Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Later with Mo Kelly Live everywherey iHeartRadio app. Summer
is over for all intents and purposes. Summer is over.
When you talk about movies. That is a sad time,
if you will, for movie theaters.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because the big movies, the tent pole franchises, the things
which puts people in seats week after week after week,
that period has come to an end, and it signifies
the beginning of a very slow period for most movie theaters.
I would say all the way through until about February.
(00:43):
Now there's some obviously some holiday releases that people may
be interested in, but the big movies is done for
quite some time until closer to March and April. So
movie theaters they look to the summer blockbusters or the
summer more generally as an indicator of how strong their
(01:03):
business is or how well it is doing. And if
you look at just the raw numbers, it was not
a great summer. It was off to a great start
in advance of like the Fourth of July movies, I
should say the July movies like Fantastic Four, and also Superman,
but they did not deliver the box office numbers that
(01:27):
were originally expected or hoped for now twalla nine. We
disagree as far as expectations and whether certain expectations were met,
but I can say confidently that no summer blockbuster was
a runaway hit. The billion dollar mark for me and
I think most movie studios is the threshold.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The closest movie was Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know, the fifty first movie in the series,
which was more a hit overseas numbers wise than it
was domestically. There were a couple of surprises. I mean,
no one thought that the Little Alien movie was gonna
be a billion dollar.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Film Leel one Stitch. Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I think that kind of counterbalanced the other movies would
should not do as well. In other words, if the
summer had a Fantastic Four which did seven eight hundred million,
and Superman, which did eight hundred million or closer to
a billion, the perception of the summer overall, I think
would have been very different.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think that this summer there were no there were
no films that I think overall overall anyone was necessarily
looking forward to. And and I say that because other
people are like, but Fantastic Four and Superman, I say,
please understand, this is the unteemed bite at the Apple.
(02:47):
For Fantastic Four, I had Superman and Superman, Superman Beyond Beyond,
because Superman has had several films and several television shows
behind it, some that were loved, so there were hate
So there's a lot more going against a Superman and
a Fantastic Four for a market that was already screaming
for something new. Superman and Fantastic Four, to be fair,
(03:11):
neither of those are new. When you have something like
f one that does very very good, that's like wow,
but it also did very very good international internationally. How
to Tear In Your Dragon right did very How to
Train Your Dragon should not do better than Superman. That's
what I was seeing when you look at you like wow,
like what is happening? And even the damn Roadblocks movie.
(03:36):
That movie didn't shame Busters. That movie was humongous. But
it's something that I think that something we've talked about
in all fairness, but all the films that did exceptionally
well were original films, you know, based on even though
Roadblocks is a very popular video game, doing a film
(03:58):
based on that and it successful. Wow, that's a hit.
Another race car movie. No one thought in a million
years if one would do good. No, I mean, just
think about how hYP we were for the Mission Impossible film.
That film didn't do anything. People literally forgot it came out. Well,
it also expectations.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think it's still brought in more than a half
a billion dollars, but the expectations were such since it
was the last one in the series, that it was
going to do something closer to a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
At least to your point with the Superman film, that
it would at least do better than the film that
preceded it. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, Now don't sleep on weapons.
That was a surprise hit that then cost something like
thirty eight million bucks and it's made about two hundred
and forty million worldwide.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, but we're talking multipliers here, and as far as
tipping the balance for a summer season, whether it's going
to be great or not, you need the big movies
to do well to pull their weight, and then you
need to have the surprise hits.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Is in addition, well, I think to Walla's problem with
Superman is that he was more of a Dean Kine fan. No, no,
because I like my Superman to be able to climb
over walls.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I see, are you referring to that ice obstacle training course?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Now, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Referring to the Lewis and Clark series. That's all. That's nothing. Look,
I mean when I hear that, I hear.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Is a old, played out actor struggling to get through
an obstacle course. And I laugh because you're Superman and
that should happen. But that is also indicative of the
dismal box office, because your hopes war for someone like
that to do exceptionally well getting over a simple obstacle course,
not to struggle mightily.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
The box office struggled mightily. Well.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I wish it had done better, but it was still
successful enough that it's getting a sequel.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, No, I mean I'm not talking about supermow on.
I mean we're talking about the summer box office. We
needed those of us who are film goers and movie
level We needed this summer box office to be stellar,
not come in lower than last year's numbers, which which
were indicative of coming out of COVID still and not
(06:11):
having any real releases. We had fewer releases, and we
did worse this year than last year, and we were
an upward trajectory to your point, coming out of COVID,
where it seemed like movies were having an upswing. Let
me give you some numbers to be specific. Twenty twenty
four total growth for all movies domestically was eight point
(06:33):
five billion, and they were six hundred and seventy seven
movies released. Where now in September, which is the last
quarter of the year, and we haven't even hit six
billion for total gross. All that money, most of that
money needs to come from the summer, so it's not
like it's going to make up another two point six
(06:53):
billion dollars between now and December thirty. First, there aren't
any movies to bring in that type of of revenue,
and also fewer total releases. We're not going to have
another two hundred and twenty one.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Movies released domestically between now and the end of the
calendar year, so that means fewer movies, lower total gross.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
That's a down year for the movie industry.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
All we talk often about the impending end of movie
theaters as we know it. This is another step in
that direction.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I would say, Unfortunately, I don't think those fancy popcorn
buckets are going to save them.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, And that's the problem. You have the fancy popcorn buckets.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You're selling everything except the movie you're trying to but
we know we can get the movie at home. Eventually,
I went and got tickets to see Tron today this afternoon.
I thought there was going to be sold out Imax,
right because it's coming on Imax, all the big ads.
When I went to the prime Imax scream, it would
(07:58):
have been after work on the Friday, I think September
tenth or whatever, or the twelve thirteen, whatever day is
coming out, coming out of October. I got tickets for
that Friday after the show, and I was the only
person who had bought tickets at four pm, the only
person who bought two tickets to the Imax screening.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
That does not.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I should have looked at that and been like, man,
Friday is sold out, I'm as to see its Saturday. No,
theater was empty, and this is this is the one
we go through, this is the Bourbon Imax.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It was empty, not a single seat. Soul movies, unfortunately,
are not the event.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
The event scheduling that it used to be, where it's like,
we have to see this, We have to see it
the first night we have, you know, because you know
we have to see it for everyone else.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's not like that anymore, but.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But it is when you think about streaming, because everyone's
clamoring to see Alien Earth, this ladycy In episode before
it gets spoiled. We're all trying to clamor to hurry
up and see X Y and Z series that drops.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
You gotta see Peter Baker. We don't have to take
time out of our day.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It'll be there, you know, when I get home and
watch Peacemaker tonight, it'll be there. I don't need to
schedule a time at nine o'clock to have to drive
my ass to the theater to see it.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And that's where the movie box office, that's where films
are or are these big releases are suffering because we
rather watch it at home. I think that Conjuring movie
that's coming out this weekend is going to make some money,
but it's not going to save the whole industry.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Mister moo Kelly during the break, uh Twala was going
over what he was gonna watch tonight, and unbeknownst to me,
he had not seen the most recent episode of Alien Earth,
and I had to stop myself because I didn't want
to give away what might be the best episode I've
(10:08):
seen on television this past year.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It is, so it's probably the best sci fi show
that I've seen in recent years. Top to bottom. Was
talking to Mark about it very briefly. He had seen it.
He and I were strangely enough, on the same page
Alien Earth, which is available on Hulu and also FX,
so in other words, if you don't have a Hulu subscription,
(10:35):
but you maybe have Sling TV like I do, you
can access it that way. It's fantastic. It's really good,
surprisingly good for a TV show, and it looks like
a movie, and it's without spoiling anything. It's kind of
me I wouldn't say it's totally a standalone episode, but
it's a flashback that's kind of self contained, and it
(10:57):
explains everything about why they are where where they are
right now.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
This episode, if you fill in all the gaps, because
it's an abridge telling of this portion of the story,
if they did a full movie surrounding this episode. I
would pay good money to see it in theaters. It's
cinematic quality. And if you're a fan of anything Alien,
Ridley Scott esque Alien, I'm not talking about Alien versus Predator.
(11:26):
I'm not talking about Alien Romulus or anything more recent.
If you're a fan of the original Alien, you will
love this series. It is a love letter to Alien fans.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
They don't just respect it, they replicate the look and
feel of it, the whole aesthetic. I'll just say one thing,
and it's not really even a criticism, but if you
somehow find yourself in that wayland Utani universe, stay away
from the androids.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
They're never any good. But you don't know. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The hallmark of the original Alien is you didn't know
that Ash was a synthetic.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
True.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Thanks for the spoiler, but the movie from nineteen seventy nine. Yeah,
you just spoiled a movie from nineteen seventy nine. For
the four people who haven't seen it yet, I should
point out the new season of Beavis and butt Heead
has started on Comedy Central, and go ahead laugh all
you want. I was nearly in tears laughing last night.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Wait bit.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
They have a new season, a new season from Mike Judge,
the Original Guy, and you can watch it free online
Comedy Central's free online. Wait, dude, you don't have to
pay for Paramount plus or whatever is Beavis and butthead
funnier than from what I'm understanding. So I don't watch
South Park. But is it funnier than South Park? They're
both funny. I love them both. Okay, Okay, south Park.
(12:47):
I watched the most recent epithet episode. They give no fs.
They the stuff that they're doing.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I cannot believe that they They just signed this billion
dollar deal, so they know that they have a lot
more leverage than just about any other creator out there.
But the stuff that they're doing is unconscionable, the visual gags,
the vulgarity is I only saw the first episode. I'm
(13:17):
I guess three behind, but the first one was outrageous.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The fourth one puts the first one to shame as
far as outrageous.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Okay, I'm gonna have to see that when I get home.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I can't even talk about what they show, what they do, well.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Let me put it this way. The show has been criticized,
obviously by the Trump administration, and they were criticized specifically
because they had this bit in the first episode, which
you have seen, in which President Trump is supposedly in
this relationship with Satan. There was a criticism from the
(13:54):
Trump administration and some other entities depicting Donald Trump in
a relation and shape with Satan. In response to that,
South Park tripled down on it.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
That's all I can say.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I have never seen anything like this on TV in
any form or fashion.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And those guys did that, the South Park guys when
the ink on their hugely lucrative deal had just dried.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Just when they're like, we're safe now, we can do
anything and nobody can touch us.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Wow, oh twala. I talked about it in our nerd
chat you have. You don't need to see anything beforehand.
You can just go to the most recent episode of
South Park. I'm not gonna preface it with anything. It's
just I can't All I can say is I can't
believe they actually did this on TV. Where is South Park? Like,
(14:50):
what network is?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It is?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Comedy Central? Comedy Central. It's Comedy Central, and it's it's
it's incredible. And you can make your own value judgment
on the messages that they're trying to send.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
But I've never seen any takedown like this. It's satire.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
We've always made fun of all authority figures, all politicians.
Nobody should be immune, no one's immune, but no one
has ever gone this far. I mean, if they're if
they're triple downing, I mean, that's that's a lot. I've
only seen doublin.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Nevermind, all I can say I see it, will come
back and compare notes.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
It's so filthy. We can't really go into any detail
on the air.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It is so vulgar. It is so vulgar. It's Later
with bo Kelly. I'm going to talk to you off
air then we can have a real conversation. We're freshly vulgar.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Kelly, It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
We were mentioning the show Peacemaker because guests and now
friend of the program, Nah Lee, who plays Judo Master.
His episode dropped on HBO Max as part of peace
Maker season two about thirty minutes ago. So if you
enjoyed that interview, and I hope you did, you'd be
able to see him in his full Judo Master glory
(16:17):
tonight and as soon as i get home, that's the
first thing I'm going to be putting on. Cannot wait.
Some people were trying to tell me about the episodes,
like no, don't tell me, don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I have to see it for myself, so you know it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Should be over the top as that series is in twelve.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
We know what you're watching, Tony. What are you watching
right about now?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I've been watching document again Steph with Stern pinball because
just because I'm trying to get a pinball machine, so
I've been watching like.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh wait, wait, wait, you have like five pinball machines already,
but I need the Godzilla one, which Godzilla is a
Japanese or American.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh, it's proper Japanese.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Toho has the music, and then like a Mecca Godzilla
that like catches the ball.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
How many pinball and stand up arcade machines do you
have in your house?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Mind you two pinball they're both Veri olds is thedaity
a Jurassic Park and a Shadow again that they're very old.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
They're from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
And then a bunch of arcade one up cabinets are
their their emulator cabinets, but then a few of those
ten I think.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, explain the emulator for those who don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It's a reproduction of the original that doesn't cost as much,
significantly less, but still has authentic controls and stuff like that,
so they you stand up at it. It plays correctly,
but it's it is not with a CRT, you know.
It's a modern LC.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, you actually don't need that whole console to play,
not anymore because those are very Those are very hard
to get and very hard to keep working.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
What because they're old? What do they go for now?
Usually the original ones? Yes, oh easily, you're talking a
thousand and two thousand apiece. Easily if you're lucky. And
then you're him in various states of the water damage
because they were in arcades. Man, they were beat up.
That was forty years ago in some cases. So mine
are fun. But the pinball are both of those that
(18:12):
are original from the nineties, and they're cool. One of
the best jobs I had.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was freshman year in college, but I was home
from college working at the Llama Mall in Aladdin's Castle,
which was arcade.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Oh yeah, and talk about popular.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I was pretty popular back then because I had the
key to all the games.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
We could play as much as we.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Get a couple of clicks over, Yeah, I get some
free plays.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Games were expensive, were they were? They were on average
fifty cents per play. Back when they went to fifty cents,
that was I was mad.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was mad because most games, only a select few
were fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Dragons a dollar, yeah, it was yeah, it was a dollar.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It was a dollar. Was like no, and I never
was able to finish. That's a game I had that one.
It was Don Bluth. If I'm not Don Bluth, he
had to that did Space Ace?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, Now, for those who don't know, Daniel put up
a put up a little bit of Dragons Layer from
I think about nineteen eighty seven. It was one of
the first choose your own adventure games. If you move
the joystick right or left and you would either pass
the test or not.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But it was animated.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It was literally a laser just player in the machine
is what it was, and you were basically just clicking
to chapters.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, and it had you know, if you push up,
then this would happen. If you push left and that
would happen, and so he died and you could time it.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It was all timing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was all timing, and it was It was a
really revolutionary game for its time.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Beautiful, but it didn't catch on. No that's not it.
No that's not it. No, No, that's not it. It's
an animated like cartoon dragons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It literally looked like a cartoon, an old school.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
He was a Disney animator. Yes, it was, and it
was amazing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I always went into that door where I fell into
the pot of the green, yeah, bubbling oil and just melted.
And yeah, I always swing it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's dragons Layer, and yeah, we was spent big money
playing that game.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I just would watch other people play it. That was
all I could do. I'd like live back Heresy through
other people.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
We had always like a crowd of people crowding around
the console and there was always one guy who was
good at it.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
And it's a lot of Some of them had like
the TV on top, so you could you could, you
could everyone could see short people like me.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
But how far have you gotten now that you Oh
I've beaten it now? Wow, major brag when you have
a limited credits.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Wow, that's impressive because I don't know about you guys,
but I never got further than like the first couple
of scenarios before I fell down a crevice or got
torched by a dragon or something.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The dragon bottle at the end is intense, intense.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I need to just go look it up because I
never watch it. I never got to the end. I
was never This scene is greaty and I couldn't spend
all that money that other people were.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh nobody's a good yeah, good time, so real good times.
The pinball is fun too, So you have about maybe
ten games at.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
All ten of the cap I said, There are the
emulator cabinets, and then well then I got also a
silver strike bowling. I just got my hands on broken
and fixed it, which is cool. It's like a track
ball like the people who did Golden Tea. They did
a bowling one fantastic. And then you have a big
screen and everything that I put just put a forty
three inch TV on it because it's a pedestal so
(21:36):
it just eats any TV and it works.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
And then the light guns set up to run Time
Crisis on and how old are you? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Twenty five. Yeah, sure, let's go with that. You're never
too old for fun. Yeah, you are a house full
of fun. No, no, you're never too old, Tony, You're
never too old.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I mean, have you seen the rest of my house
through pictures? You've shown us pictures.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You gotta give Daniel a picture just like your your
game room so we can put that. Oh, my warlord's
table is really cool too. You got anything you can
give to Daniel? Attention waste? I don't give away anything.
I'm a hoarder, not give give just a representation, that's
all right. Yeah, it's just a picture, of course, not
(22:25):
picture address give of my game paradise.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I give nothing. We'll check in with George Norton when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Mister Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Coming up in just a few moments will be George
Norris am and he joins me right now, good evening.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
My friend, mister Kelly. How are you? I'm doing well?
How about yourself?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Great?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
We're going to talk about Biblical Proper three for a
couple hours and later on UF. Thank you Wady, Yes, yes,
I told my producer Tom.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
We're doing that from O Kelly, aren't you anyone stop it?
Damn right. It better be for me and only me.
I'm jealous like that, not only you, but you're a
big part of it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'll take it. I'll take it anyway I can get it.
Have a great show up for itd see you. And
just to let you know, if you didn't hear at
the beginning of this show, we will not be on tomorrow,
or we may have like maybe forty five minutes of
show because we will be preempted by the Chargers. The
Chargers are kicking off their season tomorrow. Game is on
(23:40):
a Friday, as opposed to a Sunday customarily in which
most NFL teams play, So the game I believe starts
at five o'clock. They'll have an hour of pregame. Game
is five o'clock to five fifteen or something that should start.
It should go about three hours, and then they'll have
an hour of postgame show and then we may have
(24:01):
some best stuff to play for like forty five minutes.
So in truth, we're really not going to be on
tomorrow night. So if you tune in at seven o'clock
and you don't hear us, and you hear the Chargers
play by play. That's why. And I love football, it's
just so happens that it's getting in the way of
what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
You know, just let you know.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And also on the fifteenth of September, we will be
completely preempted due to the Chargers. Yes, Mark, that impacts
you as well. Oh, I'll be here tomorrow night. No no, no, no,
I'm saying yeah, tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But I'm saying on the fifteenth, when we're preempted, you
won't be doing any news.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
What day of the week is that. That's a Monday,
Monday night football? I see.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, So in other words, a week from Monday will
also be preempted.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
May need to take a three day weekend. That's what
I'm going to do. You got to get caught up
on at Terminal List show.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Mo.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I started the first episode with Taylor Kitsch and I
like him as an actor.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I like that franchise.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
If you don't know the Terminal List, they do it
a prequel to the Chris Pratt portion of the show.
You get to go back and see some of the
preceding events. And I'm not really big on prequels, but
I'm big on this show. And franchise, so I want
to try to binge it this weekend and get through
all of it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I haven't seen the original since it came out whenever
that was, but I feel like I'm liking this one
much better than the original, and it's got much less
nonsense and Taylor Kitsch is the focus of it and
not so much Chris Pratt at all.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It's just straightforward. They drop you into the action and
it just keeps going. That's why I like about it.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, I mean, you know, this kind of special ops
stuff is just crack for any dude, stereotypical dude.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yep, yep. Can't get enough of it, cannot get an
off of it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
They've also got Tom Hopper, who who was the big
guy from the Umbrella Academy and he was in that
Black sales Pirate show too, and he's one of the
operators in this and he's pretty good in an action show.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
His career is blossoming.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'm seeing more and more of him relative to the
rest of the Umbrella Academy cast. It seems like he's
working the most.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I want to see him in more action stuff because
he looks like a giant, like he's formidable. I think
he's like six'. Three If i'm not, mistaken he's a taller. Dude,
yeah and the show's really well. DONE i mean they
start off you've only seen the first, episode but they
start off where they're all In navy, SEALS i. Guess
(26:42):
but they move on out of the service and become private,
contractors and that's where it gets.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Interesting the, operators the. Operator, yes.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Absolutely is there anything else that you've been looking, at
mark or is on your?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
List?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Oh tons of. STUFF i found this amazing old. Show you,
know you'll look for shows and then suddenly out of
nowhere after they've never been available on video or streaming
OR vhs OR, dvd and they'll just pop up on a.
STREAMER i found this old western from nineteen sixty eight
Called The. Outcasts it only ran one season and it
was a pretty edgy show for nineteen sixty. Eight it's
(27:16):
Got Don murray as the star and a then Unknown
Otis young in. It it is something. Else if you've
never heard of, this it's on The roku. Channel it
is worth watching BECAUSE i said it's edgy for nineteen sixty,
eight it's edgy for twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Five we're living in such a golden era where you
have all this content and it's also. Available some of
it is like On roku or to be where it's.
Free you have to watch the, ads but it's, free
and there's just so much that's available for. You when
(27:52):
people say there's nothing ON, tv then you're not trying hard.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Enough you'll be able to find something if you know
where to. Look, oh streaming as a gold mine right.
Now we talk about two b all the. Time this
is such a great show and it really addresses head.
On nineteen sixty, eight if you, remember was pretty much
the apex of the civil rights. Era, Yep and they
just dive right into these issues with some language we
(28:15):
wouldn't see ON tv.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Today, well all.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Of the late nineteen sixties and nineteen, seventies it seems
like that that was on a different earth because they
said certain, Things they use certain language that would never ever.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Be used again ON.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Tv, yeah these guys play a pair of bounty, hunters one,
black one, white and they have assorted. Adventures and this
might come as a shock to, you but in the
Post Civil, war being a black bounty hunter wasn't the
easiest gig on. Earth what, really no, Kidding we got
to get out of.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Here we'll kind of see, tomorrow not, really but we'll
catch up with you On. Monday most. DEFINITELY i am six.
Forty we live everywhere in The iHeartRadio APP
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I AND kosthd Two Los, Angeles Orange county more, stimulating
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Later with Mo Kelly Live everywherey iHeartRadio app. Summer
is over for all intents and purposes. Summer is over.
When you talk about movies. That is a sad time,
if you will, for movie theaters.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because the big movies, the tent pole franchises, the things
which puts people in seats week after week after week,
that period has come to an end, and it signifies
the beginning of a very slow period for most movie theaters.
I would say all the way through until about February.
(00:43):
Now there's some obviously some holiday releases that people may
be interested in, but the big movies is done for
quite some time until closer to March and April. So
movie theaters they look to the summer blockbusters or the
summer more generally as an indicator of how strong their
(01:03):
business is or how well it is doing. And if
you look at just the raw numbers, it was not
a great summer. It was off to a great start
in advance of like the Fourth of July movies, I
should say the July movies like Fantastic Four, and also Superman,
but they did not deliver the box office numbers that
(01:27):
were originally expected or hoped for now twalla nine. We
disagree as far as expectations and whether certain expectations were met,
but I can say confidently that no summer blockbuster was
a runaway hit. The billion dollar mark for me and
I think most movie studios is the threshold.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The closest movie was Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know, the fifty first movie in the series,
which was more a hit overseas numbers wise than it
was domestically. There were a couple of surprises. I mean,
no one thought that the Little Alien movie was gonna
be a billion dollar.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Film Leel one Stitch. Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I think that kind of counterbalanced the other movies would
should not do as well. In other words, if the
summer had a Fantastic Four which did seven eight hundred million,
and Superman, which did eight hundred million or closer to
a billion, the perception of the summer overall, I think
would have been very different.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think that this summer there were no there were
no films that I think overall overall anyone was necessarily
looking forward to. And and I say that because other
people are like, but Fantastic Four and Superman, I say,
please understand, this is the unteemed bite at the Apple.
(02:47):
For Fantastic Four, I had Superman and Superman, Superman Beyond Beyond,
because Superman has had several films and several television shows
behind it, some that were loved, so there were hate
So there's a lot more going against a Superman and
a Fantastic Four for a market that was already screaming
for something new. Superman and Fantastic Four, to be fair,
(03:11):
neither of those are new. When you have something like
f one that does very very good, that's like wow,
but it also did very very good international internationally. How
to Tear In Your Dragon right did very How to
Train Your Dragon should not do better than Superman. That's
what I was seeing when you look at you like wow,
like what is happening? And even the damn Roadblocks movie.
(03:36):
That movie didn't shame Busters. That movie was humongous. But
it's something that I think that something we've talked about
in all fairness, but all the films that did exceptionally
well were original films, you know, based on even though
Roadblocks is a very popular video game, doing a film
(03:58):
based on that and it successful. Wow, that's a hit.
Another race car movie. No one thought in a million
years if one would do good. No, I mean, just
think about how hYP we were for the Mission Impossible film.
That film didn't do anything. People literally forgot it came out. Well,
it also expectations.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think it's still brought in more than a half
a billion dollars, but the expectations were such since it
was the last one in the series, that it was
going to do something closer to a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
At least to your point with the Superman film, that
it would at least do better than the film that
preceded it. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, Now don't sleep on weapons.
That was a surprise hit that then cost something like
thirty eight million bucks and it's made about two hundred
and forty million worldwide.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, but we're talking multipliers here, and as far as
tipping the balance for a summer season, whether it's going
to be great or not, you need the big movies
to do well to pull their weight, and then you
need to have the surprise hits.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Is in addition, well, I think to Walla's problem with
Superman is that he was more of a Dean Kine fan. No, no,
because I like my Superman to be able to climb
over walls.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I see, are you referring to that ice obstacle training course?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Now, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Referring to the Lewis and Clark series. That's all. That's nothing. Look,
I mean when I hear that, I hear.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Is a old, played out actor struggling to get through
an obstacle course. And I laugh because you're Superman and
that should happen. But that is also indicative of the
dismal box office, because your hopes war for someone like
that to do exceptionally well getting over a simple obstacle course,
not to struggle mightily.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
The box office struggled mightily. Well.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I wish it had done better, but it was still
successful enough that it's getting a sequel.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, No, I mean I'm not talking about supermow on.
I mean we're talking about the summer box office. We
needed those of us who are film goers and movie
level We needed this summer box office to be stellar,
not come in lower than last year's numbers, which which
were indicative of coming out of COVID still and not
(06:11):
having any real releases. We had fewer releases, and we
did worse this year than last year, and we were
an upward trajectory to your point, coming out of COVID,
where it seemed like movies were having an upswing. Let
me give you some numbers to be specific. Twenty twenty
four total growth for all movies domestically was eight point
(06:33):
five billion, and they were six hundred and seventy seven
movies released. Where now in September, which is the last
quarter of the year, and we haven't even hit six
billion for total gross. All that money, most of that
money needs to come from the summer, so it's not
like it's going to make up another two point six
(06:53):
billion dollars between now and December thirty. First, there aren't
any movies to bring in that type of of revenue,
and also fewer total releases. We're not going to have
another two hundred and twenty one.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Movies released domestically between now and the end of the
calendar year, so that means fewer movies, lower total gross.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
That's a down year for the movie industry.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
All we talk often about the impending end of movie
theaters as we know it. This is another step in
that direction.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I would say, Unfortunately, I don't think those fancy popcorn
buckets are going to save them.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, And that's the problem. You have the fancy popcorn buckets.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You're selling everything except the movie you're trying to but
we know we can get the movie at home. Eventually,
I went and got tickets to see Tron today this afternoon.
I thought there was going to be sold out Imax,
right because it's coming on Imax, all the big ads.
When I went to the prime Imax scream, it would
(07:58):
have been after work on the Friday, I think September
tenth or whatever, or the twelve thirteen, whatever day is
coming out, coming out of October. I got tickets for
that Friday after the show, and I was the only
person who had bought tickets at four pm, the only
person who bought two tickets to the Imax screening.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
That does not.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I should have looked at that and been like, man,
Friday is sold out, I'm as to see its Saturday. No,
theater was empty, and this is this is the one
we go through, this is the Bourbon Imax.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It was empty, not a single seat. Soul movies, unfortunately,
are not the event.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
The event scheduling that it used to be, where it's like,
we have to see this, We have to see it
the first night we have, you know, because you know
we have to see it for everyone else.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's not like that anymore, but.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But it is when you think about streaming, because everyone's
clamoring to see Alien Earth, this ladycy In episode before
it gets spoiled. We're all trying to clamor to hurry
up and see X Y and Z series that drops.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
You gotta see Peter Baker. We don't have to take
time out of our day.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It'll be there, you know, when I get home and
watch Peacemaker tonight, it'll be there. I don't need to
schedule a time at nine o'clock to have to drive
my ass to the theater to see it.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And that's where the movie box office, that's where films
are or are these big releases are suffering because we
rather watch it at home. I think that Conjuring movie
that's coming out this weekend is going to make some money,
but it's not going to save the whole industry.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Mister moo Kelly during the break, uh Twala was going
over what he was gonna watch tonight, and unbeknownst to me,
he had not seen the most recent episode of Alien Earth,
and I had to stop myself because I didn't want
to give away what might be the best episode I've
(10:08):
seen on television this past year.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It is, so it's probably the best sci fi show
that I've seen in recent years. Top to bottom. Was
talking to Mark about it very briefly. He had seen it.
He and I were strangely enough, on the same page
Alien Earth, which is available on Hulu and also FX,
so in other words, if you don't have a Hulu subscription,
(10:35):
but you maybe have Sling TV like I do, you
can access it that way. It's fantastic. It's really good,
surprisingly good for a TV show, and it looks like
a movie, and it's without spoiling anything. It's kind of
me I wouldn't say it's totally a standalone episode, but
it's a flashback that's kind of self contained, and it
(10:57):
explains everything about why they are where where they are
right now.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
This episode, if you fill in all the gaps, because
it's an abridge telling of this portion of the story,
if they did a full movie surrounding this episode. I
would pay good money to see it in theaters. It's
cinematic quality. And if you're a fan of anything Alien,
Ridley Scott esque Alien, I'm not talking about Alien versus Predator.
(11:26):
I'm not talking about Alien Romulus or anything more recent.
If you're a fan of the original Alien, you will
love this series. It is a love letter to Alien fans.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
They don't just respect it, they replicate the look and
feel of it, the whole aesthetic. I'll just say one thing,
and it's not really even a criticism, but if you
somehow find yourself in that wayland Utani universe, stay away
from the androids.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
They're never any good. But you don't know. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The hallmark of the original Alien is you didn't know
that Ash was a synthetic.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
True.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Thanks for the spoiler, but the movie from nineteen seventy nine. Yeah,
you just spoiled a movie from nineteen seventy nine. For
the four people who haven't seen it yet, I should
point out the new season of Beavis and butt Heead
has started on Comedy Central, and go ahead laugh all
you want. I was nearly in tears laughing last night.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Wait bit.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
They have a new season, a new season from Mike Judge,
the Original Guy, and you can watch it free online
Comedy Central's free online. Wait, dude, you don't have to
pay for Paramount plus or whatever is Beavis and butthead
funnier than from what I'm understanding. So I don't watch
South Park. But is it funnier than South Park? They're
both funny. I love them both. Okay, Okay, south Park.
(12:47):
I watched the most recent epithet episode. They give no fs.
They the stuff that they're doing.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I cannot believe that they They just signed this billion
dollar deal, so they know that they have a lot
more leverage than just about any other creator out there.
But the stuff that they're doing is unconscionable, the visual gags,
the vulgarity is I only saw the first episode. I'm
(13:17):
I guess three behind, but the first one was outrageous.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The fourth one puts the first one to shame as
far as outrageous.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Okay, I'm gonna have to see that when I get home.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I can't even talk about what they show, what they do, well.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Let me put it this way. The show has been criticized,
obviously by the Trump administration, and they were criticized specifically
because they had this bit in the first episode, which
you have seen, in which President Trump is supposedly in
this relationship with Satan. There was a criticism from the
(13:54):
Trump administration and some other entities depicting Donald Trump in
a relation and shape with Satan. In response to that,
South Park tripled down on it.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
That's all I can say.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I have never seen anything like this on TV in
any form or fashion.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And those guys did that, the South Park guys when
the ink on their hugely lucrative deal had just dried.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Just when they're like, we're safe now, we can do
anything and nobody can touch us.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Wow, oh twala. I talked about it in our nerd
chat you have. You don't need to see anything beforehand.
You can just go to the most recent episode of
South Park. I'm not gonna preface it with anything. It's
just I can't All I can say is I can't
believe they actually did this on TV. Where is South Park? Like,
(14:50):
what network is?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It is?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Comedy Central? Comedy Central. It's Comedy Central, and it's it's
it's incredible. And you can make your own value judgment
on the messages that they're trying to send.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
But I've never seen any takedown like this. It's satire.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
We've always made fun of all authority figures, all politicians.
Nobody should be immune, no one's immune, but no one
has ever gone this far. I mean, if they're if
they're triple downing, I mean, that's that's a lot. I've
only seen doublin.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Nevermind, all I can say I see it, will come
back and compare notes.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
It's so filthy. We can't really go into any detail
on the air.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It is so vulgar. It is so vulgar. It's Later
with bo Kelly. I'm going to talk to you off
air then we can have a real conversation. We're freshly vulgar.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Kelly, It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
We were mentioning the show Peacemaker because guests and now
friend of the program, Nah Lee, who plays Judo Master.
His episode dropped on HBO Max as part of peace
Maker season two about thirty minutes ago. So if you
enjoyed that interview, and I hope you did, you'd be
able to see him in his full Judo Master glory
(16:17):
tonight and as soon as i get home, that's the
first thing I'm going to be putting on. Cannot wait.
Some people were trying to tell me about the episodes,
like no, don't tell me, don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I have to see it for myself, so you know it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Should be over the top as that series is in twelve.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
We know what you're watching, Tony. What are you watching
right about now?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I've been watching document again Steph with Stern pinball because
just because I'm trying to get a pinball machine, so
I've been watching like.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh wait, wait, wait, you have like five pinball machines already,
but I need the Godzilla one, which Godzilla is a
Japanese or American.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh, it's proper Japanese.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Toho has the music, and then like a Mecca Godzilla
that like catches the ball.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
How many pinball and stand up arcade machines do you
have in your house?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Mind you two pinball they're both Veri olds is thedaity
a Jurassic Park and a Shadow again that they're very old.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
They're from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
And then a bunch of arcade one up cabinets are
their their emulator cabinets, but then a few of those
ten I think.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, explain the emulator for those who don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It's a reproduction of the original that doesn't cost as much,
significantly less, but still has authentic controls and stuff like that,
so they you stand up at it. It plays correctly,
but it's it is not with a CRT, you know.
It's a modern LC.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, you actually don't need that whole console to play,
not anymore because those are very Those are very hard
to get and very hard to keep working.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
What because they're old? What do they go for now?
Usually the original ones? Yes, oh easily, you're talking a
thousand and two thousand apiece. Easily if you're lucky. And
then you're him in various states of the water damage
because they were in arcades. Man, they were beat up.
That was forty years ago in some cases. So mine
are fun. But the pinball are both of those that
(18:12):
are original from the nineties, and they're cool. One of
the best jobs I had.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was freshman year in college, but I was home
from college working at the Llama Mall in Aladdin's Castle,
which was arcade.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Oh yeah, and talk about popular.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I was pretty popular back then because I had the
key to all the games.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
We could play as much as we.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Get a couple of clicks over, Yeah, I get some
free plays.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Games were expensive, were they were? They were on average
fifty cents per play. Back when they went to fifty cents,
that was I was mad.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was mad because most games, only a select few
were fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Dragons a dollar, yeah, it was yeah, it was a dollar.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It was a dollar. Was like no, and I never
was able to finish. That's a game I had that one.
It was Don Bluth. If I'm not Don Bluth, he
had to that did Space Ace?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, Now, for those who don't know, Daniel put up
a put up a little bit of Dragons Layer from
I think about nineteen eighty seven. It was one of
the first choose your own adventure games. If you move
the joystick right or left and you would either pass
the test or not.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But it was animated.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It was literally a laser just player in the machine
is what it was, and you were basically just clicking
to chapters.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, and it had you know, if you push up,
then this would happen. If you push left and that
would happen, and so he died and you could time it.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It was all timing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It was all timing, and it was It was a
really revolutionary game for its time.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Beautiful, but it didn't catch on. No that's not it.
No that's not it. No, No, that's not it. It's
an animated like cartoon dragons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It literally looked like a cartoon, an old school.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
He was a Disney animator. Yes, it was, and it
was amazing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I always went into that door where I fell into
the pot of the green, yeah, bubbling oil and just melted.
And yeah, I always swing it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's dragons Layer, and yeah, we was spent big money
playing that game.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I just would watch other people play it. That was
all I could do. I'd like live back Heresy through
other people.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
We had always like a crowd of people crowding around
the console and there was always one guy who was
good at it.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
And it's a lot of Some of them had like
the TV on top, so you could you could, you
could everyone could see short people like me.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
But how far have you gotten now that you Oh
I've beaten it now? Wow, major brag when you have
a limited credits.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Wow, that's impressive because I don't know about you guys,
but I never got further than like the first couple
of scenarios before I fell down a crevice or got
torched by a dragon or something.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The dragon bottle at the end is intense, intense.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I need to just go look it up because I
never watch it. I never got to the end. I
was never This scene is greaty and I couldn't spend
all that money that other people were.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh nobody's a good yeah, good time, so real good times.
The pinball is fun too, So you have about maybe
ten games at.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
All ten of the cap I said, There are the
emulator cabinets, and then well then I got also a
silver strike bowling. I just got my hands on broken
and fixed it, which is cool. It's like a track
ball like the people who did Golden Tea. They did
a bowling one fantastic. And then you have a big
screen and everything that I put just put a forty
three inch TV on it because it's a pedestal so
(21:36):
it just eats any TV and it works.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
And then the light guns set up to run Time
Crisis on and how old are you? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Twenty five. Yeah, sure, let's go with that. You're never
too old for fun. Yeah, you are a house full
of fun. No, no, you're never too old, Tony, You're
never too old.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I mean, have you seen the rest of my house
through pictures? You've shown us pictures.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You gotta give Daniel a picture just like your your
game room so we can put that. Oh, my warlord's
table is really cool too. You got anything you can
give to Daniel? Attention waste? I don't give away anything.
I'm a hoarder, not give give just a representation, that's
all right. Yeah, it's just a picture, of course, not
(22:25):
picture address give of my game paradise.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I give nothing. We'll check in with George Norton when
we come back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Mister Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Coming up in just a few moments will be George
Norris am and he joins me right now, good evening.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
My friend, mister Kelly. How are you? I'm doing well?
How about yourself?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Great?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
We're going to talk about Biblical Proper three for a
couple hours and later on UF. Thank you Wady, Yes, yes,
I told my producer Tom.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
We're doing that from O Kelly, aren't you anyone stop it?
Damn right. It better be for me and only me.
I'm jealous like that, not only you, but you're a
big part of it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'll take it. I'll take it anyway I can get it.
Have a great show up for itd see you. And
just to let you know, if you didn't hear at
the beginning of this show, we will not be on tomorrow,
or we may have like maybe forty five minutes of
show because we will be preempted by the Chargers. The
Chargers are kicking off their season tomorrow. Game is on
(23:40):
a Friday, as opposed to a Sunday customarily in which
most NFL teams play, So the game I believe starts
at five o'clock. They'll have an hour of pregame. Game
is five o'clock to five fifteen or something that should start.
It should go about three hours, and then they'll have
an hour of postgame show and then we may have
(24:01):
some best stuff to play for like forty five minutes.
So in truth, we're really not going to be on
tomorrow night. So if you tune in at seven o'clock
and you don't hear us, and you hear the Chargers
play by play. That's why. And I love football, it's
just so happens that it's getting in the way of
what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
You know, just let you know.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And also on the fifteenth of September, we will be
completely preempted due to the Chargers. Yes, Mark, that impacts
you as well. Oh, I'll be here tomorrow night. No no, no, no,
I'm saying yeah, tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But I'm saying on the fifteenth, when we're preempted, you
won't be doing any news.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
What day of the week is that. That's a Monday,
Monday night football? I see.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, So in other words, a week from Monday will
also be preempted.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
May need to take a three day weekend. That's what
I'm going to do. You got to get caught up
on at Terminal List show.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Mo.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I started the first episode with Taylor Kitsch and I
like him as an actor.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I like that franchise.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
If you don't know the Terminal List, they do it
a prequel to the Chris Pratt portion of the show.
You get to go back and see some of the
preceding events. And I'm not really big on prequels, but
I'm big on this show. And franchise, so I want
to try to binge it this weekend and get through
all of it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I haven't seen the original since it came out whenever
that was, but I feel like I'm liking this one
much better than the original, and it's got much less
nonsense and Taylor Kitsch is the focus of it and
not so much Chris Pratt at all.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It's just straightforward. They drop you into the action and
it just keeps going. That's why I like about it.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, I mean, you know, this kind of special ops
stuff is just crack for any dude, stereotypical dude.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yep, yep. Can't get enough of it, cannot get an
off of it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
They've also got Tom Hopper, who who was the big
guy from the Umbrella Academy and he was in that
Black sales Pirate show too, and he's one of the
operators in this and he's pretty good in an action show.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
His career is blossoming.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'm seeing more and more of him relative to the
rest of the Umbrella Academy cast. It seems like he's
working the most.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I want to see him in more action stuff because
he looks like a giant, like he's formidable. I think
he's like six'. Three If i'm not, mistaken he's a taller. Dude,
yeah and the show's really well. DONE i mean they
start off you've only seen the first, episode but they
start off where they're all In navy, SEALS i. Guess
(26:42):
but they move on out of the service and become private,
contractors and that's where it gets.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Interesting the, operators the. Operator, yes.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Absolutely is there anything else that you've been looking, at
mark or is on your?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
List?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Oh tons of. STUFF i found this amazing old. Show you,
know you'll look for shows and then suddenly out of
nowhere after they've never been available on video or streaming
OR vhs OR, dvd and they'll just pop up on a.
STREAMER i found this old western from nineteen sixty eight
Called The. Outcasts it only ran one season and it
was a pretty edgy show for nineteen sixty. Eight it's
(27:16):
Got Don murray as the star and a then Unknown
Otis young in. It it is something. Else if you've
never heard of, this it's on The roku. Channel it
is worth watching BECAUSE i said it's edgy for nineteen sixty,
eight it's edgy for twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Five we're living in such a golden era where you
have all this content and it's also. Available some of
it is like On roku or to be where it's.
Free you have to watch the, ads but it's, free
and there's just so much that's available for. You when
(27:52):
people say there's nothing ON, tv then you're not trying hard.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Enough you'll be able to find something if you know
where to. Look, oh streaming as a gold mine right.
Now we talk about two b all the. Time this
is such a great show and it really addresses head.
On nineteen sixty, eight if you, remember was pretty much
the apex of the civil rights. Era, Yep and they
just dive right into these issues with some language we
(28:15):
wouldn't see ON tv.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Today, well all.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Of the late nineteen sixties and nineteen, seventies it seems
like that that was on a different earth because they
said certain, Things they use certain language that would never ever.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Be used again ON.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Tv, yeah these guys play a pair of bounty, hunters one,
black one, white and they have assorted. Adventures and this
might come as a shock to, you but in the
Post Civil, war being a black bounty hunter wasn't the
easiest gig on. Earth what, really no, Kidding we got
to get out of.
