<v Speaker 1>Juju Let's go.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you just said.

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 3>That you were very very stoked for today's report. Why

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 3>what is going on? What do you have up your sleeve?

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I am very very stoked.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 4>As a huge fan, I got three things for us

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 4>to watch, but we gotta start with the theaters as

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 4>I often do. But as a huge fan of the

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 4>Predator franchise, as a huge fan of the director Dan Trachenberg,

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 4>who's been killing it with the Predator franchise as of late,

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 4>we have a new movie coming out this weekend featuring

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 4>a Predator.

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It's called Predator.

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Batlands, and this is actually a first for the entire franchise.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 4>If you love Predator, you know it's mainly about an

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.119
<v Speaker 4>alien comes to Earth. Stalks a bunch of people, kills

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of people.

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>But this is the.

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 4>First Alien Predator movie where the Yauja aka the Predator

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 4>is the main character. It's entirely from their perspective. It's

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 4>an action flick about a predator named Deck on his

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 4>first hunt, trying to prove himself because he's actually the

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 4>little of the Predator clan.

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>And so he really has to himself to his father.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 4>It's a predator with a debt with daddy issues which

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 4>we've never seen.

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Wait, this is sounding like scary. He's a daddy with

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 3>predator issues anyway, but go right ahead. So from the

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 3>perspective of the Predator, this is a whole new way

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 3>of doing this.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 4>This is a whole new way of doing the story.

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 4>And for those for those who like have only been

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 4>used to seeing the Predator in a certain way, you'll

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>probably find it funny to know that the director Dan

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Tratcherberg talked to James Cameron himself of Titanic and Avatar fame,

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 4>and James Cameron told him that it wouldn't work, and

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 4>then after seeing the movie he said, well, shit, that

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 4>actually worked. Sorry the radio, but after seeing the movie twice,

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 4>I can let you know that it does definitely work.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 4>It's actually a surprisingly heartfelt story that I never thought

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 4>I would say when it comes to a Predator film.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>So it's a lot to love about this movie.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 4>The action is top notch, the visuals are pretty amazing,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 4>and it actually is a story about found family and

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 4>breaking away from the code of what you thought you was.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 4>A very brutal character actually has some heart to it.

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 4>So I actually love Predator bad Lands. And this is

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Dani Tratcherberg's third Predator movie, and I just want him

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 4>to keep making them till the end of time.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, so this is the first Predator. It sounds like

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 3>that we're actually gonna like and have a connection with

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>the runt of the Predator group. Really right, Okay, so

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Predator Badlands, Okay, what's.

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>This next up? I actually just watched this movie last night.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I got this as a screener from Netflix and it

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 4>premieres on Netflix this Friday. It's called Train Dreams and

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 4>it is a fantastic movie. It's a huge Oscar contender.

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know much about the movie going in, but

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 4>essentially what the story is about, it's about this logger

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 4>from I believe he's like in the nineteen twenties, and

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 4>it's this logger who essentially is about his life. He's

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 4>very isolated, he doesn't really have a lot of friends

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 4>to speak of, and then everything changes when he meets

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 4>a woman named Gladys, and so now his job which

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 4>takes him off to far away places and he pretty

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>much has to like walk back home for like long

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 4>periods of time.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>He just wants to get back to his family. It's

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>very heartfelt.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 4>It looks beautiful, like even when you're watching it at home,

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 4>it just made me wish I could watch it in

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 4>the theater because it just looks that gorgeous. It has

0:03:56.400 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>character has Joe Edgerton as the main character. Joe Edgerton's

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 4>the main character. You also have William H. Macy in

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 4>a very sweet role as the old man of the

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>longer crew and.

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I love you some William H.

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Macy as well as oh my god, I'm blinking on

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 4>the actresses name right now, Oh my god.

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Felicity Jones is also playing Gladys in the movie. The

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 4>movie is so heartfelt. I can't stress how beautiful it looks.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 4>And it's just a great meditation on life. On the

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 4>passage of time because the movie takes place over the

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 4>course of many decades, and how one life can be

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 4>affected by many different people, and how we can affect

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 4>other people's lives, and it's.

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>All done like.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Like the It's one of the best films that I've

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 4>seen this year, and I cannot stress that enough. I

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 4>think it might have cracked my.

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Top ten in fun to watch. So Train Dream.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 4>You can watch it at any time, but just know

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 4>that when you do, you're probably gonna need some tissues

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 4>because it does the heart strings quite a bit.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I love that, all right? What else you have? All right?

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 4>So this one is actually a series that just premiere.

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>You can watch it right now. It's called I Love

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 4>La and it's produced, written, and created by Rachel Sennett,

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 4>who's very young, but she really knows how to put

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 4>together a movie. She knows how to put together a series.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 4>And this is essentially a series for the people who

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 4>are they got a little bit of a grudge against La.

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 4>It's almost a cynical take on La, like the inauthentic

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 4>nature of it, the influencers, the name dropping just like

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 4>it's and it's something for the La natives as well.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 4>So it's basically a love letter portrait, cynical take on

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 4>the city because the city is very different different things.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 4>And it follows a woman who's a social media manager

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 4>whose friend is a social media star, and her friends

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 4>who are just trying to make their way in this city.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 4>And if you live in LA you'll get like the

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 4>funny inside jokes. There's this hilarious joke about someone coming

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 4>to New York wanting to go to the beach. The

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 4>LA people are like, oh no, that's a whole thing.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.239
<v Speaker 1>You have to wake up at eight am.

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 4>You gotta do this whole thing, Like nobody goes to

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 4>the beach unless like you're And it was just a

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 4>hilarious exchange. But as an LA native, you know, I

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of feelings about it and I can't

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 4>wait to see, like what more they do throughout the

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 4>course of the season, because as an LA native, I

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 4>feel like there is a difference between people who moved

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 4>to LA and the people who've always been to LA,

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like it's tackling all sides of that.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 4>So that one's on HBO Max and it features a

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 4>really great cast who has really great chemistry, and I

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 4>would highly highly recommend you guys watching that first episode.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, we have one more show coming up, and

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Ghani's gonna cover that in a second. But to your

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 3>point about La and New York, it seems like La

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 3>and New York, more than any other cities in the world,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 3>are characters in film and shows, TV shows in and

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>of themselves. I mean, and I love that in La,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>you always know it. La has that special La thing,

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 3>in New York has that special New York thing. And

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 3>I love how in many movies I've seen, always thought

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 3>that the city itself was bigger than the actors that

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 3>were in those those At the same time, it's kind

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 3>of interesting. But okay, so you gave us a predator

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 3>bad Lands, which we need to see. I love I

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>love how you loved it. You're very passionate about how

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 3>you talked about it. Now, Gandhi, go ahead talk to

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Juju about your discovery.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 5>So I need to know if you have any insight

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 5>information about why Ryan Murphy is raining terror upon us

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 5>with the things that he's putting out. So first it

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 5>was the Monster series, which the last one was crazy,

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 5>and now he hits us with this Kim Kardashian show.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 5>All's fair, the promise of it is incredible, and then

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 5>I watched it and I would like to know from

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 5>you what's going on.

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>So Ryan Murphy, I fully agree with you.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 4>He does loves raining terror on people, and I think

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 4>I think he gets off on it a little bit.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's just like his personal thing.

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 4>But it's so funny because he makes so many shows

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>that I don't even have on my radar, and I go, oh,

0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Ryan Murphy's at it again, right like Alexander Hamilton. So

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 4>I didn't really know about this show until I saw

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 4>the report on the Rotten Tomato School. That was my

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 4>first like brush against it. And apparently it debuts to

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 4>zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and I was like, I

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 4>didn't even know he was making this. So it seems

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 4>that there is a bit of terror when it comes

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 4>to this show, just not for the reasons that we're

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 4>used to from Ryan Murphy.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Right, it was wild, Well, I'll just say that it

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 5>was wild.

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's crazy about it?

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 5>So it's about a group of women who make their

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 5>own law firm, and you can see that there are

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 5>some parallels to her life, and there are really good

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 5>actresses in this. You've got Naomi Watts, you've got Glenn

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 5>close and then you've got Kim. It's just you know,

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 5>I read the same thing you read, which is what

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 5>made me go watch it, and I thought why.

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm pretty sure they built the show around Kim because,

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>if I remember from Keeping up with the Kardashians, after

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>she did his other show, he wanted to work with

0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>her again, and so he was trying to figure out

0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>what he could do Wow and her.

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, Wow, it's so flat to watch this now.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 4>I gotta see just how bad this is, Like you

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 4>see what you just did? What?

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>This is what you just did?

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Talking about zero zero percent on on on rotten tomatoes

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 3>and telling us how bad it is.

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>We all have to watch it and cutting our.

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Guy that shows up every week to tell us to

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 3>tell us what to watch. Now we want him to

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 3>watch something you don't want him to tell us to watch.

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a moment in pop culture that everyone

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 5>needs to absorbing years.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Madam Webb, you have to see it.

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.080

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:39.839
<v Speaker 5>to be like what.

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh can I ask a question too?

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Did you just said, Madam? What happened to Kiss of

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 2>the Spider Woman with Jennifer Lopez. It came and went

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.439
<v Speaker 2>with a blink that was crazy.
