Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And it's unclear whether the yearly gross for twenty twenty
four will be able to catch up to twenty twenty three,
but twenty twenty four is still ending on a strong note.
If you look at Mowana two, still number one, and
it's crossed the six hundred million dollar threshold worldwide, it's
(00:31):
over three. It's almost equally balanced domestically and internationally with
three hundred million for each.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It is a runaway hit, and it.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Seems like it's perfectly situated in the holiday season to
maximize its viewership. Wicked is still doing well, coming in
at number two. Mowana had fifty one million and two
hundred and eighty seven thousand this week. Weekend at Wicked
had thirty six point four million, for a grand total
(01:03):
of four hundred and fifty seven.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Point five million worldwide.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That's most likely going to cross a half a billion
as well. Gladiator, you know, it's in fewer theaters like
you look at Mawanaitu it's in forty two hundred theaters.
Wicked is in thirty eight hundred and eighty five theaters.
And Gladiator two is the only relatively speaking, in thirty
four hundred and forty theaters. It lost one hundred and
(01:31):
forty theaters from last week. It came in third at
twelve point five million dollars. It's worldwide gross it's three
hundred and sixty eight million, So there are three strong
movies at the top of the box office. It's going
to help twenty twenty four d On an upnote, I
don't know if it'll catch twenty twenty three, but it's
(01:52):
a better sign. There are some six hundred and twelve
movies which were released in twenty twenty four in theaters,
which is more than about twenty five twenty five or
so more than last year, which was under six hundred
as far as total movies, So more movies have gotten
into theaters this year with respect to last year, but
(02:14):
they overall have not performed as well. And here's something
else to consider, just to give some perspective. The year
with the most movies released in history was twenty eighteen.
There were nine hundred and ninety three movies released to
theaters and that year brought in eleven point eight million,
(02:36):
excuse me, billion dollars in total gross revenues. That was
twenty eighteen. The number one movie that year was Black Panther.
We're in twenty twenty four at seven point eight billion dollars,
so you can see how much the movie industry has
fallen off. And only six hundred and sixteen releases so
far this year against the nine hundred and ninety three
(02:58):
of twenty eighteen. They're fewer movies, less revenue to be had,
fewer theaters if you think about the ones which have closed,
and it's still very difficult for movie theaters.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I had just bought tickets to see Craven the Hunter
for a Friday night show. Yes, yes, yes, because I'm
a glutton for punishment, I bought tickets for the Friday
night show.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
At ten forty five.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That was refunded to me with an explanation from AMC
saying we are sorry, we have canceled this ten forty
five showing. When I said, this has to be a mistake,
I went back to go on the website and sure enough,
the Friday night IMAX show. Now, when I bought my tickets,
(03:49):
there was only three tickets sold, so I can kind
of understand, but they actually pulled the ten o'clock show
on a Friday night, which didn't even exist.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
They felt they could make better money with some others
with something else title.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And I saw this past week and I went to
see Solo Leveling Reawakening, which is a theatrical release of
an anime story that me and my son watched. They
a lot of times with a lot of these big
anime projects, they will released the theatrical film that has
a recap of the season finale of the last season
and introduce you with two or three episodes to the
(04:26):
new season, which will eventually be on crunchy roll, but
still we want to see in the theaters.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Absolutely enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
There was only five people in the theater though, But
it came in seventh this week they did with two
point four million, and not a lot of theaters were
showing it. I am extremely upset with AMC theaters. And
I don't know if this is just the one over
there in Santa a Nita. But I go in at
ten thirty and I said to myself, I'm just getting
(04:54):
hot dogs. But I asked my son, you want to
need any hot food? And they said to me, oh,
we are sorry. We stopped preparing hot food a while ago,
and I'm like, why.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Is this theater?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Why is the concession stand open if you're not selling
everything that's on your menu? That right at this point
we only have hot dogs and nachos. Is that the
place where we always go to?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yes? Why? Look? Why is it on the menu?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That just makes me want to stay home all the
more because I'm not going to go to a theater
and not get the things that I want at a theater.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, a few times that I'm going. That's just gonna say.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Look, I don't want to go to theater and have
to worry about will they have hot dogs? For example,
because I like to get a hot dog when we
go to the theater. We shut down the hot hot foods.
What are you talking about? Spoil a hot dog?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I saw eat it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I was so eat Something else I found interesting coming
in number six this week was the movie Interstellar, the
twenty twenty four release. It's the ten year anniversary of
that movie. I loved it, with the exception of the
bookshelf and the weird ending and how Matthew McConaughey's character
was chasing after some woman that we didn't even know
if she liked him literally around the galaxy, and she
(06:08):
was still in mourning about some other astronaut who died.
He left his daughter, who theoretically was the whole point
of the movie, trying to get back to Murph and
then said hello. Didn't even greet his grandchildren and great grandchildren,
just looked in a room and jetted.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
He just took a spare spaceship on a joy ride.
There was just a no one stopped him.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, and we never really heard what happened to Earth.
We heard that Murph figured out the gravity equation, but
no one's living on Earth anymore. They're all living on
some tube. It's rotating in space. Did this re release
have like a different ending? Not that I know of him?
Why I did so?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Well, Yeah, because I would have seen if they had
a different ending, if Christopher Nolan would have listened to
me and changed the ending, then you know, so it
didn't have a bookshelf, then yeah, I would would have
gone back to see. But it brought him four point
six million. That's not bad for just a re release,
and it was only in one hundred and sixty five theaters.
A lot of people turned out. I wasn't one of them.
(07:07):
But Yo, the theaters are doing well this holiday season.
You know, I guess people could scrounge together a little
bit more money after buying all those eggs and milk
and finding some way scrape some pennies together to take
Tiny Tim to the movie theater because there were no
bonuses like it, you know, National Lampoon's Christmas vacation so sad,
(07:32):
so very sad. Wonder did they spank Tiny Tim? They
should have. He's a little app thoroughly and energetically. I'm
sure that's what crippled them.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, that's politically and correct. That was pretty good. He's
differently abled. KFIM six forty one Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we got to talk
about the Golden Globe nominations and all the television shows
and movies that we did not see.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Let's talk about the Golden Globes for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
There are some very interesting and perplexing choices as nominees,
and I'm not so sure about the release schedule of
what is eligible. We'll get into that just a moment,
but there are a few categories which jump out at
me and probably the rest of the later crew. As
far as shows that we have highlighted, maybe had a
(08:30):
guest on extended conversations regarding best performance by a male
actor in a television series drama, check out these nominees.
Donald Glover, mister Missus Smith. We definitely talked about that.
Jake Jillenhall presumed innocent, didn't talk about it, didn't hear
(08:50):
much about it.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I'm surprised it made it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Gary Oldman, Slow Horses shout out to Mark runner Eddie
Redmain the Day of the Jackal talked about that last week.
Hero Yuki Sonata from Showgun, I see that, and Billy
Bob Thornton land Man definitely, Mark, don't stretch.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Up your face until you watch the show. The Showgun
guy's gonna win if only.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, the show's been out there longest and I think
has had the most legs. Donald Glover, mister Missus Smith.
We liked it, but I don't know how many people
actually saw it. Just being honest, got Gary Oldman, Slow Horses.
I don't know how much of the American audience saw it.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
That has such good word of mouth, and it's a
terrific show, and that is his signature role from now
until the day that he dies. He's terrific in that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, I and Eddie Redmain. Even though I like the show,
he's not winning here. I think you are right, Mark, Yeah,
I think Showgun in hero Yuki Sonata is gonna win there.
Best Performance by a male Actor in a Motion picture,
Musical or Comedy. There's absolutely nothing and nobody in this
(09:59):
category I care about, with all due respect, Jesse Eisenberg,
Are Real Pain, Hugh Grant, Heretic, gabriel La Belle, Saturday Night,
Jesse Plemon's kind of Kindness, Glenn Powell, hit Man That
was bad, Sebastian Stan a different man.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
The Hitman nomination just the lower the bar for everybody there.
Hugh Grant was really good in that Heretic movie. Okay,
I would not be shocked if you walked away with that.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a supporting role
on Television. The only person I really know in this category,
I should say, have seen any the work of There's
Liza Colognezias, The Bear. I never watched the show that
my wife watches. The Bear can't tell you. I've never
seen it at all.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I haven't.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
It's kind of tense. You're gonna, you're gonna want to
drink with you. It's really good. Okay, yeah, it's almost
like whatever my wife watches I don't watch.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Don't ask me why that is. No, I think we
can all relate to that.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
But and then also because the Neil Servader work reporter said,
that's probably the most accurate depiction of the restaurant kitchen
that runs that way.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Okay, Hannah Einbinder probably pronounced it incorrectly from Hacks, that's right,
Dakota Fanning, Ripley, Jessica Gunning for Baby Reindeer. I think
Alison Janning for The Diplomat is going to win, and
Calie Reese True Detective Night Country m Best performance by
(11:28):
a male actor in a supporting role on television, Jack
loudon Slow Horses, Harrison Ford shrinking, there's your winner, Harvey,
excuse me, Javier Bardem Monsters, de Lyle and Eric Menendez
Story Diego Luda for a La Machina, and two other
(11:48):
names I can't pronounce.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You want to work through them together? No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I don't want to embarrass myself and have someone accuse
me of being racially insensitive to names I can't pronounce.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Damn it, they'll only remember me though.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Best performance by a female actor in a television series, musical,
or comedy Kristen Bell. Nobody wants this, didn't see it,
Kington Brunson Abbot Elementary, And I say this with great respect.
I haven't watched much of Abbot Elementary. We have a
Cafe alum, lis Ane Walter, who's one of the stars
(12:24):
of the show, but I can't tell you much about it.
But who is also in this category? Catherine Hahn Agatha
all Along. So that's who I'm rooting for.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I personally think she absolutely should get this. This should
be her year for that show. It probably might be
her only year. Yeah, she doesn't have too many starring roles.
Best performance by a female actor in a limited series, anthology, series,
or a motion picture made for television Kate Blanchette or
(12:56):
disclaimer Jodi Foster Chew Detective Night Country. The person who
I'm rooting for Kristin Miliotti for The Penguin. Yeah, Sophia
Regard Griselda. That's some real competition there. Naomi Watts Feud,
Capote versus the Swans and Kate Winsley for the regime.
(13:18):
I think it might be Sophia Vigard might be that
that that penguin, that role was was stellarmaking performance. It was.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She's on the map now, yes, but I just don't
think enough people know about her to vote for. That's
all with a the Forum Press cor Correspondence Association. That's
only that's the thing. Best performance by a male actor
in a limited series, anthology series, or a motion picture
made for television. Who I'm voting for, I should say
(13:49):
rooting for because I don't have a vote.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Colin Ferrell the penguin. Yep, it's a transfer national role.
The prosthetics did have the work. Oh, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I couldn't even remember that was him with the affectation
with his voice.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I completely forgot. I was looking at Colin Ferrell.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Because of the way he pronounced his words, like, oh,
that really hoists.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It was a thick, almost cartoonish New Jersey act.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I did all that, yes, but it was a cartoon
kind of television show. Mark I'm run Burgundy. Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
This is an interesting category that I'll be looking at
best performance by a female actor in a television series trauma,
Kathy Bates, Matt Locke, Emma Darcy, House of the Dragon,
Boo Maya Erskine, mister Missus Smith not gonna win, Kira
Knightley Black Doves, No, Carrie Russell, The Diplomat. And here's
(14:55):
the winner, I think just because past is prolog Anna,
so why show gun she's winning?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
She's winning? How so she's winning? Is that? Okay? Yeah?
Book it? Book it?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Dan O over Kathy Baits, ok yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
This is foreign press correspondence, foreign oscars. I should say
Emmy's Kathy Bates golden globes and a sad even more
than Emma Darcy. Look, don't disagree with me, okayright, go
for it. Don't do that.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
You might not like The Dragon Show, but Emma Darcy
is really good in that.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I hate the Dragon Show, sorry, dislike I hate the show.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Regardless of your feelings of the show, she's terrific in it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Best television series drama, and I think we all can
contribute to this and have a real question about eligibility.
Here the day of the Jackal nominee. The Diplomat mister
and missus Smith showgun slow Horses and get.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
This squid Game. I can't get that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
How can squid Game be eligible this many years after
release that it's been on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I don't remember when it ended, but it's been quite
some time, hasn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
It wasn't twenty twenty three, that's for day. I'm sure
twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There we go. Oh, this contest is rigged. Otherwise it
would be slow Horses. But how is.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Something twenty twenty one in the in the contention unless
they re released it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
But that then it would be a re release. Yeah,
I mean it was on Netflix a good long time.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
That is true. I don't get I don't get it.
I don't get how its qualified.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
The new one premieeres before the end of the year,
so is it maybe season two on a technicality that
they're counting.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Maybe I'm just reading what it says. It just says
squid Game.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
It doesn't say squid Game the next round, squid Game,
the next victims, or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It's just says squid Game, squid Game two Electric Boogloo. Yeah,
that's funny. Only people who know breaking of that. Now.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh, here's probably the most competitive category Best Performance by
a Female Actor in a motion picture, Musical or Comedy.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Amy Adams for Night Bitch. Sorry name again the title again,
I'm just reading the title. I want to make sure
I'm clear on what that title is.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
A bite? Is that the pig Latin? Yes? No, no,
no no. Listeners deserve.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Cynthia Arrivo for Wicked, Carlos, Sophia Gascon for Emilia Perez,
Mikey Madison for a Honora Demi, Moore for the Substance
He's going to get It, SdeA for Challengers.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Promised you, Mark, she's not beating Cynthia Eva. Yeah, I
promise you she's not.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I'm not betting man, but if I were, I would
put no dollar on this.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I promise you again.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
To Mo's point, foreign press, yes she's foreign, okay, and
her performance was transcendent across the board.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Well, since I'm never going to see this movie, I'll
have to take your word for that. But I think
to me, Moore's role was a huge comeback, made a
big splash.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I'm sure it was very good for her.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I'm sure she really just shone like a star across
the galaxy.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
But she is not going to get it over Cynthia Eva.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Her tour already within the foreign press circuit has been
all that is being talked.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
About, How how real, how raw? I'm telling you people
are voting right now. Yeah, okay, we see to me
more on land Man, but only sparingly. I don't think
and I haven't seen like any type of campaign for her.
Those things do matter, all right, You're wrong on this one.
If you say so, you're wrong. I'm not willing to
(19:08):
go to the mat on this one. Okay, it's Later
with mo Kelly, can if I am six forty five
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Now we're going to get
really bad and talk about the supposed best TV shows
of twenty twenty four, according to two Variety critics.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
You know how we just love Variety here on this show.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The concept of a great TV show is really different
from the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties. But Variety, who
we'd like to talk about their lists of I don't know,
the best one hundred horror movies, of the best movies
of all time, and they're usually list compiled by people
born four weeks ago, who really don't know movies at all,
(19:49):
who don't know no entertainment at all, and recency biased.
As I talk about with Mark Ronner, they talk about
things is the greatest, this greatest that, and it only
came out maybe four weeks ago. But here are the
best shows of twenty twenty four, according to two Variety critics.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
They're not anonymous.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We actually know the names this time, Variety critics Alison
Herman and Arami Tanubu or Aramide Tinabou or Aramede Tinabou.
I think one of those pronunciations is correct. You can
choose which. Here they go the top ten TV shows
(20:30):
according to these two critics at Variety four twenty twenty four,
and get ready to groan everyone, Number ten of all
the TV shows we've seen this year, of all the
ones we've talked about and all the ones that we
have profiled. According to these two, the number ten show
(20:52):
of the year is My Lady Jane, Amazon Prime Video.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Crickets. What even is that exactly? And we're off.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
I can't tell you, having been a critic my entire career,
which means most of my life, how disconnected. Most professional
critics are with the tastes of your average person. For
one thing, they couldn't care less about horror films. Like
a lot of the shows that you and I would
just sit down and watch, they have no concept of
and no interest in.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, these are like personal favorites, which is not to
be confused with the best. Here's number nine, interview with
the Vampire amc really really?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Oh wait it gets better, Ron Popiel, but wait, there's more.
Number eight Elsbeth on CBS. I'm not against that.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I'm not and maybe I'm partial because I favor people
who come on the show. And you know, Carrie Preston
has been a guest on the show as well as
her husband.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know her husband, right, isn't it. Michael Emerson still
is still.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Is Oh he's been on twice, by the way, just
want to throw it out there and make you jealous.
Thank you for that. Coming in at number seven, say
nothing on FX, well, I have nothing to say, easy enough, right,
Moving on number six, John Mulaney, everybody's in la on Netflix.
(22:42):
I mean, they're realy, come on, it's just stuff that
they'd like. They threw them together on the list.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This is allegedly the best TV shows of twenty twenty four. Yeah,
they'd hate to pick something mainstream, wouldn't they. Number five
The Sympathy HBO. This is Alison Herman's top ten, to
be specific. Number four. Finally, Tokyo Vice on Max. Okay,
(23:16):
that's well deserved. Yeah it's on the list. I don't
know where I put it, but it's on the list.
Number three Industry on HBO.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, I don't care whatever, it's a soap opera. They've
always been very biased toward HBO shows.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Number two.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Showgun on FX, and according to Alison Herman, her number
one show best show of twenty twenty four is Somebody
Somewhere on HBO. Somebody please tell me what the show's about.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I have no idea, but where it's really bad?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Mark really bad. Her honorable mentions best shows at twenty
twenty four. So it gets worse, Oh, it gets worse.
The Acolyte, Oh, come on Fargo, Jared Carmichael Reality Show,
Mister Missus Smith and Evil.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh, Evil's fantastic. Evil's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But I will much rather have seen Evil on her
list than honorable mention.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh, it should be in the top five.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
It's an unbelievably well made show, and it's just a
war crime that it got canceled after four seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay for rmed Tanubou's top ten. Sorry, I know I've
butchered the name, but I don't have a correct, correct pronouncer.
You didn't put it in the article. I'm just gonna
read his real quick and I haven't heard of half
of these. His number ten is a Man on the
Inside Netflix. Oh that's the Ted Dancing Show. Isn't it
about the guy who goes undercover at the Old People's Home?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Number nine genius MLK slash X national geographic familiar, haven't
seen it? Number eight Joan on the CW. Anything on
the CW is disqualified. Anything on the CW from any year,
at any time is disqualified. It's never on anybody's best list.
(25:20):
Now that that arrow versus dead. Number seven criminal record
on Apple TV. Plus that's a thing. Okay, Number six
one day on Netflix. Number five presumed innocent on Apple TV.
That's to Jake Chillenhall. Number four the Day of the
Jackal on Peacock. They are skipping over a lot of
(25:45):
great shows like No Lioness Nothing, Number three Baby Reindeer
on Netflix Best Show of twenty twenty four. Number two
somebody somewhere HBO. They probably watched it together and snuggled.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Okay, so that's not a made up title in it.
I need to check that out, okay.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
But interestingly, Number one on this list is the Penguin
Honorable mention is going to make you mad real quick
before we go to break I'm already mad. How to
Die Alone Black Doves. My Lady Jane supercel I saw
that was not great. It was watchable.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Fallout. I didn't like Fallout.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I could not get into Fallout, Fight Night under the Bridge,
Eric dr from Detroit and the Gentleman. Okay, I can't
take any recommendations from these folks in variety.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I nodded off halfway through that list.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
And before we leave, we have one more AI story.
We made mention of it and previewed it during the
earlier portion of the show, and it's a part of
the larger conversation that with new technology, and AI is
the latest example of this that with new technology, jobs
will disappear because the new technology replaces the need for
(27:09):
people to physically do the job, and this is a
perfect example of it. Even though it's in its, you know,
early stages, you can see where some service industry jobs
will just not exist in a decade. There is now
a butt massage which will be completed by an AI
(27:31):
robot right here in La This is local news. This
is very important. We're letting you know what is going
on in your neighborhood. It's in Studio City. I used
to live in Studio City. This is personal for me.
I want to tell you about Escape a Scape, the
AI powered massage robot, and you can find it at Pause,
(27:57):
a wellness center in Studio City. It is an AI
powered masseuse. In other words, happy endings, or at least
by ones given by actual people will be going away
and it's going to open for business this coming Friday.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
At Pause.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What happens is you wear a specialized compression outfit. And
this is because it provides like a roadmap for friction.
That's the truth. No oil is used in this massage,
just friction.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Friction will do it.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
After laying on the table belly down, you'll have your
face nestled into a padded cradle like a traditional massage,
You'll select a playlist on a touchscreen and then it begins.
Four high resolution infrared sensors will take a three D
scan of your body from above, mapping one point two
million data points. I'm talking every curve and a symmetric
(29:00):
point on your body. An escape can pinpoint where you
are on the table so it can better target specific
body parts. Take that as you will. It has heated
hands air quote, which look like giant pads with touch
points on their undersides, so maybe like hands with a
(29:22):
mitten on them or something like that.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
There are varying levels of intensity gentle intensity. I like
it rough and choke me out intensity. Wait, it only
says intensity, but there are other levels, I'm sure. And
it is totally customizable. You can do massages like total
(29:50):
back and glutes, upper and mid back focus, lower back,
glutes and hamstrings focus. You can also use the touchscreen
to control the intensity of a massage as it's underway.
You're not locked into one setting. You can increase or
decrease the pressure. You can pause all together. Yeah, a
fully automated, customizable massage experience with a robot.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I like how one of the people that went to
go try it out specified how it's huge, hulking robot
arms reached up and around her torso before beginning to
massage her.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
So it felt her up. Yeah, and it did massage her.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
But you know, I've said this before.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm real when it comes to people touching me. I
don't know how I'd be about a robot touching me.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
It's not a person, I know, I know, and I
don't know if I trust the acuity of a robot
and its sensitivity. You know, just a massage chair will
weird me out sometimes.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
So you don't trust these massage hands as it says, uh, massaging.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Your lower back, lower back, in your gootes. We gotta
make it about race your glutes. Yeah, I don't think so.
You know what if it's gentle, it says it's got
a gentle.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Touch, Yeah, it doesn't sound all that appealing to me.
It just doesn't. Sometimes you just need the hands of
a woman. I don't want anybody touching my lord. You
could probably opt for the female hands on this. You
don't have to have the hulking male hands on this. Yeah,
(31:49):
I'd rather be in a way.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Mo. Is there a shame option on this, like a
don't look at me option. Don't look me in the eyes,
just don't turn over, like I just put your money
on the counter and leave option.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Does it ask you a question at the end, It's like,
is there anything else we can do for you, mister Ronner?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I mean if you sit up on the table. Oh
that's not my name? Those dance to Okay?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, Sometimes this technology is just moving way too fast
from me.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I don't need an autonomous massage.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Can the AI feign revulsion at your body? Can it
give you compliments as you go?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You seem very very firm, nice back.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Now here's the thing though, this is this is just
an autonomous AI robot that's got like, you know, a
robot look to it. As the future goes along, this
thing will get a silicone makeover and starting. You know,
you can customize. You can have Jeannette come down, Blade
Runners about to happen?
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Mark, does she have a fat ass? I'm done?
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Oh she's a brick, but I'm done. Forget the lock out.
