up. Oh, look. Got my socks on. Got the twins
00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:20.800
on. Got the left and the right. I hope they're
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.519
on the right feet. I don't know if it's. I don't
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.960
know. I'm not even going to tell you how stretched
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.600
out they look when they're actually on. Oh, man.
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.799
Did I get a gift sign or something? Pretend that's
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.259
not happening. We won't check at that. What else
00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:37.759
did you get for Christmas over there? You got
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.740
any more Christmas gifts to show? I love seeing
00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:43.000
what people get. Yeah. Yesterday's episode, we
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.420
talked about... 2025 TV shows and all the things
00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:52.700
and mine always and forever will be my top TV
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:58.700
show X files my parents got X files golden book
00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.219
Oh, man. Look at that. The truth is out there.
00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:03.560
You know, so that I can read it with my kids
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.359
and make sure that they are well -educated in
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.439
all of the creepy. Oh, I love it. Sewer Monster.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.019
This was my very first episode I actually remember
00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:18.760
seeing when I was little. The Sewer Monster.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.319
When I first watched The Sewer Monster, one that
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.099
comes out of out of the toilet. Yeah. Pretty
00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:26.519
creepy. There's another picture of it. I just
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.620
started. I like to put something on in the background
00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:33.000
while I work. And you'll love it. I just started
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.739
X -Files, season one, episode one, because it
00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:39.120
popped up on Disney, or Hulu, or one of those.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.659
Yeah, it's on now. I've got an iPad right here.
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.340
I work right here. And I just have the iPad on.
00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:48.459
And I run X -Files in the background. I love
00:01:48.459 --> 00:01:51.159
it. Yeah, that's a good one. I used to true.
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.280
Trivia myself? Can you trivia yourself? I used
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.239
to check my X -Files fanatic skills and I would
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.900
have somebody play an episode and see if I could
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:07.040
guess it within the first 30 seconds of listening
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.699
to it. I was very good. I knew all of the episode
00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:13.039
names too. I don't think I could do that anymore,
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.870
but I could probably describe it. But it made
00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:18.490
me pull out my collection. Now, I used to have
00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:24.169
a way bigger collection of X -Files collectibles.
00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:27.750
Unfortunately, hundreds and hundreds of dollars
00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:31.849
worth of books, postcards, posters, maps. I had
00:02:31.849 --> 00:02:34.729
everything, everything. And this is all that's
00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.909
left. And I've got the movie action figures.
00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:42.729
Whoa, make Farland toys too. That's a huge collector's
00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.379
kit. Yeah, these are... These are, these have
00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:50.280
seen many days, but I've got the movie, the truth
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.500
is out there, Mulder. I love that. And my absolute
00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:55.860
favorite, which I'm waiting, waiting, holding
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.180
on to. Maybe someday there'll be money. We've
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:02.120
got Mulder and Scully, the Barbie and Ken. Look
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.120
at that. That's incredible. You better lock those
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.319
away from the kids, not let anybody else touch
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.419
them. Put them in a humidor, what is it, a humidor?
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:13.500
Like a little, you know. I know. They haven't
00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.460
been that well cared for. But they're still here.
00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:17.800
They're still kicking. They're still around.
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.060
Look at my action figure I got for Christmas
00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:24.680
here. Check this out. It's John Cena. What? He's
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.740
clear. Because his catchphrase is, you can't
00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:31.759
see me. So they made a John Cena Mattel doll
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.300
that you can't see. And Lindsay happened to find
00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.919
me this bad boy. It's hard to find. Sold out
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.900
everywhere. But she got me there. Hold on to
00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.430
that one too. I love it. I thought that was one
00:03:41.430 --> 00:03:44.090
of the greatest action figures ever, that they
00:03:44.090 --> 00:03:47.550
put a legit clear version out. I just recognize
00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:49.090
this over here, too. Look, check out my ornament.
00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:51.990
Do you guys do ornaments every year, where you
00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.550
get an ornament, put the date on it? Sure. We
00:03:55.550 --> 00:03:57.710
get ones that are made out of popsicle sticks
00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.569
and glitter from the kids. Now, see, we get those,
00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:03.889
too. But we get a nice one to put away that's
00:04:03.889 --> 00:04:05.289
sentimental. And that's why this one's still
00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:07.569
in the box, because we can't get anything nice
00:04:07.569 --> 00:04:10.849
out. We got another. Ten twelve years before
00:04:10.849 --> 00:04:12.969
we get the nice Christmas shit out anymore, but
00:04:12.969 --> 00:04:15.669
check this one out. I Like this Lindsey got me
00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:20.870
this the cow It's from Central Park the catcher
00:04:20.870 --> 00:04:23.230
friends people know me It's not hard to get me
00:04:23.230 --> 00:04:24.629
anything. Like you said you said that before
00:04:24.629 --> 00:04:27.949
it's not hard I know when somebody has a thing
00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:30.750
and you know what their thing is. It's so easy.
00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:35.360
It's like there's you know Just get me something
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.259
from a TV show or a video game or whatever here.
00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:41.600
I mean, oh Look at this. I've got this evil thing
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.420
kids gave me this for Christmas. It's a la boo
00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:46.439
-boo Hmm. I'm not sure how I feel about him yet.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.160
But yeah, I don't know either He's got a D. He's
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.360
got a D There was a sticker that came with him
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.680
and I don't think he's evil but he might be but
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.319
I hope not because the D says Here's the sticker
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.269
comes with him. Yeah, is it dollar? So I don't
00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:07.350
know if this is gonna be money for me right here
00:05:07.350 --> 00:05:10.750
this la boo -boo, but I'm gonna make sure that
00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:14.610
I Don't miss it money bring in the money. That's
00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:19.930
what is So mad powers are so Santa Santa gave
00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:22.930
everybody in the family some la boo -boos, right?
00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:24.509
And you know me and Lindsay got the two little
00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.490
ones keychain versions and the kids got the bigger
00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:31.110
ones. Well, my oldest is scared of the la boo
00:05:31.110 --> 00:05:35.019
-boo and He keeps chaining them, chaining up
00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:37.319
the Labooboo or making cages out of Legos and
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.600
keeps it trapped in there. I walked in the other
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.060
day and there was a Lego board and the Labooboo
00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:44.720
was strapped up like this. I went and chained
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.120
it. I said, what are you doing? He said, I don't
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.860
want to let it loose. I mean, that's fair. That's
00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.589
fair. He's six years old, but he's got a little
00:05:55.589 --> 00:05:58.029
boo boo chained up. He's like, this dude's not
00:05:58.029 --> 00:06:00.610
coming alive at night. I'm going to wrap its
00:06:00.610 --> 00:06:03.889
creepy little arms around me and pull me under
00:06:03.889 --> 00:06:06.889
the bed or something. What's wrong? Why are these
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:09.589
evil? Tammy, what's wrong with this thing? Well,
00:06:10.329 --> 00:06:13.649
I mean, it's kind of like, you know, what I think
00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:17.449
of as as the fey creatures that are, you know,
00:06:17.569 --> 00:06:20.759
maybe not evil, but just. You better treat me
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.519
right. I'm dangerous, right? OK. That's kind
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.000
of the vibe I get from them, just in their little
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.120
creepy smile and their little eyes staring at
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.100
you and, you know, locking it away like a leprechaun
00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.240
might not be such a bad idea. Your son might
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.160
have the right idea about that. You think so,
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.759
but I keep mine here in a place of prominence,
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.699
in a place of power, because I don't want...
00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.509
Keep an eye on that. Yeah, so now I'm thinking
00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:49.290
maybe we should cage the bad boy up, though,
00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:52.029
because I don't have a cage here. I would say,
00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:56.790
at least, you might want to appease it with some
00:06:56.790 --> 00:06:58.649
offerings once in a while. You know, if you're
00:06:58.649 --> 00:07:01.470
munching on a cookie, just leave some pieces
00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:04.829
of cookie for that little guy, and keep him happy.
00:07:05.670 --> 00:07:07.589
Feed it. You're saying feed it. Don't feed it
00:07:07.589 --> 00:07:10.009
after midnight like the gremlins, because that's
00:07:10.009 --> 00:07:13.269
when things go eight shit, as they say, right?
00:07:13.769 --> 00:07:17.050
Uh -huh. Mm -hmm. For sure. Let's talk about
00:07:17.050 --> 00:07:22.129
our movies of 2025. Yeah. We did TV shows, and
00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:25.170
now I want to talk about the best movies I saw,
00:07:25.209 --> 00:07:27.470
maybe the best ones I didn't see that we need
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:29.930
to see. Mm -hmm. There's a lot more of those
00:07:29.930 --> 00:07:32.329
on my list. You know what? One of them just popped
00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:36.050
in my head. Sinners. Did you see Sinners? No.
00:07:36.670 --> 00:07:39.910
That movie right there was fire. It was not what
00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:45.579
I expected. You know what? I don't even really
00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:48.319
want to give spoilers. It's a bunch of racist
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.040
stuff in there. And you're like, holy cow. It's
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.819
like black people back when there was slavery
00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:58.980
and all this stuff. They had their hideaway.
00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:02.500
But then this movie takes an unexpected turn
00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:05.779
where you're like, what the fuck? It's wild.
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.759
The music. Oh my god. On point. One of the best
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.120
music scenes I've seen. in a movie, actually
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.779
there was a Welcome the Dairy music scene, real
00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:21.720
similar. But this movie, all the top actors you
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.660
can think of are in it. You had Michael B. Jordan
00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.860
and all them, all the top A -listers. But this
00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:30.899
movie was fun, and the music, like I said, and
00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:32.840
if you really pay attention to it, the songs
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.460
are so creepy, but they're telling the story
00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:38.529
as you go. So. I loved it. I thought that was
00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:41.049
a solid one. You know what? I will make a prediction
00:08:41.049 --> 00:08:44.830
right now. Sinners will get nominated for an
00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:47.450
Oscar. It's going to be nominated for Picture
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:50.830
of the Year. I could see it maybe not winning,
00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:54.570
but at least being in the talks of Picture of
00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:57.129
the Year. I think you can watch that on HBO Max
00:08:57.129 --> 00:08:59.350
now. But yeah, I liked it. I thought it was great.
00:08:59.669 --> 00:09:02.289
It's actually on Amazon Prime, too. So check
00:09:02.289 --> 00:09:05.129
that one out if you haven't. What do you got?
00:09:05.669 --> 00:09:09.090
There you go. I have a couple that stood out
00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:11.950
to me. And really, I've watched them all just
00:09:11.950 --> 00:09:14.570
in the last couple months. I mean, we're at an
00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:20.669
age now where going to the movies is not as easy
00:09:20.669 --> 00:09:23.590
as it used to be. I mean, you know, we're at
00:09:23.590 --> 00:09:27.070
an age, just you and I, we've little kids and
00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:28.529
going to the movie theaters is just something
00:09:28.529 --> 00:09:32.240
so rare. So everything that comes out. we're
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.559
going to see it when it comes out a couple of
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.299
months later streaming, more so than jumping
00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.259
on that bandwagon opening night kind of a deal,
00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:42.740
unless it's a really big anticipated movie. But
00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.539
I've seen a couple of these movies just in the
00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:47.019
last couple of months. So the one that we watched
00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:51.639
not too long ago was The Venetian. Oh, yeah.
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.299
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Benicio del Toro. Michael Cera
00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:02.899
was in it. Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah, yeah,
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:04.899
I was gonna say the Wes Anderson movies have
00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:11.000
just the absolute Right Characteristics, you
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.960
know, you know what you know what you're gonna
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:19.899
get into this kind of weird bantery Clipped talking
00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:22.200
back and forth kind of vibe. I mean, they're
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.000
all kind of like that, but I love it. I love
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:29.529
Wes Anderson is definitely one of those directors
00:10:29.529 --> 00:10:32.909
that has a director trademark. Like, he's got
00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:35.629
certain things that you're like, oh, that's Wes
00:10:35.629 --> 00:10:38.250
Anderson. You don't have to see his name on there.
00:10:38.269 --> 00:10:41.289
I love it, you know? Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wasn't
00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:44.929
that one of his too? Was that him? Yeah. Fantastic.
00:10:45.029 --> 00:10:47.710
Oh, I don't know. I think that was one. That
00:10:47.710 --> 00:10:49.649
was the animated one with George Clooney played
00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:51.690
the fox. I love that one. There was a bunch of
00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:55.399
these. Yep, I think you're right. Yep, same type
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.840
of dialogue, same all that, but you know, not
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.320
live action, but it was, you know it's him. Yeah.
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.019
That's a great definition. Can you imagine not
00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.539
knowing what a Wes Henderson movie was going
00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:07.379
to be like and then watching it for the first
00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:10.840
time as you're just like, what am I watching?
00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:14.340
I mean, I think he's one of those polarizing
00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:16.120
directors. I think people either love or hate
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.259
him too. I mean, you know, if you don't like
00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:22.850
him. I'm gonna question some stuff about your
00:11:22.850 --> 00:11:26.429
life, but you know, it's... I mean, it's art.
00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:29.049
It's up for interpretation. Everybody, you know,
00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:31.049
comes at it with their own personal experience
00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:33.649
and can interpret that how they see fit. But
00:11:33.649 --> 00:11:35.929
I really loved this movie in particular because
00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:40.289
it was, to me, it seemed like a real play with
00:11:40.289 --> 00:11:44.570
morality. Like, with the daughter being a nun
00:11:44.570 --> 00:11:51.159
and Benicio Teltoro plays this wealthy man that
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.039
maybe got his wealth in not so moral ways and
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.960
somehow survives several plane crashes, which
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.860
is hilarious and strange and a little magical,
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:08.230
there's a little superstitious magic to it. It's
00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:10.190
this relationship between him and his daughter
00:12:10.190 --> 00:12:13.009
where he's been basically estranged from her.
00:12:13.230 --> 00:12:15.129
She really wants nothing to do with him because
00:12:15.129 --> 00:12:17.210
she thinks he's a very corrupt individual and
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:19.409
she's become a nun and she's devoting her life
00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:22.470
to God. But then there's this play with like,
00:12:22.549 --> 00:12:27.350
well, maybe I can do good here as his heiress
00:12:27.350 --> 00:12:31.330
to his fortunes and his business and learn from
00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:33.149
him at the same time. So you go through this
00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:36.700
whole storyline that's obviously very wacky and
00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:41.600
crazy and super fun. Tom Hanks. Let's go to another
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.580
crazy storyline that's fun, and guess who is
00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:49.879
involved in this one? Benicio del Toro. One battle
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.340
after another, Paul Thomas Anderson, not Wes
00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:55.860
Anderson, another Anderson. This movie for me
00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:59.620
will probably, and this is why it says Sinners
00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:03.000
won't win the Picture of the Year if it's nominated.
00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:05.080
One battle after another is going to win Picture
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.600
of the Year. Leo, Krusty, there's going to be
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.620
some actors, supporting, best supporting actors
00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:15.080
in this as well that win. Could be Benicio himself.
00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:19.019
Could be Sean Penn. Could be Tiana Taylor. Could
00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:23.320
be Regina Hall. Bunch of people in here. Like
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.879
this movie for me, I even said, not very often,
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.720
and you said it too, it's hard to go to theaters.
00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:34.250
It's especially hard to go when the movie's three
00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:37.070
fucking hours long. Yeah, you know, I didn't
00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:39.809
get long So I had to wait for it to hit HBO Max
00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:43.970
But I did get it and this is the only movie I
00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:47.090
can remember being this long in the last couple
00:13:47.090 --> 00:13:50.190
of years That I sat and watched in one city.
00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:53.750
I could not get up. I didn't care Anything else
00:13:53.750 --> 00:13:55.629
was going on. I had to see the rest of this movie
00:13:55.629 --> 00:13:59.450
You know, it was it's wild. It's a wild ride
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.000
It's not actually what I expected either even
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.879
from watching the trailers Not what you expect.
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.360
So go check that one out HBO Max one battle after
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.299
another and mark my damn words right here Oscar
00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:15.980
all the way for this movie. Yeah Yeah, I mean
00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:20.480
I I'm one of those that The Academy Awards it's
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.679
a lot of politics that goes into all that you
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.100
never know But I do think it's more fun than
00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:29.019
the Super Bowl for me personally, because I like
00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:32.200
to sit and make my guesses, who's going to win,
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.240
what's going to happen. And you never know when
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.100
you watch the Academy Awards, what wild thing,
00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:39.379
like who's going to get slapped this year is
00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:43.259
going to happen. So I mean, you know, it is what
00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:44.980
it is. You take it with a grain of salt, but
00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:47.179
I love watching it. It's super fun. So I'm excited
00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:50.080
to see what comes up in those nominations this
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.159
year. What do you got? You got an Oscar winner
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.220
coming in there? You got one that you would put
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:57.899
in that category that you saw? Well, I don't
00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:01.580
know if I'm qualified to even try and guess which
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:03.600
movies of this past year. Although I like to
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.659
see what's nominated when that comes out and
00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:07.259
then go catch up and watch all the ones that
00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:09.779
are nominated and make sure I'm familiar with
00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:13.980
them. One I think should be on there is The Roses.
00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:18.419
That's what I watched recently on Hulu. The Roses,
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.919
Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. Also,
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.669
Kate McKinnon and Andy Samberg make appearances
00:15:26.669 --> 00:15:29.570
in this movie. They are fantastic. I love them.
00:15:30.049 --> 00:15:33.370
Okay, yeah. Director J. Rose. Oh, guess who's
00:15:33.370 --> 00:15:37.230
another awesome, amazing X -Files fan? Kate McKinnon.
00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:39.250
She dressed up like Scully for Halloween when
00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:42.549
she was young and so did I. We are kindred spirits.
00:15:43.269 --> 00:15:46.389
I love her. I feel like we would be best friends
00:15:46.389 --> 00:15:52.149
if we met. So, but this movie, The Roses, it's
00:15:52.149 --> 00:15:58.220
so realistic and also exaggerated all at the
00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:02.299
same time. A married couple moves to America.
00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:06.179
I think they meet in London and they live in
00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:08.320
America because they're both ambitious in their
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.259
careers and want to start a family. He's an architect.
00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:17.259
She's a chef. But it's kind of this long -term
00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:23.590
look at how that ambition and that working together
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:26.350
to make each of their dreams happen while raising
00:16:26.350 --> 00:16:30.590
a kid, raising a family. It kind of gets messy
00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:34.710
and emotionally tangled in resentment towards
00:16:34.710 --> 00:16:37.409
each other. They like this perfect couple. They
00:16:37.409 --> 00:16:39.690
really get along. They're super fun together.
00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:43.309
They seem really passionate. But over time, as
00:16:43.309 --> 00:16:45.389
circumstances happen that really aren't in their
00:16:45.389 --> 00:16:51.610
control, it breeds this sort of crazy ride that
00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:56.750
they go on this road to divorce, basically. Oh,
00:16:56.830 --> 00:16:59.909
gosh. But it's fantastic. Who's your standout
00:16:59.909 --> 00:17:02.950
from this movie here? Is it Cumberbatch himself,
00:17:02.950 --> 00:17:04.990
or is it somebody else that takes this? I mean,
00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:07.049
Benedict Cumberbatch is pretty great in almost
00:17:07.049 --> 00:17:08.829
everything that he does. Although we can't pronounce
00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:12.329
Penguin. Sorry, Benedict. Sorry for that. But
00:17:12.329 --> 00:17:17.890
you can't do it. But I will say this. Olivia
00:17:17.890 --> 00:17:21.710
Colman is my favorite. Of the two in this movie
00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:24.789
in particular. She's incredible. I mean, I really
00:17:24.789 --> 00:17:28.069
I watch it and I say she is hilariously funny
00:17:28.069 --> 00:17:32.369
So genuine her acting is so you completely forget.
00:17:32.369 --> 00:17:35.289
She's playing a character. She just is absolutely
00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:39.170
authentic Those are the best. Those are the best
00:17:39.170 --> 00:17:41.730
I gotta talk about a movie that I didn't see
00:17:41.730 --> 00:17:44.450
but it just popped in my mind and I know I need
00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:48.480
to Because we were talking about Oscars And I
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.339
think it'll get some Oscar love. And I'm talking
00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:54.839
about Netflix Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:59.019
Now, I watched maybe the first 10 minutes, 15
00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.900
minutes of this, and I could tell. I'm like,
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.500
I ain't ready for this right now. That's exactly
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:08.900
what I did. I was like, this needs its own time,
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.579
and I'm not ready for it. I did. I turned it
00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.920
on, and I was like, well, this is going to be
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.839
one of those. that's going to be an experience
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.859
that I need to revel in. And this ain't the time.
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.019
You know, that's how I felt. But I know I can
00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:31.539
tell that this is going to be a must -see, maybe
00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:34.700
more than one -time watch. I think it's a new
00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:37.160
spin on Frankenstein, or it's a retelling of
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.099
the story in Guillermo's way, which you've seen
00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:43.000
some Guillermo movies. I can only imagine. This
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.519
thing's going to be fucked up. Like, that's just...
00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:48.970
But you know what I was struck by is the imagery.
00:18:49.289 --> 00:18:50.990
And I was watching what made me want to watch
00:18:50.990 --> 00:18:55.950
it. And I haven't yet. But the comparisons that
00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:59.609
artists were pulling up of famous Renaissance
00:18:59.609 --> 00:19:02.769
paintings and moments in that movie. And I'm
00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:06.049
like, oh, it can't be a coincidence. That's too
00:19:06.049 --> 00:19:08.990
beautiful. And I think that's going to be the
00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:12.450
visuals of that movie are going to be what stands
00:19:12.450 --> 00:19:15.519
out. Yeah, just that opening scene. It was, like,
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.720
so realistic, where they were on the boat and
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.319
the fog. And, you know, it was, I could see.
00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:23.160
I was like, all right, this is, this is going
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.359
to be one. So yeah, I can't wait to get to that.
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.259
It was a long one, I think, too. And that's probably
00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:31.779
why I wasn't in the right frame of mind. It was
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.619
one of those nights. And I'm telling, and when
00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.099
I say that, I'm not saying anything negative
00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:39.460
about the movie. I'm talking negative about myself
00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:41.700
on that, because. I just wanted something on
00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:44.559
in the background and I knew this wasn't going
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.079
to be one of those where you just put on and
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.920
you can search your phone or do whatever you
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.000
want. No, no, no, no. You better lock in. It's
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.339
about to be a ride. You know, I can't wait to
00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:58.440
get to that one. So things deserve the respect
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.779
of your attention. And that brings up a good
00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:04.140
point because you said when things are streaming
00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:06.839
versus going to a theater like the olden days,
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.789
you go. see a movie and you had nothing to do
00:20:09.789 --> 00:20:12.329
but sit there and watch the movie start to finish.
00:20:12.730 --> 00:20:14.930
Now that we do it mostly streaming, I wonder
00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:18.710
how that impacts the difference between how we
00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:23.309
actually soak in the story. Because if we're
00:20:23.309 --> 00:20:25.230
doing it in sections, for example, we're like,
00:20:25.329 --> 00:20:26.470
all right, we don't really have time to watch
00:20:26.470 --> 00:20:27.890
this whole movie. I'm going to watch half of
00:20:27.890 --> 00:20:30.930
it now and half of it later. That kind of breaking
00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:35.109
it up, what impact does that have on how we feel
00:20:35.109 --> 00:20:41.079
about the movie or how it how it, we soak it
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.160
in. No, that's a very, no that's a great point
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.960
because here's a prime example is TV shows that
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.299
are weekly. If someone watches the show weekly,
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.680
it feels a lot slower than when you sit there
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.640
and you binge watch it. So you're seeing it in
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.619
those chunks, it may not be the 15 minute chunk
00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:03.980
like you might watch a movie, might be the 45
00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:07.720
minute episode every week and then wait. Seven
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.880
days to see another one. You got those gaps.
00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:14.720
You're only seeing it in chunks. It is a different
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.400
watch than when you binge watch all of it back
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.319
and back. You're going to process it differently.
00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:24.960
You're going to have more thoughts and predictions.
00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:30.019
And you might even go back and re -watch before
00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:33.380
the next part comes out. And you may see things
00:21:33.380 --> 00:21:36.839
that foreshadow later plot lines that you didn't
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.240
you wouldn't normally see. No, I see that. I
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.279
could get that. I could see that you don't see
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.460
that. What other movie did you have that stuck
00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:54.059
out? Just watched F1, Brad Pitt. I'm a race fan,
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.299
but I always watch the Indy 500 because I'm from
00:21:56.299 --> 00:22:01.140
Indianapolis. So I'm into that, but I don't usually
00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:04.319
watch NASCAR or other types. And now After watching
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.640
this movie, I am really interested in F1 because
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.500
I was like, wait a second. I didn't know this
00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:15.960
is what it was. I didn't understand teams. I
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.380
didn't understand what everybody's role was in
00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:23.180
getting these races done and winning. Incredible.
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.119
Not only do they have teams of drivers on the
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.680
track, they got a team of people behind. They
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.700
got the highest technology you've ever seen.
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.319
doing crazy stuff with his car. I'm right there
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.500
with you. I put that movie on late at night,
00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:42.640
and it was one that I was like, yep, I'm going
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.900
to lock in. Actually, I turned it off and went
00:22:45.900 --> 00:22:50.319
to the big TV. I got a nice theater room. I was
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.799
like, this is going to have to be one I watch
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.460
in here with a surround sound. Love it. Thought
00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:59.640
Brad Pitt crushed it. I'm kind of glad they didn't
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.579
make him. Win every damn race. It was like it
00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:06.799
was messy. It was ugly how he Helped get stuff
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.619
done, but that's kind of what you would expect.
00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:10.480
You wouldn't expect some guy to come in there
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.460
with these other these are Athletes these guys
00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:18.319
driving those cars are freaking athletes to be
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.400
able to react in that Amount of time and do that
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.640
like I wouldn't expect some guy that never did
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.920
it before to come in and whip everybody's ass
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.900
Uh -uh didn't happen here They did a great job
00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:32.119
of being able to tell that story and make us
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.599
interested. That's a plot device by Apple there,
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.660
because next season, F1 comes to Apple. So you'll
00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:46.299
get to see some of these races. Yeah. I'm excited
00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:48.819
about it too, because I watch NASCAR. I've been
00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:52.920
to NASCAR races. I used to work for NASCAR and
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.299
run some of the races for them in radio. I never
00:23:57.299 --> 00:24:01.700
looked at f1 it was f1 was the european racing
00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:04.819
and then you know yeah nascar is the south and
00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:08.240
this and that but i think this is a incredible
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.839
sport these guys are legitimate athletes like
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.980
to be able to i mean that yeah don't get me started
00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:18.299
i want to get an f1 car i think that'd be fun
00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:20.799
yeah i think the movie did an excellent job of
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:23.940
i mean and and just the the logistics of putting
00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:28.259
a movie together like that that um I think they
00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:31.380
did an excellent job of the special effects.
00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:34.960
If anybody was going to win an Oscar for that,
00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:38.039
this movie might do really well. I don't know.
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.619
And again, I'm not qualified. Honestly, I don't
00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:43.380
think there was a lot of special effects involved.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.500
I think it was real. I mean, that still counts
00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:48.559
as special effects. But I don't think it was
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.759
CGI. I think they were really out there. I mean,
00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:55.740
they did say Brad Pitt actually got in. to F1
00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:59.319
cars and races, and no one actually knew he was
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:01.880
out there. So they swapped out their drivers.
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.920
So he was really racing at some point in this
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.480
process. I think he really learned how to do
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.880
all this stuff. That was very cool to me. I'm
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.839
definitely going to be watching F1, the racing
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.750
when it comes on. It's going to be fun. Yeah,
00:25:17.769 --> 00:25:19.670
it makes you appreciate it. All the strategy
00:25:19.670 --> 00:25:22.730
and planning and every part of the team that
00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:26.349
went into each race and the car, the engineering
00:25:26.349 --> 00:25:30.150
of the car, and they showed that. I was really
00:25:30.150 --> 00:25:32.109
fascinated. I was really into it, but it was
00:25:32.109 --> 00:25:36.309
also just a great movie. What's your husband
00:25:36.309 --> 00:25:37.990
Matt? Did he watch it? What did he think about
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:41.099
it? He's a car guy, right? Oh, yeah, he loved
00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:43.640
it. In fact, he was like, you know, of all the
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.339
races and all of the different circuits that
00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:48.700
you can race, F1, if you win F1, it's like the
00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:50.880
top of the top. It's the cream of the crop races.
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:57.019
So. I mean, it's incredible how they react that
00:25:57.019 --> 00:26:00.180
fast. Like it's I know we can't do it. We're
00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:02.819
normal. We're normal. I like to say I'm pretty
00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:06.000
good at Mario Kart, but truthfully, I have all
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.400
the little assists going on on the Mario Kart
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.079
to kind of like bowling with bumpers, so I'm
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.519
not really as good as I think I am. Let's talk
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.880
about some of the 2026 movies that I'm looking
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.940
forward to. Yeah. We got it. Did you know that
00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:23.019
Christopher Nolan's dropping a hit this year?
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.960
I must call it a hit already. The Odyssey, that's
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.240
coming out. I can't wait for that. Yeah. They
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.980
were reading a book in high school and all that,
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.799
and I actually enjoyed that one. So I can't wait
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:38.869
to see Odysseus' story. Especially from Christopher
00:26:38.869 --> 00:26:42.269
Nolan. He's probably up there with my top tier.
00:26:42.990 --> 00:26:47.890
He's definitely an S plus tier director. And
00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:50.109
a stellar. I mean, you got all these movies that
00:26:50.109 --> 00:26:52.509
he's put so much work into. I don't see this
00:26:52.509 --> 00:26:55.029
being any less. And I'm really hyped up about
00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:57.890
it. But what do you think? What do you got a
00:26:57.890 --> 00:27:03.049
2026 list of movies you're ready to see? There
00:27:03.049 --> 00:27:07.299
seems to be a I don't know much about it, but
00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:11.319
the sequel to Devil Wears Prada. It is. The Devil
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.160
Wears Prada 2. And I'm interested to see what
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:19.420
that is and what that looks like. Man. That's
00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:21.140
going to be a hyped up sequel. People begin,
00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:24.559
yeah, go ahead. Just a lot of the things that,
00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:27.140
probably a lot of people listening right now,
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.180
you know, we're just average Joes like everybody.
00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:34.740
Because I haven't gone to the theaters, that's
00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:36.900
where I see all the trailers for the new movies
00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:39.000
coming out. So I saw the trailer for The Odyssey.
00:27:39.019 --> 00:27:41.180
I was really excited about that. That looks really
00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:45.279
kind of dark almost. It does. It does. I'm very
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.279
excited about that. But I haven't seen what's
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.740
coming up next so much as I have all of these
00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:54.019
movies that came out in 2025 that I haven't seen
00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:56.099
yet because I've been waiting for them to come
00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:58.480
out on streaming. What are you looking forward
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.420
to seeing? Well, one of the ones that I thought
00:28:01.420 --> 00:28:05.099
would be a super fun movie to see is Facom Hall.
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.859
It's like a parody of a Downton Abbey period
00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:13.200
pieces type, but it's a comedy. I keep seeing
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.640
the trailers pop up and I'm like, I got to see
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.440
that somewhere when it's available. When it comes
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.880
into my view, I'm going to see that one. I think
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.279
that counts for 2026. I think that still counts.
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.980
It's 2026 in my world, in the world of ketchup
00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:32.599
and getting caught up on all those great movies
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:35.819
that came out already, right? The Woman in Cabin
00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:39.539
10 looks really good. I want to see that. The
00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:43.420
Wake Up Dead Man Knives Out movie I still haven't
00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:47.940
seen, but I love the Knives Out mystery movies.
00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:51.960
My husband keeps bringing up Age of Disclosure.
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:55.420
There you go. See, maybe me and Matt should sit
00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:57.420
and watch that one together. Maybe that's me
00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:59.680
and Matt, because you know how I feel about the
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.759
age of Disclosure? And Disclosure is coming out
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.940
in 2026. That's the movie. Steven Spielberg,
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.900
that's going to be, woo. Coincidence? I think
00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:14.980
not. That one's been on my mind. I really got
00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:18.819
to see the age of Disclosure, and I want to see
00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:22.240
Disclosure, the movie. You got it. You got another
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.079
huge sequel coming out that I know Devil Wears
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.259
Prada 2 people got hyped up about, but Avengers
00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:34.259
Doomsday? Oh, yep. I saw that. People are going
00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:37.339
to lose their minds. Some trailers have already
00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:39.720
dropped. We saw Steve Rogers come back already.
00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:42.259
It's going to be, they're going to reset some
00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:45.200
of the bullshit that Marvel has pulled off in
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.640
the last couple of years and get it back in line.
00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:51.480
I fell off of Marvel for a little bit. I was
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.400
like, man, there's too many movies coming out.
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:58.000
Yeah, I could see that. Nowhere near the comic
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.500
book nerd type person to have been deep dive
00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:04.380
into all of that. But I do think it's fascinating
00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:07.819
to try to watch all the Avengers movies in they
00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:11.380
have both release date order or chronological
00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:14.440
order as far as where they. when they take place.
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:16.759
So I think that's fascinating. And maybe I'll
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:18.240
have to do that to get ready for this new movie
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.380
coming out. You're going to have to. Ketchup,
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.759
movie marathon. I think there's a Spider -Man
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.019
movie coming out also. Another Spider -Man will
00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:28.380
be dropping. Have to see that with the kids.
00:30:28.380 --> 00:30:31.500
That's in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, that'll
00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:34.599
be in the Marvel Universe. There's another Masters
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.319
of the Universe. There's a He -Man movie dropping
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:39.140
this year. I can't wait for that. I'm a He -Man
00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:42.769
fan. Skeletal World. Yeah. Yeah, they're very
00:30:42.769 --> 00:30:44.869
much taking our generation and they're going
00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:48.150
like, what did they watch on TV when they were
00:30:48.150 --> 00:30:51.950
this age that we can capitalize on now as their
00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:54.089
adults? Or could it just make a movie out of
00:30:54.089 --> 00:30:57.930
it? Or what movie did they watch? Like Scream
00:30:57.930 --> 00:31:01.690
7 coming out in 2026, you know? Sure, they'll
00:31:01.690 --> 00:31:03.750
get me with that. I love Scream. I love the Scream
00:31:03.750 --> 00:31:07.680
series. You know, a good friend of mine... She
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.579
had her 13 -year -old just turned 13 and is a
00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:14.740
big fan of Scream. So she had David Arquette
00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:18.119
send her a happy birthday video. I saw that.
00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:20.339
I know who you're talking about. I saw that was
00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:22.559
awesome. David Arquette out there doing things.
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.099
If you're listening, David, thank you so much
00:31:25.099 --> 00:31:28.359
for that. It made her birthday. She loved it.
00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:30.680
He's a good human being. That's all I've ever
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.779
heard. I can't say nothing bad about him. Good
00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:37.460
human being. WCW world champion at one time,
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.039
wrestling champion. People hate that. They hate
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.279
that he was a champion, but it still gets talked
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.279
about. So it's OK. That's what wrestling is.
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:48.799
You do stuff to let people talk about it. David
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:50.900
Arquette was the worst world champion of all
00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:53.779
time. It's better than being no world champion
00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:56.559
of all time, if you ask me. David Arquette, I
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.500
loved it. I thought it was great. Let me talk
00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:00.539
about some other movies that are coming out.
00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:03.660
Toy Story 5 there's another sequel playing off
00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:07.099
of us. I was gonna mention that too. Yeah, I
00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:11.339
I'm a little curious about that one Because I'm
00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:14.380
like, wait, did we not wrap up that story a couple
00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:18.680
of times? But you know what? I'm not mad about
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.180
it. I've loved everyone that's come out even
00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:24.980
when I think there's no more story to tell about
00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:29.430
Woody and Buzz We get another movie, and it makes
00:32:29.430 --> 00:32:33.150
me cry, and it's fantastic. So we'll keep doing
00:32:33.150 --> 00:32:37.150
this. We're good. Getting lots of sequels, prequels.
00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:41.170
You got another Hunger Games movie coming out,
00:32:42.269 --> 00:32:44.369
another Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers
00:32:44.369 --> 00:32:48.410
Galaxies coming out. You got a new Exorcist movie
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:50.269
coming out, too. The Exorcist Deceiver. I was
00:32:50.269 --> 00:32:52.829
just going to say, I'm like, did you see the
00:32:52.829 --> 00:32:55.900
Exorcist movie? That one's going to be fire right
00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:57.119
there. Now, who's going to be in that thing?
00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:59.559
Do we know anybody that's? It's a Mike Flanagan
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.160
film, I think, isn't it? Oh, my gosh. I love
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.099
Mike Flanagan. This is the Mike Flanagan Scarlett
00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:08.200
Johansson exorcist film that's coming out. That's
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:11.759
going to be the one. That's going to be fun right
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:15.019
there. We do like Mike Flanagan. I love Mike
00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:18.000
Flanagan. I do. What other movie? What other?
00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:19.539
What else you got out there that you need to
00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:21.279
see or you're looking forward to? Because I think
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.529
I've said all of them. They don't have many more
00:33:23.529 --> 00:33:26.670
to say, so. Yeah, I'm going to have to get myself
00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:30.470
to the theater or get myself online and run through
00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:32.890
some trailers and really search it out what's
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:37.049
coming up. I do have two other plugs for my favorites
00:33:37.049 --> 00:33:39.569
this year. So for those who are looking for something
00:33:39.569 --> 00:33:42.190
to watch and want to catch up, I'm going to say
00:33:42.190 --> 00:33:44.789
two documentaries that really impacted me this
00:33:44.789 --> 00:33:48.769
year. Come See Me in the Good Light on Apple
00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:53.079
about the... The Life and Dying of Andrea Gibson,
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.220
the poetry poet. Fantastic. Absolutely changes
00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:01.859
my view of life and dying and everything and
00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:04.559
it's beautiful and you'll cry and you'll cry
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.299
in the best way and it's wonderful. So come see
00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:09.780
me in the good light, go see that. In fact, I
00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:13.539
might do a separate episode just all about that
00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:17.760
and a special bonus episode, but we'll tease
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.420
that later. And the other one was Will and Harper.
00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:22.179
I don't know if it came out this year. It might
00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:24.619
have come out last year. But Will and Harper's
00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:29.679
on Netflix. Will Ferrell and his friend Harper,
00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:32.539
who was a friend of his at SNL, is a fellow writer
00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:35.460
who came out as trans. And they do this road
00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:37.780
trip across the country to rekindle their friendship
00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:40.239
and to kind of see what it means to be friends
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:45.599
now that their identity is different than it
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.320
was when they started their friendship, right?
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.719
Yes. That was an incredibly moving story and
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.380
I absolutely loved it and I recommend it to everybody
00:34:53.380 --> 00:34:59.980
because when you see their friendship, how it's
00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:03.840
evolved and also grown and become more vulnerable
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:08.460
and what does it mean to have a man decide he
00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:12.599
can be friends with a woman even when he knew
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:16.929
her as a man previously? Like, how does that
00:35:16.929 --> 00:35:20.750
change how he, Will Ferrell, feels about her?
00:35:21.130 --> 00:35:23.309
And like, can they still be friends? Can they
00:35:23.309 --> 00:35:25.030
still relate to each other? Do they still have
00:35:25.030 --> 00:35:27.070
enough in common? What does that look like? What
00:35:27.070 --> 00:35:29.670
does that feel like? And it just made me think,
00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:32.489
you know what, why does it have to be a trans
00:35:32.489 --> 00:35:35.969
woman? Why can't it just be people? Like, why
00:35:35.969 --> 00:35:38.730
can't people just decide that they have things
00:35:38.730 --> 00:35:41.090
in common and can be friends with another person?
00:35:41.590 --> 00:35:44.619
So it asks all those really like... intriguing
00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:48.260
questions that I loved. Good. Good. It should.
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.980
And made me love Will Ferrell even more. Yeah.
00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:53.019
It really should. And you got it right right
00:35:53.019 --> 00:35:56.400
there. Like, we're all one. And I didn't get
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.679
the chance to see that yet, but I know that from
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.840
what I saw from that show was beautiful. It was
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.539
a great story. And how things should be. How
00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:11.239
things should be is what it is. You know, I love
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.929
it. I can't wait to see. all these movies and
00:36:13.929 --> 00:36:17.250
more in 2026. Parallel Frequencies, Just Plain,
00:36:17.349 --> 00:36:19.510
and Coco. Until next time, we'll see you guys.
