1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Allen's Entertainment report. He's on the Bread Show, Jason. They

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: needed you and your doc Martin's in Florida over the

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: weekend because Barbie fans were left super disappointed after experiencing

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: what was supposed to be a fun filled, glittery weekend

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: full of immersive attractions and themed installations at the Barbie

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Dreamfest in Florida Fort Lauderdale, Florida, comparing it to that

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: of the Remember the Willy Wonka experience that went viral

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. I think that was in Europe somewhere,

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: or fire festival people are calling it. Oh. Dreamfest ticket

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: holders were very unimpressed by the mediocre three day event

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend. They charged Barbie fans seventy two dollars

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: a day for that was one day pass, but then

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty two bucks for VIP, which included

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: a swag bag that consisted of a small plastic care

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: brush and a dollar store hand sanitizer that was from Reddit.

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I was reading that other pictures and videos on social

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: show flimsy set designs, activations like a really sad looking

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: roller disco rank that even if it was free, there

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: was like a bike course, like it wouldn't be worth it.

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: One festival goer said she spent one thousand dollars for

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: tickets and travel and wrote, there were five or six

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: different ballrooms that ballrooms that you had to try and

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: figure out which one was yours. You weren't given a

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: program or a schedule, so you had to look online

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: and hope that that was accurate. But then things were

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: getting moved and canceled, so you didn't even know where

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: you were going. She said. She went up to guest services.

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: They asked this woman, I'm sorry, is this it? And

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: the woman took a sigh and she looked really disappointed.

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, we've gotten that question a lot, but yes,

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: this is it. The post got a ton of comments

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: like they didn't even bother to have booths or vendors.

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Not a great look for Mattel or Barbie or other promoters.

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how we're still having events that bad,

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, it's going to blow

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: up on social. Speaking of blowing up on social, but

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: this is for a good reason. Project Hail Mary, that

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: movie with Ryan Gosling is crushing it at the box office.

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: It did took the number one spot over the weekend again,

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: and while we're talking about Ryan, I want to mention

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: a fun, little full circle moment that's in the works

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: for him. During a recent interview, he said he because

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: he's doing pressed for the movie. He said he grew

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: up watching Days of Our Lives Duel as some people

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: call it, and was especially inspired by longtime star Deirdre Hall,

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: even calling her his og acting inspiration. After hearing that,

47
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: she responded inviting him to the set for the you know,

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: just to do a little tour and come say hi

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: to the actors. He didn't even hesitate. I love him.

50
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: He posted a video saying, tell me when where I

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: will be there. I'll be ready to hang out or

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: work if you want me to, so we could come

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: bankor in person. Also praised soap actors in general, saying

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: they don't get enough credit for the demanding work they do.

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: They have to memorize if you guys didn't know a

56
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: massive amount of lines, because you know, they're filming every

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: day and then obviously they're performing really intense scenes. People

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: are getting you know, thrown down the stairs and everybody's

59
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: always crying. Michael B. Jordan, Kelly Ripa, Herman Mark Nsuelos.

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: They all got their start working in soap, So shout

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: out to them, and Leslie Ella Langley shout out to her.

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: She's still trying to wrap her head around the massive

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: success of her breakout hit Choose in Texas. She's making

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: all kinds of history as a female country artist for

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: the song right now. She says that she's never expected

66
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: this to connect in the way it has, said it's

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: really surreal, admitting she doesn't fully understand why it's resonated

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: with so many people. She does see how fans have

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: made the song their own, embracing its attitude, message of

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: confidence independence, saying it's exactly what you should feel without apologizing.

71
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: For her though, that connection has been the most rewarding part,

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: even if the scale of it all feels hard to believe,

73
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,959
