0:00

I'm

0:01

Yossi Solich, and I'm the host of bands playing,

0:04

a show where we explain cult bands and iconic

0:06

artists by going deep into their histories

0:08

and discography. We're back

0:10

with brand new season at our brand new home,

0:13

the ringer podcast network, tackling

0:15

a whole new batch of Hottest, from grunge

0:17

gods to powerpuff pioneers to

0:19

new metal legends and many many

0:21

more. Listen to new episodes every

0:23

Thursday,

0:24

only on spotify.

0:36

Welcome to LatAm Take. My name is Bill Simmons here

0:38

with Tyler Parker. CR Chris

0:40

Ryan, and Shawn Fantasy Shawn

0:42

you had before.

0:44

Not only does the NFL need

0:47

a draft lottery, but I think

0:49

all programming in our entertainment

0:51

world needs to draft lottery. Oh, interesting.

0:54

How would that work? Yeah. I don't know and

0:56

I need you to help you out. Star Wars goes

0:58

into the draft -- Yeah. -- after a few years.

1:01

When we get to see the thing that we want

1:03

when

1:03

it's done, when

1:04

when can when can the people

1:07

sign? You mean, you're you're saying

1:09

that I know that there's a Star Wars movie

1:11

that is basically ready

1:13

to go and I and

1:15

I wanna vote on it to see it now.

1:17

No. No. I

1:19

think that's great take and think it's important

1:21

to the future episode, but I think

1:24

the NFL would be a lot more fun, and this

1:26

is becoming a more frequent topic if rather

1:28

than just tanking at the end of the second half of

1:30

the season to get a topic. joystick. you

1:32

could potentially have a team that finishes eight, nine,

1:34

and Linda end up with the first overall pick. The same

1:36

way this makes the NBA a lot of fun. This seems like

1:38

little bit of Jetscope, but go ahead.

1:42

Perhaps, in culture, I

1:45

just want to spin the wheel. I just want

1:47

networks to spin the wheel and make a live

1:49

program where we get to determine,

1:52

is white Lotus coming before the new

1:54

season of succession or maybe a successional

1:56

air before white Lotus? Event

1:59

ties the idea of programming

2:01

because one thing that's happening in our culture is nobody knows anything

2:03

is on. Streaming has disrupted the idea

2:05

of the schedule. So why don't we make

2:07

the schedule part of the experience

2:10

of watching the show. You

2:13

guys are blanking me some I'm trying

2:15

to I'm trying to tease this out. So white

2:17

Lotus is just done. I feel like you're passionate.

2:19

So I'm into it. I'm trying to yeah. I'm trying I'm

2:21

with Chris. Your your mom's take is just a good

2:23

idea.

2:23

one

2:25

no. I'm trying to go the other way with,

2:27

like, Black Adam, a movie

2:29

that none of us thought we needed -- Yeah. -- that

2:31

none of us thought was gonna be good.

2:33

and we had to go through the whole process and

2:35

put it out and pretend like, oh,

2:37

well, we'll see you. And then this is our last movie

2:39

star. They're like, oh, no. Actually, this is bad. Yeah.

2:42

So how do we eventize that game

2:44

of fire in a way that would have been more fun?

2:46

Yeah. Like, could we have picked, like, Black

2:49

Adam has commanding this weekend where there's this

2:51

nine like, the first World Cup weekend, when

2:53

football and basketball and all that stuff was going on,

2:55

that would have been a good week to bury Black

2:57

Adam. where it's, like, the woman came that

2:59

everybody decided was

3:01

really, really good. But

3:03

that kinda got lost. And we labeled

3:05

that a thing, but maybe that should have been, like, the

3:07

latter should push that in a better way. Here's the problem.

3:09

Part of why I wanna do this is because I wanna

3:11

break up the reliance on serialized storytelling.

3:14

So Black Adam theoretically is part of a

3:16

long story that DC is telling.

3:18

Yeah. I don't want that. Right. I want

3:20

an individual movie. Oh, yeah. Well, so theoretically,

3:22

you could be like, you know what? Give me secret

3:25

wars now. I don't wanna watch five

3:27

more Marvel movies and So then I don't wanna

3:29

movies. You want what? Yeah. I want things to

3:31

exist on own. I thought of this while watching Black

3:33

Panther movie. You don't want Ant Man in the wash to feel like

3:35

an obligation? You don't want No. I wanted to

3:37

feel fun. I actually love the

3:39

idea of the new Ant Man movie. What I don't

3:41

want is the homework of five things before it. And

3:43

the same, there is obviously a fun element to

3:45

stand alone shows or stand alone movies

3:47

getting spun on a wheel too and just saying, like, actually, this

3:49

movie is coming out in January instead of December.

3:51

Isn't that so interesting? You could see it tomorrow.

3:53

I have the idea. I

3:54

finally I finally have been able to help you. Okay.

3:56

I was sitting there and that was good. What happened? No.

3:58

No. It was good. But I have the one

3:59

you wanted to figure out how to ventize.

4:02

Okay. I figured out how to do it. I was sitting in the corner

4:04

like Sam Houser, kind of pulling

4:06

my trunks, get get licking my fingers,

4:08

waiting for the ball to come you pulling your trunks

4:10

looking your fingers is not a good image.

4:12

These shows, which

4:14

most of the time, we never know how like, there

4:16

are always too many episodes. Right? but

4:18

Fleischmann in trouble. I heard you enjoy and talk about

4:20

this on prestige. You were like, if this is four episodes,

4:22

I would have liked it. Yep. They

4:24

announced the show. They're gonna do it. Here's

4:26

in the cast. then we get to

4:28

decide how many episodes it's gonna be.

4:31

So, like, the murder of Simon Lee

4:33

Like, just We. the big like,

4:35

a a council of elders. Deepgram

4:37

max. The way Deepgram

4:40

max Deepgram max is, like,

4:42

We're doing a documentary series about that

4:44

fucking crazy Murdock family. How

4:47

many episodes you want? I'm like, actually,

4:49

being for four on that one. Is this a private

4:51

call to Bill? Like, who No. If

4:53

you're an HBO Max subscriber, you

4:55

can make it a whole Yeah. That you

4:57

can say I think mayor of East

4:59

Town should be five episodes. Oh.

5:01

White Lotus season three.

5:04

How many

5:04

episodes you guys what? I'd be

5:06

like, probably

5:07

take eight. You can give me eight.

5:09

This is

5:10

a different take, but I like this too. No. I know that. I've

5:12

had to get different directions and it is a

5:14

different thing than everything Lottery.

5:16

I

5:18

like the lottery idea, but I also like your idea.

5:20

Give give me give me, like, what'd you gone for

5:22

Fleishman? How many episodes I

5:24

saw in fours. ideal for sure. How would

5:26

it be the first seventy one? I

5:28

like it. You you don't like

5:30

it? No. You don't like watching

5:33

mid crazy people screw. If you're

5:35

giving me an overbearing narrator

5:37

for eight episodes, I'm immediately

5:39

out. Prove to me, I need to hear from

5:41

a narrator. maybe the other thing

5:43

for the council of elders is let's

5:45

just redo all overbearing narrators

5:48

with realyota from goodfellas.

5:52

There's been seven movies in my life that

5:54

I felt like needed a narrator.

5:57

What are that? You can you list them right now off top of it?

5:59

Yeah. Rounders, good

5:59

fellas,

6:00

Shawshank? I don't

6:02

know, probably four others. Okay.

6:04

What were

6:04

you gonna ask me? Give me an example

6:06

of the thing that you wanna see put into the lottery.

6:08

Yeah. So,

6:11

like, next like, five Star Wars projects.

6:13

We pick one.

6:14

Laddo is the wrong word. Is it it is

6:17

it dependent

6:19

upon the the the corporation

6:21

that is putting this stuff out? Is it

6:23

corporation by corporation specific, or are

6:25

we throwing all of them into the pool at

6:27

once? Yeah. I think it has to be.

6:30

You know, Paramount Pictures is slate

6:32

for twenty twenty three. k? Am

6:34

I gonna see screen

6:36

six? first or

6:39

am I gonna see a quiet

6:41

place day one, the quiet

6:43

place prequel? Which one do you want?

6:45

Why do I wanna be surprised? What I don't

6:47

wanna know is that I'm surprised. I don't wanna

6:49

see, like, March thirteenth twenty

6:51

twenty four, you'll be able to see this film. I

6:53

wanna wake up one day and be like, holy shit, this

6:55

is available tomorrow.

6:57

Or next week, you're coming at the end of an

6:59

award season where you're tired of hype, you're tired of each

7:02

side of the pre game. This take is not about

7:04

psychoanalyzing me. It's about making

7:06

our culture more fun for the people.

7:08

Well, this is like with the music albums when

7:10

Drake just drops. an album on its

7:12

Thursday night. Fantastic. Yeah. But I

7:14

like a Mormon Taylor Swift says two months

7:16

from now, I'm gonna have this album and you guys better

7:18

get fucking ready. I

7:20

kinda

7:20

like I kinda like I kinda like

7:22

it when they surprise me, but I also

7:24

like it whenever someone's like,

7:26

look

7:27

at me for three

7:29

months, I've got something coming. So I I

7:31

kinda like the audacity of a build

7:33

up. How would you also like being moderate

7:35

to to music? Well,

7:37

let me let me use a a completely

7:39

different example. Okay. the When

7:42

my wife goes to this to the grocery

7:45

store. And before she leaves, she's like, hey, I'm I'm gonna

7:47

get you a pie. What

7:48

kind of pie do you want? And I said, oh, blueberry pie. And then

7:50

she comes on, she brings me a blueberry pie. I'm like, oh,

7:52

cool. But when she comes home and

7:54

she doesn't ask what, and she brings a blueberry

7:56

pie home. She's like, I know you love blueberry pie. Got you

7:58

a pie. I'm like, this is probably the best pie that

7:59

ever existed and I know that you love me.

8:02

That's how I wanna feel. You wanna go

8:04

back to the feeling of going

8:06

up to the box office and saying what's

8:08

playing at the movies today? Yes.

8:10

And not knowing before you went there. I

8:12

like it. I

8:13

see it. Alright. For think we landed the plane.

8:15

For Bill, for Tyler, for Sean, I'm Chris.

8:17
