1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Okay, what's going on with Sidney Sweeney.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: She's hot hot, that's it. That's all we got.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: She's hot, all right, show's over. Thanks then, Okay, So

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: she was rumored to be a potential Bond Girl, and

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: she said her interest depends on the script, but she

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: admitted that she was a big fan of the franchise. However,

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: she said that she would rather be James Bond herself.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Did she really say this?

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: She doesn't want to be a Bond Girl, she wants

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: to have the main gig. She wants to be Bond.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I fear.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: I feel like Sidney Sweeney should know better. This is

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: a pretty quick way to commit career suicide. And people

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: are tired of seeing classic characters perverted to uh spread

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: a political message. And look, if you want to if

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: you want to do a new character, that's a okay,

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Just don't swap our beloved characters. That's all we're asking here.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Nobody would be happy if Ryan Gosling has started showing

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: up as the tomb rate Laura Croft. You know that

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: doesn't work. Work that doesn't work, and vice versa is

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: also true. Sidney Sweeney is not James Bond. If she

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: wants to be a Bond girl or some other you

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: know spy that works for the Secret Service who wants

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: to be Double O eight. That's fine, Just don't change

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Double Bond.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah instead of James Bond.

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jane Bond.

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So Sweeney said she's open to

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: the franchise, but she's really cautious about the role. And meanwhile,

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: the Bond Conversation, they're saying it's evolving about casting and

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: just you know, maybe evolving and expanding representation for the series.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: Liberals in Hollywood have been eviscerating pop culture for at

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: least a decade now, and it seems like virtually nothing

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: has gone untouched. If you look at the way Star

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Trek I. E. Kurtzman Trek has absolutely been ruined, or

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: the well, yeah, did you.

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: See that They rolled out that new series and only

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: less than two thousand people watched it.

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, More people were watching a nerd Rotics stream of

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Spock sitting in a chair.

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: More people are listening to us right now, Yes, and yes,

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: watch that.

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: Well, it's because they are ruining the legacy that had

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: been built for them. Kathleen Kennedy and Disney famously did

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: the same with Star Wars Doctor who also in the

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: Tank Doctor who recently obtained the dubious achievement of having

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: a lower rated episode than in their debut season in

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties. Fewer people are watching today than when

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 2: it was first introduced. I don't know how you look

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: at that and avoid concluding that this is a problem.

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Kathleen Kennedy stepping down after thirteen years, thank god, And

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if Lucasfilm will they change the direction of

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that franchise.

54
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Probably not, not significantly. With Disney, well, they've been disneyfied.

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: And then also these are her hand picked successors, Dave Filoni,

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: who has been a part of the process every step

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: of the way. He's already the creative director of Lucasfilm,

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: and then Lynn Winn Brennan. Because of course, one feminized

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: man isn't enough to take the shoes over for Kathleen Kennedy.

60
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: You got to get somebody else in there. And that's

61
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: going to be a problem in it of itself, because

62
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: it never works out when you try to bifurcate leadership

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: in any endeavor. Somebody has to take ultimate authority. And

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: when you have two titans that are trying to jostle

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: for control. It never works out well. Downstream, they're going

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: to get conflicting directives, and I don't have a lot

67
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: of confidence for Star Wars being able to clean up

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: their act at this point. But I'm still glad to

69
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: see Kathleen gone
