I think 24 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: as long as horror is vital, and it usually is 25 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: now more than ever, there's room for a scary movie, 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: and so I am delighted that scary movie is back 27 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: with us, opening June twelfth. Joelle, your thoughts about the 28 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: Scary Movie trailer? 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 3: Okay, I am thrilled that they were leaning into the 30 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: Anna and Regina of at all. I think that's a 31 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: lot of people's favorite characters. Their scenes together are all 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: always hysterical, like side splittingly good, and I think they've 33 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: both only improved on their like comedy skills since the 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: last film. Like you know, uh Anna's been doing sitcom work, 35 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: which is that people want to write off sitcoms, but 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: it's really challenging to like get that pace. You're performing 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: for three cameras at all times. It's exhaustive work. And 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 3: she did Moms for like was the seven season something 39 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: crazy like that, And Regina Hall is Regina Hall continuing 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: to be funny major movies everywhere. So I think the 41 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: fact that they're sort of letting those two steer the 42 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: ship and be the lead focus for the film is 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: really exciting to me, and especially because some of these 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: like movies we have had a really good run of, 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 3: like iconic films like Smile has two movies out, both 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: were pretty good. 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: I like the first one a little bit better. 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: Wednesday swept up Everything get Out literally redefined the genre 49 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: weapons continuing to win awards, which is a shock for horror. 50 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: We almost never see that. So I think now is 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 3: like the perfect time for a screen movie. 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: So I got Really the trailer was hysterical, so I'm really. 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Exciting it was hysterical. Here is my one note. I 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: think pronoun jokes are hack at this point is my 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: personal feeling. Okay, okay, I feel and I think you'll agree. 56 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Woke Too is coming, and I do wonder if scary 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: movie miss time.

It 79 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: has recently been revealed, like I don't know, like thirty 80 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: six hours ago, right this news brook that Tom Holland 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: and Zendaia were married. This was I believe leaked by 82 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: Zendia's stylist who just kind of happened to drop it. 83 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: It's too the marketing. 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: It's the marketing brain in me says that this is 85 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: not a coincidence that this information leaked right before or 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: and the wedding chapel is announced ahead of the movie 87 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: The drama. 88 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: I feel like this is part of it. 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: I just I love the conspiracy theory, Jason, And it 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: makes sense because it felt very flippant, like law roach 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: Zandia's stylist was on the carpet. They were like, hey, 92 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: are you getting excited for the wedding?

What does 106 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: that mean? Will people be spitting fires glitter instead of confetti, Like, 107 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: I have questions I need to see.

Is really the question? 112 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: I mean, we will find it out pretty great. 113 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 2: That was pretty great. 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: I will say that, like, I find it doubtable that 115 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: law Roach could drop this news without getting the okay 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: of Zendaiah and her team at large. I just don't 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: think that you could just say this raw and unfiltered 118 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: on the red carpet. 119 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: They're besties. They've worked together for menues since she was 120 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: like thirteen. Still he's not spilling the beat. Know what 121 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: I'm saying is he's not spilling the beest. I agree 122 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 3: with you, Like I do. You feel like there's no 123 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 3: way she has not approved of this decision before it happened. 124 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: She does. 125 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 3: She's queen of promoting her films, let's be honest, not 126 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: doing it better. So I'm feeling this. I'm feeling this. 127 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: This is I think this Here's theory is correct. 128 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll be back with 129 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: more headlines. 130 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: Up next. 131 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: The Actor Awards formerly the Screen Actor Guild Awards happened 132 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: some notable events Marty Supreme shutout. It feels as if 133 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: there is a growing narrative within Hollywood that goes something 134 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: like this, Joelle, Tim and the shallowy is young. He's 135 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of chances. And I think that 136 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: we could be headed for a situation and maybe not unfairly, 137 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: where Tim doesn't really land one until like his forties, 138 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: because of this dynamic where we're thinking, man, Tim, he's 139 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: the young young star on the come, and he's gonna 140 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of shots, and you know, let's look 141 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: in a different direction. 142 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: He wanted to be Leonardo DiCaprio, and so that is 143 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: probably accurate. And I think it's fine that you don't 144 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: win for Marity. I don't think this is the best 145 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: work Timmy has shown us. Like I would have heard 146 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: he be nominated and win for Doune as opposed to this, 147 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: So hopefully. 148 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: He's feel a little okay about it. 149 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: It is difficult, I think, to be one ceremony after 150 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: another after such a lauded like performance. And I was 151 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: very buzzy, and so I know it's like a challenge 152 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: to just sit there and lose every week. But also, 153 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: you're gonna be fine. You got millions, Your girl got billions. 154 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 3: You gonna make another movie. Timmy is gonna be all good. 155 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 3: Don't eve worry about it.

Been a tough couple of weeks 177 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: coming off the Bath Doz and so to see like 178 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 3: that entire group of Centers community get to celebrate him 179 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: and for him to be uplifted for what was a 180 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: really great job like that role is not easy that 181 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: we have to do a lot of really complicated things 182 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 3: to play both of those characters. I think this award 183 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 3: season has been really interesting. I have two questions for you. One, 184 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: I think the Actor Awards is doing it better than 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: all of the other word ceremonies or where would you 186 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: rank it, because I felt as far as like a classic, 187 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: like I think. 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 1: There's a Yeah, I think there's a looseness and a 189 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: and a level of comfort from the participants and from 190 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: the event in general that just makes it an easy watch. 191 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: It's kind of like why, like I always liked watching 192 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the Independent Spirit Awards, you know too, Yeah, oftentimes more 193 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: than the Oscars because it's just everybody's having a great time, 194 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: maybe they're a little tipsy. Nobody's thinking like, oh what 195 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: if I mess up? What if this happens? What if 196 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: the timing here is wrong. What if I get cut 197 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: off on my speech. Everybody's just like letting it rip 198 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: in a way, and I think I think the Actors 199 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Awards are like that. 200 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: They were letting it rip. 201 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: For instance, Seth Rogan who accepted for the CEO which 202 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: won Best Comedy, paid wonderful tribute to Catherine O'Hara, which 203 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: was absolutely beautiful, and got the time to do that. 204 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: Also made a quick took a quick job at the 205 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: WJA saying, you know what an honor to win this award. 206 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: There is a great award show. They got food, drinks, 207 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: and shit. This is incredible. I mean the cursing, that's 208 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: another thing. You know, like again letting it rip. It's 209 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: not one hundred million degrees in here. Wonderful you were 210 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: able to pay your own employees enough to keep the 211 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: award show from being canceled. Take notes, WGA, which the 212 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: Writers Guild Awards, was canceled. This by the way, I've 213 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: seen many writers and many people who are kind of 214 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: below the producers and the actors in the pecking order 215 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: have noted that first of all, it's the talent and 216 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: the producers that are soaking up all the money. So 217 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: there's barely any money left for the writers, So that's 218 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: part of the problem. The other part of the problem 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: is guys like Seth who are writing but get get 220 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: paid as producers, soaking up all the fees and soaking 221 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: up all the money. So while it was a funny job, 222 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people who are like, 223 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: look in the mirror, Seth Rogan. 224 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: But that's the kind of thing. 225 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: But that's why I like this awards show, because they're 226 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: just letting it rip and it's fun and people are comfortable. 227 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 3: It feels authentic, and I think, you know, yes, where 228 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: the award ceremony is created to union bust, Yes, but 229 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: we're here now years and years and years later. If 230 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: they're going to continue in a good faith way, I 231 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: think finding ways to actually honor the community. Someone made 232 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: a great point about the the sequence they do with 233 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 3: everyone who's passed in the past year, just being like 234 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: so thorough like you know, yes, you're you're big stars, 235 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: but also folks who've just been around and working as 236 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: this industry are actively a part of this community. So yeah, 237 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: I had a really good time watching this Awards ceremonies, 238 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: and I'm glad that this year, like it's anybody's game. 239 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: Like Oscars is a total toss up. There's no clear 240 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: winner of a movie. And I think that's the sign 241 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: of a healthy film industry. 242 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: I cletally agree and and great movies all around this 243 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: year for at every level. 244 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: It's wonderful. 245 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: Jared Harris of The Crown of mad Men has instructed 246 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: lawyers to take action over an AI podcast deep fake 247 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: quote a perfect example of concerned creatives have over the 248 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: misuse of AI, says his lawyers. Jared took legal action 249 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: after a new podcast used artificial generated. 250 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: Likenesses of him. 251 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: The podcast Films Not Made uses AI to create trailers, 252 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: Jesus and promotional material for unproducer Unrealized Movie Concepts. In 253 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: its promotional material for the trailer this week, the show 254 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: included a deep fake image of Harris, even though he 255 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: was neither contact nor agreed to be involved. This is 256 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't happen. And by 257 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the way, if you just offer to pay talent, I 258 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: bet you this stuff goes away. Hey, could we use 259 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: you and we'll pay? If not, okay, then we move on. 260 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: It's really that simple. 261 00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: Pay people. 262 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: This shouldn't be a license to just steal the likeness 263 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: of folks and create a representation of people's minds that 264 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: they're either attached with the project or attached with the projects. 265 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 3: That you are talking about. 266 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: This is crazy. Just pay people. 267 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: It's a little bit maddening, particularly when you know Deadline 268 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: had talked to the podcast host us Amy Hobby and 269 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: Avis as Wider and Wider has this to say, We're 270 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: all breathing in the same air. 271 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: Now. 272 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: These tools exist. They've been trained on everything, actors, filmmakers, books, scripts, art, 273 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: all of us. We've been swept into something none of 274 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: us can consented to. That's the atmosphere. The question is 275 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: what you do once you're breathing it in to which 276 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: Harris had sent out a general statement to Deadline and 277 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: had this to say, Frankly, the suspicion unrests entirely with 278 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: the human element that wields itay, not the technology itself. 279 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: My control over these of my image is protected by 280 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: contract and settled state and federal law. I have not 281 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: seen it that right through any prior professional association or relationship. Accordingly, 282 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 3: I've instructed my lawyer to use issues asta da dada. Basically, 283 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: what he's saying is like, it's still my freaking image. 284 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: It is crazy to people like, well, AI is here, 285 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: what can you do? 286 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: Like the shoulder strug. He's so angry. 287 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 3: That's someone's like. It takes so long for a human 288 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: being to like align their personality with their body and 289 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: be like, hey, this body that's out here, I'm like 290 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: confident and comfortable in that. And then when you're a performer, 291 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: there's an additional layer of like I have trained my 292 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: body and voice and everything, like abuse myself emotionally and 293 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: physically to be able to put on a role. It's 294 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 3: literal work. It's so much effort for you to just 295 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: come steal and be like, well, the technology is there, 296 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: why are you upset? 297 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: Is egregious? Egregious, it's terrible. It must be so that's ridiculous. 298 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Finally, some rapid fire headlines, HBO Max and Paramount will 299 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: be combined into one streaming platform, folks. And this is 300 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: of course part of the effects of the Paramount purchase 301 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: of Warner Brothers Discovery and as maybe a not great 302 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: effect for Paramount and the Ellison family of that purchase. 303 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: Paramount's credit has been downgraded to joke status over debt 304 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: worries that debt being a absolutely monstrous seventy plus billion 305 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: dollars in debt. 306 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 3: In order to do you don't have to sacrifice to 307 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: protect HBO Max. That app is doing the Lord's work. 308 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: Please Paramount, don't crush it, like, oh, I'm so sick 309 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: about this. 310 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Lord and Miller have said that Project tail Mary, the 311 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: upcoming adaptation of the book of the same name starring 312 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling as a just regular guy science teacher who 313 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: saves the world, have said that their upcoming movie will 314 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: contain not eight single green screen shot in the entire movie. 315 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: They built the set of the spaceship. Everything basically takes 316 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: place inside of that or directly on the outside of that. 317 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: One would assume maybe there's some sort of volume situation. 318 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: But that's really cool. 319 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: That's great news because this is such an integral part 320 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 3: to the story for this, and I think if you 321 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 3: were gonna try to green skit at all, Ryan would 322 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 3: have like a herculean task performing that, especially with no 323 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 3: other humans directly to act across. 324 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I think this is the best. 325 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: Bet Marvel rivals and MCU fans. You're gonna find some 326 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: MCU tie ins as we approach Avengers Doomsday. That's according 327 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: to GameSpot, that's gonna be fun for Marvel Rivals fans. 328 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: I've stopped playing it. That said makes a lot of sense. 329 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: This is exactly why you license IP to a video 330 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: game property. And then finally the Lanterns teaser. 331 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: Is out, Oh my god. 332 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: And folks, I'm like, it's a very grounded take, very 333 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: grounded take, which I think they have been telegraphing.

You don't like them. You're 376 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm a better leader, You're washed up.

Yes, I am a. 389 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: Cliche of a cliche, and I'm staying at the hotel 390 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 4: themed after my favorite big Boy, the King of the 391 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 4: Monsters himself, and it is in credible. There are dioramas, 392 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 4: there are posters, And while I could gush about the 393 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 4: life sized Godzilla head that sits above Shinduku's famed Kobuchiko nightlife, 394 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: host clubs and bustling convenience stores all day, this is news, news, news, 395 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 4: It's news. 396 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 6: So I'm here to tell you about the. 397 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 4: Queen of the Monsters, Mathra, who is celebrating her sixty 398 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 4: fifth anniversary this year. And while you may say, well, 399 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 4: how could that be seeing as she debuted in nineteen 400 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 4: sixty four's Mathra versus Godzilla, Well, Mathra didn't originally come 401 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: from the silver screen, unlike Godzilla. Instead, she was introduced 402 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 4: in the nineteen sixty one serialized novel The Luminous Fairies 403 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: and Mathra by authors Takehiko Fukunaga, Shinichiro Nakamura, and Yoshihota. 404 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: This gorgeous collection of stories was just released in the 405 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 4: US for the very firm time ever, but was first 406 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 4: serialized in Asahi Weekly, one of Japan's popular fiction magazines, 407 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 4: and it continued the anti nuclear messaging of the iconic 408 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: nineteen fifty four Godzilla movie with Mothra's very envoys to 409 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 4: thirty centimeter high twins known as Shijobin, helping to rid 410 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: infant Island of the scourge of nuclear testing. It also 411 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 4: features sick vampire plants, and of course, the origin story 412 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 4: and debut of Mathra herself, who hatches from a glowing 413 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 4: egg and heads to Tokyo Bay, one of the most 414 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 4: iconic Godzilla locations, which I was lucky enough to see 415 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 4: with my very own eyes earlier today, and then she 416 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: is called. 417 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 6: Home by her fairies. She would go on to. 418 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 4: Star in twenty eight projects and many more to come, 419 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure, including films, TV series and animated shorts. Her 420 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 4: loving and generous non nature makes her stand out from 421 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 4: Godzilla and his other often fearsome antagonists. That is why 422 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 4: she is still one of the most beloved of all 423 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: Godzilla characters. 424 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 6: She has also expanded into the legendary Monster Verse series 425 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 6: when she was teased in. 426 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 4: Godzilla King of the Monsters with the introduction of one 427 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: of the Mathra twins, who then, of course was lucky 428 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 4: enough to see Mathra unveil her beauteous wings for the 429 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 4: very first time in that iconic monster mash. But it 430 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 4: would be later in Godzilla X Kong, or as it 431 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: was supposed to be pronounced, Godzilla Kong, the New Empire, 432 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 4: where she would find her true place in the Monster Verse, 433 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 4: and a new origin story that sets her into the 434 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 4: center of the Hollow Earth where those movies are set. 435 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 4: It's very interesting that we mess Mofer as a woman 436 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 4: and we use she pronouns. 437 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 6: But there have been other Mafers. 438 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 4: If any of you read my delightful story Godzilla Rivals 439 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 4: Versus Batra, you will have met Batra, a similar but 440 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 4: different iteration of Mathra, who is essentially an evil version 441 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 4: of our beloved Queen of the Monsters. Mafra has also 442 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 4: had a son, if you can believe it. His name 443 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 4: is Mothra Leo, a male Mafra Lava who appeared alongside 444 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 4: He's not identical twins sister in Godzilla Tokyo Sos. There 445 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 4: were also other iterations of the character. And another great 446 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 4: fact that I love about Mathra that I'm going to 447 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: share with you on this day is it realistically Matra 448 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 4: is unlikely to actually be a moth and instead was 449 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 4: inspired by silkworms. 450 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 6: She is a very, very very powerful character. 451 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 4: One of the things that makes the original Toho Godzilla movies. 452 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 4: So iconic are the incredible suits that the monster actors 453 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 4: would wear to play them. But of course, as Mathra 454 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 4: is a flying character, she introduced a new challenge to 455 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: the creators at Toho and instead of the iconic monster suit, 456 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 4: they created a wire operated mechanical puppet. 457 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 6: It was a incredible feat. 458 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 4: Interestingly, Matra's solo films have been rather sparse. 459 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 6: It's not due to lack of trying. 460 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 4: There is, of course, Versus Godzilla, and as the show 461 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 4: era entered into the Heyset era, there was a lot 462 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: of conversation and attempts to try and create a Mathra 463 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 4: standalone movie. 464 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 6: But unfortunately, and. 465 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 4: You know fortunately because some of these were incredible movies, 466 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: This movie and this project was pushed back for films 467 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 4: like Godzilla Versus Orlante Godzilla US's King Goddira. I mean, 468 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: there's so many fantastic movies and done. 469 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 6: We would eventually get another Godzilla versus Motha movie. 470 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 4: In nineteen ninety two, over thirty years since she debuted 471 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 4: in that fantastic novel that you should all check out 472 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 4: right now. And something very interesting here is this is 473 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 4: where Mothra got her energy beams that shot out of 474 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 4: her eyes very exciting, and this is also where we 475 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 4: began to see her beautiful sparkling wings. That affair, which 476 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 4: is very iconic and instantly recognizable to those of us 477 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 4: who are Mathra. 478 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 6: Fans, was not in her original iteration. 479 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 5: It's very interesting that while now that movie is seen 480 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 5: with a rather fond, nostalgic vision, at the time its 481 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 5: financial success was not enough to make the hardcore Godzilla 482 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 5: fans happy because they felt like Mothra was too colorful, 483 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 5: too bright, and too mathraish. 484 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 4: Honestly, in my opinion, because that's why we love her. Luckily, 485 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 4: she was so successful financially that we did get another movie, 486 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 4: Rebirth of Mara Mathra just four years later, directed by 487 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 4: Okahiro Yinida, with special effects that I have always loved 488 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 4: deeply by Koichi Kawakawa, and we would see again in 489 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 4: this era another iconic Mothra movie, Godzilla Mothra and King 490 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 4: Vero Giant Monsters All Out Attack directed. 491 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 6: By Shasu Kineiko, which is one of my favorite movies 492 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 6: in this franchise. Martha only ended up in that movie because, unfortunately. 493 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: For dear old Annageiris a more of a deep cut antagonist. 494 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 6: She replaced him due to the fact that Toho had. 495 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 4: Recently had a issue with the financial flot of Godzela 496 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 4: Versus Megajeris, which she was an original antagonist that didn't 497 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 4: necessarily do very well. We also got another great Motha 498 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 4: movie in two thousand and three is Godzilla Tokyo sos 499 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 4: I adore that movie. It's so much fun, It's a 500 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 4: total monster mash, and it has this fantastic Zero's esthetic. 501 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 4: When it comes to Mathra in the modern Japanese canon, 502 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: we have yet to see her. Obviously, it does feel 503 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 4: like Godzilla minus one and the upcoming Godzilla minus zero 504 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 4: are unlikely to introduce a version of Mathra, as they 505 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 4: are very much about Godilla as a force of nature 506 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 4: rather than Godzilla as a character. It will be interesting, though, 507 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 4: because Tokyo does need to rebuild and Mothra is usually 508 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 4: a forceful good in that way. Plus, if we look 509 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 4: at the timeline, it would make sense for them to 510 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 4: potentially bring back Mathra in that next movie, which we 511 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 4: obviously cannot wait for, especially as it was just announced. 512 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 6: Guys. 513 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 4: To tie this back into the noosiness of it all, 514 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 4: that Godilla Minus zero will have a wide release in Imax, 515 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 4: so you know that we will be covering that when 516 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 4: it comes out. Thank you for listening to me talk 517 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: about one of my favorite characters, Mothra, and give you 518 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 4: a brief history of some of the movies you should 519 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: watch if you are interested.

Make a wish, Mara a Mofra. 527 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 4: If we were to call for help overtime oversea like 528 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 4: a wave, you'd come, our guardian angel, Matha. 529 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 6: We need you right now.
