Today's menu is chaotic, but in 5 00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:36,714 Speaker 2: a good way. We've got some political drama crash in 6 00:00:36,754 --> 00:00:39,793 Speaker 2: the arts world, a sitcom revival nobody asks for but 7 00:00:39,954 --> 00:00:44,754 Speaker 2: everyone secretly wants. Celebrity is getting knighted like it's medieval times. 8 00:00:45,314 --> 00:00:47,833 Speaker 2: Timothy Chalomy suffering for his art in a way that 9 00:00:47,994 --> 00:00:51,193 Speaker 2: absolutely did not need to happen. So let's get spilling 10 00:00:51,674 --> 00:00:54,834 Speaker 2: first up. More artists are giving Trump the finger after 11 00:00:54,874 --> 00:00:58,034 Speaker 2: he chose to rename the iconic John F. Kennedy Center 12 00:00:58,114 --> 00:01:00,433 Speaker 2: for the Performing Arts adding his own name on top, 13 00:01:00,474 --> 00:01:02,033 Speaker 2: which is not a weird thing at all to do. 14 00:01:02,634 --> 00:01:06,194 Speaker 2: Multiple performances, including annual Christmas, Eve and New Year's events, 15 00:01:06,234 --> 00:01:09,354 Speaker 2: have been canceled in protest, with performers saying this move 16 00:01:09,434 --> 00:01:13,274 Speaker 2: disrespects a legacy of JFK and turns a cultural institution 17 00:01:13,474 --> 00:01:17,914 Speaker 2: into a political billboard. Lawyers are circling Congress might have thoughts. 18 00:01:18,154 --> 00:01:21,234 Speaker 2: The vibe is tense today. Another three events were counseled 19 00:01:21,274 --> 00:01:23,754 Speaker 2: with the choreographer for the New York Dance Company, calling 20 00:01:23,794 --> 00:01:28,394 Speaker 2: it financially devastating but morally liberating.

Cynthia 44 00:02:36,914 --> 00:02:40,034 Speaker 2: Rivo also received an MBE, and Ellie Golding was honored 45 00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:42,954 Speaker 2: for her environmental work stick Around, George Clooney has some 46 00:02:43,034 --> 00:02:46,954 Speaker 2: exciting reboot plans, and Timothy Chalamay's bear Ass has taken 47 00:02:46,994 --> 00:02:52,513 Speaker 2: one or five for the team. George Clooney sat down 48 00:02:52,514 --> 00:02:55,354 Speaker 2: with Variety and did what George Clooney does best, reflect 49 00:02:55,434 --> 00:02:58,274 Speaker 2: teas and casually throw some shade. I'll it into the 50 00:02:58,314 --> 00:03:00,474 Speaker 2: shade in a second, but first I want to reveal 51 00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:04,474 Speaker 2: his plans for an Ocean's reboot. He's interested in exploring 52 00:03:04,474 --> 00:03:06,234 Speaker 2: what it's like to pull off a heist when you're 53 00:03:06,274 --> 00:03:09,834 Speaker 2: no longer young and spry, inspired by the movie Going 54 00:03:09,874 --> 00:03:12,114 Speaker 2: in Style, which is a seventies comedy about a gri 55 00:03:12,194 --> 00:03:15,394 Speaker 2: of age in Criminals, He's enlisted Julie Roberts, Matt Damon, 56 00:03:15,474 --> 00:03:18,274 Speaker 2: Bright Pitt, and Don Cheedle to return as an older 57 00:03:18,554 --> 00:03:21,354 Speaker 2: But why is it Gang?

He says, there was something 59 00:03:24,634 --> 00:03:27,274 Speaker 2: about the idea that we're too old to do what 60 00:03:27,274 --> 00:03:29,234 Speaker 2: we used to do, but we're so smart enough to 61 00:03:29,274 --> 00:03:31,994 Speaker 2: know how to get away with something that just appeals 62 00:03:32,034 --> 00:03:34,954 Speaker 2: to me and out of the shade. Clooney famously played 63 00:03:35,074 --> 00:03:37,714 Speaker 2: Batman back in nineteen ninety seven in Batman and Robin. 64 00:03:37,754 --> 00:03:39,994 Speaker 2: It was panned by critics and fans, but no one 65 00:03:40,034 --> 00:03:42,834 Speaker 2: loves to pan it more than George himself. This moment 66 00:03:42,954 --> 00:03:45,834 Speaker 2: happened elsewhere in the Variety chat, which gives us a 67 00:03:45,914 --> 00:03:48,474 Speaker 2: pretty good look into just how he feels about his 68 00:03:48,554 --> 00:03:49,754 Speaker 2: experience as Batman. 69 00:03:49,994 --> 00:03:52,994 Speaker 1: I was the best Batman and you know it, and 70 00:03:53,074 --> 00:03:54,874 Speaker 1: I know it, and I don't want to hear any 71 00:03:54,874 --> 00:04:00,314 Speaker 1: more shit all those other guys. You know Batman has nipples. Dude, 72 00:04:00,714 --> 00:04:04,194 Speaker 1: he has nipples. How do you think he feeds the children? 73 00:04:04,394 --> 00:04:06,314 Speaker 1: The little bats? So I don't want to hear more 74 00:04:06,314 --> 00:04:10,834 Speaker 1: bullshit I was as Batman. It was not the most 75 00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,874 Speaker 1: fun shoot because of the suit. It was very painful 76 00:04:13,914 --> 00:04:17,394 Speaker 1: suit and you couldn't move. I laying on a board 77 00:04:17,873 --> 00:04:21,193 Speaker 1: and Joel Schumacher would direct you with a microphone on 78 00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:24,034 Speaker 1: with the giant speaker and he would go, okay, George, 79 00:04:24,073 --> 00:04:28,354 Speaker 1: and here we go, and ready, and your parents are dead. 80 00:04:28,794 --> 00:04:32,914 Speaker 1: You have nothing to live for and action, and. 81 00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:35,954 Speaker 3: Then they just propped me up and I go batman 82 00:04:36,274 --> 00:04:38,634 Speaker 3: and I go ed cut and they dropped me back 83 00:04:38,674 --> 00:04:40,634 Speaker 3: down and then they carry me out on the board 84 00:04:41,034 --> 00:04:44,273 Speaker 3: and that was my experiences. I should have realized it 85 00:04:44,354 --> 00:04:45,993 Speaker 3: was not going to be a hit right about that. 86 00:04:46,474 --> 00:04:48,874 Speaker 2: And finally the story nobody asked for but everyone will 87 00:04:48,914 --> 00:04:51,593 Speaker 2: be happy to hear. Timothy shallow May revealed that for 88 00:04:51,674 --> 00:04:54,633 Speaker 2: his film Mighty Supreme, he insisted on doing a scene 89 00:04:54,633 --> 00:04:57,113 Speaker 2: where his character gets spanked with a real ping pong 90 00:04:57,193 --> 00:05:01,234 Speaker 2: paddle himself. No stunt, double, no cheating, just Timothy's bare 91 00:05:01,313 --> 00:05:05,433 Speaker 2: ass paddle and some serious dedication. Apparently it took multiple takes, 92 00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:08,553 Speaker 2: because of course it did so mactors lose weight for roles, 93 00:05:08,714 --> 00:05:12,234 Speaker 2: subler and accents. Timothy chose violence. And that is it 94 00:05:12,274 --> 00:05:14,753 Speaker 2: for your Morning Tea today.
