Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now it's time for Friday Nights with Natica day La Cruz.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Thank you so very much.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Mo.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is Friday the thirteenth, how about that?
Speaker 5 (00:14):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right? Well okay, So last week when I was here,
I said, you know, the holidays are here, and I
wanted you to guys. I wanted you guys to get
out there somewhere with your family and enjoy the things
that Southern California has to offer. So I went to
one two three Christmas Nights. Now, I've been to the
one two three Farm for the Lavender Farm before, but
(00:35):
this is during the holidays. So one two three Christmas
Nights is going to be here till December twenty third.
It's out there in Cherry Valley and it offers a
festive and enchanting celebration of the holiday season, located at
the historic Highland Springs Ranch and Inn. And the event
features over one million twinkling lights. Let me repeat that
(00:59):
again and one million twinkling lights. Do you know what
that light bill is?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I thank god we don't pay it, but it is
transformed and the grounds is absolutely magical. It is a
magical winter wonderland. Visitors can stroll through illuminated paths, marvel
and creatively designed displays, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of
the farm's lavender fields and century old olive trees. Now,
(01:26):
this family friendly event also includes a variety of activities
to make the season extra special. You can shop in
their unique holiday gifts and please don't miss them. They
have such great little boutiques there, and they also offer
handmade crafts that are just seasonal. They have seasonal produce
and a farm inspired merchandise. They have festive foods, They
(01:50):
have alcoholic drinks for those that are interested. They have
this lavender hot cocoa which sounds a little uh, but
it is delicious, I will say that. And they also
have freshly bag treats add the warm holiday spirit, providing
something so you know, you could have something with your family,
something savory. Now, beyond the lights and shopping, the farm
(02:10):
also offers hands on experience and entertainment. Children can also
visit the petting zoo and families can take part in
the really cool wagon ride through the scenic property. Now,
whether you're looking to capture holiday memories, enjoy quality time
with loved ones, or just immerse yourself in the season
of just the holidays. One two three Christmas Lights provides
(02:33):
a memorable and heartwarming experience. Now I will say that
tickets must be purchased in advance online. You cannot buy
tickets at the door. And I don't want to forget.
One more thing, which was probably one of my favorites.
You could rent a small pit and you have to
go online and rent that too.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Ah. Do they provide the marshallows.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
They provide everything in this snack pack mo, even the
long long sticks. And you're sitting there and the fire
with maybe maybe two, you know, maybe two or three
other people, depending on who reserved, and you just sit
there and you make s'mores until you are chocolate wasted.
I'm not kidding you. It is so amazing. So I
(03:19):
definitely would love for you to experience this and take
the family. For more information, go to one two three
farm dot com. That's one two three farm dot com
and something else to do. This is not something I
went to, but I just want to kind of let
you know. So, So Christmas Nights one to three Christmas
Nights will be here till December twenty third, but on
(03:41):
December twenty fourth, they have the largest holiday celebration, which
is the sixty fifth Annual La County Holiday Celebration at
the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. And that's going to be on
Christmas Eve on the twenty fourth, from three to six pm,
and that is absolutely free, spe And if you can't make.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It, can I want you to say that again because
there's something I want to tell about that.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh Okay, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and it's the sixty fifth
annual La County Holidays Celebration. It's from three to six
and it's absolutely free, first come, first serve, basically, first come,
first seated guests are welcome to come and stay throughout
the performances. And if you can't go, I will say
(04:28):
that they are going to stream it live on PBS,
so gay I watch.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It every single year.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It used to be all day, okay, and they shorten
it to three to six, and then they'll probably replay
it immediately after, like He'll be three to six live
and then they'll rerun it from six to nine, and
then I'll watch Diehard from nine until eleven o'clock that
that is my by tradition every single.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Year, okay. But also they will live stream on pbssocal
dot org. So in just in case you don't know,
So if you can't watch it on PBS SoCal, go
to pbssocal dot org. I didn't even know that you
every single year, I do not live okay. So it's
three to six this year, this year Christmas Eve, and
you watch it so you'll be on the comfort of
(05:15):
your own house. But if you'd like to be there,
it's from three to six, and it's absolutely free. No reservations,
no tickets, no nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Just show up, show up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And have fun. Get into the holiday spirit. Like I
said last week, it's not what's about, what's what do
you have under the tree? It's who do you spend
around the tree and on this holiday season. And you
know a lot of us don't get a lot of
free time, vacation days, you know, personal days. So make
the best out of it.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
And when we come back, we will have our hidden
gym for the week. It's Later with mo Kelly. More
of Friday Night with Natica Taylor Cruz in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, Kelly one Kay.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Six KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
It's Friday Nights with Natica de La, Who's on later
with Moe Kelly it is time for the Hidden Gem
of Today. Her name is Michelle London. Michelle London's life
in Orange County was a testament to love and partnership.
Growing up in sunny San Diego, she never imagined the
(06:30):
rollercoaster of emotions that laid ahead. It was during her
college years that she met Ron, a charming engineer student
with a contagious laugh. Their connection was instant, and after
a worldwood romance, they tied the knot embarked on a
journey that would span three decades. Together, Michelle and Ron
(06:51):
built a beautiful life, welcoming two children into the world.
Their home was filled with laughter, family game nights, and
the ombroma of Michelle Famous Lasagna. Ron's career flourished, and
Michelle found fulfillment in her work as a teacher, always
returning home to the warm embrace of her loving family. However,
(07:11):
their world shattered when Ron suddenly passed away from a
heart attack. Michelle felt as though the ground had disappeared
beneath her. She struggled to navigate this new, unwonted reality.
Simple tasks became monumental challenges, and the future seemed bleak
without her partner of thirty years by her side. In
(07:35):
her darkest hour, Michelle's best friend, Sarah, a compassionate nurse,
gently suggested a widow support group. Initially reluctant, Michelle agreed
to attend, finding solace in sharing her grief with others
who truly understood it is there where her instructor, noticing
Michelle's profound struggle, referred her to you Are Special dot org,
(07:59):
an organization dedicated to supporting those who have lost their spouses.
You Are Special dot org was founded by Emma Thompson,
herself a widow, who recognized the need for a comprehensive
support system for those navigating a complex journey of grief.
The organization offers a range of services, from counseling and
(08:21):
financial advice to social events that help widows and widowers
rebuild their lives. Throughout its compassion approach and understanding community,
Yourespecial dot org has become a beacon of home for
countless individuals like Michelle herself, providing them with tools and
support to rediscover purpose and joy in the life after loss. Also,
(08:46):
it has helped Michelle to be an advocate and to
help others that have been in the same situation. Finding
a sense of community is so important. And a few
facts that I found, especially with women losing their husbands
and being a widow or widower, Seventy percent of women
(09:09):
are expected to outlive their husbands, some for as long
as fifteen to twenty years MO. Fifty two percent will
rely on their spouse for long term care, forty percent
leave retirement planning to their husbands, eighty percent lack financial
savvy to make planning decisions, and fifty two percent have
(09:30):
never worked with a financial planner but would love to.
So if you know someone who recently became a widow
or widower, I would love for you to get involved
or learn a little bit more or donate to the foundation.
It's www. You are Special dot org. That's you are
(09:50):
special dot org.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The word spelled out, why owe you ar special? Dot org.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
This was speaking to me, Nautica, because my mother was
with my father for sixty years, married for fifty eight plus,
almost fifty nine and when my father passed.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
There are two things. There are two tracks.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
There's the emotional grief track that my mother had to navigate,
and then also she had to learn how to do
most of the things that my father here at before
was doing. Now my sister and I will do a
lot of stuff, but my father, to his benefit, made
sure that my mother was aware of all the investments
(10:34):
where all that information was.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We had gone through.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Redone all the bank accounts where my sister and I
were signatories on the account. But there were small things
that my father took care of, like around the house.
My mother doesn't pump into her gas. She's never pumped
gas before, okay, And I always go to her house
and get her car and fill it up. No, I
don't charge her. And I filled up her car. That
(10:59):
was just something that my father had always done. And
so when I'm listening to you talking about youourspecial dot Org,
I think about you know, you're dealing with the grief,
the loss, the absence, and then there's also the day
to day life afterward that you still have to manage
and tackle. And this is this is something that's so
(11:19):
very important that needs to be discussed more and addressed more.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I completely agree with you. I have a friend who
always says he never wants to be a burden to
his children. So he has this book in a safe
in his house, and he has everything already planned, and
he he has a like a family meeting every year
at the beginning of the year, just in case there
are changes and so forth, and you know what they
(11:44):
need to know about. And I think that is just brilliant,
and it's it just exemplifies just maturity and knowing that
we may be here today, but we may not here
be here tomorrow. And I think that's so important. Whether
you do a will or a trust, I think it's
(12:04):
it's no matter what age you are at, it's you
have to get a place in time where you have
to have those difficult conversations and they are uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I am here to tell you they are uncomfortable. Be
it power of attorney. If this happens, then what But
you do not want to have to deal with it
under the fog of grief and emotion. You're going to
have to plan for this in advance. And it's better
when nothing's going wrong that's supposed to win. Everything is
gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yes, And I say that to my father all the
time because anytime I bring up that subject, he just
gets very defensive and he gets very angry with me.
And then I, you know, my mom has to calm
him down, and I'm like, but you guys, you guys
have so much property, and you know, And then I
always think about it because my brother, my brother Santiago,
(12:52):
always says, oh, you're the one that's going to handle it.
Of course I am, because I'm the oldest, you know
what I mean. But I'm also very responsible. But it
just it's very difficult. But I want to say that
it is a great organization, but be prepared for the unknown.
I think that is very very important and learn. You know,
my mom is not tech savvy at all. She doesn't
(13:13):
know what auto pay is. She doesn't know what's sending.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
A wire is.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean, the lady barely writes a check because my
dad writes all the checks or all the bills, as
my father did, right, I'm serious, Yes, my mother couldn't.
I think I've said this was important. My mother couldn't
tell you who she needed to write a check for
the mortgage or how much it is.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's a different time, buddy.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yes, you know what I mean. And I think having
that conversation, that mutual conversation amongst a couple or your
children is very important.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I would make one other recommendation.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yes, if you're the child, have that conversation with your parents,
But if you are also the child, an adult child,
speak to someone who's lost a parent, so you as
the child will know what you will have to do.
You will have to navigate what you have to look
out for. And I had a great advocate in producer
(14:06):
Michelle Michelle Cbe who had lost her father and was
counseling me every single day.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Don't forget about this. Be mindful of that.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
In the way that you have to prepare your parents,
you have to prepare you yourself. Have to be prepared
because you're going to have to navigate grief and also
navigate the business of this as well, because you're going
to have a single parent at that point, presumably like
my mother is living off my father's long term health
(14:35):
care and pension and all those things. When you were talking,
you were talking about my life. Okay, you know, so
all this really speaks to me. You need to have
someone who can walk you through as the and I
remember someone said your parents are going to turn into
your children.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Could not be more true. Oh they will lie to you,
you know. It's like, hey, I need to know if
there's a problem. They will lie to you. They will withhold.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Information from you, and you have to learn how to
man that and all these things you have to learn
about before you're in the situation. So the only thing
I'd recommend is have the conversation with your parents, and
have the conversation with someone who's not your parent, who's
already gone through it, who can give you a roadmap
and a blueprint to follow.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh wow, you should just just write a tutorial on that, Honestly,
you should.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's a club. I wish I wasn't in.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I know, I know you could YouTube it. We just
talked about off the air instructional stuff. But you know,
I I yes, you know, I'm gonna have to sit
down once again and try to get to have that
conversation with my father. And I know it's a brutal
conversation and it's painful, and it's all the above, but
you know, that's that's life, and we're living life, you know, yep.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Nonica dea la Cruz, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KF I Am six forty.

Nature talks about pontificates, pop culture, ron and Report with
Mark Ronner.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Hey if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeart app. I'm Mark Ronner and it's the Runner Report tonight.
Craven the Hunter of all Spider Man's rogues Gallery of villains,
Craven the Hunter seems like the one who'd be the
biggest d bag if he existed in the real world. Listen,
when I see pictures of trophy hunters with the magnificent
animals they've blown to Kingdom come, or standing by the
(16:39):
body of the animal holding the tail they've cut off,
I always wish the animal had won. And bullfights, I
root for the bull. And I sure don't need to
see a whole movie about some inadequate, macho buffoon who
derives selfworth from killing animals for sport. When I give
Spider Man an enemy called Carl the Baby Seal Clubber
and make a movie about that too, actually don't steal that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I might have some ideas there.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
But here we are with Craven the Hunter, a movie
which is supposedly the last time Sony dips into the
Spider Man well without a Spider Man appearance again, no less.
I guess this means we never get to see a
Kangaroo feature film. If you don't know the Kangaroo. It's
an actual Spider Man villain. It's an Australian guy who
I believe was bitten by a radioactive kangaroo, and he
(17:22):
hops around and kicks people. Could that be worse than this?
And could this be worse than say, Madam Webb or Morbius.
Here's a little bit of the trailer for Craven.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I stared death in the face for the first time.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I saw my true self, my son.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Why do you hunt my father?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Pus evil as the world?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'd take it out which.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hill up here? We have a montage of violence.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Power.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Tell me I'm about this hunter? What you're on his list?
There's only one way off? Here's next.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Who's next to you? If you bought a ticket to
this thing? Here's your pull quote publicist Craven certainly isn't necessary,
but at least it's dumb and way too long after
an opening a super kill from Craven, This kind of
like a pre credit James Bond sequence. We get an extended,
like a half hour flashback to his childhood and people
aren't just born called Craven. So we're introduced to the
(18:44):
Russian Kravanoff family or Kravinoff. Russell Crowe, who has a
lifestyle to maintain. Apparently is a gangster boss. He's reached
that stage of his career and he has two sons,
one who's going to become Craven and the weaker beta
half brother, Dimitri, who is not. That wasn't the first
word that came to mind, but we're on the radio
and almost before you can say why are any of
(19:06):
us here, we get teen Craven transformed by a magic
potion after a lion attack. Again, it was during a hunt,
so I was rooting for the lion, and it brings
him back to life as a super agile, super fast,
super parkouring, bullet dodging male model who refuses to wear
a proper shirt to hide his eight pack apps. Now
(19:26):
Craven seems a little bit like a homicidal doctor do
a little to me, with some vague ability to do
something or other with animals. He has the mystical ability
to make water buffaloes not stampede him or something. He's
also a bit like the old Ernest Hemingway code hero
macho dude who will sleep with his friend's wife but
never shoot a rhino from a moving jeep. Or it's
been a while, sleep with a rhino and a moving
(19:46):
jeep while never shooting a friend's wife, who can remember.
There's a couple of hilariously bad villains in Craven.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The Hunter.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
One kills people by counting to three and then appearing
somewhere they weren't looking. The other is the Rhino, which
comic fans will remember we were teased with a Paul
Giamati rhino in a mech suit at the end of
one of the previous Spider Man movies. This isn't him,
no connection, and it's an even less satisfying one. In fact,
he's got worse, some liquid purse thing that looks like
(20:13):
a reverse colostomy bag that keeps him from turning into
the rhino very cleverly.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
So until almost the end of the movie.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
It seemed to me like people and I'm not sure
critics are people were lying in wait for Craven. Though
it had a rotten tomatoes score in the mid teens
last time I looked. They're like cowardly pack animals who
can tell if something's weak, so they gang up on
it the feeding frenzy, and I wanted to give Craven
a sporting chance. There's no way anyone could call this
a good movie, or passable or a thing you should
(20:44):
spend your time on when American life ex expectancy is
declining or intelligent in any way. But it's not the
unspeakable Madame web Code Brown you might be led to believe.
And Tawala will weigh on this shortly. There's also something
unintentionally hilarious about the constant CGI action, especially Craven's assorted
animal based gymnastics. And by the way, am I the
(21:08):
only one who wants to watch some of that old
Simon McCorkindale show Manimal? Now, don't act like you don't
know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Mo To, No I know would show you.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's manimal, damn you, and I hope it's streaming someplace.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
As much as CGI is advancing, it still doesn't look
natural in Craven, or maybe since this was the last
one of those from Sony. They thought no one would
notice if they went for the cheaper Lee Jeans version
of CGI. It made me think of these recent apes
movies watching what's intended to be more realistic chimp movement
with the things scooting and clambering around. It just it
made me laugh. Give me the guys standing upright with
(21:44):
just the mask on any day. Craven's also weirdly violent,
with Craven really killing lots of people extra impolitely. But
it's not fun hyperviolence like Deadpool and Wolverine. It's more
like jamming a couple things together that don't quite fit,
like micro waved fish all a mode. Also, if you
held a gun to my head, I'm not sure I
(22:05):
could tell you the plot of this movie, and that
doesn't even have anything to do with dozing off a
couple times. The dialogue's full of howlers. There's a scene
where Craven's in an elevator with a guy and he
mentions I am a hunter of people, and I think
they snorted out loud in the theater. If this really
is the final one for Sony, nothing that euthanasia references
(22:26):
come to mind. I mean, we just got a really
silly Origin movie setting up a character and other characters
and villains that we're never gonna see again, well until
it's streaming somewhere in about a month. There's your run
A report.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
MO.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Now, this guy, Aaron Taylor Johnson is rumored also to
be in contention for James bond Man. I don't see
that after this movie, but nothing matters.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
When we come back, we'll get another craven review from
to Walla Sharp. We'll see if he agrees or disagrees
with you and your review question because it sounds like
and don't let me know Twala or Mark, but hopefully
you'll be able to answer the question. The next segment,
is it that Taylor Aaron Taylor Johnson just can't do accents?
(23:11):
Because every time I see him he's trying to do
an accent, he usually falls short. And I could think
of three different movies in which he's tried.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I love it when people try to do Russian or
Eastern European accents.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's like the go to thing. Now it just amuses
me no end.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
And you heard Russell Crows in the clip that I played, Yes,
it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well we're gonna get more hilarity in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Forty Later with mo Kelly. We're not done with Craven,
as it turns out. Mark Ronner when he did his
run Or Report, he gave his review of the new
Sony movie Craven, which is now in theaters, and Tula
Sharp decided to see the movie last night after work.
(24:00):
For some reason, he likes these really late ass movies.
I don't get it, but now Twalla Sharp his hints
review of the movie.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I like late movies because they lack crowds, and that
is a bonus. The only thing I liked about this
movie was seeing it in AMC Prime at the Americana
in Glendale. Prime is like Dobe, but the sound, the picture,
everything is even more amplified. And there was a gorgeous
(24:32):
young lady who was denying me food last night because
I got there and they said, we're sorry, the concession
standards closed.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I'm like, my movie's just started.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
She said, I know, but we closed like ten fifteen
minutes ago, and I'm like, but my movie's just.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Starting right now.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I know. I wish I could do something for you
I'll give you a cup because I'm like, I want
to get some water. Yeah, like, oh my god. But
she was fine, so I had to take it. Then
I went to this because I wasn't gonna argue. I
was like, you're too fine for me to argue with.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Jesus love it.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Then I go in and I see this movie, and
off the top I can tell you this, Mark Ronner
is a liar. This movie is not only a code Brown,
it is a code diarrhea. I mean, my god, man,
I don't know when I have seen a worse film,
(25:27):
not just superhero film, just films period. This film is
in a race to the bottom with Madam Webb.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It actually is.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
This guy has not only the inability to carry an accent,
he has the inability to sound tough because he kept
switching to this Russian accent, which I swear was overdubbed.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's no way the Russian accent.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Which was dah, I kill you now to his regular
I'm craven accent, SA, why do you want to do
it that? It's like, oh my god, dude. It was bad.
The story unbelievably bad. The acting, it was as dry
as a Gobi desert.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Mouth.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean, Jesus man.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
It was embarrassing to the point where there are a
couple of moments where I felt so bad that the
actors were made to do what they were doing on screen.
I hit in my sweater a little bit. Like the
second it was, I felt it in my core, like,
oh my god, Like their their friends and their family members,
their children are watching this. They're saying, mommy, daddy, why
(26:35):
did you have to do this movie?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
My friends are gonna make such fun of me. Oh
my god. Russell Crowe, he wasn't just phoning it in.
He was eating it in My god, man, oh he's grown.
Oh my god. This film the one two three villain.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I swear if I look at you right now, moment
I say one, dude, A three and you're like, and
after I say three, you're like, where are you?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
And I'm standing right behind you. That's not an effective villain.
It's like, oh, what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Like someone's mother? Don't make me count the three? Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
The fact that this guy got his powers, according to
this film, from the radiated lion's blood, Well, what myself.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I want to get their powers from in irradiated something.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's it's it's some type of spiritual Captain Planet thing
that happened where there's some poorly acted I don't know
sage woman in the African outback who has some type
of wisdom.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Juice that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Give you the PAF gives you eyes of the eagle,
prowl of the monkey, power of the line.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh my, I'm trying to think what is worse than
this besides Madam Webb.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
While you're thinking about that as you think of another title.
But doesn't this go back to our other conversation talking
about people are.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Not tired of superhero movies.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
People are tired of bad movies parading as superhero movies.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Oh absolutely, And this is why before the film even
came out, before it was even available for the public
to see, SODI said, hey, hey, hey, this is our
last reviews. We're not doing any more movies. We're done.
We are done with this universe. We quit.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We absolutely quit.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
We have absolutely let ourselves go all in the commode.
We have destroyed the bathroom. You cannot go into the
restroom after this. You're gonna have to call Ady Dowo
or Jack Stefan to get this best cleaned up.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Jesus. Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Now did you notice to all of the character who
gives Craven his magic potion at the beginning? Calypso, yes,
she just kind of disappears eventually. No, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
She disappears after out of nowhere, dropping some ridiculous f bombs,
and you're just like, wait, so this what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's like it's like she's like sweetest pie.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Then all of a sudden it's died blakendy blakendy blake.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You're like, where's this? Who is this character? And why? Oh? Mark?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
There were so many things wrong with this, including the
fact that it looked old. The film looked and played
out as if it was shot years ago, as if
it somehow was supposed to come out after the second
Andrew Garfield Spider Man. Because there are things in this
film that connected back to that. It's not connected to
(29:22):
either having to do with the Tom Holland or where
we're at in the Marvel Cinematic universe now. No, it
is connecting back to the older Spider Man films. It's
alluding to them, it's not even really connected because there's
one thing that happens in the film that I'm like,
what are you doing right now?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Fighters?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Fighters?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Fighters?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Either there is a brief sequence that hints that Craven
could possibly someday have trouble with somebody called Spider Man,
and the reasons why. It's almost like, who are you with?
I'm by myself, I'm solo. What's your name?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Can solo? My Wait?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So they put in a tease that they knew going
in they will never pay off, never ever pay off.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
They had a character revealed in the end of this
film that I got thought out laugh out loud. I
was like, so his brother is supposed to be Oh
my god.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Well, here's the deal. The director is a pretty well
known guy with a decent resume. His name is JC Chandor,
and you really get the idea that he was saddled
with something that he just had to carry out, regardless
of the quality. This is the guy who did that
Margin Call movie, which is really good.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
No, look, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He obviously is going
through something right now and someone needs to check on him.
Someone needs to call and make sure he's okay, because
if this is what he's doing, it's a sign he
needs help.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
When you have naja Har
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI a M six forty
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now it's time for Friday Nights with Natica day La Cruz.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Thank you so very much.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Mo.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is Friday the thirteenth, how about that?
Speaker 5 (00:14):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right? Well okay, So last week when I was here,
I said, you know, the holidays are here, and I
wanted you to guys. I wanted you guys to get
out there somewhere with your family and enjoy the things
that Southern California has to offer. So I went to
one two three Christmas Nights. Now, I've been to the
one two three Farm for the Lavender Farm before, but
(00:35):
this is during the holidays. So one two three Christmas
Nights is going to be here till December twenty third.
It's out there in Cherry Valley and it offers a
festive and enchanting celebration of the holiday season, located at
the historic Highland Springs Ranch and Inn. And the event
features over one million twinkling lights. Let me repeat that
(00:59):
again and one million twinkling lights. Do you know what
that light bill is?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I thank god we don't pay it, but it is
transformed and the grounds is absolutely magical. It is a
magical winter wonderland. Visitors can stroll through illuminated paths, marvel
and creatively designed displays, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of
the farm's lavender fields and century old olive trees. Now,
(01:26):
this family friendly event also includes a variety of activities
to make the season extra special. You can shop in
their unique holiday gifts and please don't miss them. They
have such great little boutiques there, and they also offer
handmade crafts that are just seasonal. They have seasonal produce
and a farm inspired merchandise. They have festive foods, They
(01:50):
have alcoholic drinks for those that are interested. They have
this lavender hot cocoa which sounds a little uh, but
it is delicious, I will say that. And they also
have freshly bag treats add the warm holiday spirit, providing
something so you know, you could have something with your family,
something savory. Now, beyond the lights and shopping, the farm
(02:10):
also offers hands on experience and entertainment. Children can also
visit the petting zoo and families can take part in
the really cool wagon ride through the scenic property. Now,
whether you're looking to capture holiday memories, enjoy quality time
with loved ones, or just immerse yourself in the season
of just the holidays. One two three Christmas Lights provides
(02:33):
a memorable and heartwarming experience. Now I will say that
tickets must be purchased in advance online. You cannot buy
tickets at the door. And I don't want to forget.
One more thing, which was probably one of my favorites.
You could rent a small pit and you have to
go online and rent that too.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Ah. Do they provide the marshallows.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
They provide everything in this snack pack mo, even the
long long sticks. And you're sitting there and the fire
with maybe maybe two, you know, maybe two or three
other people, depending on who reserved, and you just sit
there and you make s'mores until you are chocolate wasted.
I'm not kidding you. It is so amazing. So I
(03:19):
definitely would love for you to experience this and take
the family. For more information, go to one two three
farm dot com. That's one two three farm dot com
and something else to do. This is not something I
went to, but I just want to kind of let
you know. So, So Christmas Nights one to three Christmas
Nights will be here till December twenty third, but on
(03:41):
December twenty fourth, they have the largest holiday celebration, which
is the sixty fifth Annual La County Holiday Celebration at
the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. And that's going to be on
Christmas Eve on the twenty fourth, from three to six pm,
and that is absolutely free, spe And if you can't make.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It, can I want you to say that again because
there's something I want to tell about that.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh Okay, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and it's the sixty fifth
annual La County Holidays Celebration. It's from three to six
and it's absolutely free, first come, first serve, basically, first come,
first seated guests are welcome to come and stay throughout
the performances. And if you can't go, I will say
(04:28):
that they are going to stream it live on PBS,
so gay I watch.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It every single year.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It used to be all day, okay, and they shorten
it to three to six, and then they'll probably replay
it immediately after, like He'll be three to six live
and then they'll rerun it from six to nine, and
then I'll watch Diehard from nine until eleven o'clock that
that is my by tradition every single.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Year, okay. But also they will live stream on pbssocal
dot org. So in just in case you don't know,
So if you can't watch it on PBS SoCal, go
to pbssocal dot org. I didn't even know that you
every single year, I do not live okay. So it's
three to six this year, this year Christmas Eve, and
you watch it so you'll be on the comfort of
(05:15):
your own house. But if you'd like to be there,
it's from three to six, and it's absolutely free. No reservations,
no tickets, no nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Just show up, show up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And have fun. Get into the holiday spirit. Like I
said last week, it's not what's about, what's what do
you have under the tree? It's who do you spend
around the tree and on this holiday season. And you
know a lot of us don't get a lot of
free time, vacation days, you know, personal days. So make
the best out of it.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
And when we come back, we will have our hidden
gym for the week. It's Later with mo Kelly. More
of Friday Night with Natica Taylor Cruz in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, Kelly one Kay.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Six KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
It's Friday Nights with Natica de La, Who's on later
with Moe Kelly it is time for the Hidden Gem
of Today. Her name is Michelle London. Michelle London's life
in Orange County was a testament to love and partnership.
Growing up in sunny San Diego, she never imagined the
(06:30):
rollercoaster of emotions that laid ahead. It was during her
college years that she met Ron, a charming engineer student
with a contagious laugh. Their connection was instant, and after
a worldwood romance, they tied the knot embarked on a
journey that would span three decades. Together, Michelle and Ron
(06:51):
built a beautiful life, welcoming two children into the world.
Their home was filled with laughter, family game nights, and
the ombroma of Michelle Famous Lasagna. Ron's career flourished, and
Michelle found fulfillment in her work as a teacher, always
returning home to the warm embrace of her loving family. However,
(07:11):
their world shattered when Ron suddenly passed away from a
heart attack. Michelle felt as though the ground had disappeared
beneath her. She struggled to navigate this new, unwonted reality.
Simple tasks became monumental challenges, and the future seemed bleak
without her partner of thirty years by her side. In
(07:35):
her darkest hour, Michelle's best friend, Sarah, a compassionate nurse,
gently suggested a widow support group. Initially reluctant, Michelle agreed
to attend, finding solace in sharing her grief with others
who truly understood it is there where her instructor, noticing
Michelle's profound struggle, referred her to you Are Special dot org,
(07:59):
an organization dedicated to supporting those who have lost their spouses.
You Are Special dot org was founded by Emma Thompson,
herself a widow, who recognized the need for a comprehensive
support system for those navigating a complex journey of grief.
The organization offers a range of services, from counseling and
(08:21):
financial advice to social events that help widows and widowers
rebuild their lives. Throughout its compassion approach and understanding community,
Yourespecial dot org has become a beacon of home for
countless individuals like Michelle herself, providing them with tools and
support to rediscover purpose and joy in the life after loss. Also,
(08:46):
it has helped Michelle to be an advocate and to
help others that have been in the same situation. Finding
a sense of community is so important. And a few
facts that I found, especially with women losing their husbands
and being a widow or widower, Seventy percent of women
(09:09):
are expected to outlive their husbands, some for as long
as fifteen to twenty years MO. Fifty two percent will
rely on their spouse for long term care, forty percent
leave retirement planning to their husbands, eighty percent lack financial
savvy to make planning decisions, and fifty two percent have
(09:30):
never worked with a financial planner but would love to.
So if you know someone who recently became a widow
or widower, I would love for you to get involved
or learn a little bit more or donate to the foundation.
It's www. You are Special dot org. That's you are
(09:50):
special dot org.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The word spelled out, why owe you ar special? Dot org.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
This was speaking to me, Nautica, because my mother was
with my father for sixty years, married for fifty eight plus,
almost fifty nine and when my father passed.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
There are two things. There are two tracks.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
There's the emotional grief track that my mother had to navigate,
and then also she had to learn how to do
most of the things that my father here at before
was doing. Now my sister and I will do a
lot of stuff, but my father, to his benefit, made
sure that my mother was aware of all the investments
(10:34):
where all that information was.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We had gone through.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Redone all the bank accounts where my sister and I
were signatories on the account. But there were small things
that my father took care of, like around the house.
My mother doesn't pump into her gas. She's never pumped
gas before, okay, And I always go to her house
and get her car and fill it up. No, I
don't charge her. And I filled up her car. That
(10:59):
was just something that my father had always done. And
so when I'm listening to you talking about youourspecial dot Org,
I think about you know, you're dealing with the grief,
the loss, the absence, and then there's also the day
to day life afterward that you still have to manage
and tackle. And this is this is something that's so
(11:19):
very important that needs to be discussed more and addressed more.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I completely agree with you. I have a friend who
always says he never wants to be a burden to
his children. So he has this book in a safe
in his house, and he has everything already planned, and
he he has a like a family meeting every year
at the beginning of the year, just in case there
are changes and so forth, and you know what they
(11:44):
need to know about. And I think that is just brilliant,
and it's it just exemplifies just maturity and knowing that
we may be here today, but we may not here
be here tomorrow. And I think that's so important. Whether
you do a will or a trust, I think it's
(12:04):
it's no matter what age you are at, it's you
have to get a place in time where you have
to have those difficult conversations and they are uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I am here to tell you they are uncomfortable. Be
it power of attorney. If this happens, then what But
you do not want to have to deal with it
under the fog of grief and emotion. You're going to
have to plan for this in advance. And it's better
when nothing's going wrong that's supposed to win. Everything is
gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yes, And I say that to my father all the
time because anytime I bring up that subject, he just
gets very defensive and he gets very angry with me.
And then I, you know, my mom has to calm
him down, and I'm like, but you guys, you guys
have so much property, and you know, And then I
always think about it because my brother, my brother Santiago,
(12:52):
always says, oh, you're the one that's going to handle it.
Of course I am, because I'm the oldest, you know
what I mean. But I'm also very responsible. But it
just it's very difficult. But I want to say that
it is a great organization, but be prepared for the unknown.
I think that is very very important and learn. You know,
my mom is not tech savvy at all. She doesn't
(13:13):
know what auto pay is. She doesn't know what's sending.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
A wire is.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean, the lady barely writes a check because my
dad writes all the checks or all the bills, as
my father did, right, I'm serious, Yes, my mother couldn't.
I think I've said this was important. My mother couldn't
tell you who she needed to write a check for
the mortgage or how much it is.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's a different time, buddy.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yes, you know what I mean. And I think having
that conversation, that mutual conversation amongst a couple or your
children is very important.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I would make one other recommendation.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yes, if you're the child, have that conversation with your parents,
But if you are also the child, an adult child,
speak to someone who's lost a parent, so you as
the child will know what you will have to do.
You will have to navigate what you have to look
out for. And I had a great advocate in producer
(14:06):
Michelle Michelle Cbe who had lost her father and was
counseling me every single day.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Don't forget about this. Be mindful of that.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
In the way that you have to prepare your parents,
you have to prepare you yourself. Have to be prepared
because you're going to have to navigate grief and also
navigate the business of this as well, because you're going
to have a single parent at that point, presumably like
my mother is living off my father's long term health
(14:35):
care and pension and all those things. When you were talking,
you were talking about my life. Okay, you know, so
all this really speaks to me. You need to have
someone who can walk you through as the and I
remember someone said your parents are going to turn into
your children.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Could not be more true. Oh they will lie to you,
you know. It's like, hey, I need to know if
there's a problem. They will lie to you. They will withhold.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Information from you, and you have to learn how to
man that and all these things you have to learn
about before you're in the situation. So the only thing
I'd recommend is have the conversation with your parents, and
have the conversation with someone who's not your parent, who's
already gone through it, who can give you a roadmap
and a blueprint to follow.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh wow, you should just just write a tutorial on that, Honestly,
you should.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's a club. I wish I wasn't in.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I know, I know you could YouTube it. We just
talked about off the air instructional stuff. But you know,
I I yes, you know, I'm gonna have to sit
down once again and try to get to have that
conversation with my father. And I know it's a brutal
conversation and it's painful, and it's all the above, but
you know, that's that's life, and we're living life, you know, yep.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Nonica dea la Cruz, thank you, thank you so much.

Hey if I am six forty live everywhere on the

Craven the Hunter of all Spider Man's rogues Gallery of villains,
Craven the Hunter seems like the one who'd be the
biggest d bag if he existed in the real world. Listen,
when I see pictures of trophy hunters with the magnificent
animals they've blown to Kingdom come, or standing by the
(16:39):
body of the animal holding the tail they've cut off,
I always wish the animal had won. And bullfights, I
root for the bull. And I sure don't need to
see a whole movie about some inadequate, macho buffoon who
derives selfworth from killing animals for sport. When I give
Spider Man an enemy called Carl the Baby Seal Clubber
and make a movie about that too, actually don't steal that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I might have some ideas there.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
But here we are with Craven the Hunter, a movie
which is supposedly the last time Sony dips into the
Spider Man well without a Spider Man appearance again, no less.
I guess this means we never get to see a
Kangaroo feature film. If you don't know the Kangaroo. It's
an actual Spider Man villain. It's an Australian guy who
I believe was bitten by a radioactive kangaroo, and he
(17:22):
hops around and kicks people. Could that be worse than this?
And could this be worse than say, Madam Webb or Morbius.
Here's a little bit of the trailer for Craven.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I stared death in the face for the first time.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I saw my true self, my son.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Why do you hunt my father?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Pus evil as the world?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'd take it out which.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hill up here? We have a montage of violence.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Power.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Tell me I'm about this hunter? What you're on his list?
There's only one way off? Here's next.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Who's next to you? If you bought a ticket to
this thing? Here's your pull quote publicist Craven certainly isn't necessary,
but at least it's dumb and way too long after
an opening a super kill from Craven, This kind of
like a pre credit James Bond sequence. We get an extended,
like a half hour flashback to his childhood and people
aren't just born called Craven. So we're introduced to the
(18:44):
Russian Kravanoff family or Kravinoff. Russell Crowe, who has a
lifestyle to maintain. Apparently is a gangster boss. He's reached
that stage of his career and he has two sons,
one who's going to become Craven and the weaker beta
half brother, Dimitri, who is not. That wasn't the first
word that came to mind, but we're on the radio
and almost before you can say why are any of
(19:06):
us here, we get teen Craven transformed by a magic
potion after a lion attack. Again, it was during a hunt,
so I was rooting for the lion, and it brings
him back to life as a super agile, super fast,
super parkouring, bullet dodging male model who refuses to wear
a proper shirt to hide his eight pack apps. Now
(19:26):
Craven seems a little bit like a homicidal doctor do
a little to me, with some vague ability to do
something or other with animals. He has the mystical ability
to make water buffaloes not stampede him or something. He's
also a bit like the old Ernest Hemingway code hero
macho dude who will sleep with his friend's wife but
never shoot a rhino from a moving jeep. Or it's
been a while, sleep with a rhino and a moving
(19:46):
jeep while never shooting a friend's wife, who can remember.
There's a couple of hilariously bad villains in Craven.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The Hunter.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
One kills people by counting to three and then appearing
somewhere they weren't looking. The other is the Rhino, which
comic fans will remember we were teased with a Paul
Giamati rhino in a mech suit at the end of
one of the previous Spider Man movies. This isn't him,
no connection, and it's an even less satisfying one. In fact,
he's got worse, some liquid purse thing that looks like
(20:13):
a reverse colostomy bag that keeps him from turning into
the rhino very cleverly.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
So until almost the end of the movie.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
It seemed to me like people and I'm not sure
critics are people were lying in wait for Craven. Though
it had a rotten tomatoes score in the mid teens
last time I looked. They're like cowardly pack animals who
can tell if something's weak, so they gang up on
it the feeding frenzy, and I wanted to give Craven
a sporting chance. There's no way anyone could call this
a good movie, or passable or a thing you should
(20:44):
spend your time on when American life ex expectancy is
declining or intelligent in any way. But it's not the
unspeakable Madame web Code Brown you might be led to believe.
And Tawala will weigh on this shortly. There's also something
unintentionally hilarious about the constant CGI action, especially Craven's assorted
animal based gymnastics. And by the way, am I the
(21:08):
only one who wants to watch some of that old
Simon McCorkindale show Manimal? Now, don't act like you don't
know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Mo To, No I know would show you.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's manimal, damn you, and I hope it's streaming someplace.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
As much as CGI is advancing, it still doesn't look
natural in Craven, or maybe since this was the last
one of those from Sony. They thought no one would
notice if they went for the cheaper Lee Jeans version
of CGI. It made me think of these recent apes
movies watching what's intended to be more realistic chimp movement
with the things scooting and clambering around. It just it
made me laugh. Give me the guys standing upright with
(21:44):
just the mask on any day. Craven's also weirdly violent,
with Craven really killing lots of people extra impolitely. But
it's not fun hyperviolence like Deadpool and Wolverine. It's more
like jamming a couple things together that don't quite fit,
like micro waved fish all a mode. Also, if you
held a gun to my head, I'm not sure I
(22:05):
could tell you the plot of this movie, and that
doesn't even have anything to do with dozing off a
couple times. The dialogue's full of howlers. There's a scene
where Craven's in an elevator with a guy and he
mentions I am a hunter of people, and I think
they snorted out loud in the theater. If this really
is the final one for Sony, nothing that euthanasia references
(22:26):
come to mind. I mean, we just got a really
silly Origin movie setting up a character and other characters
and villains that we're never gonna see again, well until
it's streaming somewhere in about a month. There's your run
A report.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
MO.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Now, this guy, Aaron Taylor Johnson is rumored also to
be in contention for James bond Man. I don't see
that after this movie, but nothing matters.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
When we come back, we'll get another craven review from
to Walla Sharp. We'll see if he agrees or disagrees
with you and your review question because it sounds like
and don't let me know Twala or Mark, but hopefully
you'll be able to answer the question. The next segment,
is it that Taylor Aaron Taylor Johnson just can't do accents?
(23:11):
Because every time I see him he's trying to do
an accent, he usually falls short. And I could think
of three different movies in which he's tried.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I love it when people try to do Russian or
Eastern European accents.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's like the go to thing. Now it just amuses
me no end.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
And you heard Russell Crows in the clip that I played, Yes,
it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well we're gonna get more hilarity in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Forty Later with mo Kelly. We're not done with Craven,
as it turns out. Mark Ronner when he did his
run Or Report, he gave his review of the new
Sony movie Craven, which is now in theaters, and Tula
Sharp decided to see the movie last night after work.
(24:00):
For some reason, he likes these really late ass movies.
I don't get it, but now Twalla Sharp his hints
review of the movie.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I like late movies because they lack crowds, and that
is a bonus. The only thing I liked about this
movie was seeing it in AMC Prime at the Americana
in Glendale. Prime is like Dobe, but the sound, the picture,
everything is even more amplified. And there was a gorgeous
(24:32):
young lady who was denying me food last night because
I got there and they said, we're sorry, the concession
standards closed.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I'm like, my movie's just started.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
She said, I know, but we closed like ten fifteen
minutes ago, and I'm like, but my movie's just.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Starting right now.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I know. I wish I could do something for you
I'll give you a cup because I'm like, I want
to get some water. Yeah, like, oh my god. But
she was fine, so I had to take it. Then
I went to this because I wasn't gonna argue. I
was like, you're too fine for me to argue with.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Jesus love it.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Then I go in and I see this movie, and
off the top I can tell you this, Mark Ronner
is a liar. This movie is not only a code Brown,
it is a code diarrhea. I mean, my god, man,
I don't know when I have seen a worse film,
(25:27):
not just superhero film, just films period. This film is
in a race to the bottom with Madam Webb.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It actually is.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
This guy has not only the inability to carry an accent,
he has the inability to sound tough because he kept
switching to this Russian accent, which I swear was overdubbed.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's no way the Russian accent.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Which was dah, I kill you now to his regular
I'm craven accent, SA, why do you want to do
it that? It's like, oh my god, dude. It was bad.
The story unbelievably bad. The acting, it was as dry
as a Gobi desert.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Mouth.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean, Jesus man.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
It was embarrassing to the point where there are a
couple of moments where I felt so bad that the
actors were made to do what they were doing on screen.
I hit in my sweater a little bit. Like the
second it was, I felt it in my core, like,
oh my god, Like their their friends and their family members,
their children are watching this. They're saying, mommy, daddy, why
(26:35):
did you have to do this movie?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
My friends are gonna make such fun of me. Oh
my god. Russell Crowe, he wasn't just phoning it in.
He was eating it in My god, man, oh he's grown.
Oh my god. This film the one two three villain.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I swear if I look at you right now, moment
I say one, dude, A three and you're like, and
after I say three, you're like, where are you?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
And I'm standing right behind you. That's not an effective villain.
It's like, oh, what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Like someone's mother? Don't make me count the three? Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
The fact that this guy got his powers, according to
this film, from the radiated lion's blood, Well, what myself.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I want to get their powers from in irradiated something.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's it's it's some type of spiritual Captain Planet thing
that happened where there's some poorly acted I don't know
sage woman in the African outback who has some type
of wisdom.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Juice that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Give you the PAF gives you eyes of the eagle,
prowl of the monkey, power of the line.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh my, I'm trying to think what is worse than
this besides Madam Webb.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
While you're thinking about that as you think of another title.
But doesn't this go back to our other conversation talking
about people are.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Not tired of superhero movies.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
People are tired of bad movies parading as superhero movies.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Oh absolutely, And this is why before the film even
came out, before it was even available for the public
to see, SODI said, hey, hey, hey, this is our
last reviews. We're not doing any more movies. We're done.
We are done with this universe. We quit.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We absolutely quit.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
We have absolutely let ourselves go all in the commode.
We have destroyed the bathroom. You cannot go into the
restroom after this. You're gonna have to call Ady Dowo
or Jack Stefan to get this best cleaned up.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Jesus. Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Now did you notice to all of the character who
gives Craven his magic potion at the beginning? Calypso, yes,
she just kind of disappears eventually. No, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
She disappears after out of nowhere, dropping some ridiculous f bombs,
and you're just like, wait, so this what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's like it's like she's like sweetest pie.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Then all of a sudden it's died blakendy blakendy blake.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You're like, where's this? Who is this character? And why? Oh? Mark?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
There were so many things wrong with this, including the
fact that it looked old. The film looked and played
out as if it was shot years ago, as if
it somehow was supposed to come out after the second
Andrew Garfield Spider Man. Because there are things in this
film that connected back to that. It's not connected to
(29:22):
either having to do with the Tom Holland or where
we're at in the Marvel Cinematic universe now. No, it
is connecting back to the older Spider Man films. It's
alluding to them, it's not even really connected because there's
one thing that happens in the film that I'm like,
what are you doing right now?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Fighters?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Fighters?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Fighters?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Either there is a brief sequence that hints that Craven
could possibly someday have trouble with somebody called Spider Man,
and the reasons why. It's almost like, who are you with?
I'm by myself, I'm solo. What's your name?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Can solo? My Wait?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So they put in a tease that they knew going
in they will never pay off, never ever pay off.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
They had a character revealed in the end of this
film that I got thought out laugh out loud. I
was like, so his brother is supposed to be Oh
my god.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Well, here's the deal. The director is a pretty well
known guy with a decent resume. His name is JC Chandor,
and you really get the idea that he was saddled
with something that he just had to carry out, regardless
of the quality. This is the guy who did that
Margin Call movie, which is really good.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
No, look, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He obviously is going
through something right now and someone needs to check on him.
Someone needs to call and make sure he's okay, because
if this is what he's doing, it's a sign he
needs help.
