Speaker 1: Get your hit us together and we're gonna start to party. Start.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to party the Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 3: You don't even turn it on or go see it
Speaker 3: if Juju Green doesn't tell us to do so or
Speaker 3: what to watch. Guy is here again as he is
Speaker 3: every Friday, Juju Green. Of course, our straw Goofy best friend.
Speaker 3: You can do a search for it Juju Green or
Speaker 3: straw Hat Goofy. He's everywhere, including our show.
Speaker 1: Juju Let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just said.
Speaker 3: That you were very very stoked for today's report. Why
Speaker 3: what is going on? What do you have up your sleeve?
Speaker 1: I am very very stoked.
Speaker 4: As a huge fan, I got three things for us
Speaker 4: to watch, but we gotta start with the theaters as
Speaker 4: I often do. But as a huge fan of the
Speaker 4: Predator franchise, as a huge fan of the director Dan Trachenberg,
Speaker 4: who's been killing it with the Predator franchise as of late,
Speaker 4: we have a new movie coming out this weekend featuring
Speaker 4: a Predator.
Speaker 1: It's called Predator.
Speaker 4: Batlands, and this is actually a first for the entire franchise.
Speaker 4: If you love Predator, you know it's mainly about an
Speaker 4: alien comes to Earth. Stalks a bunch of people, kills
Speaker 4: a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: But this is the.
Speaker 4: First Alien Predator movie where the Yauja aka the Predator
Speaker 4: is the main character. It's entirely from their perspective. It's
Speaker 4: an action flick about a predator named Deck on his
Speaker 4: first hunt, trying to prove himself because he's actually the
Speaker 4: little of the Predator clan.
Speaker 1: And so he really has to himself to his father.
Speaker 4: It's a predator with a debt with daddy issues which
Speaker 4: we've never seen.
Speaker 3: Wait, this is sounding like scary. He's a daddy with
Speaker 3: predator issues anyway, but go right ahead. So from the
Speaker 3: perspective of the Predator, this is a whole new way
Speaker 3: of doing this.
Speaker 4: This is a whole new way of doing the story.
Speaker 4: And for those for those who like have only been
Speaker 4: used to seeing the Predator in a certain way, you'll
Speaker 4: probably find it funny to know that the director Dan
Speaker 4: Tratcherberg talked to James Cameron himself of Titanic and Avatar fame,
Speaker 4: and James Cameron told him that it wouldn't work, and
Speaker 4: then after seeing the movie he said, well, shit, that
Speaker 4: actually worked. Sorry the radio, but after seeing the movie twice,
Speaker 4: I can let you know that it does definitely work.
Speaker 4: It's actually a surprisingly heartfelt story that I never thought
Speaker 4: I would say when it comes to a Predator film.
Speaker 1: So it's a lot to love about this movie.
Speaker 4: The action is top notch, the visuals are pretty amazing,
Speaker 4: and it actually is a story about found family and
Speaker 4: breaking away from the code of what you thought you was.
Speaker 4: A very brutal character actually has some heart to it.
Speaker 4: So I actually love Predator bad Lands. And this is
Speaker 4: Dani Tratcherberg's third Predator movie, and I just want him
Speaker 4: to keep making them till the end of time.
Speaker 3: Wow, so this is the first Predator. It sounds like
Speaker 3: that we're actually gonna like and have a connection with
Speaker 3: the runt of the Predator group. Really right, Okay, so
Speaker 3: Predator Badlands, Okay, what's.
Speaker 1: This next up? I actually just watched this movie last night.
Speaker 4: I got this as a screener from Netflix and it
Speaker 4: premieres on Netflix this Friday. It's called Train Dreams and
Speaker 4: it is a fantastic movie. It's a huge Oscar contender.
Speaker 4: I didn't know much about the movie going in, but
Speaker 4: essentially what the story is about, it's about this logger
Speaker 4: from I believe he's like in the nineteen twenties, and
Speaker 4: it's this logger who essentially is about his life. He's
Speaker 4: very isolated, he doesn't really have a lot of friends
Speaker 4: to speak of, and then everything changes when he meets
Speaker 4: a woman named Gladys, and so now his job which
Speaker 4: takes him off to far away places and he pretty
Speaker 4: much has to like walk back home for like long
Speaker 4: periods of time.
Speaker 1: He just wants to get back to his family. It's
Speaker 1: very heartfelt.
Speaker 4: It looks beautiful, like even when you're watching it at home,
Speaker 4: it just made me wish I could watch it in
Speaker 4: the theater because it just looks that gorgeous. It has
Speaker 4: character has Joe Edgerton as the main character. Joe Edgerton's
Speaker 4: the main character. You also have William H. Macy in
Speaker 4: a very sweet role as the old man of the
Speaker 4: longer crew and.
Speaker 1: I love you some William H.
Speaker 4: Macy as well as oh my god, I'm blinking on
Speaker 4: the actresses name right now, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: Felicity Jones is also playing Gladys in the movie. The
Speaker 4: movie is so heartfelt. I can't stress how beautiful it looks.
Speaker 4: And it's just a great meditation on life. On the
Speaker 4: passage of time because the movie takes place over the
Speaker 4: course of many decades, and how one life can be
Speaker 4: affected by many different people, and how we can affect
Speaker 4: other people's lives, and it's.
Speaker 1: All done like.
Speaker 4: Like the It's one of the best films that I've
Speaker 4: seen this year, and I cannot stress that enough. I
Speaker 4: think it might have cracked my.
Speaker 1: Top ten in fun to watch. So Train Dream.
Speaker 4: You can watch it at any time, but just know
Speaker 4: that when you do, you're probably gonna need some tissues
Speaker 4: because it does the heart strings quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I love that, all right? What else you have? All right?
Speaker 4: So this one is actually a series that just premiere.
Speaker 4: You can watch it right now. It's called I Love
Speaker 4: La and it's produced, written, and created by Rachel Sennett,
Speaker 4: who's very young, but she really knows how to put
Speaker 4: together a movie. She knows how to put together a series.
Speaker 4: And this is essentially a series for the people who
Speaker 4: are they got a little bit of a grudge against La.
Speaker 4: It's almost a cynical take on La, like the inauthentic
Speaker 4: nature of it, the influencers, the name dropping just like
Speaker 4: it's and it's something for the La natives as well.
Speaker 4: So it's basically a love letter portrait, cynical take on
Speaker 4: the city because the city is very different different things.
Speaker 4: And it follows a woman who's a social media manager
Speaker 4: whose friend is a social media star, and her friends
Speaker 4: who are just trying to make their way in this city.
Speaker 4: And if you live in LA you'll get like the
Speaker 4: funny inside jokes. There's this hilarious joke about someone coming
Speaker 4: to New York wanting to go to the beach. The
Speaker 4: LA people are like, oh no, that's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: You have to wake up at eight am.
Speaker 4: You gotta do this whole thing, Like nobody goes to
Speaker 4: the beach unless like you're And it was just a
Speaker 4: hilarious exchange. But as an LA native, you know, I
Speaker 4: have a lot of feelings about it and I can't
Speaker 4: wait to see, like what more they do throughout the
Speaker 4: course of the season, because as an LA native, I
Speaker 4: feel like there is a difference between people who moved
Speaker 4: to LA and the people who've always been to LA,
Speaker 4: and I feel like it's tackling all sides of that.
Speaker 4: So that one's on HBO Max and it features a
Speaker 4: really great cast who has really great chemistry, and I
Speaker 4: would highly highly recommend you guys watching that first episode.
Speaker 3: All right, we have one more show coming up, and
Speaker 3: Ghani's gonna cover that in a second. But to your
Speaker 3: point about La and New York, it seems like La
Speaker 3: and New York, more than any other cities in the world,
Speaker 3: are characters in film and shows, TV shows in and
Speaker 3: of themselves. I mean, and I love that in La,
Speaker 3: you always know it. La has that special La thing,
Speaker 3: in New York has that special New York thing. And
Speaker 3: I love how in many movies I've seen, always thought
Speaker 3: that the city itself was bigger than the actors that
Speaker 3: were in those those At the same time, it's kind
Speaker 3: of interesting. But okay, so you gave us a predator
Speaker 3: bad Lands, which we need to see. I love I
Speaker 3: love how you loved it. You're very passionate about how
Speaker 3: you talked about it. Now, Gandhi, go ahead talk to
Speaker 3: Juju about your discovery.
Speaker 5: So I need to know if you have any insight
Speaker 5: information about why Ryan Murphy is raining terror upon us
Speaker 5: with the things that he's putting out. So first it
Speaker 5: was the Monster series, which the last one was crazy,
Speaker 5: and now he hits us with this Kim Kardashian show.
Speaker 5: All's fair, the promise of it is incredible, and then
Speaker 5: I watched it and I would like to know from
Speaker 5: you what's going on.
Speaker 1: So Ryan Murphy, I fully agree with you.
Speaker 4: He does loves raining terror on people, and I think
Speaker 4: I think he gets off on it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think that's just like his personal thing.
Speaker 4: But it's so funny because he makes so many shows
Speaker 4: that I don't even have on my radar, and I go, oh,
Speaker 4: Ryan Murphy's at it again, right like Alexander Hamilton. So
Speaker 4: I didn't really know about this show until I saw
Speaker 4: the report on the Rotten Tomato School. That was my
Speaker 4: first like brush against it. And apparently it debuts to
Speaker 4: zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and I was like, I
Speaker 4: didn't even know he was making this. So it seems
Speaker 4: that there is a bit of terror when it comes
Speaker 4: to this show, just not for the reasons that we're
Speaker 4: used to from Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 5: Right, it was wild, Well, I'll just say that it
Speaker 5: was wild.
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy about it?
Speaker 5: So it's about a group of women who make their
Speaker 5: own law firm, and you can see that there are
Speaker 5: some parallels to her life, and there are really good
Speaker 5: actresses in this. You've got Naomi Watts, you've got Glenn
Speaker 5: close and then you've got Kim. It's just you know,
Speaker 5: I read the same thing you read, which is what
Speaker 5: made me go watch it, and I thought why.
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure they built the show around Kim because,
Speaker 2: if I remember from Keeping up with the Kardashians, after
Speaker 2: she did his other show, he wanted to work with
Speaker 2: her again, and so he was trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what he could do Wow and her.
Speaker 4: You know, Wow, it's so flat to watch this now.
Speaker 4: I gotta see just how bad this is, Like you
Speaker 4: see what you just did? What?
Speaker 1: This is what you just did?
Speaker 3: Talking about zero zero percent on on on rotten tomatoes
Speaker 3: and telling us how bad it is.
Speaker 1: We all have to watch it and cutting our.
Speaker 3: Guy that shows up every week to tell us to
Speaker 3: tell us what to watch. Now we want him to
Speaker 3: watch something you don't want him to tell us to watch.
Speaker 5: I think it's a moment in pop culture that everyone
Speaker 5: needs to absorbing years.
Speaker 1: Madam Webb, you have to see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you might. You might just have to watch it
Speaker 5: to be like what.
Speaker 1: Oh can I ask a question too?
Speaker 2: Did you just said, Madam? What happened to Kiss of
Speaker 2: the Spider Woman with Jennifer Lopez. It came and went
Speaker 2: with a blink that was crazy.
Speaker 1: Wait wait he came out.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was just done already.
Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, yeah, I forgot it came out. Actually, I
Speaker 1: remember when a cave and I forgot that it was.
Speaker 4: Did you see it?
Speaker 1: Did not see it?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I guess it came and went out of
Speaker 4: my mind as well.
Speaker 3: You pretty much answered your own question, Danielle. It came anyway,
Speaker 3: so Juju Green of course, search for straw Hat Goofy.
Speaker 3: He's everywhere and on your socials, and of course his
Speaker 3: podcast is doing great. What to watch every week. We
Speaker 3: don't go anywhere near anything unless you tell us too.
Speaker 1: Juju. Thanks for coming in. We appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you, guys, and we also have a great interview
Speaker 4: on the podcast this week with the director of Batlands,
Speaker 4: Dan Trachenberg, So make sure you guys check that out
Speaker 4: to get some actual fun Easter eggs about stranger things.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 2: Days twenty days away or like nineteen.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about that in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, having a great weekend, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you. Els After Party
