Speaking with host Lou Pate on 1210 WPHT, KOP shares his opinions on movies released so far in 2025. After KOP watched 62 movies last year and almost 30 this year , he highly recommends "F1," especially for the theater experience, praising its immersive racing scenes and Brad Pitt's performance and "Ballerina" from the John Wick universe.
Conversely, the guest identifies "The Weekend" as arguably the worst movie of the year, criticizing its amateur acting and poor plot and a strong disapproval for "Bride Hard," calling its premise of Rebel Wilson as a CIA agent saving a wedding from mercenaries ridiculous.
The conversation touches on a "Jurassic Park" rebirth and the final "Mission Impossible" movie, "Dead Reckoning, Part Two"and how that the "Mission Impossible" sequels can be watched independently, as they provide refreshers on Ethan Hunt's career.
KOP also expresses anticipation for the John Madden biopic starring Nicolas Cage. The discussion concludes with speculation about the next James Bond.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have another very special guest for you today on
this the Nation's birthday. You know him, you love him.
He's a friend of the show, The King of Podcasts,
one of the original podcasters. Over twenty years, George has
been doing his podcasts and bringing it to the American people,
and he has four going on now. He has the
(00:20):
Cannabis Podcast, the Debauchery Podcast, Podcasters, Row Broadcasters Podcast. Welcome
to the show. I cannot keep up with you. I
even forgot the Debauchery and what was it? What's the
total name?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh? Yes, to Pray.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Sorry about that. I don't mean to screw that one up.
But yeah, you are one of the original podcasters. For
those of you who are not familiar with your appearances
here on twelve ten WPHD, A lot of people got
into it later, but you're twenty plus years on, having
just celebrated a big anniversary for the wrestling podcast that
you do. So the King of Podcasts. You can find
(00:58):
a www dot com, King of Podcasts dot com and
on x at King of Podcasts. It's right a King
of Podcasts are at KOP.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I always forget at King of Podcasts, but I'll tell
you one of the anniversaries. Is very notable from last
Thursday was podcasting was made available iTunes for the very
first time twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Last week, Wow, so you have twenty years. Our previous guest,
Jim Hofft from The Gateway punted in is celebrating twenty years.
The nation is having its birthday. It's a good day.
It's a good day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Before We're gonna lighten things up as we go into
the weekend, because, as I liked, he goes to movies
so I don't have to. And then George tells me
when we talk on the phone about movies were good
and movies are bad, and he knows I just hate everything,
so I'm not gonna find anything worthwhile in there. But
we're gonna get to the movies. But before we get there,
(01:54):
I just had one quick thing that popped into my
head George, since we last communicated a few hours ago,
and the did He trial. I don't want to get
too deep in the weeds of it. I don't really care,
but I want to say, you know how I feel
about nepotism and cronyism because I've lost out on a
bunch of jobs to nepotism and cronyism is the reason
(02:17):
the Department of Justice lost. That is because the lawyer
who had it James Comy's daughter, Maureen Comy. She had
no business presenting that case. And I'll bet you due
to cronyism, due to nepotism, a more qualified lawyer, was
more qualified prosecutor was probably passed over because James Comy
(02:38):
pulled some strings so his daughter can get major headlines
and push her career forward by putting this guy in
jail for the rest of his life. And obviously Carmer
being what it is, she wasn't qualified. She's like the
Bronnie James of lawyers or what's his name, arch Manning
of lawyers and just not qualified. So it blew up
(02:59):
in there face. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, see part is you can say that about having
another lawyer, Alexander tell me. But the other thing is
you have the case in New York. If federal case.
He didn't have to put in New York. You can
put it in Miami where he was actually staying. You
could have done it somewhere else because the new work.
I just feel like in wherever the case can be done.
This is a billionaire. If you've got to go ahead
(03:22):
and pay anybody off. If he's got to go ahead
and do any kind of work to get to the judge,
to get to the jury and be able to clear
his name or get the least a charge as possible,
because right now, I mean, I saw what speaks said
about it. I mean, look, the lesser of the charges
where he was made guilty of, he could go ahead,
and even if they got him in jail waiting for
the sentencing, it doesn't matter. He's to go and walk
(03:44):
cree and that's as far I mean, if they got
him for a couple of little things, that's fine. But
he's a the thing that he was never gonna get raportearing,
and there's just other areas that he's not gonna get
in there. The only thing that you got from all
this is in the court of public opinion. Now he's
an outcast and there's no recovering from that public persona
ever again.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And the world knows something he's been trying to hide
for thirty years, as the world knows he's gay personally,
I don't have a problem with it, but evidently he
did because he's been trying to hide it for a
very long time. As fifty Cent called him. Now he's
the gay, he beat the big rap. He's the gay
John Gotti, which I found very fun.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean, I guess bisexual, because I mean he did
have sex with Cassie Will while beating her in the
same process. I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But you know one thing that troubles me about this
is we heard so many stories about a list celebrities
on video watching people be raped, and so much people
being locked in rooms and raped and drugged. And was
all of those media reports wrong? You know, something's not
(04:48):
pasting the smell test here, George.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I know, But Lou, the thing is, I didn't give
about the k the trial. I didn't want to pay
attention to it. All I know is that we went
back from the beginning when we had what is the
FBI it was that went and rated his home in Miami,
in his other home I think of in New York,
and it was Los angelesvidens, oh boy offenders in Miami.
And the thing was the evidence he had and the
(05:11):
all they had was the one beating video of everything
else Where's the other evidence? Because all of testimony I
could care less you if you want to nail ditty
to the charges. You have to have the ledgers, you
have to have the videos, you have to have phone calls.
There's got to be other things out there. It was
phone call and get the head on there. But that's
(05:33):
the only changeable to the jury.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Or you know what it is, George, he is he's
Epstein two point zero. I said that to you in
a text. He's Epstein two point oh. Because who's on
all those videos, all those videos that you just cited,
Who's on them? And that's why we're never going to
see them. That's why they presented this weak case. I
think when they got all those videos, they started looking
through them, and you see.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It for some of those outspoken people that keep asking
for the Epstein's five or.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't know anyone right now that could go into
that Justice Department, FBI and deal to go ahead and
come away from that sesspool there and watch the DC.
You get the biggest type of names that can be
on these videos or in this evidence for any of
those things. When it comes to child trafficking, when it
comes to sexual assault, you're not gonna get those people.
(06:29):
There's gonna be such a lock and so many people
are gonna be that are entrance into those agencies that
will not allow that to happen. So it's not one
person that's gonna come in there. It's got to be
a lot of people to make a change in there.
But that's not gonna happen. I don't believe it will.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I don't believe it will either, and much to the
frustration of me, you, our previous guests, and many people
out there. So it's anyway, onto the summer blockbuses. We're
halfway well, we're halfway through the year. Movies this year,
not so much the summer, but movies so far this year,
the best and the worst movies of twenty twenty five. George,
(07:04):
I'm not kidding you and I talk on the phone.
You know, the last movie I saw, I can't even say,
this is so long ago. Is you go to movies
so I don't have to? What did you say? You
just told me sixty two movies last.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Year, right, correct? And I think I've seen almost thirty
this year so far.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And I'd love the movie house experience. The movie house
experience that I experienced as a little boy growing up
in the Bronx is kind of gone, but it's still cool.
It's just different. You know, you have the big luxury
chairs the lounge chairs, and the screens are smaller, but
the sound systems are better. So I still like. There
used to be a promo in our local movie theater.
It used to say escape to the movies, and that's
(07:44):
what I thought it was because the lights go out,
and now this too many. It's like a half hour
of commercials and trailers. I like the trailers, but too
many commercials. But it used to be escape to the movies.
When the lights went out, nothing nothing else mattered. So
I have to ask you about Brad Pitt's new movie
f one, because, as you know, I live in New
(08:06):
Smyrna Beach. All the twelve ten WPHC listeners know that,
and a lot of that, not a lot of it.
A portion of it was filmed right here in New
Smyrna Beach, and a lot of it was filmed just
a few miles up the road at Daytona Speedway on
International Speedway Boulevard there, So it was Brad Pitt Mania
in my small town for quite some time. It said
(08:28):
free teeth cleaning for Brad Pitt, free yoga for Brad Pitt,
Free coffee for Brad Pitt. It was like, I couldn't
get a coffee in town, Georgia if I was willing
to pay for it, but Brad Pitt could get free coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So did you see F one one? Yes? I did.
I will say this down. You talk about the thirty
minutes of commercials. I actually kind of this time because
they had added it wasn't so much it was around
twenty five minutes for the last year or so before
the movie starts. It was literally thirty minutes this time around.
So I want to say it was about stick your
set trailers and a commercial between, not to mention all
(09:03):
the concession products that they have that also have to
get their own ads in there as well. It's a lot.
It's seventeen dollars now for a single ticket at my theater,
and I think you want to get on one of
the bigger screens, it's like twenty one dollars. It's a lot.
That's a lot. That's a lot of money. Yeah, there's
no matching anymore, no more than Ward six o'clock and
things like that. And then for the seniors it's what
(09:26):
fifteen dollars, it gets not much of a difference. That's
a big price to pay. I understand. It's why the
description for me only works. F one was very good.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You want to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's worth watching in the theaters because trying to wash
that at home is not gonna do. When you have
those Formula one cars. You get to look inside the
cockpit of these cars. Because the same director of Top
Gun Mattick, they did the same thing. You were in
the planes and now you're in these cars, and you
were in there filling all the driving in there, and
(09:57):
the way it was just set up. It's unlike, let me,
I saw Corbusus Ferrari. I've seen another racing movie, nothing
like this. Another couldn't couldn't en compare. Because of the
racing that they had on this and how good it looked.
It was really compelling. Brad Pitt still a standout star.
The guy. I don't know how he doesn't age, I
don't know what he's doing, but he looks great out there.
(10:18):
I thought the casting was good. It was a really
fun movie, a good storyline on as well.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He's just, you know, Brad Pitt's just likable. He's probably
playing himself every movie, and this is not a I'm
not knocking his actor chops, but he's very likable. He
seems likable in person and interviews. But it's just he
just I think I think a lot of it is
he's playing. My girlfriend and her friend saw it and
they liked it. They really enjoyed it, and they had
(10:44):
a different perspective because George. They went on the tour
of the Daytona Speedway, which I didn't go on. You know, Georgia,
I never leave the house. Did They don't say yeah
so quickly, but you know that's true. But they went.
When Tina's dad came to town, they all went up
(11:05):
to Daytona Speedway and went on that tour, and there
was like six of them that went in a group,
and every every one of them highly recommends it. So
to the listeners, if you ever down into Daytona and
New smRNA Beach, Felucia County area, and you have an
opportunity to go to Daytona Speedway and spend a bunch
of hours, they bring you right out on the track, George.
(11:26):
So being right on that track, which is hard to
stand up because it's like a thirty percent grade or
something like that, and then getting the whole tour of
the whole facility gave her a better perspective for the movie,
and she said it was a great movie anyway, even
if she didn't go on the tour, but having been
able to be on the track gave a different perspective
and made her enjoy the movie even more. Now where
(11:51):
there was a laundromat scene, because I actually was watching
them film that was it a Javier Bardem Is that
how you say his name?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, it's when he when he the owner of the
racing team that approaches Sonny Hey draft fits character to
come back to They actually reached together years ago, and
you know, when Harry Bardeni's chection moves forward, he wants
to go ahead and bring him on because he needs
anybody to help him out with the racing sea because
they're dead last, and it's like just worst. The first
scenario they hold they play out the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, that's well, he's talking with him in the laundromat.
That was filmed right here in New Smyrna Beach, And
right next store to that laundromat was a restaurant, and
I believe they filmed a restaurant scene. A diner type
scene because it was a diner, right that was filmed
right next door, and about two months after they filmed that,
and they all they wrapped up and they went wherever
(12:44):
else they were filming. That diner burned to the ground.
It's now an empty slab. It's just a slab right now,
the coin operated laundromat is still there, and right next
door is nothing. It's just a slab because that where
they filmed that restaurant scene is now gone. It burns
to the ground overnight one day. So but anyway, what
(13:04):
so f one is a thumbs up from you?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Do you liked it? Do you recommend it?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
There's no movie to watch this weekend. Officially, Jurassic Park
is a rebirth. It's coming out this weekend. I don't
want to watch another reboot of a rebooth. So it's
not my thing about the dinosaurs. I don't know if
it'll do well, but I.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Was I read negative reviews about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Movies well I wanted to watch. I was thinking, do
I want to go back and watch one another week later?
I'll hold off one.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Are you the type who can go to a movie twice?
I can't do that. I could barely go once I've
done it, You've done it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I mean, there's nothing going on the next week because
of the subscription. I'll take the chance. I would only
do it if I had the subscription, So I'll go
back and watch again. All right, So that's a handful
of times.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What what? But Okay, So it's really weird because it's
a holiday weekend and usually holiday weekends are huge releases
for movies, and they released F one last week and
there's nothing Jurassic Park but nothing really, no blockbusters being
released on this fourth of July weekend. Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well? If because they're doing the thing where they're kind
of like this, they're they're doing a bit of this
stretching out, making sure there's no movies that are trying
to copeat against each other. So while I love dress,
the partner finds a spot that Huberman comes out next week,
and then it's like you have the movies that kind
of spread out, like there's options to watch. There's some
big block uster stew This, an Apostles still out there,
(14:25):
Ballerina's still out there. You know, you have movies that
are available and you know, for those that probably will
go to the beach that much, they're not carrying too much.
But the movies fans like MENI that we want too
new movies. It's gonna be something gonna watch every week.
It's more for people that are gonna just like, will
they go to an event movie, Well, there's a lot
of event movies now if he wanted to go to
the Sport of July Weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Our very special guest. He's a Friends of the show
The King of Podcasts. He hosts The King of podcast
Home of Wrestling is Real podcast, The Broadcasters Podcast, Depraved
and Debaucherous, and Podcasters Row. You can find him at
Kingopodcasts dot com, on x and TikTok, and on LinkedIn
as well. Uh, George Romida, we're talking movies. We're halfway
(15:09):
through the year. Is there any hope for the movie
season moving forward? Because I'm not you know, I'm not
big into sequels and I'm not big in definitely not
into reboots. Jim producer Jim Kelly, and I were talking
about how, you know, we like the first you know,
Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Arc and things
like that, and we even like the second one of
(15:30):
Raiders of the Lost Arc. But once you start getting
into three, four, five, six, and seven, well you lose me.
But mission impossible. I told Jim, it's what is it?
The tenth one? Was? I right?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
What were eight to nine? You know? Now?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What was the name of it? I can't remember the
name of it. Do you remember they don't do numbers anymore?
They try to come up with names. I think, I'm
sorry you. Could you say that again? You faded? Could
you fade away? Could you repeat that? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh? Dead Reckoning Part two?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Dead Record. So it's a it's a sequel within a sequel.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, it's a two part of a sequel. Yeah, there
were two movies.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So I like Tom Cruise. I know, he gets a
bad rap because of the scientology, and he gets a
bad rap because he would like his private life to
be private. Boy, what a novel concept. I like Tom Cruise.
So is this a thumbs up? But what are we thinking?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah? If you watch any of those Vision of Possibilities,
there's a couple of trokes you always expect, and Crazy
stun himself.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I was like, hey, George, wait, George, let me interrupt you.
George could you move around, so you're you're you're breaking
up a lot all of a sudden, I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, it should be better now.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It seems so okay, I'm gonna go on. There's some
things you could expect from Mission Impossible.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Oh sure, there's certain tropes you can expect. First of all,
you know he's gonna do some big crazy stunt himself.
You know that the American gunner's gonna go after him
because he's a rogue agent and they're trying to stop
him from helping to save the world. And one of
his people in his cruise always gonna go ahead and
you know, die in some tavy fashion, some horrible way
to set up for absolutely, But it was a three
(17:22):
hour movie. That first hour. I know they had to
set up some things, but like I could have lived
without that. The last two hours real ride, and it
was very well done to the year.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Are these movies made in such a way that you
had to have seen the previous seven or eight or
you can go in there and just say, hey, I
want to see Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning, and just
go in and see it, Like I haven't seen any
of the Mission Impossible movies, even though I like Tom Cruise. Uh,
can I go see this one? Or do I have
to go see all the others?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No, you can probably get away with watching it because
in that first hour they were falling back and flashing
back to so many things to kind of reflect on
Ethan Hunt's career as an agent in all these movies,
they really kind of just play back where you kind
of give you a little bit of a repressure course.
And you know, I watched all those movies, but again,
this is over twenty years. He had the movies, right,
You can't expect you with remember every little details, every
(18:15):
little thing. So they did a good way of kind
of helping you. I mean, if you want to get
into it, you could, and they did.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
All right, I want to move on, John Wick. My
girlfriend Tina loves Keanu Reeves, so she might be biased.
I think she would trade me in for Keanu Reeves
if he pulled up on with his racing team. But
Ballerina from the John Wick universe, what is that? I
mean the female John.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Wick one of the armisists in the role John Wich
in the movie Go Out, So that character, you want
to go see it? John Wick is more than enough
in the movie and sself. But yeah, it's another similar
story to john Wick where it's this young girl that
was kidnapped and then brought into this whole like place
to become a fighter and become another John Wick type.
(19:02):
And she's trying to get and find vildings for you know,
her father being killed and all this goes on. But
then what happens is that John Wicks character ask in
front Ballerina from finishing her work. So that's where every
time everything comes in the end of butt. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I saw the first John Wick movie not in the theater,
but I've seen it at home, not without commercials, and
I liked it. I thought it was good. I like
Keanu Reeves. He's a very likable guy. He's a good actor.
It's not something that's going to prompt me though, to say, oh,
I can't wait for the sequel to come out, But
evidently it's a very successful franchise.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Absolutely everybody's gonna have an affinity for john Wick the
original because of the original story. Your justt three there
is what really sell for that, and every other movie
is gonna be just It's action, action, action all the
way through, so not much of a plot. But that's
okay because we expect that because we want to just
see John Wick. Don't you do with guns? Picking your
money is a butt? You know when it comes to
(19:58):
all the action theme and he always kind of add
something to it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Listen, I really like Keanu Reeves. Any of his movies
he's in, I'll watch. But does nobody have the heart
to tell him that he can't grow a beard? He's
got the worst beard ever. I mean, it's just raty
looking that thing. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I mean, I get it. But it's like he is
his aged pretty well. And I'll tell you what a
guy to have a career that he's had.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Another he had a double franchise, George for him, he
had the Matrix and he and now he's got John Wick.
And he's got a lot of other movies in between,
but two major franchises. That's very rare.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, And that guy had an amazing career. And you know,
and they always see so much good about him too,
because he looks like he's so humble in every interest
of him after the fact, every adjunct in all of that,
it just looks like he's really have You never.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Hear a negative story about him. I read one story
where he bought the whole crew Harley Davidson's and you know,
it's just he's just he's he's got no no drama
behind him. So it's probably probably because he's never been married.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Of him if you're very few and any pictures with
any female lead, any he know, coleeagues or any other
female people. You know, he never wraps his arm around
any woman. He's always been extra respectful. He didn't want
to get pinned for anything at all.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right, and if he shaved that beard, he looked like
he's about twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So but listen on, George. You know me, I like
to be negative sometimes, even though this is a happy day.
A lot of bad movies out there, you like more.
But I'm I'm extremely biased, So we can't go by
what I dislike. You are, you're even keel, you're fair.
What movies don't you like? And it's got to be
a bad movie for you not to like it, because,
(21:38):
like I said, you you give the benefit of the doubt.
What don't you like? What movies don't you like?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh? I sent you my list, so I equally like
and equally dislike Big Time so I could tell you, like,
there were certain movies that I saw right off the back.
I knew I was gonna go in there. We'll give
me be a stinker. So The Weekend probably arguably as
the worst movie of the year, I won't be surprised.
They get the Razzie, what a horrible ask, the per plumments. Okay,
(22:04):
the guy's great musician. Okay, he can hit hits doundtrack
is pretty good. He's got good songs in there. But
is him playing himself basically? And Jenna Ortega is like
this the person's coming in as part of a stalker
type of thing to it. And they give you Misery
meets I don't know, it's a kind of a misery
title story. It's like, hon if you think The Weekend said,
(22:24):
I want to take parts of Misery, I want to
take parts of this movie, and I want to incorporate
it to this And the only thing I've gotten that
anybody ever talked about it was just the way he
pops up or take his character when he tries to
kick her out of a hotel room that they share
together and he's like, get the app out, And just
the way he acts is so amateur night. It's horrible.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Did he fund the movie? Does that's usually have these
what would call him? Wuld you call him a rapper?
The weekend for the for the twelve to ten WPHG
listeners don't know when George is referring to the weekend
he's referred that's the guy's stage name. What is he
a rapper?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Would you say he's Well, he did a few years ago,
he did the Super Bowl hat Times show, that guy
who sold millions upon these valpins. And you know, he's
very big artist. He does very well for himself. He's
made a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
No, I know, in the in the music world. In
the music world he's huge, but he's not exactly a
household name outside of that world.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I mean, he's done some camio appearances in other movies
where he's been the singer, but nothing like this for
him to go ahead and carry a movie. And you know,
you can bring drianothera very keyboard. You're too young, up upstanding,
good actors and actors in But I'll tell you, you know,
there's nothing that was gonna say this movie. It was
just it was it was so horrible. But if it's
(23:45):
almost the only thing I can tell you that was
just as bad was whoever in Hollywood thought it was
a good idea to and say, Okay, they're doing a
pitch and they're saying, what if we made bribesmaids, but
we combine it with Diehard. So Rebel Wilson is a
Kajamic Clai character fading a wedding party from mercenaries coming
in to grab this rich couple of gold because he's
(24:09):
the maid of honor.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Wait, and this is this is the movie. This is
the movie. This is the movie entitled Bridehard, Bride Hard?
Now who who what you just described to me? Who
green lighted that? As they say in Hollywood that if
someone came into me and said what you just said
about the save whenever, I was like, no, not spending
(24:31):
ten million dollars making that. Actually Rebel Wilson probably ten
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well you know what I mean. There was a movie
pitch Perfect, that got a couple of sequels after that,
and Rebel Wilson and a camper part of that movie,
I'm pretty sure. And yeah, so that that was different.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That was different. That was pitch Perfect was a different movie.
Anna Kendrick was in that and a few other familiar faces,
pretty girls singing a little drama. But what was it
saving the wedding party? What was this the right? Could
you say that again?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I can't even the rebel Wolfson is like this coo
agent that is was there as a mint of honor.
There's a whole story behind it. But without getting up
too much, well she does does She single handedly takes
down a group of mercenaries that are trying to fell
gold from this rich family of her who the brides.
(25:21):
The bride is mirroring into this rich band, and that's
the whole story behind it.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Talking about the best and worst movies of twenty twenty
five so far, George, before we get back into it,
Michael Madson passing away suddenly cardiac arrest aged sixty seven.
That boy, that's that's one of those ones where you
you click on you know, you see you click on
your phone and you look at the headline and you're like, wow,
(25:46):
didn't see that one coming. That was a sad surprise, right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Know about that. That guy looks like he had quite
quite a time of you know, a lot of drinking,
a lot of maybe some joke taking. Who knows that
guy probably had a rough life. And you know, if
this kicker goes, I wasn't be surprised. You can just
kind of tell that guy doesn't necessarily.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Pick care of you know, but he's he's he always
looks like he just came out of the bar. I mean,
he's looked like that since his twenties.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
No, I know, but whatever. A lot of people I
got I'm the Friary Beausey's still around. Okay, it's that
kind of grizzled kind of shift. I want to ask
you to sup. So you know how we get a
little bit fatigued about certain sequels and movies to keep
coming back, right, Why is it we don't feel the
same way about Jay's Bond? Sixty years later? Amazon and MGM,
we're gonna start building up another bond. They're already talking
(26:36):
about who's gonna be the next Bond? Who's the next
Bond girl? Why is who? We're never tired of that?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
That's that's a that's that's a great question, and it's
funny you should you should mention that because just last
week I was reading that they're talking about Timothy Chalome
being Bond and I'm like, no, well, yeah, yeah, he's
his name is, his name is on the short list.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He's not British, he can't be. It's got to be
a British actor.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Listen, it's gotta be someone who looks like they're growing up.
Nothing against Timothy Schallamey. I honestly have nothing against the guy.
I haven't seen any of his movies. I hear the
Dylan movie is good, but it's he looks he could
be James Bond's son. I know he's thirty years old,
but he looks like he's seventeen. He can't be James Bond.
God bless him. He looks like he's seventeen. I wish
(27:25):
I looked like I was seventeen. But he can't. He
can't be James Bond. He just he doesn't. This is
gonna sound stupid, but he doesn't. He's not manly enough.
You know, he's not Debonair. He's good looking, he's cute,
but he's backing Kylie Jenner. It must be something there,
but he he's just he's not Bond, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I feel like that kid's give me with the Nick
Hyuta Taprio honesty. The way his career is going he's good,
don't get me wrong, But I think there's other people
that are out there. Aarrant you. The Johnson who was
in it was cracking The Hunter, he was in Money Chain.
He's been a bucket of movies. I think that the
guy that I would like to see next to his
Bond because that guy just has the tops. And if
I had to pick up Bond Girl, the the character
(28:08):
in Showgun, the and I forget her name now, but
anthe why at your name? But she's like the you
know in real can sigarar Showgun? You know there's the
love interest for uh for for you. It's like over
the year watching it that serious. But the thing was
I like her to be the next Bond Girl, and
(28:28):
Aaron Jellon Johnson to be the next Box.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Now when you say, when you say Charalamay, you think
he might be the next DiCaprio, you don't mean that
in a positive way.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know I stand in a positive way. I think
that guy's gonna get as much work as he can.
I think he's the leading guy. I think he's doing
really well from so where he can put it, you
can put it. Listen. He led Dune, he had that
Dylan movie with his credit now and he didn't walk
up like they're giving him storry rolls his movie to
make money.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, he's definitely, he's definitely got a great he's definitely
got a great agent. But he I thought you meant
because DiCaprio, although he won the he won the Oscar
for that one where he was out in the wilderness,
I forget what it was called. He so real aside
from the fame that came from Titanic, you know that
(29:20):
was that that was you know, obviously a great marketing
deal they had going there, and he was young and
he's handsome and all of that kind of stuff. Jack
Dawson and what you have. But it between Titanic and
him winning y Oscar, there really wasn't much. It was
the beach. There was a few movies, but there really
wasn't really much to hang you out on. Charlamage talks
about I want to be one of the great ones.
(29:42):
I love the ambition, I love the confidence in that.
I think, like you said, he'll have a successful career,
But is he going to be one of the great ones?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
What we have there's some good there are some good
actors we have now that are moving the way forward.
Glen Powell, he was in the Top Gun Maverick. He's
gonna be in a new version of The Running Man
that looks pretty good, and I think he's starting to
find his way. And you know, it was also the
guy in Twisters, the new Twisters movie. He's another go
we can also lead up. Then we're gonna have some
leading guys again. But if they didn't have anybody kind
(30:16):
of set up to like, you know, who's fall from
the bullpen to go ahead and lead movies once again,
they don't have anybody right now. They kind of missed
out on that, and I think we're starting to get
some coach that are frobally making a way up to
possibly become something more we need, like leading men. Tom
Cruise is not gonna be around for it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
No, he's sixty two years old or something like that.
I mean that's young for today, but yeah he's not.
He's not thirty two anymore and he knows that. But yeah,
I just I just don't get it. I just I
just don't. I don't see it. But listen, I hope
Charlamage has a great career, but he definitely has a
great agent because he's working consistently and like you said,
(30:57):
his movies, his movies make money, all right. Speaking of
someone wo's getting a little older but is very likable
and he's a nepo baby Nicholas Coppola aka Nick Cage.
Was he the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, Right, he's
basically just I like Nicholas Cage. But he plays himself
(31:17):
in movies too, same character all the time. But he
is he's just making movies now too, because he almost
went bankrupt. Isn't he just trying to grab as much
work as he can because he needs the money?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well? O, why sorry? That it's just a goother actors
as your soccer, they have to keep working. And sometimes
you're gonna go test type movies that are just there
because they're available. You're gonna get the script and it's
like it's puckily a good one, but you've got to
do some of the bad ones to get a good one.
And that's where Nicola Cages is right now. Because he
did Renfield. I forget those other movies he did was
(31:50):
like an old person as like some action person and
this circer movie. You know, I get what they're trying
to do with it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It was just it was long, it was boring, and I.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Man, I was just I didn't care for the guy.
There was no regiven't quality to his character. It's like
I didn't care what happened to him. But he like
withdrew all this stuff, the try to get a surfboard back,
of all these things, it's very Is that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Really come on?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Is that really?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Are is that really the movie? He's trying to get
a surfboard back.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, and then he's trying to go and he's in
Australia and he's trying to get a house from the
beach being built. He's going to divorce, he's just and
and there's all this thing about like he's stuck in
a parking lot of a beach and he can't leave
because his car got stuck. And then he's got these
surfer guys that are like there's something out of the Warriors.
I feel like it's like, okay, these were all terrorizing him,
(32:47):
and I don't know, it.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Was just it sounds it sounds it sounds pathetic. Oh listen,
but the thing is this I Nicholas Cage, and I said,
I like Nicholas Cage I love that movie he was in.
Was it The Regular Guy? I want to tell Leoni
that was a good one. Was about twenty two years ago.
But I don't see and I've seen the pictures and
(33:09):
although he looks like him, Nicholas Cage is John Madden.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You know, I want to see what else canna be like?
That movie looks fantastic and it's like and I heard like,
I'll forget who it was gonna play? Does a Christian
Bill Pling? Al Davis? I forget, But that whole Raider
story is gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
That was the Raider story, is Al Davis? I mean,
this is when the NFL was the NFL. It was
the cast of characters you had. John Matusac was the Raider,
remember him, the lineman, Dave Casper, Fred Blinnakoff. I mean
there there was so Kenny, the Snake Stabler, all being
(33:46):
led by by John Madden. And who was the guy
was a Jim Oliver. I believe his name was against
the Minnesota Vikings with the with the famous pick six
to end his career. It's like nineteen seventy three. It's
a great story. Guys been in the league since like
nineteen sixty toiling away, you know, championships, losing to the
(34:08):
Green Bay Packers, and in the last game of his
career picked six against Grant fran Tarkin in future Hall
of Famer returns it the whole length of the field.
And that's a famous video in NFL films with the
guy running towards He's running towards the end zone, but
the cameraman just locks on his face. Have you ever
seen that?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. But well, I think of the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Do you think of the Holy Roller that was Dave
Casper and the Holy Roller that was in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I believe, right right? I mean, yeah, so fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
John Madden, quirky guy who won't fly takes the bus,
you know, introduced the world to Turducan, Turkey and Duck.
And yeah, I mean the Raiders' story Al Davis with
his Granny pearls on his glasses. It's a fascinating story
and worth a movie. And I just don't see las
(35:00):
Kate although in the pictures I've seen it looks exactly
like John Madden, and it looks like Nick Cage in
a fat suit. I don't see him as John Madden's
jury's out though with you.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Huh, well, I want to say that it's probably some
people behind the NFL, or at least the Raiders' organization
that were probably behind me. You should have some authenticity
to the role, because they're not going to just anybody
play John Madden. But I like the idea of you
put a big character, a big star to get to
get in that role. That's okay. I mean, let's see
what he do with it. I'm absolutely gonna go see it.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I can't think of anybody else off the top of
my head who would be a a John Madden type.
But no, no, that's that's that's gonna that's gonna be
a great story. And it was that, you know, it was.
That was the golden era of the NFL, was the
seventies with the Raiders and the Steelers, and people don't
(35:52):
even the Oilers were part of that, with Billy White Shoes,
Johnson and oh gosh, what's his name? Who won the
high scho.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Dolphins, the.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Ladies and ladies and gentlemen of the great City of Philadelphia.
Georgia Meda, our guest hails from South Florida, so hence
I neglected to mention the Miami Dolphins and the perfect
season of nineteen seventy two, and he you're gonna call
me on that, right? Did I offend you, George?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
No? But you know what, if I wanted to go
in Pennsilodelpia, I get mentioned that, you know, the the
Buccaneers towards the end of that Duff Gate taking out
the Eagles in the nth chimage. You have given thirty
nine and be able to do that and get the
first chance in the playoffs to go far. But yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
When I talk about the Golden era of the NFL.
I was going to get that. I was gonna get
you had you had the Steelers, But I was trying
to think of the Dan Pastorini, that's the name he was,
the Oilers quarterback during that time. They could never get
past the Raiders and they could never get past the Steelers,
and then of course the Dolphins were able to get
through them and they had their not only perfect season,
(37:01):
but they won. They won two in a row, so
I think one was against the Vikings and one against
I think the Washington Redskins. That was when Don Shula
came over from Baltimore and he had lost to the
New York Jets in Super Bowl three. This is like
the heyday of the NFL. And as you know, Georgia,
I just don't like what the NFL has morphed into.
But you know, obviously they're they get a billion people
(37:24):
watching the Super Bowl around the world, so they're doing
something that I it doesn't appeal to me, but it
appeals to everybody else.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Well, well, the Eagles fans, I'm sure they do. That's
some ROLD champions over there, so they're okay.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
They currently reigning champions, so that's well, good for them.
Kingopodcasts dot Com I encourage you to check out. He's
got so many podcasts going that I think he will
something there will appeal to you.
We have another very special guest for you today on
this the Nation's birthday. You know him, you love him.
He's a friend of the show, The King of Podcasts,
one of the original podcasters. Over twenty years, George has
been doing his podcasts and bringing it to the American people,
and he has four going on now. He has the
(00:20):
Cannabis Podcast, the Debauchery Podcast, Podcasters, Row Broadcasters Podcast. Welcome
to the show. I cannot keep up with you. I
even forgot the Debauchery and what was it? What's the
total name?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh? Yes, to Pray.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Sorry about that. I don't mean to screw that one up.
But yeah, you are one of the original podcasters. For
those of you who are not familiar with your appearances
here on twelve ten WPHD, A lot of people got
into it later, but you're twenty plus years on, having
just celebrated a big anniversary for the wrestling podcast that
you do. So the King of Podcasts. You can find
(00:58):
a www dot com, King of Podcasts dot com and
on x at King of Podcasts. It's right a King
of Podcasts are at KOP.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I always forget at King of Podcasts, but I'll tell
you one of the anniversaries. Is very notable from last
Thursday was podcasting was made available iTunes for the very
first time twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Last week, Wow, so you have twenty years. Our previous guest,
Jim Hofft from The Gateway punted in is celebrating twenty years.
The nation is having its birthday. It's a good day.
It's a good day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Before We're gonna lighten things up as we go into
the weekend, because, as I liked, he goes to movies
so I don't have to. And then George tells me
when we talk on the phone about movies were good
and movies are bad, and he knows I just hate everything,
so I'm not gonna find anything worthwhile in there. But
we're gonna get to the movies. But before we get there,
(01:54):
I just had one quick thing that popped into my
head George, since we last communicated a few hours ago,
and the did He trial. I don't want to get
too deep in the weeds of it. I don't really care,
but I want to say, you know how I feel
about nepotism and cronyism because I've lost out on a
bunch of jobs to nepotism and cronyism is the reason
(02:17):
the Department of Justice lost. That is because the lawyer
who had it James Comy's daughter, Maureen Comy. She had
no business presenting that case. And I'll bet you due
to cronyism, due to nepotism, a more qualified lawyer, was
more qualified prosecutor was probably passed over because James Comy
(02:38):
pulled some strings so his daughter can get major headlines
and push her career forward by putting this guy in
jail for the rest of his life. And obviously Carmer
being what it is, she wasn't qualified. She's like the
Bronnie James of lawyers or what's his name, arch Manning
of lawyers and just not qualified. So it blew up
(02:59):
in there face. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, see part is you can say that about having
another lawyer, Alexander tell me. But the other thing is
you have the case in New York. If federal case.
He didn't have to put in New York. You can
put it in Miami where he was actually staying. You
could have done it somewhere else because the new work.
I just feel like in wherever the case can be done.
This is a billionaire. If you've got to go ahead
(03:22):
and pay anybody off. If he's got to go ahead
and do any kind of work to get to the judge,
to get to the jury and be able to clear
his name or get the least a charge as possible,
because right now, I mean, I saw what speaks said
about it. I mean, look, the lesser of the charges
where he was made guilty of, he could go ahead,
and even if they got him in jail waiting for
the sentencing, it doesn't matter. He's to go and walk
(03:44):
cree and that's as far I mean, if they got
him for a couple of little things, that's fine. But
he's a the thing that he was never gonna get raportearing,
and there's just other areas that he's not gonna get
in there. The only thing that you got from all
this is in the court of public opinion. Now he's
an outcast and there's no recovering from that public persona
ever again.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And the world knows something he's been trying to hide
for thirty years, as the world knows he's gay personally,
I don't have a problem with it, but evidently he
did because he's been trying to hide it for a
very long time. As fifty Cent called him. Now he's
the gay, he beat the big rap. He's the gay
John Gotti, which I found very fun.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean, I guess bisexual, because I mean he did
have sex with Cassie Will while beating her in the
same process. I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But you know one thing that troubles me about this
is we heard so many stories about a list celebrities
on video watching people be raped, and so much people
being locked in rooms and raped and drugged. And was
all of those media reports wrong? You know, something's not
(04:48):
pasting the smell test here, George.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I know, But Lou, the thing is, I didn't give
about the k the trial. I didn't want to pay
attention to it. All I know is that we went
back from the beginning when we had what is the
FBI it was that went and rated his home in Miami,
in his other home I think of in New York,
and it was Los angelesvidens, oh boy offenders in Miami.
And the thing was the evidence he had and the
(05:11):
all they had was the one beating video of everything
else Where's the other evidence? Because all of testimony I
could care less you if you want to nail ditty
to the charges. You have to have the ledgers, you
have to have the videos, you have to have phone calls.
There's got to be other things out there. It was
phone call and get the head on there. But that's
(05:33):
the only changeable to the jury.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Or you know what it is, George, he is he's
Epstein two point zero. I said that to you in
a text. He's Epstein two point oh. Because who's on
all those videos, all those videos that you just cited,
Who's on them? And that's why we're never going to
see them. That's why they presented this weak case. I
think when they got all those videos, they started looking
through them, and you see.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It for some of those outspoken people that keep asking
for the Epstein's five or.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't know anyone right now that could go into
that Justice Department, FBI and deal to go ahead and
come away from that sesspool there and watch the DC.
You get the biggest type of names that can be
on these videos or in this evidence for any of
those things. When it comes to child trafficking, when it
comes to sexual assault, you're not gonna get those people.
(06:29):
There's gonna be such a lock and so many people
are gonna be that are entrance into those agencies that
will not allow that to happen. So it's not one
person that's gonna come in there. It's got to be
a lot of people to make a change in there.
But that's not gonna happen. I don't believe it will.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I don't believe it will either, and much to the
frustration of me, you, our previous guests, and many people
out there. So it's anyway, onto the summer blockbuses. We're
halfway well, we're halfway through the year. Movies this year,
not so much the summer, but movies so far this year,
the best and the worst movies of twenty twenty five. George,
(07:04):
I'm not kidding you and I talk on the phone.
You know, the last movie I saw, I can't even say,
this is so long ago. Is you go to movies
so I don't have to? What did you say? You
just told me sixty two movies last.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Year, right, correct? And I think I've seen almost thirty
this year so far.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And I'd love the movie house experience. The movie house
experience that I experienced as a little boy growing up
in the Bronx is kind of gone, but it's still cool.
It's just different. You know, you have the big luxury
chairs the lounge chairs, and the screens are smaller, but
the sound systems are better. So I still like. There
used to be a promo in our local movie theater.
It used to say escape to the movies, and that's
(07:44):
what I thought it was because the lights go out,
and now this too many. It's like a half hour
of commercials and trailers. I like the trailers, but too
many commercials. But it used to be escape to the movies.
When the lights went out, nothing nothing else mattered. So
I have to ask you about Brad Pitt's new movie
f one, because, as you know, I live in New
(08:06):
Smyrna Beach. All the twelve ten WPHC listeners know that,
and a lot of that, not a lot of it.
A portion of it was filmed right here in New
Smyrna Beach, and a lot of it was filmed just
a few miles up the road at Daytona Speedway on
International Speedway Boulevard there, So it was Brad Pitt Mania
in my small town for quite some time. It said
(08:28):
free teeth cleaning for Brad Pitt, free yoga for Brad Pitt,
Free coffee for Brad Pitt. It was like, I couldn't
get a coffee in town, Georgia if I was willing
to pay for it, but Brad Pitt could get free coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So did you see F one one? Yes? I did.
I will say this down. You talk about the thirty
minutes of commercials. I actually kind of this time because
they had added it wasn't so much it was around
twenty five minutes for the last year or so before
the movie starts. It was literally thirty minutes this time around.
So I want to say it was about stick your
set trailers and a commercial between, not to mention all
(09:03):
the concession products that they have that also have to
get their own ads in there as well. It's a lot.
It's seventeen dollars now for a single ticket at my theater,
and I think you want to get on one of
the bigger screens, it's like twenty one dollars. It's a lot.
That's a lot. That's a lot of money. Yeah, there's
no matching anymore, no more than Ward six o'clock and
things like that. And then for the seniors it's what
(09:26):
fifteen dollars, it gets not much of a difference. That's
a big price to pay. I understand. It's why the
description for me only works. F one was very good.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You want to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's worth watching in the theaters because trying to wash
that at home is not gonna do. When you have
those Formula one cars. You get to look inside the
cockpit of these cars. Because the same director of Top
Gun Mattick, they did the same thing. You were in
the planes and now you're in these cars, and you
were in there filling all the driving in there, and
(09:57):
the way it was just set up. It's unlike, let me,
I saw Corbusus Ferrari. I've seen another racing movie, nothing
like this. Another couldn't couldn't en compare. Because of the
racing that they had on this and how good it looked.
It was really compelling. Brad Pitt still a standout star.
The guy. I don't know how he doesn't age, I
don't know what he's doing, but he looks great out there.
(10:18):
I thought the casting was good. It was a really
fun movie, a good storyline on as well.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He's just, you know, Brad Pitt's just likable. He's probably
playing himself every movie, and this is not a I'm
not knocking his actor chops, but he's very likable. He
seems likable in person and interviews. But it's just he
just I think I think a lot of it is
he's playing. My girlfriend and her friend saw it and
they liked it. They really enjoyed it, and they had
(10:44):
a different perspective because George. They went on the tour
of the Daytona Speedway, which I didn't go on. You know, Georgia,
I never leave the house. Did They don't say yeah
so quickly, but you know that's true. But they went.
When Tina's dad came to town, they all went up
(11:05):
to Daytona Speedway and went on that tour, and there
was like six of them that went in a group,
and every every one of them highly recommends it. So
to the listeners, if you ever down into Daytona and
New smRNA Beach, Felucia County area, and you have an
opportunity to go to Daytona Speedway and spend a bunch
of hours, they bring you right out on the track, George.
(11:26):
So being right on that track, which is hard to
stand up because it's like a thirty percent grade or
something like that, and then getting the whole tour of
the whole facility gave her a better perspective for the movie,
and she said it was a great movie anyway, even
if she didn't go on the tour, but having been
able to be on the track gave a different perspective
and made her enjoy the movie even more. Now where
(11:51):
there was a laundromat scene, because I actually was watching
them film that was it a Javier Bardem Is that
how you say his name?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, it's when he when he the owner of the
racing team that approaches Sonny Hey draft fits character to
come back to They actually reached together years ago, and
you know, when Harry Bardeni's chection moves forward, he wants
to go ahead and bring him on because he needs
anybody to help him out with the racing sea because
they're dead last, and it's like just worst. The first
scenario they hold they play out the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, that's well, he's talking with him in the laundromat.
That was filmed right here in New Smyrna Beach, And
right next store to that laundromat was a restaurant, and
I believe they filmed a restaurant scene. A diner type
scene because it was a diner, right that was filmed
right next door, and about two months after they filmed that,
and they all they wrapped up and they went wherever
(12:44):
else they were filming. That diner burned to the ground.
It's now an empty slab. It's just a slab right now,
the coin operated laundromat is still there, and right next
door is nothing. It's just a slab because that where
they filmed that restaurant scene is now gone. It burns
to the ground overnight one day. So but anyway, what
(13:04):
so f one is a thumbs up from you?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Do you liked it? Do you recommend it?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
There's no movie to watch this weekend. Officially, Jurassic Park
is a rebirth. It's coming out this weekend. I don't
want to watch another reboot of a rebooth. So it's
not my thing about the dinosaurs. I don't know if
it'll do well, but I.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Was I read negative reviews about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Movies well I wanted to watch. I was thinking, do
I want to go back and watch one another week later?
I'll hold off one.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Are you the type who can go to a movie twice?
I can't do that. I could barely go once I've
done it, You've done it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I mean, there's nothing going on the next week because
of the subscription. I'll take the chance. I would only
do it if I had the subscription, So I'll go
back and watch again. All right, So that's a handful
of times.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What what? But Okay, So it's really weird because it's
a holiday weekend and usually holiday weekends are huge releases
for movies, and they released F one last week and
there's nothing Jurassic Park but nothing really, no blockbusters being
released on this fourth of July weekend. Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well? If because they're doing the thing where they're kind
of like this, they're they're doing a bit of this
stretching out, making sure there's no movies that are trying
to copeat against each other. So while I love dress,
the partner finds a spot that Huberman comes out next week,
and then it's like you have the movies that kind
of spread out, like there's options to watch. There's some
big block uster stew This, an Apostles still out there,
(14:25):
Ballerina's still out there. You know, you have movies that
are available and you know, for those that probably will
go to the beach that much, they're not carrying too much.
But the movies fans like MENI that we want too
new movies. It's gonna be something gonna watch every week.
It's more for people that are gonna just like, will
they go to an event movie, Well, there's a lot
of event movies now if he wanted to go to
the Sport of July Weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Our very special guest. He's a Friends of the show
The King of Podcasts. He hosts The King of podcast
Home of Wrestling is Real podcast, The Broadcasters Podcast, Depraved
and Debaucherous, and Podcasters Row. You can find him at
Kingopodcasts dot com, on x and TikTok, and on LinkedIn
as well. Uh, George Romida, we're talking movies. We're halfway
(15:09):
through the year. Is there any hope for the movie
season moving forward? Because I'm not you know, I'm not
big into sequels and I'm not big in definitely not
into reboots. Jim producer Jim Kelly, and I were talking
about how, you know, we like the first you know,
Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Arc and things
like that, and we even like the second one of
(15:30):
Raiders of the Lost Arc. But once you start getting
into three, four, five, six, and seven, well you lose me.
But mission impossible. I told Jim, it's what is it?
The tenth one? Was? I right?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
What were eight to nine? You know? Now?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What was the name of it? I can't remember the
name of it. Do you remember they don't do numbers anymore?
They try to come up with names. I think, I'm
sorry you. Could you say that again? You faded? Could
you fade away? Could you repeat that? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh? Dead Reckoning Part two?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Dead Record. So it's a it's a sequel within a sequel.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, it's a two part of a sequel. Yeah, there
were two movies.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So I like Tom Cruise. I know, he gets a
bad rap because of the scientology, and he gets a
bad rap because he would like his private life to
be private. Boy, what a novel concept. I like Tom Cruise.
So is this a thumbs up? But what are we thinking?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah? If you watch any of those Vision of Possibilities,
there's a couple of trokes you always expect, and Crazy
stun himself.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I was like, hey, George, wait, George, let me interrupt you.
George could you move around, so you're you're you're breaking
up a lot all of a sudden, I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, it should be better now.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It seems so okay, I'm gonna go on. There's some
things you could expect from Mission Impossible.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Oh sure, there's certain tropes you can expect. First of all,
you know he's gonna do some big crazy stunt himself.
You know that the American gunner's gonna go after him
because he's a rogue agent and they're trying to stop
him from helping to save the world. And one of
his people in his cruise always gonna go ahead and
you know, die in some tavy fashion, some horrible way
to set up for absolutely, But it was a three
(17:22):
hour movie. That first hour. I know they had to
set up some things, but like I could have lived
without that. The last two hours real ride, and it
was very well done to the year.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Are these movies made in such a way that you
had to have seen the previous seven or eight or
you can go in there and just say, hey, I
want to see Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning, and just
go in and see it, Like I haven't seen any
of the Mission Impossible movies, even though I like Tom Cruise. Uh,
can I go see this one? Or do I have
to go see all the others?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No, you can probably get away with watching it because
in that first hour they were falling back and flashing
back to so many things to kind of reflect on
Ethan Hunt's career as an agent in all these movies,
they really kind of just play back where you kind
of give you a little bit of a repressure course.
And you know, I watched all those movies, but again,
this is over twenty years. He had the movies, right,
You can't expect you with remember every little details, every
(18:15):
little thing. So they did a good way of kind
of helping you. I mean, if you want to get
into it, you could, and they did.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
All right, I want to move on, John Wick. My
girlfriend Tina loves Keanu Reeves, so she might be biased.
I think she would trade me in for Keanu Reeves
if he pulled up on with his racing team. But
Ballerina from the John Wick universe, what is that? I
mean the female John.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Wick one of the armisists in the role John Wich
in the movie Go Out, So that character, you want
to go see it? John Wick is more than enough
in the movie and sself. But yeah, it's another similar
story to john Wick where it's this young girl that
was kidnapped and then brought into this whole like place
to become a fighter and become another John Wick type.
(19:02):
And she's trying to get and find vildings for you know,
her father being killed and all this goes on. But
then what happens is that John Wicks character ask in
front Ballerina from finishing her work. So that's where every
time everything comes in the end of butt. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I saw the first John Wick movie not in the theater,
but I've seen it at home, not without commercials, and
I liked it. I thought it was good. I like
Keanu Reeves. He's a very likable guy. He's a good actor.
It's not something that's going to prompt me though, to say, oh,
I can't wait for the sequel to come out, But
evidently it's a very successful franchise.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Absolutely everybody's gonna have an affinity for john Wick the
original because of the original story. Your justt three there
is what really sell for that, and every other movie
is gonna be just It's action, action, action all the
way through, so not much of a plot. But that's
okay because we expect that because we want to just
see John Wick. Don't you do with guns? Picking your
money is a butt? You know when it comes to
(19:58):
all the action theme and he always kind of add
something to it.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Listen, I really like Keanu Reeves. Any of his movies
he's in, I'll watch. But does nobody have the heart
to tell him that he can't grow a beard? He's
got the worst beard ever. I mean, it's just raty
looking that thing. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I mean, I get it. But it's like he is
his aged pretty well. And I'll tell you what a
guy to have a career that he's had.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Another he had a double franchise, George for him, he
had the Matrix and he and now he's got John Wick.
And he's got a lot of other movies in between,
but two major franchises. That's very rare.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, And that guy had an amazing career. And you know,
and they always see so much good about him too,
because he looks like he's so humble in every interest
of him after the fact, every adjunct in all of that,
it just looks like he's really have You never.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Hear a negative story about him. I read one story
where he bought the whole crew Harley Davidson's and you know,
it's just he's just he's he's got no no drama
behind him. So it's probably probably because he's never been married.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Of him if you're very few and any pictures with
any female lead, any he know, coleeagues or any other
female people. You know, he never wraps his arm around
any woman. He's always been extra respectful. He didn't want
to get pinned for anything at all.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right, and if he shaved that beard, he looked like
he's about twenty five years old.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So but listen on, George. You know me, I like
to be negative sometimes, even though this is a happy day.
A lot of bad movies out there, you like more.
But I'm I'm extremely biased, So we can't go by
what I dislike. You are, you're even keel, you're fair.
What movies don't you like? And it's got to be
a bad movie for you not to like it, because,
(21:38):
like I said, you you give the benefit of the doubt.
What don't you like? What movies don't you like?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh? I sent you my list, so I equally like
and equally dislike Big Time so I could tell you, like,
there were certain movies that I saw right off the back.
I knew I was gonna go in there. We'll give
me be a stinker. So The Weekend probably arguably as
the worst movie of the year, I won't be surprised.
They get the Razzie, what a horrible ask, the per plumments. Okay,
(22:04):
the guy's great musician. Okay, he can hit hits doundtrack
is pretty good. He's got good songs in there. But
is him playing himself basically? And Jenna Ortega is like
this the person's coming in as part of a stalker
type of thing to it. And they give you Misery
meets I don't know, it's a kind of a misery
title story. It's like, hon if you think The Weekend said,
(22:24):
I want to take parts of Misery, I want to
take parts of this movie, and I want to incorporate
it to this And the only thing I've gotten that
anybody ever talked about it was just the way he
pops up or take his character when he tries to
kick her out of a hotel room that they share
together and he's like, get the app out, And just
the way he acts is so amateur night. It's horrible.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Did he fund the movie? Does that's usually have these
what would call him? Wuld you call him a rapper?
The weekend for the for the twelve to ten WPHG
listeners don't know when George is referring to the weekend
he's referred that's the guy's stage name. What is he
a rapper?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Would you say he's Well, he did a few years ago,
he did the Super Bowl hat Times show, that guy
who sold millions upon these valpins. And you know, he's
very big artist. He does very well for himself. He's
made a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
No, I know, in the in the music world. In
the music world he's huge, but he's not exactly a
household name outside of that world.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I mean, he's done some camio appearances in other movies
where he's been the singer, but nothing like this for
him to go ahead and carry a movie. And you know,
you can bring drianothera very keyboard. You're too young, up upstanding,
good actors and actors in But I'll tell you, you know,
there's nothing that was gonna say this movie. It was
just it was it was so horrible. But if it's
(23:45):
almost the only thing I can tell you that was
just as bad was whoever in Hollywood thought it was
a good idea to and say, Okay, they're doing a
pitch and they're saying, what if we made bribesmaids, but
we combine it with Diehard. So Rebel Wilson is a
Kajamic Clai character fading a wedding party from mercenaries coming
in to grab this rich couple of gold because he's
(24:09):
the maid of honor.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Wait, and this is this is the movie. This is
the movie. This is the movie entitled Bridehard, Bride Hard?
Now who who what you just described to me? Who
green lighted that? As they say in Hollywood that if
someone came into me and said what you just said
about the save whenever, I was like, no, not spending
(24:31):
ten million dollars making that. Actually Rebel Wilson probably ten
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well you know what I mean. There was a movie
pitch Perfect, that got a couple of sequels after that,
and Rebel Wilson and a camper part of that movie,
I'm pretty sure. And yeah, so that that was different.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That was different. That was pitch Perfect was a different movie.
Anna Kendrick was in that and a few other familiar faces,
pretty girls singing a little drama. But what was it
saving the wedding party? What was this the right? Could
you say that again?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I can't even the rebel Wolfson is like this coo
agent that is was there as a mint of honor.
There's a whole story behind it. But without getting up
too much, well she does does She single handedly takes
down a group of mercenaries that are trying to fell
gold from this rich family of her who the brides.
(25:21):
The bride is mirroring into this rich band, and that's
the whole story behind it.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Talking about the best and worst movies of twenty twenty
five so far, George, before we get back into it,
Michael Madson passing away suddenly cardiac arrest aged sixty seven.
That boy, that's that's one of those ones where you
you click on you know, you see you click on
your phone and you look at the headline and you're like, wow,
(25:46):
didn't see that one coming. That was a sad surprise, right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Know about that. That guy looks like he had quite
quite a time of you know, a lot of drinking,
a lot of maybe some joke taking. Who knows that
guy probably had a rough life. And you know, if
this kicker goes, I wasn't be surprised. You can just
kind of tell that guy doesn't necessarily.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Pick care of you know, but he's he's he always
looks like he just came out of the bar. I mean,
he's looked like that since his twenties.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
No, I know, but whatever. A lot of people I
got I'm the Friary Beausey's still around. Okay, it's that
kind of grizzled kind of shift. I want to ask
you to sup. So you know how we get a
little bit fatigued about certain sequels and movies to keep
coming back, right, Why is it we don't feel the
same way about Jay's Bond? Sixty years later? Amazon and MGM,
we're gonna start building up another bond. They're already talking
(26:36):
about who's gonna be the next Bond? Who's the next
Bond girl? Why is who? We're never tired of that?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
That's that's a that's that's a great question, and it's
funny you should you should mention that because just last
week I was reading that they're talking about Timothy Chalome
being Bond and I'm like, no, well, yeah, yeah, he's
his name is, his name is on the short list.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He's not British, he can't be. It's got to be
a British actor.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Listen, it's gotta be someone who looks like they're growing up.
Nothing against Timothy Schallamey. I honestly have nothing against the guy.
I haven't seen any of his movies. I hear the
Dylan movie is good, but it's he looks he could
be James Bond's son. I know he's thirty years old,
but he looks like he's seventeen. He can't be James Bond.
God bless him. He looks like he's seventeen. I wish
(27:25):
I looked like I was seventeen. But he can't. He
can't be James Bond. He just he doesn't. This is
gonna sound stupid, but he doesn't. He's not manly enough.
You know, he's not Debonair. He's good looking, he's cute,
but he's backing Kylie Jenner. It must be something there,
but he he's just he's not Bond, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I feel like that kid's give me with the Nick
Hyuta Taprio honesty. The way his career is going he's good,
don't get me wrong, But I think there's other people
that are out there. Aarrant you. The Johnson who was
in it was cracking The Hunter, he was in Money Chain.
He's been a bucket of movies. I think that the
guy that I would like to see next to his
Bond because that guy just has the tops. And if
I had to pick up Bond Girl, the the character
(28:08):
in Showgun, the and I forget her name now, but
anthe why at your name? But she's like the you
know in real can sigarar Showgun? You know there's the
love interest for uh for for you. It's like over
the year watching it that serious. But the thing was
I like her to be the next Bond Girl, and
(28:28):
Aaron Jellon Johnson to be the next Box.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Now when you say, when you say Charalamay, you think
he might be the next DiCaprio, you don't mean that
in a positive way.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know I stand in a positive way. I think
that guy's gonna get as much work as he can.
I think he's the leading guy. I think he's doing
really well from so where he can put it, you
can put it. Listen. He led Dune, he had that
Dylan movie with his credit now and he didn't walk
up like they're giving him storry rolls his movie to
make money.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, he's definitely, he's definitely got a great he's definitely
got a great agent. But he I thought you meant
because DiCaprio, although he won the he won the Oscar
for that one where he was out in the wilderness,
I forget what it was called. He so real aside
from the fame that came from Titanic, you know that
(29:20):
was that that was you know, obviously a great marketing
deal they had going there, and he was young and
he's handsome and all of that kind of stuff. Jack
Dawson and what you have. But it between Titanic and
him winning y Oscar, there really wasn't much. It was
the beach. There was a few movies, but there really
wasn't really much to hang you out on. Charlamage talks
about I want to be one of the great ones.
(29:42):
I love the ambition, I love the confidence in that.
I think, like you said, he'll have a successful career,
But is he going to be one of the great ones?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
What we have there's some good there are some good
actors we have now that are moving the way forward.
Glen Powell, he was in the Top Gun Maverick. He's
gonna be in a new version of The Running Man
that looks pretty good, and I think he's starting to
find his way. And you know, it was also the
guy in Twisters, the new Twisters movie. He's another go
we can also lead up. Then we're gonna have some
leading guys again. But if they didn't have anybody kind
(30:16):
of set up to like, you know, who's fall from
the bullpen to go ahead and lead movies once again,
they don't have anybody right now. They kind of missed
out on that, and I think we're starting to get
some coach that are frobally making a way up to
possibly become something more we need, like leading men. Tom
Cruise is not gonna be around for it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
No, he's sixty two years old or something like that.
I mean that's young for today, but yeah he's not.
He's not thirty two anymore and he knows that. But yeah,
I just I just don't get it. I just I
just don't. I don't see it. But listen, I hope
Charlamage has a great career, but he definitely has a
great agent because he's working consistently and like you said,
(30:57):
his movies, his movies make money, all right. Speaking of
someone wo's getting a little older but is very likable
and he's a nepo baby Nicholas Coppola aka Nick Cage.
Was he the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, Right, he's
basically just I like Nicholas Cage. But he plays himself
(31:17):
in movies too, same character all the time. But he
is he's just making movies now too, because he almost
went bankrupt. Isn't he just trying to grab as much
work as he can because he needs the money?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well? O, why sorry? That it's just a goother actors
as your soccer, they have to keep working. And sometimes
you're gonna go test type movies that are just there
because they're available. You're gonna get the script and it's
like it's puckily a good one, but you've got to
do some of the bad ones to get a good one.
And that's where Nicola Cages is right now. Because he
did Renfield. I forget those other movies he did was
(31:50):
like an old person as like some action person and
this circer movie. You know, I get what they're trying
to do with it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It was just it was long, it was boring, and I.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Man, I was just I didn't care for the guy.
There was no regiven't quality to his character. It's like
I didn't care what happened to him. But he like
withdrew all this stuff, the try to get a surfboard back,
of all these things, it's very Is that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Really come on?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Is that really?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Are is that really the movie? He's trying to get
a surfboard back.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, and then he's trying to go and he's in
Australia and he's trying to get a house from the
beach being built. He's going to divorce, he's just and
and there's all this thing about like he's stuck in
a parking lot of a beach and he can't leave
because his car got stuck. And then he's got these
surfer guys that are like there's something out of the Warriors.
I feel like it's like, okay, these were all terrorizing him,
(32:47):
and I don't know, it.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Was just it sounds it sounds it sounds pathetic. Oh listen,
but the thing is this I Nicholas Cage, and I said,
I like Nicholas Cage I love that movie he was in.
Was it The Regular Guy? I want to tell Leoni
that was a good one. Was about twenty two years ago.
But I don't see and I've seen the pictures and
(33:09):
although he looks like him, Nicholas Cage is John Madden.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You know, I want to see what else canna be like?
That movie looks fantastic and it's like and I heard like,
I'll forget who it was gonna play? Does a Christian
Bill Pling? Al Davis? I forget, But that whole Raider
story is gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
That was the Raider story, is Al Davis? I mean,
this is when the NFL was the NFL. It was
the cast of characters you had. John Matusac was the Raider,
remember him, the lineman, Dave Casper, Fred Blinnakoff. I mean
there there was so Kenny, the Snake Stabler, all being
(33:46):
led by by John Madden. And who was the guy
was a Jim Oliver. I believe his name was against
the Minnesota Vikings with the with the famous pick six
to end his career. It's like nineteen seventy three. It's
a great story. Guys been in the league since like
nineteen sixty toiling away, you know, championships, losing to the
(34:08):
Green Bay Packers, and in the last game of his
career picked six against Grant fran Tarkin in future Hall
of Famer returns it the whole length of the field.
And that's a famous video in NFL films with the
guy running towards He's running towards the end zone, but
the cameraman just locks on his face. Have you ever
seen that?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. But well, I think of the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Do you think of the Holy Roller that was Dave
Casper and the Holy Roller that was in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I believe, right right? I mean, yeah, so fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
John Madden, quirky guy who won't fly takes the bus,
you know, introduced the world to Turducan, Turkey and Duck.
And yeah, I mean the Raiders' story Al Davis with
his Granny pearls on his glasses. It's a fascinating story
and worth a movie. And I just don't see las
(35:00):
Kate although in the pictures I've seen it looks exactly
like John Madden, and it looks like Nick Cage in
a fat suit. I don't see him as John Madden's
jury's out though with you.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Huh, well, I want to say that it's probably some
people behind the NFL, or at least the Raiders' organization
that were probably behind me. You should have some authenticity
to the role, because they're not going to just anybody
play John Madden. But I like the idea of you
put a big character, a big star to get to
get in that role. That's okay. I mean, let's see
what he do with it. I'm absolutely gonna go see it.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I can't think of anybody else off the top of
my head who would be a a John Madden type.
But no, no, that's that's that's gonna that's gonna be
a great story. And it was that, you know, it was.
That was the golden era of the NFL, was the
seventies with the Raiders and the Steelers, and people don't
(35:52):
even the Oilers were part of that, with Billy White Shoes,
Johnson and oh gosh, what's his name? Who won the
high scho.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Dolphins, the.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Ladies and ladies and gentlemen of the great City of Philadelphia.
Georgia Meda, our guest hails from South Florida, so hence
I neglected to mention the Miami Dolphins and the perfect
season of nineteen seventy two, and he you're gonna call
me on that, right? Did I offend you, George?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
No? But you know what, if I wanted to go
in Pennsilodelpia, I get mentioned that, you know, the the
Buccaneers towards the end of that Duff Gate taking out
the Eagles in the nth chimage. You have given thirty
nine and be able to do that and get the
first chance in the playoffs to go far. But yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
When I talk about the Golden era of the NFL.
I was going to get that. I was gonna get
you had you had the Steelers, But I was trying
to think of the Dan Pastorini, that's the name he was,
the Oilers quarterback during that time. They could never get
past the Raiders and they could never get past the Steelers,
and then of course the Dolphins were able to get
through them and they had their not only perfect season,
(37:01):
but they won. They won two in a row, so
I think one was against the Vikings and one against
I think the Washington Redskins. That was when Don Shula
came over from Baltimore and he had lost to the
New York Jets in Super Bowl three. This is like
the heyday of the NFL. And as you know, Georgia,
I just don't like what the NFL has morphed into.
But you know, obviously they're they get a billion people
(37:24):
watching the Super Bowl around the world, so they're doing
something that I it doesn't appeal to me, but it
appeals to everybody else.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Well, well, the Eagles fans, I'm sure they do. That's
some ROLD champions over there, so they're okay.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
They currently reigning champions, so that's well, good for them.
