All right. So we know that the Paramount thing hasn't officially gone through. A lot of people thinking, well, I talked to some people last night that don't think it's going to go through. But just people with opinion. So, not insiders. You've been interrupting myself as I have my own thoughts. So James Gunn, there's new reports that he might be wanting to get the hell out of there now that this has gone through. We'll break that down. We'll see how true that is.

We'll see what we think. We will discuss. Game of Thrones is having a resurgence, man. Man of the Seven Kingdoms really got people pumped about it. Now there's a new movie coming out that we just found out about. That's pretty exciting. Some Starfighter stuff. And I saw Hoppers.

My review's about to go up after a bit. I had my out of the theater reaction. I saw Hoppers. I seem to be in the minority. People are, like, I think it's a good movie. People love this movie. I think it's good. And we'll discuss that.

So, Roxy Stryor will have some TV picks. Talk about the most embarrassed or most quiet we've ever seen Mike Kalinowski. And Roxy and I get to catch up. So here we go, guys. It is a Christian Arloaf show here today on a Tuesday. Me and Roxy Stryor. Let's do it. I'm not hungry.

I feel good. I'm refreshed. And I got Roxy with. me there's roxy striyer as you see her in all her glory um roxy tomorrow i just got the i they they sent jonathan sent the cut for the um penny how's it looking it looks good it just needs it there's a couple things that need work there was an editing thing up top that um we missed but it's coming along it was just it the thing was we shot it on riverside right so like it it gets really good visual like the quality is

great for all four of us, even Mike. Even Mike the whole time? Yeah, because it records it at a different speed. It doesn't record it in how we saw it. They're really confused when we keep being like we can't hear. I know, I know. But it looks good. It's hilarious.

There was one particular line that she said about there was, let's see if I can take you back to this and you remember. She talked about how there was a particular scene that she did where she wasn't attracted to the person that she was in. And then she talked about her remedy of how she got over that. Yeah. I asked that question.

You did. And Mike's reaction to it. Jonathan put Mike in the far right corner as she's telling that story and it's hilarious. What does he do? I couldn't see. He's just like this. He's like like, the story, he's

just so, he's, he's, he's just so, he's moved by the story you know so it's like it's pretty great. Is he not here today? I have questions for him. No he's not here today. He's saying to get him. No, because he's working. So it's like he's trying to get on. I want to know

I want to know a couple things from him. Sure. I want to know number one since she started following us on Twitter. He's using his Twitter differently. Like it is knowing that she's following him going to cause him to tweet differently. Like I feel

He wants to impress her. Oh, so you mean, so not be Mike? Well, the aunt, well, she started. So there's, and I think we even sent this, there you go. That's, that's Mike's. So she's following you as well. Everybody, everybody, yeah. So, but it, but it's a good question, but the answer or any of the answer, the answer, no,

he hasn't changed his tune at all. Why has he been? He's been doing the same thing he always does. And he's, you know, he's going after people because with our main story they were talking about. today. He's going after everybody. That's what he does. He can't help himself. Huh. That's interesting. But how crazy? How crazy was he?

How crazy was he? No, how quiet was he? That was the crazy part. That was the crazy part. Right. It's what I'm saying. How crazy it was how quiet he was. I'm trying to think. Would you say he asked two questions in an hour? A little more than that, but you're not exaggerating by coming up with that number. Right. No, like, because I'm trying to remember what they actually were.

I don't know. I'd have to come up with one, and I'm guessing there was maybe two. I do love that, and we both were very excited when she made him call her mommy. Yes. What do you think about her calling me a nice lady? She said, you seem like a nice lady. She said, I'm just nervous to respond to your question because I don't want to offend you. Oh, right.

Because she seemed like a nice lady. Yeah. Did you see this piece of work? I'm a nice lady. Oh, my God. How great is that? So good. Poor Luke, he says,

Sleps thrown pictures. Every time I show pitcher, he's got to put the lower third back on. Watch. Say, look how quick he's. I don't mean this in any kind of a condescending way. I hope it's not taken as that. Sure.

And it wasn't just in our interview that I noticed this. I noticed this in the interviews I watched to prep for this, because I prep for it like I went and guessed. So I watched many hour-long interviews with her. Sure. He's very smart. Yeah. She's very smart.

Oh, so you didn't want to sound condescending. Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. You know what I mean? Like I'm not surprised. I'm just saying she's very smart. So it's enjoyable to talk to her because she really answers our questions. Do you know what here? And again, not to sound condescending, I think that's her appeal. Yeah, she's smart. I think the appeal is that she's and when you talk to her, I mean, look, look, her film knowledge will tell you enough. Like that was wild. She's spitting out films from like overseas and things that I'm like, I felt like a moron. Like the stuff that she knew. Because so the Tuesday one week ago today for our super chats from you guys, we had you submit questions. And we said that we're going to get to some of them and possibly try to ask her. Yeah. We got to a lot of them. But it seemed like the overarching theme of what you guys wanted to know about her was what she does in her free time, what her hobbies are.

Right, right, right. So we did spend the end portion of the interview talking about that, what Christian's referring to. and I won't give any specifics, but we ask her about her taste in film, and she rattled off seven films I've never heard. Right. And they're not, and they're not,

they were Japanese, like they're all foreign films. Not adult entertainment. No. Like, yeah, cinema. And she's, she,

that's her, that's what she does. And we were like, oh, you want to come talk movies with us sometimes? She was like, yeah, I'm not like that into what you guys talk about.

And I was like, oh my God. She's like, mainstream. stuff is that but I but what I did do because her publicist follows up and really had a good time with the interview and I definitely pitched her coming on to like a five-minute segment of Penny's picks you know what I'm sad that we didn't get to I had a whole section of my notes that I wanted to ask about but we just ran out of time sure I'm curious her thoughts on like Bonnie Blue

and like I don't even know what that is remember the woman who had sex with a thousand men in one day Oh, oh, okay. Like the more gimmicky sex workers. Well, you know, but this is what I got from her, and I feel like you did too. And because we asked the question about it. It's like it doesn't, and we both, afterwards, we both said the same thing. It seems like a very tough, tough business to be in, in general, not only for the self-conscious element of it all, but just like, it's just like, it's just a tough business to be in. She did not feel that way.

No. And she. No, because she's important to do it. It's why. She's generally. Yeah. There are people that you can. And this is just, and regular acting everything, too.

When you hear someone talk, you're like, I don't know if they really love their job. She loves doing what she's doing. Like, 100%. Like she's, this is a person who just loves doing what she's doing. And you're like, oh, okay, she's like, you hear it. And I think that's, that's the appeal. That's why she's getting as popular as she is. Yeah.

Yeah, it's just interesting. Okay, so back in the day, remember when I used to host the World Girls with Dorena, Dorena used to always point this out that she was like, every time I tell somebody that I'm, Polly, their response is always like, I could never be Polly. And she's like, that's such a weird response because nobody's asking you to be. Like nobody wants you to be. So I didn't want to do that to Penny when she was talking about the industry.

But at some point I said like, I could never do what you're doing. And I didn't mean it out of like an area of judgment more. You didn't come off that way. But as I was thinking about it, I'm just like, that sounds so difficult. Like when she tells us about that questionnaire that they have to fill out and how she fills that out. Right. I would need a fucking break. I know.

It's, it is, it's fascinating. We accomplished exactly what we wanted to in an interview was talking to, because say what you will, especially because what they allow on, on X and everything to. It's a pop culture thing.

I mean, not your pop culture thing, but it is clearly. And you said that there and she was like, mm-hmm. Yeah. And clearly. the audience, when you opened up, like, you opened up the floodgates,

they're all very aware of a lot of different people in that business. But I wanted to approach it that way. And I think that's exactly what we did. But, you know, Luke did the thumbnail for it. You want to see the thumbnail? I want to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's great.

Oh, yeah. That's great. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, and it's perfect. Yeah. It's like, that's exactly. I mean, I think that's a shot that they sent from the, uh, the public. I wonder, though, like, is it, and I saw the other interviews did similar stuff.

Do we not need something more specific, like on, da-da? No, I'll put that in the title. I'll put it in the title. Yeah, it looks really good. Yeah, I think that up top, that's, that's it. The interview right now is supposed to drop tomorrow at probably 1 p.m. I just got to see if we get so. So are you doing a show tomorrow first?

No, I'm just going to drop it as the show tomorrow. Okay. What is, then I'll probably do a show on my. channel tomorrow i'll plug um just don't do it at the same time that the interview jobs no no i'll do it before because you said one p.m yeah yeah um what is yeah yeah what is a thing obviously without spoilers what's the thing that surprised you the most about her her the interview i i think what we just said is how much like she just really shoot off right away that it was a tough business i i mean i every time you hear most people talk about it

it's how tough and hard the business is. She said that she, her answer, again, two things. One, the fact of the way she answered that and two, how much I believed her. Like I believe, like something like, you're saying that because you're in the business. But I'm like, no, this person 100% just is, likes doing what she's doing and shows the path because she likes it. Not because she, I mean, we didn't really dive too deep into her, you know, a personal history. like, you know, growing up

and you had done some research on it, but. Yeah, because she was an evangelical Christian, grew up in a very Christian household, doesn't speak to her parents anymore, doesn't speak to her siblings. Okay, well, that'll do it. So, you know, but the thing about that, Christian is like,

we don't really need to dive into it because I don't really have any questions on that. Like, that kind of is what it is. It wasn't necessary. That's how you grew up. And I already know, that's information is out there. You do not speak to your family. family, they are Christians in a way that they don't support what you do and you didn't want to be part of that.

So that kind of is what it is. Like, what's the question on that? Like, how do you feel about that? You know, it wasn't really what the interview was about. For me, I feel like the most surprising part was learning more about the porn industry in terms of I didn't realize that they're all together, like that they all are dating each other, at least in her. So there's interdating stuff. There's a lot of interdating. A lot of them are Polly.

A lot of them are by. A lot of them. Like she, I think at some point it says like she couldn't really ever date somebody not in the industry. And I didn't realize that it was that much like if you don't do what we do, you don't understand what we do. I was,

I didn't know that. Yeah. It kind of makes sense, right? Yeah, totally. It's based off the questions that we were kind of asking about. because she's dated some she, I think she's married, somebody outside of the business. And I don't care if you accept it or not, you know, it's going to, where you going, honey, going to work?

What are you doing? I'm going to watch Netflix. You know, because I know what she's doing at work. She opened up to us a little bit about how her ex-husband felt about her being in the industry. Right. Which that was interesting, too. But, yeah, I mean, I could have done another hour with her. Like, I'm curious how she feels.

we did talk a little bit about only fans and specifically in regards to her, which she'll talk about, but you guys will hear. But I am kind of curious her thoughts on some of the more popular people who started on Only Fans didn't pivot to Only Fans. And I'm also curious, I told you about this beforehand, but like, how does she feel about like, like, you look at, she's so much lingerie. Is it celebrity lingerie? Does she think that their lingerie sucks? Is it stupid? Like, you know, I like the celebrity. Next time.

Next time. So when she comes on, I've got more questions for you, Penny. Yeah, a lot. I'm a nice lady. Answer my question. It's true. You can just DM her. So, dear Penny. Yeah, dear Penny. I know you'd say I'm a nice lady. I have some questions. I have a bunch of questions. So that is dropping tomorrow once again. That will be up tomorrow at 1 p.m. East Coast time. It's a really good picture of her. I think so, too. This is what the, um, the publicist sent that over too.

There were four pictures. That was the one I thought would be safe to put on the thumbnail. Yeah, you sent me another. It wasn't anything like scandalous. It was just sexy. Yeah. Yeah. That I don't think could have made the cut as much.

But, oh, tell me if you, there was no comment from you about this. What do you mean? I reposted it. I know, but you don't realize what we did. Oh, I do know exactly what you did. Oh, okay. So this was a Frankenstein. Of course it was.

Okay. Because you had, because you had to make sure that we all, the one with her, you couldn't see me. And the one with me was not the best free from her. It was blurry. Yeah, it was blurry. And Luke did that as well. Speaking of Frankenstein, I saw exactly what you did. I saw the bride last night.

You see it? No, I have to hold off because I'm covering it for rejects. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm bummed about that. Well, I'm happy to cover it for them, but I really want to see the movie. out of the theater with Withering Heights Christian I'm not okay that's an that well that's gonna be

that's gonna be out soon so you will check that one out but out of the theater for I can give I'll give my spoiler free or no out of the theater I can't social still I don't the review embargo doesn't drop for the bride soon but I can talk about hoppers in a second The bride until when? I think a couple days I got to look at what that is I know the social you already posted your social social is but the embargo itself for the review doesn't um doesn't drop for a couple of social social embargo already dropped but

you posted your social the bride embargo i i posted the social for the bride for the bride yeah yeah so um it takes a lot of wild and crazy swings which i liked right and it's my my biggest thing for me is i didn't i hadn't seen any trailers i had you know i knew that i knew that i knew that Maggie Gyllenhaal directed and wrote it. I knew that Bale was playing the monster. I knew that Jesse Buckley was paying the bride. That's all I knew going into it. I didn't know anything about the error that they were tackling.

I didn't see any trailers. I didn't do anything from that? I just knew that I wanted to see it. And I'll tell you, do you know why I wanted to see this movie the most? No. Jesse Buckley. I was going to say that,

but you haven't said one word about her. I have. Maybe not on the shows of you. The audience will probably combat you on that only because of this. I did not watch Fargo. I didn't watch anything that she was in. So you were probably... Your nails.

What's that? Fingernails is a movie she did. I loved. Oh. So you know, so you're very familiar with her. Yeah, I love Jesse. He's amazing.

Okay. So I was not familiar with her until Hamnet. Okay. Everyone's raving about Hamnet and I watch it. I think it's one of the best performances in the last 15, 20 years. I think it's, it is to me, it blew me away. So I said that person is a superstar. Like that's not like a movie star.

like just one of the best working after one performance one performance so that's one of the that I saw that's one of the best working actors working today how is she in the bread incredible okay incredible yeah tell me more but I just wanted to know I'm sure goes back and forth in and out of a different of two different dialects and she is she's brilliant the chemistry with her and bail is worth the ticket price alone she's sweeping the awards right now she's sweeping Sleeping. So, Bail and her are, you know, it's like a Bonnie and Clyde type thing. Okay.

There's a, that aspect of the movie I really enjoyed. There's another thing going on that is really confusing. Throughout the whole, it sets it, and it's an, and I was like, this is interesting the way they're doing this, but I don't know what ever delivers. So it's a little messy, the movie, but intriguing. Never boring. Graphic, but never boring. Just, I thought, you know, I wanted to love it and said, okay. but but but for those two alone it was great watching them do what they did so that to me was worth it

i don't think it's going to be for everybody um the other thing that i am clearly in the minority is people are loving hoppers loving it 97 percent i've never been so surprised about reviews for movie that i was that really wasn't much on my radar and then all of a sudden i woke up i was looking at, 97% respondents and people were saying this is like the best movie in decades. That's crazy. Definitely the best Pixar movie. That's great. Well, yeah. People were just raving about it.

So I, I, it's another one that I liked. I thought it was a really good Pixar movie that I would absolutely take my eight year old to see. I think it would do very well because as I say, all the damn time, nothing out there for kids to see right now. This will be something for, for families to go and check out.

So I thought that, and this is the thing, though, and I, and I, I'm going to release my review for it right after this show. If the jokes work, if they throw a lot of jokes at you, if, if 90% of the jokes work for you, you're going to love this movie. Okay. 45% of the jokes work for me. Everybody's comparing it to Avatar. Is there any? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's, I'll tell, in the story itself, you see it in the trailer. if you haven't seen the trailer. No, I haven't seen one trailer. Okay, so it's essentially this girl. She's 19-year-old girl. She had this, she was kind of, you know, always loved the animals and everything, too. And she winds up, like, she has this relationship with her, her grandmother, shows her, brings her to nature, brings her to this place when she's younger. And then our story takes place when she's 19 years old.

Her grandma has passed on. Her grandma basically says, listen, you got to take, you got to, I need you to watch over this land and make sure that the, that, you know, the animals and everybody are good. So of course there's a there's a mayor played by John Hamm. He wants to knock down the whole, this whole area so they can build a highway over it. Right. So she needs to figure out a way to make sure that she can stop. Yeah.

So it happens to be some scientists who work on animals and things, but I mean, not working on an experiment on animals, but working on robotic animals where you can put your consciousness into it, Avatar. So you're going in to save the environment. Don't tell me more. That's the story.

You're going in to save the environment through using an avatar. And so I think that there's a lot of kind of cliche things. You know exactly where the story is going. But I think that the best thing is, Bobby Moynihan is great in this as the king. Yeah, I'm looking at the cast right now. Jimmy, Dave Franco, like you said, John Hamm, Sam Richardson. A lot of. So also like heavy buried in there is Merrill Street.

Yeah, it's like a little fun thing. Yeah, it's not a main thing. But she's, but the movie is definitely enjoyable. I don't find it to be one of those magic inside out, Finding Nemo type of, oh, it's going to be in that echelon. I don't see that. But 97% tells me other, maybe tells me otherwise, but I feel like it's good.

Is it a tearjerger? I can definitely see where it would be for some people, for sure. I have no soul. that's not true you cry no but i'll tell you i was sitting next and i said this and i'll i'll repeat myself and still my own thing again i was sitting next to these two guys who might as well been watching george carlin in 1978 they were like dying laughing crying laughing i like hooting and hollering and everything they're like real out like screeching is it seems like in front of me too so there was there was a lot of that happening um and as a critics

the screening. Christian, as you're about to have your own show and you're about to be young and hip again, we got to ditch hooting and hollering from... No way. No way. We can no longer be hooting and hollering. I'm going to do this. I'm going to hoot and holler. I almost guarantee you they were not hoot and hollering.

They were hooting and hollering and hollering. And they were dope and fresh. That's better. Right. Them being dope and fresh is better. than them hooting and hollering. This is the best comment of the day. Hooting and hollering? That's great.

Yeah, they might have been hooting, but I don't think. They're hooting and hollering. They were doing both. And that's, I'll tell you, remember my old bit about how you got to bring back old sayings? That's one I would add in there. No one hoots and hollers anymore. No one who,

yeah, and you can't claim they do because they don't. No one hoots. No one hooters is, no one's flabbergasted as much as they used to be. What would hooting and hollering even look like at hoppers? I know. I'm telling you. Woo,

woo, woo, woo, woo, whoa. The guy was so loud. And I couldn't say anything. He was enjoying the movie. No, of course not. But it was the same guy, like it was, and I talked about this when the news broke, I was at that screening. It was right before the screening started where the news broke about Paramount buying Warner Brothers.

Same guys acted as if someone. got shot in the face in front of them. And then guys in front, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, boolering and ballering. Um, that's my best yet.

It was good. I liked it. So anyway, both those movies, um, saw both of them. Both the out of the theater reactions are in there. Review for hoppers coming, review for bride coming. And then I'm going to see Project Hail Mary tomorrow. Fuck me. So.

Where are you seeing? it in the city where I always see it send me that contact are you gonna go oh I just want the same contact that it's the same oh no it's not the same contact no you know what's funny about that one I couldn't find that one because well so I reached I reached that one I reached out to them earlier and I was like you know trying to find like yeah yeah we'll get you on and then I said everybody in there I thought everybody and your mother went and saw it and I'm like and I'm like what the hell's going on so I wrote back like oh we got another one coming up I'm like okay I'm glad that I'd get to go to this one, but I wouldn't like to text me. Yeah.

Off the record. That sounded like it came from your ass. Good. It's a good one, right? Yeah. It's just F-R-R-R-R-T. Try it. Well, you got to use the F-F.

Yeah. No, what's the T-S-Hish at the end? Why'd you go for her to? Well, you said T. No, just a long F and then R-R-R-R-R-R-R-T. Okay. try try it.

You're using an A. Not using too much mouth. You're like, just like this. Watch, watch, watch, watch. Like a horn. Okay.

What's the, what's the extra breath up top? You got to do that. You have to master this so you can do it a real reject. Yeah, I'm really, I'm really not getting it.

So try again. All right. I don't know that I'm capable. Probably not. We'll come back to it though. You're going, you're going, you're going, wait, so you're not taking a breath? No, just right into it.

Your cheeks are puffing out. So they shouldn't. Yeah, more lips, less mouth. What the hell's that? It's like a fish caught in a trap. What happened? I tried to get rid of my cheeks. You try to get rid of them?

Yeah, and do more mouth. Okay. That sounds like a bird that just will not, won't leave the house. I don't get the, I don't get, I don't get it. You don't get the, that's clear rocks. It's that easy. And right out, see, when I do it, this is what happens.

Watch. Did you shit in there? Say? Fart. You're like crying now. I know. One part out of devastation that I'll never be able to fart. Well, that's true.

You can't, you can't, you can't even far from your mouth. I know. I just your ass. All right, listen. I got things to talk about that we need to discuss when it comes to the James. They're all liars at home if they claim that they didn't just all try this. Everyone is tried it. Everyone tried it.

Now, I want you to be honest in the chat. How many of you guys got it? You did it successfully, yeah. Let me know if you're like me and you can't figure out really what he's doing. Saul better send this clip to Smet's. Spence's been doing that. Do you notice? Are you proud of me?

You know, it's been posting more on social? Yeah, I do notice it, but then there's some issues with it. What's the issues? I'll tell, like, sometimes your text is over the face, and sometimes the text needs to be moved in them. You got, yeah, see, good notes. Luke, Saul, tell Kevin this. So what are the notes?

Give me the notes. Well, it's like about specific, wherever you want, that time I see a video, I can give you specific notes. Okay, let's have more. Okay, let's see, let's see. Okay, 80%. there. Nope, can't do it. Thank you for being honest, Jay Robbins. Thank you. You're the only

honest one of the bunch. Hootie, hollering, pooping, and farting. That's the name of this show. Okay. We're going to be back in a second because we'll be back. Because we have a lot, we have a lot to discuss. We're going to talk about the James Gunn thing. We're going to talk about this Game of Thrones thing, which I'm really excited about. But before, as I was mentioned, Pony Barber, Roxy, how great is it, do you know who tomorrow's sponsor is for the Penny Barber interview? want to guess but I don't want to get it wrong. That's good. That's probably smart. I am going to tell you it's the same sponsor that we're going to tell you right now.

Ruggiette, baby. Always excited to have Ruggiette. And like I said, perfect for the interview tomorrow too. And I hope you guys are checking it out. And make sure I've given any sub to Spotify. Make sure you do that. Apple podcast, all that. Roxette, I don't think you heard it.

But did you guys hear, I'm going to a little, little peek behind the curtain when I was shooting that the Rougiet ad. Can you guys hear me kind of giggling a little bit when I was, when I was reading that at the end? Tell me yes or no in the chat. And I'll let everybody know, kind of. Could you hear me yelling during it or no? But I have a 12-year-old that lives in my head. You guys know that. I was, I shoot the, basically I shoot the ads.

And then I give my. honest assessment of them and then I send them off to Jonathan. The laugh you can see halfway through is because I ripped a really loud one into the microphone and sent it to Jonathan without telling him. So,

consummate professional. 100%. No, and he said any, and his text was amazing. It's like it took me every, it took everything out of me, not to leave that in there. But, you know, I took a break and it me a while to get it together.

So that's what happens here. And when people say you're, you're so immature, 100%. And if I, but would I be me if I wasn't immature, Roxy? But it's like you can't call yourself immature and then hoot and hooter. Both. Because then you're like mature. Yeah. Well, either way, I wish the unedited, I wish I could even play the unedited.

I don't know if I can. I can't even find it. I don't know if I have it. I haven't. I don't know if I have it. Is that the one that I said was it from the other day? That's Friday. I might have.

You haven't even told me what Roka got yesterday. I will tell you in second. Can you hear this, Roxy? Hold on. No. You can't hear that. Okay. Forget it.

I don't know if I can. Yeah, good game. So Roka is at 53 right now. Okay. You can be 53. You have 15 currently. Yeah. them not my goal is not to beat 53 my goal is to win the week sure i almost did last week yeah you were

close and they they were signing off and then you know then they had a couple and they came back at the end um but it was that you you caught a raw raw uh deal because um the the the paramount news broke the night before i know yeah so that was that was it well i guess i was going to say no that's not really a full topic today but actually is part of one so we'll we'll get to it all right let's just get to this. Let's talk about this. Let's do it, Christian. I think we should do it. Okay, let's get to the story itself. And the story is speculations that James Gunn could leave DC studios in the wake of the Paramount deal. Let's see. So, that's like a door. That's like a door hinge that just isn't working right.

Speculation amounts that James Gunn could leave. We shall see. Mark Cassidy. Several insiders believe that DC Studios co-CEO, James Gunn, will ultimately decide to part ways with the company following the Warner Brothers Discovery Paramount merger. Could James Gunn step away as the DC Studios co-CEO in the wake in the announcement that Paramount Skydance will soon take over? Gunn has previously made it clear that his contract would remain secure,

regardless of the outcome. This was back when Netflix seemed likely to come out on top, And Paramount's David Ellison is assured that everything will continue to operate as normal when it comes to Warner Brothers theatrical output. This doesn't mean that Gunn will want to be associated with the studio under the Paramount Banner, however. Speculation is mounting, the man of the man of gun. That gun could decide to step down from his current position once he completed Man of Tomorrow. Here's what Campia said on his show. He said, I am 100% sure that before the end of the year, James Gunn is going to go to David Zazlov and say,

It's been nice, but there's no way I'm working for those guys. So you can please let me out of my contract. I think Zazov will let him out of his contract. I think he's going to end up back at Marvel, and he will become Kevin Feige's heir apparent to take over Marvel after Kevin Feigey finally goes. That's an interesting twist. That's what I think's going to happen.

That's the roadmap that I can see happening. Campia says he has no unsaid information, and this is simply how he sees the situation playing out. I just can't imagine a scenario that James Gunn, because we all know how James Gunn feels about Trump, whether you think he's right to feel that way or whether you think he's wrong. to feel that way. We know how James Gunn feels about Trump and the Ellison's are Trump's little F toys. Can't be what I want to say. So I just don't see any reality in which

James Gunn stays. He's going to quit. Okay, let's say while there's always a chance Gunn does call it today, we don't see it happening anytime soon. We can't imagine he's overjoyed about the merger, but he has invested way too much in the development of the DCU. So what I think is interesting. It's Campion makes it pretty clear that he doesn't have any insight information, just what he thinks. And yet he's 100% sure. That's what he thinks in his mind. He said, I'm 100% certain. So I could say, you know, I mean, I guess, well.

Come on, Christian. I know. This is not me. Listen, I have, I have barely any. 100% is. Just, you cannot, don't be a pundit who comes out and says you're 100% certain about something. And yet you have no insider information. You think you might have information.

Well, one of two things. Either you're not fucking 100%. certain and then don't say you're 100% certain or you have insider information and you stepped it back and said I'm 100% certain but I don't know anything and and I think it's probably the former because I don't think that he has insider information about that even if he does it might be speculation insider information that that might happen not that it has happened he might also be protecting whatever if there is somebody who told them that that he wants to protect and says if that is the case it's not a sign sealed deliver thing to be 100% sure certain I just think it's so still well look I'm 100% certain that, that Filoni wasn't a fan of the way Andor was portrayed Star Wars. I'm 100% sure of that, you know, so take that as you will. So when you get to this, though. That's so different, Christian. 100%, 100%.

100%. So when you get to this, though, let's get away from whether or not we know it was inside information or opinion. The subject is important. Yeah, I'm interested in the topic. So the subject for me of is Gunner just asked to get out of his contract? I don't think so because his contract ends in 2027. At the end of, I believe. I don't see a world where this Paramount deal starts,

they start making decisions and movies by the time. I don't think, I think that there's a very good possibility, depending on the meetings that he has with the new bosses, if even takes the meeting, that he doesn't renew his contract. but asking to be let out of his contract or being terminated, I don't see happening. I'm not even focused on that part of this conversation as much as I don't feel like it is as set in stone that gun wouldn't want to stay on.

I'm not saying that it's his preference to work under the paramount purchase of Warner Brothers, but he's starting an entire universe. And there is a world in which the Ellison's come in and they say, the universe that you have done up to this point is making money. You know, we'll see how Supergirl does. We'll see how Clayface does. We'll see how we'll see how lanterns do.

We'll see. There's a world in which these businessmen come in and say, you are building something right now. You have strategized a 10-year plan. You, Gunn and Safran, you guys are making the studio money. We actually are not planning on putting our dick in the soup at all. and would like to see you ride this out. And in which case, Godin says, great, I've been working really hard at this.

I've put a lot of time and energy into this. And I would like to stay making the entire universe that I've made. There's a world in which that happens. Totally. And I said as much the other day, and that was one of the shorts that we put up, right? That pretty much I'm on the same page as you are. However, I don't know how much it's going to play into what kind of relationship they're going to have. Because I do think, and people don't agree with me on this.

And I think you will. I think the shows like the Colbert's obviously and CNN and those things, that's going to change the dynamic of it. Now, whether or not it goes far right or not, I don't know, but it's going to change. There's going to be things on that network that change. I think that was one of the major things was shifting and changing part of the media structure, especially with midterm and other stuff, things happening and the way it's going to play out eventually. But when it comes to movies, as you just said, it is a business, right? So if Man of Tomorrow and Supergirl, both and Clayface, all three of them overperform,

if you're a good business person, why do you want to mess with the person who's going to be, you go four for if you include Superman? Now, that being set, I've said this, and I don't know where you stand on Supergirl. I'm sure we have the conversation. I think Supergirl will be lucky to make its budget back. I think it's, I think Supergirl will just make its, we'll break even. What's just going to break it? It's too expensive.

What's his budget? 200 million. It's too expensive for, I mean, Superman barely what? Did 600 or something? Whatever it was? I don't remember what the final number was on Superman, but Superman. Supergirl should not be $200 million on a, no matter how good the property is. So I think, and plus with the marketing, it's going to need to make, you know,

at least $400,420 million. So I think it'll just get close to that. Hopefully it does. But I don't know. That's tough. Lanterns, we'll see what kind of critical response it's got. That's where, as you know, is the TV guru. We still don't know how the hell they justify a success on TV, really.

And then the man of tomorrow could perform pretty well, but we'll see. was the 624 is what it made 624 when people were and you know a lot of people thought a billion and that didn't even come close to it by 200 million is that was not a good call no yeah that movie really needed to come in at 150 or below um yeah that's that's not learned and grow go by that yeah but who like we're both saying the same thing yeah as people that being said they're also politically incentivized to do certain things. So I'm not saying that they will just be business people. They just might.

We don't know. Right. We don't know. That's why I would never use the sentence. I'm 100% sure. You never know unless you heard, unless you heard something directly. And just because I know this is going to come up in the chat afterwards and I know the comments afterwards, I have no qualms with him.

This is so not a campy thing. people were like, oh yeah, he really wronged Roxy. I've never worked like that. Campia's never wronged me. I've actually had no negative interaction. You would say you'd say this if anybody said that. Yeah, for sure. If Christian Harlov said that, I would come back at you and say, you're 100% sure. You would say, you 100% would say that to me.

That's exactly what I say. So there's nothing, I think he was, he probably was using it as a turn of phrase. And we all. I think he was also protected. I think he's probably protecting somebody. If I was possible, but if he is protecting somebody, what could that person possibly have said to him. Talk to James Gunn. He's out. He's out even before having the conversation with Zazov. James Gunn is, James Gunn is already, you know, I'm not saying this is what he said. I wouldn't be surprised if he talked to someone that someone's like, look, Gunn wants nothing to do with this. Gun's going to do Manette's Marr and then he's out of here. But what do you think

about the second part of that, which is what you started this with, which would Zazlov even be able to let him out of the contract because his contract would be ending. I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know how that's going to work. He's not just one person. I know that all these headlines are James Gunn leaves, James Gunn leaves, but it's James Gunn and Peter Safran. And Peter Safran is the money businessman of the two of them, less into creative. So, yeah, I don't know.

And also, I do think that there is merit to staying in a system that doesn't work in order to enact change. And if the Ellison's do really say, Gun, you get to have creative freedom here, which I don't know whether they would say or not, if they say that, if they say that, you and he wants to leave anyway, it doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't make sense to me. Because just because you don't like somebody's politics

doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying to put your message out there for millions of people. And instead, you just go to the people that already agree with you politically because that place is more comfortable for you. That's what causes more divide. We see it every day. So, you know,

I would hope that if the Ellisons are, give him creative freedom, which is going to probably be based on finances, that he wouldn't just bail on something that we're all now invested in. Because then think about what that actually means for DC, Christian. Let me ask you this. So say that Campia is right here.

Say that Zavloff, that gun's done. The gun is done. Yeah. So what that would mean is come 2028, there's no more gun. Would that mean to you, do you think that- Reset? Or does that mean that somebody picks up where a gun left off? I think that's, well, the common sense version of that would be,

now when you're painting that scenario, are you painting a scenario? When does he leave? I'm going to ask you a couple questions. In your scenario, when, when. So he leaves in 2020. Okay. So in your scenario, how did Supergirl do?

Breaks even. How did Lanterns do? What was a critical response? Really good. How'd Clayface do? Made money. How did Superman Man at Tomorrow do? Made money.

Then I continue doing it. Then I say, okay, look, you're out. We're going to continue these storylines because clearly it's working. It's like, you know, if you're working on a TV show and the showrunners leave, and it's a popular show, you keep going. It doesn't mean that the show is going to still be good. I mean, look at Dexter, look at a lot of these shows that happened. They didn't stop making it.

Sometimes they do. But if it's popular and people are watching them, people are going to know, what are you doing? Why am I getting invested in this? And you just stop, whether guns there or not. Okay. So same scenario, but everything has just done, okay, broken even. Everything did the level that Superman did. Let's still make money.

I mean, ish. You think, I mean, it didn't. People still don't understand when that whole story. We don't really dive into it. When that whole Ted Sarando's thing came when they were asking him questions and he was talking about. And he talked about everyone was like, oh, look, he said that Superman was a fan. Failure. No, he said that Superman was a disappointment in the projection, right? Compared to expectations. 100%. And like, we just, look, when I asked Roxy about it and other people on this show for a bit, Winston, Winston had it in the high nines. Roxy had it over a bill. And they weren't crazy takes. That's what people. I had it over a bill. Yeah, you did. But, but, but that's not, but it's not a crazy take. It's because of the first Superman movie coming back, DC people were excited about it. The guy who had so much success at Marvel understood it.

I didn't ever see it getting to that level, but that I was in the minority. A lot of people did. So I think that, you know, if you can, when St. Saranos is saying that, he's talking about, look, they thought it was going to hit this. So instead, they pulled it back and they released it.

And what they also don't understand is it made a lot of money when, because everybody was saying, this is too soon. They're putting it on there. It's going to take away from the box office. It didn't take away from the box office. And it actually added more because you had to buy it on, if you wanted to watch it on digitally,

to buy it for like 25 bucks. You couldn't see to see it on HBO Max. That helped it with a little more revenue as well. It turned out to be a pretty smart move. So, you know, it just means it didn't, it definitely was disappointing, but it wasn't a failure. There's a difference between the time.

Okay. So let me rephrase the question. Let's say that nothing, everything breaks even. Nothing moves the needle forward, but it's not a huge drain. and or everything is slightly losing, slightly losing. I think so.

What do you do, though? Blows it up. Yeah, but what do you do then? You just got to put it on the shelf for a couple of years and bring in. Then don't do any DC. You sit on DC with no... Not for too long. Not for too long.

You start getting people excited about it and bring in new people again. I mean, it's just... And then you start the universe with Batman instead? You're going to have to. I think you kind of... You've got to bring Batman in soon, though. Like that, especially if you're over there to, you got to bring Batman. You got to get Wonder Woman.

I think they should have done that and get them all going because it's in the same way, Iron Man, Captain America. You got to take all your hitters, bring all your hitters. And they waited on Spider-Man because they didn't have Spider-Man. Nobody seems to have casting issues as up to up to this point, right? Like, I just don't know that recasting Superman would be helpful. regardless. Right.

Because you just had another Superman and it's like again, I mean, it's, it would be messy if they, they reset it. So they, they need it to do well. They needed to do well. And here's the other question, though, too. I guess, I guess the answer is, well, you're under contract, tough shit. Like if David Cornswit and those people didn't want to, if gun did leave and they didn't want to stick around, tough shit.

I'm sure that they all signed at least six movie deals. Like, yeah. That's one of the things about getting unknown actors or less known actors is that they will sign those deals because they have to. Yeah. That's why that's why they didn't get Joaquin Phoenix to do Dr. Strange. Because what? He said only one picture deal and they yeah, he didn't want to sign multiple deals. They're like, no, we need you for this whole MCU. He's like, no. I remember that story like it was yesterday. We were covering on schmose. I get that when you're established and you don't want to be tied down to something for a decade

of your life. To me, that would be a dream, but I understand if you're walking Phoenix, why that would not be. I actually can't see anybody outside of Bennett and a comeback during it now, but who knows. Anyway, when it comes to this merger, I still, I mean, because some people send in the chat, I guess Roco and Snyder reporting that the Ellicence could take over as soon as September. How could that be possible? I mean, I guess, look, you've got buddies high enough up, and they can push the paperwork fast that I just can't see it happening with all the things, all the things they got to jump, hoops, they got to jump through and everything. I mean, September would be, insane.

Right. Insane. I cannot see it happening that fast. But I have, what I will say. Are you 100% certain? No, I have not about this topic anymore.

I'll tell you what, because as much as I was tooting my own horn before, is that another one, rocks, toot my own horn? Before I was tooting my own horn a little while ago about the Superman prediction, I have never been more wrong when it's come to this topic. I'm wrong. At first, I was like,

you and me both. I was like, Netflix isn't interested in this. I'm not going to even take an attempt to try to do this. And then, oh, they're in it. They're really in it. Ah, they're not going to get it. There's nothing that's going to have that. I mean, I was right and wrong, but at the time, wrong.

Paramount is going to get it. There's no way Netflix is going to get it. Netflix guts. And then it's like, oh, well, Paramount's coming back again. No, just give it up. They're not going to do. This is over. You're just, you know, you're banging your head up against the wall.

They're not going to get it. They have a sweet deal. that doesn't matter wrong. I've said nothing right about this topic. So whether or I think guns are going to stay, even if I told you he's staying, then bet the bank that he's gone. If I told you that he's gone,

bet the bank that he's staying. I am so often on this topic. Okay, so instead of predicting, let me just ask you this, do you hope that gun stays? I'd like to see him do these three movies. I'd like to see the scenario that we just painted. Let's,

he's got projects, coming up, let's see how those projects do. And then, A, if he wants to keep doing it and it's successful, then they should have the conversation. B, if they all, if I'm hoping, look, this is what I hope. I hope I'm wrong because I am not excited about Supergirl. Supergirl, the only reason that I'm interested in it is because I keep hearing how great the girl of tomorrow. storyline is. It's apparently one of the best written comics

in the last like 10 years. I just reread it. And it's great, right? I mean, I've always loved it. Everybody loves it. Now, if they actually adapt that and the story plays in the way that everybody else is raving about it, I'm going to be pleasantly surprised.

The trailers have done nothing for me. The trailers just look like, you know, Gun gave Gillespie notes and said, make it look like I directed this. Yeah. So, but I hope we're wrong. Clayface is I'm very excited about. Hmm. Okay. Unrelated to D.C. for a second, just because we're on the topic of the merger, now that you and I are talking about this, as if this is 100% signed seal delivered and Paramount is purchasing Warner Brothers.

Are you concerned about the amount of debt that Paramount already has and taking on this debt that the entire studio may in fact fold? I had this exact conversation last night with a fellow critic. One of the guys I've met in New York. Really nice guy. One of the hoot and hollering kids? No, he doesn't do a hollering kid. I have conversations with him every time I go into the theaters. He's a really nice guy.

And so we were talking about it last night. He's convinced that even if it goes through this deal, that the studio will fold in about three or four years, the amount of debt that they have. the reason that I think there's a way around that is because they are buying everything, right? They're getting everything. And they're getting, you know, the theme parks and other things. And maybe that there's a way that they can spin it around and turn it around to start making, you know, to try to bury some of that debt.

But if they're not making movies, like they they reannounced because that was the other topic that kept coming up last night. I guess the Ellison said he wanted to do 30 movies a year, but then rescinded on that, and it looks like it's going to be more like 15 years or something along those lines. If those 15-plus movies, what they're doing, and they have a couple of really good years, and right now, Abdi and DeLuca, you got to keep them on because they're on a hot streak and keep them on, if they're able to do what they did, and it's not easy, but they're able to do what they did for the last couple of years consistently, then they probably buy themselves some time.

but if they have shit ears and people and people are not wanting to work with them it's a possibility the whole thing folds it'd be crazy how devastating for audience for people who work in this industry and for fans I know that possibility yeah how do you feel about the merger

of Paramount Plus and HBO Max um so streaming services yeah yeah so apparently again another thing this is because it's since we talked about it last um initially I was like, well, they're just going to turn it into Paramount Plus. Apparently, Ellison wants to keep the name HBO.

It's way smarter, obviously. Way smarter. And does that mean that HBO is just a thing that you find inside of Paramount Plus? Like, so when you go to Paramount Plus and there's like, you know, in the way that you do, this is to show you the kind of stuff I'm watching right now. When you go to HBO Max, you can find HGTV and you go there. but when it comes to Paramount Plus, is that what it's going to be? Because I did think that there was some merit to the fact just turned it all into Paramount Plus.

And that's where it's a Paramount Plus show now. But getting rid of the HBO name is just, that's going back to what you just said. Not maybe that to the extent, but getting rid of that name is pretty devastating. I'm so worried about this. I'm trying to be an optimist and we don't know how the Ellisons are going to deal with this. but even if it was Netflix, even if it's anybody. Yeah. It's just the industry is not moving in a direction that is anything but alarming.

I know. It's it, it would have been, look, it would have been alarming with Netflix as well. Maybe not to, I don't know. Either way, but we're also in debt. Yes. And the big concern with Netflix that is not there paramount is the theatrical, right? They're committed to theatrical paramount, 100%. It's the working environment.

People like, and here's the other thing. If people do make this a political thing overall, right, you're going to get it because we agree that Hollywood, for the most part, is pretty far left, right? The majority of people who are working in it, a lot of, not everybody, but a lot of people are pretty far left. If it becomes a political issue for actors and actresses, are they going to refuse to work for Paramount. And if they take the job,

will they be chastised the same way that, like, say, Jonathan Majors was for working with the Daily Wire? You know, I know Daily Wire is a far extreme right-wing thing. But if you look at the Ellison's that way, are people going to start saying that about something? Well, Tom Cruise just signed a movie Paramount. Ah, you signed a deal with the devil. Is that going to start happening?

I mean, If it does happen, it's less about the chastising and more about the boycotts and seeing it actually work. I mean, you know, people right now, what was that fucking Anna Camp story? She tweeted something about Scream 7 and people flipped out at her. And then she was like, I'm sorry I didn't know. Or she reposted. She was like, I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing.

She wrote, she wrote something along the lines of like, looks like those protests didn't do anything or something like that. Because it moved. She reposted something that statement. Right. Right. I didn't read the whole. Yeah. Right.

And then people were pissed at her. So, you know, now it's not just the people who are making the decisions like the people who fired Melissa Brera, which nothing for nothing. Just to remind everybody, I wholeheartedly disagreed with that decision on. But that's not the point of the show. But it's not just holding those people accountable. It's holding the actors who then stayed on to the project. and then the actors who then who post about the project accountable. So like how far does that extend?

I don't know. But by the flip side of that. And not not to say anything about what the actual post said, but the money that Scream made was the biggest opening for any screen moving. So does that just calling a spade a spade for a second, do we think that there is any merit to protesting fail, does it work at all ever? I mean, look, let's, I forget what it made.

Let's say it made 60 million opening weekend. I can't remember what I made. But let's say it made 60. Without the process, would it made 70? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. So that could be the question.

So I can't say if it had no impact because it might have made more money. And on the other side of that, same thing with the Super Bowl. Like, did whatever that thing was, remember how they did like a, like, the Palls and whatever, did that alternative viewing, the camera, whatever that was called. Did that actually take away viewership from the Super Bowl? I don't think so. But maybe, but it's the same question. It's a same question.

I'm just trying to say the two sides of the coin. 100%. Like 15 more people would have watched the Super Bowl thing instead. Anyway, all right, look, we have questions and stuff we've got to get to. So I'm going to ask you guys what you think about this topic. What do you think about guns sticking around? put your thoughts in there, let us know. But I want to get to Rocks these TV picks,

but I got to get to this story because I'm so excited about it. I really am. Game of Thrones is crushing right now. And 97 Kingdoms is very good. Bo Willemann, who did House of Cards, and Andor is developing a Game of Thrones movie for Warner Brothers and has already submitted a draft. What does that mean?

Do we know anything about it? No, I don't think so. I saw on the trending side here, I see that it's there's, oh no, it's not there anymore, but it was. It was, Robert's Rebellion was trending. And I wonder if that was being announced. I don't know if anybody else saw any little bit more detail about it, but I like him. I like what he's done. I like the idea. Now, is it going to be a movie that comes out in the theater? Is it going to be a, because the question I have about the theater movie is the same question, you know, I would have a Mandalorian and Grogue, right? It's like you've got to be a hardcore Game of Thrones fan to go out and check it out. So you can't make this movie because Game of Thrones, you assume it, depending on what it is,

would probably cost a lot of money to make depending on what it is. I think in the way that anybody can watch House of the Night of the Seven Kingdoms, that's what the movie would have to do. It would have to not just be for the Game of Thrones people. M.K. Somborg says sources tell P6H that Warner Brothers leadership team was pumped on Willemann's draft and that the storyline may center on Agon. Oh, the first who spawned the Bulgarian dynasty and United Six. That

would be great. I would love to see that. What is P6H? I don't know, but I would love to see page six. Oh, page six, yes, yes. That's exactly what is because that's what the report was. I would love to see an Agon the first movie. hear about them. But they would have to make it stand alone, right? Like, they would have to make it where if your Game of Thrones fan, it might enhance it, but that people could just go watch it if they are looking for like medieval joust it. 100%. It should be a gateway drug. Yeah. It should be a gateway drug,

especially because it takes place so many years before. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they, Game of Thrones is not misstepping right now. Not right now. We are doing a really good job, and they're picking their properties well. And it could deliver. liver on House of Dragon season three, they're going to be really good shape. Yep. Really, really good shape. So, man, smart. They're making smart decisions as a Game of Thrones fan.

Everybody after that finale, even if you, even the very few people who like the finale, like DJ Wildridge and yourself, everybody was like, I mean, the fandom is not happy right now. So what the hell is Game of Thrones going to do? And they have turned that the F around. It's because it's so rich. So rich. And this is what, again, I hate, I'm sorry guys, but this will pulls my hair out sometimes when it comes to like the Star Wars thing because Star Wars are pretty rich in that kind of

history too. They just don't do what Game of Thrones is doing and setting up little things. And they set it up so brilliantly in their other shows. Like they talk about egg in the regular Game of Thrones series. They talk about Sir Duncan. They talk about all this stuff. So like, you believe it. So when you hear it like, oh, and it's like this little Easter egg, you go back and you

find it. And you're like, oh, and then you watch how it actually happened. And you see the things that are talking. talking about they talk about the Targaryans all the damn time so like you keep hearing about the history and it just it makes it feels like ancient Rome you know the way that they do it so it's really smart I would love to see a Game of Thrones movie on the big screen I would love to see especially egg on the first you kidding like the guy who's he's like the most he's like the Michael Jordan of of Westrose everybody everybody talks about how great he was he was PG-13

they can't make this PG-13 you think it'd be an R-rated movie I would be I would be I would run Roberts Rebellion if they made a PG-13. I mean, Game of Thrones is PG-13? Who wants that? Get out of here. It's like the whole point. It's like, Lord of the Rings was the PG-13 version of Game of Thrones. Like, you know, we don't see people killing and banging. That's what that show was. Put it on a shirt.

Killing and banging. But I'm curious. Some people were writing Roberts Rebellion. That'd be curious, too. You get like a younger Ned Stark and a younger, I mean, that'd be a good way to get people in the theater too, characters that they're aware of and to see how that all went down with, with, I don't want to spoil it, Game of Thrones, but, but yeah, there's, there's a lot of history, a lot of history. So anyway, okay, whatever. So Game of Thrones is the R-rated version of Lord of the Rings. Same thing, you can get what I'm saying, relax. The Lord of the Ring fans will get their heinous.

protected. Oh, because it came first. Because I said it the opposite way. Okay. Listen, I literally don't bring it up anymore. I don't speak to those fans. I don't. I'm scared of those fans.

Right, Lord of the Rings. Yeah. I hear you. Okay, listen. Let's do this. First of all, I want to hear your thoughts on a game of thorns movie. Should it be Agon? Should it be Robert's Rebellion?

Should it be something completely different? And what do you think about who's involved? and or house of cards. That's a perfect match. That's a perfect match right there. Someone who knows it and how involved. We didn't talk about how involved is George R. and Martin going to be.

All right. So then we're going to get to the questions, but before we do it, it's time for Roxy's TV picks. She does them each and every week here on the show. We got some stuff. She's watching TV. So Roxanator is going to,

oh, let me just do this. Hold on, Sassy. There we are. All right. now we're going to get to the shows. There's the first one. The PAY is sweeping award season. They won again the SAG Awards last night.

It's an amazing show. Season two is just as good as season one, if not better, because we're more familiar with these characters. And if you're not watching the show, then you're not watching the most talked about show of the last couple of years. So to me, it's must-eat TV. Really well done.

seems like a very difficult set to be a part of really strong performances, interesting takes on things. Really good. Okay. So next one after that. Richardson had its finale. You know, the way that Netflix dropped this was they did four episodes and four episodes and two episodes or four episodes,

whatever it is. It just had its finale for the season. The season was their take on Cinderella. Oh, okay. And it was very sweet. This show, there hasn't been a, a bad season yet for me. So I really enjoy this.

This is definitely like just romance, peak romance. And you just like, you talked about wanting to watch people kill and bone. This is like, you just want to watch people make out and hold each other and dance. There's always great music.

They take really popular songs and they place them on the violin, which I work to the soundtrack all the time. It's like how you work to scores. It's so great. Yeah, they stuck the landing. Very good.

All right. So next one after that, we got so far two big shows from Rocks. What is the next one here? Okay. So I'm going to just put this here and then I'm going to come back to this in a couple of months. I am a big Apple TV fan. You guys know. So I was like, okay, what are some Apple shows that I haven't watched?

And I hadn't watched. It's a house? What? That's house, right? The actor. Oh, wow, that's such an interesting. image that they picked for this. I'm on season one.

Let's see. Because not, not for what I've seen, but it does look exactly like him there. Oh yeah. Hugh Lurie. He's in it. Was he in season one?

I guess three seasons, been on since 2020, it says. So let me tell. This is what I want to say. No, he's done eight episodes starting in the, so that's why I didn't know he's in the show.

It does look like him. So this is, okay, I want to tell you guys. I've been hearing from people I should watch the show. I was like, okay, let me watch Tehran. I put on episode one and the next day was the day that we launched missiles. I'm going to pause the show because I hear that it actually is like very life-imitating art

and it's just too difficult right now. But the pilot was unbelievable. So I did want to mention it because the show is excellent. I will finish watching it at some point. But I got through the pilot. like I cannot wait to watch this again tomorrow. This pilot was exhilarating. It was exactly what drama should be.

It was so good. And then everything happened and I was just like, oh, AVE, no, no, no. Just too much right now. I understand. That's a lot. But the show is really good. So I wanted to put it on your guys radar because I will pick it back up in a couple of months. And I'll be, I'm very intrigued to see where it goes.

They had very strong characters. Oh, so my wife is obsessed with this. Yeah. So I'm now caught up with this. watching the show with my boo. It's a good show to watch together because it's a beautiful romantic story that's got a lot of ups and down.

This is the JFK Jr. Love Story show. It's on Hulu, FX on Hulu. It's shot very artistically. There's a lot of lens flares, a lot of follow shots, a lot of shaky cam, a lot of 90s music, like the best of the love songs from the 90s. it's sad because we all know where it's going, right? So every time that they get into a fight or anytime anything happens,

if you are, I don't want to spoil the show for people, but if you know anything about the Kennedys, you know where this goes. So. Kenny's like the Starks. 100%. Some might say they're like a different house, but they,

the closest thing that this country has had to royalty is the Kennedy. And so watching this, it's really well done and very, very artistic. But yeah, Chad. Paradise is back for season two. We just had a fourth episode. Shailene Woodley joined the show. And she had the most unbelievable episode just now.

It's just they took, this is the creator of This Is Us. It feels like the creator of This Is Us is Stan Folsom in the show. It is very devastating. dating and feel good. Like they try to be optimistic through the pain and torture. And it's a really, really excellent show. I would be shocked if this doesn't start getting a lot of nominations. It's that kind of show.

Really well done. I loved that fourth episode. Real quick, Roxie, got to give a shout out here to Anthony. Anthony, Anthony is the reason why we're able to stand in the air. He's the one that gets us a lot of our sponsors. Hell yeah, Anthony. Way to go. Anthony's best. I'm supposed to get on a call with Anthony, but it didn't work out yet, but I will be, Anthony's great. So I actually, I can say that I went and I talked about this beforehand too.

I don't, I mean, a lot of times, whether it's corporate people, other things too, I don't trust people. You know, I don't, I don't really trust people. Because I don't, I think a lot of times people are out for themselves. I was very excited to find this group that I've been working with them, Lipson, his name of the group. I've been working with them now. for shit man it's got to be at least three three years but they had this thing at new york last year and um it was like drinks in the roof and just talking to the whole team like you know me if someone tells me they're going to do something and they're all talk you lose me pretty fast

if you tell me you're going to do something and then you do it you know that goes a long way with me uh and they have done that so i just want to give you anthony and and they're crew a shout-up. Sorry, Roxon to enjoy this other reason. They wanted to talk about him. So next fine, sorry, final one for you right now is the hell is this?

Taylor Tomlinson is my favorite stand-up. She dropped a special called prodigal daughter. She, to me, she's just the stand-up that I see myself in. She lost her a parent when she was young. She is like

just very, she's just great. She's a great. She's like me. She's great. She talks about the shit that I care about. She's in our 30s. She,

we've had, she was, grew up religious, which I didn't have. But other than that, we've had kind of similar experiences. She makes me like laugh out loud, the hardest.

I love her. She just dropped a new special. I don't know if it's her, it's hard for me to say which one's her best special yet. I think I've seen four of her specials. They're all great. But if you are looking for a stand-up that are special, it's an hour-long, it's excellent. She did a lot of themes of religion and dealing with grief as a kid.

She's very, very funny. I can't recommend her enough to people. I love Taylor Tomlinson. Well, there you go. Roxy's picks. So make sure you go and check out all those shows. Roxy gives you a breakdown of TV. What's Going on TV each and every week, every Tuesday.

You know, I almost didn't make today because I thought it was going to have, because they had scheduled a call at the same time. But then we moved it. So I'll be able to, I told them kind of moving forward because I wanted to do weeklies now, which is great. But I just want to make sure it's not during the show.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do the show on Tuesdays with you guys anymore. Okay, Rocks, let's do it. 31 questions. To beat Rocha, you need another 22 to tie him to really get, you know, in the lead because Mike's trying to get on the show with Steph tomorrow. I don't know how I'm going to let them on on Thursday rather. On Thursday. Yeah, I'm going to see.

Yeah. And then so Friday then it's just me and Chris on Friday. So we'll see. Where's Winston? He's not able to make it. And we might, there's a possibility that I might have to move Friday show back a little bit. I got to check with Chris if that works. But I might have to move it.

because Sam might be coming in early because we have so many Game of Thrones episode. We've been knocking them out, man, knocking them out. So, okay, let's get through the first one. Michael D. Given the chat, given the chat yesterday, we're talking more about music in the 90s. Roxy, who are your favorite bands growing up? And what are you currently listening to? I always loved the grunge music. So Soundgarden, audio slave, Nirvana.

I loved that that era when you're talking specifically 90s. My favorite band forever has been Red Hot Chili Peppers. I've always loved Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac, Eminem, and at the time, Kanye West, who I don't listen to anymore. But those were those were like my top tops. It was a big Madonna fan as well. And then of course I could see you as a kid dancing around a Madonna. Madonna, yeah, loved her, loved her. And then I loved the boy bands too.

And the girlies. I always was a big Britney fan. Yeah. Okay. All right. So next one, Johnny, Patrizza. Sam's reactions to big moments in the Game of Thrones are legendary. I'm looking forward to season five, episode 10.

I'm going to have to strap her down on that episode. I think she's going to wind up running out the door. Which one, season five, episode 10? Without spoiling, a very popular. popular character eats it. I don't even remember what you're talking about. I don't want to give it away. I'll text you.

Okay. I'll text you because she is, let's say here. She's going to be really, really pissed off when that happens. And I think, I don't know, she's going to, I think she might quit. She might five episode 10? Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.

I think she's going to threaten to quit the show. We'll see. All right. Jeremy Aldridge. I completely forgot about that whole story. Yeah, right. MCU watch-alongs. I mentioned last week still aren't YouTube, which really?

Yes, they are. Love you guys and hate to bug you, but I can't remember for them and not seeing them. Watch. Oh, the full unedited watchalongs? Jeremy? Is that what you're talking about? Because a lot of the MCU unedited

didn't should happen where there's some of them that didn't make it. And we had just kind of started getting into our rhythm probably during the middle of it. So if that's what you mean, the actual watch, the edited watchalongs, they're all in the playlist.

Luke put them all in there. But if you're talking of the unedited watchalongs, the unedited, there's only like the ones that are there, and then we've been cut now what PLD does is every time we drop anything, he puts the unedited up too. So there's quite a few that we just didn't

have the footage for her still. Jeremy Aldridge, thank you for all you do. Roxy's the best. Bless you. Roxie is the best. Thank you, Jeremy. 100%. Andy's a Franksy. I remember Sam saying she was done with Game of Thrones if anything happens. Is she still watching? We're not there yet. We're not there yet. But I think she's going to I think she's going to be pissed off. Okay. Johnny, but she's a Christian. Do you have any more so sorry lecture? I was hoping to get another one. Is it still on T-public? It might still be on T-public. you know what I'm going to have on the show soon, Rox? I mean, I don't know if you knew,

but Kevin Smith's going to start being on the show twice a month. Oh, he's coming on? Kevin's going to start joining twice a month. But I also just, David B, the great David B, who did all the music for the Shmodeown. He's coming on for a special episode because he's got a new album, new songs, and I talk to him, and he's going to come on.

Another guy, he's talking about good people. David B is, and what a talented guy he was. I would say David B, when I had an idea for a theme song for somebody, I'd be like, I wanted to be like this and this. And I'd give like little bullshit notes. It was like toned into an AI prompt. He was so good. And he would just come back exactly with what I wanted.

And he was, he was great. And because he was a wrestling guy, I knew he understood. He was great. That's awesome. Yeah. And he's Franksy. Roxy, the curly hair is the look. It looks like it's wavy more than curly.

Thank you. Right? I woke up like this. That's good. Okay. Next one. Johnny Petrieza fell down the S.E.N. Rabbit hole. Christian and Brett talking about Santa and Rob Zombie's monsters.

Roxy's Pumpkin and the guy. That's not S-E-N. That's all this show. Or when it was called Big Thing, but it was all this channel. Yeah, you don't remember Peter Pumpkin? No. Oh, it's a bit that we have on that. Well, it's a Peter.

You started talking about pumpkins or something, dude. It's actually really funny. And the guy with the communication issues, my stomach was hurting from laughing. I actually gave Gabe Smets that playlist. But yeah, Johnny, that's all, that's not S-E-N. That's all, that was all big thing, but it's all in this channel. Yeah. Michael D.

Jesse Buckley is amazing in Chernobyl. Oh, you know, I never saw that show either. If you haven't reacted to it, it's worth it. I'll be at a very dark subject tragic event, but it's amazing cast. It's a great show. I actually do think that those reactions might perform. Really? I was just going to say.

Only because that's a show that still gets referenced all the time. Wow, okay. I'm not sure. I've never seen it. I've never seen it, so I don't know. I'm trying. So we're working on right. This one I don't know if it's going to do well, but I have to show it.

And it's a shorter movie. Steph, when this show is over, is going to do Ferris Bueller's Day off. She's never seen it. So we're doing Ferris Bueller. I think that will do well, but is it tied to anything? I don't know. Ming's coming in and he's going to do either once upon a time in Hollywood or the scary movies because he hasn't done that.

I don't think I've ever seen the scary movies. I think I've seen bits and pieces of them. Any of them? Bits and pieces. I don't think I've ever seen them all the way through. So do you know what this? This is, take my strong hand, child. No idea what that is.

All right. Well, then. No. So I don't, I've never, I think I've seen bits and pieces of it. Why is she so beautiful? I appreciate it, but I do go by he, him. The little Yankee. Hooting, hollering, flabbergasted.

Yeah. Let's see. Next one. Michael D. Dona Vatrice. I know he's a busy man. but I miss Brett. Me too. It's his birthday today. Oh shit. I got you. And Christian, what does that mean? It means happy birthday. No, what did Christian? Take a second right now. What does

that mean? He's 50. No, Christian, look at me. What does that mean? I don't know what it means. It means it's also. Oh, K. Mulligan's birthday. There we go. Nice. You send both. You're good. Thank you. See? So I need you in my life. Yep. Yep. And she's moving to Chicago. Do you know that? I did. And I texted her about it. Very upset about it. Yeah. All right. Everybody's leaving you. Okay. Probably a mean way to say that. Sorry. Armada, 8YT. Mike and Nick and Mike and Alice trailer. Oh yeah, that's the, that's that one that Vince Fawn, right? Is it Apple? I don't know what that is. It's like he plays like twin brothers or something. Huh. Go pal. Roxy. Have you seen the new Jen Garner show? My wife likes that one also. Isn't it in season two?

Yeah. So it's not new? No. Did he think he meant the new season? Oh, no. That's the Apple show, right? Yeah, I haven't seen it. Yeah. Okay, let's see. Fuzzy Bubbles. I want the word ninkin poop to make it come back. That was my grandfather used to say that all the time. Can you use it in a sentence? Man, I would love to have, I would love to have Snyder on the show. But they got such a ninkum poop sometimes. Some of the things that he says, you never know what he's going to come out of his mouth.

Yeah. Armada. AYT. People start to start calling people Cumquots again, yeah. I love cum quads. Yeah, I don't even ever have one. Oh, my God. I'm not sure. Oh, it's like my favorite seasonal fruit. Okay. Nathan Drake, Snyder's Scream 7 review was hilarious last night. He hated it. He said

Neff Campbell was flat and Isabella Mae was miscast. I love Isabella May, but I don't know, I don't know, maybe she wasn't. He hated it. So much she called me to tell me. He hated it, huh? Oh, my God. And he loves Scream. This is the exact sentence. He said, you know that something. things bad when I'm yelling, bring back Melissa Barrera.

He didn't like the scream six or scream five. No, no. He famously had a whole beef before that shit went down with her. Yeah, yeah. Renee Reyes, can people just put politics aside and do their jobs at the falls? I swear it's not hard. I would like to see Gunn stay and finish his vision. I mean, Roxy said it.

There's still very good possibility that does happen. You just got to let things kind of play out. But, you know, we'll say. I will say to that comment, though, to what extent do you put politics aside? I think that there's definitely levels of that. Like people say that I do think kind of wishful thinking sometimes, you know, like obviously to use an extreme, but like at some point in Nazi Germany, they were saying, can you

just put your politics aside and film this propaganda video, you know, like at what point? And so I'm with you in this analogy, but sometimes I do think that it is worth taking a stand. Sure. if something is so drastically unaligned with where you stand. Right. Okay, let's say. What's the next one here? Fuzzy levels.

I'm 100% sure I can't make fart noises with my mouth. Honestly, I'm 100% sure that so far I can't. So far it's pretty bad. I think I can teach you, but it would take a long time. Anthony Hunt, if gun sticks around, is Justice League movie possible? Sure. I'm sure it's possible. It depends on how long he sticks around for.

and it depends on how the Batman movie does who Wonder Woman is and all that. If I was gun, though, I would cast Batman and I would cast Wonder Woman and, you know, get people excited about it just so he had a little bit, he's got a little more leverage, you know? If gun sticks around, I think a Justice League movie is inevitable. Right.

But years down the line. Down the line, right. Go pal. Skydance has to start paying a ticket fee to whenever the shareholders that the deal doesn't close by October 1st, meaning all the regular service or hers. Oh, wow. Okay. So there you go. Deal closing by October 1st doesn't mean that they take over by October 1st. You know, it just means that it moves a lot quicker than that still moves fast.

He follows up. I wonder about corn sweat. The deal of gun goes. Yeah, I mean, that's all in contract and all that stuff. Yeah, it's true. And he's a Franksy. Why does this keep happening to DC just a series of unfortunate events? It does. It's true. They haven't had like a full run, you know? Ever? They haven't had a full run. Ever. you know it's like it keeps getting disrupted the best run really was like the batman movies you know the nolan batman trilogy is yeah that was the best run that they had it was only three movies because then it then was like man of steel which i liked but then it was like

boom bump bump it was like all these different things kind of flapping all over the place and yeah i don't know um my choice you and sam got me watching lots of game of throne clips lately I got myself watching a lot of clips lately too and I've gotten since watching Game of Thrones again I've gotten even more into the show than I was beforehand like the lore and the history and all that you do Wiley OFC the song in Hoppers by SCA was very interesting

it feels nothing like the movie but yet a good it feels like a modern track but on my mind I got to re-listen to it too what's this artist's name I don't know what is it Cizza S-E-A, same thing. That's worse than Dup A-Leaps. No, now, I'll never say. It's not S-A.

It's not. It's S-Z-A. Yeah, but if F-R-T is fart, then S-Z-A is S-R-R-T is not fart. That's just how you have to sound it out in order to make that noise. F-A-R-T is fart. F-R-R-T is. But say S-Z-A. S-A, that's what it is.

S-Z-A. There's no dots in between. There's no eye in there either. Nope. Damien E. I think Project Hail Mary has the potential to be good as, as good as June 2 from your point of view. By the way, I saw Hoppers a weekend. I 100% agree with your take.

Okay. Yeah, he says, good movie. Just not, just, I don't think it's like a- Jerry? I mean, what's the deal with Hoppers? Is it good? Is it funny? I mean, come on.

Is this movie good? Project Hail Mary, I have heard a new. Nothing but praise for this movie. Nothing. All I've heard is how great it is. Me too. Please send me that fucking contact. I think I missed it.

I'm telling you. It's like it is. Does it come out this weekend? No. Okay. It doesn't. Send it to me. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it though.

I really am. I see it tomorrow. Fuzzy bubble. Hoot and hollering might not be able to toot my own horn from lax of flexibility as a teenager. Fair enough. Nathan Treyk. Gunn said that they,

The 200 million reported budget for Supergirl was not even a little bit true, but should we believe him? He's told too many fibs for me. Who did report that budget? I forget who it was a pretty credible, like, outlet from what I remember. Okay. And, and. I'm just trying to think why that movie, I mean, unless it looks expensive. It looks expensive.

But I'm, I'm not, yeah, do I believe him? I don't. I think he lies too much about, about things. So I don't really believe. And you can say he doesn't necessarily. really lie. He manipulates the truth or he kind of says things. So he doesn't really lie, but he manipulates. He protects. And so, which is what he should be doing. There's no different to what I said about like when someone's like, oh, but wait a minute. Loney says he liked the end or look at

celebration. What's he going to say? You're going to say, yeah, I don't think it fits the essence of what George says. I don't really think it fits the essence of what Star Wars is. But it's, but it looks good. And it's, and it's, he's a good filmmaker. No, he's not going to say that. Captain Fernandez as a fan of React channels I worry that Paramount's hyper-aggressive copyright approach will kill most React channels that they can show WB content not well I'll tell you Paramount actually WB is very aggressive with their copyrights they're not as bad as Paramount though Paramount as like my my Sony my Sonic one they took the whole thing like that was yeah I don't do a lot of Paramount it's true

it's a good point it makes me a little nervous especially with Game of Thrones drones and stuff. Makes you nervous. But we'll see how that plays. Paramount's awful. Yeah, yeah, same. Luke says they took all of his sonic videos. But maybe that changes with the new regime.

I don't know. I'm not sure. Mike Joyce. Agon's conquest makes the most sense for a movie. It's just a bunch of dragons wrecking shop. Doesn't seem like it can make a good TV series. That's a good point.

Monica, Robb's! What's up, Monica? Going to happy Jesse Busley Week, seeing the bride And Hamnet. Oh, man. She's, I mean, she just puts on a display. She's so mesmerizing. Like, she even in this. I haven't seen Hamnet. Oh, she's so great. I'm so excited to see it. I'm going to watch it this week. I have no problem saying it. I think her performance is on par with what Daniel Day Lewis did in, uh, there will be blood. Everybody thinks I'm crazy for saying it, but I think it's, I think it's that good. I'm so excited to watch. Um, also support to Roxy. Thank you, Monica. Ah, yes, Monica. Mw. Yeah. Ninja car. Favorite non-star,

Wars, Indiana Jones. Oh, Harrison Ford movie. I'm a big fugitive guy. I like the fugitive a lot. This is a movie, but shrinking. I'm just obsessed of it. Sure. And did you see his lifetime achievement award speech? No, I heard it was good.

He did such a great job. I heard it was really good. Listen, you know who really does a good interview with him? Who? Scott Mance. Oh, does he? Harrison Ford seems to like Scott Mance. Like, he seeks him on the carpets and like Scott makes him comfortable because

you know, Harrison Ford can kind of sometimes like, He seems a little grouchy, but he plays on the grouchiness though, by the way. Yeah. Yeah, he plays on that. Like, he knows. Love him. So I would say, yeah, that one for sure. Air Force One is another one.

The Jack Ryan series, Working Girls really good. Those are some. Do you have one outside, rocks beside shrinking? It's another TV show. Oh, just TV? Okay. Remember what we watched, that we loved in it? What are we watching?

In the Yellowstone Yellowstone's been off. Yeah, 1923. It was great in that 100%. Yeah, he was really good. He's really good. He's really good in TV. Yeah. Okay. Mike, is Roxy any casting audition updates?

Thanks for asking, man. Yeah, I've been auditioning. Casting updates, very different question than audition updates. Yes, they've been auditioning. I'm getting myself in front of a lot of really good people right now, which is great. I'm still trying to, if this is a random one, but I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my hair.

So I need to take new head shots and I don't know what color hair I want to have. Because my head shots are still me blonde. So yeah, I've been figuring that out, but going out for some different kind of stuff. Yeah. That's been good. Mike Joyce. Casting update. Christian's show. That's right.

You got to watch React to the scary movie franchise. I mean, I probably have to. because it's coming out sooner than later. I didn't see the trailer either for the new one. Oh, good. Justin Bishop, what's a movie you've been able to only watch once? I want to say Schindler's list, but I've seen it, but I've seen it more than once.

That's a movie that's not obviously very hard to want, a beautiful movie. One of the best movies ever, but really hard to watch. What the fuck was that movie? They just had me watch for the channel that I would, ah, what the hell is it? Terrifier? No, but that's true.

Yeah, I don't ever need to see that ever again. Yeah, pretty much any of the sad movies. Rec Room for Dream. It's probably one I don't ever do. Oh, they let me watch that for the channel. That I'll never watch that. You never watch it again. But it was, but it's good.

Never watch it again. Jalen Turner, never seeing any of the scary movie franchise is criminal. It's right up your lane. I know, I know. I don't know why. That is crazy. Yeah. Dr. Gravity.

Great. Diculous face. Sending some support super late. Can't wait to see Mike say Mommy to Penny to tomorrow. It's, I mean, Roxy and I were. word. You know, it wasn't the fact that she got him to do it. It's the fact that how fast she got him to do it. It's crazy. Like it was like it was like hypnosis. Right. He like he just he just submitted like really fast. I mean he was on one. He was he was really like I said it. I said beforehand.

I said it was as it was if that's how I imagine myself if I was talking to Julia Roberts like. But I do wonder based on my research of her and based on what she was saying to him, like, what is he a fan of of her work? What he mostly does? I know. Look, let's appeal to watch the interview today. Never seen himself flustered. It's true.

Couldn't say anything. We couldn't believe it. All right, go pal. Never heard of that show, so it's new to me. Oh, yeah. It's been out for a little bit. So it's new to me. I love that. Slugorama. Don't do scary movie five.

Try two times. Never got further. I didn't know. There's five of those. freaking 30 minutes. I'm coming out of six now. And under 90 minutes long. No hope for six.

Okay. I have some hope for six. I actually like the trailer more than most people did. Okay. Mr. Boy Yankee. Hey, Christian Rocks. To Roxy, I'm glad that you got your glow back. Your Boothang knows what he got.

Yeah. Did I lose my glow, Kristen? You were in, I don't know what it was. It was about a year ago. You're pretty open about it that you kind of were a little down. Oh. I thought this was a physical comment. No, no, no.

He's saying, my emotional glow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate you, Mr. Boy, Yankee. Let's hope he knows what he's got. Yeah. He does. I need some more words of affirmation.

I think he does. Armada, what does Sylvia think of hoppers? You know, you watch it. See, beavers running around. He'd be able. I didn't get it. Thanks, Sylvia. Appreciate it.

Christian can say Rizza, but not Siza. Christian, can Sylvia not have glasses? Is that? No, he can't. Like, he cannot. Okay. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for saying this.

He's big-ass Wu-Tang fan. How are you going to, okay, I'm going to start calling him RZA. How do you feel? All right, point taken. All right, so. RZA. I love RZA. RZA is the best part of.

Fine. Wu-Tang. Do we ever? see the four sixes ranch yellow stone yellowstone spin off after that really bad why marshals premiere i've lost all hope on this being a viable franchise apparently knows what to do with well they don't even have him involved anymore do you even know what this do you understand this question no not at all from yellowstone the character that plays casey just had a spinoff show oh that's called marshals oh yeah yeah yeah that's pilot i didn't watch it i was the fart i'm watching it but i heard not great

things and I love Yellowstone. Is he involved Sheridan or no? I don't think so. It's a CBS show. How do you do that? I mean, this goes back to the conversation and we just had, right? If you're trying to bang it without, it doesn't always work, but you can still do it. You might have creative credit on it because he created the character, but I don't think that he's

not the showrunner. So he gets credit for it because it was his character. Maybe. I'm not sure. Somebody check me on that. But four six is Ranch Yellowstone spinoff. I haven't heard anything about since. so I really don't know.

More people call. Sheridan's an executive producer on it. But of course, he created the character. Right, right. You just get that. Andy's a Frank C. He calling me out on this. So, Christian, how do you say Jizzah and RZA?

All right. Frank. G. VA and RZA. That's right. How do you think this affects Reeves Batman stuff? You think we get a DC-Batman sooner under Paramount? That just depends on what happens with gun. If they keep him doing what he's doing,

you can give the same amount of time. thing that you're leading up to. They might put a little pressure on them to make a Batman movie, but this question is what they're going to do with the guns, with the Reeves, I don't know. Break down this question for a second, though, Christian. Yeah. How would the, what's the correlation between Reeves Batman

and the DCU Batman sooner? Are you asking, Frank, if we think that actually what the Paramount acquisition would do is bring over the Reeves Batman as the Batman into? No, no, no. So what's the correlation between? Because Reeves, what Gunn had said was that they're waiting on Batman because they don't want to have two Batman release in the same year, which I think is the right play. But they're really pushing the DCU Batman because of it. And they're probably also, look, that's a terrifying thing to be into when you have to, because, and I don't want to keep using this example.

But like, if the Flash, Aquaman 2, Shazam 2 would have all been mega hits, like, mega hits. DCU and James Gunn would have had a really serious problem. He would have had the same problem that he's got with Batman because the Batman did so well and people loved it. He couldn't scrap. That's why he said we'll leave it before when he came in. He said, well, leave the door open. Basically, let's see how much money they make. They didn't do well enough. You can get rid of them and nobody cares. But when you have, like Black Adam was another one. They go, Black Adam would have crushed him made $1.5 billion. It would have a problem coming into that, but it didn't. So, So the Batman did very well.

But let me ask you this to our initial conversation today on this question, which possibly is hinting at, is there a world in which Supergirl underperforms because it's $200 million so they don't even make back their budget if they don't make $400? Okay. So say that happens. People aren't interested in Clayface for one reason or another. I'm not saying this to what I think. That all happens.

Lanterns isn't as critically received, isn't critical. received well. And that's where the state of D.C. is when the Ellison's take over. And so what they decide is, you know, what has worked. What has worked is Reeves Batman universe. Bring that. Let's see what we have to pull to do, Colin Farrell Penguin season two. Let's get Batman two and three into production immediately.

Now let's cast a new Superman and have him join the Reeves and make Reeves the new gun of the universe. I'm not predicting this is what's going to happen. I'm just wondering. Is that a world? Of course it's a world. Of course it is. Yeah.

Love that universe. It's business. Let's see how it presents itself. But it's certainly a possible. Well, whether or not you want to do it or not, I don't know. I really hope that's not what happens.

I just think that it is interesting that they do right now have a bit of a fail safe with it. Alan Smithy, Jesse Buckley and Allison Oliver are identical twins. I have no idea who Allison Oliver is. Allison Oliver. You tell me if it's worth me looking up. Oh, she's the one from, from, she was in task and she was just in,

she's excellent, actually. She's just in Wuthering Heights also. Saltburn. People keep saying, thinking. Oh, yes, she was in the order. I really liked that. By the way, I have the same problem. You know, when you say, what's the thing that you say that it sounds like you're saying

something completely different, but you're actually saying it. It's not the whole, but it's the other thing. Is it the, maybe this. Hole. Right, you're saying whole, not saying whole. But there's something else that you were saying that sounds like you're saying something. But anyway, I do that with when I say Wuthering Heights. People like, it's not Withering Heights.

I'm not saying Wuthering Heights. I'm saying Wuthering Heights. Wuthering. That is hard. Weather. Because you're going to do, Wuthering. Just some idiot on my out of the theater. What do these kids?

Yeah, someone, someone idiot on my, when I did the out of the theater was like, uh, Wuthering Heights. L.O.L. Take your L.O.L. and shove it up your asshole. I hate LOL. All right. Justin Bishop.

If you just an L.O.L. up your asshole, probably get stuck on the L part. Unless it's a lower Kink L and then O and then L. and then L. They get jammed. I hate stupid LOL. Justin Bishop.

Favorite theory for Dooms Day? Mine is that Doom was placed on a secret timeline by Kang to prevent him from being doomed to protect himself. Stark has always been doomed, but has stopped by Stark's. I confuse this the hell out of me. That's so funny. You just said that, Christian,

because I've been seeing so many Justin, I appreciate you painting this for us, and I like the question. However, every theory that I see about Doomsday actually makes me feel like I have a headache. It's like the amount of homework that I have to, as somebody who's seen every single MCU live action property, the amount of homework I feel like I'm going to have to do in order to prepare for what is next is alarming. That confused me. I don't know. I don't know if they can make it work, but maybe they can. We're in the telling you. And he's a Francie. Warn my heart to see Jesse Plymins nominated for B. The Sag Awards because he was the best part of it. He was fantastic in that move. I was really excited about that too.

And it was very cute to see Jesse P. P. P.L.N.' One, shout out to Michael B. Jordan. He absolutely deserved that W. And it was really nice to see his peers recognize him. But Jesse, if you remember, goes back to the Friday Night Lights Days with Michael B. Jordan. They starred on the same show together as kids.

and seeing Jesse, I've lost Christian, but you guys are here. I'm here, I'm listening. But seeing Jesse's a little smile for his friend Michael was really cute. See, I agree. Do you? Yes. What show were they on together? Who, Jesse?

And? Breaking Bad. No, Jesse and Michael B. Jordan. Michael B. Jordan and Breaking Bad was amazing. Yeah, it was good. Any movies you turn off before the Saturday Night Lights. Did you not watch it? No.

Go pal, any movies you turn off before the sad part starts? Sex and the City. What's the sad part? When it starts. No, I have to tell you, go pal, that actually, usually the sad parts are my favorite. Something sick and twisted about me. I love sad movies. Yeah.

Yeah, you got, I mean, that's the whole... I don't like what I'm going to end sad. This is what I've been trying to fucking tell you about, Christian. I can't remember the goddamn name of the movie. I just watched the movie It was the saddest movie You've ever seen. It hasn't come out yet for rejects.

It was literally the sadst movie I've ever seen in my life. It ends so sad. Do you remember what it is? No, what is it? I don't know. I'm trying to remember the name of it. It's the saddest movie fucking of all time.

Oh, yeah, let me know. You get to the end and everything is so bleak and depressing and you think that it's going to be fine and then it's not okay. Zootopia? Yeah. Andy Zafrancy. Worm of my heart.

We did that one already. Come on. Come on, Christian. Matthew Cooper. Roxy's the best. Check her out in Wildcat. Hell yeah. And Christian, that is my...

Movie. Manager. Oh. Who you've met. Oh. Yeah, I know Matthew Cooper. I call him Maddie C. Yes.

Yeah. Notoriously, he does go by Maddie C. McCoup. Mike Joyce. No check out Roxy in Always Lola. there you go thanks mike joyce you're not even my manager way to piggyback though appreciate you you still my sylvia sylvia face already michael d support jerick donson where is derrick ben i've seen derrick in in weeks support brett sheridan's an exec on marshals what is odd is that they didn't

call it a sequel it is a sequel after seeing it i don't know why they did this on cbs i don't know i don't know this isn't just season six so i think that didn't didn't uh yell some start on CBS? You made a joke with the Brett part of that, right? Of course. But didn't they didn't they start on CBS? Not to the best of mine knowledge. Oh, okay. I guess

it's possible because I didn't start watching it until season three, but I went back and watched. Oh, do you know it's funny? Yeah, it was the fucking missed. It was the mist. Just you wait. Have you seen that movie? No. Is that Hillary Swank? No.

Oh. I don't even want to tell you anymore about it. I've never, there's never been a reaction where I fucking stormed out. I was so pissed at this movie. Okay. All right. But look, 1883 and 1923, I've watched both of them. You know, I've seen like three episodes of Yellowstone.

It's funny. Yeah, that is so weird. I love Yellowstone. I just love the movie series. I know. I know. You and Roka. Yeah, me and Roka's beef on that.

So I think is it wrong. I'm 100% on that. Roxy, right now you're in the lead with 50. Nathan Drake. So if the movie, I swear, gets nominations in the U.S. next award season and releases in April, how will they handle the Tourette's person attending?

Here you go, putting this in this one again. I didn't really get a chance to... Did you watch me and Mike? Yeah, I saw everybody. So this is what I had said originally, because I had a different take than the both of you guys. And it's ultimate, I got shit for it, because what I said was like, I think that,

and I made it clear, you should never apologize for his condition. Can't apologize for your condition. that's a condition. If he felt like he hurt anybody and people's feelings were hurt and that he was and that he, you know, and he knows that that kind of thing happens, then he should make a statement. And it's exactly what he did. He made a statement.

And he made a statement and he said, I'm never going to apologize for my condition. I can't. But I will apologize if people were hurt because of it. And I understand that. So that's the same thing that Mike and I said. Is it? Is it the same thing? Okay.

Okay. So he, so he did that. and I think that was the way to go about it. So I think that, you know, people should know that he's gone. Like, that was the other thing. I wasn't aware because I wasn't paying attention to the whole story when it came out. And I thought he was just a guy in the audience. I didn't realize he was nominated and there was a whole movie about him.

Of course, he needed to be there. Because I thought, I thought that they, someone, I thought it was like, I didn't know. The movie is I swear. I know. Now I know what it is. And I was like, because at the time, I was when I initially talked about it, well, you know, if they knew that the guy could potentially do that, they shouldn't have been invited because I thought it was like an influence or

something. And they say, no, the guy who's nominated. So that's why he was there. I was like, oh, then of course he should have been there. I did not believe how pissed people were at Mike and I about that. Oh, furious. It was a very polarizing subject in general. Yeah, it was, but like, it still is. Go ahead and have your own opinion on it. No problem. That's mine. Why are you guys so mad about that? Like, it's very odd. Well, here is the next one. And final one. Andy DeFrancy, your dream director, actor pairing, mine is Emma Stone and Wesley Anderson. That's a good one. That's a really good one. It's a really good one. Mine is me and Christopher Nolan. Also a good one. Dream actor,

director pairing. Me and Greta Gerwig. Hmm. Okay. Well, she's taking all mine. So there you go. Yeah. Perfect. All right, let's say. 56. That's it for now, Rox. So tomorrow, no show. No competition. Me and I won't tell you his name because it would be out in Christian Harlov for who's directing his pilot. Fair. So if I was going to put the petting interview in a live show tomorrow, you'd have problems. But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to run it tomorrow just as an interview.

Thursday right now is just Steph. Maybe Mike joins. They got a good shot. If so. I don't want to say this, but I kind of don't want Mike to join. Yeah, that's fair. Oh, you have two more. You have two more. Nathan Drake, the missed book ending is so much better than the movie.

What's the book ending? Oh, yeah, let him know. Let her know. Milder comic nerd. Roxy, you've been through a pandemic. You've been through L.A. fires while working nonstop, helping a family and neighbor getting beasted by strangers. Actors strike. Well, not in a relationship for close to 10 years. You deserve that glow. He's right.

That's one of my favorite. Amazing comment. I think that's one of the best comments of the day. Really great comment. One of the best of the day. And honestly, you know, most are rewarding, like, you know, like at the end of the show, like take like. Favorite comments. Favorite comment of the, of the super chats.

And I think, I think right now that. She was getting beasted by strangers. I mean, it sounded like murder. Yeah. It was crazy. Crazy. You want to know how I was rewarded. How.

This is a good full circle moment. So everybody knows she moved out and I could finally sleep. again. Yes. And I, the person who moved in texted me this week and she said, hey, girl, I am giving up smoking pot. Oh. I have so much.

Do you want it? The new girl? Yeah. And I said, thank you so much. I deserve you in this moment as a neighbor. Yes, please. And her and her dad came and brought like a basket of goodies to my door. And I was like, this is so much better.

But now you have to wonder, Christian, if I'm the problem. Why? Well, because I was not active for years of my life. And now I'm asking. Oh, and now you might be, someone might be talking. Somebody might be talking about you and playing clips of you on someone's show. They might be. Wow.

Hey, you deserve it. Be on the lookout, guys. If you hear any clips. Yeah. Let me know. Yeah, let us know. Spoonastic. Just seeing Owen Cooper is set to play young Vince Vaughan

in upcoming Apple TV Biopic. Really? I, that wouldn't be my first. That's so funny. I love Owen Cooper. But as a young Vince Vaughn, he must have auditioned his pants off for that. How tall is this kid?

Is that the kid? No, no. That's an adolescent. Right, right. That's how tall is he? Wait, Owen Cooper actor. Why would it matter how tall he is? Vince Fawn's like 6-5.

Yeah, but as a kid. I know, he's still got to be tall. Yeah, he... He tends to be 6-5, but he still be tall. All right. Real McCoy, thoughts on scary movie 6 trailer. I never, I didn't see it because I don't really think I'm, like I said, I've seen bits and pieces I think of the first one.

It'll be a first time watch for me when I watch it. I liked the trailer. People said that it was super lackluster, but we haven't seen a scary movie in a while. So I liked seeing Megan, you know, I liked seeing the new characters. I like them being back. I like them bringing back some OG cast. These movies are always kind of funny to me. We posted on Matt Sarah's channel.

He was talking about the Corona because he talked about it with us, obviously, but he talked about it on his own on his channel. So he put that up. He just did a reaction, which we're going to post on Thursday for the Bone Temple. He felt the same way to you and I. He was like, that was like, that was wild.

So he really, Watching that was Snyder was such a bummer, bro. It was a bummer. He hated it. I liked that movie. He didn't do very well, but I still liked it. Oh, it didn't do well? No. It didn't do very well. No, let's see. That seems to be the problem with movies in general.

Let's see. I'll tell you right now. What was the budget? First of all, let's see what the budget was. All right, we're at 60, guys. Keep up in it for the last few minutes that we're here if we are here while he's looking for the budget. Look at Christian Stahl. 63 million was the budget. it made a total of 57. That's a lot. It's a big loss.

Yeah, it's a big loss. But they shot these back-to-back. The movies was 63 the budget of both of them. Did they shoot it back-to-back? They didn't shoot back-to-back. Because remember, she directed this one and Danny Boyle directed the other one. You're right.

You're right. Yeah. An additional 70 million was on marketing. Does that mean we're not going to get the next one? I don't know. I hope we do because they set it up. They set up so wonderful. Yeah, but maybe because Killian, maybe it will do better.

I don't know. That's bad. That's really bad. Yeah. What a bummer. Oh, my God. So it didn't make its money back. It didn't even make it budget back.

It didn't make it budget back and it didn't make the marketing back. Yeah, it was it. I'm shocked that. That movie was really good. I liked it too. This is the last one. Has anyone got the link to Mike's bondage book? Mike has a bondage book?

Spoontastic says. Maybe he means the James Bond book. and just wrote bondage? Well, with the conversation we've been having about Penny, I wouldn't be surprised if he does have a book. But look at these three, these three images. One, that's a hilarious one. Those Mike's face the whole time.

That one is amazing. And then tomorrow, guys, it drops. What time? 9 a.m. PST. Is that true? Yeah. I thought you said one. Oh, that you were talking of...

10. Wait, no, terrible math. 10 a.m. PST. Sorry, Roxy. Okay. 1 p.m. EST.

So, thank you guys for being here. As always, Roxy. Thank you. Where can the people find you? You're looking for some more Roxy. Everywhere at Roxy Stryor. Oh, and me and Taylor, my girl. Thank you very little for being here today.
