1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: And now it's time for Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,280

00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Wienerschnitz at Let's Serves Beer.

4
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Good Evening America. This week, Avatar, Fire and Asham dominates

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: the box office, while Disney's other franchises just keep printing

6
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: money and a lot of mid level films are struggling.

7
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: But we've also got some trouble to report on with

8
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: Will Smith, Tyler Perry, and Mickey Rourke. May I might

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: give you some a list of Disneyland rides that are

10
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: closed this month, and some oscar predictions. And more importantly,

11
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: it is public Domain Day in America.

12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: Sam, you know, yeah, yeah, everything that's what is it?

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: One hundred years old? Any intellectual property that's one hundred

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: years old is put into public domain. It's more like

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: ninety five okay, ninety five years old, okay, okay.

16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Now, now there are always exceptions to public domains. There's

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: we're not going to go into them right now. I'm

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: just going to say, I'm going to list off some

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: things that you might want to make a T shirt of,

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: and you could now do it legally, excellent, or you

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: can make a reboot stuff like that. Let's see, I

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: think the biggest one, the big headline here is Betty Boop.

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: Knock yourself out, Sam with their Betty Boop stuff.

24
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: I know that there's a lot of people out there,

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: is it like because I know that, Like, for example,

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: we had Mickey Mouse, but it was just a steamboat

27
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Willie version of Mickey Mouse that went into public domain.

28
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: And the and the plane crazy.

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Now with Betty Boop, are there other versions of Betty

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: Boop that you can't use or is that just all

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: Betty boop work is now public domain? And if you

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: want to make a horror film with Betty Boop, you

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: now can.

35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: I think you can make a horror film if you

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: check the Betty Boop that is out. You got to

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: do a little research. So it's not don't get your

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: legal advice from me, but actually you should. But you shouldn't.

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm talking about, So you got

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to look into it. But Betty Boop in general, you

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: can do some Betty Boop stuff because, like what you're

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: saying is true. Just because Mickey Mouse went into the

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: public domain doesn't mean all Mickey Mouse, and it just

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: means these certain images, but you're talking about it. If

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: it's a cartoon, you could take any image from that

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: cartoon and you could probably do a lot, because who's

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: going to come after you some ninety five year old man. Now,

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there might be people who own the rights

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: now and they've been making Betty Boop key chains for

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: a long time, and they're gonna come after you, maybe

51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: if you abuse their what they're making, if you're competing

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: with them, But I mean they would have to go

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: to court and say, well, look they yes, your honor

54
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: Betty Boop is in the public domain in these images,

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: but they they use this image, you know, and and

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: if it's like well, you're like, well you're on her.

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: This whole movie is thousands of images. Every frame is

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: in the public domain. I use this one over here,

59
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: and they're like upset by it. But we're going to

60
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: bring in forensic experts to see which frame you used

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: and how different it is, and it's not going to happen.

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: So I think they're just not going to go after

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: people that are that are legitimately using Betty Boop images

64
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: that are similar to the ones in in that that

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: have you know, really officially entered the domain. It's usually

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: like a cartoon that enters in the domain and then

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: you've got thousands of images. Now with Mickey Mouse, it's

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: a little different, and we'll get to that in a second.

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: There's a there's a Pluto that's in the public domain,

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: and he was I guess his name was Rover in

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: early cartoons, okay, And because there was a cartoon called

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: The Chain Gang and one called The Picnic where he's

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: there as Rover and he's not called Pluto yet, but

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: he looks like Pluto. So knock yourself out. Blondie from

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: the Blondie and Dagwood comic strips by Chick Young. That

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: was a big deal when I was a kid, because

77
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: Blondie ended up from a comic strip to cartoons to movies.

78
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: There were actual feature films with Blondie and Dagwood. I

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: love those things. Some other stuff that no one cares about.

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: And then nine new Mickey Mouse cartoons, sam really, yeah,

81
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: nine new ones you cannot.

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: Just like Steamboat Willie. There's other forms of Mickey Mouse

83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: out there that we can now start parding if we.

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: Want, Yeah, if you want. And then some Mickey Mouse

85
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 2: comic strips which are really cool. I looked into those

86
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: and you know, all of those might make a nice

87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: T shirt for your your T shirt boutique. And ten

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: New Silly Symphonies cartoons. Have a good knock yourself out

89
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: with that movies movie Sam All Quiet on the Western

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: Front with directed by Lewis Milestone in winner of the

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: Academy Award for Best Picture. Think about that. Go ahead

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: and release it on DVD and sell it to your

93
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: friends at the SWAMI. I don't know what you're going

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: to do with this, but what's good about it maybe

95
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: is if you're making another film and you want to

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: use clips like a documentary, and you want to use

97
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: clips that you don't need a license, use them from

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: All Quiet on the Western Front. Some other movies that

99
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: have found of the public domain Bing Crosby's first feature

100
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: film appearance in King of Jazz, and this one I

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: think is one of the big ones. Cimarron, a classic

102
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: epic western directed by Wesley Ruggles and also one the

103
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: Oscar for Best Picture. Wow, so that I think it

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: was earlier that it was made, but it was registered

105
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: for copyright in nineteen thirty and that's what's expiring. Things

106
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: that are registered in nineteen thirty, So that's when you

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: see that movie. Like, if you see some of these

108
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: that fall in the public domain, they're barely talkies, you know.

109
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: But Cimmarron is legitimate western where you're gonna see all

110
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 2: the tropes from westerns that were made after that, all

111
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: in Cimarron and do what you want with it. Animal Crackers,

112
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: the classic Victor Heerman film starring the Marx Brothers, now

113
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: in the public domain. Soup to Nuts featuring the first

114
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: appearance of the Three Stooges.

115
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: Nice.

116
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a Hell's Angels. It's a Howard Hughes movie.

117
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Howard Hughes directed it and Gene Harlow's film debut right

118
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: before or right after the casting the casting catch was

119
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: cleaned and refurbished. Now the other ones, Oh yeah, I

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: always like this. This is not the first one, but

121
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: another film from Alfred Hitchcock has fallen into the public

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: domain called Murder, And then this one is fan fascinating.

123
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: I encourage my listeners to just google Lage d'Or, which

124
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: is really French, yes, the Golden Age age or if

125
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: you wanted to, if you're having trouble. Luis Bunuel, famous director,

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: but written by Bunuell and Salvador Dolly. Oh wow, Now

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: when you see this, you're gonna go, okay, yeah, I

128
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: believe it. This is directed by Salvador Dolly because it's weird.

129
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: Starts off with the documentary on scorpions. That's the first

130
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: part of the movie that he goes into the story.

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: That sounds a little strange.

132
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: How it is. But you know what, if you if

133
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: you google sounds Salvador dolli esque. If you google these

134
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: movies like Cimarron and uh lage d'Or, it comes up

135
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: with like, here's a little bit about the movie. And

136
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: by the way, here's the movie and there's just a

137
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: an embedded uh it's a movie you can stream right

138
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: there from Wikipedia. Oh cool, yeah, very cool. And how

139
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: much time we gotten this thing?

140
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: I forgot about one minute?

141
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: One minute? Okay. So there's some books that are in

142
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: the public domain, very important books like T. S. Eliot

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: and other classics and these books. You know again, I

144
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: mean something that you can start a business with. Public

145
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: domain stuff be fun business, you know, if you're just

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: releasing things that are in the public domain or making

147
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, merchandise out of things that you don't have

148
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: to pay royalties to and you don't have to talk

149
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: to a lawyer about or if you're making a documentary,

150
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: this is a really good place to or even like

151
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: when I was making these paranormal TV shows that I

152
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: made for Fox Nation, which are still on Fox Nation

153
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: right now, I had to use a lot of licensed

154
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: film just to tell my stories, and public domain film

155
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: was very helpful to me. And that's how I made

181
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: is a like it's going to be a huge box

182

Speaker 2: She's been quoted as saying like she just wants to.

185
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: She knows that there's a window of when she can

186
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400

187
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: wants to make them on now so she can make

188
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:28,280

190
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: of all time. Zutopia two. Sam is the number one

191
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: movie of twenty twenty five, not Avatar.

192
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: So as far as like money making and the entire

195
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: was the top grow money maker.

196
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: It even beat we bought a Zutopia three, which which

197
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: had a strong first quarter and then kind of dropped

198
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 2: out after that. Yeah, shocking, wow, Zutopia two. In the end,

199
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: the winner is Zutopia two.

200
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: So I don't even know what to make of that.

201
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 2: Well, I haven't even seen it. Yeah, I'm gonna see

202
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: it this week. You know. It's one of those things

203
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: where I should see it. But you know, I don't

204
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: even have any kids. Utopia one.

205
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you've seen that yet, have you.

206
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: I haven't seen Zutopia one. I always start in two's

207
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: starting two. Okay, I didn't even know what's breaking bad.

208
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: I just went straight to Better Call Sault season two. Okay.

209
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: Number one is Avatar, Number two, is Utopia number three,

210
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: Housemaid number four, Marty Supreme, and a Condo number five,

211
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,760

212
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: musical Christian Thing song Sung Blue number eight, which I

213
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: saw this week. We'll talk about Wicked for good five

214
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: nights at Freddy's. Okay, they'll go in strong. Yes, yeah,

215
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: that's a winner. It's a great box office week right now.

216
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: It's one of the biggest box offices in years.

217
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: I've heard, so this season's holiday box office actually put

218
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: up some big numbers, which is really reassuring.

219
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, very reassuring. And uh, let's get to the

220
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: movies that I saw. Start with Avatar Broke Down. It's

221
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: being prepared for a movie that I think can make

222
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: a difference. Like I knew I needed to see this movie.

223
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: I do this radio show. It's gonna be the biggest

224
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: movie of the year, I thought, But nevident, I didn't

225
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: see the biggest movie of the year. So I got

226
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: to see this. But how how am I going to

227
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: pull this off? The movie's long. I don't I didn't

228
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: really care about I don't care about this movie franchise.

229
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't care about these blue people. I will say

230
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: the ride at Disney World is one of the best

231
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: rides of Disney's ever come up with, maybe the best.

232
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: So it's definitely you know, got that going for it.

233
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: But man, I just don't care, and but my wife says, well,

234
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: I want to see it. All right, We're gonna have

235
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: to see this thing. Now. Here's what I did. I

236
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: waited until the time you got it. You have to

237
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: just you can't just go to theater and sit there

238
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: for that long and watch this movie if you're me

239
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: so where I saw it When the maid was cleaning

240
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: my house. When you're agonizing over how long she takes

241
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: and I still can't go back. You know, it's like

242
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: you look at your watch. Is she's still there? Oh

243
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: my gosh, I can see she hasn't locked the door

244
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: on my little door. App she's still there. Oh my god.

245
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: You're running around coming up with things to do. Like,

246
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: at no time in my life if I'm trying to

247
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: kill time because I'm so busy, other than when my

248
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: maid is cleaning the house. So my wife when I

249
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: were at Westminster Mall where it was her birthday, and

250
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: and so I'm, you know, taking around a shopping spree,

251
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: and I add my new thing, take the wife on

252
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: a shopping spree rather than you know, agonize over picking

253
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: out something. She's not gonna like he's going to return

254
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: it anyway. So we're them all it's going well. And

255
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: then then we're like, what do we do now? And

256
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: I go look at at one thirty five, we can

257
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: go to the lot in Newport Fashion Island, which is

258
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: an ultra luxury theater, and we can see the Avatar

259
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: film while our maid's cleaning the house and while we're

260
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: eating sushi and candy whatever else they keep bringing you

261
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: and the recliners there are altar recliners. They reclined almost

262
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: all the way. So they take a couple of naps,

263
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: you know, do some work, answer some emails, all while

264
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: Avatar fire and ashes playing My wife took two calls.

265
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: Two calls, and because the theater's so big, and our

266
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: seats are just like far away from the people, because

267
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: the seats are so massive. And then so it worked

268
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: out good. Now this movie would be at two hours

269
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: and twenty minutes, it would be a long, boring film

270
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: to most people. But at three hours and twenty minutes,

271
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: which is its actual running time, Oh my lord, what

272
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: are you going to do? Sam? Do you have that

273
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: kind of time?

274
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: No, Usually that's the kind of movie you're going to

275
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: have an intermission with for about ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah,

276
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: no intermission that's yeah, that's that's unnecessary.

277
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: It's abusive. All you're thinking about is all the executives

278
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: at Disney that are afraid to say no to this man.

279
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: And how do you when he's got like four billion

280
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: dollar movies when you throw in Titanic, Yeah, you can't

281
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: say anything to him. I would say, this is a

282
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: niche film. It's not going to do well at the

283
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: box office because it's too long and you can't even

284
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: run it that many times in the day at a theater.

285
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: So that's what everything going against us. It's a third one.

286
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: Nobody needs it. The second one just came out. Everybody's

287
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: tired of this franchise, so come on, just limit it

288
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: to like an hour and a half or something. Everyone's

289
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: going to be happy. And he says, know, go pound

290
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: sand and it comes out and it's one of the

291
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: biggest movies of all time. But it's no z Utopia too.

292
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: I would say.

293
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: I would say if he made it shorter, he could

294
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: have beat Zouotopia too. But that's on him.

295
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: That's actually an interesting point considering how much like run

296
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: time goes and how many times you get to actually

297
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: see the movie in the theater, how many times it

298
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: can run.

299
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: They can only run it on a screen like, you know,

300
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: two or three times a day, when Zutopia two can

301
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: run nine you know or whatever. Do the math. So anyway,

302
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: there's another couple of other problems in the film. Everybody

303
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: in it is ugly, and they make they're ugly because

304
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: they're they're blue, and they have weird noses, so they're

305
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: not appealing. Even the babies aren't cute, like baby Groot

306
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: or the child, so it's not it's got problems. That's

307
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: another problem. Now. I like good looking people on the screen.

308
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: I think that's a staple of Hollywood and movies. Good

309
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 2: Looking people should be on the screen. Bad Looking people

310
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: can be in Milwaukee on the streets. Look people are

311
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: on the screen, but they're not here anime. They're all

312
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: good looking people. I mean, you can fall in love

313
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: with an anime character. But the Niva, the Nava or whatever,

314
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: no matter how many personality tests Giovanna Rabisi gives them

315
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: in that laboratory, it's not appealing. All right, that's the

316
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: last scientology joke I'll ever make. I have a lot

317
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: of respect for that religion. All right, let's take a

318
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 2: break and we'll come back with more on Joe's Scalante

319
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: Live from Hollywood, Joe'scllante Live from Hollywood. But Hollywood, you

320
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: mean Burbank, all right, Sam, I want to apologize for

321
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: my scientology joke. Giovanna Rabisi is in Avatar and he's

322
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: great in it, and he hook someone up to a

323
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: machine and Idola kept thinking about what was the personality test?

324
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: But I'm a fan of scientology. I'm not a hater.

325
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm a Catholic, and the Catholics are hated and persecuted

326
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: throughout the world. In Nigeria, Sam, they are murdered on

327
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: the streets, so I know what it's like to be

328
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: in a persecuted religion. I have nothing but respect for

329
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: that scientology stuff. I have friends that are scientologists, and

330
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: my favorite thing about Scientology is what they do to

331
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: the buildings in Hollywood. They preserve them, they buy them.

332
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on inside. I don't need

333
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: to know. I've already got a religion. But wow, I mean,

334
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: some of the most beautiful buildings in Hollywood are owned

335
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 2: by the scientologists and they don't tear them down. So

336
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: good for you guys. Keep it up now. Other movies

337
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: I saw this weekend, Sam, did you see any I

338
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: don't want to ignore you.

339
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 3: I skipped the movies. I actually did do a retro

340
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: movie with my boy. I watched the original Star Wars

341
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: episode for New Hope or the first time all the

342
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: way through with my kid, and it was amazing that

343
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: he actually still had that. He actually now has the

344
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: attention span.

345
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: He'll sit all the way through it.

346
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: That's awesome, that's very good. Yeah, I have a similar

347
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: space story. I'll get to you later in the segment. Okay,

348
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: retro space, retrofuturism, which is the future? Yeah, okay. Song

349
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: Sung Blue Sam, I finally broke down and saw it.

350
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: The reason why I hesitated is because I don't like

351
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: movies about music business because they're always cheesy and there

352
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: are always a bunch of people standing around going, hey,

353
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: we have a dream, and if I just dedicate myself

354
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: and don't give up, my dream will come true. And oh,

355
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: listen to this song. I literally like it. Do you

356
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: like it? Oh? Look at us we're jamming. Oh it's

357
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: just so nauseating. It's just awful. So I don't watch them. However,

358
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: song Sung Blue Boy, was I wrong? What a great film.

359
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: If you're thinking, if you have the same doubts that

360
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: I have, go see Songs Sung Blue. You're not going

361
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: to see a better movie all year. I tell you

362
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: that right now. It's from Focused Features, written and directed

363
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: by an amazing director named Craig Brewer. He's a guy

364
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: from Memphis that started his career with a movie called

365
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: Hustle and Flow and directed another one of my favorite films,

366
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: which is Dolomite is my Name? Yeah about did you

367
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: see Dolomite is my Name? Yeah, that's a great movie.

368
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: Any Dolomite film is great experience. So this movie stars

369
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as the Mike and Claire Sardina.

370
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 2: It's a real life Midwestern couple who built a following

371
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: as Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning and Thunder. Everything

372
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: about that is wrong. If you have a Neil Diamond

373
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: tribute act, why isn't it called the Neil Diamond Experience

374
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: or Hot August Knights or Sweet Caroline.

375
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: You know, I came to America, Yes, we.

376
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Are coming to America or whatever. This movie this act.

377
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: But when you find out, the more you find out

378
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: the guy's like on the wrong end of a spectrum.

379
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: That and that's what kind of allows him to continue

380
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 2: despite all odds. He doesn't know what an odd is.

381
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: He is odd. It's adapted from a two thousand and

382
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: eight documentary of the same name, which focuses on marriage

383
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: and ambition and financial stress and the emotional pull of

384
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: music in the right doses. Okay, I don't like this, Like, hey,

385
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: I just like music. Music moves me. You know, I

386
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: don't know what else I could do in life if

387
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: I don't have many music Shut up, No one wants

388
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: to hear it. You know. Some people have to work

389
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: for a living and you're like whining over how much

390
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: music means to you. That's why I don't like those

391
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: kinds of movies. But this one is different because when

392
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 2: you see this guy, you realize he probably can't do

393
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: anything else. He's you know, I don't want to say

394
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: the art word, but there I almost said it.

395
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: He's slow.

396
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: Let's just say he's a little slow.

397
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: He's odd, and he was a Vietnam tunnel rat. So

398
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: I think this is where it starts. You know, he

399
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: back from the war and you know he's a little

400
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: He was crawling over dead bodies in rat tunnels. So anyways,

401
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman does a great job of portraying this guy.

402
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: He's a little when you watch the documentary. Here's my advice.

403
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: You watch the movie Song Sung Blue, and then you go, well,

404
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: I wonder where that documentary is. You start searching your platforms.

405
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: It's nowhere. So someone dropped the ball. Whoever owns that

406
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: documentary should have had it available on Netflix or something

407
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: right away. It's nowhere. He doesn't have it, but somebody

408
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: uploaded it to YouTube. You watch a whole thing on YouTube.

409
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: I believe it's the whole thing, but I watched it

410
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: and wow, and then you have a whole nother perspective.

411
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: And in this movie, I think Hugh Jackman played it

412
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 2: a little bit more likable and less spectr me. But

413
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: then when you see the real guy, you're like, WHOA.

414
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: And I'll give you another hint to why you should

415
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: go see the movie. Eddie Vedder's in it, or a

416
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: character playing Eddie Vetter excellent. It's like I got about

417
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 2: a thirty million dollar movie, but you know, it's made

418
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: about twenty five million at the box office right now.

419
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: So I think after award season, this movie is gonna

420
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: get profitable internationally. You know, I don't know do people

421
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: like Neil Diamond. On top of everything, Neil diamond songs

422
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: are amazing, and I think that's maybe why this movie

423
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: is less nauseating than other music movies, because these people

424
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: are not like the character's not like this is the

425
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: music coming from my heart. I have to tell my

426
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: story in music or I can't do anything in life. Okay,

427
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: we all know I hate these kind of movies, but

428
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: in this movie, they're like Neil Diamonds and music touches me.

429
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: And for everybody in America can relate to that because

430
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: when you hear these songs hit after hitter, you go,

431
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: these songs do touch me, they move me. So they're

432
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: they're already established, amazing American songs. So you are relating

433
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: to this guy and everybody in it because Neil Diamond

434
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: is frickin' awesome and this is at a time when

435
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: there weren't like I think Neil Diamond right now, if

436
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: he played a show at the Forum, he could play

437
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: three four nights. But you know there's a when this

438
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 2: movie's made, people are like kind of making fun of

439
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: Neil Diamond in the movie. What about Bob Bill Murray

440
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: kind of makes a joke of him, so he's I

441
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: think that was that hurt him? Do you remember that

442
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: that joke.

443
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 3: I don't remember the Neil Diamond joke in the movie,

444
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: but I do know the movie.

445
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: I love the movie, the guy says to him, and

446
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: I believe it's this movie. I can always conflate and

447
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: be wrong, But he says to to the guy says

448
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 2: to Bill Murray, and what happened your marriage? Why did

449
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: you split up? He goes, let me just say there

450
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: there there are two types of people in the world,

451
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: those who like Neil Diamond and those who do not.

452
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: So it's like that wasn't anyway kind of you know,

453
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: But I mean, Neil Diamond, what a So you're really

454
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: celebrating Neil Diamond. You're celebrating this, you know, triumph over tragedy,

455
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: and the tragedy is beyond belief in this movie. And

456
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: you just like, what do people like this do when

457
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: they are a little off and they believe they should

458
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: have a music career. This guy nailed it because he

459
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: had enough talent and he had picked the right path,

460
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: the right lane, so to speak. And but it's still

461
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: he still could not get a break, and you're gonna

462
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: enjoy this ride. And then when you get home, watch

463
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: the YouTube documentary. Don't watch it first, that will ruin it.

464
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: And watch songs Some Blue, then the song some Blue documentary,

465
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: and you're gonna thank me for this, because when I

466
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: tell people a lot of people time I like this movie,

467
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: they just say, no way, I'm so shocked that that

468
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: that movie is good. Or I wasn't. I was going

469
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: to ignore. I never was going to see it, you know.

470
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: So that's that's You're welcome, America. Well, thanks taking.

471
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: On behalf of all of America.

472
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: Thank you. You know what, I don't like the word hero,

473
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: and I don't like consider myself one. But you know,

474
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm just doing just doing my job, you know, doing

475
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: the lord's work, doing the lord's work on a Sunday.

476
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break, come back with Joe'scalante

477
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: Life from Hollywood.

478
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe, as you don't want my money, he does

479
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 4: it all for you.

480
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: Hey, Joe, let's golante right here on Indy. No, that's

481
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: how it used to be on Indian three one. I

482
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: was just thinking about Steve Jones listening to that song.

483
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: But a great time we had on the magic days

484
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: of that morning radio scene. But today we're on k

485
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: e IB eleven fifty on your AM dial, where I

486
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: have Ben Sam, I think for about sixteen seventeen years.

487
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not very good at anniversaries. It's

488
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 2: been a day, I guess, so all right. So, speaking

489
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: of a retro futurism, which we were talking about before

490
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: I went, and being prepared for a movie, there's movies

491
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: I go, I want to see that. You ever get that, Sam,

492
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: You're like, I want to see that, but I wanted

493
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: to be at the right time.

494
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, certain movies you have to be

495
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: in the right mindset, right mood for absolutely yeah.

496
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: And then some of your like I want to see that,

497
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: but I want to see it in a theater, like Frankenstein,

498
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: the new movie that's probably going to get Oscar consideration.

499
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: It's on Netflix. I watched it a little bit. I go,

500
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: I'd just rather see it in a theater. I've had

501
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: a couple invites to go to a theater screening of it,

502
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: but I couldn't make it. So that's another one. Another one,

503
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: Sam was two thousand and one a space Odyssey that

504
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: my parents saw when I was little, and they said

505
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: it was the most boring movie they ever saw. So

506
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: it just never was really on my radar until, you know,

507
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: and it really didn't do that well at the theaters.

508
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: But as people started realizing Stanley Kubrick is a genius,

509
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: we should listen to him, we should give this movie

510
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: a second thought, it became a hit after like repeat screenings,

511
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: and just now it's just a classic of all time

512
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: and the pinnacle of space film. Not the pinnacle maybe,

513
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: but the granddaddy of all space films. So I waited

514
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: and I waited. I've seen clips of it, and then

515
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 2: it started playing at this Seal Beach Bay Theater right

516
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: here in Seal Beach, California, recently renovated millions of dollars

517
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: of renovations, so beautiful. Great to see a movie there.

518
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: So I went to see it, and I you know,

519
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: some people still say it's boring and dumb or has

520
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: no point and falls apart at the end. I'm going

521
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: to put myself in the category of people who love it.

522
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: If you're kind of you don't know anything about it,

523
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: it's fundamentally changed cinema. Stanley Kubrick, the great director of Clockwork,

524
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: Orange and many other films, and released it in nineteen

525
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: sixty eight, And when you're sitting there thinking nineteen sixty eight,

526
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: while you're watching it, you just can't believe it's before

527
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: the moonland the moon Landing. This movie was me It

528
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: treated science fiction as a serious art, prioritizing realism. A

529
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: lot of silence and visual storytelling over exposition, not really

530
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: telling you what's going on. They're just like, you just

531
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: look at it and you just kind of guess or

532
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: but it's wonderful, and it's not that long. It's like

533
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: two hours and twenty minutes' not like a horrendous, torturous

534
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: three hours and twenty minutes like we had on Avatar.

535
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: It predicts technologies in the future way ahead of their time,

536
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: including tablet computers, video calling, artificial intelligence of course, and

537
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: most famously the How nine thousand, the calm murderous onboard

538
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: computer like my chat GBT who lied to me today

539
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: and told me that Florence Peter was going to get

540
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: an Oscar nominees for her work in Sinners? Yeah, are

541
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: you sure about that, guy? No, it's not in that movie. Okay.

542
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: What compused audiences and still challenges the people who see

543
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: it now is The movie largely abandons traditional plot in

544
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: favor of just like ideas like human evolution is a

545
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: big one technology mankind's place in the universe, and the

546
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: ending is intentionally ambiguous, meant to be felt rather than explained.

547
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: I think if you just kind of to contemplate that

548
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: right there, just feel it rather than have it explained,

549
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: then you get it, kind of like a Raserhead meant

550
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: to be felt rather than explained. I used to have.

551
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: My dream used to be to sit in a room

552
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: with David Lynch and watch Eraserhead and have them explain

553
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: everything to me. And then I became friends with David

554
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: Lynch overtime, and then it just became like I don't

555
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: need that. So two thousand and one space out to see.

556
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, you know, be nice to

557
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 2: see it in a big theater, but now everyone's got

558
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: those big giant screens at home, probably, but you got

559
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: to I just thought I would never have the patience,

560
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: so I want to sit and I I want to

561
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: pay attention to it. So that's why the theater forces

562
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: me to pay attention to it. I did, And if

563
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: you see it at home, you know people start calling you,

564
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: you push pause anyway. Here here's my Oscar predictions. Now

565
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't really have any, but i'll tell you what's

566
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: going on. When the Oscar is a little bit. People

567
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: are talking about Hudson in Song Sung Blue. She's got

568
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: a nomination for Golden Globe, and that sounds silly, like

569
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: who's going to nominate this girl for portraying someone in

570
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: a cover band? It's that good and her performance is amazing.

571
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman, he's good, But I would say Kate Hudson

572
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: is the steals the show in Song Sung Blue. So

573
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: other movies that probably Marty Supreme and Timothy shell May

574
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: that's probably going to clean up. But we're going to

575
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: get more and more into that as we get towards

576
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: we're in a road season. Sam it happens right now, Yeah,

577
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: animated Best Animated Feature, Go ahead and give it to

578
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: the Zoutopia two right now, Best Actor. Give it to

579
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: Timothy Shalloway right now. But there's a lot of Kate

580
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: pop demon Hunters might give it a run for its money.

581
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: But I think I think you're looking at Zootopia two

582
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: now and the time that we have left. Let's talk

583
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: about a few people that are in trouble. Will Smith

584
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: has god ensued someone followed a complaint against him in

585
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: superior Court on December thirtieth, alleging sexual harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation,

586
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: predatory behavior during a tour. This guy, it's a guy,

587
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: of course. His name's Brian King. I think. He claims

588
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: that after reporting a disturbing incident in his Las Vegas

589
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: hotel room, including a handwritten note with unsettling personal items

590
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: including AIDS medication that was left in his room and

591
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: like a weird note, he complained about it and they said, ah,

592
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: you made this up, and they fired him. Yeah, Brian

593
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: Joseph because his name. He says the experience caused him

594
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: emotional distress and financial loss and PTSD, and Smith's attorney

595
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: calls it false, baseless and reckless. So anyway, that one's

596
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: a weird one. But at least they're not like saying that, Yeah,

597
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: it's just run of the most sexual ass man. I

598
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: guess from because it was a sexual like thing that

599
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: was left.

600
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: In his room.

601
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: And then I guess they got I don't know. It

602
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: looks a little it looks like they're kind of tying

603
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: themselves in knots to make it more serious than it

604
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: probably is. Tyler Perry's got another one seventy seven million

605
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: dollar lawsuit filed by a guy named Mario Rodriguez, who

606
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: appeared in the twenty sixteen film Boo Medea Halloween. I

607
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: don't know how to pronounce madea. He claims that misconduct

608
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: took place years earlier, and he's seeking substantial damages. Okay,

609
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: so he says that he was sexually harassed by Tyler Perry.

610
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: But then some text messages floated up late this week

611
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: with Rodriguez and Perry exchanging very you know, amicable texts,

612

Speaker 2: expressing gratitude, discussing personal struggers, including health and financial issues,

614
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: but like in confiding in them. But so now these texts,

615
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,360
