This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. The end

2:33

of the year can be so stressful between

2:35

wrapping up projects and showing up for family and

2:37

friends at various holiday gatherings,

2:39

often feel run down and like I have very

2:41

little time for myself. Truly, making

2:43

therapy a consistent part of my routine has often

2:45

been such a bright spot for me, especially during the hectic

2:48

holiday season. This time of year, it's natural to

2:50

feel some sadness or anxiety, and

2:52

having someone to work through all these complicated feelings

2:54

has been incredibly helpful for

2:56

me. BetterHelp is entirely online and

Some things just don't mix, like old people and nationally

3:15

televised dating shows. Nextiva Naturals

3:17

developed a proprietary water-soluble form

3:19

of CBD, clinically tested multiple times,

3:22

which has proven to work faster and absorb

3:24

four times better, so you can stay calmer or sleep

3:26

better during this stressful time of year. As

3:28

someone who often struggles with getting a restful night's sleep,

3:30

I can honestly say that when I turn to CBD, I

3:33

want it to work quickly. Few things have been as helpful in

3:35

getting me restful sleep like the Nextivo

3:37

Sleep Gummies. Nextivo products are proven

3:39

to absorb four times better than most oil-based

3:42

products. Don't waste your time with oil-based CBD.

3:59

All right, Jamie, it's time to do more.

3:59

you know. Okay,

4:04

we are going to be talking all the news of

4:06

pop culture this week. And Jamie

4:08

mentioned all these awesome things we have in

4:11

the can for people who just want to join us if you'd like

4:13

them or you know episodes, you want to get them three

4:15

times a month. We've also I'm not going to spoil

4:17

this.

4:18

Okay, I'm not going to spoil this promise.

4:20

Okay, I'm just saying we

4:23

have something coming in January, that's going to be

4:25

really good. And people are gonna like want it. And

4:27

I'm not going to spoil it. They're

4:28

gonna want it really bad. And you are 100% not

4:32

going to spoil it yet. Because it's literally

4:34

still months away.

4:35

Right. But I think my question is like,

4:38

you know, everyone we're always like, we don't spoil it right?

4:40

Right until until this, but then there's

4:42

a gray area of like, it's

4:45

not great. There's there. Well, there's

4:47

not right now. I agree with you. It's very not great.

4:49

But there will come a time where it is great. No, it's

4:52

I will agree with that before it happens.

4:54

Yeah. And what's right. That's my question. What's that

4:55

when it's just not before Thanksgiving, but it's

4:57

after Thanksgiving, I would say that's when the

5:00

clouds come in. Okay, negative.

5:02

No, but like the fluffy

5:04

clouds, the clouds, the rainbow

5:06

clouds. Yeah, I don't know much about clouds, but those

5:08

feel like the good ones. So I'm just saying that's

5:11

a good thing. Come,

5:12

you know, and on Patreon, we do send them a side

5:14

piece. And this month, we did my favorite

5:15

movie all the time, Mary Poppins, which you could

5:17

also hear,

5:18

like, love it so much.

5:20

And then next month, NASA's doing would

5:22

you say it's your favorite

5:23

movie of all time?

5:25

Oh, at least top five. Oh,

5:27

yeah, it is. I was like, What movie are we

5:29

doing? I don't remember. Top three. Easy. Top

5:31

easy.

5:31

And we have put it off. We said we were gonna

5:33

do it for years. And we're finally doing it.

5:35

That's right. It's gonna be it. You

5:38

know who would approve?

5:39

Ken Ken would approve the

5:41

mojo dojo castle would approve of this choice,

5:44

I think. Okay, well, let's get

5:46

right into Jamie and talk about probably the most pressing

5:49

issue of our time, certainly

5:52

in this generation. But specifically

5:54

to this moment, how do we feel about

5:56

people magazines newest sexiest

5:59

man alive?

5:59

choice. Okay so the

6:02

question the answer to how do we feel is old.

6:04

We feel old because they

6:06

selected Patrick

6:09

Galen Dempsey as the sexiest

6:11

man. He's 57 years old. Patrick

6:14

Dempsey who last starred in a feature

6:17

film in almost eight years ago

6:19

in Bridget Jones's Baby and

6:22

then also his last starring role in a

6:25

teeny

6:25

show

6:26

was in Grey's Anatomy almost

6:28

nine years ago is when

6:31

he laughed. And so People magazine

6:33

scoured the earth of all the celebrity, particularly

6:35

all the celebrity men, and went you know who is

6:37

the sexiest of all of them? It is

6:40

Patrick Dempsey, a man that we really

6:42

see very often at least

6:44

in the last decade.

6:45

And you know um I

6:48

look I'm not like in in

6:50

the sexiest man streets you know that's

6:52

not really the beat I cover. So whenever

6:54

I see the news I'm not like oh I've got takes

6:57

like that's ridiculous. I don't have like a hard opinion on

6:59

that but the more I like let it marinate

7:02

and kind of like do a little bit of research right

7:05

saw the finalists you know so

7:07

we were considering I got less clarity.

7:10

I understood

7:12

the choice less because typically

7:15

it does feel I mean I'll just go ahead and say

7:17

it I think we all agree Pedro Pascal was robbed

7:20

of this role not just in general but

7:23

specifically this year all

7:25

years to not get it this makes

7:27

the least sense to me.

7:28

He has been in so many sexy

7:30

things this year the last of us

7:33

kicking it off and then even I mean

7:35

I mean I know now you've you've ruined

7:37

it and said that that's not even him in that Mandalorian

7:39

suit at all. But it's his vibe.

7:41

It's his vibe. He's just credit for that. It's his voice

7:43

that's attracting me to him and how he cares for Grogu and

7:46

obviously the maybe he did with Ethan Haunt where

7:49

we got a little bottom. We've got some

7:51

Pedro bottom which I really am

7:53

a fan of and maybe a screensaver on a device

7:56

that I do not have public and

7:58

and then just his his run on showing

8:01

up in beautiful places like SNL and

8:03

all the things like and just being interviewed

8:06

and you being like, Oh my God, are you amazing? When

8:08

he did the Lotta Doctor Test on Vanity Fair, I was

8:09

like, Oh my God, he's the best.

8:12

I mean, his his run on SNL was great.

8:15

I think I just needed a little

8:17

like even if it because Jason Kelsey was a finalist,

8:20

which sure. Okay, why

8:23

not? Again, with that, I did like when you

8:25

read the summaries of all the people who are considered, you know,

8:27

it was like Usher, he's obviously

8:30

an icon in music. He's going to play the Super Bowl.

8:32

Pedro Baxel owned everything. Jason

8:35

Kelsey has a podcast that

8:37

has only recently become famous because of You

8:39

Know Who? and is a father of three

8:42

who just wants to have a good time. And

8:44

it's like this son of bachelor Ed bio.

8:46

Well, let me ask you

8:48

a question. You're a football expert.

8:50

You host a sports podcast,

8:52

right? Sure. Tell me in terms of

8:54

football players, would you put Jason

8:57

Kelsey in the top 10

8:59

most attractive

9:01

football players? Man, you know,

9:03

no, I wouldn't is the question. He

9:06

doesn't even play a sexy position. It's

9:08

probably bottom three, you've got Holder and

9:10

punter is probably the least sexy. I think

9:12

kickers a little bit more sexy than a center. There's

9:15

a you know, there's a dad

9:17

bodiness to him, you know, and there's a

9:19

there's a there's a charisma to

9:22

Jason Kelsey. Not enough. Not enough.

9:24

Not enough. My mother texted me immediately once it was

9:27

announced and she was like, Jalen hurts was robbed.

9:29

If it was going to be a sports icon, she really

9:31

she just rides hard for Jalen hurts. And I don't even know if

9:33

he's a good football player, but she does. And so

9:36

you know, I mean, are people people are asking is

9:38

it is does Jan maybe need to pump the

9:40

brakes on Jalen hurts people

9:43

or people some people with the restraining order

9:45

and they just I just want her to be okay. You know, just really

9:47

like pace herself and she would say to those

9:49

people, you shut your mouth. You

9:52

shut your mouth.

9:53

Okay, let's talk about why it was Patrick Dempsey.

9:55

And I can tell you exactly why it was Patrick Dempsey. Okay,

9:57

so if there's any question, if you're listening, you're like, I also don't. understand.

10:00

Let me help you. So the Sexiest Man Alive

10:02

started in 1985 with Mel Gibson, who

10:04

at the time was 29. He would not make the cut

10:07

again for a variety of reasons.

10:08

That holds up well. Good stuff, people. That's right.

10:10

And so it was very

10:13

2030s with a random Sean Connery thrown in in the beginning,

10:15

but nailed the last. Also

10:16

holds up really well. Good job, Sean. Exactly.

10:18

All right, yikes. And then in

10:20

the last 10 choices, so the last 10

10:23

selections of the crown holders, only

10:26

one of those men has been in his 30s, and

10:28

that is

10:28

Michael B. Jordan. Okay,

10:29

so everybody else has been in their 40s and

10:31

50s. And you're like, well, do you have to earn sexiness?

10:34

Do you have to be around a long time? No, no, no, no.

10:36

I, what I did was I downloaded People

10:39

Magazine's Media Kit. Okay. Because I was

10:41

like, let's really get into this. Who's

10:43

reading People Magazine?

10:45

Now it has three and a half million subscribers.

10:48

Okay. Would you like to guess

10:50

what percentage

10:52

is over 35?

10:54

Reading people.

10:56

Wow.

10:58

And at that 74% over 35, 40% are over 55. So when 40% of

11:00

your readers are Gen X and Boomers,

11:07

you are

11:09

going to cater to Gen X and Boomers.

11:11

You are not this listen, because my

11:13

mother and my mother doesn't know

11:15

who Troye Sivan is.

11:16

She doesn't know who Austin Butler is,

11:18

who should have been a very viable choice. She

11:21

barely knows who

11:23

Ryan Gosling is. And by the way, Ryan Gosling

11:25

has never been the sexiest man alive, because

11:28

he does not, because for those who don't

11:30

know, you do have to consent to be

11:32

the sexiest man alive, you do have to consent to it. They

11:34

cannot choose you without your consent, because they want you

11:37

to participate in a photo shoot and the interview.

11:39

And Ryan Gosling has always turned it

11:41

down, including this year.

11:42

He's like, no means no People Magazine.

11:44

Don't do it.

11:45

Yeah, consent is important. And so

11:48

like, that just makes sense. Because like, Patrick

11:50

Dempsey is Ronald Miller and can't buy me love 1987. He's

11:52

on that ride.

11:54

With what's your face

11:55

with the blonde. He's Andrew Hennings in

11:58

Sweet Home in Alabama. And I know some of you may be like, well, that's a Not

12:00

long ago. Well that came out 21

12:01

years ago. Yeah, that's not

12:03

to look at numbers on movies like that You know, that's right

12:05

and even like the even if you went

12:07

back to like enchanted which you'd be like Oh, no,

12:09

that was seriously like just a minute ago Robert

12:12

is the single dad and enchanted that came

12:14

out 17 years ago. Oh

12:17

That's a long time. That's a big number

12:19

And so I just

12:21

think should it have been listen if

12:23

they really wanted to do it, right? It

12:25

would have been Travis Kelsey that would have been

12:28

the get

12:28

But I do too much it

12:31

would be much

12:32

it's too much and it's too early I think they

12:34

might have pitched it and he was like, how

12:36

about this? You throw my brother a bone of

12:39

yes, he nests throw him a sexy bone And

12:41

I might agree to it next year

12:43

depending on how the next year goes I

12:45

just I do feel a little waterboarded with Travis Kelsey

12:47

right now and I love the guy but he's in

12:49

every single commercial He's in Argentina.

12:52

He's on all the social medias and

12:54

I just I I just worried

12:57

for him about the exposure I

12:59

think you're right to be concerned like what

13:01

have you seen? Yeah, I know your post commercial you need to look

13:03

up the my homes and my auto Commercial

13:06

where Patrick my homes pitches changing crap trust

13:08

Kelsey's last name to my auto so that the

13:10

safe arm jingle goes a little better It's really

13:13

it's his best acting

13:14

My homes I just got that that's pretty good,

13:16

right?

13:16

It's good. That's a good commercial.

13:19

I like that writing. Okay good Um, I wanted

13:22

to do you know with the Oscars we

13:24

do like a retrospective Yeah,

13:26

so I want to do like a sexy retrospect. I want to do

13:29

a sexy 5 10 20 Okay, because

13:31

I want to look up who got this five years ago

13:34

What like what are we looking at? What are we thinking right

13:36

in five years ago? There when it was Idris Elba,

13:39

okay He took the crown wrestled the

13:41

crown some people would say from Blake Shelton,

13:43

which that must have been down to the wire

13:45

I'm about

13:46

how talk about a year

13:48

that people catered to my mama watching

13:50

the voice Yeah, the Blake Shelton you

13:52

the fact that we all turned around and looked each other went

13:54

and as the collective as a nation went Huh?

13:57

What? I'm sorry who

14:00

Yeah, I'd like follow the money probably

14:02

with it But there's a connection between the voice

14:05

and people's sexiest man alive because 10

14:07

years ago The winner was Adam Levine

14:10

and here's the summary and tell me how sad you get

14:13

Levine 34 has that quite the year

14:15

in July he revealed his engagement to model

14:17

Shoot, but

14:20

you know the girl he cheated. Yes.

14:22

He also announced a line of fragrances Fragrances

14:25

launched a clothing line went on tour and

14:27

continued to coach on the hit NBC competition

14:29

series the voice

14:31

That's weird because they didn't know about the text yet

14:33

of how he's cheating on Bahati while she was pregnant

14:36

Don't forget that I'm not gonna forget that he

14:38

cheated on her while she was pregnant I do not forget

14:40

that I

14:41

don't remember what he said Aaron Maybe you can

14:43

look it up for us that booty is redonkulous

14:45

or something something in the realm of what

14:47

were the cheating texts? It was like sonic

14:49

language, but it was

14:50

while his wife was gestate Sesitating

14:54

their baby.

14:54

barn and Sounds he wanted to

17:17

Well, not only that buddy one

17:54

hottest Man

17:57

listen, let me tell you

17:59

Taylor Lautner for humiliating himself

18:02

all over this country during this era's tour as

18:04

being the one ex that she can stand to

18:07

be around. And the fact that

18:09

she lifted him up out of the, I'm

18:11

married to Taylor Lautner,

18:14

I'm also Taylor Lautner, like they're literally

18:16

Taylor and Taylor Lautner. And the fact that

18:19

Taylor Swift lifted him out of the

18:21

sledge of nobody knows who you

18:22

are anymore. Like

18:24

you wish it had gone the way of Kristen Stewart and Robert

18:26

Pattinson, also with somebody who could have been the sexiest man

18:28

alive, Robert Pattinson. And the fact

18:30

that he wins

18:31

the sexiest podcast, it's

18:33

a

18:33

mad thing. It is mad

18:35

thing. I do think he's aging

18:38

naturally, which I appreciate. 100%. Like

18:40

he looks, yeah, he looks, no, no.

18:43

That's how that's, see, when you say that's how

18:45

you say they're not aging well, is they're aging naturally.

18:47

That's like, that's, that's the verbiage. You

18:49

know,

18:50

how old do you think Taylor Lautner is?

18:51

37. 31. 31. 31. So yeah, I

18:53

guess he's not aging well.

18:56

Oh, gosh. But like I respect him for it,

19:00

because he's just like, he's just going with it. Do

19:02

you want to guess the name of his podcast that he has

19:04

with his wife? Again, also Taylor Lautner. Tay

19:06

talk. Tay talk.

19:08

That would be it. I like that. That's a much better.

19:10

It's just the squeeze. Just squeeze.

19:12

What? Come on, guys. What are they squeezing? Is it

19:15

the, the, the convo? I don't know.

19:17

Nothing good, probably. Aaron,

19:19

any update on the booty verbiage?

19:22

You have been straining mentally. Aaron

19:24

has been

19:24

crying off, off air. Like she's

19:27

just been like crying. They're hilarious. Like

19:29

this is so funny. Holy F,

19:31

holy effing F, that body of yours

19:34

is absurd. How are you such

19:36

an hourglass with the hourglass

19:38

emoji? Seriously F,

19:40

I may need to see the booty F with

19:42

lots of K's. Watching your

19:44

age jiggle on that table will permanently

19:47

scar me, but otherwise, I'm amazing.

19:50

Swirly-eyed emoji. I'd buy it a steak

19:52

dinner and whisper sweet nothings into

19:55

it. Nate may come to

19:57

Maui and tattoo me and surf.

19:59

Trippy, this is

20:02

so weird. I'm having another

20:04

baby. My wife is pregnant. Yeah, I was going to say,

20:06

he also asked for permission to name the

20:09

baby after we picked in

20:11

her booty.

20:11

Again, flirting with a woman that he said,

20:14

I would put a filet mignon in your

20:16

a-hole. Yeah. Your name

20:18

is awesome. Can I name my unborn baby

20:20

that again, I'm cheating on my wife. Yes,

20:23

emotionally cheating on his wife. Yeah.

20:25

Can I name, and I like the bahati would have been

20:27

like- Yeah, it was

20:29

funny like,

20:29

oh, is Kirsten a name like

20:32

in your family? I mean, it's like, you know, I just saw it on the internet

20:34

and I just left it.

20:36

I just, I don't want to quibble with what you said,

20:38

Jamie. I don't think he ever said he wants to put a stake

20:40

in her butt hole. No. I think he just says he

20:42

wants to offer it a very nice stake. He wants to buy her butt dinner.

20:45

That's not what you respect. What if he did want to put a- I

20:48

want to put a nice smoking jacket on that big old kabooma. What if he wanted

20:50

to

20:50

put a porterhouse in there and see if it fit?

20:52

Well, that's again, her booty, her choice. Right. If

20:55

they wanted to do that, they can do that.

20:59

Guys, what's the deal with laundry detergent and those

21:01

massive plastic jugs? It's heavy. It's messy. It's hard to

21:03

store. And worst of

21:05

all, 91% of plastic doesn't get

21:07

recycled, which leaves those jugs and landfills

21:09

for centuries to come. Fortunately, I found a solution,

21:12

Earth Breeze. Now imagine for a moment, it's kind of like

21:14

a dryer sheet, but it actually replaces

21:16

that entire cup of goo. It's this pre-measured

21:19

liquidless laundry detergent sheet that dissolves

21:21

in all wash cycles, hot or cold. No

21:24

measuring, no mess, no heavy lifting. I mean it. Earth

21:26

Breeze is actually my new favorite detergent. I

21:28

sign up for their subscription immediately. I

21:31

like that it's delivered with free carbon offset shipping, write

21:34

what I need it, and I can adjust, I can pause,

21:36

I can cancel, no hidden fees. Most

21:38

importantly, I will get a powerful clean. Earth

21:41

Breeze is tough on stains, it fights odors, and

21:43

my clothes come out clean every single time. And

21:45

what really convinced me is with every purchase, Earth

21:47

Breeze donates 10 loads of detergent to

21:49

a charitable cause of your choice. I give to Family

21:52

Promise in Alabama. More than 100 million loads

21:54

Okay, Jamie, let's do what's the word here? And we

23:37

have big news that I don't know the word

23:39

the most qualified to talk about But we can

23:41

just like allude to it and in some ways,

23:44

but the writer strike is over I don't

23:46

think anyone else Sorry

23:50

one of All the people striking

23:52

are not Over

23:54

it just yeah, Jason keep it in

23:56

because I think I speak for the people when I'm just confused

23:58

on everyone striking and then No one's striking

24:00

anymore. That's basically the build. That

24:02

is basically what it is. So it was 118 day strike. It

24:05

was one of the longest labor strikes in Hollywood history.

24:07

It was significant because it did overlap with the

24:09

writer strike that went from May to late September. And

24:12

of course, it's the biggest significance of

24:14

my own personal life because it delayed

24:16

that tennis erotica film with Zadea and

24:18

the guy who plays Charles and the Crown. I

24:20

want to

24:21

see that so bad. Can I just be honest with

24:23

you? As your friend, I think you need

24:25

to call your jets to quote Mr. Simpson.

24:28

Right. It's going to be a very horny hot movie.

24:30

No, you don't think it's going to be a horny hot? I

24:32

think it's going to be awkward. Those cute

24:33

little tiny men bookending

24:35

Zendaya? No? You

24:37

just said it out loud. Tell yourself what

24:39

you just said. I feel like anybody could bookend Zendaya

24:41

and I'd be down. I don't know what bookend means. So

24:44

I just don't want to be a part of endorsing. Exactly. And

24:46

will you urban dictionary bookend and just let us

24:48

know what that means? Okay, so let's talk

24:50

about what the actors won in the

24:52

strike. So Fran Drescher, the

24:54

nanny, also the president of the union, came

24:57

back and let us know. There were two big wins. The first

24:59

was wages, which was really the big kicker. They

25:02

originally wanted an 11% wage increase for

25:05

the first year of any acting contract. Studios came back

25:07

and was like 5% final offer. They

25:10

ended up doing 7%. So, and then

25:12

background actors did get the 11%. And then

25:14

the other big win was for AI, because

25:17

there was a lot of concern that the issue would

25:19

be, well, I mean, you're just going to build an

25:21

actor and be like, it needs to have George Clooney's

25:23

hair and it needs to have Tom

25:26

Holland's twinkle in his eye. You

25:28

can't have that. You have to have permission. And so they

25:30

did get a consent and compensation guardrail

25:33

for AI, which means you have to give an actor's

25:35

informed consent before creating or using

25:38

any replica or any part of an actor's

25:41

body or being or voice or blah, blah, blah.

25:44

And they said that that was the final issue, that that's why the

25:46

strike went so long, that the AI was so, it

25:49

was the thing that the studios would not,

25:51

they did not want to budge on. And they

25:54

finally got that. And then little wins, there are

25:56

lots, because it might seem like, just for those

25:58

two things that took the song, little wins

26:00

about like residuals

26:02

for stunt performers, hair stylists

26:05

on productions with diverse actors have to have experience

26:08

because if you've ever watched TikTok, you know, there's a lot of hair

26:10

stylists and makeup artists who are like, Oh my

26:12

God, your hair is so fine. I

26:15

do not know how to style it, but I'm on track. And

26:17

then intimacy coordinators are now required

26:19

on any scene involving nudity

26:21

or simulated hoochie coochie. Okay.

26:24

Now what did they not get? And it was a big one. They

26:26

did not get a percentage of streaming revenue. Now

26:29

they went in asking for 2%, which

26:31

to be fair, 2% of streaming revenue is

26:33

approximately $1 billion. That's not a joke.

26:35

They pulled down and was like, okay, we'll take 1%. And

26:38

that's why that

26:39

was a key check negotiation point. They were never

26:41

getting that ever. And they were never getting it.

26:43

That's right. And they were never getting it and they did not

26:45

get it. And so what they got was what's called a quote

26:47

streaming participation bonus. Okay.

26:49

Does sound like a trophy. Your kid gets an elementary

26:52

school for spelling only one

26:53

word right in the spelling bee. But

26:56

what it is is that that means now listen to this,

26:58

this is chaos, because it means if you are

27:00

an actor on a Netflix show

27:02

and you will get a hundred percent bonus

27:04

on your standard residual, if

27:07

your show attracts at least 20%

27:09

of Netflix subscribers

27:11

in the first 90 days of the show,

27:14

which is a huge, gigantic number. That's a

27:16

huge number of people.

27:18

And then the actor only actually gets 75% of that. 25% of that

27:22

bonus will go back

27:24

to sag after and they will kind of divvy it

27:26

out among people who are not on successful shows,

27:28

which I would argue will be almost everyone. It's

27:31

very few shows that this will apply

27:32

to you. And there's no way like Netflix, if that's getting close,

27:35

like 80 days, probably take that off the main screen and

27:37

you can't search and find that show probably. There's no way they would do

27:39

that. Probably. There

27:40

is no way that they would cook the

27:42

data.

27:42

No, they won't. No, absolutely not.

27:45

Aaron, do you have an update on bookending as urban dictionary?

27:47

Uh, there's one that

27:49

says it's an offensive term for twins

27:51

or other comultipals implying

27:54

that they are not individuals. There's

27:57

also one that's like a sexual encounter

27:59

that starts with a child.

27:59

and ends with your favorite activity.

28:03

Oh, I like that. I think

28:06

you nailed it. Hello,

28:09

there's love in there. Come on.

28:10

Don't act like it's gross. Oh, no. This

28:13

says French bookends would indicate

28:15

you.

28:27

I know what you're thinking, Jason. Cut the whole

28:30

thing, but I think let it rip. No.

28:33

Jason. I want a pull quote. Can we do

28:35

a clip vid of Aaron talking about

28:37

bookends?

28:38

Jason. Okay,

28:40

let's also do what's the word with

28:43

the state of Marvel because there

28:45

was a variety article a couple

28:47

weeks ago that we held off on commenting

28:49

on because we want to save for this episode. But essentially,

28:52

it kind of laid out the dark dystopic

28:55

present of Marvel Studios.

28:58

There's a book I greenlit a couple weeks ago or several weeks

29:00

ago with MCU where Joanna Robinson

29:02

really kind of breadcrumbs how we got

29:04

to this point. But I think maybe

29:06

the best way to kick this off, Jamie, is to

29:08

recently the Marvels came

29:11

out and maybe talk about its performance of the box

29:13

office. Okay, so

29:14

the Marvels was a sequel to Captain Marvel that came

29:16

out in 2019. And it's also a continuation

29:19

of the TV series Ms. Marvel

29:22

that came out in 2022. It was directed by Nia Da

29:24

Costa, which was funny because one of the points

29:26

Nia Da Costa did The Candy Man and

29:29

she actually in post production with months

29:31

to go started working on another film. So that

29:33

gives you any indication of how this was going.

29:36

And the Marvels was supposed to come out before

29:38

Ant-Man. It was having so many problems

29:40

that it got delayed. So that just shows you how

29:42

Marvel is like, well, I guess we don't have to go in order,

29:45

but we kind of do,

29:46

but we don't because we're trying to make things

29:48

good. They do give the impression

29:51

that, and if you've read MCU and you read this

29:53

variety article, you get the sense like everyone

29:55

thinks they have this elaborate cork board with everything

29:58

intentionally released at a certain point. It's all

30:00

basically put like shoot

30:02

stuff and then Kevin Feige will Frankenstein

30:05

it together and figure it out. That's a hundred percent

30:07

Right. So

30:08

the marbles came out this weekend and you

30:10

know I saw I think it was somebody from

30:12

Vulture or AD Club that was like, well, it was actually

30:15

a low

30:16

It was a low money weekend at the movies

30:18

But the interesting thing is we actually can go back the last

30:21

two years because the Marvel movie has come out on this weekend

30:23

The last two years and so this year we

30:25

had the Marvel's last year We had the Black Panther

30:27

sequel and then we had the Eternals and both

30:29

of those movies did a lot better than the Marvel

30:31

the Marvel's this weekend first of all I got 62% on

30:35

Rotten Tomatoes which puts it in the bottom

30:37

four of the Existing 33

30:39

movies that have the Marvel movies

30:41

that have come out By the way that bottom four

30:44

are all movies that have come out in the last two years So

30:46

if that's any indicator and we're talking

30:48

an incredible Hulk did better than these films and

30:50

that is not a good movie But it ended

30:53

up making it made 110 million Dollars

30:57

worldwide now the problem with that is

30:59

it

30:59

only made 47 million dollars

31:01

in the US and that is

31:04

Because you're talking about a movie that probably

31:07

cost a minimum of 200 million dollars

31:09

to me Yeah, and and I think

31:11

too long like don't care kind of explanation

31:14

is this goes back to really Bob Iger

31:16

Bob Chabec they want to launch

31:18

Disney Plus during kovat so they want to

31:20

flood the zone with content Marvel Star

31:22

Wars other like tons of content, but specifically

31:25

for what we're talking about Marvel and

31:27

then What we understand now about

31:29

the Marvel creative apparatus is they're not Structured

31:32

to handle more things because it all bottlenecks at Kevin

31:34

Feige who fixes things He's really good

31:36

at kind of editing and seeing missing pieces and

31:38

getting it all together And they also treated

31:41

TV as like this is really just like a 12-hour

31:43

movie Which is a stupid thing people say

31:45

sometimes when they want to make their TV show seem like a movie

31:47

and it's not true And that's why we got

31:49

weird shows with weird pacing and

31:52

seemingly no like Cohesive

31:55

unity to story and to visual

31:57

styles and I think overall that

31:59

I don't know if it's like 51% it's

32:03

just like the midification

32:05

of Marvel content and 49% fatigue But

32:08

I feel like it's some cocktail that because for you

32:10

personally Jamie like are you are you more underwhelmed

32:12

with Marvel? Are you like I just don't care and

32:14

I'm fatigued with this. No, I it's

32:16

really just like I just don't think you're doing anything

32:18

interesting anymore listen I would say if you

32:21

if I look back at the the phases

32:23

because we Marvelous films

32:25

in groups called phases there were 30 films

32:27

in the first four phases We're in the middle of the fifth phase

32:30

which was Ant-Man, which I didn't watch

32:32

until much later I did not see it in the

32:34

theater and it was mid at best

32:36

Yeah, and then we got Guardians

32:38

of the Galaxy 3 the sad one. Yeah,

32:40

which I really liked that's a James Gunn Deal.

32:43

He is now running DC. So he's gone So

32:46

you're not gonna get any of that mojo back

32:47

and then the Marvel's which I

32:49

call the Marvel's colon see will that women's Storms

32:52

that yeah, they get their own stuff And

32:55

you know listen brought to me to set it cuz I have not seen

32:58

the Marvel's yet And but critics said the

33:00

consensus was funny refreshingly brief because

33:02

it was famously up an hour 45 I think

33:05

it was elevated by the chemistry of its three leads The Marvel's

33:07

is easy to enjoy in the moment despite its cluttered story

33:10

and jumbled tonal shifts

33:12

There was no rhyme or reason to the

33:14

tone

33:15

So you had a wand division

33:18

which I thought was wildly creative Yeah,

33:20

super smart and and the co-writer

33:22

of the Marvel's did write several

33:25

of the WandaVision episodes, right? So it was so

33:27

creative and smart

33:28

and then even Loki

33:31

Really smart they got weirdly

33:33

complicated and actually ended up complicating

33:35

the back end of all

33:38

of Marvel Instead of letting these just

33:40

be these kind of one-off show like WandaVision

33:42

just being this kind of one-off show Didn't

33:45

have to be anything else within the world and

33:47

then she halt which I actually

33:49

like

33:49

I love she Hulk She's always

33:51

so fun, but he didn't make

33:54

any sense tone wise

33:55

in this world It almost needed to be its own

33:58

thing, but because they own it they

33:59

do it. But again, she all cost $25 million

34:02

an episode. Which

34:03

is what

34:05

an article compares it to Game of Thrones at

34:07

its height, right? Game of Thrones own the conversation.

34:10

And I don't know that I've ever in my life had a

34:12

conversation with anybody not on this podcast.

34:15

Me either. I think if I've met Tatiana

34:18

Maglani in a

34:20

Auntie Anne's in the mall, she'd

34:22

be like, What? Oh, yeah, yeah, I did. I did

34:24

do that. Didn't I? I do

34:25

it. And so I think Deadpool

34:28

three is the next movie that comes out in July

34:30

of next year.

34:31

If you look at the next so the gauntlet until

34:34

well, just in 2024. You have

34:36

Echo, which is I think a series, which

34:38

evidently that is dog crunch burger that

34:41

they hated and they're trying to hide. But

34:43

the weird thing some of the buzz right now is

34:46

it's so totally strange now because they

34:48

got left with basically was left for dead. Now

34:50

so totally strange that it might be kind of like punk

34:53

rock kind of deal. So it might actually be

34:55

good. I don't know. And in February 2024 is my damn web, who is right that

34:59

Dakota Johnson, which I love to go

35:01

to Johnson. Yeah, I don't because I do. I don't

35:04

know what this is. So you've got X-Men 97, which

35:06

I think is animated. And then Deadpool three, like you mentioned,

35:08

then you have Craven the hunter with Aaron,

35:11

Taylor Johnson, and an Agatha

35:13

the Darkhold diaries. That's a weird slate

35:15

for next year. That's

35:16

a weird slate that and I think

35:18

that's the other problem. If some people are like, I

35:20

don't know if I'm supposed to watch these. And

35:23

so you've got two groups, you've got people who are

35:25

like, I like more and I would fall into this group. I

35:28

like Marvel, I think Marvel movies are fun. And

35:30

they're escapist and I don't need them to be more than they are.

35:32

But then when they get so complicated

35:35

and characters are in seven things. I'm

35:37

like, well, I can't keep up with this. You got to do

35:39

a little primer. Say hey, get this as theater 30

35:41

minutes early, we'll do a primer for you. So you'll understand this.

35:44

And then you have the comic book nerds who are

35:46

like,

35:47

how dare you? This is this

35:49

you've changed everything. And because there's

35:51

no way to keep

35:52

it all. Well, have you seen what they just

35:54

announced, which is it's a terrible sign, but

35:56

it's actually functional, that they're going to start putting like

35:58

in the in the

35:59

picture.

35:59

the poster like a little searchlight or

36:02

something if you don't need to know stuff if

36:04

you can be dumb dumb about it Then you can watch this but

36:06

if it's not there or something you'll have to like, you

36:09

know pass your Practice test to

36:11

be able to see this movie which is it's

36:13

just that's what I'm saying and I'll say this about Deadpool 3

36:15

The only thing that we interesting in it is if the

36:18

rumored Taylor Swift cameo is

36:20

true Yes, I'd love to see her be back

36:22

like be a bad actress and stuff. It's my favorite thing. Well,

36:24

why are you trying to trigger me? Right now. I'm not saying I know

36:26

her bad holding cats. Come on. Well,

36:28

it did I'm saying the

36:30

point Jamie that you are so easily

36:33

making fun of anything if the buttholes had

36:35

been in cats It would have been Oscar nominated

36:37

because it wasn't no way seriously, but listen

36:39

there are Where's the poop go? No,

36:41

there are five screenwriters on

36:44

Deadpool 3 5

36:46

5 well, you know three of those are

36:48

probably the comics and Blake

36:51

probably took no. No, that's probably really just to

36:53

know it's not a origin story We're talking about the actually

36:55

Rob McElhaney or one of the Rex and people took a run So

36:58

really just one. I think I'm a screenwriter

37:01

on Deadpool 3 uncredited. Congratulations.

37:03

Thank you um any

37:06

any like it's a really India

37:08

link to the article and the show notes if you want to read it for yourself,

37:11

but um There are lots of little just

37:13

like nuggets dropped any one or two things that

37:15

you saw I got was a

37:16

huge red flag to you when you're reading this Oh,

37:18

it is the Jonathan majors

37:20

of it all I just think it was a mistake

37:22

to be like let's have the same villain for 18 movies

37:24

The funny thing is though like when you

37:26

read MCU Thanos was a joke

37:29

What's the dude the

37:31

joss Whedon put him in as a joke? It was a

37:33

funny thing is a head nod and then they

37:36

do this like Palm Springs Enclave gathering

37:38

like what if we like led to him as being the

37:40

big villain and it worked out perfectly And

37:42

so like they accidentally happened that now

37:45

they have so painstakingly baked

37:48

Jonathan majors into everything They've done everything

37:50

and it's backfired massively in the world

37:52

John the majors currently just where it

37:54

stands is He

37:57

is headed to a trial.

37:58

Yeah later this small, like,

38:01

where he will face domestic

38:03

violence charges. He tried to get the case dismissed. It was not.

38:06

Other people have come forward. There is some

38:08

video footage that is very

38:11

damning. And

38:13

so it will be curious how this case unfolds,

38:15

but the end of it is it won't matter. Like,

38:18

it almost won't matter. I say that. I say

38:20

it almost won't matter. And then I remember that Mel Gibson is directing

38:22

Lethal Weapon Five. And so I know that in

38:24

some ways it will not matter actually in

38:26

Hollywood.

38:27

But to 20 years from now, Jonathan Marjors, 60s

38:29

man alive. Wow, what a run for

38:31

him. He will be like, do you not remember? And

38:33

I get that they would be like, well, we didn't, I mean,

38:35

we didn't know he was, that he was allegedly

38:37

hitting people.

38:37

And that's fair. I totally get that. Like you think you should do your

38:39

diligence, which I don't know how much was, it

38:42

was presented as this was like an open secret

38:44

that people knew. Right. Marlo

38:46

told me a joke this morning. She said, she says something

38:49

was so duck way.

38:50

And I was like, what? What's duck

38:53

way? What's duck way? About

38:55

four pounds. Oh, she's got me. God,

38:57

do I

38:59

need to have a kid? It's also fun.

39:02

They sound fun.

39:02

The jokes are definitely worth all

39:05

the emotional investment you have to do. All

39:07

the theories. I will say that the

39:10

two things, uh, when they were like, should

39:12

we bring back Iron Man cap, black

39:14

widow and Thor? Whoa.

39:16

What's there coming back? If

39:18

you read this, they're coming back. No. And you

39:20

know why they're coming back?

39:21

What is Chris Evans doing

39:24

besides marrying a woman who is way

39:26

too young for him? Like, what is

39:28

he doing? He's like, Oh, I'm not good in things.

39:30

I was in that pain hustlers, which I think you described

39:32

as it's fine. Like it's joy. It

39:34

just, it

39:37

was my case for tolerating mediocrity

39:39

with this talk. Then I can put it

39:41

on the poster.

39:42

That's right. But I think with

39:45

Robert Downey Jr., I really do think

39:47

Robert Downey Jr. should

39:49

leave this behind and let his legacy

39:51

stand instead of this feels

39:54

like, Hey, actually think

39:55

he can, I think what you're saying is a hundred

39:58

percent true. And, uh, I think for

39:59

Chris Evans is complicated because it's like I couldn't do

40:02

anything beyond this. No, that's right. Danny's

40:04

got Oppenheimer and he's going to be an Oscar. So he

40:06

can, it's almost like I can return and this

40:08

will be fun. And I'm like a cool senior who

40:11

are a cool like ex gradual. And

40:13

now I've got, yeah, yeah. I have a multiverse

40:15

blah, blah, blah. I can't believe I, you know,

40:18

Tom Holland broke the spider verse again or whatever.

40:20

Now I'm back. Cool. Zany

40:22

music. But, um, I think the, cause in

40:25

MCU, the case is made that Robert

40:28

Downey Jr. only got killed off because they want

40:30

to pay him any more money because he started with

40:32

back end and the more movies you do, the higher

40:34

that paycheck goes. And so they were like, we can't, we

40:37

can't afford Robert Downey Jr. So he ergo, he

40:39

has to die in this storyline. But

40:41

now that things are getting a little dire, they're

40:43

certainly going to make the case to

40:44

bring him. And I do think, and you said this many times, and I

40:47

do think it's true. When you create no

40:49

stakes storytelling, because

40:51

everyone can live forever and everyone can

40:54

come back from the dead. You, you are doing

40:56

lazy

40:56

storytelling. That's right. I

41:00

did another thing really quick. They want to pivot maybe

41:02

to Dr. Doom, who I don't know anything about Dr. Doom, because

41:04

I don't, I didn't like read the comics or anything. I

41:06

was reading up on him, like what's the deal. And

41:08

he's just like, he's kind of like Reed Richards, but he's like evil

41:11

because he got his face card because an accident happened

41:13

or something. But I was like, one of the things

41:16

that, uh, like the Fantastic Four just keeps dunking

41:18

on him. He's, he's mostly super smart, but he gets tricked

41:20

really easy. And uh, in, in

41:22

one like series, the Fantastic Four hypnotized

41:24

him into thinking that he had beat them

41:27

up and killed them and then also

41:29

destroyed America. So he just stopped trying to

41:31

hurt them. And then he visited America and he was

41:33

like, what the, wait a second.

41:35

Listen,

41:37

I don't think

41:38

too, that we are looking closely enough at

41:40

these comics and going, Hey, there's some problems

41:42

in here. Are these good? Are these, these

41:44

are not all good. These are not all good. The

41:46

last one, the blade, the blade little, uh,

41:48

nugget that they dropped where they had Mahershala

41:51

Ali signed on to do a blade reboot.

41:54

Um, and they went through five writers, two directors,

41:57

one shut down six weeks before production and

41:59

then, uh, it's like someone familiar

42:01

with the script said at one point the story turned into a narrative

42:03

led by women and filled with life lessons and Located

42:07

to the fourth lead Mahershala Ali

42:09

multiple-time Oscar winner was just gonna be a guy

42:12

You know,

42:13

listen, we are not doing little women in the blade.

42:15

Like we're not doing that like we're not say

42:17

that

42:17

but now I'm back Now I'm back. I'm completely

42:19

listening

42:20

Ali. I feel like everyone has

42:23

Like he needs a new agent like he

42:25

will not

42:25

get him trapped in these crazy

42:28

Gigs do you think they watch the like the Roadtrip

42:31

movie of the Green Book and they were like you just

42:33

sit in the backseat and like make white

42:35

people feel better about you Know

42:37

Ali is like I gotta win an Oscar for something

42:39

other than that You got like I gotta get that

42:42

off my like my last Oscar win.

Okay, Jamie, let's wrap up here with

43:41

trailer park. We got a couple interesting trailers Recently

43:44

and we want to talk about them first up, you

43:46

know, I'll let you pick which one you want to do first Oh, let's

43:48

see inside out to you. I'm very excited about this inside

43:50

out to what were your feelings on inside out the

43:53

original I loved inside out. I dressed as

43:55

sadness for Halloween.

43:57

I love this movie because I mean

43:59

being we have

43:59

a big bomb that's right wait

44:02

I think it is a lot of the wrong thing about the wrong

44:07

team and have that I know but

44:09

I love that movie because I just think I

44:11

don't know it's a universal story but told in

44:14

a really creative way unlike

44:15

most Marvel films so I love it yeah

44:17

it's what a creative way to deal

44:19

with like the the young psyche

44:22

a child almost like so

44:25

real that it hurts to watch a little bit oh

44:27

like you're in awe of the creativity I think

44:29

for this one it seems like in the trail the big spices

44:32

that like anxieties in the building and

44:34

also anxiety's got a friend like a little sidekick

44:36

action that I don't know anything about that

44:39

but I yeah I'm interested to see

44:42

because there were there were some voices I recognized there

44:44

were some voices that didn't recognize

44:46

okay so let's talk about it so also

44:48

this trailer this teaser trailer was the most watched

44:50

animated film trailer in Disney's history

44:53

like what did the day it launched yeah so

44:55

it's the sequel to Inside Out that came out in 2015 the as

44:59

a reminder you have the now Riley is

45:01

a teenager and has angst right

45:03

so we get back Amy Poehler as

45:05

Joy and we get Phyllis Smith as Sadness

45:07

and Lewis Black as anger but

45:10

fear was previously voiced by Bill Hader

45:13

and now is being replaced by Tony Hale

45:15

okay and then discussed was

45:17

originally voiced by Mindy Kaling and

45:19

now will be Liza Lapira and

45:22

the reason is so Amy Poehler

45:24

was offered five million dollars plus

45:26

a back-end deal on Inside Out too

45:29

and Bill Hader and

45:31

Mindy Kaling along with Phyllis

45:33

Smith and Lewis Black were all offered

45:35

$100,000 and so Bill Hader and

45:38

Mindy Kaling said well first of all we were a

45:42

version of ourselves then

45:45

we've much more we've much

45:47

richer and much more talented

45:49

now than we were then so we are not

45:51

gonna do this and and listen Pixar

45:54

went you know I know that

45:56

the first Inside Out did make eight

45:59

hundred and fifty seven million dollars

45:59

Yes, but we cannot afford

46:02

a penny more

46:02

and so we will just replace you and people

46:05

don't care and weirdly

46:07

That is true people I think they're right because I'm

46:09

sitting there thinking like good for Bill Hader and mini-caling

46:11

for being like I'm viable I'm worth my time. I need

46:13

more money. I also Understand

46:16

why they aren't getting paid because I don't

46:18

think it's that it's that net It

46:21

would be different if you're like replacing the

46:23

voice of puss and boots in the new Shrek with

46:25

somebody else I would not love that right

46:28

because it feels like so Antonio Banderas signature

46:30

But like with this, yeah, like I don't think

46:33

I need many cute many killer you don't

46:34

but I do think a marketing department would

46:37

say Hey, it actually

46:39

would be really great to have especially

46:41

if this comes out when many killing has

46:43

a series coming out or a new and the next season

46:46

of one of her series that's coming out or if you

46:48

have Bill Hader like Launching

46:50

a new series that he's gonna be in because

46:53

I don't think nobody think and I love

46:54

Tony Hale like obviously I'm like, but

46:57

he's one of the few famous people that I say that away

46:59

that you don't actually know I do I met him in real

47:01

life. I made him hold my purse Yeah, the more

47:03

you do this the more sounds like you don't stop it

47:05

But like do you know who Liza

47:07

Lapeer is? Can you name one thing that she's

47:09

um, yeah, you know I mean so

47:11

many things come to mind. I know keep them separate.

47:13

She

47:13

currently stars in the equalizer on

47:15

CBS Okay, I don't think

47:18

she's gonna be far enough up the couch

47:20

on any nighttime show to be

47:22

able to do some of the press now They

47:25

got the jin Z. They got them a Maya Hawk, which

47:27

is yet she's playing she's doing the voice

47:29

of anxiety So that will be a bonus

47:32

and I did like the model of it because I am interested

47:34

in the teenage brain Just

47:35

as uh, you know as a rule and

47:38

Liza Lapeer fun fact She was a

47:40

friend in crazy She would love who was kind of like

47:42

secretly in love with Ryan Gosling at the table, right?

47:44

I remember starting our iconic turn don't do

47:47

that. Don't disrespect Liza I I

47:50

just my biggest question is well two questions.

47:52

Yes. Do you think Bing Bong ghost Bing Bong

47:54

comes back? Yes If

47:57

I get a be like Obi-Wan Kenobi Like

48:00

the ghost version. Oh, you're in bong Working

48:03

the force goes of being bond. Oh

48:05

big month of Jenna for sure. What a terrible Jedi

48:07

voice, but I love it That's so much chaos

48:10

Erin will you take your kids to see this because I don't know if I

48:12

can like I don't I'm not interested in being

48:15

As someone who has

48:16

anxiety would you do you want

48:18

is the voice of your anxiety my hawk? No,

48:21

no, is it more of a musician?

48:23

It's not a voice. Yeah, just a

48:25

feeling of yeah abject panic

48:27

at all time Right, right, right. So

48:28

there's no after that equates that in your mom. No,

48:31

not really

48:32

No,

48:35

I will not go see this in the theater. I will

48:37

watch this three years

48:38

from now. Mmm, that's smart Yeah,

48:40

like we just watched the first inside out the other

48:43

day. Oh for the first time when it came out eight

48:45

years ago Yeah, okay. Good. I love you.

48:47

You have the original timely takes on

48:49

inside out the the original What'd you think about

48:51

Bing bong? Pretty cool, huh? Brutal brutal

48:56

Bald Maro and I were sobbing.

48:58

Yeah,

48:59

I mean guys that they

49:01

should not be allowed to do that in children's

49:03

movies I don't know why I think respect Respect

49:06

for killing him off because you know what

49:09

that's the Guardians of the galaxy. They didn't I love

49:11

rocker raccoon They should have freaking killed that little guy

49:14

and I love him, but you gotta like you got to make

49:16

people believe But it's my

49:17

thing. Here's my thing. We used to be like

49:19

fighting the powers of hell Okay, like we

49:21

Maleficent powers of hell we used to

49:23

be fighting dragons Now

49:26

we're fighting like our inner childhood

49:28

family systems like I just I'm I

49:30

don't want to do that I want to fight what we're

49:32

doing with hell that is what we're doing

49:34

in real life I don't want to do it when I'm watching a

49:36

movie Like I don't want to do it. I'm watching it like with

49:39

in Kanto when it's like feeling dynamic or

49:41

that there's a village And it's like yeah, I don't

49:43

want I don't want that. I don't want that. I'm doing that in real life

49:45

I would like to get a break from that

49:47

I don't want a movie to tell me no matter how hard you try

49:50

your kids are gonna feel like you on them all

49:52

the time I don't need

49:53

that. I'm already dealing with that

49:56

in real time

49:56

watching inside out after we moved

49:58

our kids and they were the new kid at school trying to find

50:01

their new activity. Absolutely not. I

50:03

get that you really want your kids to be like,

50:05

the enemy is a demon

50:08

from another world and I'm pretty cool

50:10

compared to that. And I'm dead. I've

50:12

died. So aren't you glad I'm here? Right?

50:15

That parent is dead, but I am here. There is

50:18

something to be said for the Disney princesses

50:20

with all their dead parents.

50:21

Yeah. Yeah. That's

50:24

what I'm saying. Jamie, Ghostbusters,

50:26

I don't know if there's a colon frozen empire, but

50:29

I'm gonna put one there because I don't care. Oh, it is colon

50:31

frozen empire. Okay. And

50:33

that's important because I, what is

50:35

this? Who is this for? Why

50:38

do we have this? Look, okay.

50:39

So first of all, I was like, is this on an Elsa

50:41

crossover? Is the Empire Strikes Back?

50:43

Is this Empire of the Sun? Yeah. Which

50:46

one of this? But no, it's none of those. This

50:48

is...

50:49

If this was a frozen crossover and

50:52

Elsa's being a real B word and that's what this is about,

50:54

I would be interested in that all of a sudden. Or

50:56

Elsa has died and this is her ghost. But

50:58

she's like, I can still do stuff with ice even in the

51:00

other world.

51:01

Or what's the little snow

51:03

guy, Josh Gad? What's his name? Olaf.

51:06

Olaf is like, Olaf, I don't like them hugs anymore.

51:09

Olaf is the new... What's the slime guy?

51:11

Slimer. Whoa, that's good, man. I

51:13

love it. We can write that. I really like

51:15

that. Well, the reason this happened is because

51:18

the Reitman family

51:20

was real mad

51:22

that they made a girl Ghostbusters. And

51:24

so they were like... You can't put Leslie Jones in one of our movies.

51:26

We're in a reaction. We're not

51:27

having it. And so they were like, back to boys

51:30

only. But we will let that main boy

51:32

have a wife because that's how Hollywood

51:34

works. So though, Kiri Kuhn, who

51:36

needed a beach house, was reduced to being the wife

51:39

of Paul Rudd and they lived in Oklahoma. And

51:41

that's how we got Ghostbusters colon

51:44

after life. Now the family's

51:46

headed to New York with the original

51:48

Ghostbusters.

51:48

Did you see Ghostbusters after life?

51:51

I did. And that was... It

51:53

was fine. It was beautiful. Well shot.

51:56

Nostalgia made sentient and like,

51:59

stroking itself off. in a mirror. You

52:01

know, it was like, this is something

52:03

I didn't think we'd get another one. Right. No. And listen,

52:05

can I tell you that the Alliance of women

52:07

film journalists, they do awards every year

52:10

for media and they, they

52:12

do a classics like best film, best screenplay, blah,

52:14

blah, blah. Then they do special categories,

52:16

including, uh,

52:18

the remake that was a waste of time.

52:21

Hmm. Fair. People are remakes at a waste of time.

52:23

And Ghostbusters colon afterlife was

52:25

nominated, but it did not win. Unfortunately,

52:28

space jam colon, a new legacy

52:29

did win. Wow. That's an award.

52:31

They also, by the way, they do a category

52:33

called she deserves a new agent award.

52:36

And by the way, in last year,

52:39

it was Bryce Dallas Howard for

52:41

Jurassic world, Dominion, rebel

52:43

Wilson for senior year on a

52:46

day, our moths for blonde and

52:48

Margo Robbie for babble.

52:51

I don't know about Margo.

52:51

I don't know about that. And she did not win on a day

52:54

or months, of course, it went. And I do agree with that on the day

52:56

or months does

52:56

need a new agent. Yeah, she probably does.

52:58

I don't think anybody knows men don't know what to do with her. But you know,

53:00

the interesting

53:01

thing is somebody was like, afterlife

53:03

made so much money and I've looked it up. It

53:05

made 200 million on a $75 million budget.

53:08

That is profit. I'm not saying that's not profit. And

53:10

it does. I will say this trailer does

53:12

look really, you're right. It looks really

53:15

good. So that's what they are doing

53:17

a good $75 million. It looks, I

53:19

don't know if it's just all in the trailer, but it does

53:21

look really well done in terms of CGI.

53:23

Now, I don't want to disagree with you

53:25

when it feels like we were agreeing on something. I don't

53:27

think this trailer looks good. I

53:29

like

53:29

doing all the people at the beach were like, Oh,

53:31

I'm on Ferris wheel and I'm about to die. It

53:33

was like, let's do jaws. But

53:36

let's do instead of a shark, what could be more menacing

53:38

than a shark? I sickles coming

53:41

up out of the water. That makes a lot of sense. Cool.

53:43

Listen, freezing is bad. Like, it is

53:45

bad. People die every year from

53:47

freezing. I just when when you got to bring

53:49

in Dan Aykroyd, you got to dust his old

53:51

dusty balls off to bring Dan

53:53

explain what this is. Like literally

53:56

say what's happening in the trailer. And he says it's

53:58

the death chill. It's the I'm reading this

54:00

verbatim, the power to kill by fear itself.

54:03

Your veins turn to rivers of ice. Your

54:05

bones crack. The last thing you see is

54:08

your own tear ducts freezing up. And

54:10

then Patton Oswalt is trying to enthusiastically like tell

54:12

us that this is going to

54:13

kill. When I heard Patton Oswalt, I

54:15

was like,

54:16

wow, what's going on here? What's

54:18

happening? That's a nerd pander pick.

54:20

I don't, I think I don't know, like,

54:24

it's weird to see a movie that doesn't have like to

54:26

be IP driven, but I don't know like what the IP

54:28

is building towards. Like and maybe this is

54:30

like a really big deal villain in the ghost wizard

54:32

universe. I don't know. What's the universe? What

54:35

are you talking about? I don't think there's any

54:37

existing IP for this. And

54:39

is this a

54:39

Paul Rudd movie? Is this a Finn Wolfhard

54:41

movie? I don't know.

54:43

Oh no, it's both. It's the people's sexiest man

54:45

alive group and that TikTok

54:47

group. We need to appease both of them. And

54:50

they like their women who will be like, ah,

54:52

Paul Rudd, what is that skincare routine?

54:55

And then there'll be people that are Finn Wolfhard and they're like, oh

54:57

my God, I love his hair.

54:59

Look, I know that he's not been wolfhard

55:01

by a lot of the father. His hair is duck way. Ah,

55:04

look, I think people are gonna love that. And

55:06

they'll be like, those are their spouse and they'll say, what is it? What's

55:08

duck way? And I hope their spouse say about

55:10

four pounds. Let us know to use this on your

55:12

family. But

55:15

I know Paul Rose not biologically his father in this movie,

55:18

but they do feel it almost

55:20

feels like the Matthew Perry Zac Efron movie

55:23

where they were supposed to be related. Like it's a good match. Thank

55:26

you. Thank you, Erin. Always representing.

55:29

It does feel like a good match in that way. But it also feels like neither

55:31

of these guys need to be their own. They're

55:33

not that they don't deserve their own team. They don't like

55:36

they can't make their own movie. You know, they need

55:38

other people to like, like he needs Millie Bobby

55:40

Brown. Paul Rudd needs like literally anybody else. Because

55:43

I feel like he's a little overexposed in that way. Finn

55:45

Wolf, like, because when I was looking at him, I was

55:47

like, he kind of feels like hot topic, Chalamet. But

55:49

he doesn't have like a charisma that can carry

55:51

like Chalamet can carry, you know, because we need an

55:53

F and L this weekend. Hope, Lee,

55:56

Moly, him not even

55:58

trying to have the X. of one Troye Sivan,

56:01

but yet I was like, he's basically

56:02

Troye Sivan.

56:03

I don't even know who that is. I was like, I'm fascinating. Exactly.

56:06

But he was perfect. That might have been the best 25, first 25

56:08

minutes of SNL. When he smokeshadow

56:10

that s**t getter, he owns that person.

56:12

He is smokeshadow that s**t getter. He's

56:15

a caret. You know? Okay. Well, that is our

56:17

conversation on the more you know. As

56:19

always, if you have thoughts and opinions on our thoughts and opinions,

56:21

please let us know. Not sure you're on my com slash 530. All right,

56:24

Jamie, you want to do some lights? Let's

56:26

do some lights. All right. What is

56:28

your relay this week? Okay. My

56:30

relay this week is my DMs. And

56:32

because I got two types of DMs

56:34

all weekend long, okay? They

56:36

first started off with, I cannot believe you're not obsessed

56:39

with Taylor and Travis like

56:41

we all are. And guys, I am. I

56:43

am. I literally, while on a girls trip,

56:46

read headlines from the Argentina heiress

56:48

tour show that Travis Kelsey attended out

56:50

loud to Aaron as we played the phone

56:53

version of Telestration called

56:54

Gartik Phone. We'll include

56:55

a link. It was very fun game. Yeah. But

56:57

Aaron, when I told you that Taylor

56:59

Swift had changed the lyrics to Karma,

57:02

what was the sound you made?

57:05

Exactly. She spun around in that swivel chair.

57:07

She was so giddy and so excited. And I

57:09

was too. I love a good reality

57:12

show that is real. Like I

57:14

love it. But is it real? Okay. So

57:16

that's the second DM that I was getting a lot of, which

57:18

is do you feel dumb now that you said it was

57:20

PR? Let me address

57:22

that. Wait, wait, wait. Because he went to Argentina?

57:26

Oh,

57:26

they're going to get married. They're

57:30

practically married now. At Christmas, when

57:32

you can download the Santa Tracker and show

57:34

your kid, that's proof.

57:37

Dummies, they use a satellite. Do you think they'd use a satellite

57:39

for your stupid fake fiction? No, of

57:41

course he's real because the satellites are involved. That's exactly

57:43

right. Exactly.

57:44

Well, listen, so let me address it.

57:46

So first, what you're assuming when you DM

57:48

me that is that you're assuming that PR is an insult.

57:51

PR relationships by definition are just

57:53

mutually beneficial relationships.

57:56

Sometimes they're mutually beneficial with

57:58

image and fame and

58:00

stories. Some of them

58:01

mutually beneficial with some time in the better

58:04

rooms. Okay, they might be bookending

58:05

each other. I don't know. Okay. Like macaroni

58:08

noises, stuff like that.

58:08

That's exactly right. But PR relationships

58:11

are just a strategy. And let me just say,

58:13

you might need a relationship strategy

58:16

if perhaps maybe the person that

58:18

you were dating right before this new person

58:20

was a misogynistic racist putz who did appear

58:22

on a neo-nazi podcast while you were holding

58:24

his hand in a private club in New York. That's

58:27

what I'm saying. So Taylor had some headphones

58:29

that she needed to bury despite keeping maps where

58:31

she put them. Okay. And

58:33

those have bonds were Maddie Healy. Also

58:36

Taylor has a long history of

58:38

having PR relationships, both romantic

58:41

and friendship. Do you think all those women

58:43

that are in that bad blood video that she

58:45

sends them Christmas cards every year? No, she

58:47

does not. Okay. Some of them, yes. Some

58:49

of them she's really friends with. Some of them she is not

58:52

at all. So what are the benefits

58:54

of this PR relationship? Listen, Travis,

58:57

he's gained 2 million followers in

59:00

one month on Instagram. That translates

59:02

to cash dollars. Okay.

59:05

His podcast with his brother, which was never in

59:07

the top 200 of all podcasts is now consistently

59:10

in the top 10. Okay. Any endorsements

59:12

for him are now worth twice as much as

59:14

they were worth previously. Now you

59:16

might be saying, and it's the common thing I hear, well,

59:18

Taylor doesn't need PR. She does

59:21

not need PR. That's right. To sell albums

59:22

or sell concert tickets.

59:24

She does need it to get a Super Bowl gig.

59:27

She does need PR to break Grammy win records

59:29

and get exclusive theater deals for a self-produced concert

59:31

film. She does need it to bury criticism

59:34

about all the ways she is the number one offender

59:36

of private justice usage in the world

59:38

and how she doesn't use her celebrity for social change

59:41

in the ways that almost all other artists at

59:43

her level of fame do. Plus, listen,

59:46

she's a brilliant songwriter and performer who

59:48

has gone on record multiple

59:50

times, including in her own self-produced

59:52

documentary on Netflix, talking about

59:54

what recognition means to her and what

59:57

relevance means to her. Do not

59:59

underestimate the The woman who wrote the

1:00:01

song Mastermind that appears on an album

1:00:03

that she released the teaser for during what?

1:00:06

An NFL Thursday night game between the Saints and

1:00:08

the Cardinals. The same Mastermind who dated

1:00:11

a man for six years that we

1:00:13

never saw kiss in

1:00:15

public because she told us on the record

1:00:17

that she did not want us to see and

1:00:19

she wrote at least 16 songs about that

1:00:22

guy, including your new favorite song,

1:00:24

In Game.

1:00:25

That song's about Joe.

1:00:27

Now she can make it about Travis now and that's

1:00:29

great and that's super fun, but she's a mastermind

1:00:31

indeed and when you pretend that she's just a

1:00:33

lovesick girl and that she ran off stage and

1:00:37

then waited that three feet before

1:00:39

that black curtain to kiss him

1:00:41

and you think, well, that's just because he was

1:00:43

waiting on her where no other celebrity has waited

1:00:46

on her in an entire year of shows.

1:00:48

Isn't that interesting? But suddenly listen,

1:00:51

let her be the mastermind that she is and

1:00:53

if it's a good time, good time for us.

1:00:55

I appreciate the craft. I love

1:00:58

the

1:00:58

craft and I love that she threw us a bone, but

1:01:00

like all this,

1:01:01

like, y'all, it's just particularly the Swizzies.

1:01:03

Some of y'all are just joining

1:01:05

in and like, this is a good time and I think that's great.

1:01:07

But the Swizzies were so hardcore. You're

1:01:09

the same people who are like, Joe and Taylor

1:01:11

are not moving up until she else

1:01:13

is well. Well, they were. They

1:01:16

were broken up and they had been broken up for months while she stooped Maddie

1:01:18

Healey. Like I don't know what to tell you.

1:01:20

Like she's really smart. We forgot to, one

1:01:23

of the things that she's responsible for is getting Jason

1:01:26

Kelsey a

1:01:26

finalist as most actually as we mentioned. Guys, there's no

1:01:29

way

1:01:29

that Jason Kelsey would have been on that list.

1:01:31

I know you were like, no, we watched the documentary

1:01:34

when there's family. He's very sexy.

1:01:36

No, don't do that. Don't

1:01:39

rewrite history just because you want

1:01:41

it to fit a narrative.

1:01:43

Now I am actively rooting

1:01:45

for the PR

1:01:48

spin zone of all spin zones where

1:01:50

this was a PR relationship, but

1:01:52

then it turned into something so much more. That's

1:01:55

what I'm rooting for. But I love India, who

1:01:57

is very passionate about this

1:01:58

on our team and which I love. And she was like,

1:02:00

look, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

1:02:02

were a PR relationship

1:02:04

that became real. And then

1:02:06

he stomped on her so

1:02:09

aggressively.

1:02:10

Well, I don't think he was stomping on her. He was

1:02:12

doing something else aggressively.

1:02:15

He

1:02:15

was booking in that Angelina Jolie. Yes,

1:02:17

he was. Yes, he was. My

1:02:20

red light this week is it was

1:02:23

announced maybe I think it

1:02:25

was today that Denzel Washington and Antoine

1:02:27

Fuqua are attached to a movie

1:02:30

project for Netflix,

1:02:32

covering one of my top five ancient figures

1:02:34

of all time. And I'm just

1:02:37

I'm just worried. Like I'm gonna

1:02:39

get my hopes up. I need this to be good. I've

1:02:42

got a lot invested in this. So

1:02:45

I'm just I'm at a crossroads here because I don't know

1:02:47

if I want to invest all my time and energy in reading about this.

1:02:49

Okay, can I pause? Yeah, you said ancient

1:02:52

hero.

1:02:53

Like in my mind, I'm like the

1:02:55

godfather.

1:02:57

But you know, the 70s are ancient from

1:02:59

I don't know this news. So I I don't know who

1:03:01

it is. Okay. Is

1:03:03

it

1:03:04

like, like, a like Rome ancient?

1:03:06

Yes, it is. Okay. It's

1:03:08

Roman. And it is the

1:03:12

Carthaginian general Hannibal.

1:03:16

One of my favorite guys of all time. I greenlit

1:03:18

a book about him earlier this year. Yeah,

1:03:20

like, widely regarded as one of

1:03:22

the best military strategists of all time. Like

1:03:25

people still are like, we should do the Hannibal.

1:03:28

We should do the Hannibal thing he did, you know,

1:03:30

like even in Gulf War, they were

1:03:32

like, I think we should go to the Hannibal plan playbook.

1:03:36

And this is the guy. He's just a maniac.

1:03:38

He's fighting Rome. And they were like, well, let's

1:03:41

block him off so he can get here. And he was like, you

1:03:43

know what, I'll do I'll cross the Alps with elephants.

1:03:45

And that's what I'll do and surprise everybody, which he

1:03:47

did. And even like when

1:03:49

when they were in the Carthaginian wars, they

1:03:53

the rums, the way they beat him was

1:03:55

to just avoid him, not

1:03:56

fight him,

1:03:57

because they were so scared of him, which is the most

1:04:00

Roman thing to do. It was called is this strategy

1:04:02

is by this guy named Fabian or Fabius when

1:04:04

they call the Fabian strategy now, which is like, I'm

1:04:07

not gonna fight you, I'm just gonna ignore you. So it'd be like

1:04:09

an endgame if they're like Thanos, we're just not gonna, we're

1:04:11

not gonna take your calls. We're not gonna like respond

1:04:14

to your talk. We're gonna leave you on red. Like, we don't know what

1:04:16

I didn't get you going through a tunnel Thanos. Like,

1:04:19

that's what the Romans did with this guy because they were so scared of him.

1:04:21

Now, Denzel,

1:04:23

I don't know if Denzel is attached to play Hannibal,

1:04:25

or if he's going to be like an advisor, I

1:04:27

need him to be Hannibal, but he's a little old for Hannibal. So I

1:04:29

don't know what's going to happen there. But I'm

1:04:32

just, I'm just worried

1:04:34

because there's a lot of this, you know, you want

1:04:36

it to be good because you love this figure.

1:04:38

You don't want it to be a bad company.

1:04:40

I'm worried. It's gonna be like, Mary

1:04:43

Poppins, when they rebooted it with Emily

1:04:45

Blunt. Absolutely not. And I'm sure you were

1:04:47

very, very, very invested. It was very,

1:04:49

very, very wise. Yeah. So I'm worried it's

1:04:51

gonna be like,

1:04:52

is there an example of a historical

1:04:54

figure that there has been a movie made about that you

1:04:56

were disappointed in the outcome? Like that you were like,

1:04:59

I really was fascinated by this figure. But I

1:05:01

was kind

1:05:01

of sad about it. It hasn't

1:05:04

happened yet. Napoleon, I'm gonna see how that goes.

1:05:06

And some because like Napoleon was so

1:05:09

freaking horny. Like, you don't even

1:05:11

know how horny this guy was all the time. Really?

1:05:14

Because he was writing letters to his lady, little

1:05:16

man. Oh, see the historical

1:05:19

fiction, he was actually average sized. But

1:05:21

his enemies were like, like, five 11. Let's

1:05:23

call this guy short king, short king, short king. And

1:05:25

then they'll think he was short, but he

1:05:27

actually wasn't. But he

1:05:29

was like, he would write, he's like, I'll be home in like two

1:05:31

weeks. Don't shower till I get home.

1:05:33

You know what I'm saying? Absolutely not. nasty

1:05:37

boy.

1:05:39

Island, right? He had to end up living on an island

1:05:41

for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. They sit in there. But

1:05:43

I'm just like, are they going to be honest with us? And

1:05:45

they don't talk about what a big old gigantic horn

1:05:47

dog he was. And if so, if

1:05:49

they appropriately show him

1:05:52

as a big old Italian horn dog,

1:05:54

then I'll be like, this is good stuff.

1:05:56

I do

1:05:56

think Joaquin can pull that off to be honest.

1:05:58

He's definitely can. The first

1:06:00

what was the the master the first thing the master where

1:06:03

he's like, yeah, pleasure into the Pacific

1:06:05

I don't like it. I don't know what I want.

1:06:08

It's too early in the movie for this The

1:06:13

butter still on my hands I don't like this this is

1:06:15

weird, you know

1:06:15

to be fair I feel like we are very similar

1:06:18

and the thing that you're concerned about this historic

1:06:20

figure that you love I'm also concerned about

1:06:23

Michael B. Jordan bought the rights

1:06:25

to the fourth wing series and

1:06:27

I to him like is it okay?

1:06:30

For him to play Zaden because I do want him to play

1:06:32

Zaden. Yeah, the problem is the girl

1:06:34

She's 17 in the book. So I'm gonna need

1:06:36

those ages to come up a little bit because

1:06:39

he is not 17

1:06:40

Well, but what if the first line the movies like man, so crazy

1:06:42

your 23, you know, yeah No, I do

1:06:44

and literally me I so weird that no I need her

1:06:46

to probably be 25 and your brain Okay, well I

1:06:49

do need her to be like wow, we have

1:06:51

to go to this graduate school at 25

1:06:53

Yeah, you look so young for 32. This

1:06:55

is so neat. Anyway, I do Yeah,

1:06:58

I think I think you do that. That'd be fine Okay,

1:07:01

what's your green light this week?

1:07:02

Okay, my green light this week is a limited series

1:07:04

on Netflix It's eight episode and it's called

1:07:06

bodies now. Listen, it's set

1:07:08

in London. It is a like a crime

1:07:11

thriller little

1:07:14

Gucci little gory. Okay

1:07:17

The show opens with the appearance of a dead body on

1:07:19

long harvest lane in London And then the

1:07:22

exact same body appears in the exact

1:07:24

same street in four different

1:07:26

time periods when 2023 1941 and 1890

1:07:30

and 2053 and

1:07:33

so you have four different detectives in

1:07:35

four different time periods trying to solve the exact

1:07:38

same

1:07:39

crime

1:07:40

of this the same exact dead body and it

1:07:42

is so Interesting

1:07:44

and so like the actors I'll see

1:07:46

here's the cast is unparalleled Look the

1:07:48

person who's doing the heavy lifting and I can't tell you anything

1:07:50

about his character But Stephen Graham who was in Boardwalk

1:07:53

Empire He played Al Capone and then he was

1:07:55

in Peaky for in blinders. Oh,

1:07:57

I did it. That's a great That was a great impersonation.

1:07:59

Sorry

1:07:59

No, what he's doing

1:08:01

he is actually doing his best work ever in

1:08:03

this he is So good.

1:08:05

He's

1:08:06

really underrated. You're

1:08:07

so creeped out by him He's so great But look

1:08:09

what I love is that these all these actors are at a really

1:08:11

weird show because Shira Haas who

1:08:14

was in an Orthodox She's so

1:08:16

good. She's playing the 2053 detective there. It's It's

1:08:20

a weird show, but they're not acting weird in it.

1:08:23

They are acting like I am doing Shakespeare

1:08:25

at the Globe Theatre I'm taking this seriously.

1:08:27

And so they're all really really good in it. It's

1:08:30

all the temples of a good thriller You've got detectives

1:08:32

of secrets surprising villains unexpected

1:08:35

twist But it also has time travel

1:08:37

and existential questions that may or may

1:08:39

not get answered I like it's a little you

1:08:42

do have to pay attention because one time I was like

1:08:44

I don't know what just happened

1:08:46

and then they were like, yeah Just like that guy just said

1:08:48

in that previous thing that I was like,

1:08:49

that's all I gotta go back You

1:08:51

do have to pay attention in this show, but

1:08:54

it's really they listen I

1:08:56

didn't think they would stick the landing because I was watching this

1:08:58

way into the early morning hours and

1:09:00

I was like I swear to the heaven above

1:09:02

if they don't stick this landing and they Weirdly

1:09:05

did and it was weird and fine and

1:09:07

I liked it so much. So look at that. Look at that.

1:09:09

Yeah Yeah, I'm gonna greenlight

1:09:12

The killer on Netflix. This

1:09:14

was the starring fast

1:09:17

bender is directed by David Fincher

1:09:20

Who I mean, he's a season pass.

1:09:22

He's like a green light on sight for me right now I'm just gonna

1:09:24

watch everything he does always at David

1:09:26

Fincher social network seven

1:09:29

gone girl He's just like

1:09:31

on a real heater like in his entire

1:09:33

life but this is it's I

1:09:36

don't think everyone's gonna love it because it's a bit of a You

1:09:39

watch it and you're like, I don't know that I have the handle on what I'm

1:09:41

watching. It has to marinate with you it's

1:09:44

like the the Fundamentals

1:09:47

of what it is is fast vendors a hitman and

1:09:51

He has a job Hijinks ensue

1:09:53

things go awry. He has to deal with them But

1:09:56

the way that it's told it's really you know,

1:09:58

it kind of sounds like what you were talking about about Jamie, like it's

1:10:01

really a movie about existential dread. It

1:10:03

just happens to be like a hit man dealing

1:10:06

with a job gone bad and like that's how he feels it. There's

1:10:09

a lot of voiceover. He's

1:10:11

narrating his own thoughts. There's

1:10:14

not he's gonna be weird, but like the hit man doesn't

1:10:16

have like a lot of relationships and conversations with people.

1:10:18

So that's kind of strange. It's

1:10:21

almost like a very not in a book club. He

1:10:24

should be I mean, you would benefit tremendously

1:10:26

from it till the Swinton plays a hit

1:10:29

person in it. She seems like she's

1:10:31

in it in a book club. She's having a great

1:10:33

time. I love her so much. So much. Yeah,

1:10:35

she goes to the restaurant. She has her own bottle of bourbon. And

1:10:38

she's like, she knows the waiter by name feels

1:10:40

like a really good life. Like things are going well for her. But

1:10:43

it really reminded me of

1:10:45

Fight Club.

1:10:46

It's like a very restrained, unverbose

1:10:50

Fight Club in terms of you're watching

1:10:52

the characters doing things. But you're also

1:10:54

hearing their thoughts on like God and

1:10:56

existence, which is kind of interesting.

1:11:00

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of this was

1:11:03

it's a very orderly, neat movie.

1:11:06

You know, there's some like fight scenes and stuff, which

1:11:08

are really good. I'm well done. But

1:11:10

it's just like, I'm just really, it's

1:11:12

like the ASMR of the eyes of like people

1:11:14

who have very organized lives. And like, it's

1:11:16

not there's not chaos. And they

1:11:18

don't have 15 soccer practices to go to, you

1:11:20

know, and like they can just like go and be like, there's the thing

1:11:22

I need. It's right there. Crazy how that works. You

1:11:25

know, that's nice to me. He just has like a, like

1:11:27

a storage, like a parking

1:11:30

thing and goes in and like all those weapons there. Like

1:11:32

that's so it's illegal. Those are like, those

1:11:34

are weapons, but that's very weird. It's really

1:11:36

weird that you're gonna bring an Uzi out of a like

1:11:39

a, like just a storage. Yeah,

1:11:41

but it's in, it has its own placement in the foam. That's

1:11:43

so organized. He's a label maker. That's

1:11:45

really nice. This is it feels like if

1:11:47

you like Dexter, but like you want a Dexter

1:11:50

to have been made by the people at an anthropology.

1:11:53

This is probably the movie for you. I

1:11:56

really, I'm gonna watch it tonight.

1:11:59

Perfect. It's really good. I really

1:12:02

enjoyed it. Okay, that's gonna do it for this
