1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Get your hands together and we're gonna start and.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: I'm ready a party Elvis Duran after party.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 3: And he's almost as hot as you, Juju' almost as

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: hot as you.

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 4: Stop there, stop there, stop there.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Let's get to the Juju Green Report and we'll let's

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: do a digest version so we can get you back

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: inside cause.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: You look cold.

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: Uh, but we want to know. We don't want to

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: do anything until we hear from you. Where do we

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: go to watch something? This weekend? Talk about it?

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 4: All right?

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: So this weekend we have a new film from MGM Studios.

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 5: I believe it's gonna be on time video maybe in

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 5: a couple.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: Of weeks, really fast.

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 5: They have a quick turnaround. But Mercy with Chris Pratt.

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: It is a.

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 5: Very interesting movie. I think the premise is pretty awesome.

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 5: It's about a guy who's a cop or like at

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 5: least an AJU justice system who creates an AI just

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: the system that puts everybody kind of like through this

24
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 5: like AI generated looking into your like weird like past

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 5: and everything, and then they are just geary and executioner

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 5: and he created it and then he actually becomes a

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 5: victim of it when he gets put on trial for

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 5: the death of his wife. So very interesting movie. It's

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 5: a different role for Chris Pratt. He's sitting for a

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 5: lot of it, so it's like a bottle episode of

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 5: a TV show.

32
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: I really liked it.

33
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 5: It's a lot of fun, it's pretty, it's pretty intense.

34
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit predictable, but to be honest, predictability

35
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 5: is sometimes we need nowadays. So Mercy Chris Pratt check

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: it out.

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: So why is it getting panned so early because everything

38
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that we've read has said this is terrible, don't watch it.

39
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, because again, it's that predictability nature of it.

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: It is. The conversation of AI.

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 5: And soilm is still kind of like almost like a

42
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 5: tired one, I guess, And it doesn't really do anything

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: to really invent the wheel. But I like it because

44
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 5: I do like Chris Pratt's charisma. I think Rebecca Ferguson

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 5: puts in a pretty cool performance as the AI judge.

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: There's banter between those two and it has a little

47
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 5: bit of that, like a missing element too. I don't

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: know if you ever saw the movies Missing or Searching,

49
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 5: but it has a little bit of that to it.

50
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 5: I hang my hat on the fact that it's better

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 5: than ice, cubes, war, war, the world.

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: I think everything is the world.

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so Mercy Chris Pratt in theaters and then in

54
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: prime video land soon right, yes, okay?

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Perfect? What else?

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: All right?

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 5: Next up, we have The Rip. This is a movie

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: Starry Best Friends of All Time Matt Damon and Ben Apflack.

59
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: It's a Netflix original. It's about excuse me. It's about

60
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: two cops who essentially like they specialize in breaking up rips,

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 5: which is essentially when like they hear tips from an

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 5: anonymous source that there's a bunch of money due to

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: a drug green shoots and trafficking whatever. They go to

64
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 5: it find out that there's a lot more money than

65
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: they were expecting, and now there's a lot of infighting

66
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 5: between the cops because they all kind of want the

67
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 5: money for their own reason, and there's like an outside

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: force that may or may not be the cartel that

69
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 5: also wants them to just kind of like lead the

70
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 5: whole situation.

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: Pretty cool stuff.

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 5: Again, It's predictable, but it still keeps you guessing enough

73
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: to where you think you might think you know where

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 5: it's gonna go, and it may and it's weird, like

75
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: you think you know where it's going to go, but

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 5: then it takes a lot of twist and turns and

77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 5: then it gets there anyway.

78
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: So it's pretty cool.

79
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 5: Tianna Taylor is in it, coming off of an Oscar

80
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: nomination this morning. Uh, I actually really really enjoyed the film.

81
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: It's a nice, easy watch for when you're at home.

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: I think it's the epitome of like an at home

83
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: thriller watch with competent actors of fun scripts, and it

84
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: gets pretty intense when like the guns start going off,

85
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: all right, and.

86
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: We definitely want to hear your guesses for Oscar picks

87
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: or winners. Matt Damon was actually talking about the formula

88
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: you have to you have to fulfill if you want

89
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: to do a Netflix film, you must have like a special, huge,

90
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: massive special effects catastrophe within the first five minutes, and

91
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: you have to you have to repeat storyline over and

92
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: over and over because people are distracted on their phone.

93
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Are you seeing more and more.

94
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: Films doing that?

95
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, So I've been noticing that a lot, where

96
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: you know, we always talk about films like it's always

97
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 5: the show, don't tell.

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: Netflix has come out.

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: And said that second second screen viewing is a thing,

100
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: so yes, taking into account that they are watching their phone.

101
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 5: This movie does that a lot where they explain the

102
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: plot as you're watching it and you're just kind of

103
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: like I like to watch movies like straight up, like

104
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: I like to pay attention. So it does get a

105
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 5: little bit annoying. Like one of my favorite mom coms

106
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: that I saw this year so far that I recommended

107
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: to you guys last week, People we Meet on Vacation,

108
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: had a little bit of that. But I think we're

109
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: gonna be seeing that a lot more, especially with like

110
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 5: the Netflix merger with like Warner Brothers that's and pending,

111
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: and we're gonna be seeing that a lot. So and

112
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it a lot yet, but I think

113
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six is a year where people are gonna

114
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 5: start taking notice.

115
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: And by the way, Danielle and I both saw People

116
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: You Meet on Vacation unreal. We love that. That was fantastic.

117
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 2: And he's so hot.

118
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: That guy is so hot.

119
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: He's almost as hot as you, Jude, You're almost as

120
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: hot as you.

121
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 5: Stop it, stop it, stop it all right?

122
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so the rip is on Netflix right now. Okay,

123
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: what else you got?

124
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: Y uh So, actually, that is all I got because

125
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: I've been preparing for this Sundance Film Festival, so I'll

126
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 5: actually have a lot of films for you guys to

127
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: watch once we get done here by next.

128
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: Week, though, I got a lot of film to watch for.

129
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: You guys and for the Oscars.

130
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: Am I guessing Best Picture? You're going to say Sinners.

131
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: Well, I would love to say Sinners for Best Picture.

132
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 5: But one bat after another has been cleaning house at

133
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 5: all the other award shows.

134
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: Okay, it's all well deserved.

135
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: However, the Oscar nominations have been had some really big shakeups,

136
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: and the Oscars and the Academy might be trying to

137
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 5: send a message, so a Thinners win is not out

138
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: of the question. I mean, they nominated deal Roy Lindo,

139
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 5: who has been absent from the awards race. Musaku has

140
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: been nominated, who's been out of the awards rates for

141
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 5: the most part, like it has the most nominations in history.

142
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: But as far as like wins, I think one battle

143
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: after another is gonna win a ton of awards. I

144
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 5: think the Shoe wins for Sinners. Best Original Screenplay, Best

145
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: Original Score.

146
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: Michael B.

147
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: Jordan does have a chance, but Timothy Shalloony. You know

148
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 5: that's Timmy c Timmy tim about thirty. It's a lot

149
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 5: of like very interesting things happening, like we know where

150
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: k pop de even to hunderstands Best Original Animated Feature,

151
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 5: Best Original Song. But as far as like director, I

152
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: will be pulling from my man Ryan Coogler for Best

153
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 5: Director for sure, of course.

154
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

155
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: You know we were talking about the all of the

156
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: films up for nomination this year. They seem to be

157
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: more approachable films, more MASSI appeal type films than usual.

158
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: Do you have a thought on that?

159
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, I think there is starting to

160
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: be a merit to like these more approachable films.

161
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: Something like A F one F one be nominated.

162
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: For Best Picture is huge to me. But I think

163
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: it's also kind of like a byproduct of the failed

164
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: of popular movie Oscar that they tried to do a

165
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: couple of years ago and then it got scrapped because

166
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: everybody hated it. But I think like the Oscars really

167
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: want people to feel like their event is huge because

168
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: obviously we know that in Hollywood, it is the biggest

169
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 5: night in Hollywood, but the viewership has been going down

170
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 5: year after year after year, and so I think to

171
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: get more people into watching it, they are going to

172
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: start like looking at other films, and they're also requiring

173
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: Academy members to look at other films in order to

174
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: put it in the Best Picture race and to put

175
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 5: them in these OSCAR categories. So you can get excited

176
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 5: for something like a Sinner, so you can't get excited

177
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: for something.

178
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: Like an F one as well as those prestige films.

179
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: So that way it works hand in hand where you

180
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: get people who normally wouldn't watch those procese films to

181
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 5: watch it because they're being nominated alongside a.

182
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: F One or Sinners and things like that.

183
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: That's just kind of like where I think everything is

184
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: set it right now. Also, they're going to YouTube now

185
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: as well, so you know they're really.

186
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: Big and long term.

187
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: What is the message you think they're trying to send?

188
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: Is that it or is it something else? You said

189
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the Oscars are trying to send a message this year?

190
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I think the Oscars, like for many years,

191
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: I feel like the award circuit has been trying to

192
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: make a big push for diversity, and I know listeners

193
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 5: who are probably listening to that and is like, oh,

194
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 5: so it's a big diversity play. No, I don't think that,

195
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: but I do think requiring Academy members to watch all

196
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: different types of films, where like quite a few years

197
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: ago where get Out was nominated and a lot of

198
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 5: Academy members came out anonymously, it's that they didn't even

199
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: try to watch the movie, right, even though it's one.

200
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: Of those films that definitely deserved it.

201
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: So I think there's mandates that are being put in

202
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 5: place all throughout these Academy like rooms to say, hey,

203
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 5: here's some films that are being nominated, all of who

204
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: are being praised all throughout the year. You should probably

205
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: check these films out and put that into your consideration.

206
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: And so I feel like the Academy wants to be

207
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: seen is like someone who champions all movies, not just

208
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 5: what the cinephiles would say. Because how many times have

209
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 5: you heard, like the nominations come out and somebody says,

210
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 5: I've never.

211
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: Heard of that song I.

212
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: Every year, you know.

213
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: So I think this is the message out they're trying

214
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: to send that the Oscars should be a ceremony where

215
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: we champion movies. That means all movies, that that means.

216
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: The casual viewers.

217
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 5: That means the cinophiles, the cinema goers to stay at Homer's.

218
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: It has to be. It has to be this way

219
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: or else. Who knows.

220
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: Further down the line.

221
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: If they don't send this message or if they don't

222
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: kind of like champion this diversity, the Oscars might not

223
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 5: be something that people watch at all.

224
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,000
