Download and registration required. So stupid. So stupid. Sometimes I don't even know what the hell I'm doing. Hey, everybody, what's going on? Nice to see you on this Thursday. Thank you for joining us. You're a good show today, man.

We've got Roxy and Brett back in the house. I started watching Severance. I'm going to talk about that. Watched Willow. I'm going to talk about that. Brett watched Guardians, Christmas special, holiday special. We're going to talk about that.

Sam Jackson had some retorts to Quentin Tarantinos. comments about Marvel, I guess Marvel actors not being the draw. I don't know what it was. He said something about Marvel characters and then it seems like always there's some prominent filmmaker that's something about superhero and movies and then the actors retort. Well, that's happening again. It's happening with Tarantino and his buddy.

Hey, bring your buddy. And what else? Well, Roxy's going to do her TV picks. She got a bunch of stuff. I was talking about that Wednesday show. I was surprised because she sends me a list. And I said, why isn't Wednesday on there? It's literally the first thing she said.

It says Wednesday, but I realize that we tape on Wednesday, so I thought she met Wednesday. But that's all the stuff that goes on in my head. How about you guys? I'm glad that it's all working out for you. That's it. What else you got to do? Well, I think you should subscribe to the channel. If you haven't done that already, show a little class, will you?

Speaking of that. Speaking of that, show a little and get yourself a shirt, get yourself a top gun guy shirt. How about that? The top gun guy? Who? The top gun guy? Yeah, the top gun guy. Get yourself a shirt there, capes and cows, big thing, Sith Council.

Yes, Roxy Sith Council is still annihilating the big thing. I'm sorry. Patreon. Patreon's been great. Patreon yesterday I did my first, I did an actual podcast with one of the patrons. There's a tier that we do where you offer, you can do a podcast with me, and we did a full podcast. Wow. Yeah, it's called On With, and I was on with one of the patrons, and it was a really, it was great.

It was a really fun time. I had a blast. All right. let's do it let's get into the show it's me it's you it's everybody else a willow we're going to talk about willow today yeah we'll talk about willow absolutely we're going to talk about will but before we do that i also want to talk about the big thing great that's the show why won't bubbly sponsor us why won't bubbly sponsor us oh bubbly do shubly doubly do fleetingly flea he's ahead Roxy Roxy Rootty-Doo.

Do you like my songs, Roxy? Yes, Christian. Thank you. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's okay, though. I do that to my, I do that all the time at home. I'll sing something really stupid.

I go, you like that song? Yeah. My five-year-old doesn't even look up, goes, no. She's, anyway, I took the old one, old one. He took the old one to the Willow premiere last night, or two nights ago, I guess, by the time his hairs. I'll tell you, I put my review out about it. And what I told you outside is the same thing.

I'll tell everybody here too. The first 15 minutes, brutal. C.W. acting. Like, it's like you have modern acting in this fantasy world. Hey, we need to get the prince down to the thing. Yeah, sure, where you got to go? Where should I go? There's this line that drives me nuts.

And I've quoted it so many times. I hate it. It's so stupid. Hey, we're supposed to get married. That's weird. Oh, jeez. I went, oh my God, what am I watching? It does get better, though.

It gets significantly better, and I'm so curious. I think at this point when I'm, as I, this show airs, I'll be looking at the comments to see what everybody thinks. But I don't know. Roxy, you didn't really heard much about it, huh? No, not really. Who's the show for? I would say it's definitely geared towards the fans of the,

I wasn't sure at first if it was geared towards the fans of the original movie, and it is. It hits nostalgia points. It hits that fantasy button, but it takes about 15 minutes to really, find its voice and by the second episode, you're locked in as a fantasy fan and a fan of the first movie. So you think it's more for old fans than new fans?

No, because I do think that it's, I think that they were trying to do what Cobra Kai did. And that's get a new younger audience to combine with the older, cast in this nostalgic feel. Because Warwick Davis, once he shows up, he steals the show. And as he should, it's called Willow.

But the kids are really where they're putting everything into in this new generation. And I only really thought that the one in the first 15 minutes anyway, the one who stood out is the same actress who plays Infinez and she was in, um, uh, Winner Soul, Falcon and Winter Soldier. She's fantastic. She's great.

I'll get her name. You let Vivi watch, uh, the Cobur Kai show? Not yet. Okay. Because that, I would think that that would be more agro than this show. Um, more adult. I mean, there's more cursing in Cobre. Rikai.

Islands. Yeah, but there's a lot of violence in Willow. Is there? Yeah, it's like, there's fights and she had to cover her eyes a couple of times because it was a little scary, but, but she, but she dug it. I mean, she's old enough now, but pride them right open and said, you watch. You watch this like Clockwork Orange. Yeah.

Yeah. We watched Uncle Buck the other night with her. Oh, no way. It's weird. It's listed as rated R on Amazon. It's not rated R. It's a PG movie. But it was, but yeah, she's like, dad, it's rated R.

I can't watch Uncle Buck. And I'm like, you can watch it. Because we started watching the first vacation a couple of, like a year ago. And that's right at R. Like, we shut it off because she's, because there are a couple things that happen. She's like, is this appropriate? And I'm like, yeah, it's fine. And then they pull up to the, have you ever seen a vacation in the first time?

And they pull up to the, they're in the bad neighborhood. And he looks up and he says, hey, can you tell me where to get any? And kind of looks at me and goes, fuck you, mama. And my daughter looks at me and goes, I don't know. And I said, yeah, I'll probably have to turn it off. But it was. Roll them up. Roll them up.

What's the deal with R-rated movies and kids? You let them kind of make the choice and when they're ready. Yeah, that's how you do it. Yeah, no. You go like, you're four. You decide. I was watching R-A-R-A-Movies when I was about four. So different time.

Yeah, totally. Different time. Because even for you in the 90s, like a different time. 80s, we were watching everything. Didn't matter. No, I think my wife said she watched the first Friday of the 13th when she was like seven or eight. Yeah.

And like watching, if my. like Vivy now, if she stumbled upon Friday the 13th now at 11, she would be traumatized. Really? Yeah. I watched fast times at Ridgemont High. That was my first. I mean, a lot of times that's got some stuff in there. What's happening?

It does, right. And you don't really fully grasp what's going on until later on. But it's. And I turned out fine. Yeah. Perfect. I like you a lot. I think you're a good person.

Yeah. I'm fine. Oh, you're right. You're just like twitching. But you, by the way. You came, you're coming back from like being with family and stuff. And it's just a total. Yeah.

L.A. is fucking twatts. You're like, hey, everybody, I'm back. And everybody's like, give me a latte. It's just, uh, I can't possibly explain how much I'm liked in Boston and how much I'm disliked in L. that's not true. No, no.

Disliked? By strangers. By strangers. Yeah. Like, it's your diamond dust. I walk into a donkey's back home. Or like anywhere.

Dunkeys is not a donkey shop. It's a dunk in donuts. And people like me. Like they might be dicks about it because they're Bostonians. But you can just tell like they like my energy. I walk in here and it's just like people are thrown by me. Do you get hit on left and right in Boston? Oh yeah.

I get hit on in L.A. too, but by like. By turds. Yeah. Oh my God. Oh my God. Like I can't. It's so different. And then when I'm back home, everyone loves me.

Yeah. It sounds so pompous. But like people just love. Like who I am. Do you want to move back? No. Yeah. Because I have a dream and I guess I'm just going to keep fucking living it.

Living the dream. Until you wind up like us. Yeah. We found our soulmates. But then it's like we gave up on the dream. I just can't believe that we don't get to live life twice. If I was able to live life twice, one of my lives, I would have just stayed there because it's just so good there. Yeah.

And those are my people and it's my place and my people and my people and my place. And out here, it's just like, what's happening? I'll tell you what, though. I don't know about this succumbing to the idea that you only live once. I don't know about it because I know you, I know you, I know you feel, I know you feel that the lights go off. The lights go off. Worm. Worm food.

You just feel like worm food. I've been having really vivid dreams lately, man. Really vivid dreams. And I can't remember all of them, but I remember as they're going through, I'm like, when I wake up from them, like in the middle of the night. I'm like, I feel like I'm sucked into another galaxy. You just reminded me something. I'm telling me, it's weird. I woke up so pissed off at you one morning.

Me? Yeah, you shot a film therapy with somebody else in my dream. I'm like, you motherfucker. I like, I woke up, you know when like your wife cheats on you in your dream or something like that? That was one of these things. You should have called me and said, did you show them? Because Josh Robert Thompson wrote me. He said he really liked that segment.

I was maybe I was doing something like him. But you know what's funny is that that segment is one of my favorite things that I think I've ever done. It's the couch thing? It's the couch. We've done two of them now. They've both eaten shit. They've both eaten shit. Nobody clicks on the motherfuckers.

And everybody who watches them loves them. Yeah. Everyone. I haven't seen the, that's one few things I've seen the not shitty comments about. But nobody's fucking clicking on. I changed the thumbnail to the Andor one. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.

I showed it on, I mean, I showed it on Sith Council. And I see more people saw it because it was on Sith Council. But... How long are they? Four minutes. Yeah. Five minutes. And it's there...

People didn't know what they were. Somebody said, oh, I thought it was a clip from Sith Council, so I didn't click on it. I'm like, all, let me change the thumbnail now. So I changed the thumbnail. So nobody fucking clicked on it. And I'm so proud of it because both of them are so good. Don't worry. I'm not canceling it again.

It's really good. Yeah, it's one of those things where I'm just like, I mean, it's, we got to figure out the algorithm or the, I mean, I know that my face doesn't sell things. So, you know, like, maybe it's a, the thumbnail has got to be... premise? The last one or in general? In general. It's basically Brett on the couch and I'm the therapist and speaking to someone who

hasn't watched it. I saw a picture. That's fine. And I'm the therapist and we set it up to where, but it's the comedic bit up top of like, hey, why are you here? He's like, Doc, I got this whole thing. But then he gives like an actual review or an actual, like with the last one we did, I was like, what's your, what's wrong?

And he's like, I'm just, I'm not confident enough that Tony Gilroy is going to bring Cassie and Andrew and. K2SO and to Canon the correct way. And then we go into, he does this whole thing, his whole voiceover of explaining actually what happens in canon to explain to people and to see if it's actually going to happen in the show. And then it ends with a comedic bit and that's it. But people like this is such a unique way to do a review.

This is such a new way to do this. And then it's got like the first one has like, I think Brett's review that he did on Fabelman's is like $6,000. Yeah. And then we, well. Is that a Photoshop image? Which one? Oh, of Spielberg.

So, so, Brett, Brett said it. I got, I got hit with it too, and I'll tell you why you can figure it out. If I show you, if you go. Yes. If I were to crop that I would. Don't say anything. But I'm going to show Roxy, and she'll know immediately. So Brett posted a picture of Stephen Spielberg and him.

And he said, and Brett sent it to me. He goes, look. Spielberg was a fan of the root. I said, what the hell? And I looked at it. And then, weird is it? So here's the picture. And Roxy, what I want you to do.

is look at his hands. See his hands? Married? Oh, actually, they're wax. Yeah. Those are wax hands. Also, there's Denzel Washington in the background. Are you trying to me to step off.

Oh, yeah. There's Denzel. There's a... Oh, yeah. Who's that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't think his hands look wax.

Dude, I'm telling you, that place is impressive. You don't think his hands look waxed? No, I think they look old man. Yeah. Really? That's what Poppo's hands look like. I kind of always got like a sheen. But Pup was like 98 years old.

Yeah. This guy's, I mean, I mean, that's good. That's a, the wax cream is great. I used to date this guy that looked identical to him.

Oh my God, identical. Is it young him or? We actually, yeah, to young him. We actually didn't talk for a long time for no reason other than I think I almost choked him one time.

Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, but I'll get back to that part. Um, but he,

sent me an email the other day. I haven't heard from him like seven years because he saw a license plate that said Sky Roxy and he was like is this you in your sister's car? And I was like, oh, well, I guess he doesn't hate me. Why did you choke him? I didn't mean to. Almost. We were hooking up one time and we never had sex but we were like getting hot and heavy and I had this bullet necklace. Oh, I feel like you told me this story. I did this talk about this. There was this bullet on me and I was like on top of him and he like choked on the bullet. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it was not okay.

And that was the last we spoke. I'm not kidding. It's not your fault though. I didn't think so either, but it was bad. He was like, eh, eh, I think he was embarrassed. Maybe, yeah, we never saw it again. I mean, except for when she said choke on this bullet, you little bitch. Bitch ass.

Yeah, no, it was embarrassing. The whole thing was fucking, like, uncomfortable and embarrassing. What would you do if you're fooling around with a girl and she shoved the bullet in in your mouth and called you a bitch-ass trick? Would you, would you be, would you go back for another round if you got off? I think so, right? Oh, yeah, I think so. If he didn't choke and die.

If he didn't choke and die and it was good, like, would you go back? Couldn't replicate that again, though. You'd be like, nah, you better come up a different one. You mean a little bitchy-ass trick. I've never used that one. You can tell. We got to slap me in the balls with a ruler. He looked, I have to show you guys a picture.

He looks identical to him. He does? Yeah, and he's a director. Okay, well, you've got to send the picture. I promise we'll talk about things today. But I also wanted to show. I don't know yet, but I want to also tell Roxy, you know, because what I haven't shown Roxy is the,

there's a clip, Rox, of, you know, I do the Richard character that I've been doing forever. Yeah. So my buddy sent me actual audio from my buddy Richard, and a few of my friends listened to it and never heard before, and Kate heard it and said, that's a, yeah, I send it to you, right? Yeah, yeah. And it said that it was a dead-on impression,

and my best impression. So I want to hear, I want to see if Roxy and the audience thinks, and now that they can actually have a reference to what Richard really sounds like if my impression is, is good. All right, so, Roxy, here is this is the video. Introduce it in your Richard voice. All right, listen, Roxy, I've got to be honest with you. Me and Christian, we were hanging out by the diner,

and the next thing I know I went to the crapshoot and I bought myself a chocolate milk and was delicious. Alright, here, this is really, Richard. You'll be able to hear it in a second. Nobody can really see this. Just hear it. I knew I shouldn't have brought you, Mark. I knew it.

How's everyone feeling? Yeah? What are you throwing? Come here, Rachel, take your hand off. Down? Yeah, right here. Come on, let's go to a bar and a half. Down for a Christian?

enough money I would. I got money for you. I'm sure I got to pay it back too. Punk. You're a punk. You're a punk. I got money for you. Is he talking to you?

Yeah. That was me holding the camera. First of all, you sound so different. Oh, back then? Oh, my God. So different. Second of all, this looked like I'm not fucking with you, a movie.

It looked like you. This was like a scene from a movie. I know these guys. Right. Like, I love these. guys your impression is dead accurate so i'm telling you like i was like and i tried to call him i was i said hey man i've been doing i haven't talked to him in years i'm doing oppression of you i got to get you i got to get you i got to get you on a show he didn't won't respond to me i was like

really close with them too i just haven't talked to him but but um that was an amazing video have you have you seen mid 90s yes the 824 yeah the one with joan hill yeah i had that kid on one-on-one with christian he was great yeah this that reminded me of that like some kind of Yeah, I can't show the footage for the people involved in it, obviously. But, like, it wasn't anything bad in it, but I just, I don't know if they want to be. No, they're just, like, all around a table, drinking, throwing a football or, like, whatever. Hey, listen. You know, got to be honest, we hear, Murph.

Remember I told you that story about him shitting in the helmet? Murph was the one sitting on the one like this. He was amazing. He's shitting the helmet. So if anybody you ever wanted a know for, it was, it was an accurate reputation. I got money for you. I got money for me. Mrs. Garrett, we're going to be down at the slots.

I couldn't wait. That sounded like sluts. Well, it wasn't. Maybe if your mind wasn't in the gutting, you went choking people of bullets. Not on purpose. Not on purpose. What's your date in life fight at the moment?

Rocks? Doa? Yeah, what happened? So you had some update. So I got on hinge. You're on hinged? I got on hinge. We knew that.

You know what hinges or you don't know what that is? You heard of it? I was calling this singer, Dupa Leapa. You think I know what hinge is? No, you know. know what hinge is, but I can't remember if that was, uh, Dupa Leapleaps. Because I, that's stuck with me in a way that I don't think you intended.

No, everybody comments on my shit, Dupa, Dupa Leap, dopa. Oh, no, it's your, when a goldfish over there, isn't it? I'm cool with it. Um, Dupa Leaps. I thought Hinge was more of the hookup site. No, that's Tinder. Oh, okay. So what's Hinge?

Hinge. I don't know if I want to know. Is it a dating app? No. I'm not good at this shit. Like, I think that I look on. paper not like who I am in my soul because like I think I look like this like blonde callie girl now and then like I start talking to people and they're fucking thrown and like anybody who likes me

that's why the Boston people love you and then everybody else is like whoa so you just you just nailed why Boston people love you yeah yeah because you're Boston thrown through yeah but you look like California chick totally and so they're just thrown like this one guy this week okay so we've been talking the whole time I was home Which, again, I'm a really good texter, like, in terms of, I'm terrible. I'm, like, I know how to be flirty and fun and whatever it was. But we're going back and forth. And then finally, I try to avoid giving my Instagram.

I try to avoid saying what I do because I'm really, it's like, whatever. So finally, he asks me for, I'll actually read you guys exactly what he said. This was unfortunate. We had just made a date. He asked me out. I said, yeah, I would go out with him. He was going to be my first hinge date. and then he had been asking me for like two weeks now,

but I had been back home. So anyway, he said to me, okay, can I have your Instagram? How should we communicate? What's your Instagram? It's so fucking weird. So then I gave it to him and then he wrote. Just look it up. No, because it's just got my first name.

Oh. So I said, he said, girl, what the heck is going on here? So he must have looked at my Instagram. And then said, girl, what the heck is going? on here and I said how what do you mean what the heck is going on here yeah right yeah this is why I said this is why I avoid giving out my instant and he said yeah I would have lied wow so I said fuck's his problem I said what's wrong with your Instagram just have something new is it ping pong balls or something like I would have said just checked out your Instagram butt stuff like

If you don't know what I do, I guess like, so I said, laugh my ass off, wait, it's that bad. So then he writes back this, which I just don't even know what to make of it. This is what he says. Are you listening? Are you scrolling? I'm looking at, okay. So trust me, I've scoured through her. So all I see is family photos thus far.

I see the world girls pictures. Maybe it's the world girl stuff. Maybe. I don't know. The hell's wrong with this guy. I don't know. So then. Fucking idiot.

So he said, yeah, I would have lied. I said, laugh my ass off. Wait, it's that bad. and he said, this is what he wrote back. I didn't know what to say to this. You're a hot Jew with an internet persona. Is he Jewish? Yeah.

Okay. Oh, okay. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, I should have said that. Sorry. You should have prepped me. Sorry. He's Jewish.

You're a hot Jew. Yeah. Yeah. Who is this? Oh, they call me yay. I actually. Good point. Good point.

Sorry. I'm not going to, we're not going to slander this man that much. He said, you're a hot Jew with an internet persona. I don't think you got hot. the way you sell it. I just think you've always been hot, but now you're blonde and live in L.A. What the fuck?

So I said, I go, I don't even know what to make of that response. I want to catfish this guy. Yeah. I said, I don't even know what to make of that response, but if I'm not for you, I'm not for you.

Yeah. And he said, interesting, was meant as a compliment. That was me calling you hot. You got to go. Oh, this guy has. This guy's an idiot.

Yeah. So now I have a fucking date with him set for this weekend. No, no. No, I don't, right? No, it's over. Okay. You guys want to know the end of the conversation? Yeah, yeah, it is.

So I, he said, was calling you hot and I said, yeah, I would have lied. It was an interesting response to me giving you my Instagram. And the way you sell it was something else. I'm not sure how I was supposed to interpret that as a compliment, but I don't know your tone. So maybe. And he said, I was kidding because you had so many followers. And I said, gotcha. All right.

Where's he from? Let's look. Just tell me where he's from. Oh, you got a picture? He's from New York. He's from New York. All right. Now, not because I'm making excuses for him, but could have played differently?

What part in New York? It just says NYC. So, city. Well, again, text doesn't come across. Text doesn't come across. It doesn't be sarcated. He could have been like this. Yeah, he should have been like, listen.

What's going on there? Like, listen. All right, here's Richard. Richard sees it. Whoa. What's going on over here? This is impressive. Oh, my goodness.

She's a calendar girl. She's got friends. She's got family. Whoa. I mean, she's saying she turned into hot. Fucking bullshit. I never said that. So that wasn't a conversation we had.

Whatever. How weird is that to say that we had never talked about? I wasn't like I was some ugly duckling. And then I never mentioned anything. He was just like, by the way you sell it. I don't think you've got hot. Yeah. So I'm making, I'm making, I'm making, I don't want to make excuses for him because he's from New York.

But like, he could just be funny. This is how. Could be a douche. Every single conversation is going so far. It takes a turn where I'm just like, what? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. You know what he wants to do on this weekend.

You're not getting good vibes. No, no, not at all. So you think cancel. Yeah. What if he's funny? Yeah, that's the thing. I don't know. Maybe give him one date.

I mean, is a date, is that, it couldn't be brutal, right? It could be a good story for the show. He asked me to go to the drive. Hey, could you consider. the show. Yeah, can you think of Fred, sell it. Sell it for why she should do it. Yeah. Um, Roxy, this could be like horrible for you, but could you do it for the show? Right. Like, I mean, think about, think about the audience. Yes, really think of the audience. Okay. What is this? I think Roxy's needs to be adjusted, but I think that I need to be adjusted as a person. I don't think

I'm going to put it in the, it's in the description, and especially for Christmas time. I've got a couple things here for Christmas time. What do you do? You're cleaning my glasses? I just want to try them on. Oh,

all right. Let's see, let's see what it. Roxy's trying on my glasses. What is up? Your glasses have roses and ladybugs on them? My white bought me those. They're cute.

Is that bad? No. Not too bad? Well, they're very dirty, so I can't see anything. I feel like I look fabulous. You look good. Let's go, Glass is Queen. No, it kind of just blows your eyeballs up a little.

Oh. Do you think so? People already say I'm fucking crazy eyes. Post on hinge. All right, let's get into some of this news. Oh, my God. What news? Let's talk.

We've got news, rocks. Start with this. This is something you were saying. I always give you credit for this because you said this years ago, and that is that Harry Potter should have a TV show. You said it years ago on Collider Live. You say it all the time. You remember that?

Of course. Okay. So Wanner's TV. TV chief talked about Potter and he talked about DC animation. Warner Brothers Studio. Yeah. He is reportedly in the midst. What's a TV chief?

What is he? TV chief. Did I say chief? No, that's what it says. TV chief. Chief chief. Chief. Chief.

What's the, what's the decision, chief? Well, we're going to put the Harry Potter up there. Hey. Hey. Whoa. Yeah. Swell and kooky. Warner Brothers Television Studios is reportedly in the midst of closing a major animation deal between themselves and Amazon.

That's big in regards to DC branded content. Studio chief, Channing Dungey appeared at the UK TV conference content London and says the studio is exploring the idea of taking animated IP to different platforms along with HBO match. Max, Dungey says in a statement, with animation we used to be about. staying in-house, but now we're doing it on different platforms. HBO Max is the first stop, but we were in the process of closing a big deal with Amazon featuring DC-branded content in animation. Now, Dungi also said there's a lot of interest, here you go, Roxy, and a TV series set in the Harry Potter franchise wizarding world.

This is a tremendous amount of ambition for that, and we are engaged in a number of different conversations. I wish I could tell you something that was on imminent on the horizon, but there is a lot of interest and a lot of pressure for it. Absolutely. What's great is that you get to see the audience is so engaged and so ready. Our unscripted team did a fantastic return to Hogwarts special for HBO last year. That resonated so tremendously we did a quiz show, the tournament of houses that Helen Mirren was the host for. The audience is ready.

They want to go. So we're just trying to figure out what the next step is. What's wrong? Trying on glasses now? Listen to the fucking story. Yeah. I have a lot to figure out with the next step. We're listening to James.

The comments come out last month. Warner Brothers television underwent a massive restructure and had to lay off 90%, 19%, not 90, of work first across the scripted, unscripted in animation divisions. All right, so wait. I have questions. Is it animated?

I don't know. That was a different thing. Keep up, Brett. That was D.C. Oh, got it, got it. D.C. is going animated on different platforms. Harry Potter might have its own series, chief. But wait, so there's a lot here because

If you're going to fuck around, you've got to still pay attention. You got to pay attention. You know we're still in the conversation. No, he doesn't. He's fucking drifts off into an alternate reality. You got to stay in it. He knows why he's here. He knows why he's here.

Just shut up while we talk. And then you can say something funny in the middle of it. Let the adults talk. Oh, my God. Brett is our version of just sit there and look pretty. Until he's had something funny. He's so. Pretty bad.

That's why, like, normally, you know, he'll throw something that. It's funny, and then he sits in his hole. Why is that guy here? It's not a hole. It's a mountain peak. He's no idea why he's here. He still doesn't know. Sometimes I feel like that.

I just sit there and I go, what are they talking? That's why, that literally is why you're here. That's why people don't understand. Can you figure it out or sometimes? I can. I can't. It's when you get in, like, when you can rattle off all these names, of people that work for DC and stuff like that.

You don't understand this. People don't understand. Most people who watch this show understand this now. But for people who are like, like, why do they have the guy who doesn't really know anything about movies and TV on there? If there were three brets on this show, it was Brett, Brett, Brett and Brett, then you got a point. Then you got a point. But you don't.

You have no point right now. Most people don't know the names and the things and all that you speak for the people, Brett. Well, that's what I said early on. Like when I was doing schmows, no show, I'm like, the schmows have no longer, they're not schmows anymore because you became, you know more. So I was, you know, and that's why I tell people that when I'm trying it when I was like and or they're like, learn the names. And I just respond to each time the same way. Nope. No.

You learn the names. I'll learn the names when I learn the names. You get your own show. Yeah. There's tons of people out there who do all the research. Yeah. Wrong show. Anyway, so there is a lot, though, Roxy, that has happened over the last Christmas week with Warner Brothers, right?

Because Warner Brothers came out when Zazloff took over and with discovery and everything, too, that the handling, I still think, and I'll reiterate this, I think that if they looked at Bad Girl said this movie stinks and that we don't want to put on HBO Max and they could make, and they're going to get a tax break on it, business-wise. You were okay with what they did, not how they did it. Correct. Yeah. And I still stand by that, and I think that initially, he had a lot of bedside manner stuff that was wrong. I think people talk to him because you've noticed over the last month or so, the way that he's been approaching things have been, it's been better.

Now, better, not worse, better. Less vocal. Right, but either way, he's making moves because he's still got to get them out of a hole. Now, what they did, which is true, true. Yeah, it's where I'm at. It's with him. But, you know, they lost legendary. So legendary, Brett was like, so,

King Kong, June, they still get to do all those movies because they had to deal with them, but they were with Warner Brothers for a long time. Then they moved away from Warner Brothers. Then they came back. But then the guy who was running Warner Brothers

before Zazlov made this deal of HBO Max and just putting, remember when they put everything on HBO Max? Like June and everything, just the day of release put it out there. Now, that's great for us, for family people, but for Legendary who puts up the money also, they weren't consulted or anything.

So they were pissed. Oh, I remember that. You're pissed. So then, and then they had. What was that, Brett? That was probably your, 2019? Close. 2012.

Yeah, no, no, go. You're in the area. But, um, the 70s? Yeah, it was the 70s. But then they started talking to Sony. They started talking to Sony right away. Like, fuck this, we're getting out of here. And they talked to Sony, but then Zazov came in there and tried to mend it, but it was too late.

Sony, Sony got them. And they also, one of the main reasons is because they don't have a streaming. service and Sony's going to take care of them. They have a lot of access now to the Sony library, the games, like everything. So one of those needs to make some moves now. And one of the things like, so I think a Harry Potter television series now minus, there's always going to be people that the same way that we'll talk about a little bit like Will Smith. Will Smith is always going to have something for people now when they watch him. Some people are going to forgive right away. Some people are going to forgive gradually. Some people are in an asterisks. Yeah. Some people are going

are going to forgive never. Same thing for J.K. Relling, people are like, and in a very, very different situations. Yeah. For the two of them, I'm just saying when there's controversy around it, a lot of people either just never going to watch Harry Potter again, going to separate the art from the artist, going to do it, whatever it might be.

Harry Potter is a massive IP that I think they handled wrong with fantastic piece. And I don't think that the not success of that in the beginning had anything to do with her. I think it just wasn't as interesting as the original stuff. But you've been calling for a Hogwarts, Harry Potter thing, for at least three or four years. Yeah, I think there's so many responses to what you just said, Christian. Number one, whether it is right or wrong, somebody that I hate to watch, for example, Mel Gibson, can't stand watching him. I didn't have that hard of a time watching Hacksaw Ridge because he's not in it.

And that doesn't mean that you should or shouldn't watch it. It's just when you're literally staring at Will Smith, of course you're going to be thinking about controversy at some point. Even if it's only for the first two minutes, you're going to be thinking like, oh, how's this going to go? The luxury that Harry Potter has is that J.K. Rowling is not on screen. You could make the argument that some people could say,

well, she's benefiting from this. Oh, 1,000 percent. And that's what I'm saying. I know you're saying. Resonating. Right. Resonation, though. I'm just saying that I do think that sometimes we have a hard time watching

to them because we were literally so distracted by what's happening that we don't want to even watch it. So I do think that Harry Potter, A, has that. B, it's got a lot of other controversy that's going on within Harry Potter because of JK. There is everything that happened with obviously Johnny Depp, Ezra Miller. But then there's also things like Helena Bonham Carter this week coming out in support of JK, which was, you know, we've seen people or even Daniel Ekliffe coming out against

JK, you know, and it seems to be a very divided group of people there. So there's a lot of controversy in this entire franchise right now. I still think that there's huge merit in there being a Harry Potter show. This franchise means a lot to people. And you're right. I don't mean a Harry Potter show. I don't mean a wizarding world. Whatever.

That world. There's still so much good that it did. Like, I don't think that JK lives by the messages that she writes. Because what she writes is so different and opposite than her personal beliefs. It's kind of confusing at times. But this world means a lot to people. And I think that also, like on a very surface level, it's fun. Harry Potter is really fun.

People like it. There's a whole fucking theme parks and like all this stuff about it. So there's no way a Harry Potter show, I think, would do poorly. And I don't think that even the blip that is JK would negatively affect the show. They got to go to Hogwarts. They have to. That's what I was just thinking. You know, Fantastic Beast, I think for the most part, didn't work because nobody really cared about any of that storyline.

There's a weird lead, too. Yeah. And I like Eddie Redmond. It's a weird lead. But I think, yeah, they want to... The character was strange. They want to go back to Harry or somewhere, you know, close to him. I don't know if it's, would it be his kids or something or would it be...

It just depends on what time period they do, but they could go into... He's not interested right now. They've definitely approached him about the, what's it, the cursed child or whatever. And he's not interested right now. And that's fine. I think that you can do something about the school itself and whether it's right before the events, after the events, like during that time, period like right after um and how that's you you give you that give you that feel again that magic

that pun intended i guess so like that's what was missing and fantastic i i'm one of the few people who like those movies but understand all of them yeah i did and but but i understand the criticisms like i'm not gonna like if you know there's some shows that have or or movies that have i said it was terrible or great you know you'd be like we could have a debate about it yeah i would not have a debate with anybody. Like, I remember seeing the second movie, yeah, with Ellis and Perry on both sides. And they both. Yeah, you guys were the row behind me.

They hated it. I thought Ellis was going to leave every minute. Perry looked like someone was assaulting her family. Yeah, it was, I had a, that movie was a wharf, man. I walked out going, I was not that bad, not bad. But I understood everything that they said when all their criticisms came out. I said, I get it. I just, is there some movies that you just like more than other people?

And the last one I thought suffered because of the second one Because the last one was the best I thought As far as made and characters And they went into the magic I thought the third one was actually pretty good And again it was just We got to a place where nobody cared anymore I think that going to Hogwarts makes a lot of sense

There's other There's other magical schools too though right In the wizarding world I think so That's a ding Who is it? Now you have to read it out loud No it's got to be my wife

Yeah there's the Gotta read it out loud No, because now it's dinged. They can't hear it. There's the one with all the hunky dudes. Yeah. And then there's the one with all the ladies that flounce around in the blue outfits. There are different schools because they were all in the tri-wizard tournamenters.

People would love a wizarding world show. There's so many different directions you could go with it. I don't even think it has to be with either Harry Hermione or Ron, although you could do something surrounding one of them. You're right. There's always the next generation. There's previous generation. it's a wizarding war. Yeah.

But the Hogwarts, I think we all agree. Hogwarts is what we want to see. The characters wouldn't necessarily be the, because we can't get, or a base of a school like Hogwarts. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I think Hogwarts would be the show to do

because you can do it inside, like the school, the kids, what I worry about them is to go to, again, CW-ish with it, you know. But you can get, you can go inside of that world, maybe so a couple missions happen, but not to the extent of the evil that Harry and even in Fantastic Beast, because it doesn't always have to be that. But I think you could do that. Well, the bottom line is, does it make sense for Warner Brothers in television to want to do that?

Of course it does. It's one of their big IPs, especially now and especially after losing legendary and the things that they have to do. And that kind of transitions the other part of that story. And it's that with DC, that's their major thing right now. They're putting all their efforts into the DCU and James Gunn and all that stuff. So now you've got this move that they want to make with that. Amazon, and one of the things I thought that was really smart was I think they had to kind of

readjust and evaluate after looking at basically legendary going, well, you guys are so sold on everything going to HBO Max and just staying there. They said, well, let's open it up. Let's be able to go to Amazon. They're also doing it because of money, obviously, but let's go to Amazon. They have this deal with Amazon. That's a big win for them if they get that. Yeah, animation stuff.

Yeah, with T.C. Yeah. It's good way to promote it. It's just hard to wrap my head around. I'm sure you guys feel similar. like what DC looks like right now. So it's hard for me to be like, yeah, that's the right call

because I can't see the big picture right now. Yeah, because we don't know yet. We don't know. So it's like, I think that's fine, but what actually is DC? Yeah, it's also James Gunn, you know, had that big conversation over on Twitter, I guess, where he said that some of the games

would be connected to the DCU, the animation, other things too. So it's exactly what you're saying. The question is, what is it? And I don't think that they have to tell us, No, they don't. It's just then hard for me to get excited about anything because I'm like, I will watch. Just what is it? But what is it? And I think we'll find out, I think we'll start to get little peppers, peppering in for the, but I think the little peppers, little peppers.

Little peppers. But I think that we'll get a full slate by Comic-Con, for sure. Okay. Real quick, I just talking about Will Smith, I just wanted to share with you something that happened over Thanksgiving that will really show you how Will Smith's, uh, is. image has changed and they were like the kids group of kids playing heads up and my daughter for the clue said get my wife's name out your mouth that she didn't say any of his filmography independence day no nothing that's what she knows and they knew it right away yeah they will smith it was like i i was here i feel like everybody's going to watch devotion to annihilation uh what's the uh the one with um john

The Majors? No, the Will Smith movie. Oh, oh, devotion, I think, right? But Devotion is the John of the Major John. Oh, I don't remember. Whatever it's called, denotion, detotion. Yeah. But the new Will Smith movie out here, I feel like people are kind of like,

eh, sometimes people end up assaulting people on air. Like, it's just a fucked up place that we live. But when I went back home, everybody was like, no. I mean, people were like, Team Chris Rock, like saying that. And I was like, oh, it's interesting that they are like, we stand by Chris Rock. like this is not right to Chris Rock and I was like wow I don't even I don't hear that in LA you know what it is I think that when I might as well just get into this story

Will Smith in a second here too but um this is um what it is Will Smith is he's right devotion devotion devotion is what I said isn't devotion no you said it maybe and then you said it isn't devotion she said it's very sure it's devoting you want me looking up yeah Roxie usually does Having a stroke. Anyway, listen. So I think that what it is is that Will Smith now obviously knew through his rounds of the press for this, that he was going to be asked about this all over the place. Oh, my God.

Every single reporter. Every reporter. Everyone. As they, that's, and he knew it. He knew it going into it. And he's making the rounds and he's saying, you know, he doesn't want, he didn't want his crew, you don't want football, you didn't want these, everybody you work with to be the ones who. Had to yield the question.

But had to take the, I don't know. I don't want to say that. Take the hit. I don't want to say that. But, you know, just be the ones who suffered from it. Got slapped? Right. But I think that what is the major thing here is what you just said about Boston.

I think that if Chris Rock, who has not, and still said, not ready to talk about it, The day he decides to forgive Wolf Smith is the day that, will everyone forgive? No. No, but Boston would. That's kind of how Boston goes. People would say, okay, Chris is cool with it. And he's gone his other way. But Chris is rightfully so letting him sit in it.

He's letting him sit in it. And he knows, Chris Rock knows. Chris Rock knows that if he publicly said that I'm going to let bygones be bygones and it's cool, he knows that it'd be easier for Will. He said, fuck him. I don't want to do it yet. And he might not. publicly say that but because of that and this is all i mean now i'm turning this into tmz for one second

but just honestly curious both of your opinions on this do you guys think something else is going on here with what with chris rock and will smith like what it just oh the reason that was so he did it just seems to me like the history like building yeah yeah like history building i think it was they said that as much i think that they were friends in time but then there was kind of a little falling out or something along the lines up to it, but then... But do you think that this is more about how Chris Rock feels about Will Smith as a person or that one incident? I think it's probably a mixture of both.

Emancipation. It's not on IMDB. I couldn't... It's Apple. Emancipation. That's not sounding right to me. Well, it's the emancipation proclamation. All right.

I'm going to read this story about Will Smith while these guys look it up. Yeah, that is right. So devotion's the John of the Major's movie? Why do we both think it was devotion? I know, but Will Smith was on the, he was on the Daily Show, and obviously they talked about it on the Daily Show also. They talked about it everywhere. Kevin McCarthy, the reporter, was, um...

I like him. He's the best. And one of my favorite Twitter feeds ever, because people get him confused with Kevin McCarthy all the time. And then he'll say something and just like, I can't believe that you're standing by where these people are doable? And he's like, is this because I said, that Will Smith's performance in Independence Day was not all of them.

It's hilarious. Yeah. All right. Actor Will Smith made a recent appearance on Trevor Noah's The Daily Show where he opened up about slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Academy Awards. Smith dubbed it a horrific night and said that while there are many nuances and complexities to it, at the end of the day, I just lost it, you know. Asked if he learned anything from the moment,

Smith said that the goal he took away is that people should be nice to one another as they never really know what someone else is going through. you're asking what did I learn and that we just have to be nice to each other man like you know it's it's hard and I guess the thing that was most painful for me is I took my I took my heart and made it hard for other people you know it's like I understood the idea they say hurt people hurt people smith continued to open up even more saying that the moment was a result of a lot of internal things that came to the surface and he had to forgive himself for being human it was a lot of things it was that little boy that watched his father beat up his mom you know it's all that stuff just bubbled up in that moment you know you know it's all that stuff just bubbled up in that moment you know you know it's just not who I want to be. I have to forgive myself for being human. Trust me, there's nobody that hates the fact that I'm human more than me and just finding that space for myself within myself to be human.

It's like I always wanted to be Superman. I've always wanted to swoop in and save the damsel in distress, you know. And I've had to humble down and realize that I'm a flawed human and I still have an opportunity to go out into the world and contribute in a way that fills my heart and hopefully helps other people. The interview which was going to, we would have gotten to this a lot easier if I would have read this article, promote the Apple TV feature

Emancipation runs the full episode and can be found at the CTV comedy channel whilst the key excerpt can be watched below blah blah. Okay. So yeah I mean this is pretty much you assume this is the kind of stuff that he's been

talking about, knew he was going to talk about, knew how he was going to answer it. So what do you think about the answer, Rox? What's you going to say? Right. It's not Right, but right now nothing he says really lands with me one way or the other. Did you figure it's got to be...

What's he going to say? Right. You know, what's he going to come on and say, I think this is fucking ludicrous. Or he's going to stand by it. Yeah, of course he's not going to do that, but he's also not going to come out there and be like, everybody should cancel me. And he's a good actor, so you don't know. So it's tough. I'm going to watch the movie.

I'm going to see how I feel watching it. I don't think what he did is unforgivable by any means. I don't think that. Anybody hitting anybody one time is an unforgivable act. That shit suck. Yeah, it was awful to watch and, like, it turned us all around on how we feel about certain things. But am I going to watch it? Yeah, just right now listening to him on all these interviews, I was just like,

does this hold any water at all? It's tough. It's tough. I'm in the place where I'm buying it, but I understand, your take, I understand 100%. I get, and I think, not buying it. Right. Right.

But you're skeptical as a lot of, like, you're just curious of, it could be legit. It could be rehearsed. It could be, like, you're 100% right. What else can he say? Yeah. And if you're going to go this route, this is exactly what you have to say. I am over that, like, I think that he was 100% in the wrong. I do stand behind Chris Farke.

I thought handled it completely like a professional and did it the right way and has handled it since the right way. I think not talking about it has been the right thing for him. I think he's benefited in his career tremendously because of it. But all that being said, I do think... Not that he needed to benefit in his career. No, no, but he did. And all that stuff, all that being said, I am still in a play. I thought it was a terrible moment. I thought it was a horrible moment. But I think that I, you know, I, I do believe in second chances. I do believe this is something that you, the guy has, this has been a lot of things with Will Smith. and it's one of those things where I understand if someone's like, I'm not ready.

And it's Kevin McCarthy's one who asked him. And Will Smith said it. People were like, I'm not ready yet. He's like, I get it. I totally get it. What's he going to say? But yeah, but I get it. So it's a tough one.

And I understand if anybody was like, I'm not ready to watch Will Smith now. I still the same way that he did. I'm like, I get it. Am I going to be able to watch it? Yeah. I will. I think that he's always going to carry that with him. And it's a stupid thing for me.

Like, and I've talked about it many times over, which is that's like a much smaller thing. But like when, like my brother passed a, way, and I told you this, I carried so much anger with me for a year, and I took that with me on the air, and that stupid Galaxy's Edge thing happened, and I still, to this day, people will comment on it. There's a lot of people who now go, and I've seen people go, you know, whatever. People don't know the situation also, and how would they? Right?

But, like, you get to a place where you do something, and you got to earn it. You got to own it. You got to own it. And it's like one of those things where, like, in my case, when my brother passed, I had people who told me I should talk about it. I should be talking to people. I should talk to my friends, and I didn't. And I took it with me, and I, and that particular day, not only was I, you know,

it's not an excuse for it at all, but I was also ill, but I was also still not talking to anybody. And that's a mistake. That is a mistake. And when you let that stuff bundle up and when you're a public persona, I mean, him way so, obviously way more than I am, but I still on enough when you take it onto the air with you, you pay for your own actions. I get, I totally get what you're saying.

And this is no knock on Will Smith, but, like, there is a difference between you in that moment, possibly coming off more entitled than you are. And slapping someone. No, no, no, I know. I know. It's not even slapping somebody. If he was standing next to Chris Rock, I think people would feel very differently about this. He got up. He made him.

Get on stage. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I was. It was. But I'm not, all I'm saying. This is mad seconds between there and there. I know. But all I'm saying is I understood where he.

What he's talking about when there's stuff inside and, like, his actions were completely inexcusable. But now you are talking about it. He's not really, like, he's not saying what you just said. This incident took place. This is what was going on. We're not getting that from him. I don't know. He kind of said that.

You don't think he said that? You mean his like three-minute thing? He said, I'm not, like, I have feelings, but about what, no, I don't think we're getting that. Well, either way. It's not a direct comparison. We all have different things that we give a shit about versus what we don't. Like some people can watch Kevin Spacey movies. Some people can't.

Some people can't. My brother won't watch fucking Reese Witherspoon movies because she got a DUI once. And then when they pulled her over, she said, do you know who I am? And that is his biggest pet peeve, so he can't watch her shit. Yeah. Everybody has to affect them differently, which is bizarre. But like, that's what it's going to be like with Will now. If slaps like that are the thing that get you, then that's the thing that gets you.

then that's the thing that gets you. I think to help you ease through it, you should watch the one where somebody dubbed over with Mickey Mouse. That's the best. Pluto. You keep my wife out your fucking boss. I can't believe that heads up story, though.

That's wild. Yeah. And I was in the other room. I was like, what? Did they guess it? Oh, yeah. It was just like immediate. Yeah.

Like they all knew exactly. Wow. Well, look, I'm hoping that not only does Will Smith come back from this. and people believe it. But I'm also hoping that he is smart enough to make sure that he goes on over to puffy blankets and gets himself rumple.

Get himself a rumple blanket because that's the way to help. It's rumble blankets, by the way, if you didn't know. Roxy, have you tried one yet? Be honest. I want, where is it? I got to get it for you. Hook it up. All right.

when you guys support Rumble and get yourself a blanket, you're supporting the show. People say, how can we support the show? I mean, you guys don't go live, and we do live on Christian Arleff and Friends, but we don't do live on this channel. I want to send you a super chat. Well, get yourself a blanket.

Get yourself some coffee. Get one of those things. Look at the links below hand. That's how you support the show. All right, we're going to go into Roxy's picks here on TV. With some TV, and before we even do that, I got to get into, I got to tell you guys this. Severance.

Uh-oh. So here. You wouldn't? You refuse to talk to me about this, before we started the show. Because I want you to talk about it now. Yeah. All right.

So I had finished arc and everyone's like you're going to watch 1899. I said, not yet. I'm going to try severance. And everybody's talking about this is the best show on television. It's so great. And I would love it. It's right up my alley. I start watching the first episode.

And I tweeted out after about 10 minutes. Bored out of my fucking skull. And I was like, I don't know. I'm watching it. I'm going, I don't know. I don't think this is for me. And I was bored in the same way I was watching Lord of the Rings. Started at the beginning of the first episode.

I should check on my phone. I said, why am I checking my phone? I should be watching this show. It's like, all, let me see if I can fit you. See, if I connect to it, Roxy wrote me back. She's like, oh, no, you tweet bummed me out. I was, just, you didn't like, please. Just keep watching.

And the audience, like, keep watching, keep watching. So I kept watching, getting past. And I watched the first episode, and I was on board by the time it was over. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. So I'm on episode four now, and I, and I'm very intrigued. I think Adam Scott's really good in it. Yeah, he's awesome.

Jennifer Jason Lee, not Jennifer Jason Lee. What's, uh, Parquette? Oh, Patricia. Oh, yeah. So. Really scary in it. And who's that? Who's the main girl?

She's new. Yeah, she's really good. Yeah, she's really good. She's very good. She really good. And obviously, Totoro and, and then Walkin shows up in it. So I was, I was on board with it. And I'm, I find myself now that I want to watch it at night.

The first episode, I'm like, okay, I watch it because I got to talk about it with these fuckers on Thursday. By the end, I think you're going to be like, holy shit. I'm on board so far, and I like where they're going with his, with Petey and all this. Just like the journey, Roxanne. So, yeah, even like last night I was upset. So build it up to me. I know.

Well, last night I was upset because I got back from the Willow thing. It was too late for an episode. I started watching a little bit. My wife couldn't find the, the, the, roe. remote, so blaming me for it. And I'm like, I have this one. She's like, you took the other one. And for like 15 minutes, I'm trying to sink up the other one.

I was going to have Brett come to my house to midnight to hook up the Roku. But I found myself bummed. I finished the episode. I think I'm on the last episode going in. I'm either going into four or I'm going into five. I can't remember. But either way, I'm on board with it. It's a good show.

It's really good. Yeah, I like it. It's better than good. It's great. It's good. I'm happy so far. I thought I was worried that you don't usually do this, I was worried that you were going to in defiance hate the show.

I don't do that, though. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I was worried about that. Yeah, but his save it for the show was a very convincing he didn't like it. I know. Yeah, but then he had said four episodes. I was like, if he hated episode two, I don't think you would do. No, I always, I was on, I'm, I'm, I'm interested in the story.

And that's what the thing was like, when I, like, Willow, right? It's like, as I said, Willow is, is, it's a story I like. It's just this, the modern, the, mix between modern and this fantasy, you know, kind of classic. Why would they do that? It's so weird. When you guys see that episode of the, and you just watch that first episode of the,

hey, we're supposed to get married. It's weird. That's weird. It's such a stupid line. It's so stupid. So going to Severance for a second. You guys could make the choice that they made to have an idiot and an Audi. Would you guys do that?

Not for my job. No. Not for my job. job. No, I mean, I've had jobs that I would have done that for, but not, yeah, not for my job. I mean, I definitely want to make sure I know what the hell I'm saying on there, especially after the last conversation. Yeah, no, not knowing what the hell you just said. It's like, I mean, you could, you could just blame on. That wasn't me.

On me. Anyway, all right, let's get into Roxy's got some, speaking of TV, man. Let's get the first one, Rox. Oh, gosh. My gosh. Tulsa King, I'm so in on this show. I have to tell you guys something that is quite alarming, but I can't help it. Sylvester Stallone is so fucking hot in this. It's disgusting.

I love it. He is sexy. This is a sexy, sexy 76-year-old man, man. I'm watching this. I'm like, what is wrong with me that this is the most attractive I've ever been to him when he is like a fucking gangster? Yeah. This show is great. Are you caught up?

No, I'm only on episode one. Okay. I think it gets even better. We're just living in a world that's so foreign to me, but so believable the way that they're doing it. And it's awesome. Like I am very invested in the story. I love gray characters, you know, not good, not bad, somewhere in the middle.

I'm loving this. It's on two episodes? That's what you said? Yeah. It's on two. So the third one's coming up this Sunday. Yeah. Yeah, I definitely need to check it.

I love the first episode, so I'm curious about the second one. for sure. That's, and that you can catch on Parano Plus. I think it's two, not three. I think so.

Okay. This is the one that everybody's talking about that you can't be a TV person and not be talking about this. Right now, it's Wednesday. It's the Adams family show,

Jenna Ortega playing Wednesday Adams, and it is just beyond great. Why is it so good? It's shocking to me. Yeah. Everybody was like, this show is so good. And I was like,

I don't know if I'm going to watch it. And then I checked it out and was like, this is so much fun. It's just, It's got the right energy to it. As we were talking earlier about Harry Potter stuff, it kind of reminds me of like a school. It's a school for misfits and outcasts,

and it's just like perfect dialogue. The way it's shot is so great. The acting is phenomenal. You fall so in love with Wednesday. She's great. Yeah, just like as she's so charismatic and her best time is awesome. I don't understand kids. Oh, fair.

So I would say yes, I'd show it to my kids, but I don't know. It's definitely a little dark. That you know. Yeah. Yeah. Could have came out on the toilet. We're not sure about that. Yeah.

You have to watch Wednesday. My daughter, I asked her, she said, I want to watch Wednesday. I said, well, will you watch it with me? And she's like, I'm like, no, please, I want to watch a show with you. She just finished it by herself last night. She's like, can I do the dishes later? I'm just finishing Wednesday. I'm like, you're finishing what?

She looks like if she dyed her hair brown. She could be a Wednesday. But she said she wouldn't have liked to watch it with me. Why? Because she would feel awkward. And she said because there was some kissing. There was no sexy time at all. There's like a little peck, I guess.

I don't know. I'm like, really? But again, I remember being embarrassed around my parents, but that was probably doing. Gomez gets tossed off in the bathroom. You know what, Morticia and Gomez, maybe she means this. Morticia and Gomez are like obsessed with each other. Like Paul touchy. Yeah.

What a great gig for Louise Guzman because it's Catherine Seda-Jones, right? When it's happening, I'm thinking like, this is hysterical. What a good gig that is. Yeah. And you can tell he's living for it. Of course he is. Luis Guzman is a sweetheart of a gentleman and a great, he ain't pulling Catherine Zeta Jones in real life. You love them so much as a couple in this.

It's crazy. It's so good. You have to watch. If it sounds even remotely appealing, you're going to love it. It does now because. I mean, I've always wanted to, I was curious about it, but it's so much buzz. So much buzz. Yeah, yeah, it's good.

Andrew Freed does it again. Yeah, I didn't know that this was your friend. Once again, this is so weird. Did you not know Freed did this either? My buddies that came into town, we're talking about listening to this, like. Freed does it again. Freed's King Minus, man. I talked to it.

For everybody who watches Big Thing knows Andrew Freed now. Wow. On Netflix, there is a four-part docu series called Pepsi. Where is my jet? I didn't know anything. about this and just decided, all right, you guys know, the four in the morning, let me start watching this. So I did, and I finished all four episodes. It is such an interesting story, a real story that took place. I guess Pepsi ran an ad once that said that for seven million

points, you could get this fighter, this jet, this military-based jet. And this guy did everything you needed to in order to do it. And they were like, oh, we were kidding. It's a joke. So Pepsi sued him. He sues Pepsi. It's a whole lawsuit. And it makes you really question like, who is right in this scenario? And it was interesting. The way they do it, too, you're just like on the edge of your seat,

especially if you don't know what happened, which I had no idea what had happened. I wasn't happy with the end result, but that's not the doc's fault. Right. That's life. Yeah. Well, that's what Andrew said that when he was on the show. He's like, that's the thing that we do is that on our docs or whatever it might be, we tell you the real life story.

So, like, you might not always like the way that ends. Yeah, I did. He said as much. I think it was one of the, when he was talking about how the, I think it was last chance you, one of the other shows that he does. Oh, yeah. And he was talking about how they, or was it last chance you? I can't remember which show it was, but they were going to do a game and COVID hit.

And their season was totally canceled. And it ended with the season just being canceled. People were pissed about it. Yeah, but he was like, that's how it happened. That's what happened. Yeah, that's what happened. By the time we get to the end of it, I'm like, man. But that makes sense.

Yeah. And they did do a good job. And you met Andrew. Yeah. Yeah, you met him. That's right. So, um, uh, and I loved his, uh, uh, uh, A raxum and I mean, uh, chef's table. I mean, he, he really is. Yeah. All right.

Let's see. Let's keep going. So that's, that's on Netflix. But a horrible person. Yeah, really horrible. All right. Yellowstone. I'm putting this on because we are like four episodes in now and this continues to be one of the

best shows on television. If you're not watching it and you love prestige television, this is for you. But it's definitely got a flare for the Dramatics. The girl on the right, Beth Dutton, is... You love her. She is the best character on television. Yeah, you love her. For no other reason, watch the show just for her as a character.

She's the best character on TV. The show is really, really great. You find out where to find it yet? All over the place. Now I'm taping it on Xfinity. Okay. Because I don't understand. Somebody was like, no, I watch mine on Hulu.

Another person says I'm watching on Peacock. Another person says I'm watching on Paramount Plus. They're everywhere. Depends which episode you're watching. The way they do that is fucking so annoying. Yeah, sounds like. This is still the first season? No.

No, no. Oh, I was going to say, like. I think what happens is it airs on Paramount. So I'm taping it on my Xfinity. So it's not Paramount Plus, it's Paramount. You can't find that. You can't find all the seasons of Paramount Plus. That's stupid.

It should all be there. It's confusing. It's a great business model. The White Lotus, I used to say that the first season was better than the second season. Now I think the second season is just as good. This show is iconic. What happens every week is like just truly mind-blowing. It's also become a show that like the LGBTQIA plus community is obsessed with

because it's become so queer this season, which has been a lot of fun. It's just got a lot of twists and turns and like is extremely raunchy all over the place. How's our boy Christopher Malsesanti from the surprise? He's amazing. Christopher. He's so great. The acting in this is incredible.

It's not just him. Like Haley-Ritchardson is amazing. Theo James is all. Aubrey Plaza is badass. Jennifer Coolidge is just a G. Like it is one of those shows where if it was C-list celebrities, it maybe wouldn't be as good because you're watching. I mean, they're just like, this is an A-list cast.

But who's the standout? Is it F. Murray? Well, I was going to ask you this. So John and Howie posted this the other day, and I have to agree with them. It's a great dad joke. But like, why does everybody hate Murray Abraham someone? Oh, they do?

Why do they hate them something? I always writing Fmark. I thought you were going to just tell me something real because he's not on Mythic Quest this season and there's like apparently some kind of controversy. John Howie posted it out. And he got me at first. I go, why does everybody hate him?

I thought everybody loved him. I thought it was great. All right, go ahead, Roxy. So White Lotus. White Lotus. That's HBO Max. Really, really good. All right, last one on this one.

Dead to me. Season 3. three, the final season came out, and I told you guys that it would be coming out and to catch up, and if you didn't listen to me, we'll shame on you because this show is awesome. The final season ends in such a beautiful, poignant, sad, disturbing kind of way. I think that this show is so good. Christina Applegate, Linda Carleini, and they are just this awesome duo, best friend duo. And it's like mystery, you don't know what's going to happen.

They rounded it out perfect. It's great that it ended in three seasons. don't think it should have gone on longer perfect ending. Well, there you go. The Roxy's picks, Roxie TV.

But it's not my favorite. And I think it's also because of what my wife makes. My wife on Christmas Eve makes baked ziti and baked chicken. And that's like, so you're going to get me right there. and then on Christmas she makes a brisket. I'm taking brisket over turkey all day long. I love brisket, but what kind? Beef.

Yeah, that's how you do. Beef biscuit, baby. Beef brisket. The Jews do some things right with food. Sometimes we don't get it right, like a filter fish, don't know what the fuck we're thinking. We make a good beef brisket. I'll tell you this.
