For Frankenstein. My favorite part of this 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: whole story is that Alan Cumming is hosting this the 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: the Baftors this year. I love Alan Cumming and they're 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: being held on February the twenty seconds. 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: So all the movie stars and the directors just have 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: to block out this time of year because it's just 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: awards night after a war. It's not after awards. 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: Yes, it all wraps up with the Oscars on March fifteen. 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: It's been confirmed that Jennifer Gray will reprise her role 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: as the baby No One puts in a corner in 31 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: the upcoming Dirty Dancing sequel This Yeah, She's no Baby 32 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: no more. This sequel was initially announced back in twenty twenty, 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: so she's getting even lofe great. 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: She's been in phizygos since they get to reprise it. 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: It has faced all matter of delays and release date pushbacks, 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: primarily due to industry strikes. While details about the plot 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: remain under wraps, the main question is how the sequel 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: will address the absence of Patrick Swayze's character Johnny Castle, 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: considering Patsy died in two thousand and nine. Full disclosure, 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: I've never seen Dirty Dancing, never, never, I mean it 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: was nineteen eighty seven. I was too busy watching The 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: Lost Boys on repeat, no time for Dirty Dancing. 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: I think I've seen it once. Yeah, my wife absolutely 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: loves it. She's said it about thirty seven times we 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: saw the musical. 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: I think it was a ground It never appealed to me, 47 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: the Dirty Dancing. There is a story in the news 48 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: this morning that call me old fashioned, but we might 49 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: want to take seriously before it really gets away from us, 50 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 2: the gen Z reading crisis. Albeit this story is from 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: the States, but statistics show it's you know, not gone 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: unnoticed here in the US. College professors report many students 53 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: struggle to read and process full sentences. They say up 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: to half of their students identify as identify as novice 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: or reluctant readers. That sentence in and of itself could 56 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: be part of the problem. Experts and tribute this decline 57 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: in reading ability to a scanning culture fueled by social 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: media TikTok and reliance and reliance on AI generated summaries, 59 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 2: which all detract from deep comprehension skills. It's ironic, isn't 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: it that a time where we've never had so many resources, 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: we're dumb as buckets of rocks. 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: More information than ever in humanity. 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: Some educators now resort to reading passages allowed in class 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: due to students inability to engage with the material independently. 65 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: Concerns are rising over the long term effects of these 66 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: reading deficiencies, with fears that a lack of shared literacy 67 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: could lead to social isolation and a decrease in empathy 68 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: and community engagement. What a time to be alive. Oh, 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 2: pick up a book, kids, you'll thank me later. I'd 70 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: see it's long term effects. I worry about these people 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: that go you know, they write something illiterate online and 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: you have a go at them and they're like, yeah, 73 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. But it doesn't. But 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: yeah I do because I have fairly good comprehension skills. 75 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: But that's not the point. 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: No, But it's all about whether you put the right 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: emoji at the end. That's how you know you know 78 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: what I mean.
