The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals. She's not a good person, but either is he. Digging the dirt. Is she a diva?

Yes. And finding out what's going on behind the scenes. Yelling at cast members. Yes. It was a script. No. His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again.

This is NT. Time now for our weekly toll call to America. And live in Hollywood, NT is with us. Alec Baldwin about to go to trial for the accidental shooting on his film set, NT. Yeah, he hasn't actually, I mean, for this, he hasn't been to trial. So for everybody who doesn't know, there was a shooting October of 21 on the movie set of Rust. Alec Baldwin had a gun in his hand. He says that he didn't pull the trigger. He just cocked the hammer. There was a live round in the chamber and it ended up

killing Helena Hutchins, who's the cinematographer on it. So that's been October 21. We're now in January 23. Finally, last week, the district attorney for this town in New Mexico, where the shooting occurred, decided to indict Alec Baldwin and also a woman by the name of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who is the armor on the movie, and then another gentleman who was an assistant director who has pleaded guilty to a reckless endangerment charge which is what i thought that alec would probably be charged with i thought that involuntary manslaughter might be a little bit um of a reach i mean that's what the

prosecutor went with it's something that the maximum sentence that he could get is 18 months in jail i was just about to ask is this is prison time actually on the horizon for him? I doubt it. First of all, he'd have to be convicted. Second of all, a judge would have to say, okay, well, you need some time in jail. Because the one who pleaded guilty, they got a suspended sentence and six months of probation. I would imagine Alec would probably get the same thing. And again, like I said, they have to find him guilty first.

Now, his acting career, is that done for? Because it's hard to watch someone like Alec and maybe even Will Smith and not think about the previous incidents. As far as his career being boxed off as poison, I mean, he was just given an award by some film festival a couple of months ago for lifetime achievement. So again, Kevin Spacey was also given a lifetime of months ago for lifetime achievement. So, again, Kevin Spacey was also given a lifetime achievement

award last week in Italy. So, you know, you never know in Hollywood. If somebody thinks they're going to make a buck, then Alec will keep working. Well, mate, next thing you know, Weinstein's out. He's getting another Academy Award, mate. Sad situation, that's for sure. Let's go to a bit of a happier one.

Megan, the movie about the... Is it a happier movie? Well, it's for sure. Let's go to a bit of a happier one. Megan, the movie about the... Is it a happier movie? Well, it's not a happier movie, but it's a happier story. The movie that was actually filmed in New Zealand about the scary killer robot, the robot toy. It seems to be doing really well overseas in America. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm sure there'll be, you know, like 18

sequels to it. New Zealand director, New Zealand actress, Alison Williams, who's kind of got a streak going on with horror movies right now, Get Out, and then Megan. And I think what was brilliant was the New Zealand director who decided one day when he found out that the actress who plays the girl could dance and said, you know what I want to do is I want to just take a day and I want you just to film a whole bunch of dances. And then they did that.

And then that became the whole marketing thing, which led to TikTok, which led to people wanting to go see it. So I think that that was a brilliant move because it was not conceived to have any kind of dance scenes or anything like that. Jeez, once you blow up on the talk, it's all good. Did you know, Andy, we actually know Gerard, the director. He was like, oh oh i've done this

strange little movie about this weird little doll robot he's like i don't know how it's gonna go but it's blowing because it was made for 12 mil and it's pulled in over 130 already yeah well that's what you want horror movies to do right the first horror movies each time are made for pittance whether it's like blair witch project or you know paranormal activity or anything like that they're made for a very little amount of money and then they make a ton of money horror is the one place where you can just like roll the dice and you could just say you know we'll probably get our money back yes it's amazing news for gerard i'm very happy for him and his mortgage repayments hey enti thank you very much for your time we'll catch you next week hey you too you guys
