in the afternoon with oh Ginny Webster there And as
a matter of fact, I think, do we.
Speaker 2 (00:12):

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Can we play a clip?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Meanwhile, on the West Coast in Hollywood, the liberal cesspool
of evil director movie producer George Lucas says he doesn't
think studios should let the fans dictate how movies are made.
You know, he's got a good point. You wouldn't want
the fans to come up with something stupid, you know,
like Jar Jar binks.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what, folks?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hollywood is on fire again and not in a good way.
Joining me right now The Official Pursuit of Happiness Radio
Hollywood News reporter good friend of Mine comedian Tim mathis
broadcasting live from wherever he is. Tim paramounts sky Dance
is getting courted hard by Tennessee. The state sent a
nice letter to CEO David Ellison, basically saying, hey, ditch
(01:08):
California taxes and lawsuits and nonsense and come to the
volunteer state. Isn't this sort of the opposite of the
Beverly Hillbillies.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, And it's the trend that's going to keep happening
because Hollywood in LA and California in general, is just
getting so antagonistic towards business, specifically the film business. I mean,
they still give the film business more breaks than they
give anybody else, but it's just not enough when other
(01:38):
states and other municipalities are quarterbating studios and these producers
so hard. I mean, stuff has moved out to Las Vegas,
Atlanta is probably Atlanta's probably one of the places they
film more stuff than Hollywood. Almost everything is moving out
of Hollywood. Hollywood played itself with the pan they make
(02:00):
and how they shut down everything and made it so
hard to work that so many people have moved away
from LA, including myself, and are doing their projects elsewhere.
So I don't feel bad at all for LA, especially
with what just happened with the most recent election. I mean,
I don't know if I've ever told you this, but
during twenty twenty, I had two roommates, so there was
(02:22):
three people in one apartment. I mean, we had our
own rooms, but we had twenty two ballots at one
point twenty two ballots between the three of us of
people that used to live there. They just sent out
all these I could have voted twenty times. So Hollywood
did it to itself. La did it to itself. I
don't feel bad about it at all. I cannot wait
(02:44):
to see how many productions leave that hell hole.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Okay, So I would ask if this was the start
of the great Hollywood Exodus, but like you pointed out,
it's not the start, it's the continuation. We already see
people making movies and places like Atlanta and Louisiana obviously
using lots of shows, movies, TV shows, reality shows getting
shot outside of Hollywood. I guess this is just the
(03:06):
next chapter, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It is, And you know Hollywood is trying to cope,
but it's too late. Honestly, too much stuff has moved out.
And like I said about this most recent election, they
voted for a tax hike, so it's only going to
increase the cost more and eventually anybody with even half
(03:29):
a brain tell and a little bit of money is
going to get out of that town.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
All right. So in the meantime, the comedy scene obviously
still exists in Los Angeles and Hollywood, and obviously New
York City and Chicago, but now Austin has become central
to that, haven't they.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, Austin. Austin is probably the you know, it's not
as big as something like New York, but honestly, I
would say Austin might have La beat as far as
just the opportunities to do comedy out there. LA has
always kind of been the second largest comedy town behind
(04:06):
New York, and Austin is quickly catching up, if not
overtaking La. So yeah, you know, Austin Aten's a destination
for a lot of comments.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I guess you could say Paramount Pictures will soon be
Gone with the California Wind. And on that note, Netflix
just updated the description of the nineteen thirty nine classic
Gone with the Wind. I thought this was a joke
when I saw this. When you pull up Netflix, it
says gone with the Wind, and this is how they
describe it as in nineteen thirty nine American Civil War
epic known for its racism. Then they tell viewers to
(04:41):
search the Internet for Black Lives Matter if they want
to learn more about black lives in America. When did
we decide the proper way to watch a movie from
nineteen thirty nine was to scold the viewer.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, and the irony of this whole situation is that
people are mad. Netflix's is deriding Gone with the Wind
as a racist, And yeah, there are obviously it's a
movie from nineteen thirty nine. There's going to be some
problematic stuff in it. But Gone with the Wind did
more for Black people than Black Lives Matter? Ever did
(05:16):
Black Lives Matter stole a bunch of money, bought a
bunch of mansions, did nothing for the community, absolutely nothing
for Black people. Similar to Barack Obama. I must say,
they get all this ballely who and all this you know, hey,
we're doing it for the culture. You're not doing it
for the culture. You're doing it for yourself. Black Lives
(05:37):
Matter stole a bunch of money from the Black community
and other communities, just like Barack Obama pretends to be
some kind of savior for the Black community and did
nothing for Black people and everything for gay people. And
here we are they're deriding. Netflix is deriding Gone with
the Wind. Who gave the first who because of that movie?
(06:00):
The first black Oscar winner won an oscar and did
great stuff for creative black folks in LA and Hollywood,
and in the meantime, Black Lives Matter stole thirty million dollars,
So what are we talking about here? Right?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It reminds me of modern day outrage over Tony Hingecliff
in Austin, Texas. Tim Heideker from Tim and Eric, popular
late night comedy show on Cartoon Network Adult Swim actually
made a podcast where he just watches Tony Hingecliff's new
special and talks about how racist it is. But if
you watch Kill Tony, the most popular stand up comedy
(06:40):
podcast in the world, you see a lot of black comedians. Meanwhile,
I remember watching Tim and Eric, I don't remember seeing
any black people on it.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, I mean I haven't seen every episode of High
Decker stuff, but that's a good point. It was a
very monochromatic show from what I can remember. And yeah,
you know, people do have a lot of criticism about
Kill Tony and all that stuff, but say what you want.
It's given a lot of minority comics their break. For example,
(07:13):
we just had Hans Kim at the club out here.
He's killed Tony Hall of Famer, I believe, really nice guy.
And yeah, that's you know, as much flack as Tony
gets for some of his jokes, and you know some
of the stuff he s has, And of course he's
a Trump supporter, so that that right there is a
major red flag for almost everybody in the industry, like
(07:33):
Tim Highdecker. But he's done, like this is my point.
He's done more for minorities than Tim Highdecker ever did,
just like Gone with the Wind did more for black
people than Black Lives Matter ever did.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
All right, in the meantime, let's talk about Tranees for
a minute. Elliott Page is in the New Odyssey. I
watched the trailer for the Odyssey, and it's got Matt
Damon and Ann Hathaway. There's all kinds of stars in it.
Ellen Page is now Elliott Page. You don't see Elliott
Page in the trailer. You see Elliott Page with Shim's
back turned to the camera like stabbing someone, but they
(08:08):
don't actually show you. The actor actress whatever promoting now
promoting a new Nature documentary where she declares that the
male female gender binary is a quaint little myth created
by humans. Help me understand this. If gender is just
a quaint myth, why go through all the trouble of
transitioning in the first place.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, I agree. And if gender is a myth, can
we just throw this this lady into the UFC.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Huh, gender is a myth?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know. Max Holloway just got into shape for a
fight with Connor McGregor, right, and it didn't happen because
Connor blew out his knee in the first like thirty seconds.
But you know what, Max is still in shape. Elliott
is in pretty good shape. We saw him, I guess,
working out the other day, right, throwing, throwing gloves. So
(08:57):
why not let's schedule that for a couple I will
buy that pay per view.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Buy that pay per view because that would be a
pretty quick fight, I would think, and maybe somebody would
find out that gender is an actual thing.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah. I watched that too. There's a video on the
internet making the rounds right now on social media of
Elliott Page boxing in a gym, and then another video
of Elliott Page with his her bodyguard, and it's just embarrassing,
Like Elliott Page is walking around with Elliott Page is
about the size of the leg of the man. The
(09:32):
actor actress is hired for self defense I digress. You
are prettying together. What I thought was a very cool looking,
very funny looking movie called Megaball hilarious mockumentary the greatest
sports story never told. You are a Navy veteran. You're
doing this with another military veteran. If people want to
get involved in this thing, there's a go fundme I
(09:54):
encourage people to donate. You sent me a movie poster.
It looks hilarious. I like the poster. Tim. I'd rather
be in the movie. So when you're in Houston, I
want to be in a scene.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Oh well, yeah, that's part of the go fund me
as well. If you, uh, if you reach a certain
donation on that, then you can be part of the movie. Uh.
And in fact, if I think if you go to
five hundred, you get a speaking role or something like that.
But yeah, we're trying to raise some more money for
it right now. We're beginning to do casting and uh,
(10:23):
you know, some of these folks want a little bit
of cash, so uh check it out, go to go
fund me and look up help two veterans make a
mockumentary and we'll pop up. We have a little you know,
presentation there and then if you want to donate to
the film and get your own movie poster, possibly be
in the film and everything like that. Go ahead and
(10:46):
donate and help us out.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
All right. That is Tim mathis the local he was.
He's the official Pursuit of Happiness Radio, Hollywood News Reporter,
broadcasting live right now from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the home
of the entertainment industry. I'm Kenny Webster. We got to run.
We'll be back Brian early tomorrow morning for more of
what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to the show.
Hey, if you enjoy the Walton Johnson Show like we do,
then you might also enjoy the Pursuit of Happiness show
in the afternoon with oh Ginny Webster there And as
