Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Friday Nights with Me, not a Caa de la
Cruz on Later with mo Kelly. First and foremost, I
must say mo Kelly, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Felice,
Anna Nuevo Police Anuevo.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
There you go. I'm glad you didn't say Happy New
Years because that that's annoying me.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That as an.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, Well, it is a new year, and it
is that time to just get out and explore and
so for discover. So cal I went to the Marciano
Art Foundation. You've worn I'm sure you've worn guest jeans, right.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Not since nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles is housed
in a former Masonic temple built in nineteen sixty one.
This historic building was transformed into an art space by
the Marciano brothers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
So if you wore those guest jeans.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Maurice and Paul are both the co founders of the
brand Guests, who envisioned this contemporary art collection to the public.
Opened in twenty seventeen, I believe the foundation quickly became
a cultural hub hosting a variety of innovative exhibitions, and
currently they have this exhibition. This exhibit, I should say,
(01:19):
it's the Lighthouse exhibit by Doug Aitken, and it is
absolutely mesmerizing.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
It is beautiful. It is filled with.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Lights, and it has sound, and it has space, and
it just has this immersive installation. It has led panels
and a projection to create an environment that feels both
futuristic and deeply meditative. Now, as you walk through the exhibit,
I do suggest that you pay attention to absolutely everything,
(01:49):
just you know, kind of inhale the beauty of it
and inhale the art.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You're surrounded by shifting patterns.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of light that reflect off walls and services, creating a
you know, a kaleidoscope, you know what that is, right,
absolutely so, it's kind of a kaleidoscope effect. The soundscapes
accompanying the visuals enhance the experience, pulling visitors into a
multi sensory ex exploration of perception and time. One of
the most strike striking installations in the exhibit is a
(02:16):
corridor of mirrored walls illuminated by vibrant, ever changing light sequences.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
When I say, do not miss on anything, do not.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It is a little I want to say, the effect
is a little kind of hypnotic, making visitors feel as
though they are walking through.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
This kind of infinite space.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Atkin's ability to merge art and technology is on the
full display there, and it's amazing. Another highlight is a
central room featuring a large scale projection of abstract imagery.
The visuals, paired with a rhythmic audio backdrop kind of
just kind of feels it. It's like an odd to
(02:57):
beauty and it just like modern life. At the same time,
visitors often find themselves lingering, captivated by the ever evolving
patterns and immersive atmosphere. Now, the Marciano Art Foundation's permanent
collection features works by artists that I've never heard from,
But I did get to see Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, and.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Takahishi Mura Kami.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I hope I got that right, showcasing bold and provocative themes.
Also housing a repurpose Masonic temple, the space retains original
elements like its grand auditorium and murals, and you could
find a lot of history up there on the second floor.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Tickets for the LightScape Doug.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Aitken exhibit can be reserved at the Marciano Art Foundation website.
It is absolutely free, free ninety nine. Now I do
have to say that the lat Yes, how much?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Was it again?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Free ninety nine?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Just want to make sure I heard that directly. Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Now, the exhibit is open only Thursdays through Sunday, so
it's eleven am to five pm.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So if you Sunday's the only day.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I know some people like to go out on Fridays,
I mean on Mondays or Tuesdays if.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
They have the day off.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But it's only open Thursday through Sunday, eleven am to
five pm, offering an ample opportunity to experience it's brilliance.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Like I said, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Free, and I want to say that this isn't your
typical museum, MO. It is very futuristic, it's modern, it's bold,
it's different. You just have to go and check it
out and see it for yourself, because I have been
to a lot of museums here in Los Angeles that
I've explored and discovered so cal and I haven't seen one.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Quite like it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And if you know the little history of Maurice and
Paul Marciano, you know the co founders of guests you
could see in their clothing how they were always kind
of different.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
In the nineties they were very popular.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
If you had a pair of guest Janes, I remember,
you were like, oh, you've got money, you know, one.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh, it was a status it was.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It really was a status symbol because jeans were like,
I mean, you know, they were like fifty to fifty
five dollars and battles a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Wait there, it was a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
My mother said, no, you cannot have all those name
brand jeans like your beau and guests and what have you.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No, no, my.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Mother said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But you know, it was that emblem, emblem in the
back of the gene that was that upside down triangle,
and if you saw somebody wearing those, you were.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Like, oh, they they're they're hip.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, the in crowd.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I do want to say that the exhibit is only
here till March fifteenth, twenty twenty five, and if you'd
like to get tickets, you'd like to get some more
information or look at the art, you could go to
Marciano Artfoundation dot org. The address is forty three fifty
seven Wilship Boulevard in Los Angeles and just just take
(05:53):
it all in.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's like I said, it's the new year, get out.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
There, see new places, and you know, that's what it
what it's all about. We were trying to discover every
little corner of southern California.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You have actually interested me and to go see a
little more of southern California. This again, is something else
that I had no idea, which was right here under
our noses.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, so it's on the corner of Wiltshire and I
believe six. So you know the building because it was
a former Masonic temple. So when you look at the building,
you're like, oh, okay, I've seen this building trillions of
times when I'm driving on Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But it's not that anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's actually an art museum and the brothers decided to,
you know, put their collection in there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
So it's very intricate, it's bold, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's one of those that when you leave you'll definitely
have a good conversation about the art pieces that you
that you saw, So I suggest you definitely go check
it out.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
When we come back.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
We'll have the Hidden Gym for this week from Nautica
Daily Cruiz his Friday Nights with Nataka on Later with
Mo Kelly caf AM forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's Friday Nights.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But Natica de La, Who's on Later with Moe Kelly
and Today's hit and jem is Taylor Ginnins. Taylor Ginnons
was a referral from Angela Juads, thank you so very
much for reaching out tours to me. Taylor Ginnins grew
up in Michigan, a place where winter's bite hard and
snow seams endless.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We're so very thankful we don't live there.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
From a young age, he dreamed of escaping of the cold,
making a mark as an actor. When he turned twenty three,
Taylor packed his bags and headed right here to Los Angeles,
chasing that dream of Hollywood to become an actor and
you know, the promises of warm days and bright lights
and sunshine. At first, life in La felt like a
(07:51):
new beginning, but the city's glamour masked its challenges. Taylor's
dream began to crumble when he fell down. When he
fell in the wrong crowd. Acting gids never materialized, and
he found himself drifting from odd jobs to another. Over time,
bad habits took hold, and he eventually lost his footing entirely,
(08:13):
ending up homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. One
pivotal night, Taylor fell asleep on the steps of a church.
The next morning, the church's groundkeeper gave him a few
dollars and suggested he try a nearby shelter. With winter approaching,
even a mild one right here by LA standards not
too bad, but you know, Michigan is absolutely different.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He decided to go.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He made his way to the Los Angeles Mission, a
haven for those seeking a second chance, and the Mission
he encountered compassionate staff who listened without judgment and offered
a plan for recovery. Through their rehabilitation programs, he began
to rebuild his life step by step. It wasn't an
easy journey. Setbacks came out often, but so did small victories. Slowly,
(09:04):
Taylor learned to trust himself again, Though his dream of
acting never came to fruition. He found steady work as
a maintenance man at the VA Hospital and eventually secured
his own apartment The Los Angeles Mission isn't just a shelter,
it's a lifeline for people like Taylor. The foundation provides
not only meals in a safe place to sleep, but
(09:26):
also counseling, job training, and addiction recovery programs. Their more
natural approach addresses the root causes of homelessness.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Helping individuals regain independence and dignity. The Mission's success stories
are countless, and they stand as proof that with the
right support, transformation is possible. What makes a mission even
more impactful is its focus on community. Volunteers play a
vital role in running programs and offering mentorship. Donors ensure
(09:59):
that hot meals and clean beds are also available. For Taylor,
the Mission wasn't just a place to stay. It was
where he rediscovered his purpose. He now gives back by
volunteering and donating, paying forward to help ones to help
the ones that are needed. Taylor's story is a testament
to resilience and the power of second chances, and thanks
(10:22):
to the Los Angeles Mission, he turned his life around
and found stability. Today, Taylor is a beacon of hope
for others.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Proving that even when dreams take an unexpected turn, a
new path can lead to something equally meaningful.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
If you'd like to be involved. If you'd like to
be involved, or you like to get involved, or you'd like.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To donate, please log onto Los Angelesmission dot org. That's
Los Angelesmission dot org. And I cannot believe me that
I have donated and volunteered my time there and I
have fed during the Thanksgiving season and I never met
mentioned this organization, and I'm a little of embarrassed, but
(11:04):
I was like, it's in my own backyard, and I
had to mention it today and I'm so glad that
Angela what is emailed me and kind of sparked that
idea once again.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Well also sparking ideas. It's a new year.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yes, it might be that time where you may go
through your closet and clean out some items that may
be of use to someone else who is in more
need of them.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yes, you know it is that time that you know
the shelters need warm blankets and coats. You know, we
have fifty colts, we really only need three. You know,
those sweaters that maybe have a little little small little hole,
and you you know, so you're like, I don't want
to give it up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But I want to give it up.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Well, they're just a little too small for you.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, they're a little sh medium. Yes, it is time
to give them away. And you know, the Mission could
definitely use those donations as well. And also there is
a list on the website Los angelesmission dot org.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You know, if you have time, if you have a little.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Few extra dollars, soap, toothpaste, you know, Q tips, washrags, socks.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh it is winter, we are in need of socks.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So anything that you could spend a dollar on or
donate from your own closet, as long as it's clean,
of course, would be substantial and absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Going back to Taylor's story, I'm always amazed, and I'm
always find myself admiring someone who is bold enough and
daring enough to put all their stuff in the car
or whatever, pack up and move to the other side
of the country, chasing a dream where they may not
have a full blueprint of how to get there, but
they believe in themselves enough to at least try. Because honestly,
(12:47):
if I didn't live in Los Angeles, I don't think
I would have ended up in Los Angeles doing this,
because I don't think I was that person, and it
takes a brave person. I know, I'm as someone who
went from one coast to the other. What goes to
your mind? What possesses you to go where you don't
know anyone, You don't have the place to live, you
(13:09):
don't have that solid foundation to try.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You know, for some people, I think, and I'm just
speaking in general, I think it's one, you know, we
pay for the sunshine here and the palm trees, right,
But I also think it's you know, that quick money.
I want to be famous, I want to go out,
and then a lot of these actors come or you know,
it's it's a dream that they have and then the
next thing, you know, yes they may get some gigs,
(13:36):
or they may be you know, bussing or you know,
being a waiter, or it's really just kind of finding
of who you are. And some people make it, some
people don't. But I think we all have a dream regardless,
and sometimes we may stump on some rocks in the road.
But I love the tailor knew that he needed the help,
(13:58):
he got the help. He lives into the groundskeeper, and
he made a life for himself. Might have not been
the actor that he wanted, but just working at the
VA hospital, he could help other people too.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I always say do what you can, yes, what you
have right where you are, Yes, sir, absolutely not a
co Dela Cruz. How was your very quickly? How was
your your Christmas?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
In New Year's My Christmas was wonderful. I went to
the Bay Area, spent some time with my parents and
my family, and oh, I was so happy because I think,
you know, God really heard my prayers.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
They didn't get on my nerves.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And sometimes that's enough.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Yes, I just want a holiday in which I didn't
have to cuss everybody out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And for New Year's Eve, I had a front row
seat VP in my living room.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh did you at least make it to midnight?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I did. I made it till twelve fifteen.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And then you're out like, yeah, well actually no, because
I'm not going to say where I live. But there was,
and I say this angrily, there was fireworks till about
two o'clock.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
It should be accustomed to that by now. There are
fireworks in our neighborhood. I know Steph could have attest
to this. There are fireworks for a football game.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
They're fireworks.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
They are fireworks all year round for everything, including New
Year's Eves. Man, they had fireworks today and I'm telling,
what are you celebrating?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But it was fun. I don't I do not believe
in New Year's resolutions. I just be and being. I
just believe in being a better human being.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Well, thank you for going on this journey with us,
Thank you for thank you sharing another hidden gamen.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
We'll see you soon.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh yes, and I wanted to say thank you and
twala so very much for I just made a year
here today.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
So I'm very excited.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
We're going to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty talks about.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's pop culture, ron and Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
It's Later with mo Kelly on kf I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeart App. I'm Mark Ronner.
It's the Runner Report. We haven't talked about No s
Faratu yet and it's worth catching up with. Unlike a
lot of major movies we just didn't get to this year,
like for instance, Ricky Stinicky That's Real or Kevin Spacey's
glorious return in Peter five eight. Okay, no, or my
(16:35):
old ass, which is also real. It may be good,
but I just couldn't see myself getting to the ticket
counter and saying one for my old ass please. Maybe
other people felt the same way. Nos Farratu turned out
to be maybe one of my favorite movies of the year.
For starters, I went to the first show possible for
me at twelve thirty five am, right after work, and
of the nine other people sad and sketchy enough to
(16:58):
be in that theater with me at that time, five
of them walked out of the movie. Here's some of
the trailer, but not a lot because it's mostly visual.
But the visuals are cool to see.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
If you come from within us, from beyond.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Coach approaching the castle at night. I'm going to narrate
the trailer.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Coming.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
It is coming.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
France coming to us, a guy fighting the head off
a pigeon, Ozzy Osbourne, No, Who's coming? Like I said,
mostly visual, but the visuals are really well done. But
(17:54):
the movie is not a real crowd pleaser, and I
got to tell you that doesn't really mean anything in
this case. Is like weeding out people on the turb
us from Indiana when you stop at a sushi restaurant
and they're like, we don't lack raw fish, where's the
MF and cracker barrel? Off with you, Jethrow, get what
you like. If I remind you that Raiders of the
Lost Art was an attempt to give the old adventure
movie serials the best treatment possible in a modern film.
(18:16):
It might not be one hundred percent of a correct
comparison with Nose Ferratu and the original German Silent One
from nineteen twenty two, but it's something to keep in
mind because it does flesh out that old movie with
incredible faith to it, attention to detail, a feeling of dread,
an old school sincerity and terror that left me feeling
like if the original director F. W. Murnau had had
(18:37):
the resources to do this one hundred years ago, maybe
it'd look like this. And when this new one made
choices of its own, I liked every one of them.
The main one is to give the vampire count Orlock,
played by Bill Scarsgard a different look than the vampire
in the original, which, by the way, is reproduced pretty
much exactly in the Stephen King Salem's Lot mini series,
which you should put on your list. If you've never
(18:57):
seen that, I know it's streaming. Even if you were
seeing nos Fratu or Salem's Lite, you know the image.
It's an iconic image of Count Orlock, bald pointed ears,
two huge front fangs, wide, looks kind of like Pitbull
the Rapper. You don't get a good look at the
new Orlock for a while, but he's like a recently
dead corpse, and I felt like I could almost smell
him coming off the screen. He's got a mustache like
(19:20):
the Dracula in Bram Stoker's original novel, and No. S
Fratu was a ripoff of that book, by the way,
more or less the same story, different location, differently named characters,
nearly sued out of existence by the Stoker estate, but
Prince of the movie survived, and also Count Orlock in
this new one has a magnificently thick accent. Well, of course,
(19:40):
why wouldn't he an undead guy from Transylvania, Romania whatever,
He's not gonna sound like Christopher Lee in real life,
not that we have living dead people in real life.
But we're gonna keep moving. Since I'm more or less
a heterosexual male, you're not gonna more or less, you're
not gonna hear me talking about a movie's wardrobe very often,
and I don't compliment people in the office on their
(20:02):
shoes either. But if the costume people for this movie
don't get an OSCAR nomination, nothing makes any sense. Just
give it to the people who make the warm up
suits in Squid Game. Also, I kind of want one
of those same for the sets and locations here. It
is a terrific looking movie, and I want to find
out how they did everything they did because it's like
(20:22):
it's like you're back there and you can smell the
rats too. The whole thing's immersive, and it's all under
the director, whose name is Robert Eggers. He's also done
The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman. Your mileage may
vary on each of those, but they're all worth seeing.
I'll admit The Lighthouse irritated me a little, but I
still wouldn't miss it. Eggers is a really distinctive filmmaker
(20:43):
with an absolute obsession for detail, and if you could
buy stock in him, I'd go full Jim Kramer on
you and tell you he's gonna be big. Buy it all,
bet it all. All the actors in this movie. They
sell this florid old school dialogue. Willem Dafoe in particular
looks like he's having a ball as the not Van
Helsing character. Remember it's a ripoff of Dracula. Nicholas Holt,
(21:03):
who is contractually in everything now, really sells the terror
as the not Jonathan Harker character who sent to Orlock
in the first place to have him signed real estate papers.
Even Aaron Taylor Johnson, who is still kind of steaming
from that craven turd that we saw a few weeks ago,
he shows some range I was not aware he had,
as another absolutely not Bram Stoker character who handles the
(21:26):
whole vampire and rat plague situation barely poorly. Us Frau
Tu is not going to be everybody's cup of tea.
Remember those walkouts. I think those made me like it more.
And I've also read quite a number of reports of
people laughing at the dialogue, and that's a risky run
when you play a period thing straight and earnestly. It
took me into the next day to process what I saw,
(21:48):
and then I wanted to see it again. Also, if
you remember the last voyage of the Demeter I was
going to ask about that, yeah, from last year, that
would make a grade warm up or double bill with this.
That is the story of the ship transporting either Dracula
or Oorlock, whose crew keeps shrinking because they're the food.
But still you'd be less likely to get sick from
(22:10):
them than on one of Mo's fancy diarrhea cruise ship effets. Huh,
that's your run of report, Moe.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I was seriously going to ask you about the last
Void to the Demeter, because I know that is from
a chapter in Bram Stoker's Dracula, and I wonder if
there was any overlap, or there were seemingly any not
a tie in, but you could see where they were
had the same affectation or something like that.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Yeah, I mean the story is familiar. We've seen it
over and over and over again, and so they kind
of shorthand the shipping, the ship trip, the ship voyage in.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No Sfaratu.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Sorry had a brain fart there, but the whole you
could watch both of them, and they compliment each other perfectly.
And by the way, that Demeter movie wound up one
of last year's most fun horror movies.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
It was not bad.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I watched it, I don't know, three four months ago
and I was home, I had time. It's like, this
is not bad what I paid for it. No, but
watching it, I was not disappointed. I watched it from
beginning to end.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Yeah, that's what our parents or grandparents would have called
a good little B movie. It was a B movie,
though we don't have B movies anymore, and I guess
people don't really know what that is, but it's It
wasn't like a big, tent pole blockbuster film with massive
stars in it, but it was lots of fun and
well done.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If here's the progression, there were B movies that were
straight to video, direct to video movies. I would think
this would be a perfect for this generation. It was
a it was a Netflix movie, a streaming movie.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I think it's streaming now, so it's well worth your
time catching up on it. If we have a couple
minutes left we do. I want to recommend a movie
called The Prime Evils, which I caught over the holidays,
which is a movie that took decades to finish. People
died before was finished. I caught it streaming on shutter.
You can find it probably in a number of different
(24:05):
streaming places. It's lots of fun. It's like it's kind
of a cheap adventure horror action flick from an outfit
called Full Moon. I kept trying to imagine it as
an old universal picture with a proper monster in it.
It's about an expedition to one of the polls north South.
I forget to find a giant YETI And it's beautiful,
(24:27):
old school stop motion animation, and it's tons and tons
of fun.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Primevals check that one out. Like Rudolph the Red Nose right.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Near with death, I'm sol imn like if Rudolph killed Sherpas.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
On k.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Here's something that
sounds good on its face, but as you read more
about it, I'm not so sure I would want to participate.
When I tell you about National Popcorn Day on January nineteenth,
ton probably say, what, there's a National Popcorn Day? Yes
(25:21):
there is, whoever who wants to celebrate. Cinemark National theater
chain has announced its first ever bring your own bucket
and as a promotion, of course, is connected to National
Popcorn Day on January nineteenth. Here's how it goes. Customers
(25:41):
can bring in a clean container, thank you for that
clean container of their choice, and fill it with fresh
popcorn for just five dollars, no movie ticket necessary. So
let me break it down for you. If you bring
in your container and also pay five dollars, you can
get a whole bunch of movie popcorn. It does not
(26:06):
give you a ticket to a movie. You're paying five
dollars for popcorn, where you could probably play two or
three dollars at the grocery store and get the same
amount of popcorn and watch a movie at home. But
this cinemark is advertising where you bring in your five dollars,
(26:29):
your bucket, hopefully it's clean, and they'll fill it up,
and then you have to drive your ass back home
because you're not gaining entrance to the theater. You're just
getting the popcorn that they're giving away. I get the thinking, well,
you're already at the theater, you already have some piping
(26:52):
hot popcorn. You might as well do it in conjunction
with seeing a movie. I don't know if that would
be encouragement enough for me. For me, you need to
give me something more, because it's not like, hey, on
this day, buy a movie ticket. In other words, you're
actually going to get something, and we'll give you the
free popcorn. Now they're saying, pay for the popcorn and
(27:15):
that's all you get.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Aren't you excited to see the kind of things people
bring in? Oh yeah, they're probably bringing in like trash cans.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Trash cans, bedpens, just anything lying around, anything.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Anything, But but you still got to pay. It's not
like it's free. How much is popcorn usually? I haven't
bought popcorn at a movie.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
At a movie theater.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Oh, it could be anywhere from seven to ten dollars.
I'm for like a normal I don't get popcorn all
that often. But nothing's cheap at a movie theater, so
it's it's pricey.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Okay, see I poosh, you got some last time we
all went together, didn't you. Yeah, it most right. It
could be like ten to twelve dollars, depending on the
sides that you get. Well, that's how they make their
money in the concession. Yes, yeah, and I get the strategy.
They want you in the venue.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
If you're in the venue, albeit just to get popcorn,
you're probably going to see a movie.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
It just doesn't move me because if you.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Said, hey, free popcorn and diskind of movie tickets, well
maybe okay, you might have something there.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Well, I think the movie theater chains know that you,
Moe Kelly, are the Mikey of life, cereal of movie popcorn.
So they're doing all sorts of things to induce you
to buy it, like the vessels that they've been coming
up with lately, like they're really disturbing. One for Dune
or the Alien Head. That stuff's fun. I want that stuff.
You forgot Deadpool and Wolverine. I didn't get one of
(28:36):
those either. I want that Tooook.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That one was very suggestive, I mean very It was
an open mouth.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
It was wide open. What did it suggest exactly, mo.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It was suggesting that something was going to go in
the mouth other than popcorn. Interesting, they're pictures of it
all over the internet. It's very clear what they're hinting at.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Yeah, but usually I don't get movie style popcorn unless
it's free. But if I have to pay for it,
what's the point. It doesn't have the same type of
ring to It doesn't have the same appeal.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
This is weird because Everybody loves movie popcorn, everybody except
for you.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
But it's no it has to start with the movie.
That's my point. I'm going to the movies and also
get some popcorn. I'm not going to the movies to
get some popcorn and no movie.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Do you understand me? You just can't be pleased, is
what I understand.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
I'm complicated like that, bending over backward to accommodate you,
and you're not having any of it.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
There was a joke there, but I'm just gonna let
it pass by backward, not forward. That thank you.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
In different k f I M k ost E HD two,
Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Lives everywhere on the radio,
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Friday Nights with Me, not a Caa de la
Cruz on Later with mo Kelly. First and foremost, I
must say mo Kelly, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Felice,
Anna Nuevo Police Anuevo.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
There you go. I'm glad you didn't say Happy New
Years because that that's annoying me.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That as an.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, Well, it is a new year, and it
is that time to just get out and explore and
so for discover. So cal I went to the Marciano
Art Foundation. You've worn I'm sure you've worn guest jeans, right.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Not since nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles is housed
in a former Masonic temple built in nineteen sixty one.
This historic building was transformed into an art space by
the Marciano brothers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
So if you wore those guest jeans.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Maurice and Paul are both the co founders of the
brand Guests, who envisioned this contemporary art collection to the public.
Opened in twenty seventeen, I believe the foundation quickly became
a cultural hub hosting a variety of innovative exhibitions, and
currently they have this exhibition. This exhibit, I should say,
(01:19):
it's the Lighthouse exhibit by Doug Aitken, and it is
absolutely mesmerizing.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
It is beautiful. It is filled with.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Lights, and it has sound, and it has space, and
it just has this immersive installation. It has led panels
and a projection to create an environment that feels both
futuristic and deeply meditative. Now, as you walk through the exhibit,
I do suggest that you pay attention to absolutely everything,
(01:49):
just you know, kind of inhale the beauty of it
and inhale the art.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You're surrounded by shifting patterns.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of light that reflect off walls and services, creating a
you know, a kaleidoscope, you know what that is, right,
absolutely so, it's kind of a kaleidoscope effect. The soundscapes
accompanying the visuals enhance the experience, pulling visitors into a
multi sensory ex exploration of perception and time. One of
the most strike striking installations in the exhibit is a
(02:16):
corridor of mirrored walls illuminated by vibrant, ever changing light sequences.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
When I say, do not miss on anything, do not.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It is a little I want to say, the effect
is a little kind of hypnotic, making visitors feel as
though they are walking through.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
This kind of infinite space.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Atkin's ability to merge art and technology is on the
full display there, and it's amazing. Another highlight is a
central room featuring a large scale projection of abstract imagery.
The visuals, paired with a rhythmic audio backdrop kind of
just kind of feels it. It's like an odd to
(02:57):
beauty and it just like modern life. At the same time,
visitors often find themselves lingering, captivated by the ever evolving
patterns and immersive atmosphere. Now, the Marciano Art Foundation's permanent
collection features works by artists that I've never heard from,
But I did get to see Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, and.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Takahishi Mura Kami.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I hope I got that right, showcasing bold and provocative themes.
Also housing a repurpose Masonic temple, the space retains original
elements like its grand auditorium and murals, and you could
find a lot of history up there on the second floor.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Tickets for the LightScape Doug.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Aitken exhibit can be reserved at the Marciano Art Foundation website.
It is absolutely free, free ninety nine. Now I do
have to say that the lat Yes, how much?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Was it again?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Free ninety nine?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Just want to make sure I heard that directly. Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Now, the exhibit is open only Thursdays through Sunday, so
it's eleven am to five pm.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So if you Sunday's the only day.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I know some people like to go out on Fridays,
I mean on Mondays or Tuesdays if.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
They have the day off.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But it's only open Thursday through Sunday, eleven am to
five pm, offering an ample opportunity to experience it's brilliance.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Like I said, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Free, and I want to say that this isn't your
typical museum, MO. It is very futuristic, it's modern, it's bold,
it's different. You just have to go and check it
out and see it for yourself, because I have been
to a lot of museums here in Los Angeles that
I've explored and discovered so cal and I haven't seen one.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Quite like it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And if you know the little history of Maurice and
Paul Marciano, you know the co founders of guests you
could see in their clothing how they were always kind
of different.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
In the nineties they were very popular.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
If you had a pair of guest Janes, I remember,
you were like, oh, you've got money, you know, one.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh, it was a status it was.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It really was a status symbol because jeans were like,
I mean, you know, they were like fifty to fifty
five dollars and battles a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Wait there, it was a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
My mother said, no, you cannot have all those name
brand jeans like your beau and guests and what have you.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No, no, my.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Mother said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But you know, it was that emblem, emblem in the
back of the gene that was that upside down triangle,
and if you saw somebody wearing those, you were.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Like, oh, they they're they're hip.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, the in crowd.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I do want to say that the exhibit is only
here till March fifteenth, twenty twenty five, and if you'd
like to get tickets, you'd like to get some more
information or look at the art, you could go to
Marciano Artfoundation dot org. The address is forty three fifty
seven Wilship Boulevard in Los Angeles and just just take
(05:53):
it all in.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's like I said, it's the new year, get out.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
There, see new places, and you know, that's what it
what it's all about. We were trying to discover every
little corner of southern California.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You have actually interested me and to go see a
little more of southern California. This again, is something else
that I had no idea, which was right here under
our noses.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, so it's on the corner of Wiltshire and I
believe six. So you know the building because it was
a former Masonic temple. So when you look at the building,
you're like, oh, okay, I've seen this building trillions of
times when I'm driving on Wilshire.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But it's not that anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's actually an art museum and the brothers decided to,
you know, put their collection in there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
So it's very intricate, it's bold, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's one of those that when you leave you'll definitely
have a good conversation about the art pieces that you
that you saw, So I suggest you definitely go check
it out.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
When we come back.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
We'll have the Hidden Gym for this week from Nautica
Daily Cruiz his Friday Nights with Nataka on Later with
Mo Kelly caf AM forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's Friday Nights.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
But Natica de La, Who's on Later with Moe Kelly
and Today's hit and jem is Taylor Ginnins. Taylor Ginnons
was a referral from Angela Juads, thank you so very
much for reaching out tours to me. Taylor Ginnins grew
up in Michigan, a place where winter's bite hard and
snow seams endless.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We're so very thankful we don't live there.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
From a young age, he dreamed of escaping of the cold,
making a mark as an actor. When he turned twenty three,
Taylor packed his bags and headed right here to Los Angeles,
chasing that dream of Hollywood to become an actor and
you know, the promises of warm days and bright lights
and sunshine. At first, life in La felt like a
(07:51):
new beginning, but the city's glamour masked its challenges. Taylor's
dream began to crumble when he fell down. When he
fell in the wrong crowd. Acting gids never materialized, and
he found himself drifting from odd jobs to another. Over time,
bad habits took hold, and he eventually lost his footing entirely,
(08:13):
ending up homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. One
pivotal night, Taylor fell asleep on the steps of a church.
The next morning, the church's groundkeeper gave him a few
dollars and suggested he try a nearby shelter. With winter approaching,
even a mild one right here by LA standards not
too bad, but you know, Michigan is absolutely different.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He decided to go.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He made his way to the Los Angeles Mission, a
haven for those seeking a second chance, and the Mission
he encountered compassionate staff who listened without judgment and offered
a plan for recovery. Through their rehabilitation programs, he began
to rebuild his life step by step. It wasn't an
easy journey. Setbacks came out often, but so did small victories. Slowly,
(09:04):
Taylor learned to trust himself again, Though his dream of
acting never came to fruition. He found steady work as
a maintenance man at the VA Hospital and eventually secured
his own apartment The Los Angeles Mission isn't just a shelter,
it's a lifeline for people like Taylor. The foundation provides
not only meals in a safe place to sleep, but
(09:26):
also counseling, job training, and addiction recovery programs. Their more
natural approach addresses the root causes of homelessness.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Helping individuals regain independence and dignity. The Mission's success stories
are countless, and they stand as proof that with the
right support, transformation is possible. What makes a mission even
more impactful is its focus on community. Volunteers play a
vital role in running programs and offering mentorship. Donors ensure
(09:59):
that hot meals and clean beds are also available. For Taylor,
the Mission wasn't just a place to stay. It was
where he rediscovered his purpose. He now gives back by
volunteering and donating, paying forward to help ones to help
the ones that are needed. Taylor's story is a testament
to resilience and the power of second chances, and thanks
(10:22):
to the Los Angeles Mission, he turned his life around
and found stability. Today, Taylor is a beacon of hope
for others.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Proving that even when dreams take an unexpected turn, a
new path can lead to something equally meaningful.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
If you'd like to be involved. If you'd like to
be involved, or you like to get involved, or you'd like.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To donate, please log onto Los Angelesmission dot org. That's
Los Angelesmission dot org. And I cannot believe me that
I have donated and volunteered my time there and I
have fed during the Thanksgiving season and I never met
mentioned this organization, and I'm a little of embarrassed, but
(11:04):
I was like, it's in my own backyard, and I
had to mention it today and I'm so glad that
Angela what is emailed me and kind of sparked that
idea once again.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Well also sparking ideas. It's a new year.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yes, it might be that time where you may go
through your closet and clean out some items that may
be of use to someone else who is in more
need of them.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yes, you know it is that time that you know
the shelters need warm blankets and coats. You know, we
have fifty colts, we really only need three. You know,
those sweaters that maybe have a little little small little hole,
and you you know, so you're like, I don't want
to give it up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But I want to give it up.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Well, they're just a little too small for you.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, they're a little sh medium. Yes, it is time
to give them away. And you know, the Mission could
definitely use those donations as well. And also there is
a list on the website Los angelesmission dot org.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You know, if you have time, if you have a little.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Few extra dollars, soap, toothpaste, you know, Q tips, washrags, socks.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh it is winter, we are in need of socks.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So anything that you could spend a dollar on or
donate from your own closet, as long as it's clean,
of course, would be substantial and absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Going back to Taylor's story, I'm always amazed, and I'm
always find myself admiring someone who is bold enough and
daring enough to put all their stuff in the car
or whatever, pack up and move to the other side
of the country, chasing a dream where they may not
have a full blueprint of how to get there, but
they believe in themselves enough to at least try. Because honestly,
(12:47):
if I didn't live in Los Angeles, I don't think
I would have ended up in Los Angeles doing this,
because I don't think I was that person, and it
takes a brave person. I know, I'm as someone who
went from one coast to the other. What goes to
your mind? What possesses you to go where you don't
know anyone, You don't have the place to live, you
(13:09):
don't have that solid foundation to try.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You know, for some people, I think, and I'm just
speaking in general, I think it's one, you know, we
pay for the sunshine here and the palm trees, right,
But I also think it's you know, that quick money.
I want to be famous, I want to go out,
and then a lot of these actors come or you know,
it's it's a dream that they have and then the
next thing, you know, yes they may get some gigs,
(13:36):
or they may be you know, bussing or you know,
being a waiter, or it's really just kind of finding
of who you are. And some people make it, some
people don't. But I think we all have a dream regardless,
and sometimes we may stump on some rocks in the road.
But I love the tailor knew that he needed the help,
(13:58):
he got the help. He lives into the groundskeeper, and
he made a life for himself. Might have not been
the actor that he wanted, but just working at the
VA hospital, he could help other people too.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I always say do what you can, yes, what you
have right where you are, Yes, sir, absolutely not a
co Dela Cruz. How was your very quickly? How was
your your Christmas?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
In New Year's My Christmas was wonderful. I went to
the Bay Area, spent some time with my parents and
my family, and oh, I was so happy because I think,
you know, God really heard my prayers.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
They didn't get on my nerves.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And sometimes that's enough.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Yes, I just want a holiday in which I didn't
have to cuss everybody out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And for New Year's Eve, I had a front row
seat VP in my living room.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh did you at least make it to midnight?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I did. I made it till twelve fifteen.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And then you're out like, yeah, well actually no, because
I'm not going to say where I live. But there was,
and I say this angrily, there was fireworks till about
two o'clock.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
It should be accustomed to that by now. There are
fireworks in our neighborhood. I know Steph could have attest
to this. There are fireworks for a football game.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
They're fireworks.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
They are fireworks all year round for everything, including New
Year's Eves. Man, they had fireworks today and I'm telling,
what are you celebrating?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But it was fun. I don't I do not believe
in New Year's resolutions. I just be and being. I
just believe in being a better human being.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Well, thank you for going on this journey with us,
Thank you for thank you sharing another hidden gamen.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
We'll see you soon.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh yes, and I wanted to say thank you and
twala so very much for I just made a year
here today.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
So I'm very excited.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
We're going to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty talks about.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's pop culture, ron and Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
It's Later with mo Kelly on kf I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeart App. I'm Mark Ronner.
It's the Runner Report. We haven't talked about No s
Faratu yet and it's worth catching up with. Unlike a
lot of major movies we just didn't get to this year,
like for instance, Ricky Stinicky That's Real or Kevin Spacey's
glorious return in Peter five eight. Okay, no, or my
(16:35):
old ass, which is also real. It may be good,
but I just couldn't see myself getting to the ticket
counter and saying one for my old ass please. Maybe
other people felt the same way. Nos Farratu turned out
to be maybe one of my favorite movies of the year.
For starters, I went to the first show possible for
me at twelve thirty five am, right after work, and
of the nine other people sad and sketchy enough to
(16:58):
be in that theater with me at that time, five
of them walked out of the movie. Here's some of
the trailer, but not a lot because it's mostly visual.
But the visuals are cool to see.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
If you come from within us, from beyond.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Coach approaching the castle at night. I'm going to narrate
the trailer.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Coming.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
It is coming.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
France coming to us, a guy fighting the head off
a pigeon, Ozzy Osbourne, No, Who's coming? Like I said,
mostly visual, but the visuals are really well done. But
(17:54):
the movie is not a real crowd pleaser, and I
got to tell you that doesn't really mean anything in
this case. Is like weeding out people on the turb
us from Indiana when you stop at a sushi restaurant
and they're like, we don't lack raw fish, where's the
MF and cracker barrel? Off with you, Jethrow, get what
you like. If I remind you that Raiders of the
Lost Art was an attempt to give the old adventure
movie serials the best treatment possible in a modern film.
(18:16):
It might not be one hundred percent of a correct
comparison with Nose Ferratu and the original German Silent One
from nineteen twenty two, but it's something to keep in
mind because it does flesh out that old movie with
incredible faith to it, attention to detail, a feeling of dread,
an old school sincerity and terror that left me feeling
like if the original director F. W. Murnau had had
(18:37):
the resources to do this one hundred years ago, maybe
it'd look like this. And when this new one made
choices of its own, I liked every one of them.
The main one is to give the vampire count Orlock,
played by Bill Scarsgard a different look than the vampire
in the original, which, by the way, is reproduced pretty
much exactly in the Stephen King Salem's Lot mini series,
which you should put on your list. If you've never
(18:57):
seen that, I know it's streaming. Even if you were
seeing nos Fratu or Salem's Lite, you know the image.
It's an iconic image of Count Orlock, bald pointed ears,
two huge front fangs, wide, looks kind of like Pitbull
the Rapper. You don't get a good look at the
new Orlock for a while, but he's like a recently
dead corpse, and I felt like I could almost smell
him coming off the screen. He's got a mustache like
(19:20):
the Dracula in Bram Stoker's original novel, and No. S
Fratu was a ripoff of that book, by the way,
more or less the same story, different location, differently named characters,
nearly sued out of existence by the Stoker estate, but
Prince of the movie survived, and also Count Orlock in
this new one has a magnificently thick accent. Well, of course,
(19:40):
why wouldn't he an undead guy from Transylvania, Romania whatever,
He's not gonna sound like Christopher Lee in real life,
not that we have living dead people in real life.
But we're gonna keep moving. Since I'm more or less
a heterosexual male, you're not gonna more or less, you're
not gonna hear me talking about a movie's wardrobe very often,
and I don't compliment people in the office on their
(20:02):
shoes either. But if the costume people for this movie
don't get an OSCAR nomination, nothing makes any sense. Just
give it to the people who make the warm up
suits in Squid Game. Also, I kind of want one
of those same for the sets and locations here. It
is a terrific looking movie, and I want to find
out how they did everything they did because it's like
(20:22):
it's like you're back there and you can smell the
rats too. The whole thing's immersive, and it's all under
the director, whose name is Robert Eggers. He's also done
The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman. Your mileage may
vary on each of those, but they're all worth seeing.
I'll admit The Lighthouse irritated me a little, but I
still wouldn't miss it. Eggers is a really distinctive filmmaker
(20:43):
with an absolute obsession for detail, and if you could
buy stock in him, I'd go full Jim Kramer on
you and tell you he's gonna be big. Buy it all,
bet it all. All the actors in this movie. They
sell this florid old school dialogue. Willem Dafoe in particular
looks like he's having a ball as the not Van
Helsing character. Remember it's a ripoff of Dracula. Nicholas Holt,
(21:03):
who is contractually in everything now, really sells the terror
as the not Jonathan Harker character who sent to Orlock
in the first place to have him signed real estate papers.
Even Aaron Taylor Johnson, who is still kind of steaming
from that craven turd that we saw a few weeks ago,
he shows some range I was not aware he had,
as another absolutely not Bram Stoker character who handles the
(21:26):
whole vampire and rat plague situation barely poorly. Us Frau
Tu is not going to be everybody's cup of tea.
Remember those walkouts. I think those made me like it more.
And I've also read quite a number of reports of
people laughing at the dialogue, and that's a risky run
when you play a period thing straight and earnestly. It
took me into the next day to process what I saw,
(21:48):
and then I wanted to see it again. Also, if
you remember the last voyage of the Demeter I was
going to ask about that, yeah, from last year, that
would make a grade warm up or double bill with this.
That is the story of the ship transporting either Dracula
or Oorlock, whose crew keeps shrinking because they're the food.
But still you'd be less likely to get sick from
(22:10):
them than on one of Mo's fancy diarrhea cruise ship effets. Huh,
that's your run of report, Moe.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I was seriously going to ask you about the last
Void to the Demeter, because I know that is from
a chapter in Bram Stoker's Dracula, and I wonder if
there was any overlap, or there were seemingly any not
a tie in, but you could see where they were
had the same affectation or something like that.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Yeah, I mean the story is familiar. We've seen it
over and over and over again, and so they kind
of shorthand the shipping, the ship trip, the ship voyage in.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
No Sfaratu.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Sorry had a brain fart there, but the whole you
could watch both of them, and they compliment each other perfectly.
And by the way, that Demeter movie wound up one
of last year's most fun horror movies.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
It was not bad.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I watched it, I don't know, three four months ago
and I was home, I had time. It's like, this
is not bad what I paid for it. No, but
watching it, I was not disappointed. I watched it from
beginning to end.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Yeah, that's what our parents or grandparents would have called
a good little B movie. It was a B movie,
though we don't have B movies anymore, and I guess
people don't really know what that is, but it's It
wasn't like a big, tent pole blockbuster film with massive
stars in it, but it was lots of fun and
well done.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If here's the progression, there were B movies that were
straight to video, direct to video movies. I would think
this would be a perfect for this generation. It was
a it was a Netflix movie, a streaming movie.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I think it's streaming now, so it's well worth your
time catching up on it. If we have a couple
minutes left we do. I want to recommend a movie
called The Prime Evils, which I caught over the holidays,
which is a movie that took decades to finish. People
died before was finished. I caught it streaming on shutter.
You can find it probably in a number of different
(24:05):
streaming places. It's lots of fun. It's like it's kind
of a cheap adventure horror action flick from an outfit
called Full Moon. I kept trying to imagine it as
an old universal picture with a proper monster in it.
It's about an expedition to one of the polls north South.
I forget to find a giant YETI And it's beautiful,
(24:27):
old school stop motion animation, and it's tons and tons
of fun.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Primevals check that one out. Like Rudolph the Red Nose right.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Near with death, I'm sol imn like if Rudolph killed Sherpas.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
On k.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Here's something that
sounds good on its face, but as you read more
about it, I'm not so sure I would want to participate.
When I tell you about National Popcorn Day on January nineteenth,
ton probably say, what, there's a National Popcorn Day? Yes
(25:21):
there is, whoever who wants to celebrate. Cinemark National theater
chain has announced its first ever bring your own bucket
and as a promotion, of course, is connected to National
Popcorn Day on January nineteenth. Here's how it goes. Customers
(25:41):
can bring in a clean container, thank you for that
clean container of their choice, and fill it with fresh
popcorn for just five dollars, no movie ticket necessary. So
let me break it down for you. If you bring
in your container and also pay five dollars, you can
get a whole bunch of movie popcorn. It does not
(26:06):
give you a ticket to a movie. You're paying five
dollars for popcorn, where you could probably play two or
three dollars at the grocery store and get the same
amount of popcorn and watch a movie at home. But
this cinemark is advertising where you bring in your five dollars,
(26:29):
your bucket, hopefully it's clean, and they'll fill it up,
and then you have to drive your ass back home
because you're not gaining entrance to the theater. You're just
getting the popcorn that they're giving away. I get the thinking, well,
you're already at the theater, you already have some piping
(26:52):
hot popcorn. You might as well do it in conjunction
with seeing a movie. I don't know if that would
be encouragement enough for me. For me, you need to
give me something more, because it's not like, hey, on
this day, buy a movie ticket. In other words, you're
actually going to get something, and we'll give you the
free popcorn. Now they're saying, pay for the popcorn and
(27:15):
that's all you get.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Aren't you excited to see the kind of things people
bring in? Oh yeah, they're probably bringing in like trash cans.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Trash cans, bedpens, just anything lying around, anything.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Anything, But but you still got to pay. It's not
like it's free. How much is popcorn usually? I haven't
bought popcorn at a movie.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
At a movie theater.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Oh, it could be anywhere from seven to ten dollars.
I'm for like a normal I don't get popcorn all
that often. But nothing's cheap at a movie theater, so
it's it's pricey.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Okay, see I poosh, you got some last time we
all went together, didn't you. Yeah, it most right. It
could be like ten to twelve dollars, depending on the
sides that you get. Well, that's how they make their
money in the concession. Yes, yeah, and I get the strategy.
They want you in the venue.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
If you're in the venue, albeit just to get popcorn,
you're probably going to see a movie.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
It just doesn't move me because if you.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Said, hey, free popcorn and diskind of movie tickets, well
maybe okay, you might have something there.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Well, I think the movie theater chains know that you,
Moe Kelly, are the Mikey of life, cereal of movie popcorn.
So they're doing all sorts of things to induce you
to buy it, like the vessels that they've been coming
up with lately, like they're really disturbing. One for Dune
or the Alien Head. That stuff's fun. I want that stuff.
You forgot Deadpool and Wolverine. I didn't get one of
(28:36):
those either. I want that Tooook.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That one was very suggestive, I mean very It was
an open mouth.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
It was wide open. What did it suggest exactly, mo.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It was suggesting that something was going to go in
the mouth other than popcorn. Interesting, they're pictures of it
all over the internet. It's very clear what they're hinting at.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Yeah, but usually I don't get movie style popcorn unless
it's free. But if I have to pay for it,
what's the point. It doesn't have the same type of
ring to It doesn't have the same appeal.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
This is weird because Everybody loves movie popcorn, everybody except
for you.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
But it's no it has to start with the movie.
That's my point. I'm going to the movies and also
get some popcorn. I'm not going to the movies to
get some popcorn and no movie.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Do you understand me? You just can't be pleased, is
what I understand.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
I'm complicated like that, bending over backward to accommodate you,
and you're not having any of it.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
There was a joke there, but I'm just gonna let
it pass by backward, not forward. That thank you.
