were not swap watch,
they're all counternoing. Well, the biggest news this morning, very
early this morning, probably before you woke up, was the
information that came in from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
They say that job job growth weakened sharply in August.
The unemployment rate increased to four point three percent, and
(02:33):
that just kind of confirms what we knew about it.
Labor market conditions have been softening. That basically seals the case,
it seems for the Fed reserve to raise and sorry
lower interest rates, and that was one of the big
criticisms even today, President Trump on Truth Social had again
called Jerome Powell, the chair of the Fed, too late
(02:55):
Powell and said that he's too late, and that's that
he blames these lower numbers on the Fed not having
lowered interest rates to kind of spur the economy on.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And he also just more recently put out on True
Social that the numbers are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Ragged, which is interesting because the last time they came out,
he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The comment from last night that I played earlier in
the show was Trump believes that these numbers, I mean,
because they undergo so many revisions, that these numbers have
been cooked in the past. I don't know what his
(03:33):
explanation would be for the cooking of those same numbers
this month, but that he believes, based on the amount
of money that has been promised in terms of high
tech companies and other companies that are pledging to build
massive new facilities here in the United States, that the
numbers next year a year from now, would be great.
(03:56):
So just the greatest that we've ever seen potentially.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But the jobs numbers were off significantly.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
So expected seventy five thousand, what it really turned out
to be twenty two thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, huge gap.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
There was another we didn't get to this, and we'll
get to the Venezuela story in the Department of War
in just a moment. But the Justice Department is also
reportedly discussing proposals to block transgender Americans from buying weapons,
from buying firearms. On its face, it seems like that
would go down very quickly in a court of law
(04:31):
arguing that a specific person and they quality physical quality
or mental quality of that person would prohibit them from
buying guns. Now, if you can somehow prove the transgender
ideology or mentality means that they're mentally ill, if you
(04:54):
could prove that, that might stand up in a court
of law. But this is again it seems to me
that it wouldn't stand up very that it would be
challenged very quickly. We know that senior White House officials
have already said that there would be a very long
and sticky illegal battle over any policy that came out
like this. But but one of the options would be
(05:17):
a declaration that people who identify as transgender would qualify
as mentally ill and therefore be disallowed from buying weapons.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
And the people who do identify as transgender in this country,
it's a very small percentage.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
At last check, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I didn't get my transgender monthly. So I'm not sure where.
I don't think I got it yet. I haven't checked.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
About a month ago, President Trump talked about his history
of branding. He's he's good at branding.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Things.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Trump everything is Trump Tower. I mean, it's pretty easy.
If you have a short, one syllable name that brand
it's easy to trump vodka, Trump suits, Trump ties, Trump
steaks Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You could do that with HAF No, I could not.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You could do that because nobody, nobody else had to
spell it Hoffman. Yeah, come on, I'm quizzing you right now.
Spell it h O F F M A N wrong.
What there's two ends?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I okay, are you lie to you about that?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You've been spelling my name wrong this whole time. Oh
my gosh, are you changing?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No, I'm I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Because you're such a like can you trick a trickster?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You're being serious, aren't you. I want to see your
driver's license.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, the state of California got it right, amazingly. Oh
right there.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Oh my gosh, Gary Richard Hoffman with two ends?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
How did I not know this?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Nobody knows it. That's why I'm saying. That's why it's
now in this case. Yeah, there would be a lot
of knockoffs with one N or one F and one end,
and that would be bad. But the President is expected
to sign an executive order that would rename let me
(07:26):
rephrase that. It wouldn't rename the Defense Department, but it
would allow Pete hegsat the Secretary of Defense to use
secondary titles like Secretary of War, Department of War even
in the official correspondence and public correspondence, public communication.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And the reason why you're saying that it wouldn't rename
it per se is simply because it requires to do that,
it would require an Act of Congress. Right, so you
can just say instead, let's just call it this and
listen and when I can get on board and you
can put on the letterhead, and I have less of
a problem with that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And again, because he's talking about you, you're just talking
about branding. You're not talking about the specifics of You
can't turn the amount of money that it would take
to officially change the name of the Department of Defense.
Think of all of the thousands, tens of thousands of
(08:25):
signs that exist that simply say Department of Defense. All
of that, I mean, the letterhead, the station, all of
that would have to change. And that's that's so you're.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Just saying colloquially, we'll just not as the Department of War.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, yes, all right. When we come back, Elon Musk
might soon be the first trillionaire.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In the next segment, we're already to talk about the
world of entertainment, some movies that are coming out, So
look at some of the big movies coming out for
the fall. Should be a good fall selection to choose from.
And I've seen a couple of ads. I've noticed movie
ads lately, more so than I had the previous couple
of months. I don't know if it's I'm watching more
TV or whatever, but excited about some of these coming out.
(09:19):
The word came down today that a proposed pay package
for Elon Musk could make him a trillionaire.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
This is as long as he meets a serious, very
ambitious corporate goals.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Very ambitious, but still, I mean, just the the possibibility
that he could be a trillionaire is a little bit
mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, I didn't even know how many zeros twelve.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, all the compensation would be in the form of
Tesla shares. So with that, you know, in the fluctuation
of the value of a company like that, there is
a possibility that even if he starts below the value
of a trillion dollars, it could easily climb with that much.
You know, with that amount of shares in his possession.
(10:12):
So they said, right now, Musk has a net worth
of four hundred billion, you know, give or take four
hundred billion, and that the new pay would be able
to add around nine hundred billion to that fortune, which
(10:33):
would put him at one point three trillion dollars net worth.
If now again, like you said, this is these are
some wildly outlandish goals that he would have to meet
in order to get these these incentives. But one of
them would be to raise Testless stock market value to
eight and a half trillion. Right now it's at just
(10:57):
over one trillion, so an eight full increase in the
value of the company. It's a tall order, very tall.
Or think about what has happened with Tesla over the
course of just the last twelve months. Yeah, he started
saddling up to Donald Trump and people lost their ever
loving minds and they didn't like their Tesla and their
(11:19):
Tesla was a sign of the resistance and their Tesla.
I bought this Tesla before Elon went crazy or what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well that I was exactly my point.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I've seen more Tesla's now with those bumper stickers stickers
on them where people take the time to explain that
they bought it before Tesla, before he teamed up with
Trump and dooge I saw.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I haven't seen this in real life. I would love to,
because I think it's very creative. Somebody took a Tesla
and replaced the lettering back when they used to do
the you know, the actual Tesla lettering on it, and
replace those with the letters that spelled out Toyota. I
thought that was really funny. It's creative. It's that got
kind of a what's the word. Virtue signaling is just
(12:08):
so on, it's just so off putting. If you hate
the guy, sell the car.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Sell the car, don't don't light up, don't set fire
to the cars. Yeah, all the vandalism that's happened with Tesla's,
the supercharger stations that have been hit. Meantime, he just
opened up in downtown La, the Tesla Diner and the
line to get into that on the other side of
the coin. I'm not sure we didn't haven't checked in
(12:35):
on it in a bit, but when it first opened Gangbusters.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, Musk would have to remain at Tesla for at
least seven and a half years to cash in any
of the shares. Ten years. If he wants to earn
the full amount, he would also have to meet a
bunch of ambitious operational milestones. He'd have to oversee the
commercial deployment of a million autonomous taxis, a million of
the Tesla robots, and then a more than twenty four
(13:03):
fold increase in profit. So these are outlandish, I mean,
completely pie in the sky expectations, or I shouldn't say expectations,
but incentives that he would have to meet. But wait,
if anyone can do it, it could be him. Yeah, don't
forget what he started with. Don't forget now, he didn't
(13:23):
technically start Tesla, but he came in at a time
and grew this thing exponentially, on top of the PayPal,
on top of SpaceX. I mean, if anybody can do
these things, as crazy as they sound, he's probably the
guy to do it.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It would leave him owning nearly twenty nine percent of Tesla,
which is an extraordinary level of control for a chief executive.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
He's so brilliant.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
He'd be able to make sense of the hologram duality
that we talked.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
About yesterday, especially with his new is it xai. I
think that of the of the artificial intelligence company that
he's been working with in SpaceX and all the other
business ventures that he is a part of. Okay, reminder,
we're going to do Gas Fantasy for play coming up
at twelve twenty, which means that our usual appointment with
(14:14):
Heather Brooker gets moved up. We'll see, we'll hear from
Heather here in just a moment. I'm talking to entertainment.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Up next, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Garyan Shannon KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. About an hour from now, we're going to
be doing what you learned this week on the Gary
and Shannon Show. So if there was anything that you
may have learned.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You know what I learned.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I learned a couple of things I.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Did Bailey Wick, And since I can't call in, I'm
just saying that now Hoffman with two ends.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, don't forget it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I never have. But I also mentioned I showed you
that I have a series of trophies that my grandfather
got and he there was for some reason a hard
cutoff in nineteen sixty one. The trophies before that all
spell his name. With one end, and the trophies after
that spell his name with two ends.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He called the trophy companies in sixties. I was like,
get it right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Something happened. I don't know what happened. Grandpa Ben got
pretty upset, which is another end. Heather Brooker has joined us.
So we're talking about some of the stuff that's going
on in the world of entertainment. We earlier last hour,
we talked about the swing and a miss this summer
when it just comes to box office receipts in general,
that they're down, down below what we've seen since before
(15:38):
the pandemic, and probably maybe a third of what they
were at its peak back in the early two thousands.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah, I'm the last numbers I saw. You know, when
we talk about the box office numbers being down, we're
talking about maybe three point six billion versus three point
seven billion. I mean, let's be realistic about what how
much money they're actually it's still a lot. It's a
lot of money, but it's not I think the experts
(16:06):
in the industry, insiders were targeting four billion. They were
hoping to make that. I don't know what. I don't
know what benchmark that is, Like, oh, if we get
four billion, then we get another summer. Like, I don't
understand who's coming up with this benchmark and what does
it exactly mean? But I think it fell short. I
think they were hoping some of the movies that like
(16:26):
The Fantastic Four would do better. I think they were
hoping some like Jurassic World would have had more longevity,
and they just didn't.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Again, these are questions that a lot of studios are
gonna be asking themselves. Is it because we keep rehashing
the same old ip? Is it because we're putting out
movie you know, superhero fatigue? Are we putting out movies
people just aren't interested in? Or you know a lot
of people say and I get a lot of response
from this from our listeners when they call in and
or they reach out, they say, we don't want to
(16:57):
pay twenty five bucks. If you've got a family of four,
you're spending one hundred dollars just to get in and
get a seat and then in the theater, and then
your popcorn, your treats. You know, you're looking at a
couple hundred bucks. So if you're going to go out
and watch a two hour movie for a few hundred dollars.
People want it to be worthwhile. They want to make
it seem like their investment was worth something. Otherwise, you
(17:18):
it's been two hundred dollars on Dodgers tickets, on you
know something else.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
There's a lot that's been plaguing the box office for
a long time, and I think this summer was disappointing.
But there are a ton of movies coming out this
fall and over the holiday season that I think are
going to make up for some of that slump.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
The technology of movies also hasn't changed a lot. Yeah,
I mean, yes, the pictures are clear, the sound is great.
There are times like when we talked earlier this week
about Wizard of Oz, and you can do some gimmicky
things like dropping apples or blowing wind, but the technology
of it is not hasn't really changed. And I don't
not to say that they're missing an opportunity there because
(17:59):
there's not really much you can do. But there is
a comfort factor. You know, you were going to want
to watch a show in your own home, you know.
I mean there are some big ones, Top Gun, Maverick,
f one that came out earlier in the summer. Those
are ones you'd probably want to watch in a larger format,
But your TV's pretty damn big to be, you know nowadays. Yeah,
(18:19):
and watching it at home is much closer to that
theater experience than it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I was listening earlier this week.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I always listen, and when you were talking about the
Sphere and the Wizard of Oz and the changes that
it will it's taking to get that up and running
out of the Sphere, I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Want to see that you do.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
You would be all in on a sort of an
interactive Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Absolutely, I mean a the Sphere itself.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I did go last summer, so I saw it, lived
that experience, and it's just incredible. You haven't you haven't
been there yet. You got to put that on your list.
I know you see ho hum about it, but I
think you'll. I think you'll be wowed. And I think
everything that they put up there, I mean, the Backstreet
Boys come.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
On again, my Bailey work.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, you gotta do a smoky Eye though when you go. Yeah,
I think that you just that's a venue that will
draw people regardless of what they put out.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean, I think in particular with the Wizard
of Oz. It's a classic film. Everybody knows it, everybody
loves it the purest. A lot of film purists are
really the ones that are saying, hey, you shouldn't be
adding into a film that was never intended to be
added to in this way. But regardless, AI is not
(19:37):
going anywhere in the film industry. I read something today
because I was doing research for our conversation today because
I'm a big nerd like that and I like to research,
and I read that something like seventy percent of films
that are being made right now are using some form
of AI technology. Now, whether that's from the script writing
(19:58):
side of it, whether that's in front of the camera
with makeup effects, with clothing, with CGI's people in front
of the camera, cats, dogs, animals, whatever, it is a
tremendous amount of movies that are already using AI. And
I don't think the industry is going to turn from
that anytime soon. If anything, they're going to keep leaning
(20:21):
into it because it's cheaper. I mean in magic it's cheaper,
it's faster.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Post production stuff, audio editing, color correction, stuff like that
is stuff that probably are dying arts in terms of
the people that do them, but that AI can do faster.
And there was also the Orson Wells movie that they're coming.
Not only we talked about Wizard of Oz, they're accentuating
what exists in the Orson Wells movie. They're talking about
(20:49):
coming up with whole new material for the movie for
areas that didn't exist previously.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Yeah, so let's talk about this a little bit. Orson
wells second film was called The Magnificent Amberson's. His first one,
very famously was Citizen Kane. It wasn't received well at
the time. Citizen Kane wasn't the epic film that we
all know it to be today, and so Orson Wells,
in his sort of attempt to say I'll show you
(21:17):
and I'm gonna make an even better film, he made
The Magnificent Amberson's. The studio, so the lore goes again,
Heather did research.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So the story goes.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Is that the studio didn't like the original ending that
he made, so they asked him to reshoot it, and
he did it the way because they said it's kind
of a downer, so he reshot it and they didn't
like what he had done. So somehow that forty minutes
of footage or so mysteriously disappeared time out.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, we'll say where it went. Oh my god, recover it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Shannon's in Brazil. So Marla Taez from Fox eleven has
joined us and we have a more seating available because
the Brooker is here as well. We were talking entertainment
stuff Brooker with two o's right right at two ares.
Also we were talking specifically about AI. Kind of a
continuation what we talked about Wednesday when The Wizard of
Oz was accentuated with AI so they could show it
(22:19):
in the sphere, but that this Orson Wells movie was
also going to have an AI additive.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
So basically, and I'll summarize this quickly so we can
get on to some other entertainment news. But basically, they
didn't like the studio at the time, didn't like the
original ending of his movie, The Magnificent Amberson's, so they
shot their own version of the ending. Well, now a
company called Showrunner is coming in and they are using
AI technology to rebuild the forty three minutes missing ending
(22:50):
or whatever, and people are like, why would you do that?
Why do we need to do this. It wasn't how
it was intended to be. But listen, these are things
that are going to keep coming up. AI technology is
not going anywhere. It is cheaper, it is faster, and
studios are leading into it.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
They really really are.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But I wonder if you're going to have to start
or if there will be some push for legislation or
just industry standard where audiences are told this movie contains
images or I saw it on a commercial as a
matter of fact last night, huh that there was a
disclaimer that said images in this commercial are generated. Commercial
(23:28):
for it's a car commercial. I think it's land Rover
or something like that. I mean, to me, it was
obvious that they were. It was it was generated.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Well, you know, Kenna was showing me the NFL commercial
with the float. That's all AI generated, the whole float
and everything, whether like you you know, showing off the
NFL teams like you could be on this float and
the whole float was is AI generated? You can tell
that it is, but there was no disclaimer for that
as well. But if you can pay somebody, you know,
(23:58):
ten thousand bucks to create something like that cheaply fast,
in a fast way, you're not going to spend one
hundred thousand dollars on animators or CGI technology, and CGI
is different than AI, so that's a distinction as well.
I think what's going to happen here and this is
just my opinion, and you know, you know what opinions
are like. But anyway, people are going to the studio,
(24:23):
are going to lean into AI technology and it's not
going to be going anywhere. But the unions, I think,
are going to be the ones that have to step
in and start putting in safeguards for the actors, for
the makeup artists, for these specific craftsmans.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Well, the.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Strike and we saw how that happened with the strikes,
and it brought the industry to a standstill and it's
never been the same. So this is going to be
a really difficult challenge for the industry if they're going
to try to stop AI in any way.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
And Showrunner wants to be the Netflix of AI.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, all right, a couple of minutes left. The fall
is coming up and they have an opportunity. Hollywood has
an opportunity to make some of its money back. What
can we expect the next couple of weeks, look at this.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
We don't have time. Look at this. I'm such a nerd.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
I have my entire Fall movie bible here with all
my notes and everything post it.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
So we're just going to hit.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Some of the highlights here. You know, I want to
mention a couple of movies for you, guys. I want
you to tell me what you're the most excited to
see coming up this fall. This is not even Christmas movies.
This is just from now till November. Okay, all right,
him tron aries all of you. Good Fortune, Frankenstein, Predator,
(25:37):
bad Lands, The running Man, and Wicked for good.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, I think running Man probably the top. Frankenstein is
number two.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I'm going h that's Jordan Peele, right, yes, yeah, him.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, so yes, it's Jordan Peele's go ahead. No.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
I was hoping you were gonna have the Smashing Machine
down there.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, it's in there, but I'm like, we don't have done.
It's in my little bible here.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Action Machine is the rock Emily, Yes, and the one
that is, at least this week said to have gotten
some Emmy or sorry.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Oscar buzz Oscar bu Dwayne, come on, let's right, let's
not crazy. Let's uh listen. I don't know if I'm
gonna go that far, but I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna
I'm gonna wait to reserve judgment until I actually see it.
But you're right on him. Him is going to be
another Jordan Peele offering. We know he's had huge success
(26:32):
for his last few movies. This one is going to
be no exception. It's a sports horror film, little horror,
a little football rarely sign up perfect brilliant tron aries.
I'm a I'm a big eighties gal fan of the
original movie.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I liked the sequels.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I just watched, just watched the other one the other day,
the most recent one the other day, And I'm very
excited for this because again I love the sort of dystopian,
alternate universe world movies. I think tront Aris is going
to do really well. Good fortune, guys, Keanu Reeves like.
It's a sweet little movie from Keanu Reeves. He's playing
an angel, and it's got a s's Inzari in it,
(27:10):
so you know it's gonna be funny. And it also
has Seth Rogan in it, so if you're like Seth Rogan,
that's gonna be a good one. I don't. Studio is fantasy. Yeah,
you know what Seth Rogan does, what he gets high.
I don't know if you know that all the time,
that's like his whole That's like it's like Michael Monk's
doing drugs. He makes his whole personality that nice.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
But you're right, we have.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
To talk about Frankenstein. This movie is Giamo del Toro's
take on Frankenstein. If you saw his take on Pinocchio,
it was incredible. This is also going to be visually stunning,
beautiful storytelling. I think people are going to be really
the trailer itself is trailer itself is wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Are you a Predator fan? No?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I never really got. I mean, yeah, I've seen him, but.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I know my husband is super excited for Predators bad Lands.
Every time we see a preview come on, He's.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Like, yes, he's really excited. And also, hasn't there already
been a remake of The Running Man? Did I imagine that?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I thought there was.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I dream that Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Do we need it?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Maybe Ryan Gosling one of the Ryans. I think it
was Godey.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Hopefully it was the good one, all right, and wicked
for good, guys, Wicked for.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Good coming out around Thanksgiving. I am excited. No one
owns the Wicked.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
That was well done. She's great.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I lost.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Gary literally was like, oh my god, I have no words.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Thank you, Heather. As always, guys, all right, what you
learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Shows coming up,
so let us know what you learned. We'll do our
trending stories when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show, you

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Marla Taez is in for Shannon today. Thanks for coming
in again.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You feel free. I meant that you could steal stuff
from the office. You could take anything you want.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh that's that's why I left earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, Yeah, already got you packed your bag.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Shannon is in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, which are
going to hear here on KFI. They take on the
Chiefs down in Salpolo in an incredibly important, already week
one matchup between these division rivals. They'll tell you all
about it. Pregame starts at four o'clock with Matt and
DJ and then of course Shannon on the sidelines for
the game tonight. She's also going to join us next
(00:48):
hour when we do our guest Fantasy four play. I
wanted to remind everybody as well that tomorrow I'm going
to be out along with Conway and Dean Sharp. We're
going to be out at the American Vision Windows Simi
Valley Showroom tomorrow for their big grand reopening to celebrate
their twenty five years in business. We'll be out there
from eleven to three, off and on, or parts of
(01:11):
the party is from eleven to three. How's that parties
from eleven to three? Food fun, a bunch of stuff
that we're going to be giving away, and you can
come on out and say hi and take a look at.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Some How did they pick the trio that is you?
Dean Sharp and Conway.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Were the ones in town? Oh, Shannon's in Brazil or
that I'll be on an airplane still by the time
that party gets rolling tomorrow. And then Neil is also
an American Vision Windows guy, but he's got a different event.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah I heard that today listening to Handle on my
way end.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, it's time for swapwatch. I'm a politician, which means
I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not
kissing babies, I'm still in the lollypops.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, we got.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So what I'm got anywhere so that.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Now you train the squaw, I can imagine what can
be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
You know, Americans have always been gone a stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Why have the people voted for you were not swap watch,
they're all counternoing. Well, the biggest news this morning, very
early this morning, probably before you woke up, was the
information that came in from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
They say that job job growth weakened sharply in August.
The unemployment rate increased to four point three percent, and
(02:33):
that just kind of confirms what we knew about it.
Labor market conditions have been softening. That basically seals the case,
it seems for the Fed reserve to raise and sorry
lower interest rates, and that was one of the big
criticisms even today, President Trump on Truth Social had again
called Jerome Powell, the chair of the Fed, too late
(02:55):
Powell and said that he's too late, and that's that
he blames these lower numbers on the Fed not having
lowered interest rates to kind of spur the economy on.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And he also just more recently put out on True
Social that the numbers are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Ragged, which is interesting because the last time they came out,
he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The comment from last night that I played earlier in
the show was Trump believes that these numbers, I mean,
because they undergo so many revisions, that these numbers have
been cooked in the past. I don't know what his
(03:33):
explanation would be for the cooking of those same numbers
this month, but that he believes, based on the amount
of money that has been promised in terms of high
tech companies and other companies that are pledging to build
massive new facilities here in the United States, that the
numbers next year a year from now, would be great.
(03:56):
So just the greatest that we've ever seen potentially.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But the jobs numbers were off significantly.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
So expected seventy five thousand, what it really turned out
to be twenty two thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, huge gap.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
There was another we didn't get to this, and we'll
get to the Venezuela story in the Department of War
in just a moment. But the Justice Department is also
reportedly discussing proposals to block transgender Americans from buying weapons,
from buying firearms. On its face, it seems like that
would go down very quickly in a court of law
(04:31):
arguing that a specific person and they quality physical quality
or mental quality of that person would prohibit them from
buying guns. Now, if you can somehow prove the transgender
ideology or mentality means that they're mentally ill, if you
(04:54):
could prove that, that might stand up in a court
of law. But this is again it seems to me
that it wouldn't stand up very that it would be
challenged very quickly. We know that senior White House officials
have already said that there would be a very long
and sticky illegal battle over any policy that came out
like this. But but one of the options would be
(05:17):
a declaration that people who identify as transgender would qualify
as mentally ill and therefore be disallowed from buying weapons.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
And the people who do identify as transgender in this country,
it's a very small percentage.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
At last check, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I didn't get my transgender monthly. So I'm not sure where.
I don't think I got it yet. I haven't checked.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
About a month ago, President Trump talked about his history
of branding. He's he's good at branding.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Things.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Trump everything is Trump Tower. I mean, it's pretty easy.
If you have a short, one syllable name that brand
it's easy to trump vodka, Trump suits, Trump ties, Trump
steaks Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You could do that with HAF No, I could not.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You could do that because nobody, nobody else had to
spell it Hoffman. Yeah, come on, I'm quizzing you right now.
Spell it h O F F M A N wrong.
What there's two ends?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I okay, are you lie to you about that?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You've been spelling my name wrong this whole time. Oh
my gosh, are you changing?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No, I'm I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Because you're such a like can you trick a trickster?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You're being serious, aren't you. I want to see your
driver's license.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, the state of California got it right, amazingly. Oh
right there.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Oh my gosh, Gary Richard Hoffman with two ends?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
How did I not know this?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Nobody knows it. That's why I'm saying. That's why it's
now in this case. Yeah, there would be a lot
of knockoffs with one N or one F and one end,
and that would be bad. But the President is expected
to sign an executive order that would rename let me
(07:26):
rephrase that. It wouldn't rename the Defense Department, but it
would allow Pete hegsat the Secretary of Defense to use
secondary titles like Secretary of War, Department of War even
in the official correspondence and public correspondence, public communication.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And the reason why you're saying that it wouldn't rename
it per se is simply because it requires to do that,
it would require an Act of Congress. Right, so you
can just say instead, let's just call it this and
listen and when I can get on board and you
can put on the letterhead, and I have less of
a problem with that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And again, because he's talking about you, you're just talking
about branding. You're not talking about the specifics of You
can't turn the amount of money that it would take
to officially change the name of the Department of Defense.
Think of all of the thousands, tens of thousands of
(08:25):
signs that exist that simply say Department of Defense. All
of that, I mean, the letterhead, the station, all of
that would have to change. And that's that's so you're.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Just saying colloquially, we'll just not as the Department of War.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, yes, all right. When we come back, Elon Musk
might soon be the first trillionaire.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In the next segment, we're already to talk about the
world of entertainment, some movies that are coming out, So
look at some of the big movies coming out for
the fall. Should be a good fall selection to choose from.
And I've seen a couple of ads. I've noticed movie
ads lately, more so than I had the previous couple
of months. I don't know if it's I'm watching more
TV or whatever, but excited about some of these coming out.
(09:19):
The word came down today that a proposed pay package
for Elon Musk could make him a trillionaire.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
This is as long as he meets a serious, very
ambitious corporate goals.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Very ambitious, but still, I mean, just the the possibibility
that he could be a trillionaire is a little bit
mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, I didn't even know how many zeros twelve.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, all the compensation would be in the form of
Tesla shares. So with that, you know, in the fluctuation
of the value of a company like that, there is
a possibility that even if he starts below the value
of a trillion dollars, it could easily climb with that much.
You know, with that amount of shares in his possession.
(10:12):
So they said, right now, Musk has a net worth
of four hundred billion, you know, give or take four
hundred billion, and that the new pay would be able
to add around nine hundred billion to that fortune, which
(10:33):
would put him at one point three trillion dollars net worth.
If now again, like you said, this is these are
some wildly outlandish goals that he would have to meet
in order to get these these incentives. But one of
them would be to raise Testless stock market value to
eight and a half trillion. Right now it's at just
(10:57):
over one trillion, so an eight full increase in the
value of the company. It's a tall order, very tall.
Or think about what has happened with Tesla over the
course of just the last twelve months. Yeah, he started
saddling up to Donald Trump and people lost their ever
loving minds and they didn't like their Tesla and their
(11:19):
Tesla was a sign of the resistance and their Tesla.
I bought this Tesla before Elon went crazy or what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well that I was exactly my point.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I've seen more Tesla's now with those bumper stickers stickers
on them where people take the time to explain that
they bought it before Tesla, before he teamed up with
Trump and dooge I saw.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I haven't seen this in real life. I would love to,
because I think it's very creative. Somebody took a Tesla
and replaced the lettering back when they used to do
the you know, the actual Tesla lettering on it, and
replace those with the letters that spelled out Toyota. I
thought that was really funny. It's creative. It's that got
kind of a what's the word. Virtue signaling is just
(12:08):
so on, it's just so off putting. If you hate
the guy, sell the car.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Sell the car, don't don't light up, don't set fire
to the cars. Yeah, all the vandalism that's happened with Tesla's,
the supercharger stations that have been hit. Meantime, he just
opened up in downtown La, the Tesla Diner and the
line to get into that on the other side of
the coin. I'm not sure we didn't haven't checked in
(12:35):
on it in a bit, but when it first opened Gangbusters.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, Musk would have to remain at Tesla for at
least seven and a half years to cash in any
of the shares. Ten years. If he wants to earn
the full amount, he would also have to meet a
bunch of ambitious operational milestones. He'd have to oversee the
commercial deployment of a million autonomous taxis, a million of
the Tesla robots, and then a more than twenty four
(13:03):
fold increase in profit. So these are outlandish, I mean,
completely pie in the sky expectations, or I shouldn't say expectations,
but incentives that he would have to meet. But wait,
if anyone can do it, it could be him. Yeah, don't
forget what he started with. Don't forget now, he didn't
(13:23):
technically start Tesla, but he came in at a time
and grew this thing exponentially, on top of the PayPal,
on top of SpaceX. I mean, if anybody can do
these things, as crazy as they sound, he's probably the
guy to do it.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It would leave him owning nearly twenty nine percent of Tesla,
which is an extraordinary level of control for a chief executive.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
He's so brilliant.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
He'd be able to make sense of the hologram duality
that we talked.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
About yesterday, especially with his new is it xai. I
think that of the of the artificial intelligence company that
he's been working with in SpaceX and all the other
business ventures that he is a part of. Okay, reminder,
we're going to do Gas Fantasy for play coming up
at twelve twenty, which means that our usual appointment with
(14:14):
Heather Brooker gets moved up. We'll see, we'll hear from
Heather here in just a moment. I'm talking to entertainment.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Up next, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Garyan Shannon KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. About an hour from now, we're going to
be doing what you learned this week on the Gary
and Shannon Show. So if there was anything that you
may have learned.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You know what I learned.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I learned a couple of things I.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Did Bailey Wick, And since I can't call in, I'm
just saying that now Hoffman with two ends.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, don't forget it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I never have. But I also mentioned I showed you
that I have a series of trophies that my grandfather
got and he there was for some reason a hard
cutoff in nineteen sixty one. The trophies before that all
spell his name. With one end, and the trophies after
that spell his name with two ends.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He called the trophy companies in sixties. I was like,
get it right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Something happened. I don't know what happened. Grandpa Ben got
pretty upset, which is another end. Heather Brooker has joined us.
So we're talking about some of the stuff that's going
on in the world of entertainment. We earlier last hour,
we talked about the swing and a miss this summer
when it just comes to box office receipts in general,
that they're down, down below what we've seen since before
(15:38):
the pandemic, and probably maybe a third of what they
were at its peak back in the early two thousands.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah, I'm the last numbers I saw. You know, when
we talk about the box office numbers being down, we're
talking about maybe three point six billion versus three point
seven billion. I mean, let's be realistic about what how
much money they're actually it's still a lot. It's a
lot of money, but it's not I think the experts
(16:06):
in the industry, insiders were targeting four billion. They were
hoping to make that. I don't know what. I don't
know what benchmark that is, Like, oh, if we get
four billion, then we get another summer. Like, I don't
understand who's coming up with this benchmark and what does
it exactly mean? But I think it fell short. I
think they were hoping some of the movies that like
(16:26):
The Fantastic Four would do better. I think they were
hoping some like Jurassic World would have had more longevity,
and they just didn't.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Again, these are questions that a lot of studios are
gonna be asking themselves. Is it because we keep rehashing
the same old ip? Is it because we're putting out
movie you know, superhero fatigue? Are we putting out movies
people just aren't interested in? Or you know a lot
of people say and I get a lot of response
from this from our listeners when they call in and
or they reach out, they say, we don't want to
(16:57):
pay twenty five bucks. If you've got a family of four,
you're spending one hundred dollars just to get in and
get a seat and then in the theater, and then
your popcorn, your treats. You know, you're looking at a
couple hundred bucks. So if you're going to go out
and watch a two hour movie for a few hundred dollars.
People want it to be worthwhile. They want to make
it seem like their investment was worth something. Otherwise, you
(17:18):
it's been two hundred dollars on Dodgers tickets, on you
know something else.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
There's a lot that's been plaguing the box office for
a long time, and I think this summer was disappointing.
But there are a ton of movies coming out this
fall and over the holiday season that I think are
going to make up for some of that slump.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
The technology of movies also hasn't changed a lot. Yeah,
I mean, yes, the pictures are clear, the sound is great.
There are times like when we talked earlier this week
about Wizard of Oz, and you can do some gimmicky
things like dropping apples or blowing wind, but the technology
of it is not hasn't really changed. And I don't
not to say that they're missing an opportunity there because
(17:59):
there's not really much you can do. But there is
a comfort factor. You know, you were going to want
to watch a show in your own home, you know.
I mean there are some big ones, Top Gun, Maverick,
f one that came out earlier in the summer. Those
are ones you'd probably want to watch in a larger format,
But your TV's pretty damn big to be, you know nowadays. Yeah,
(18:19):
and watching it at home is much closer to that
theater experience than it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I was listening earlier this week.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I always listen, and when you were talking about the
Sphere and the Wizard of Oz and the changes that
it will it's taking to get that up and running
out of the Sphere, I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Want to see that you do.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
You would be all in on a sort of an
interactive Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Absolutely, I mean a the Sphere itself.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I did go last summer, so I saw it, lived
that experience, and it's just incredible. You haven't you haven't
been there yet. You got to put that on your list.
I know you see ho hum about it, but I
think you'll. I think you'll be wowed. And I think
everything that they put up there, I mean, the Backstreet
Boys come.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
On again, my Bailey work.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, you gotta do a smoky Eye though when you go. Yeah,
I think that you just that's a venue that will
draw people regardless of what they put out.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean, I think in particular with the Wizard
of Oz. It's a classic film. Everybody knows it, everybody
loves it the purest. A lot of film purists are
really the ones that are saying, hey, you shouldn't be
adding into a film that was never intended to be
added to in this way. But regardless, AI is not
(19:37):
going anywhere in the film industry. I read something today
because I was doing research for our conversation today because
I'm a big nerd like that and I like to research,
and I read that something like seventy percent of films
that are being made right now are using some form
of AI technology. Now, whether that's from the script writing
(19:58):
side of it, whether that's in front of the camera
with makeup effects, with clothing, with CGI's people in front
of the camera, cats, dogs, animals, whatever, it is a
tremendous amount of movies that are already using AI. And
I don't think the industry is going to turn from
that anytime soon. If anything, they're going to keep leaning
(20:21):
into it because it's cheaper. I mean in magic it's cheaper,
it's faster.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Post production stuff, audio editing, color correction, stuff like that
is stuff that probably are dying arts in terms of
the people that do them, but that AI can do faster.
And there was also the Orson Wells movie that they're coming.
Not only we talked about Wizard of Oz, they're accentuating
what exists in the Orson Wells movie. They're talking about
(20:49):
coming up with whole new material for the movie for
areas that didn't exist previously.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Yeah, so let's talk about this a little bit. Orson
wells second film was called The Magnificent Amberson's. His first one,
very famously was Citizen Kane. It wasn't received well at
the time. Citizen Kane wasn't the epic film that we
all know it to be today, and so Orson Wells,
in his sort of attempt to say I'll show you
(21:17):
and I'm gonna make an even better film, he made
The Magnificent Amberson's. The studio, so the lore goes again,
Heather did research.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So the story goes.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Is that the studio didn't like the original ending that
he made, so they asked him to reshoot it, and
he did it the way because they said it's kind
of a downer, so he reshot it and they didn't
like what he had done. So somehow that forty minutes
of footage or so mysteriously disappeared time out.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, we'll say where it went. Oh my god, recover it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Shannon's in Brazil. So Marla Taez from Fox eleven has
joined us and we have a more seating available because
the Brooker is here as well. We were talking entertainment
stuff Brooker with two o's right right at two ares.
Also we were talking specifically about AI. Kind of a
continuation what we talked about Wednesday when The Wizard of
Oz was accentuated with AI so they could show it
(22:19):
in the sphere, but that this Orson Wells movie was
also going to have an AI additive.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
So basically, and I'll summarize this quickly so we can
get on to some other entertainment news. But basically, they
didn't like the studio at the time, didn't like the
original ending of his movie, The Magnificent Amberson's, so they
shot their own version of the ending. Well, now a
company called Showrunner is coming in and they are using
AI technology to rebuild the forty three minutes missing ending
(22:50):
or whatever, and people are like, why would you do that?
Why do we need to do this. It wasn't how
it was intended to be. But listen, these are things
that are going to keep coming up. AI technology is
not going anywhere. It is cheaper, it is faster, and
studios are leading into it.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
They really really are.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But I wonder if you're going to have to start
or if there will be some push for legislation or
just industry standard where audiences are told this movie contains
images or I saw it on a commercial as a
matter of fact last night, huh that there was a
disclaimer that said images in this commercial are generated. Commercial
(23:28):
for it's a car commercial. I think it's land Rover
or something like that. I mean, to me, it was
obvious that they were. It was it was generated.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Well, you know, Kenna was showing me the NFL commercial
with the float. That's all AI generated, the whole float
and everything, whether like you you know, showing off the
NFL teams like you could be on this float and
the whole float was is AI generated? You can tell
that it is, but there was no disclaimer for that
as well. But if you can pay somebody, you know,
(23:58):
ten thousand bucks to create something like that cheaply fast,
in a fast way, you're not going to spend one
hundred thousand dollars on animators or CGI technology, and CGI
is different than AI, so that's a distinction as well.
I think what's going to happen here and this is
just my opinion, and you know, you know what opinions
are like. But anyway, people are going to the studio,
(24:23):
are going to lean into AI technology and it's not
going to be going anywhere. But the unions, I think,
are going to be the ones that have to step
in and start putting in safeguards for the actors, for
the makeup artists, for these specific craftsmans.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Well, the.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Strike and we saw how that happened with the strikes,
and it brought the industry to a standstill and it's
never been the same. So this is going to be
a really difficult challenge for the industry if they're going
to try to stop AI in any way.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
And Showrunner wants to be the Netflix of AI.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, all right, a couple of minutes left. The fall
is coming up and they have an opportunity. Hollywood has
an opportunity to make some of its money back. What
can we expect the next couple of weeks, look at this.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
We don't have time. Look at this. I'm such a nerd.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
I have my entire Fall movie bible here with all
my notes and everything post it.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
So we're just going to hit.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Some of the highlights here. You know, I want to
mention a couple of movies for you, guys. I want
you to tell me what you're the most excited to
see coming up this fall. This is not even Christmas movies.
This is just from now till November. Okay, all right,
him tron aries all of you. Good Fortune, Frankenstein, Predator,
(25:37):
bad Lands, The running Man, and Wicked for good.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, I think running Man probably the top. Frankenstein is
number two.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I'm going h that's Jordan Peele, right, yes, yeah, him.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, so yes, it's Jordan Peele's go ahead. No.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
I was hoping you were gonna have the Smashing Machine
down there.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, it's in there, but I'm like, we don't have done.
It's in my little bible here.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Action Machine is the rock Emily, Yes, and the one
that is, at least this week said to have gotten
some Emmy or sorry.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Oscar buzz Oscar bu Dwayne, come on, let's right, let's
not crazy. Let's uh listen. I don't know if I'm
gonna go that far, but I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna
I'm gonna wait to reserve judgment until I actually see it.
But you're right on him. Him is going to be
another Jordan Peele offering. We know he's had huge success
(26:32):
for his last few movies. This one is going to
be no exception. It's a sports horror film, little horror,
a little football rarely sign up perfect brilliant tron aries.
I'm a I'm a big eighties gal fan of the
original movie.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I liked the sequels.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I just watched, just watched the other one the other day,
the most recent one the other day, And I'm very
excited for this because again I love the sort of dystopian,
alternate universe world movies. I think tront Aris is going
to do really well. Good fortune, guys, Keanu Reeves like.
It's a sweet little movie from Keanu Reeves. He's playing
an angel, and it's got a s's Inzari in it,
(27:10):
so you know it's gonna be funny. And it also
has Seth Rogan in it, so if you're like Seth Rogan,
that's gonna be a good one. I don't. Studio is fantasy. Yeah,
you know what Seth Rogan does, what he gets high.
I don't know if you know that all the time,
that's like his whole That's like it's like Michael Monk's
doing drugs. He makes his whole personality that nice.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
But you're right, we have.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
To talk about Frankenstein. This movie is Giamo del Toro's
take on Frankenstein. If you saw his take on Pinocchio,
it was incredible. This is also going to be visually stunning,
beautiful storytelling. I think people are going to be really
the trailer itself is trailer itself is wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Are you a Predator fan? No?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I never really got. I mean, yeah, I've seen him, but.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I know my husband is super excited for Predators bad Lands.
Every time we see a preview come on, He's.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Like, yes, he's really excited. And also, hasn't there already
been a remake of The Running Man? Did I imagine that?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I thought there was.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I dream that Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Do we need it?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Maybe Ryan Gosling one of the Ryans. I think it
was Godey.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Hopefully it was the good one, all right, and wicked
for good, guys, Wicked for.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Good coming out around Thanksgiving. I am excited. No one
owns the Wicked.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
That was well done. She's great.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
