Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty ok.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's some of the best of Later with Moke Kelly.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We talk
about movies we like, we talk about movies we don't like,
we talk about sequels.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now we're gonna put it all together.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
This is a list from the Verge of the fifteen
worst movie sequels ever. And I don't disagree with any
title on this list. They're not ranked, and there are
probably other titles we could add to it, but the
fifteen they submitted I don't have any problem with, and
(00:41):
that's rare. Usually I disagree with a lot that these
film critics have to say. Again, in no particular order,
the fifteen worst movie Sequels Ever, Mark Roner, I definitely
want your input, as you see fit.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Let's have it. The first one.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Listed, Speed two Cruise Control. You know, I've never seen that,
and I kind of want to, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, the thing is that, yeah, when a movie that's
a code brown like that first comes out, of course
you want to avoid it. But with the passing of
time you can kind of relax a little bit and
have fun with a stinker like that, to make sure
Chris's Mike is on He's still with us.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's really bad. Speed too is awful. It is. Oh,
it is abysmal.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, words failed me, as they said next on the list,
And I don't disagree with this, but I have a
more of a softer place of my heart for this sequel.
Conan the Destroyer sequel to Codan the Barbarian. If you
don't remember, Code and the Destroyer had Andre the Giant
and Wilt Chamberlain. And didn't that have Grace Jones in
(01:48):
it too. I'm sure it did. I just don't want
to remember all those aspects of it. I don't remember
it as well as the original because the original was
just a stone cold masterpiece. Yes, but I don't remember
hating it. Way back when it came out. I didn't
hate it, but I still thought it was silly when
they had Wil Chamberlain and Andre the Giant is like, okay,
(02:08):
it did have a real WWF vibe to it, more
so than a Conan vibe. I don't know why it's
so hard to get Conan right. Jason Momoa was in
one that I didn't hate, but everybody dumped on too.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Here's one that I absolutely agree with.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
And you can only appreciate how bad a movie is
this if if you've seen the movie which preceded it.
Do you remember Pitch Black? Yeah, the Vin Diesel movie.
Vin Diesel kind of put him on the map for
the most part. Yes, I thought that was a great
sci fi movie. It was the sequel the Chronicles of
(02:44):
Ritick not so much. Yeah, way too much urban you know,
the the under verse and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It was a sequel to that. Yeah. Oh wow, Yeah,
I don't know that. I knew that.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yes, yes, that's actually how they tried to build out
the Riddick universe.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
The original was kind of a little scrappy sci fi
horror action movie. Yep. And they threw so much money. Yeah,
threw so much and way too much. There was talent
in the movie, Tandy Newton and some others. It just
was a bad movie, really bad movie. And they're still
they're supposed to have like a fourth Ritick movie coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I don't really. Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes, here's one which may be controversial for some because
some people find this series iconic and there's a lot
of nostalgia connected to it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Rambo First Blood Part two.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I think they're all kind of an acquired taste after
the very first one. But you see, that's what I'm saying,
a lot of people give First Blood Part two a
little more grace, and I'm not sure why that is,
because I thought First Blood Part two was a caricature
of the first movie. Yeah, the first one was a
legit good film, and then so after that, Stallone became
(03:57):
just an insane superstar and then nobody was saying no
to The second one was just like an overblown cartoonish cartoon.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It was cartoon.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He turned into a superhero at that point, exactly. Aliens
Versus Predator Requiem trash.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It was trash. Aliens Versus Predator was trash.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Alien Versus Predator Requiem was trash, dumpster fire. The Predator
was trash. You could have chosen any one of them. Now,
Predators with Adrian Brody, I like that one.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Not bad. Yeah, but you're great. You didn't like the
original Predator.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No, No, I love the original pre I'm talking about
any of the subsequent the Predator, which which had that's
the one with boy boyd Holbrook, right, yes, yes, yes,
and uh Olivia Munn and some other random people.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was pretty.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Stupid, but I got to admit that I found it
entertaining at the time that I watched. They tried to
be too funny, and I don't want my Predator movies funny.
I wanted to be more like a Alien where there's
a lot of serious stuff happening. People are dying and
treated as such, but everyone had to say some funny
(05:06):
line before they died.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's like, no.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
As in maybe an homage back to Arnold Schwarzenegger and
the original Predator, but that, Yeah, that was unintentional humor. Also,
I don't know if Boyd Holbrook can open a movie.
Well that was his chance. Yeah, I like him as
an actor. I think the first of I saw him
was in the original Narcos, that's correct, Yeah, and I
liked him in that. And I think Patron Pascal the
(05:33):
first of I saw him was in Narcos. Great actors.
I don't know if they can headline movies by themselves.
They just haven't had their ight vehicle yet. I guess
with him, he's He's been good in some stuff though, Yeah,
Freddy's dead the Final Nightmare.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't think any of the movies were good. I'm
not a fan of those either. Yeah, I don't know.
So you could have chosen any of them.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You could have Freddy Versus Jason, Freddy, Freddy Matan, Freddy
go Outer Space whatever. That one was, sure, you know,
any of them was Jason Goes down to Space. That
was the tenth one whatever. And you're gonna think I'm nuts,
But that one's actually kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Jason.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I saw that one in theaters. I remember it's trash,
but it's fun, Okay, Rash Beverly Hills Cop three.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We all agree, Yeah, that was bad. Is that the
one with the Bridget Nielsen Or is that two? No?
Three is the amusement Park? Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
All right, yep uh that was Magic Mountain, Yes it was, yeah, okay, yeah,
really bad.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Book of Shadows, Blair Witch two. I didn't think. I
don't like the first one, but I don't even know.
The second one was all that's real bad stuff. Let's
stop right there.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
We have some more of the fifteen worst movie sequels.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ever, I don't disagree with any of them.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Usually I thought, like, you can't have that on this list.
It's a masterpiece. Not at all these are all trash
movies very much so. You're listening to some of the
best of Later with Moe Kelly. If I am we
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:09):

Mister Molkelly live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on
YouTube at mister m kelly.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Be sure to subscribe. You can get into the chat.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They are debating as we are the fifteen worst movie
sequels ever, and from the chat these are some of
their i'll say, honorable mentions. Superman five, the Quest for Peace.
That was the one with Richard Pryor. That was that
was that was god awful, super Bad Superman super Bad.
I can't believe they did that to Christopher Reef. Yeah,
(07:57):
the Star Wars trilogy seven movie, seven, eight nine, those
were those are awful, unwatchable, awful. The Karate they said
Karate Kid three. No, that was with the bad Boy
Mike Barnes. That was not bad at all, cheesy, but
it was a good villain. I think they mean The
Next Karate Kid, yes, which had Hillary Swank absolutely. Now
(08:18):
I could say The Karate Kid with Jayden Smith was
not a favorite of mine at all.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
No, no, but better than that.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, but I don't even really call that a sequel
because it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It did not connect to the to the Pat Merita.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Universe until now they're trying to connect with this The
Next Karate Kid, which is still weird using kung fu.
All the Jaws movies sequels, yes, yes, all of them
were bad.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yes, I gotta tell you, don't you do it?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's trash, but the Michael Caine one is fun trash.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Which one is that? Is that the Revenge? I believe?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So yeah, no, no, that's the third one, third one Okay,
I saw that. That was the three D one. Okay,
it's the fourth one. Okay, the wife is the star.
That's revenge, Yes, yes, revenge where there's like the Shark
has some sort of vendetta and it's like the grandson
Shark or something coming after the Roy Scheider family can't
remember his name. Yeah, let's just be clear. These aren't
(09:16):
anything you could ever legitimately call good. But there are
things you can have fun with if you're in the
right mood for it. None of the Jurassic Parks sequels,
excuse me, none of the Jurassic World sequels good. I
like some of the Jurassic Park sequels. I was disappointed
with Jurassic World in general. Yeah, they're just too stupid.
(09:36):
I dumped those after what the first one. I was like,
how many times can dinosaurs get loose, eat everyone and
the company engine stay in business? Real slow learning curve there.
But now we have Elon Musk, so maybe it's not
so unrealistic. Even with Jurassic World, the dinosaurs get free spoiler,
they eat people.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And they're still in business. Exactly. The damn animals were
running around San Diego, still in business. There were no
congressional hearing, not a one one. Yeah, regulation is really
the crux of all those movies.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Anyhow, let's get back to the official list by the
Verge of the fifteen worst movie sequels.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Ever, it may not.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Be the fifteen definitive fifteen, but I can't disagree with
anything on this list. Highlander End Game, Highlander to the
Quickening was pretty bad as well, and Highlander of the
Original I just rewatched that the other night.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
It's not great, but so it's cheesy, super campy. Yes,
and Sean Connery maybe plays the worst Spaniard in the Remember.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Says, I'm a Gyp shirt with a Scottish accent. I'm
a Gyp shart. Yeah, I'm Sean Connery. And it's like,
are they are they going for the joke here?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Say Sean Connery has this supposed Spanish get up.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He's from Spain. In other words, the care just from Spain.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And then he corrects Christopher Lambert and says, I'm actually
Egyptian because I guess he's an immortal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's been all over the place. You know. It was
just really bad. It was really bad. And Clancy Brown
I forgot.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's where, Yes, that's where he, I guess, came to prominence.
And I just couldn't take him seriously in that role.
I can't defend any of that. But I'm in a
Highlander fan film, so I think I need to withhold
the comment seriously. Okay, if I said boom chicken boom, boom,
chicken boom chick chicken boom. The Mask, the Mask, oh, yes,
(11:37):
the sequel, The Son of the Mask, which a lot
of people forget Jamie Kennedy. I remember it and I
remember being god awful.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And they did it like twenty years later. I don't know,
but it wasn't with Jim Carrey and he was smart
enough to avoid it. Yeah, and this next one, I
know Mark Ronner would be able to appreciate. And I
think you too as well. Chris Exorcist to the Heretic. Okay,
I listen. There's a lot to say about that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Friedkin. William Friedkin directed the first one.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
John Borman did the second one, and every single person
involved with the first one disowned it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But what do me but?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But it's worth seeing because it's just wild, it's insane.
It's got some really impressive visual stuff in it. And
I'm not even gonna call it trash. It's just a
weird left turn that nobody involved in the original endorsed.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But you can't completely write it off. I guess you can.
Have you seen Have you actually seen it? Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I have.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
In fact, I think there are some some Georgetown. I
think that Patrick Ewing was in it. Patrick Ewing Burton
was in it, And yes, I don't I can't prove
that he was drunk through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But it was Richard Burton.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
We can make some assumptions, but listen, drunk or sober,
I'd watch him read the ingredients on a toothpaste too.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But it's a lot of fun with just watching him
work and he's good in that.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, well we should be able to agree upon this
next one, The Crow City of Angels.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh no, no, no, right, yeah, so on so many levels.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So many and I think it was not gonna be
received because obviously it was after.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Brandon Lee's death. People were willing to say, just leave
it alone. Yep, leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You you can't it was It would have been like
doing another Batman movie with a different Joker after Heath
Ledger passed.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Just let that character have its own space with that actor.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like they haven't even recast Black Panther, you know, because
of you just can't do it, not at the moment,
for sure. And we got two more Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
I didn't care about the first one.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The first one compared with the cinematic right, yeah, that
is Mortal Kombat. That was one of my wife and
I's first dates was.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Mortal and look at you all now, right, Wow, twenty
six years. That's a fun movie.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
That's about the only good thing that came about. I
mean it was fine for what it was, the original
at the time. Yeah, but it's not like anything. I
had to say it one, the original President. How do
you differentiate between any of those? I have no recollection
specifically of that one, even though I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That you should watch the Criterion collection.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, it's almost like the Jean Claude Van Damn movies.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
They're all pretty much the same. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, you know, blood Sport, Lion, Heard Lion, they're all
the same.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, they're all the same.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Trail of the Pink Panther.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh, that's the one they put together after Peter Sellers died.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Here we are again. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You know, like Chadwick Boseman after the Titlar character after dies,
you you have to leave it alone. You have to
leave it alone.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
What about the what about the James Bond film, the
James Bond that he did one one movie, George Lazenby.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, that's a great one. That is an absolutely phenomenal
good Okay, I've never I've never actually watched it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, he walked away from doing James Bond didn't he
he did because it was the late sixties and he
had kind of a guru influencing him who told him
that was out of style, not cool, you don't want
to be the man. But on her Majesty's Secret Service
is really one of the finest James Bond movies of
all of them, easily top five. I was not a
fan of Peter Seller's and the Peak Panther series. That's
(15:13):
just maybe me. Have you seen a Shot in the Dark.
If I have, I don't remember it. You need to
just Daddy Schnell, Mark Schnell.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And last one Cocoon the Return.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Oh yeah, the first one was great, the second one, no,
I haven't seen that. Look, I could put some Police
Academy movies on here as well. There are a lot
of bad sequels. Hell, I could put a Godfather three
on here. There are a lot of bad sequels where
you can see, Okay, they just want to cash some
paychecks and just trade in on nostalgia. Absolutely, but this
(15:49):
is not a bad list. There are a lot of
bad movies on this list. Chris Wilson, great to see,
always great to be seeing. Mark Ronner, I'm not going
to see that movie A shot in the Dark. I
am six forty. I insist you see it. You're listening
to some of the best of Later with Mo Kelly
KFI A M six forty. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty. Kelly, Mark talks about pontificates
about pop culture.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Ron and Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
It is Later with Mo Kelly on k F I
am six forty, Live everywhere on the iHeart App. I'm
Mark Ronner and this is the Runner Report. This portion
of the show is live tonight because The Fantastic Four
First Steps is opening and our country needs us. It's
just you and me tonight. Phosh, we got this.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Let's do it. Okay. There have been a few stabs.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
At making Fantastic four move and they've all sucked the
varying degrees.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We've got a new one opening. Now here's a little
of the trailer.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Famous around the world. Please welcome the Fantastic Four. Mister, Fantastic,
Invisible Woman, Human Torch. I love you, Johnny and the Thing.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Hey, what time is it? Say? The thing that's not
really something? I say it's covering time. That's just in
the cartoon.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You get no more. Here's a quick rundown. There was
that infamous Cheap Oh Fantastic four movie from nineteen ninety
four that was made just to hang on to the rights,
never meant to be released. It was hilariously bad, and
when say mister Fantastic stretched out his arm, it looked
like somebody just stuck a glove on the end of
a broom handle. There were a couple from two thousand
and five and two thousand and seven that had Chris
(17:58):
Evans as the human Torch where he became Captain America.
Fairly embarrassing, but they did do a nice job of
him as Johnny and Michael Chickliss as the thing messing
with each other. If I'm remembering those correctly. Through the trauma,
I was watching through my fingers when mister Fantastic did
a stretchy dance at his own bachelor party, Did I
imagine that? Did that really happen? There was an especially
(18:19):
lousy one in twenty fifteen with Miles Teller as mister
Fantastic that was even worse than the nineteen ninety four
Cheap O one, which at least had its heart in
the right place. Absolute code Brown more like a Fantastic two.
There's a documentary about that, the nineteen ninety four one.
It's called Doomed, The Untold Story of Roger Corman's Fantastic
Four madeen twenty fifteen that you can find streaming. Turns
(18:41):
out a lot of the people involved in that really
put their hearts into it and didn't know they were
getting screwed at the time. Okay, that brings us up
to speed. Those were all a little heartbreaking because Fantastic
four has always been one of Marvel's best loved comics.
It was originally meant to be Marvel's answer to DC's
Justice League in the early sixties, but it was its
own thing, so to speak, coming from stan Lee and
(19:01):
Jack Kirby, maybe more from Kirby than we thought, depending
on who you talk to now, the Fantastic Four, it's
always been a tough nut to crack. And besides that,
the Incredibles got it so right without actually being called
the Fantastic Four that it just seemed to me like
nobody else should bother. And the trailers for this new
one had some concerning stuff in him. Everybody loves Pedro Pascal,
(19:21):
but he looks nothing like the Reid Richard's mister Fantastic.
We all know there is a female Silver Surfer played
by Julia Garner, which I had no interest in. Yeah,
there's a female one at some point later on in
the Marvel comics. But the Silver Surfer everyone knows is
the dude version named Norn radd. He was voiced by
Lawrence Fishburne and that bad one from two thousand and seven.
(19:42):
No one was asking for a chick silver Surfer.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
No one.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Okay, that's lamee. I didn't know that it made the
Silver Surfer female. Yeah, more on that in a little bit. Also,
the trailers featured herby the robot from the Fantastic Four cartoons.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's like putting the Wonder Twins from the super Friends
cartoon into Zack Snyder's Justice League movie What Are You Doing?
And I was wrong about all that? Fifth times the
charm First Steps is one of the best things Marvel
has ever done. Pedro's fine is read Richard's more vulnerable
than the cold intellectual he's traditionally been portrayed. This iteration
(20:20):
of the Silver Surfer doesn't ruin anything, and the actual
surfing is really fun to watch, and they somehow even
managed to handle Herbie. The robot perfectly could have been
like that awful, tweaky robot that ruined the old Buck
Rogers TV show, but no, Nope, zero problem with that.
Like the Superman movie that came out and that we
were viewed here a couple of weeks ago, this one
embraces that it's from a comic book, and even the
(20:43):
choices that fans like me might not have made are
so well executed you'd have to be pretty miserable to
find much wrong with this movie. Can't wait to see
it again, especially without the two dingleberries in front of
me and Tula talking through the whole thing. Actually, I
wanted to shout its clober in time at them in
the movie. This story takes place in an alternate earth
that looks like the early sixties Madmen era, when men
(21:05):
wore hats and suits everywhere, with an incredibly cool retro
futuristic design that's almost the star of the movie itself.
This movie is production designed right down to its last molecule,
and it's beautiful to look at. It's not another origin movie.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Thank God.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The FF are already well known and famous. When the
movie starts, Reed's girlfriend or wife, Sue Storm, played by
Vanessa Kirby, who you know from Mission Impossible and who
I first noticed in The Crown. She's pregnant, and maybe,
since it was the early sixties, they must have been married,
because back then there weren't single moms. They were unwed mothers,
(21:40):
and their kids were bastards. I should know, because I
was one. I wasn't born yet in the early sixties,
but that stuff lasted a while. If you don't remember,
I didn't come from a single parent household. I was
just a bastard, or, as the joke goes in the movie,
a thousand clowns a little bastard, depending on the day. Anyway,
the Fantastic Four discovers a giant, evil planet eating being
(22:03):
called Galactus coming to Earth to eat Earth. The Chicksilver
Surfer is his Harold and I know that's rude, get
off my back, and they have to confront him to
ask him politely to please not devour the Earth, as
that would be ungentlemanly. So Galactus says, oh, I didn't know,
my bad, no problem. Big fan of the crown. Okay, no,
he says, sure, I'll back off in exchange for your child,
(22:26):
which is also fairly ungentlemanly if we're being honest here,
even if that child was a bastard. Anyway, the Fantastic
Four has to save the world from Galactus and the
Silver Surfer and figure out what's so special about their
baby that Galactus would take him in lieu of the earth?
Is he galactating? I'll take a rimshot. Phosh, that joke
(22:46):
may have been my crowning achievement. Come on, thank you. Okay,
Getting Galactus right was a major thing, and they do.
In one of those failed earlier attempts, he's portrayed as
some sort of stupid space cloud thing. This one looks
like the one from the comics with the gigantic helmet,
ridiculous yet also magnificent. He's also, for all intents and purposes,
(23:07):
a Kaiju. And that's all I'll say about that. Mister
Fantastic's powers were a big hurdle, and I noticed they
didn't show much in the trailers. That's one of those
things like Thor spinning his hammer and flying with it
that you think, oh crap, that's gonna look It's gonna
be hard to avoid looking silly, but they made it
work for Thor, and they make it work for mister
Fantastic stretching here. Like I said, this is a comic
(23:29):
book movie, full stop. The director's Matt Shackman, who also
directed Marvel's Wanda Vision series, but just as importantly for
this forty three episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
They nail the tone here, which is whimsical with a
blend of family comedy and sci fi action adventure drama.
I'm still not paying eighty bucks for the Galactus Head
(23:50):
popcorn bucket. I don't even have a little bastard to
trade for one that is your run a report. I'm
sure we'll talk more about Fantastic four with Moe when
he's back next week. Phosh, just real quick, pardon my ignorance. No, no, okay.
Is a Silver Surfer supposed to be part of the
team or is he like a rebel? The Silver Surfer
is the Herald of Galactus, meaning he shows up scouts
(24:13):
planet and shows up to tell people that they're going
to be eaten, and he becomes a hero in I
guess the Bronze Age of Marvel. I think he's part
of the Defenders with Doctor Strange and Hulk. Okay, so
he's he's a little bit in the in the gray
area between hero and villain, but ultimately becomes a hero
because he realizes Galactus is a is a bad dude,
(24:36):
got it right, know, foush. If you want to regroup
and throw to me, yeah, I'll do some news.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
If you're just tuning in, you're listening to some of
the best of Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Scientists have found that organ transplants can have unexpected consequences,
including profound changes to one's personality and even sexuality. In
a study involving forty seven people, a whopping eighty nine
percent reported personality changes following their transplant surgery, no matter
(25:24):
what organ they had received. These changes included changes in
the preferences for food, intimacy, and even preferences And you
know what I mean, I don't know, firstham, what it's
like to be a transplant recipient. Knock on wood, you know,
who knows what tomorrow may dring. But Tula Sharp, you
might have one or two opinions. I say two opinions
(25:46):
because you are a double organ transplant recipient, yep. And
we talk about this subject in a serious way often.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Yeah, I can tell you for a fact that there
definitely are are side effects to the mood, especially in
the beginning of your personality just in General's part of
the intake and part of the entire valuation process is
they want to get a good idea of the person
you are before the transplant, and they want to know
(26:17):
this so that they can help you and your family
watch for significant personality changes because a lot of the
medicine that we are are medicines that do affect not
only personality but sexuality. I have not necessarily had all
of a sudden, you know, a preference for the opposite sex.
Like I'm not looking at Marx mustache and going hey there, fella.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
But I think you are. I only brought it up
because I am that's why you've been sending me the
cat videos.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Isn't that? Oh, it's like.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
No, but it's it is interesting that one of the
side effects, at least for me, has been a lack
of interest in sex period.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So it's like one of.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Those people are like, man, so you're not dating gonna.
I'm like, I don't even have the desire or the drive.
It's kind of like almost non existent.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, let me ask you then, is it more the
organ or is it the immunosuppressence.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
It's the suppressant. The immunosuppressant drugs. Those a lot of those,
especially we're on a cocktail of drugs that all have
some mood altering or erectile dysfunction type side effect, the
possibility of yeah, oh no, no, it's very serious for me.
I think it has affected me in terms of bringing
(27:37):
my overall hormone levels down. And I've talked to a
doctor about that, like, hey, man, I don't know what's
going on, but I'm like, I'm not even interested. And
he did a hormone check and it's like, yeah, your
T cells are very very low.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Very low.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Unfortunately it's one of those side effects. And his response
is so, hey, sirre's what we can do. I can
put you on another medicine that'll bring your te cells up,
but then you're gonna need another medicine to help with that,
because that medicine is going to counteract with all of
these medicines. And I say, you know what, I'm good,
I'm cool, I just won't date.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I'm straight.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know how you do it, seriously, because I've
seen you take your medicines.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
They're a lot. It's a lot. It is a lot.
It is a.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Lot that would change my personality on the strength of
just that, because you have your alarm set to a
certain time, we're supposed to do X, Y and Z,
and you know that. I'm quite sure you are gracious
and grateful, yes, for the transplant, but there's still a
lot of maintenance involved.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh the maintenance.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
It's a lifetime of maintenances you sign up for when
you sign on that dotted line that you're going to
get this extremely invasive, extremely expensive procedure. You're signing up
for life saying I will take care of this for
as long as I possibly can, because I know what
the alternative looks like. So for me, I'm like, I'll
take it, give me the blue pill if need be.
(28:59):
But still I'm like, all the things that I have
saved on by not being in a relationship, stress, money,
Valentine's Day gifts that mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You mess around and be middle class in California.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Call back.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
You're gonna be able to go to those pizza days
with Foosh, right, man, I could definitely take a pizza fest.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Pizza fest. Oh yeah, now, twelve.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I don't know what kind of insurance coverage you have,
but is it possible that the expenses associated with an
organ transplant are so high that it's hard to afford
paying for sex afterwards?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Here?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I thought he was going to ask a real question.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Gives a pretty good setup as a setup, I s great,
thought that was gonna be Yeah, okay, you earn that one.
You get one off every now and then. It's the mustache.
It's much thicker.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Now. You'll find it appealing too, don't you. I don't
have a transplant yet.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Okay, nothing changed, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, looking at that mustache, Yes there is. Oh no,
this mustache is tasty, admitted tasty.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah, look at it. Let's not tune the focus to me.
We're talking about to wallet here.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Talking about me. I think we're all over me. We're good,
We've got it. I think we've got all the information
that we need changes. Yes, yeah, okay, so there is
some truth to this. Oh no, there's a lot of
truth that.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
When I read through the article, I was like, yeah,
this everything that they're saying in this article is true.
And I've talked to several people who have felt some
some significant personality changes. They've had to get on mood
stabilizers and things like that, like you know that have
gone into supreme extreme depression. The highs and lows can
be really rough, especially with a lot of the UH
(30:49):
steroids that were on that. That's some of the steroids
that hit people differently.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Six of the forty seven participants reported changes in sexual preferences.
Some transplant were scipients even reported that they've taken on
the memories of their organ donors. But you know that's deep, Yeah,
that's deeps It is very interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But you're the first person I thought of.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But we have a few people here at KFI who've
gone through organ transplants.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
So I would want to talk to Mondo.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I would want to talk to Neil and see if
anything's changed in their lives in that regard.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
You know, we got to get Mondo on so he
can tell us about his big guacamole event coming up
and maybe we can talk to him then.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, he's big time in now, so he knows where
to find us.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Just like he's like he's never has any time to
give us any guacamole.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He has never any time for any of that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I know he's he's like famous and stuff now, so
he doesn't think he needs to talk to the little
people about his guaca ball big time. It's really disappointing.
I thought he wasn't going to change when he got big,
but now he's changed.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That gua King title's gone to his head. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, you've been listening to some of the best of
Later with Moe Kelly kfi A six forty.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:03):
App ks I and KOs T HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty ok.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's some of the best of Later with Moke Kelly.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We talk
about movies we like, we talk about movies we don't like,
we talk about sequels.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now we're gonna put it all together.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
This is a list from the Verge of the fifteen
worst movie sequels ever. And I don't disagree with any
title on this list. They're not ranked, and there are
probably other titles we could add to it, but the
fifteen they submitted I don't have any problem with, and
(00:41):
that's rare. Usually I disagree with a lot that these
film critics have to say. Again, in no particular order,
the fifteen worst movie Sequels Ever, Mark Roner, I definitely
want your input, as you see fit.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Let's have it. The first one.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Listed, Speed two Cruise Control. You know, I've never seen that,
and I kind of want to, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, the thing is that, yeah, when a movie that's
a code brown like that first comes out, of course
you want to avoid it. But with the passing of
time you can kind of relax a little bit and
have fun with a stinker like that, to make sure
Chris's Mike is on He's still with us.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's really bad. Speed too is awful. It is. Oh,
it is abysmal.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, words failed me, as they said next on the list,
And I don't disagree with this, but I have a
more of a softer place of my heart for this sequel.
Conan the Destroyer sequel to Codan the Barbarian. If you
don't remember, Code and the Destroyer had Andre the Giant
and Wilt Chamberlain. And didn't that have Grace Jones in
(01:48):
it too. I'm sure it did. I just don't want
to remember all those aspects of it. I don't remember
it as well as the original because the original was
just a stone cold masterpiece. Yes, but I don't remember
hating it. Way back when it came out. I didn't
hate it, but I still thought it was silly when
they had Wil Chamberlain and Andre the Giant is like, okay,
(02:08):
it did have a real WWF vibe to it, more
so than a Conan vibe. I don't know why it's
so hard to get Conan right. Jason Momoa was in
one that I didn't hate, but everybody dumped on too.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Here's one that I absolutely agree with.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
And you can only appreciate how bad a movie is
this if if you've seen the movie which preceded it.
Do you remember Pitch Black? Yeah, the Vin Diesel movie.
Vin Diesel kind of put him on the map for
the most part. Yes, I thought that was a great
sci fi movie. It was the sequel the Chronicles of
(02:44):
Ritick not so much. Yeah, way too much urban you know,
the the under verse and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It was a sequel to that. Yeah. Oh wow, Yeah,
I don't know that. I knew that.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yes, yes, that's actually how they tried to build out
the Riddick universe.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
The original was kind of a little scrappy sci fi
horror action movie. Yep. And they threw so much money. Yeah,
threw so much and way too much. There was talent
in the movie, Tandy Newton and some others. It just
was a bad movie, really bad movie. And they're still
they're supposed to have like a fourth Ritick movie coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I don't really. Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes, here's one which may be controversial for some because
some people find this series iconic and there's a lot
of nostalgia connected to it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Rambo First Blood Part two.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I think they're all kind of an acquired taste after
the very first one. But you see, that's what I'm saying,
a lot of people give First Blood Part two a
little more grace, and I'm not sure why that is,
because I thought First Blood Part two was a caricature
of the first movie. Yeah, the first one was a
legit good film, and then so after that, Stallone became
(03:57):
just an insane superstar and then nobody was saying no
to The second one was just like an overblown cartoonish cartoon.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It was cartoon.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He turned into a superhero at that point, exactly. Aliens
Versus Predator Requiem trash.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It was trash. Aliens Versus Predator was trash.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Alien Versus Predator Requiem was trash, dumpster fire. The Predator
was trash. You could have chosen any one of them. Now,
Predators with Adrian Brody, I like that one.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Not bad. Yeah, but you're great. You didn't like the
original Predator.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No, No, I love the original pre I'm talking about
any of the subsequent the Predator, which which had that's
the one with boy boyd Holbrook, right, yes, yes, yes,
and uh Olivia Munn and some other random people.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was pretty.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Stupid, but I got to admit that I found it
entertaining at the time that I watched. They tried to
be too funny, and I don't want my Predator movies funny.
I wanted to be more like a Alien where there's
a lot of serious stuff happening. People are dying and
treated as such, but everyone had to say some funny
(05:06):
line before they died.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's like, no.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
As in maybe an homage back to Arnold Schwarzenegger and
the original Predator, but that, Yeah, that was unintentional humor. Also,
I don't know if Boyd Holbrook can open a movie.
Well that was his chance. Yeah, I like him as
an actor. I think the first of I saw him
was in the original Narcos, that's correct, Yeah, and I
liked him in that. And I think Patron Pascal the
(05:33):
first of I saw him was in Narcos. Great actors.
I don't know if they can headline movies by themselves.
They just haven't had their ight vehicle yet. I guess
with him, he's He's been good in some stuff though, Yeah,
Freddy's dead the Final Nightmare.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't think any of the movies were good. I'm
not a fan of those either. Yeah, I don't know.
So you could have chosen any of them.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You could have Freddy Versus Jason, Freddy, Freddy Matan, Freddy
go Outer Space whatever. That one was, sure, you know,
any of them was Jason Goes down to Space. That
was the tenth one whatever. And you're gonna think I'm nuts,
But that one's actually kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Jason.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I saw that one in theaters. I remember it's trash,
but it's fun, Okay, Rash Beverly Hills Cop three.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We all agree, Yeah, that was bad. Is that the
one with the Bridget Nielsen Or is that two? No?
Three is the amusement Park? Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
All right, yep uh that was Magic Mountain, Yes it was, yeah, okay, yeah,
really bad.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Book of Shadows, Blair Witch two. I didn't think. I
don't like the first one, but I don't even know.
The second one was all that's real bad stuff. Let's
stop right there.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
We have some more of the fifteen worst movie sequels.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ever, I don't disagree with any of them.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Usually I thought, like, you can't have that on this list.
It's a masterpiece. Not at all these are all trash
movies very much so. You're listening to some of the
best of Later with Moe Kelly. If I am we
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:09):

It's mo On the Movies, not a chants.

Mister Molkelly live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on
YouTube at mister m kelly.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Be sure to subscribe. You can get into the chat.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They are debating as we are the fifteen worst movie
sequels ever, and from the chat these are some of
their i'll say, honorable mentions. Superman five, the Quest for Peace.
That was the one with Richard Pryor. That was that
was that was god awful, super Bad Superman super Bad.
I can't believe they did that to Christopher Reef. Yeah,
(07:57):
the Star Wars trilogy seven movie, seven, eight nine, those
were those are awful, unwatchable, awful. The Karate they said
Karate Kid three. No, that was with the bad Boy
Mike Barnes. That was not bad at all, cheesy, but
it was a good villain. I think they mean The
Next Karate Kid, yes, which had Hillary Swank absolutely. Now
(08:18):
I could say The Karate Kid with Jayden Smith was
not a favorite of mine at all.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
No, no, but better than that.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, but I don't even really call that a sequel
because it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It did not connect to the to the Pat Merita.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Universe until now they're trying to connect with this The
Next Karate Kid, which is still weird using kung fu.
All the Jaws movies sequels, yes, yes, all of them
were bad.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yes, I gotta tell you, don't you do it?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's trash, but the Michael Caine one is fun trash.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Which one is that? Is that the Revenge? I believe?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So yeah, no, no, that's the third one, third one Okay,
I saw that. That was the three D one. Okay,
it's the fourth one. Okay, the wife is the star.
That's revenge, Yes, yes, revenge where there's like the Shark
has some sort of vendetta and it's like the grandson
Shark or something coming after the Roy Scheider family can't
remember his name. Yeah, let's just be clear. These aren't
(09:16):
anything you could ever legitimately call good. But there are
things you can have fun with if you're in the
right mood for it. None of the Jurassic Parks sequels,
excuse me, none of the Jurassic World sequels good. I
like some of the Jurassic Park sequels. I was disappointed
with Jurassic World in general. Yeah, they're just too stupid.
(09:36):
I dumped those after what the first one. I was like,
how many times can dinosaurs get loose, eat everyone and
the company engine stay in business? Real slow learning curve there.
But now we have Elon Musk, so maybe it's not
so unrealistic. Even with Jurassic World, the dinosaurs get free spoiler,
they eat people.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And they're still in business. Exactly. The damn animals were
running around San Diego, still in business. There were no
congressional hearing, not a one one. Yeah, regulation is really
the crux of all those movies.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Anyhow, let's get back to the official list by the
Verge of the fifteen worst movie sequels.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Ever, it may not.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Be the fifteen definitive fifteen, but I can't disagree with
anything on this list. Highlander End Game, Highlander to the
Quickening was pretty bad as well, and Highlander of the
Original I just rewatched that the other night.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
It's not great, but so it's cheesy, super campy. Yes,
and Sean Connery maybe plays the worst Spaniard in the Remember.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Says, I'm a Gyp shirt with a Scottish accent. I'm
a Gyp shart. Yeah, I'm Sean Connery. And it's like,
are they are they going for the joke here?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Say Sean Connery has this supposed Spanish get up.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He's from Spain. In other words, the care just from Spain.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And then he corrects Christopher Lambert and says, I'm actually
Egyptian because I guess he's an immortal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's been all over the place. You know. It was
just really bad. It was really bad. And Clancy Brown
I forgot.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's where, Yes, that's where he, I guess, came to prominence.
And I just couldn't take him seriously in that role.
I can't defend any of that. But I'm in a
Highlander fan film, so I think I need to withhold
the comment seriously. Okay, if I said boom chicken boom, boom,
chicken boom chick chicken boom. The Mask, the Mask, oh, yes,
(11:37):
the sequel, The Son of the Mask, which a lot
of people forget Jamie Kennedy. I remember it and I
remember being god awful.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And they did it like twenty years later. I don't know,
but it wasn't with Jim Carrey and he was smart
enough to avoid it. Yeah, and this next one, I
know Mark Ronner would be able to appreciate. And I
think you too as well. Chris Exorcist to the Heretic. Okay,
I listen. There's a lot to say about that.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Friedkin. William Friedkin directed the first one.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
John Borman did the second one, and every single person
involved with the first one disowned it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But what do me but?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But it's worth seeing because it's just wild, it's insane.
It's got some really impressive visual stuff in it. And
I'm not even gonna call it trash. It's just a
weird left turn that nobody involved in the original endorsed.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But you can't completely write it off. I guess you can.
Have you seen Have you actually seen it? Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I have.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
In fact, I think there are some some Georgetown. I
think that Patrick Ewing was in it. Patrick Ewing Burton
was in it, And yes, I don't I can't prove
that he was drunk through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But it was Richard Burton.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
We can make some assumptions, but listen, drunk or sober,
I'd watch him read the ingredients on a toothpaste too.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But it's a lot of fun with just watching him
work and he's good in that.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, well we should be able to agree upon this
next one, The Crow City of Angels.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh no, no, no, right, yeah, so on so many levels.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So many and I think it was not gonna be
received because obviously it was after.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Brandon Lee's death. People were willing to say, just leave
it alone. Yep, leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You you can't it was It would have been like
doing another Batman movie with a different Joker after Heath
Ledger passed.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Just let that character have its own space with that actor.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like they haven't even recast Black Panther, you know, because
of you just can't do it, not at the moment,
for sure. And we got two more Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
I didn't care about the first one.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The first one compared with the cinematic right, yeah, that
is Mortal Kombat. That was one of my wife and
I's first dates was.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Mortal and look at you all now, right, Wow, twenty
six years. That's a fun movie.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
That's about the only good thing that came about. I
mean it was fine for what it was, the original
at the time. Yeah, but it's not like anything. I
had to say it one, the original President. How do
you differentiate between any of those? I have no recollection
specifically of that one, even though I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That you should watch the Criterion collection.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, it's almost like the Jean Claude Van Damn movies.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
They're all pretty much the same. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, you know, blood Sport, Lion, Heard Lion, they're all
the same.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, they're all the same.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Trail of the Pink Panther.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh, that's the one they put together after Peter Sellers died.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Here we are again. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You know, like Chadwick Boseman after the Titlar character after dies,
you you have to leave it alone. You have to
leave it alone.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
What about the what about the James Bond film, the
James Bond that he did one one movie, George Lazenby.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, that's a great one. That is an absolutely phenomenal
good Okay, I've never I've never actually watched it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, he walked away from doing James Bond didn't he
he did because it was the late sixties and he
had kind of a guru influencing him who told him
that was out of style, not cool, you don't want
to be the man. But on her Majesty's Secret Service
is really one of the finest James Bond movies of
all of them, easily top five. I was not a
fan of Peter Seller's and the Peak Panther series. That's
(15:13):
just maybe me. Have you seen a Shot in the Dark.
If I have, I don't remember it. You need to
just Daddy Schnell, Mark Schnell.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And last one Cocoon the Return.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Oh yeah, the first one was great, the second one, no,
I haven't seen that. Look, I could put some Police
Academy movies on here as well. There are a lot
of bad sequels. Hell, I could put a Godfather three
on here. There are a lot of bad sequels where
you can see, Okay, they just want to cash some
paychecks and just trade in on nostalgia. Absolutely, but this
(15:49):
is not a bad list. There are a lot of
bad movies on this list. Chris Wilson, great to see,
always great to be seeing. Mark Ronner, I'm not going
to see that movie A shot in the Dark. I
am six forty. I insist you see it. You're listening

Speaker 3 (16:39):
It is Later with Mo Kelly on k F I

Mark Ronner and this is the Runner Report. This portion
of the show is live tonight because The Fantastic Four
First Steps is opening and our country needs us. It's
just you and me tonight. Phosh, we got this.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Let's do it. Okay. There have been a few stabs.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
At making Fantastic four move and they've all sucked the
varying degrees.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We've got a new one opening. Now here's a little
of the trailer.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Famous around the world. Please welcome the Fantastic Four. Mister, Fantastic,
Invisible Woman, Human Torch. I love you, Johnny and the Thing.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Hey, what time is it? Say? The thing that's not
really something? I say it's covering time. That's just in
the cartoon.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You get no more. Here's a quick rundown. There was
that infamous Cheap Oh Fantastic four movie from nineteen ninety
four that was made just to hang on to the rights,
never meant to be released. It was hilariously bad, and
when say mister Fantastic stretched out his arm, it looked
like somebody just stuck a glove on the end of
a broom handle. There were a couple from two thousand
and five and two thousand and seven that had Chris
(17:58):
Evans as the human Torch where he became Captain America.
Fairly embarrassing, but they did do a nice job of
him as Johnny and Michael Chickliss as the thing messing
with each other. If I'm remembering those correctly. Through the trauma,
I was watching through my fingers when mister Fantastic did
a stretchy dance at his own bachelor party, Did I
imagine that? Did that really happen? There was an especially
(18:19):
lousy one in twenty fifteen with Miles Teller as mister
Fantastic that was even worse than the nineteen ninety four
Cheap O one, which at least had its heart in
the right place. Absolute code Brown more like a Fantastic two.
There's a documentary about that, the nineteen ninety four one.
It's called Doomed, The Untold Story of Roger Corman's Fantastic
Four madeen twenty fifteen that you can find streaming. Turns
(18:41):
out a lot of the people involved in that really
put their hearts into it and didn't know they were
getting screwed at the time. Okay, that brings us up
to speed. Those were all a little heartbreaking because Fantastic
four has always been one of Marvel's best loved comics.
It was originally meant to be Marvel's answer to DC's
Justice League in the early sixties, but it was its
own thing, so to speak, coming from stan Lee and
(19:01):
Jack Kirby, maybe more from Kirby than we thought, depending
on who you talk to now, the Fantastic Four, it's
always been a tough nut to crack. And besides that,
the Incredibles got it so right without actually being called
the Fantastic Four that it just seemed to me like
nobody else should bother. And the trailers for this new
one had some concerning stuff in him. Everybody loves Pedro Pascal,
(19:21):
but he looks nothing like the Reid Richard's mister Fantastic.
We all know there is a female Silver Surfer played
by Julia Garner, which I had no interest in. Yeah,
there's a female one at some point later on in
the Marvel comics. But the Silver Surfer everyone knows is
the dude version named Norn radd. He was voiced by
Lawrence Fishburne and that bad one from two thousand and seven.
(19:42):
No one was asking for a chick silver Surfer.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
No one.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Okay, that's lamee. I didn't know that it made the
Silver Surfer female. Yeah, more on that in a little bit. Also,
the trailers featured herby the robot from the Fantastic Four cartoons.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's like putting the Wonder Twins from the super Friends
cartoon into Zack Snyder's Justice League movie What Are You Doing?
And I was wrong about all that? Fifth times the
charm First Steps is one of the best things Marvel
has ever done. Pedro's fine is read Richard's more vulnerable
than the cold intellectual he's traditionally been portrayed. This iteration
(20:20):
of the Silver Surfer doesn't ruin anything, and the actual
surfing is really fun to watch, and they somehow even
managed to handle Herbie. The robot perfectly could have been
like that awful, tweaky robot that ruined the old Buck
Rogers TV show, but no, Nope, zero problem with that.
Like the Superman movie that came out and that we
were viewed here a couple of weeks ago, this one
embraces that it's from a comic book, and even the
(20:43):
choices that fans like me might not have made are
so well executed you'd have to be pretty miserable to
find much wrong with this movie. Can't wait to see
it again, especially without the two dingleberries in front of
me and Tula talking through the whole thing. Actually, I
wanted to shout its clober in time at them in
the movie. This story takes place in an alternate earth
that looks like the early sixties Madmen era, when men
(21:05):
wore hats and suits everywhere, with an incredibly cool retro
futuristic design that's almost the star of the movie itself.
This movie is production designed right down to its last molecule,
and it's beautiful to look at. It's not another origin movie.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Thank God.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The FF are already well known and famous. When the
movie starts, Reed's girlfriend or wife, Sue Storm, played by
Vanessa Kirby, who you know from Mission Impossible and who
I first noticed in The Crown. She's pregnant, and maybe,
since it was the early sixties, they must have been married,
because back then there weren't single moms. They were unwed mothers,
(21:40):
and their kids were bastards. I should know, because I
was one. I wasn't born yet in the early sixties,
but that stuff lasted a while. If you don't remember,
I didn't come from a single parent household. I was
just a bastard, or, as the joke goes in the movie,
a thousand clowns a little bastard, depending on the day. Anyway,
the Fantastic Four discovers a giant, evil planet eating being
(22:03):
called Galactus coming to Earth to eat Earth. The Chicksilver
Surfer is his Harold and I know that's rude, get
off my back, and they have to confront him to
ask him politely to please not devour the Earth, as
that would be ungentlemanly. So Galactus says, oh, I didn't know,
my bad, no problem. Big fan of the crown. Okay, no,
he says, sure, I'll back off in exchange for your child,
(22:26):
which is also fairly ungentlemanly if we're being honest here,
even if that child was a bastard. Anyway, the Fantastic
Four has to save the world from Galactus and the
Silver Surfer and figure out what's so special about their
baby that Galactus would take him in lieu of the earth?
Is he galactating? I'll take a rimshot. Phosh, that joke
(22:46):
may have been my crowning achievement. Come on, thank you. Okay,
Getting Galactus right was a major thing, and they do.
In one of those failed earlier attempts, he's portrayed as
some sort of stupid space cloud thing. This one looks
like the one from the comics with the gigantic helmet,
ridiculous yet also magnificent. He's also, for all intents and purposes,
(23:07):
a Kaiju. And that's all I'll say about that. Mister
Fantastic's powers were a big hurdle, and I noticed they
didn't show much in the trailers. That's one of those
things like Thor spinning his hammer and flying with it
that you think, oh crap, that's gonna look It's gonna
be hard to avoid looking silly, but they made it
work for Thor, and they make it work for mister
Fantastic stretching here. Like I said, this is a comic
(23:29):
book movie, full stop. The director's Matt Shackman, who also
directed Marvel's Wanda Vision series, but just as importantly for
this forty three episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
They nail the tone here, which is whimsical with a
blend of family comedy and sci fi action adventure drama.
I'm still not paying eighty bucks for the Galactus Head
(23:50):
popcorn bucket. I don't even have a little bastard to
trade for one that is your run a report. I'm
sure we'll talk more about Fantastic four with Moe when
he's back next week. Phosh, just real quick, pardon my ignorance. No, no, okay.
Is a Silver Surfer supposed to be part of the
team or is he like a rebel? The Silver Surfer
is the Herald of Galactus, meaning he shows up scouts
(24:13):
planet and shows up to tell people that they're going
to be eaten, and he becomes a hero in I
guess the Bronze Age of Marvel. I think he's part
of the Defenders with Doctor Strange and Hulk. Okay, so
he's he's a little bit in the in the gray
area between hero and villain, but ultimately becomes a hero
because he realizes Galactus is a is a bad dude,
(24:36):
got it right, know, foush. If you want to regroup
and throw to me, yeah, I'll do some news.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
If you're just tuning in, you're listening to some of
the best of Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Scientists have found that organ transplants can have unexpected consequences,
including profound changes to one's personality and even sexuality. In
a study involving forty seven people, a whopping eighty nine
percent reported personality changes following their transplant surgery, no matter
(25:24):
what organ they had received. These changes included changes in
the preferences for food, intimacy, and even preferences And you
know what I mean, I don't know, firstham, what it's
like to be a transplant recipient. Knock on wood, you know,
who knows what tomorrow may dring. But Tula Sharp, you
might have one or two opinions. I say two opinions
(25:46):
because you are a double organ transplant recipient, yep. And
we talk about this subject in a serious way often.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Yeah, I can tell you for a fact that there
definitely are are side effects to the mood, especially in
the beginning of your personality just in General's part of
the intake and part of the entire valuation process is
they want to get a good idea of the person
you are before the transplant, and they want to know
(26:17):
this so that they can help you and your family
watch for significant personality changes because a lot of the
medicine that we are are medicines that do affect not
only personality but sexuality. I have not necessarily had all
of a sudden, you know, a preference for the opposite sex.
Like I'm not looking at Marx mustache and going hey there, fella.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
But I think you are. I only brought it up
because I am that's why you've been sending me the
cat videos.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Isn't that? Oh, it's like.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
No, but it's it is interesting that one of the
side effects, at least for me, has been a lack
of interest in sex period.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So it's like one of.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Those people are like, man, so you're not dating gonna.
I'm like, I don't even have the desire or the drive.
It's kind of like almost non existent.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, let me ask you then, is it more the
organ or is it the immunosuppressence.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
It's the suppressant. The immunosuppressant drugs. Those a lot of those,
especially we're on a cocktail of drugs that all have
some mood altering or erectile dysfunction type side effect, the
possibility of yeah, oh no, no, it's very serious for me.
I think it has affected me in terms of bringing
(27:37):
my overall hormone levels down. And I've talked to a
doctor about that, like, hey, man, I don't know what's
going on, but I'm like, I'm not even interested. And
he did a hormone check and it's like, yeah, your
T cells are very very low.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Very low.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Unfortunately it's one of those side effects. And his response
is so, hey, sirre's what we can do. I can
put you on another medicine that'll bring your te cells up,
but then you're gonna need another medicine to help with that,
because that medicine is going to counteract with all of
these medicines. And I say, you know what, I'm good,
I'm cool, I just won't date.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I'm straight.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know how you do it, seriously, because I've
seen you take your medicines.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
They're a lot. It's a lot. It is a lot.
It is a.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Lot that would change my personality on the strength of
just that, because you have your alarm set to a
certain time, we're supposed to do X, Y and Z,
and you know that. I'm quite sure you are gracious
and grateful, yes, for the transplant, but there's still a
lot of maintenance involved.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Oh the maintenance.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
It's a lifetime of maintenances you sign up for when
you sign on that dotted line that you're going to
get this extremely invasive, extremely expensive procedure. You're signing up
for life saying I will take care of this for
as long as I possibly can, because I know what
the alternative looks like. So for me, I'm like, I'll
take it, give me the blue pill if need be.
(28:59):
But still I'm like, all the things that I have
saved on by not being in a relationship, stress, money,
Valentine's Day gifts that mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You mess around and be middle class in California.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Call back.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
You're gonna be able to go to those pizza days
with Foosh, right, man, I could definitely take a pizza fest.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Pizza fest. Oh yeah, now, twelve.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I don't know what kind of insurance coverage you have,
but is it possible that the expenses associated with an
organ transplant are so high that it's hard to afford
paying for sex afterwards?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Here?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I thought he was going to ask a real question.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Gives a pretty good setup as a setup, I s great,
thought that was gonna be Yeah, okay, you earn that one.
You get one off every now and then. It's the mustache.
It's much thicker.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Now. You'll find it appealing too, don't you. I don't
have a transplant yet.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Okay, nothing changed, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, looking at that mustache, Yes there is. Oh no,
this mustache is tasty, admitted tasty.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah, look at it. Let's not tune the focus to me.
We're talking about to wallet here.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Talking about me. I think we're all over me. We're good,
We've got it. I think we've got all the information
that we need changes. Yes, yeah, okay, so there is
some truth to this. Oh no, there's a lot of
truth that.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
When I read through the article, I was like, yeah,
this everything that they're saying in this article is true.
And I've talked to several people who have felt some
some significant personality changes. They've had to get on mood
stabilizers and things like that, like you know that have
gone into supreme extreme depression. The highs and lows can
be really rough, especially with a lot of the UH
(30:49):
steroids that were on that. That's some of the steroids
that hit people differently.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Six of the forty seven participants reported changes in sexual preferences.
Some transplant were scipients even reported that they've taken on
the memories of their organ donors. But you know that's deep, Yeah,
that's deeps It is very interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
But you're the first person I thought of.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But we have a few people here at KFI who've
gone through organ transplants.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
So I would want to talk to Mondo.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I would want to talk to Neil and see if
anything's changed in their lives in that regard.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
You know, we got to get Mondo on so he
can tell us about his big guacamole event coming up
and maybe we can talk to him then.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, he's big time in now, so he knows where
to find us.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Just like he's like he's never has any time to
give us any guacamole.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He has never any time for any of that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I know he's he's like famous and stuff now, so
he doesn't think he needs to talk to the little
people about his guaca ball big time. It's really disappointing.
I thought he wasn't going to change when he got big,
but now he's changed.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That gua King title's gone to his head. Yeah.
