1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Rob

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: trend Right formerly Robin Right Trend. I am Jack, that

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: is super producer Becca Romo. Hello, how are you? I'm good?

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: How are you? I mean? You know how? I am

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: just buzzing over the plans for this new DC universe.

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Whoa and a new ding movie. Two. That's what we're

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna kick it off with. Two just box office bo

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: banger ideas coming out of Hollywood. Um so the first one.

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: James Gunn's name is trending. James Gunn is the director

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: of one of the Suicide Squads. Um I believe the

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: superior of the Suicide Squads. I thought his was fun.

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: But they've basically turned the keys for the d C

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: universe over to him and Peter Saffren, who I'm not

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: really familiar with. And they basically started running the DC

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: studios three months ago, and today they had their first

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: major announcement of like what what things look like going forward,

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and it's basically they're going to like try and be Marvel.

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: They're still gonna make room for like one off movies

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: like Joker and the Batman, The Batman and Teen Titans Go.

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not familiar with that one, but well,

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: from my understanding, Teen Titans Go, if I'm correct, is

22
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: pulling from the animated show Teen Titans Go. Um. I

23
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: used to be a fan of it. It used to

24
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: be on Cartoon Networks when I was a kid. It

25
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: seems like it's still on base from my quick little google.

26
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: But I didn't know they were making a full fledged

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: film out of it, So yeah, maybe not. Maybe they're

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: just saying that show is like its own standalone thing.

29
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Those will be explicitly labeled as d C else Worlds,

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: so they're like, our big plan is to kind of

31
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: continue doing the same thing, but put a title on

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: our most popular movies that is diminishing to them, and

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: the ones that actually work, the ones people like. We're

34
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: going to people seem to really like. Those are separate

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: from everything we've worked on that people hate. I mean,

36
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts. I am a I

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: don't know a superhero movie goer. I do enjoy the

38
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: m c U over the d C Universe. I just

39
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: think they've done way better world building. Obviously. I think

40
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: there's a crux between either of them in the sense

41
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: that like a Marvel movie is now a very specific

42
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: type of movie, and they've done a really great job

43
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: at integrating all of them and like getting people excited

44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: because there's just like so many stories that like innerlock

45
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: and like tie together. But you know, at the detriment

46
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: of bringing in new talent into the universe. I do

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: think they have a machine and they're like, you must

48
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: fit into our template, and if you don't, your movie

49
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: will fail. And I think that was very much um

50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: the case with the Eternals. You know, like that was

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: a big fail I think in the m c U

52
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: because you're trying to take a director who does not

53
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: film in that style and it's very successful in what

54
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: they do, and you're inserting them into the Marvel universe,

55
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: whereas a DC, I think it's had the opposite problem

56
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: where nothing is cohesive, Like they have all these different

57
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: storylines and in theory, you know, that's the difference between

58
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: DC and Marvel comics is that they are less intertwined

59
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: the Marvel's universe, but they have no cohesion and it's

60
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: just feels like random superhero movies. And I don't think

61
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: they've been able to get into a groove where people

62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: are coming to see DC movies like DC is just

63
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: time and time again unless it is a Batman or

64
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: a Joker has failed to mark. Yeah, I mean so

65
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the ones that they are going with, So they were

66
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: like this not that, So the not that being the

67
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Joker franchise now because there there is going to be

68
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: a Joker two with Harley Quinn and there's going to

69
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: be more, Yeah, Lady Gaga, there's going to be more

70
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the Batman's um and they are like, so not those

71
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: those are else world. We disowned them, but like not officially,

72
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: but like you know, the ones that we're going with

73
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: are the Flash, which has been I think in the

74
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: can for a while and was delayed by all the

75
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Ezra Miller being announcement that they announced changing who the

76
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Flash is going to be. I think they're just going

77
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: with the Flash, I thought, I don't know. Also Shasm two,

78
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: uh right now, did you know we did talk about

79
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: that on yesterday's trending he's a libertarian? Uh An Aquaban too.

80
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: I think they also mentioned which does seem like those

81
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: were not the ones that are like, those are not

82
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the universes that I thought people were most excited about

83
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: in the DC world. So you know, it's just to

84
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: me it feels like them being like the problem is

85
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: there's too many overlapping worlds. There's too much you know,

86
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: like we have the same character being played by multiple

87
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: actors and that makes people mad and is not as

88
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, profitable as as Marvel. But I don't know,

89
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: like the it seems like the things that have been

90
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: working is that they can as opposed to Marvel, like

91
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: do these one off like Joker movie in the style

92
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: of the seventies, like a seventies Scorsese movie, or you know,

93
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, that Suicide Squad movie wasn't good,

94
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a different one. But because he

95
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: was the maker of one of the Suicide Squad movies

96
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: and it was the superior one, but it was also

97
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: like not seen by that many people because it came

98
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: out during the pandemic, and maybe he told himself a

99
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: story about like, well it was because there there's too

100
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: much overlap and stuff. They've really doubled down on this

101
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: idea that we've got to fix it by doing what

102
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: Marvel did sixteen years ago exactly, And I just don't

103
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: know that that is going to be the solution that

104
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: they think it is. But we'll see Superman Legacy. Is

105
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: Henry Calvill coming back. I believe he's out a Superman

106
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: if if my keeping one half closed eye on the

107
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: internet hubbub, I do believe that he is out and

108
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: will no longer be playing Superman. Yeah. And Ryan Reynolds

109
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: was the Greenland turn. But did they get a new

110
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: Green Lantern? Yeah? Then so some of the stuff that announced,

111
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: like HBO series called Lanterns that is like True Detective

112
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: with green lantern, Space Cops, Um, the Brave and the

113
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Bold is like the Batman movie that they're endorsing as

114
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: opposed to the Matt Reeves one that I think people

115
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: were at least were like, all right, I mean this

116
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: was different enough to justify it being a Batman movie.

117
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: And yes, Superman Legacy is coming in July eleven five.

118
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what really what that's going to be,

119
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I got people talking, But like

120
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: in terms of an overall vision, I am a little

121
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: bit confused by it, as I am with this other announcement,

122
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: which is Robert Zemeckis, who hasn't made a good movie

123
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: since he became obsessed with computer effects. So he made

124
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: back to the future, back to the future too Forrest Gump,

125
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: which eminently watchable though very problematic and so problematic, not

126
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: a great movie. But and then like he fell into

127
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: the like making Beowulf and then the you know a

128
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Christmas Carol Starr and Polar Express and the Computer that

129
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: is a movie I've seen way too many times because

130
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: my son was obsessed with trance for a little bit.

131
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: But he made that strange Marwin movie, so he is no.

132
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: So he didn't do Gemini Man, but I saw a

133
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: chunk of Gemini Man. Gemini Man is the biggest movie,

134
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: like the biggest gamble on d aging technology. Gemini Man

135
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: was a movie where they were like, okay, Will Smith

136
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: and Will Smith like so it's like current Will Smith

137
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: versus younger, d aged computer d aged Will Smith. And

138
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: it's directed by Angle. There's some cool action sequences in it,

139
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: and it doesn't work because the d aged Will Smith

140
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: looks like a computer, like a video game cut scene, Like,

141
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like Will Smith. Because we all know

142
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: what young Wilson. He's been on TV since it was,

143
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, seventeen. So he has announced that he is

144
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: partnering with Tom Hanks and Robin Right to make a

145
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: movie in which like I guess it's based on a

146
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: graphic novel that all takes place in a single room.

147
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: It's called Here, and it's like takes place in a

148
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: single room as like people aged throughout time, so you

149
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: see the scenes that people had in this room over

150
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the course of their lives. Cool concept. Um, it feels

151
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: like this is not the way to go about bringing

152
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: it to life because the the big announcement is that

153
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: he is partnering with the AI affirm that made the

154
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: deep fake Tom Cruise videos. So they're like, yeah, I

155
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: mean those were more convincing than Gemini. Man, that's true. Absolutely.

156
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I think it's more just the idea of deep bake technology,

157
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, like it's such a scary ground to be

158
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: walking in water, to be walking in I guess, yes,

159
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: but I'll be intrigued. Yeah, it could, it could be interesting.

160
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Roberts mackis, you know, he's he's just

161
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: going to keep doing it until he gets it right

162
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: with the computer animation. Um, so we'll see. All right,

163
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break, we'll come right back, and

164
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: we're back and we're on real Hollywood kick today. Because

165
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: there's a scandal about the best Actress category of the Oscars.

166
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: When that category the nominees were announced, everyone was like,

167
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: to who now what is Leslie? Who? Who? Who is Leslie? Um,

168
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: this is Andrea Rice Borro performance in a film to Leslie?

169
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Which is it made like twenty thousand dollars the box office,

170
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: So everyone was like, well, nobody tho dollars in the

171
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: box office. Everyone's like an independent film in a limited release,

172
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: so it already did not have a ton of traction

173
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: to go see it because it had a limited run

174
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: and it was a first time directorial debut from the

175
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: director Michael Morris, so you know, it was just a

176
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: very obscure movie. Yeah, and there's usually some sort of

177
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: bar for like number of people that have seen a

178
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: thing for it to get nominated. Um. I think that

179
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: probably that bars also has something to do with big

180
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: studios investing the money in the campaign too. So the

181
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: thing the Academy is saying, they're coming back. They're saying, look,

182
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: we're not going to take away the nomination, but we

183
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: are going to take a hard look at the tactics

184
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: that the director of this film used to target some

185
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: of the Academy voters via social media, and that just

186
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: it feels a little like, okay, but so are you

187
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna look at the tactics that all studios and all

188
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: all the people who spend money on four year consideration

189
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: campaigns out here use. Yeah, like that's and also it's

190
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: just like I don't understand how this one movie is

191
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: the glaring issue versus the historic goal issues of racism

192
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: with the Academy voting and promotion and and not even

193
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: just racism in the terms of purposely not choosing any

194
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: black or brown actors, but also in the marketing dollars

195
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: those movies get, you know, the lack of promotion they

196
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: get and the lack of proper targeting that they get

197
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: because they simply do not have the budgets that these

198
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: other films do because of their cast list or whatever

199
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: may have you. So I hope they take a good

200
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: look at how they're doing voting in general across the board.

201
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: I think the Golden Globes always gets called out for

202
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: being bought out. So I know this is the Oscars

203
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: and not the Golden Globes, but I think it's you know, uh,

204
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: the film industry at largees issue when it comes to

205
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: representation and voting and all those things. Help. MICHELLEO gets

206
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: it for everything everywhere, all at once. I will say,

207
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: in the best actress category, you can almost say the

208
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: same thing as on a day armisis nomination for Blonde

209
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: because I don't feel like a lot of people saw it.

210
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: It was very much a highly boycotted and uh scandalous movie,

211
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: Like people were very upset that it was made. A

212
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: lot of the feedback was like this was just so

213
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: disparaging to Maryland's image and like can we let her rest?

214
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Like for these violent scenes really necessary? There is It's

215
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: like based on a book that like was a fantasy,

216
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: like almost a rape fantasy of Maryland's life. Like it

217
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: just really is a bad screen play to be working

218
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: off of. So you know, I know, Armist did her best.

219
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: Uh it's not her fault innocence a little bit in

220
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: the sense she shouldn't have maybe taken the role. But yeah,

221
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I am curious how people are feeling about that nomination

222
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: over this one too. So yeah, yeah, I mean I

223
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: feel like the thing the reason that this is getting

224
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: attention is because it is people who don't have the

225
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: official like gatekeeper stamp of approval and the official like

226
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: backing of you know, the people with money in Hollywood

227
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: doing what the what the studios already do and so

228
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: it's well, that's that's dangerous. But I mean, I'm all

229
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: for people finding out, like the Academy What what if

230
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the Academy Awards were away for people to find out

231
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: about movies also that they had missed. And you know,

232
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't mind that they're nominating smaller movies. I do

233
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: wish they did it with movies that were made by

234
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: non white people. Um. All right, and then finally we've

235
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: been brought to the bad Guide section of I don't

236
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: know if it's bad guide, but we have the worst

237
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Valentine's Gift Guide, uh named Yeah, well, the Verge is

238
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: bringing us there three gift ideas him her couples. This

239
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: is the U R L. I'm just trying to Yes,

240
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I would like to say, Jack, do you feel like

241
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: if guides are helpful? Do you use gift guides and

242
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: your gift giving activities over the year for your wife

243
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: and your children. I just do all my shopping for

244
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: my wife at Lids, so like, I get all my

245
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Christmas presents, anniversary present that Lids um and then she

246
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: usually doesn't like the hat, so I get a cool

247
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: hat out of the deal. Um no, I I don't.

248
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: I think that when you're at the level of gift guide,

249
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: it's probably a lot a loss at that point. That's

250
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: how I feel. I feel like if guys are antiquated.

251
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: I've seen some come through TikTok, like people making gift

252
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: guides being like these are the perfect gifts for your

253
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: boyfriend this season, and I'm like, I would never buy

254
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: my boyfriend any of these gifts. And that is how

255
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: I feel looking at the Virgin's Gift Guide. Do you

256
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: want any notable I'm gonna I'm looking at it for

257
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: the first time now. Um, all right, So here's an

258
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: interesting one. The Dash Mini wafflemaker. Yes, in heart shape?

259
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: Does it? Okay? So it does make heart chicks waffles,

260
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: which is from the Valentine's Lists. That's always a thing

261
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: that confuses me when somebody gets you a gift that

262
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: is based on only that holiday, you know what I mean,

263
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: Like getting Christmas socks for someone on Christmas that like

264
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: they won't be able to wear again until the next year,

265
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: or something like that. I see those gifts out there

266
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: when I'm like Christmas shopping at lids. Sometimes it will

267
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: be a Christmas Team Duck baseball cap, and uh, I'm

268
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: like that that's confusing to me. I feel that way

269
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: with anything, especially the Valentine's themes, because I feel some

270
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: type of way about Valentine's Day in the sense that

271
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: like it feels like a very not that all holidays

272
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: aren't consumers, but like especially like what are you do

273
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: with all that heart stuff? Like what are you gonna

274
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: do with all of the you know, expensive dinners, Like

275
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: everything's just priced for no reason. I think it's great

276
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: to use any opportunity to like celebrate your person and

277
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: your partner in like an authentic way to use a couple,

278
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: but like to have to be like I have to

279
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: buy them a heart shape block it is to me

280
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: so wasteful because when are they ever going to what that?

281
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: But it's also just such a strange collection of Yeah,

282
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: there's an essential magnet charger for your phone. That's just

283
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: just a charger, just a phone charger, um. And then

284
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: further down they have like another charger, like there's like

285
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna want a charger just said the networking switch

286
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: like for Valiche, Yeah, they have a Ethernet like net

287
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: gear networking switch that's like is this done with tongue

288
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: in cheek and then Apple air pods. It's like, yeah,

289
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: I've heard of though as well. Thank you, thank you

290
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: for this, So that's cool. Only gift I see on

291
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: this list that I was like, yeah, that makes sense,

292
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: but you'd have to be not as neurotic as me

293
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: and already own it is the We're Not Really Strangers

294
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Couple's edition. I think that is a perfect gift in

295
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: the sense that if you are in a newer relationship,

296
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: a relationship that like maybe you're just now hitting a

297
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: more serious spot like a six month mark, a year mark,

298
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: and you haven't played this game. It's an incredible game

299
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: for like, you know, going deeper with your partner and

300
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: seeing you know these like learning about them at a

301
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: whole new level in an authentic way, and it's like

302
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: very romantic. You can like have a dinner or whatever.

303
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: But otherwise, like I'm neurotic and I own Everywhere Not

304
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Really Strangers game. There's an ethnically ambiguous episode where we

305
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: played it. Because I own all of them. I find

306
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: them very fun, very great for you know, emotional intimacy

307
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: with your friends, with your loved ones or your family.

308
