Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh yeah, let's say good morning to ABC's multi platform
reporter Will Gans. Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Will Hey, good morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Happy Friday. So this weekend you can go on an
intergalactic journey. Is it worth taking the trip?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I think it is worth taking. I mean, especially if
you have the kids with you. It's Pixar, and Pixar
does what it does so well. You know, last year
we had Inside Out Too, which of course was a
billion dollar block block buster box office blockbuster. Yeah, and
this year, Eli Oh is the Pixar offering of the year,
(00:36):
and it's about a kid who you know, is struggling
at home. He is being taken care of by his aunt,
and he doesn't have a ton of friends. So he
is a big sort of space nerd and he's hoping
that aliens will abduct him because he thinks he'll have
better luck finding friends and making friends in outer space.
And sure enough, that's just what happens. And it's really sweet,
(00:59):
you know, it's colorful, it's funny, and in classic picks
Our fashion, it tugs at the heart strings. So yeah,
I mean, I had a great time watching this in
theaters and you know, you know me, I got a
little weepy too at certain parts, but it's so sweet.
It is sweet. So I think if you do have
the family and everyone's looking for something to do, maybe
(01:21):
to beat the heat. There's a huge heat wave this weekend.
El ee oh, is a great option to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't know where you are, will, but there's no
heat wave here. It's just going to be sunny and gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean, isn't that sort of par for the course
for you guys. I'm jealous. I'm jealous. We're expecting like
triple digit heat here in New York over the coming week.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah eh, and you guys have you have humidity.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Too, exactly exactly all right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So if you're wanting to get a break from the heat,
Ello maybe the place to be. And if you're just
being a couch potato like I am so often and
want to keep yourself planted right here on earth, where
what are we looking at? The stream?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
There's a new series on Netflix called The Waterfront, and
it's sort of like if you combined the Outer Banks
with Ozarks or maybe with like Yellowstone or something like that.
So it's a very wealthy family in North Carolina and
they own a fishing enterprise, a fishing business, and they
sort of are having to do increasingly shady things to
stay float, no pun intended. And it's like, is this
(02:26):
show gonna win Emmy Awards? No? Is it going to
break any you know, barriers in terms of its writing
or it's acting. Probably not. But it's dramatic, like you know,
in episode one, they are threatening this guy by chumming
the waters around the boat and dunking his head into
the ocean and there are sharks swimming around. So it's
like it's dramatic, and it is, you know, a family
(02:47):
drama that you know, it's sort of it's fun to watch.
It's easy to understand. You're not going to have to
do any major critical thinking here. So if that's sort
of what you're looking for, you know, it's a good summa.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, and will is it another rich people bad series?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, Okay, that's what they all are these days. Okay.
I am very excited about this one. I am a
big Barbara Walters fand I mean because she was such
a pioneer in the broadcasting business. Yes, tell us about
the documentary that's coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So Barbara Walters tell me everything is. It comes out
on Monday, and I know typically we cover what's available
this weekend, but it starts streaming Monday on Hulu. I
have seen it and it's fascinating. It's like about her
rise to you know, who she became, and all of
the glass ceilings that she shattered, and you know how
she wasn't allowed to ask any questions in her first
(03:42):
on air job until the mail anchor had asked three
and you know, things like that, and you know, similar
to the Martha Stewart documentary that came out a while ago,
it's not just like, oh, she was amazing and she
was perfect and she you know, broke all these barriers.
You come away feeling like, Okay, she was a complicated figure,
and you know, her family life was complicated. And I
(04:03):
went to the red carpet of their premiere at Tribeca
and I was asking people who worked with her all
about her, and you really get the sense that, like,
while she did certainly reach down and grab people's hands
and pull them up and you know, take their career
to the next level, she was also hard to work
with often, and that's sort of the vibe you get
from this documentary, So there's unaired footage that you see
(04:24):
of her, and then you know, it talks to a
lot of the people that knew her best and worked
with her the most, and it's a fascinating look at,
you know, someone who deserves all of the fame that
they found and you know, and everything else that happened.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah. Right, And you know, I think that like with
someone like her, where she was breaking those glass ceilings
and getting into the man's world, I mean, she had
to be hard to work with. She had to be
a bull in the china shop, you know. So I'm
going to I'm going to give her a little bit
of a pass for that. I think if she would
have been nice and sweet, she wouldn't have got where
she could.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It wouldn't have worked. Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah. And
you know, one of the other things that I find
super fascinating is like her contentious relationship with Diane Sawyer
when they were both working for ABC. You know. So
it is like there's it does a good job of
touching on every aspect of you know, her career. So
it is, you know, it was it was very a
very fascinating watch.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
All right. ABC's multi platform reporter Will Ganz, thanks so much.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You too, Amy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Take care all right, talk to you next week. Let's
get back to a few of the stories we're working
