Now I'm not 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: that guy who's seen everything everywhere of every genre. I'm 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: saying I know a little something about movies and the 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: stuff that I do enjoy, I really enjoy. I'm never 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: going to be that guy who talks about the aust 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've seen this, I've seen that, I've seen that, 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: and I've seen that. No, most of the stuff I 20 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen because I like to be very judicious with 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: my time as far as what I do see and 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: and I love talking to people who don't know anything 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: about movies or TV, like Mark Ronner, True story, go ahead, 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: you know what's coming, right, you know what's coming some 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: avatar truther business said no, well that's for later in 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: the avatar truther I like that. No, but this is 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: actually TV. You came up to me before the show today. 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: Oh right, okay, and you said hey, and I'm paraphrasing, 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: you can correct me paraphrasing. Mo twala, you gotta go 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: back and watch Kung Fu. And I said, the David 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: Karraten one, because they have a remake this out now. 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: And I said, David Karraten and Mark take it away. 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: What did you say? Well, first of all, I want 34 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: you to know that I am one immune to your 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: mockery about this. That's good to know. But there's a 36 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: free there's a free streaming app called plex p l 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 1: e X, and I discovered that they have for free 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: all three seasons of the early seventies TV series Kung 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Fu with David Kardeen. And I decided I was just 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: going to watch them chronologically straight through, and I've consumed 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: twenty of them in a row now and I love it. 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: I love it. Not only does it hold up well, 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: but it's actually gotten me kind of emotional more than once. Wait, 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: you actually said that Kung Fu is holding up well. 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: It's wonderfully made. Some of the same people from the 46 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: original Star Trek were involved in making it. It looks terrific, 47 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: the photography is terrific. There's even a lot of the 48 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: same actors. It's a great, great show. Karadeen is great 49 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: in it. And I just cannot fathom the bitterness and 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: hollowness of you in Tawala for even attempting to mock 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: me over loving this show when it could change your life. 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: The show mocks itself. Kung Fu is an American action 53 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: adventure martial arts western drama series starring David Kardeen. The 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: series follows the adventures of Kawai Chang Kwai Chang Kane, 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: a shalloon monk who travels through the American Old West, 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: armed only with his spiritual training and his skill in 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the martial arts as he seeks Danny Kane, his half brother, 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: were right, right, It's great. It's like it's kind of 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: like the fugitive or maybe touched by an angel, but 60 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: with some occasional ass kicking. It's fantastic, It's wonderful. Anybody listening, 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: you watch this show. It'll make you happy. It will, 62 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: it will. It's like an hour's respiant from all the 63 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: terrible stuff going on right now. You're gonna love it. Look, Mark, 64 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't want you, sir, for liking this. I love you, brother. 65 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: I just know that when it comes to Kung Fu, 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: my memory, if serves me correct, this was not a 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: good show. I remember years. How could you remember it? Look, 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about watching it because this show reran forever. 69 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: In the late seventies, early eight syndication, this show was on, 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: and I remember when we first were introduced to Kung Fu. 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: The very first thing out of anyone's mouth was, you 72 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: know this was supposed to be Bruce Lee show. Right? 73 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: That is a myth again, I'm just saying that that's 74 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: how it was laid out. It's I gotta jump in there. 75 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: It may not been factual that it was specifically for 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Bruce Lee, but it was a direct result of Bruce 77 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Lee because they were trying to capture the martial arts 78 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: phenomenon of the early nineteen seventies by way of Bruce Lee. 79 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: And they also knew that it would have been much 80 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: more marketable if a non Asian actor played the lead role. 81 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: I love Bruce Lee as much as anyone. I mean 82 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: whose life I mean, Moe, You and I have both 83 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: been in martial arts since our teens. Whose life wasn't 84 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: changed by Andrew the Dragon? Yes, but I think when 85 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: you're talking about some show being stolen from Bruce Lee, 86 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: it's probably that Circle of Iron movie that David Carradine 87 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: was also in. No, No, No, not so much that 88 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: it was. It was, as Moe alluded to, that the 89 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: idea of bringing martial arts to television for all to 90 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: see came from saying, Hey, what this guy Bruce Lee 91 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: is doing is fantastic. The Hornet inclusive of the Green 92 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Hornet reasons why they kept a mask on him in 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: Green Hornet, reasons why he was not ever cast on 94 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: an American television show. Really after that, why he left 95 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: and said, wait, what you guys are doing kung fu, 96 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: but you're not going to put an actual martial arts 97 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: star in me on the show. Well, here's the thing 98 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: that nobody wants to hear, especially fans of Bruce Lee. 99 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: And I count myself among those. I've been to his 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: grave in Seattle, the whole nine yards. Bruce Lee wasn't 101 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: a great actor, Okay, David Carradine was a better actor, 102 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: and absolutely that was not David. The martial arts and 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: kung fu look slow and awkward by today's standards because 104 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: of all the stuff we've been exposed. No, no no, no, no, 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: it's bad period. Now I will defer to Walla who 106 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: actually took Wooshoe. Okay, so I did not know this. 107 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: Excuse me, Chong, So I just say it this. I 108 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: have a problem with the show, the whole premise, just 109 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: like um last MRI with Tom not even in the 110 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: same universe. How dare you, sir? How dare you? It's 111 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: in the same universe. It's the same continent, the whole 112 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: premise of this guy who and I call it the 113 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Tarzan premise. It's like he okay, he's over there, I 114 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: don't know for how long, and he's like mastered these 115 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: arts and those arts were closed to the West at 116 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: that time, closed they did not And as that quick 117 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: Chancine's half Chinese. What are you even talking about? Mo? Yeah, 118 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: David Kerretty, I'm talking about David Carrett's character. It's fiction. 119 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: You understand this thing called fiction that we sometimes consume. 120 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: I do, I do, but it's a load of bs, 121 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: which keeps me from enjoying the show because the martial 122 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: arts is bad, the acting is bad, the premise is laughable, 123 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: but it's not funny. I think sometime in a shell 124 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: in monastery would do you a world of good. I'll 125 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: meet you in the hallway, I know when you work. 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: You guys want to hear my first introduction to David carradean, Please, 127 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: are you talking about the death report exactly? How do oh? Okay, 128 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: I have some trivia after you say that, go ahead, 129 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: go ahead? He said it. No, that was it? Oh 130 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, just how he died was how I 131 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: found out about him. Well years ago, I was interviewing 132 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: Carradine in a hotel suite for Kill Bill, I think 133 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: volume two, Hey now, And he was great. He was 134 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: a good interview a smart guy, surprisingly strong as well. 135 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: And I and I just I always try to do 136 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: oddball things in an interview. So I say, show me 137 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: this five finger touch of death from the movie, and 138 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: he says, oh, you don't want me to do that? 139 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, sure, I do. I don't want 140 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: you to kill me or anything. But and then there's 141 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: this silence on the tape recorder and all you can 142 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: hear is me going oh, because he abruptly in the 143 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: middle of this interview grabs my windpipe with his thumb 144 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: really hard, and I can see my eyes are bulging 145 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: out of my head. I can see across the hotel 146 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: suite his two publicists are just in stark horror at 147 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, do you think he enjoyed it? Well, 148 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: I think it's probably the same hand that they found 149 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: him with later on in the hotel room that Eric 150 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: just mentioned. K I I a six forty. We're live everywhelier. 151 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app Johnny Kins Show. Oh boy. Last segment, I 152 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: was talking about how I love movies so much when 153 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: we sort of digressed and got distracted by Mark Ronner, 154 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: who was determined to talk about Kung Fu and David Charty. 155 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how he got there. I really dragged 156 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: into that. Yes you did, and I don't appreciate it. 157 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to the movies this segment. Here 158 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: are some movies that I know that I am excited 159 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: to see in twenty twenty three, and I think you 160 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: listening right now will be excited as well. I don't 161 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: care what anyone has to say. A cult classic is 162 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: on the horizon and it will be here February twenty fourth. 163 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Cocaine Bear. Yes, if you see one 164 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: movie in twenty twenty three, see Cocaine Bear. And it's 165 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: about and it's based on two events. Loosely based on 166 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: two events where a bear happens upon some cocaine which 167 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: fell out of a drug smugglers airplane and ingests it. 168 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: In real life, the bear dies. In this real movie, 169 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the bear goes on a killing spree. And it is 170 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: very profane, exceptionally violent, and potentially potentially very hilarious. I 171 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: mean there are site gags, there's writing gags, dialogue gags. 172 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: It's just my type of humor. It's like The Hangover 173 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: meets I don't know, Halloween. I have a feeling this 174 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: movie might be like a super Troopers type movie. Yes 175 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: and no, except that super Troopers, I don't think was 176 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: this over the top violence, right? Yes, aside from the violence, 177 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: but that type of feel to the movie. Oh, I 178 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: think so, I think so. I think it's an instant 179 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: cult classic. If it is half as good as the trailer, 180 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: which we can't even play for you because it's so vulgar. 181 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: I like vulgarity. I like violence, and you have violence 182 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: and vulgarity based around a somewhat true story and a 183 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: bear is going to town on. People love it, and 184 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: you have some credible actors in it as well. The 185 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: other thing to love about it is the directness of 186 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: the title. Just kind of like hobo with a shotgun. Yeah, 187 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: you know what you're getting when about you know, there's 188 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: not like they're leaving anything to chance. It's like Cocaine Bear. 189 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: That's it. That's all you need to know, and you 190 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: kind of get the plot. Bear on Cocaine kills everybody, 191 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: and you're rooting for the bear. You're going in rooting 192 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: for the bear, not the people. That makes it a 193 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: great idea, And I wonder who is the genius and 194 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean this sincerely, who was the genius who decided 195 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: to walk into some studio executive's office and said, Hey, 196 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: I got the greatest idea for a movie. It's not 197 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: going to be big budget, but it's high concept. It's 198 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: real simple, Cocaine Bear. We could make it for ten million, 199 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: it'll probably make a hundred million. You know who I 200 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: just saw was in it and we kind of talked 201 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: about him earlier this week, Oh, Jackson Junior. Yeah, Yeah, 202 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. They're incredible actors in it. I 203 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: mean a bunch. I can't listen them all to the 204 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: top of my head, but I can look it up. 205 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: I just remember that they're real actors. One of Radiota's 206 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: last yeah yep, which is weird because it's cocaine bear um. 207 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: Outside of everything Marvel that's coming, I'm super looking forward 208 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: to John Wood Chapter four. I am too. Yeah, I 209 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: am too. And it's one of those movies. Like I said, 210 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: I like violence, and there will be vulgarity. It won't 211 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: be funny slapstick, but there will be some funny moments 212 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: in it, I'm sure. And I just like the John Wick. 213 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: I can't call it a series, but the franchise franchise. Yeah, 214 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: I like it because Keanu Reeves doesn't try to do 215 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: too much, he doesn't try to say too much, he 216 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: doesn't try to have these great one liners. The martial 217 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: arts said he does is not over the top. It's 218 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: not like, okay, we can see the stunt man. No, 219 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: he's doing his work. And it's just it's usually when 220 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: you see in these franchises they get weaker the more 221 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: movies they go along. No, this has actually gotten stronger. Yeah. Yeah, 222 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: the last one there were things done in an action 223 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: sense that I had never seen before, and that's what 224 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: made it win. Well, each one gets more and more personal. 225 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: You know. It starts off with his dog, but it 226 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: gets more and more personal the people who keep eff 227 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: and over him. And now he's got to take out 228 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: the table I guess as they call it. And he's 229 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: teeping up with Morpheus and they're gonna wreck shop together. 230 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: I just I think it sets up for a fantastic finale. 231 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: We'll say you, Mark Ronner. Those movies are so much 232 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: fun and so hilariously over the top violent. I took 233 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: my girlfriend to john Wick three and I loved it 234 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: in direct proportion to the degree to which she was 235 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: horrified by it. The more horrified she was, the more 236 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: you loved it. It just enhanced it. Yeah, it's tons 237 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: of fun, and it's a great great vehicle for Keanu Reeves, 238 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: who he's been Another stuff like do you want to 239 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: see him in Shakespeare? No, I want to see him 240 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: in this. Yeah, and it rejuvenated his career. I don't 241 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: think that there is It was a bad movie, but 242 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: the Matrix resurrections that doesn't get made without the John 243 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: Wick franchise. For all of this resurgence in his career 244 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: and now he's a newfound superstar all over again. You 245 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: can tray said directly back to john Wick. He's so 246 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: lucky to have found this vehicle for him, because a 247 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: lot of the actors that you and I love as 248 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: action movie fanatics, like Steve McQueen found great vehicles for himself. 249 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what a great actor he was, and 250 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: I love the guy. But if you watch say the 251 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: Thomas Crown Affair, but if you watch Bullet, yes, perfect vehicle. 252 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: And that's what John Wick was for. Keanu Reeves. I 253 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: wasn't so sure about the first extraction. I was. I 254 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: didn't like it. I I like the action that that 255 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: that one NonStop, one cut scene one of the best 256 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: action sequence has ever filmed as far as hand to 257 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: hand combat and action to that level. They're saying that 258 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: this film extraction too, with Chris Hemsworth, they're taking the 259 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: one cut to a whole new level where almost half 260 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: of the film is a one cut action sequence. If 261 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: they could pull it off, that's great. Here's my problem 262 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: with Extraction, and I think it's true of other stuff 263 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: that Chris Hemsworth does. I think he's a fine actor, 264 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: but this goes back to what Mark Ronner was saying. 265 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: It has to be the right vehicle. He's a funny guy, 266 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: and when he's allowed to show off that aspect or 267 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: that portion of his personality and acting skills, I think 268 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: it works. But when they try to make him too 269 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: serious like an Extraction, and he did a movie like 270 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Black Hat where he was a hacker, and it doesn't 271 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: work for me. For me, I'm not trying to diss 272 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: him as an actor. When he was in Ghostbusters, he 273 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: was phenomenal, phenomenal. I'm not looking forward to Extraction two 274 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: because the first one was great action. The story just didn't. 275 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: It just seems so like I've seen that story a 276 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: thousand times before, and I like the action. I just 277 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: didn't like it enough to even finish the movie. And 278 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: if I didn't finish the movie, then I probably won't 279 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: come back for the sequel. But that's just me. Are 280 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: you guys? Looking forward to Oppenheimer. Yes, and I said 281 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: it before because when I was a kid, I wrote 282 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: a report on him. You had to write a report 283 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: on a famous historical figure, and I did mine on 284 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Robert Oppenheiber. I think it's maybe fourth grade or so. 285 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: So I've always had this fascination with him in that 286 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: period in the history of the creation of the Adam 287 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: bomb and how it changed the course of history. I'm 288 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: looking forward to if only because Christopher Nolan is one 289 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: of those few directors. If he makes it, I'm going 290 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to watch it. I may not love it. I didn't 291 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: love Tenant. I loved um. What was the first one? 292 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: No? No No, no, no, no, no no no. Um Shoot, 293 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting oh oh no U with the um with DiCaprio. Yes, yes, Inception, Inception. 294 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: I loved Inception and I forgot. Someone had had to 295 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: remind me that he did Memento. So Christopher Nolan I 296 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: love as a director because he sees a story in 297 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: a way very different from most directors. So I trust 298 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: him as a director. That said, it doesn't mean it's 299 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: going to be a great movie, but I trust him. 300 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: And since from what I read, they created a conventional 301 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: explosion on par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki to demonstrate the 302 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: blast power of the original Adam bombs. So Nolan, he's 303 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: a very smart what I call Michael Bay. It's not 304 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: big for the stop for just a purpose of being big. 305 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: He's a much better storyteller. Sorry Michael, but you know 306 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. No one agree. He's 307 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: got the hugest khonees of any director working right now, 308 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: and so even his openings of his movies are just 309 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: designed to pull you in and let you know that 310 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: you're in good hands. And this guy has more nerve 311 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: than any director alive. Yeah, an Interstellar. I love the concept, 312 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: didn't quite love the execution. The things I could quibble, 313 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: But if Christopher Nolan does it, I'm going to be 314 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: right there to see it. This is Johnny kenshow kay 315 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: if I am six forty, We're live everywhere on the 316 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Mark. I thought of you when I saw 317 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: the news that the stan Lee documentary is coming to 318 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: Disney Plus in twenty twenty three. I thought of you 319 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: because I wondered, did you ever have a chance to 320 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: interview him? I did, And you're not gonna believe this, 321 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: but I actually and I'm serious when I say this. 322 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: I told him I thought he deserved a Nobel Prize 323 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: because when you take into account the Reachi's had and 324 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 1: the lines he's affected with his work. Yeah, why not. 325 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: This week would have been stan Lee's one hundredth birthday, 326 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: and to celebrate, Disney Plus has announced that an original 327 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: documentary on him will arrive sometime in twenty twenty three. 328 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: I never had a chance to meet him. The closest 329 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: I got to meeting him it was a screening of 330 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: Doctor Strange and it was in Hollywood, and it was 331 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: not announced to any one, but we were watching the movie. 332 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: Right before the movie started, they introduced stan Lee and 333 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: then they had all the kids in the auditor in 334 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: the movie theater come up and get on stage and 335 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: meet him and take a picture with him. But yeah, 336 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: it was a great moment. But I never had a 337 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: chance to meet him. Always wanted that opportunity. Tall did 338 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: you ever meet him? No? No, I think that right 339 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: there was the closest we had come to meeting him. 340 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: I know, we were trying to give him on the 341 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: air yep, shortly before he passed, and then just the 342 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: timing didn't work because we weren't on the day on 343 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: the air the day he was available, So you know, 344 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: we'll see all that changes, but that was that was 345 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: my chance. I know Stanley. I'm not as big of 346 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: a Marvel guy as you guys are, but I know 347 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: he always had a thing of putting himself in like 348 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: a cameo and all of his movies, has every one 349 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: of them has he still done or has Marvel still 350 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: done that since his passing? They did a few after 351 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: his passing. Okay, things that he already filmed. They already 352 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: felt they're not doing the thing where they where they 353 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: have it asserting him. They're not Star Wars and it's 354 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: not like fredis star dancing with the vacuum cleaner. It's 355 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: it's still him. Yeah, they're not going to let's say 356 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: they have ant Man and Quantumnia coming out in early 357 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, there's not going to be a Stanley 358 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: cameo where they're going to digitally insert him. Got it. 359 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: That decision was made before his passing that they were 360 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: not going to do that, and I appreciate that because 361 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: I think it would have just cheapened the value of them. 362 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: I have a lot of comic industry friends who have 363 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: worked with Stanley. I mean, apart from the usual things 364 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: you hear about him, maybe hogging credit for things he 365 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: co created, like Spider Man with Steve did Go, I've 366 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: never heard anybody say that he's a bastard or anything. 367 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: Everybody likes him. Yeah, and that's rare in this business. Yeah, rare, rare. 368 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: And I think the thing that I most appreciated this 369 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: is really inside baseball when Marvel did their take on 370 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: DC characters, and Marvel did Batman and Superman and so forth, 371 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: and I actually love what Marvel came up with more 372 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: than what DC came up with Marvel characters. You read those, yes, yes, 373 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: I have not read those. Oh, but the artwork is fantastic. 374 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: But the Batman of those is like an actual Batman. Yeah. 375 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: I actually like their take on Superman more than anything. 376 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: It's like man, I actually like that Superman better than 377 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: what DC had offered up until that point. I could 378 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: dig that, I could do that. I mean, look, the 379 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: man was a genius. I mean he changed my life 380 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: for sure. You know, my introduction two comic books actually 381 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: came by way of Spider Man and his Amazing Friends, 382 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: the animated series. Like I was familiar with comics and 383 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, saw him around so almost seven to eleven. 384 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: Oh hey, yeah, that looks cool. I picked it up, 385 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: but no, no affinity to him. And while watching Spider Man, 386 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: his amazing friend Stanley was the narrator and the way 387 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: he used to end every you know, episode was exhausior 388 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, if something about this guy. And 389 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: then when I saw his name on a comic book 390 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: it was it made me pick it up and read 391 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: it and I was like, wow, this is such an 392 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: amazing story, and I followed along with the Adventures of 393 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: the X and from there, you know, thirty plus years 394 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: of a comic book storage facility slash garage later. Look, 395 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: this man deserves every flower laid upon him. And I 396 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: cannot wait to see these documentaries from twenty twenty three. Yeah. Yeah, 397 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: And rarely can you point to a person who directly 398 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: and indirectly, and here's the larger point, rarely can you 399 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: point to a person who may have single handedly, dare 400 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: I say, changed television and movies from a content perspective 401 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: and also a distribution perspective, because without a Stanley, there 402 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: is no Disney. Plus let's be honest. Now, Okay, Disney 403 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: has a sizable catalog, but creating that fan base, that 404 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: user base, that active fan base. I give a lot 405 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: of credits to Stanley. He obviously changed publishing. There's not 406 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people who you can say have did 407 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: all that in a short amount of time. And there 408 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: were a lot of lean years for Marvel. You know, 409 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy until they had 410 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: to sell off pieces like arms and appendages and what 411 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: have you. And that's where the other movie studios came 412 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: in and swoop up the rights to certain characters. Why 413 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: you haven't seen an actual standalone Hulk movie in forever. 414 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: You know. The thing about stan Lee that you should 415 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: keep in mind is that he was a magnificent, fun 416 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: figurehead for Marvel, and DC never had somebody like that, 417 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, they have Carmine Infantino running the 418 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: place that people in the comics industry know, but no 419 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: civilian knows what that name is. Everybody knew stan Lee 420 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: because he kind of tapped into this sort of kids 421 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: show huckster vibe, and he knew how to work it. Well. 422 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: You know, there won't be someone else like him, but 423 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: hopefully someone can learn from him. And the whole idea 424 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: of everything under one roof all these properties. If DC 425 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: ever gets their act together and figures out some of 426 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: that magic that stan Lee had created, because you know, 427 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: even before the MCU, Marvel was still doing the better 428 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: movies because you can, you have to put it in there, 429 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: even though they weren't great. Like the X Men movies 430 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: weren't great, but they they aren't great. They weren't great. 431 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: Come on, now, Okay, I liked him as an X 432 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: Men fan, but the movies weren't great. That first X 433 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: Men movie changed all superhero movies, but this did. We're 434 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: getting into the weeds. It did, but it still wasn't great, 435 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: but they had Blade and generally I agree with what 436 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: you're saying that that's that's that's the point. I'm mate. 437 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: You just got there before I did. Yes, it changed everything, 438 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: and everyone kind of has been trying to catch up 439 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: since that time. This to JOHNA.

Has happened to I'm saying it. 488 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's happened more frequently than people would like 489 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: to acknowledge. Wait a minute, what's that? That's it's almost time? Hey? 490 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: Is that like the oscars where you hit the music 491 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: that means get off the stage? I think it is? Yeah, Hey, 492 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: oh is that you? He No, I think that was you, 493 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: Chris the World. That's me show? Oh, okay, your computer 494 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: Maybe I guess I had an ad plan in the 495 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: background makes some noise. Yeah, all right, I thought we 496 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: were being ushered off, all right? My fault, well, almost 497 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: bullet tube in the boy. The reason why I asked 498 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: whether you're a movie guy, I just wondered, are you 499 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: more eager and interested to see John Wick four or 500 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: Cocaine Bear? John Wick four? Are you familiar with Cocaine Bear? No, 501 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: so I can't. I don't have a whole lot of 502 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: interest at all. See I'm not that big a movie guy, 503 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: but I'm a big enough movie guy that just watched 504 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: the trailer. Just what okay, cocaine Oh, yes, I have seen. 505 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: This is the one where the bear finds the cocaine 506 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: in the woods. Yes, Is that the one that's why 507 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: I titled Cocaine Bear. Oh? Yes, okay, I am actually 508 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: excited to see that now that you mentioned it. Yes, 509 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: I do want to see that, but I guess probably 510 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: John Wick. I'm more excited to see that one. I 511 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: love the escapism of John Wick. It's just a it's 512 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: just old fashioned nonsensical violence. Okay, let me throw a 513 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: couple other things at you. Are you a purist in 514 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: the sense that some movie should not be remade? Yes, 515 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: I am, Yeah, there are some classics that need to 516 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: remain that way. Rarely does a remake do justice to 517 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: the original, And I know so many times they do 518 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: it as almost an homage to the original, but not 519 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: very often. You know, there's there's probably a few King Kong. 520 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: I suppose is one that what was it the seventy 521 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: seven remake was better than the nineteen twenty seven brig Yes, yeah, 522 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: uh they done away one of them. Uh well, fay, 523 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: I think it was the original? Yeah yeah, um, um, 524 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: let me see they're going to do a remake of 525 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: the movie Bullet. Steve McQueen. Oh see, I feel like 526 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: you gotta leave all the Steve McQueen's stuff alone, Like 527 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: that's uh, that's sacred cows. You can't you can't take 528 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: those on. Now. Some people say, if the person is dead, 529 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: with all due respect, it means it's okay. It all 530 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: depends on the script. I guess it all depends on 531 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: how that's gonna be pulled off. And again, so often 532 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: it just doesn't get pulled off very well. Okay, Roadhouse, 533 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: there's a remake in No but Patrick Swayze's gone. I'm 534 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: with you. I say, don't remake classics or cult classics 535 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: ever under any circumstances. But I understand the commercial appeal. 536 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I know why they do it, because we 537 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: have to see it just so we can complain about it. 538 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: But that's still going to cost us fifteen bucks to 539 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: go to the theater and see it. But here's the 540 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: problem with it. They're trying to cash in on our 541 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: nostalgia because a movie like Roadhouse or Bullet is only 542 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: going to appeal to people of a certain age, and 543 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: they'll get us in the theater but since it probably 544 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: won't connect to the original movie in any way. Like 545 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: if you did a Bullet remake and it was Detective 546 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Bullets grandson or something, I'm in I want to see 547 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: how that that story continues. Okay, but that's not really 548 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: a remake at that point. Like they did that with Shafts. 549 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: They did a shaft they had subsequent generations working as 550 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: because they had Samuel Jackson, they had someone else who 551 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: was playing like the grandson or something like that. Right, 552 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. It was a bad movie, but 553 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Leave the original alone. What about 554 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: the remakes where they bring the start of the original 555 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: back for a cameo? They No, they did that. They 556 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: did do that. Yeah, he did a cameo as the grandfather. 557 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: You know whatever. But you know, I don't mind that. 558 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: I really don't. I would rather they not make the 559 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 1: movie at all. But that's just me. What's coming up 560 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: on your show? Oh well, we've got more airport messes 561 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: and we'll we'll all get together in chant Rain Rain 562 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: Go Away, Come again another day. So we'll have fifteen 563 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: minutes of us just chanting that over and over and 564 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 1: over again. And Pope, watch twenty twenty two continues for 565 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: another night. So I feel almost like a replay of 566 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: when the Queen fell ill, remember and we were all 567 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: watching the Queen like you're she gonna make it another day? 568 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: Kind of feels that way with the Pope Emeritus. Is 569 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: that wrong? You're going straight tow You're going straight down, 570 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: see the Queen. This is Look, you're talking about the Pope, 571 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: even though it's the Pope Emeritus. You're talking about the 572 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: person who's like closest person that guy. Yeah, he's a quitter, right, 573 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: So you say that makes it different? Yeah, I mean 574 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,239 Speaker 1: he gave up, so he addicate, I don't think I'm 575 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: going straight to hell. If I do, maybe it's just 576 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: the first or second circle. That's it. If that makes 577 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: you feel better, Tim Conway, we'll teach you how to 578 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: fight at Disney. So that's coming up to Big show. 579 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: Tim Conway Junior Show with Chris Merrill coming up next. 580 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty.
