1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Why do sequels suck so much?

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: It's one more thing I'm strong, one more thing. You

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: know more about spring riding than I do. Maybe you

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: have an answer for why sequel suck. But uh, that

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: conversation just second. First, as we continue to wrap up

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: the Olympics.

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh and on the final day of the game, Serbia

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 3: be Croatia to win gold and men's water polo. But

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: I noticed that the goalie for Croatia had a pretty

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: interesting last name. Check this out well, marking old Pah

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: now in golf for Croatia and that's him right there.

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: Bach. The goalkeeper Bax shuttles things down off the post

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: behind Pia.

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: Great Josh Bis get back in there, Bach. No more goals, b.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: Just I mean the NBC censor was like, what do

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: I do?

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: What?

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do?

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: I have imagine winning.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: At the Olympics, then hearing here's your metal, Bach, thank you.

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: His name is Marco Biac. Forget his last name. It's

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: crazy that his name is Marco and he plays polo.

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: What's going on?

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 4: Michael in Serbia defeating Croatia is a little uncomfortable too.

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: Fans of warfare in the nineties, I feel like.

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: They could have changed the pronunciation just to tad to

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: avoid that whole problem. That's boch.

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: The name's Biac, it's Biach. Biach's say the guy's name Biach.

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: That got me. Some of the announcers were clearly enjoying

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: it too much.

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: Right, nice at the shop.

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: That's some pretty childish humor right there. Oh, serious thing

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: before I get to my way.

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: Well, they're they're they're Europeans, so you can make that joke. Now,

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: if you make a joke about like an Asian name

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 4: like Wang, then you're eurracist and might lose your career, absolutely,

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: you know, crowder.

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: But if it sounds like something funny and it's European

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: or Western civilization, right then yeah, full on.

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 4: Well, and certainly there are words in English that are

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: obscenities and references to poop and or genitals in other

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: people's language, and they have fun with that. And I

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: think that is funny that our word for that is

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: your word for that.

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: That's great.

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: And I don't for a single second think think I'm

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: a victim of anything.

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Of course, most claim.

49
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: A victimhood is a quest for power. It's cry bullying.

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: It's become very effective in the modern world.

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: I once knew someone with the unfortunate name of Harry Johnson.

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. See was he a radio person?

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 5: No not, it's an average guy.

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you go by Harold or your middle name?

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 5: I always wondered why why not Harold?

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: But nope, was Harry Johnson? Was he like? Did he know?

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, was he doing that because he kind of knew, Hey,

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: my name is Harry Johnson. No wicky.

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 5: He'd get pissed when people would say his whole name.

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: So I don't I you know, I'm not really sure

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 5: what the whole logic was behind it. I just know

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 5: that it was funny.

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: How did that affect his life? I mean, the fact

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: that he would get pissed means it kind of it

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: having stuck in his craw if you will, having h

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: or being named that.

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: We don't know that different.

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: Oh, it's God's sake.

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: Doing great now, so seeming it wasn't too harsh on him.

70
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: But I just remember when we were.

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: Kids, toughened him up. The boy named Sue syndrome something

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: I don't.

73
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: Know, dirty eggsucking dog that named me Harry Johnson. That's

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: exactly right.

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: All right.

76
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: Bianca's is there something else we were going to talk about.

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: I want to mention this. This is serious.

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: We don't usually do that much serious here, but I

79
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: just saw it on the San Francisco Chronicle. Latest car

80
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: theft data is out. This is from Oakland, one of

81
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: the crimiest places in America. Data shows one vehicle per

82
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: thirty people was stolen in twenty twenty three.

83
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: Wow.

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: What doesn't shock me? What if I have like a

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: medium sized circle of friends, I know a couple of

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: people who've had their car stolen last year. I mean,

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: that seems crazy if I'm living in Oakland.

88
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: I moved to Porto Prince because it's safer, it's less crime.

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 4: Moved to Haiti.

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: That's stunning. Anyway. I started with the Whitey sequel, suck

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: so much, and I was my son's making his way

92
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: through all the Marvel movies as he ends summer with

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: a bang. School starts in a week, and he had

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: the First Captain of America on the other night. I

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen have you seen that, Katie?

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: See?

97
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't have seen any

98
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of these movies. Most of them

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: are made before my kids were born or when they

100
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: were a little little Have you seen it, Michael, No,

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: not at all. Most grown ups. If you don't have kids,

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna watch this stuff.

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: Judy and I watched it more or less in a lark.

104
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: It seemed like some good escapist entertainment years ago. When

105
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 4: it first came out, I thought it was terrific, really enjoyable.

106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: First Captain Marvel movie is absolutely fantastic. It's like a

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Captain in America. Captain America. I'm sorry, Captain Marvel's horrible.

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: That is a horrible movie. That's what the chick?

109
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: Oh, really bad Captain Marvel or something Marvel. It's something

110
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: miss Marvel or an adult. Can we talk about fiscal.

111
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: Any Oh please, I'm glad you said that. That's why

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I they will make they will not watch a superhero

113
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: movie if the chick is the starn But just in

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: just on sequels in general. And I've seen this with

115
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: lots of kid movies, grown up movies, that sort of stuff.

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Why do they take the first movie of everything is

117
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: like a good kind of rich, good human story and

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: then they make it like unbelievably fan like it's got

119
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: to be so let me give an example, like the

120
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: first story you got, man meets woman, falls in love,

121
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: they have a kid, whatever, good movie. If they make

122
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: a sequel to that, they're gonna have to decide to

123
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: be a race car team and go up against the

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: French in the like I mean, why is it always

125
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: like that?

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: Well, well, part of the problem is as you sit

127
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: down to write a like a screenplay, you're gonna come

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: up with a character or a few characters or whatever

129
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna have them go through something changes people in

130
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: an interesting way that keeps people's attention, and come to

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: a satisfying conclusion.

132
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: Having done that.

133
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: When you're gonna do a sequel, you say, okay, now

134
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: I got to come up with another arc of that

135
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: sort from where they are right now and strike gold again.

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: Because there are fifty thousand scripts written for everyone that's

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: produced and five thousand produced movies for everyone that's worth

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: a crap.

139
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Because so the Marvel movies got worse and worse and

140
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: worse until they were just laughable, and I couldn't understand

141
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't. And they do this with all different

142
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of movies. When I'm not specifically talking about the

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: Marvel movies, but so like if you had a couple

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: of guy buddy cop movie. They start as like they

145
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of don't like each other, and then they become

146
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: friendly and then they solve a crime and you know,

147
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: he saves his wife. Whatever. Good movie. Then the next one.

148
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: You liked him in the last movie, but this time

149
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: they're doing it in space, And it's always something like that.

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why.

151
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: Like trying to reach a different audience, maybe the same.

152
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

153
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: It weren't the last I would think you'd do more formula,

154
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: like basically do the first movie again, like Cars another

155
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: kids movie, but number two just sucked out loud.

156
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: Well, that's why the Toy Story franchise is so beloved.

157
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 4: Each one of those movies was the first three were fantastic.

158
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: A good example of them not doing that. Yeah, that's

159
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: a good example of them not doing that.

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had the framework of as the toys lives changed,

161
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: as Andy got older too. But that helped Godfather movies obviously.

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: But that helped that. It was a large cast of

163
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 4: characters and they were going through generations. But like Buddy

164
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: Coop movies, repeating the formula over and over again, that's

165
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: what was the Mel Gibson back before he was kicking

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: the Jews and Lethal Weapon. Yeah, those were, you know,

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: fairly similar. It was like it was practically a TV series,

168
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: but they'd come out once a year and they'd have

169
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: better production values. So that's what y'aught to do. Just

170
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 4: make it, make it formul like.

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I always hated that as a kid, when they would

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: bring back Gillian's Island or the cast of Andy something.

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: They'd bring back the cast of some SHOWY liked, and

174
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: then this time again it would be in space or

175
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: underwater or whatever. Night Jack didn't choose the Jaws three

176
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: in the movie theater. I think I did Jaws three D.

177
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: Did you really spend money on that?

178
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I believe I did. Yeah, I got what answer too.

179
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: Oh.

180
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: I refused to see it because I just knew it

181
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: was going to be crap. I kind of did that

182
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: with Dumb and Dumberer as well, because I love Dumb

183
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 5: and Dumber. The original movie made me laugh so hard

184
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: multiple times. And then I saw they were redoing it,

185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 5: and I'm like, nope, yeah, this.

186
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: Time they were on the original. This time they were

187
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: race car drivers, or this time he runs for president

188
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, Well, I guess that's it.
