Hello. What's up, everybody. Welcome back. It's the big thing. Happy Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. I really do. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The Oscars were last night, man, and John Rook and I decided we got to talk about this event. Wasn't an event? How did I feel about it? You guys know I feel about the Oscars. How did John feel about it? Jimmy Kimmel hosted took some shots at Robert Downing Jr. How did that go over? How do we feel it went? Let's see. the what's the crossover between comedy and roasting and Oscars and appropriate, not appropriate, all that kind of stuff. We'll discuss that. We'll also talk about all the winners. We'll talk about any surprises we thought. We'll talk about the show as a whole. And that's the majority of it.

And as far as box office goes, Dune, kick an ace again. So we'll discuss that. It's a few other stories that we may or may not get to. But so I'm not going to talk about it yet because I don't know if we're going to get to it. might be a long enough discussion in the Oscars in general. And I already saw, as you guys know on Monday, what we do if you're watching it live, we take questions from you guys. And there's already a bunch of questions fired in from the weekend.

And I can only imagine there's going to be some more as we start going. But if you're not watching live and you're listening on Apple, Apple or Spotify, you can do that on both Apple and Spotify, obviously. You want to join the Patreon. You can do that. Go to patreon.com slash the big name. show. A lot of great stuff coming on. By the way, we have a new UAP news channel, which we started last week, doing pretty well. So you want to join over there. We got UAP Tuesday coming up tomorrow.

We got a lot of great things to talk about here today. So throw those questions in me. Let's start talking about the Oscars. It's me and John Roker. Here we do it. Let's go. Here we do it. Let's go. Sure. Okay. Works for me. Here we do it. Let's go. Here we do it. Let's go. It is March 11th, 2004, the year of our Lord. Here we go. John Roka in the house. What's up, John? Here we do it.

Let's go. I think it's a new thing. Put it on a T-shirt. I like that hat. Thank you. It's my Liverpool, LFC. A great match this weekend on Sunday, 1-1 with Man City. So I'm wrapping my boys today.

I'm wrapping my boys also because I haven't showered. Oh, that works. Well, you know how it goes every time you talk soccer. This is what I hear. Nope. That's not what I do. That I know. That I know. I need to take your daughter there and take her to some matches. She needs to come down to San Diego. We'll watch them. I'll come up there to take some L-AFC matches and teach her game. Come on.

I'll be amazing. I'll take you both. Come on. Yeah. So the show happened last night, man. What a show. It was a. So the show in general and the big winner. Popperheimer, man. Bye, everyone. A lot of different awards that we'll go through. Talk about the show in general.

As I mentioned up top, if you guys have questions the way it works and live, if you're joining us for the first time, basically John and I will go through all the topics and a lot of it will just be the Academy Awards for today, maybe a couple other stories. But through that, we want you guys to ask any questions that you want. It can be about the Academy Awards. It can be anything else you want to talk about in general, but you just throw the questions in. And by the time we're finished with all the topics, we'll get to the questions and we'll answer until the very last one is done.

Yeah. All right, John, what are you in? What do you think of the overall show? And then I want you to predict what you thought, I thought of the overall show. Okay, well, I did a live watch along the show last night. And like 400 some people were joining me for a majority.

And I was really surprised by that. I was like 30 to 40 to 50. You know, you always hear people like, whatever with the Oscars. But apparently people wanted to see what was going to happen last night. And there were a lot of good movies that were nominated. I thought it was a really good year for movies. So the ceremony, I thought,

was great. One of the best I've seen in years. I thought Kimmel for the most part, other than a couple of missteps, was really good as a host, put to shame just about everybody we'd seen, aside from John Mullaney at that Governor's Ball Awards or whatever that was, to shame as a host. I thought there's some really great moments, a lot of funny stuff to talk about. Bad Ken performance from Gosling was great. Schwarzenegger, DeVito, and Keaton going at it was awesome for all of us nerds who remember the Batman movies from that day. And I thought for the most part, the awards went about the way they were. supposed to go and there was a lot of spreading of the wealth. So for me overall, a good show,

tight show, and it was done with time to spare. So for me, I came away for this really excited about the Oscar reward show. I think you liked it because it didn't get too pretentious, but you still felt it was over long and maybe Kimmel made a few more missteps than I think you did, in your opinion. Well, I'll tell you that. I'm going to tell you right and wrong about it a couple Okay. Okay. I think that you were wrong in my assessment. You were right in your assessment of the show. No. I thought it was a really good show. I thought it was one of the better show. My wife turned to me at one point. She said, we didn't fast forward through much of this. I said, no, we didn't. We didn't. I, what's funny is that this is the thing, this is the point that I've made about stand-up comedy and jokes in general when it comes to how it works, right? Now look, and I see. And I see. stand by this and I'll give you my thoughts on some of the jokes and I'll and I'll overall when it comes to comedy you are allowed to take swings you when you're standing a comment you're allowed to take swings and there are going to be a lot of people

who either the majority is either going to find you funny and think that it worked or the majority is going to think that it didn't work and maybe you shouldn't have done it right your goal is always to get the majority, right? That's the goal. I don't necessarily think Kimball got the majority with the Robert Downey Jr. stuff. Yeah, I agree with that. I think he got the majority when it came to his overall hosting.

I mean, politically, you're going to, anytime you're going toe to toe to with Trump on stage, you're going to get people who then automatically are not going to like you, no matter what you do. But the overall hosting job, I thought was fantastic. I agree. He made it a show. He made it a party. He made it a thing that like you're like, okay.

And he told it quick. He did his monologue. He came out. He told another joke in order to keep it going. He changed his suit around. It felt like an old school kind of host, the way that it used to go. And you would crack a joke. He'd move along.

I thought he, and then again, just comedically, I thought that he sat in the Downey Jr. stuff for too long. Yep. And I felt like when he went after him, I think it was like even Downey when he went like, you know, a little on the nose with that one. He should have moved on from the highest part. That's it. Shouldn't move on from that.

But then Downey went after him. So he, like, quipped back with the cocaine thing. And then he needed the dog thing because that transitioned him into the joke. But because he held in that, because he added that ad lib of the cocaine thing, it was this. It's like, do the high thing. Do the thing. People go, oh, that's a little crazy. But he put, he, he did some, there was some really good jokes that worked overall.

I thought he moved the show at a great pace. I was bummed. I knew it was coming, but I was bummed. that Giamatti didn't win. But I, okay, that Killeen Murphy did because he was fantastic. Yeah. The, I loved that American fiction one. And I loved what the guy, what the dude said.

Yeah. About the budgets. Yes. He heard me. So there was, and Godzilla winning. Yeah. I thought the Gosling thing was fantastic. Yeah.

Fantastic. It was like, this is what we're talking about when you make it a show. Oh, you know what I didn't love? the in-memorium, the actual idea of playing the Bacheli song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great, but I can't see it. I don't want to see the dancing. Show me who passed away.

That's exactly what I said when I was watching. I was like, why are we, they should not be in the foreground, distracting us. It's about the people who've passed. Let's go back into close frame. Yeah, I don't need any of that. I agree with 100%. I think the performance was great, vocally. Yeah.

But yes, the dancing. Yeah, no. If you're in the audience, right, right, 100s. In the audience, okay, great, people doing this and I can see the screen in the background, but like, if I'm, I'm going away, who? Who? Oh, wait, get that thing out of the way. I want to see who passed.

So that and then, all right, so here's a question. I see mixed reviews on this one. What do you think about the best supporting actor, actress, best actor, actress, thing that they brought back with all the actors coming out and given some words about their nominees and then presenting it. I loved it as a concept and I thought it came off really well. I'm an actor. So for me,

having other actors come out to talk about how great the new current crop of actors are or the nominees, I think is a really awesome experience. The problem is that they gave so much for them to say in the initial things. When we get to the bigger awards and you're trying to cut for time, it's felt to me like they cut some of those

intro speeches a little short. So we only said certain things. You should not be blowing your wad on the best supporting actor, best supporting actress. You should be blowing your wad on the best actor, best actress. But as a concept overall,

I loved it. And I thought they all had wonderful things to say. And you can tell the actors who were nominated, we're very moved. And, you know, at a time with after the strike, you're re-appreciating the business, re-appreciating actors. I thought it was a great way to show respect to that profession. So I love it.

So here's, and the other thing for me, I also enjoyed it. I thought it worked. And what I've always said, and I stick to it, I still think that the Oscars should be on streaming. I still don't think it should be on network television. That's fair. I mean, even the way, Jake Paul and Tyson are going to be on Netflix, right? That should show you something.

It should show you something. Like, you should put these things on streaming. Yeah. Because you'll also be able to make it even more of a show. You don't have to worry about the time limit. you can do what you want to do. Very true. Get it off a network television.

I still say that. That's part one. Part two is that when it comes to the, and this is the way that people, because I saw even people in the comments going, why are we watching an actor celebrate themselves? Why do we watch wrestlers do the Hall of Fame? If you're in that profession in general,

if you like the profession and you watch it, that's what you're watching. My issue is when people start giving over-politicized speeches and things when it's not necessary. Right? Like, I always bring up. up if Lily Gladstone had one and she's bringing up certain things as far as politics and you know her everything about her culture and of course of course it's like there's a time for it yeah when there's a

time for it there wasn't a lot of that last night no it wasn't a lot of that last night and i was like and it's one of the things and the show moved and people speeches i thought billy eyeless's speech was so pure and so wonderful this thing with her and her brother i don't my daughter's obsessed with her right i don't know anything about her she you know but it's like she her performance i thought was great yep and there were certain things. I love him. I love him, but Pacino had no idea what he was so pissed. Because the show, as you said, and I said, it was going great.

And the Pacino walks out there, like he's at a luncheon at the Elks Lodge, and he's like, my eyes see up, and I'm, I think it's up and I'm. Thanks. I'm glad to be here. Okay. Okay. I'm reading an award. I got something.

Okay, best picture. Opening up, my eyes see, up and I'm on. First of all, he's gone through different stages of his tone and his voice. He went from like up here at one when he was on the godfine, New York, to somehow going a little more southern. Right. And last night, he turned into an old Jewish man from Brooklyn. But he botched. I love my all-time favorites.

All-time favorites. And he totally botched that thing at the end. It was he doesn't get a shit. What does he care? No more old actors presenting these big awards. No more. I'm not trying to be, I'm not against, you know, I'm not anti-agist or anything like that. But if you're going to bring them out, you got to do it like they did with Liza. You bring out Lady Gaga with her. So they stay the course.

They do what they're supposed to do. And then they get reminded. The fact that they let Pacino walk out there. And let me tell you some behind the scene stuff. From a friend of mine who works on a number of these award shows. He just wandered out and then he said, it was supposed to be Cher and Nicholas Cage in a reunion. Moonlight, yeah, right, exactly.

Moonlight, whatever the show or the film was. Moonlight, whatever it was moonlighting. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, and they were supposed to present the best picture, but they called an audible and got Pacino to walk out there. And clearly he was not. What is Sherr's Pitt? That what he said?

Huh? No, Sherer and Ryan Gossley. Oh, share, sorry, share it, Nicholas Cage. Maybe Nicholas Cage is already up there and that's what they decided they didn't want to do. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they called an audible and maybe that's where they put. That's what it was. Thank you.

Thank you. Step out of it. Yeah, but yeah, so I think it would have been better with those two. But in the end, Pacino just wandered out there and like fumbled over the whole thing, which was terrible. You don't want the best, the biggest award to be anti-climactic. It was botched. It was botched.

And then there were other, look, what they did well in the entire, this, you can pick normally, you can just, it's like snoozer after snoozer after snoozer after snoozer and you're like fast forward, fast forward, fast forward and there's no bits, there's no bits that stand out. Right. A bunch of bits that stood out, the Ryan Dockley stood out, the opening monologue for Kimmel, stood out the Sina bit, the John Sina bit. That was great.

Dude, that guy, that guy is fearless. He's fearless. Dude, I watched Ricky Stinniki over the weekend, and that is a dumb fucking movie, and I laughed my ass all through it because of Santino. I was Santino. Yeah, Santino's great, because he's fearless, like you said, he's fearless, and this whole thing was fearless. He was fearless.

And it was a good bit with him and Kimmel. And that's my point with Kimmel is that Kimmel, because of doing his show and his comedic timing, he knows like, okay, we don't want it to flatline and we don't want to just next to award. I got a little bit. I got a little bit. Let's bring Cena. We'll do it. You'll do that.

Yeah. Absolutely. Great. It'll be hilarious. And it's memorable. And you remember it. I thought it was going to be like Will Ferrell again coming out. Surprise.

There were no shot to Damon. No, no Matt Damon shots. I know. And he didn't even show up to be part of the people there. I remember receiving the award for Oppenheimer. So I was really surprised. He probably had something going on, right? You'd assume he's usually had all these things.

Probably been a Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Probably. And then the other thing is when my all-time favorite bits was DeVito and Schwarzeneges. I mean, come on. Come on. It was so improvved also. Arnold called Michael Keaton, son of a bitch, twice. You got me in twins.

Then you leveled up to Batman. And I was like, this is a great ride. I wish Fifer was in the audience. wish there had been everybody and they had panned to them from those films. That would have been awesome. Look at them. Son of the bitch. So good. Twice. And he played with him. Keaton was like,

bring it. Bring it. It was great. Oh. You guys look for something. And he was, he was just, Josh Harwitz, by the way, has a full 45 minute interview with him. Just went up. Wow, with Keaton? Yeah. And he talked about it, the opening intro of it. I just texted Josh. I can't always dive into this thing.

I'm going to watch this. he talks about that morbius scene and he's like did you know what was going on he's like no and they didn't either it's so so great so great um but that bit that bit was just awesome i do it's funny though because someone said it in the in the audience too and um i think that it was um it would have been good if like cluny was there for arnold oh it would have been great yeah that would have been great um trying to think what else there was uh oh you Oh, yeah, and then the dog finally was able to be in the audience. That was a big controversy that the dog couldn't be there.

Yeah, and then what's Godzilla winning was fantastic. Yes. Happy that it did. Oh, the animated one was a shock to me. Really? Yeah, I guess not as much because I thought Spider-Man was going to sweep overall all the awards and then they didn't. Oh, speaking of that.

Yeah. Love that bit between Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. Oh, yeah. The Barbenheimer thing? Great roasting bit between the both of them. Because it was just like, you know, this whole thing of, yeah, well, we got you in box. I was like, yeah, but it wasn't really much of robbery. Wipeed your fucking ass with all the awards throughout it.

It was just so good. And then you can really tell how much people love Greta Gerwig. Oh, yeah. But you can just tell, like, everyone who works with her, like, you can just tell, like, she's running around in the audience. Like, she'll have to Bailey Islander's run. she could see her running from her seat and she hugs it was just it felt the most like pure out of the whole entire it didn't feel as pretentious to me as it usually does it just felt more pure and like for

people like well this there's just a bunch of people honoring themselves that's the point of the freaking thing it's like me i when i it's the same way i use wrestling if you're watching wrestling you know what are these people they're celebrating beating the shit out of each other yeah and other stuff take it to the next level with wrestling like you said like why is there a hall of fame it doesn't even fucking exist. There's no building. There's no place you can go to. Right. And you're having a whole ceremony where these wrestlers come out and deliver two-hour fucking monologues about their career. And I'm a massive pro wrestling fan. I'll tell you, there's no difference between the Hall of Fame and the fucking Oscars. It's all about kissing the ass. It's of the people.

But you know why? Because those people influenced you. They were a part of your life. They inspired you. But that's it. They love their movies. You love their wrestling matches. So it's okay. Yes, and that's my, and so that's why I like yesterday's thing, because I didn't feel like, because I do feel, and I've mentioned it many times over, that if I'm following people on Twitter and they start going political or they do a whole bunch of different things, and they're going through this whole, you know, with diatribs and on Twitter, well, I follow you on Twitter, and that's your personal Twitter, and that's something because I decided to do it. Yes.

If I'm tuning in to watch a celebration of acting and film and you start, preaching to me through speeches and monologues and everything too i'm like it's not why i'm here i'm not here for that i'll go to your twitter i'll go to you know a news network i'm not here for that and they didn't do that last night and what about the trump thing well that was a retort that was a that was a report and that was that was a that was a two people punching at each other and i thought it was it was it was hilarious it was hilarious it's like they're both you know you're gonna throw a jab i'm gonna throw i'm gonna throw a punch back so that wasn't that That wasn't planned.

It was just a retort. So, and everything was necessarily political as much, it was just like two people, you know, slapping each other. Yeah. And isn't it past your jail time?

That's a fucking great singer. So whether, whatever your feelings are about it, objectively, that was a great fucking zing. Right. Well, that was my point in the beginning,

though. It won't be, though, because it comes, it comes down to, you know, there's just, it's just,

it's just, when it's, especially where we are today, with you can't appreciate, like a joke about, some if someone go against your team you just is it it doesn't work either way because there's it either way either way because there's so in the other on the other side of it if it was because you know i didn't necessarily think the tweet from from trump was very clever but if it but if it had

been yeah there would have been people going well that wasn't funny and really well but it was but it was just you know you've seen it you've seen the the stuff happen the same way before but either way I thought that the entire, I thought the entire production was really good and it didn't feel preachy. I thought Emma Stone was very genuine. Yeah. The thing with the dress was hilarious, you know, the poor thing, you know. Yeah.

And it was a, I didn't even say that. I like the look of it, brother. I really like the design and the style of the stage. All of the swooping design there, kind of like your painting. All of that, it was both classic and modern at the same time. and I love that. Then the energy, you could feel the energy

of the room from the beginning. Although Jimmy stumbled on the RDJ and I think that's back to our basic rule which you talked about months ago with the Jabby Kaui thing where it's like you've got to talk to the person if you're going to bring up something

really personal from their past. He's 20 years sober. I think you've got to tell Downey you're going to do that so that he was a cheap shot. Yeah, it was a cheap shot a little bit because it's not like Kimmel wasn't in blackface years ago. What if Robert had come back with something like that? So it's just that kind of thing.

you don't want to poke fun at these kinds of things because, you know, you can, without the person's approval. So after we got over with you, I felt the energy was very positive throughout, man. You know, I'm going to give props to that moment on. And also because I know her,

Susan Downey. Yeah, I'm going to give her. So much props because she was sitting there, smile on her face, probably just the same thing, you motherfucker, right? Yeah, but smile on her face and just like knowing how to, knowing how to work,

knowing that, knowing that. And Downey, you know, Downey was just like, come on, move on, dude. Let's go. And you just tell, okay, I'm smiling. Because even Emily Blunt put her hand on her shoulder. And he looked back for this. That's cool, it's cool.

And then he kept going. And then he kept going. All right, dude. Let's go. Because everybody's feeling like Downey's going to win. He wins. And it's just like the tension is going to win. And good on him.

I thought he was going to. I was like, don't bring it back up. Yeah. He didn't even mention it. Didn't even mention. Class act. And I bet Susan told him, don't fucking mention it. Right.

This is your moment. Don't pull a Will Smith and slap him. This is your moment. Say your thing. And he was so complimentary of her. It was beautiful. It was. Speaking of which,

the lead into that scene a bit where they show, you know, before they show the footage of the, the streaker coming out. What he goes, what used to be the most infamous moment. That's it. Just let you know.

If you know, you know, if you know, again, well done overall overall good performance and he's even said he said he's we're ahead of schedule we're ahead of schedule because you kept the show moving there's good musical performances um and then who's who's assistant who's his assistant dear our grandma right yeah yeah that moment

was great too the toast that was so funny i like my wife was crack if my you can get my wife laughing out loud then you're doing something right because that whole thing when it's like and my wife charlie stren or whatever you called her. Like John Kucin, I can't remember what you call them. And then they're no, Coombe Flamingo.

Hilarious. That's hilarious. That whole does a tequila bit. I'll tell you, you know who it looks smoking hot last night, by the way? Tell me. Jennifer Lawrence.

Yes. Good Lord. Good Lord. I was like, I even said my wife, I go, she looks hot. Yeah. It's like, that was,

I mean, I always think she's pretty, but I was like, whoa. Yeah. She looks hot. Okay. Everybody. thoughts on it.

I see a bunch of questions coming in still. Like that. Good stuff. We'll get into all of it. We've got more things to talk about here today. But if there's any other thoughts that we didn't get to on the Oscars, the Academy Awards of what you thought, I'd love to hear it. So make sure you put that in there.

I actually got some NutraFall and it's been super helpful. So thank you. And check out Fume. Links in the description. And it'll be the pin comment. So thank you. guys very much. All right, John, we got some box office news, man. Let's do it, man. Crazy box. But this is what I'm telling you. This is why you shouldn't bet with me. Um, because I always win when it comes to stuff because I don't take stupid bets. And I didn't bet you on this and you're

lucky that I didn't because you would have lost. Okay. I love this movie. You know I love Dune. Yeah. Didn't even make number one it's second week. Yeah. Because Kung Fu Panda 4 came in swing it. Now, Dune's doing very well. Didn't get hurt. It just, it had a drop off as we knew that it would. But competition is coming in. Kung Panda, 58.3 million, overperforming. Dune Part 2, 46 million.

Imaginary shoots the bed with 10 million, but it didn't really, really cost that much to make. Cabrini makes 7.6. And then Bob Marley, bringing in another four. Kung Fu Panda made 80 million worldwide, which is a great opening for that movie. did you see kung fu panda not yet no i didn't have a contestant or go see it this weekend it's it like it it it's fine i i i did the review with um i didn't out of the theater but then i did a review with christie on um on breakfast all day she hated it i mean she hated it i didn't hate it i just thought it was generic but this is a strategy that the studio made that paid off and like there's

no angela jolly in this movie there's no set rogan right it's just just Jack Black and Aquafina, basically. Those are your two big costs when it comes to this movie overall. And you can tell the budget was scaled back dramatically, which around $80 million. And it just made the production budget back like that. Right. So it's a smart move.

Now, did it hurt the quality of it? I think so. I think it hurt the quality of the movie. But it ain't going to matter because there's nothing else for kids to see in the theater right now. I've seen it already and I'm going to take my six-year-old to see it again next. Well, she hasn't seen it yet, but I'm going to take her to see it next week. Okay. So it makes sense.

What do you think about Kung Fu Panda taking the title? I'm really surprised. And the fact that it almost beats, like, it almost had an opening weekend that was the best of the series. It's super surprising on a fourth installment here. But I also think this speaks to people's love of Jack Black. Like, people have a genuine affection for Jack Black. He's got a new version of Britney Spears' song. Hit me one more time on the soundtrack.

And so he's been out there promoting it. And I think people enjoy him. You know, people look at the rock for the Jumagi thing. You've also got to look at Kevin Hart and Jack Black. Jack Black can pull people into theaters. The goosebumps film did well for what it was. And so I think Jack Black has that attraction for people.

And you're 100% right about the fact that, you know, people want to take their kids to something for God's sake. And so this film is out there for them to enjoy. And quality, you can cut on the quality a little bit because people know what this franchise is already, so they know they're going to get people in it. Will it have legs? That's going to be the thing in the next few weeks for it.

I think it's got more legs than Dune. Because you might be right. Because what we just talked about. June, if you're going, well, I want to watch a big movie in the theater, and I've seen Dune, what do I do? Godzilla and Kong, you want to just kind of shut your mind off and watch, you know, two months, right?

Sure, why now? Let's go have some popcorn. And the fact that it's cannibalizing itself with Warner Brothers is still, I can't believe that they're doing that. And then Ghostbusters is the other thing. Now Ghostbusters is the only thing that maybe some, because a lot of kids that grew up with Kung Fu Panda, I keep saying Kung Pu Fanda.

Keep saying it. I can't stop saying it. Kung Pu Fanda. Well, Kung Fu Fanda, like my oldest loves those movies, but she really wants to see Ghostbusters. She can't wait to see Ghostbusters. But the little one wants to. see kung poo fanda so that's but i think kung fu panda is going to have legs for sure but dune

now when you look at dune overall right now dune has made 367 worldwide yeah um if you average out i think you know another let's say it does what i don't know what did internationally this weekend but i know that it made 40-something for this weekend domestically and it let's let's say what it made like maybe another 70 this week, whatever it was. Yeah, because of China. It did really well in China. All right.

So let's say, I'm telling you, I think I'm thinking it's going to tap out around like between 600, 600. Yeah. It feels that way, right? I mean, 46 million is still good for a second weekend. I think the first Dune filmed at 41 million on its opening weekend. But of course, you want to judge it by what it is right now and the fact that it dropped this much, although still a little bit above.

because most people thought 40. So 46, not bad. But we'll see if it catches on internationally more and more. But it seems like it's very clear that it's heading towards six, seven at the most. And then we're going to call it a day. So unfortunately, I thought it would hit a billion. But clearly not as much people want to go see this film. Well, it's harder to do.

It's harder to get a, as I was telling you, when we talked about this initially, it's a dense film. It's a three, almost a three hour film. It's not a lighthearted film. And to me, it just makes sense that that's where it was going to end up. I think it's on part of doing exactly what it was going to do. I think that the billion dollar dart is not easy to hit. And I think, don't you think, because look, Oppenheimer just as dense,

Oppenheimer just as long, just as much of a downer, do you think they fucked up not putting this in the summer? Because I wonder if June, when the kids are out, when people are out, when people want to go to the theater, did they mess up not putting this out in June and maybe cost themselves some money? would it have crossed a billion if it had come out during the summer season. No, all the reviews. No, I think that November, when they originally had a plan, maybe you get a shot because of where it,

because it's the same problem it has now, is that you run into a lot. Barbie and Oppenheimer did not have a lot of competition last year. They owned the summer because I remember going, yeah, Mission Impossible was like one of them. Yeah, which underperformed. It underperformed because of when it came out. And then that was it, really. There was anything else. If you put this movie out,

especially when it's supposed to come out in November, and then you put it out in June, and then you got all, you got Deadpool, you got all these other movies, it gets eaten. Now, if you move it to November again, then you're like,

oh my God, how long do I got to wait for this? Plus, you got to, then when you get, what's the big one in December this year? Something big in December. I can't remember what it is. There's a few.

Wicked. Yeah, Wicked is in December. There's something else. There's something else in December that's big. Planet Eaps. Is that coming? No, that's May. That's like a couple weeks or a couple months.

It's something big in December. I have to go through it and look. But yeah, no, it's just, it's a different type of dance also. And it also, as they joked about last night, that Barbie one-two punch thing, that's like a one in a lifetime, once in a lifetime thing. Yeah. The other ones in December are the Mufasa movie, Karate Kid movie, and Lord of the Rings. Yeah. So Mufasa, I mean, that's another, Bufus said in a shot.

to be a big one because of um because of the same thing we're talking about with kung fu panda yeah same thing is it could be big for the and a good holiday movie and if it's good if it's because the thing i mean look shit man the lion king remake was the same movie just with it was the same movie and that movie made a billion dollars it was the same six a billion six man right right right the same movie so if they make an original one with mufassas see how he kind of I'm interested in that. I want to see how Mufasa kind of came to power. That's that's kind of interesting.

I mean, I don't, because the people go, well, I know that he dies. Not in that movie and die in that movie. I probably got to meet some new people. I know that he dies. You know what? The ship's sake of Titanic still made a billion. You know, come on. Yeah.

Yeah. Some of these people just too make a billion. I don't know about that. I think it'll be, I'm very excited for that movie. I'm very excited for that movie. And the, the, the rumors that it's more practical effects, and it's not a lot of cg i mean well not a lot of you know blue screen screen screens whatever um yeah yeah yeah yeah and then oh how about that shot they took a transformers one transformers uh last night that was hilarious

i thought that was when you talked about i'm the transformers man i still liked it was funny that's well that that's my point is that if you it's funny jokes you could be able to laugh at yourself and you'll laugh at things that you that you like even if it's like i was going and i don't like where he went or who he went after on that one but that was funny like that's i mean that's Look, here's the other thing. This happened over the weekend with us. If you've been watching this channel, you know that we crack jokes on everything, right? So Winston was on Caps and Cowls on Friday, and he told this.

Yeah, Winston's the best. And we were telling this story about, and I said, I was talking about, what's the, I still can't remember his name. The kid who played Flash, Grant, what's his name? Greg Guston. Yeah. Right. Well, I called him Grant Gustafon. and and I and they and they we caught it quick and we started laughing about it and then Winston's like oh you reminded me of when I when I when I took my ex-girlfriend her name was it was similar and he's like and then I went to I went to pick her up for this thing and her dad was on the balcony with a shotgun and and I'm like I get it you're being the protective dad but you know the implications of an old white man sitting on the sitting on the on the chair with a shotgun and Corey goes where was this and he goes

He goes, Texas. And I go, yeah. And we started laughing about it. And this guy's like, you lost a subscriber because you're making fun of Texas. I was like, in saying that it's racist, like, that's not what I said. I'm saying if you tell that story and you go, what state do you think this happened then? Because Winston didn't even say the guy. He didn't say the guy was racist.

He said that he was sitting in with a gun to protect his daughter. And you're like, well, that's Texas. Okay. And most people that were from Texas are going, yeah. I can see it. And most people take pride in that shit. Most of me from Texas. So. And I'm going and I said to the guy, look, man. I said, look, I thought he was kidding at first. I think he was kidding. And I'm like, if you really, I'm like, if you, I'm not going to go make fun of the guys. Like, if you got, if you get upset on that, then you're definitely watching the wrong channel. Because we got to be able to goof on things. And like, and had I said, well, yeah, because Texas is a bunch of racist people. Then you have every right to come after me. That's ignorant. Generalization. That's not what I said. We were goofing on it. And Winston's from Texas.

He's just laughing. I'm like, you can't. And I said, and I said, this is the problem. Everyone gets so offended at everything now. Yeah,

the only both sides argument I'll accept is that both sides are getting way too sensitive about everything. Yeah. About these kinds of, no, I'm not saying I excuse certain jokes. I'm not saying that, but like,

we got to be able to joke about certain things for fuck's sakes. Just to fucking alleviate. Yeah. I was kidding. And negative. I thought he was kidding, dude. I thought I thought I thought I thought I thought that's that's hilarious and he's no I'm telling my friends don't subscribe too.

I'm like that if they find that if they don't find if they think that it that's anything except the joke then yeah you guys should find a different channel. It's like that's that's that I can't I can't do it anymore. I'm too far. Of course you can't. Who can do? At this point I'm like dude yeah either okay if you got offended by it I appreciate it. I understand I'm sorry you got offended but you're right you should and I like I said

It's the guy's right. Sure. But it goes back to what we talked about in the beginning, right? That goes back to the point. And what are we talking about? So many times with comedians. If someone tells a joke that you don't like, you have the right to, if it's a comedy special,

not watch the special, not watch the show, unsubscribe from the channel, do it. You have your right to do that. You don't have the right to say, you can't tell those jokes. You can't do that. Comedians can tell any joke they want. They face the repercussions of it no matter what.

Yeah, consequences. But there's certain things that, like, I don't, like, I don't feel depending on, depending on what a joke and how a joke is structured and things too, like we've mentioned this, right? There are certain things sometimes that, like, we talk about the Shane Gillis, right? Shane Gillis said a particular thing, like when people were trying to go after him and cancel him on Saturday Live, I thought it was ridiculous. But then you go to Michael Richards of what he did. That wasn't joke. That was anger. That was anger going after and racially going after somebody. It's not a joke.

That's just racially calling someone a name that anybody can do, not a comedian. It wasn't a crafted comedian joke. So there's differences in it. Terrible image too. Terrible, terrible. Okay. So the other thing I wanted to talk to you about, you know, the show that I'm, as you see,

my buddy made this one, this, this, this, Aaron made this, it's great stuff. But there's a show coming out, man, right now by the dudes at Game of Thrones, Bane F and Weiss, the three-body problem. Yeah. Reviews are in. Have you looked at any of these reviews?

I did not get the Netflix screeners for this one, so I have not seen it. I haven't seen it either, but I'm just, I'm just saying the review. are out. And? And I haven't looked yet. We're doing this together. Let's take a look. What are you doing? Game of Thrones, writers, this is Dark Horizons, writers, producers, Benignoff and Weiss return with the Netflix sci-fi series three body problem, a lavish new drama that has overtaken the live action one piece to become the most expensive first season of any show on Netflix at 20 million an episode. That's a lot of money. The reviews for this trippy sci-fi tale, based on Lou Sixthens' novels aren't as kind as they were for the private adventure, the pirate adventure, not private, following its premiere at South by Southwest. Three Body Problem has clocked up a relatively average 71% on Rock.

The Hugo Award-winning novel trilogy runs from 1960s on Earth until the end of time in the distant fringes of the universe and boasts an expansive cast, including Jovan Adipo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chow, Liam Cunningham, Isaac Gonzalez, Jess Hong, Marlowe Kelly, Benedict Wong, and Jonathan Price. There's a ton of praise for the show's ambition and scale, but criticisms are abound in regards to its characterizations and overall writing. It's rare to see this kind of hard sci-fi on screen with the financial foundations in place to fully realize what is a complex and brazen vision of our world. It says the rap. a hugely ambitious adaptation of a hugely ambitious book. As an opening season, it feels like a setup for something bigger,

but what's here is thoroughly impressive giant-scale television. That's from Total Film. Three-body Problem certainly has its high points, but the convolution of plot manages to damper any goodwill. The episodes conjure up with the audience from Awards Watch. And the last one here is the fact is three-body problem is pedestrian at best, when it should be epic. And that's a problem from deadline.

Um, there's a few more that you can read there. They're, they kind of sum it up. But, um, it's a bummer. You know, I think that this is gonna, I think this is a, this one needs to hit for many off in ways because they're coming off of that last season, a game of Thrones, which I think you and I both enjoyed for the most part. Yes. Yeah.

I like, I didn't mind it. I understand people's criticism with it, especially if you're like the big book fans, but I didn't mind it. Um, but this is a big, this is a big, they need this, they need this show to hit big. They really do, especially $20 million a pop. I think what you said is right. I mean, because when they veered off the source material of Game of Thrones is where a lot of Game of Thrones fans got critical of what Penny Off and Weiss could do.

They lost the Star Wars movie for what we hear are differing recounts of the account of why they were off that film or that film. And now they come out of this. And it seems like, and I was looking at some of the reviews while you were reading them, it seems like a pretty divisive situation. Variety liked it. Hollywood Reporter did not. Indie Wire didn't like it. So it seems to be a divisive thing.

And 71% is not where you want to start out. With an already dense series like this, you want people to commit to the series. And a lot of people have a lot of other things they can watch right now. And so you see reviews like this. Like, do I really want to invest in this? But Netflix has kind of overcome reviews in the past before

on some of their stuff here, man. Avatar lost Airbender just got two and three seasons renewed. That's different though. It wasn't reviewed that great. I know. It already has a following and a fan base. That's such a fan base that they were like, yeah. Because I, but what I will say about that is that the one piece is an example.

And then Avatar, the same example is that I wouldn't have never watched one piece. I would never watch it. It just what did his preview was that it was for me, right? I'm not a big anime guy. I didn't know. And then I started hearing so much buzz from it. I started hearing so much buzz from it. And I don't want to check it out because my daughter was a fan of it.

And I'm like, I'll watch one episode. And then I watched, I did a whole rewatch series because I loved it. Loved it. I thought it was done so well that I wanted to check it out. Now, Avatar was what I was going to start doing reactions to. And then I heard fans going, eh, and I'm like, forget it. I'm just not going to, I'm not going to dive into it. Maybe I'll check it out because of what you just said.

Yeah. There's so many other things. I still haven't watched Shogun. And I want to watch Shogga. God damn it. I know. And I want to watch. So I'm like, that is one I want to watch.

And that is when I want to start checking out. That's first on my list before I get to three body problems, before I get to any of that stuff. I'm doing Shogun first. And even though the subject matter, clearly, is something that I should be checking out. And my fingers are crossed. I'm hoping it's going to be good.

But it's a lot. Again, when majority is going 71%, you know, scratch of the head. Yeah, you start to worry. You start to worry. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. All right.

So I ask you guys, by the way, make sure that you put your comments in there and whether it's on the replay or now. And as John and I said in the beginning, we'll say, now throw your questions in as we're going to cut, hit like one or two more stories. But throw your questions in because we're going to get to all of them. And then we'll be here until the last one is Dunski.

Let me see if there's anything else in particular that we should really cover here today. We did the box office. We talked about Beetlejuice. you know, Michael Keaton talked about Beetlejuice. Did you see that? With Josh? I'm sure he does, but that not, this is an older one. Okay.

He came out last week. He's hyping up Beetlejuice. Okay. And so Michael Keaton sees an early Beetlejuice sequel cut. So stars always talk up their films. That's part of the job. Of course. But veteran actors are generally a bit more candid and truthful in their assessment of the films.

Michael Keaton has spoken about Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, the long in the work sequel to Tim Burton's iconic 1988 dark comedy, Beetlejuice that came out this fall. It's coming out this fall, excuse me. Keaton reprises his role of the vile, bio-exorcist

spook in the film, and it has previously gushed about how much fun he had shooting the movie and loved how practical the effects were. Now it seems he's seen an early cut. Speaking on Sirius' X-M's the Jess Kegel show, he said, it's just so fun. And I've seen it now. I'm going to see it again after a couple of little tweaks

in the editing room and I can confidently say that this thing is great. Keaton added that he rewatched the original to get back into the character for the sequel. I probably only really seen in the beginning once or twice maybe. So I hadn't seen it in a long, long time. So I did go back and look at it again. It's beautiful, beautiful physically. The other one, the sequel, was so fun and exciting visually. It's all that but really beautiful and interestingly emotional here in there. I wasn't ready for that. It's great. He adds that Catherine O'Hara was doubly funny in the sequel, which also

stars Winona Ryder, General Ortega, Monica Balucci, Willam Defoe, Justin Thoreau, Arthur Conti, and Byrne Gorman. So, John, you hear these statements by Keaton, yes, actors hype up their movies, but he doesn't normally do that.

Yeah. So with his partnership, do you take this as, what do you take this? Is this someone hyping up their movie? I think, I don't have a memory of of him what he said about the Flash movie. So I don't know if he was hyping up the Flash movie and we saw how that turned out by people's opinions on the film in the box office and what have to.

So I don't know if he's doing a James Cameron here. But I agree with you. I think Keaton is one of these people, for better or worse, that speaks his mind. And you'll get his honest opinion. So he may be delivering his honest opinion here. I'm going to go on that side that he is.

And some people may not agree with it when they see the movie, but it doesn't mean he didn't deliver his honest opinion. And so that's what you, I think you can always bank on that from Michael Keaton. He just has that vibe. Yeah. Well, look, this movie has been excited. They weren't lying about it. It's been worse.

You know, this movie, this movie has been in development. Oh, at least like from like, let's get it done for at least 10 years, at least. And I can tell you that because schmowsno.com broke the story. If you Google shmosno.com, Beetlejuice 2. We broke the story. that they were working on another one. That's when we were running a website. That's how long ago that was.

And that's before that's how, I think that's one of the reports that got, do you know the famous story with Snyder and I and how all that? Like the guys get mad at each other? He got mad. I didn't get mad at him. I didn't know. You don't get mad at people. Yeah.

And so when it was, when it was 2014, 2014. Okay. So we, I was getting emails from somebody who was giving. me very accurate we did like we knew the magnificent seven was coming we knew all this stuff was going to all this it was getting really good good tips at the time and like real like very accurate ones from someone very tied into the business that i was getting stuff and i got this thing that beetle juice was coming i was like well i said riley write it up write it up because we didn't all we did we just shows you we didn't know what we're doing we're like we didn't check with anybody

we didn't check we didn't check if it was there was any studio heads or anything too he said oh really like, run it. And the trades were getting furious at us because this is stuff that, you know, like, you know how it goes. They're chasing these stories and these leads for a bit. And then who the hell is this? So Snyder's like, who are these idiots? Like, who are them?

Like, some like morons in their basement and like in Kansas, who knows where they are. In Philly, who knows? And what are they doing? And I saw him start coming after us. And if it was for a bit. and then I said to my friend, my friend Toby, who we had mutual friends, I looked at Facebook, and said, who's mutual friends with this friend guy? And then Snyder and I went to get pizza together.

And I said, dude, let's talk about this because this is silly. And then we did. And that was the end of it. Jeff leads with his emotions, but he's also rational when you finally sit down and talk with him. And so that's always a credit to Jeff. No surprise, but Jeff is always like that. But nowadays, like I've seen him. at Collider and other places

when new sites pop up. Jeff is always willing now and maybe because the experience with you maybe he's always willing now to talk with them and guide them and he's never like don't do it or you know this is changing he's much more helpful. Yeah well the business has changed dramatically

in 10 years dramatically from where you'd have there were no like the same thing YouTube channels and all that because when I started when I started meet the movie press and put him on that show he didn't want to break stories on that show you know that sounds familiar but he didn't want to break stories on that show he didn't want to do it because like he was working at he was working at i

don't know where he was it whether he was at variety wherever he was but he just couldn't he just couldn't do it and things are just changed things change yeah um okay so i think i think that's the majority of it man like when it comes to beatles just two let me just finish up with that is that was the whole point of that story um is that beatleges two has been in production for very long time. And I think that Tim Burton is going to put his heart and soul into it. I will say that the best thing that I saw him do recently was Wednesday. I think that when is Wednesday season two?

Is that this year it is, right? I think it is this year. They've been shooting it since last year. You know, like it is. And let me see, because this is actually partial to my reasoning here. But Wednesday season two premiere date, it says, Wednesday will be moving. I don't see anything yet.

It looks like early to mid-20205 because of the strikes. Oh, well, that never much. Well, because what I was going to say, what I was going to say is that basically what they would be able to do is put it out in like September, right? Build even more hype off of Jenna Ortega and then firing into it. But she's a big enough start too that you're going to get people, you're going to get, you know, the people like my daughter in there don't want to see. and all those stuff.

And don't discount the fans of the musical also. Oh, yeah. So I think it does really well. I think it has a good, it's October. It's a good time for that movie to come out. I think it does fairly well. Agreed. All right.

Okay, we're going to get to your questions, guys, because I'm excited. You guys have put a lot of great questions in there, and we're going to do that, and we're going to get it to all of them into the last one here. And before we do it, I'm really pumped up because in the beginning, shoot, I just saw that,

one thing than the other. Okay. My perfect day has sand, salt, water, and friends. But my moderate to severe plaques psoriasis can take me out of the moment. Now I'm all in with clearer skin thanks to Sky Rizzi. Rizzen Kizumat Rizza, a prescription only 150 milligram injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy.

Ask your doctor about Skyrizzi, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic in psoriasis. Visit Skyrizzi.com or call 1866 Skyrizzi to learn.

more. So tons of questions. And again, I'm going to give prompts to Ed Harrell, our long time, who gave me the idea to say, like, hey, listen, man, put your stream available on the weekends because it gives it a people opportunity who are not going to be able to be there to ask you guys questions. And exactly what I did. And he was exactly right. People threw in some questions from Saturday and Sunday when I made this thing live. I had to re-update the thumbnail because I asked John for a picture on Saturday. It gives me Sunday night. You know what? A man is busy this weekend. There was a lot going on.

Well, we're joined by a legend. Hank Pimp. Hey. I've been meaning to ask for a while, but what happened to the old Schmo's reviews? I used to always go back and watch them. Also, Roka, you're the man. Oh, thank you. Thank you. So thank you for asking about the reviews. They've been, for a while, the reviews have been private, and they still mostly are on the Schmodeon channel. We wanted to get the Schmodeon channel.

But we wanted to get the Schmodeown channel in general up and running to and Frank Janish has been really got to give him all the prompts in the world. He's been maintaining that thing. It's like running the old WBE network. He's got to put everything up. There's all this different stuff. He's reorganizing the entire thing. So if you notice, the playlists are getting updated and there's new videos like every single match. Everything is there.

So the old Schmo's reviews are going to, a lot of them are public. You just got to look for them. and there's going to be more, and I'm going to make a playlist for it. The Shmows, no live shows will only be available to patrons, but the reviews themselves, they're gradually, and how long it's going to take,

I don't know, but gradually they're all going to be back up on the Shmowdown channel. So there you go. Okay, let's keep going here. Yeah, so many. We've got a lot of great questions there. A lot of Oscar questions. So I didn't notice that.

I didn't see this, but Jonah, Clor says, cool to see Tiffany Smith on the red carpet. coverage. Now we need Finstock hosting the Oscars. I paid billions of dollars to watch it happen. Any plans for either of them on the big thing? Tiffany's been on before. She was on one-on-one during the pandemic. I have to have her back in. Tiffany Smith is one of my favorite people of all time. One of the reasons, John, and I don't know the last time you spoke to her, but like,

she always sends me a text. Yep. She'll send me a text, whether it's, you know, I haven't heard from her two months, three months. She always sends a text. She says, hey, just checking in. How are you doing? She's just the pure definition of a good person. 100%, man. She's a great follow on social media.

And you're right. Same thing. Every few months, I've got a text from her thinking about, you saw this, reminded me of you checking in, seeing how you're doing. And remember, and Christian might not remember this, but like when I started out, Christian is the one to walk me through the door. And then Christian went to take another opportunity,

left the Star Wars show. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me into this business than Tiffany Smith. She was so gracious to me. She was so incredible in teaching me the business and learning how to put shows together. And she always brought me free DC comics at the time when she was working.

And so I've always been nothing but compliment and grateful to her. And seeing her explode has been amazing. Yeah, I didn't see her. Did you see her on the carpet? Yeah, I watched her on the carpet for an hour. What was she? Which one was she?

She was for her. She was for E. She was doing it for E. Okay. Because I just didn't see any of the pre-show. So I probably would have seen her. Good. She deserves to. She's the best.

As far as having them on the show, you Finstock, look, I've been trying to get Finstock on this show. The guy's like golfing right now. He's golfing. Right now, I guarantee you he's golfing.

I don't know what he's doing. The only time I can get a response to him is when I, when I text him something about Stallone. He's on an oil wig, like Armageddon 2 and shit. So the plans, sure. Realistic? Don't know. Ronetta, W. American fiction. After he won the Bapth, I had a feeling. I'm so happy for court, truly deserving. And what a great speech. Well done. Not all movies have to be made for 200 mil, well said. Yeah, that was the best. Yeah. It was the best. Like, I'm like, yes, but the problem is this. No studio head is listening to that. Of course, no. Because I just think, oh, there's a bunch of creatives that don't get it. Yeah. And the only way that you kind of cross your fingers and hope that they get it is because they're seeing their returns are not coming back the way that they want them to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You look at the Kung Fu Panda. Look, look at Kung Pu Fanda. Kung Fu Fanda is a perfect example, though, of the studio going, let's cut it. Let's cut it down. Even though Aquafina has played this role in animation 87 times this year. I feel like she's going from one booth to the next booth in the same building and just recording it's the same role. She does the same role in every animated film that she's in. Like there are other people you can get an Aquafina to do voices for this,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, it's taking away, it takes me out of it now because I'm like, oh, there's aquafina again. I agree with you. I like her. Yeah. I like Aquafina. Nora from Queens is a great show.

She's awesome on that show. Yeah. Uh, Benny. What are your top favorite Hans Zimmer scores? That's always so hard to do the top five questions when they come in. I'll just give you, like, inception, like, time is really good. got the new dune theme the the last couple the love theme that he's got from dune is incredible i have to go through all of them like top five is really hard for me to do the dark night i mean it's just

i want to look at his resume and then go that that that that that that i mean so it's hard to do a top five dark night man of steel pirates of caribbean and the dune stuff right now right off of that that's what you get for dollars perfect benny again he's just four dollars really if you look at it john what are your who's your favorite soccer player of all time Let me see if I can You're a nightly. My favorite soccer player at all time is That doesn't work.

All right. All right. There's Penny again. Thoughts on Sir Julian's Once Upon a Time in America. Have you ever seen it? I think it's a masterpiece. It's a crime. What that film went through.

You know, I've never seen. that movie? Really? Yeah, last Sergio Leone epic. I love the movie. I don't like the ending. James Woods is good. De Niro is good. Elizabeth McGovern is good. But

there's, it doesn't have quite the same magic as like the godfather. So it's suffered by comparison coming out so close around that time. It's pretty crazy that I haven't seen that movie. It's three hours, man. All right. Crawton Runner. A huge thanks to John for a superb watch along the

Thanks, Christian for Magic Spoon. It was my fuel during the night here in UK. I'm getting a lot of people that have been signing up for Magic Spoon, and I love it because I fired through a whole bowl of it the other day when I was, I was like, I was like, I need some protein man, and I was like working in here, and I just fired down a bowl of cereal, and it was Magic Spoon is the bomb, so glad. But, yeah, too, so you're- Carlton said he had four bowls of it during the Washington.

He loved it. And your stream went pretty well? Yeah, pretty well, yeah. I didn't do any time stamps yet. do that after we're done with the show because honestly dude once you do a three and a half hour fucking live stream the last thing I want to do is go back and rewatch it and put timestamps so I

gave myself a break last time I'm not with the lady that's what it is it's like we both you and I we work for each other you know it's like you work you work for yourself and it's like when when you're doing that it's like people people with this time stamps it's like listen if I have the time to do it I do it if I don't fucking do

it watch the show the people there are people who do that there are people who do that for I would love you guys been doing it AI that it doesn't I mean you can't it doesn't then he puts it in the comments I'm like it doesn't work because if I because they want me to cut and paste it and put it in the description it doesn't register and I still have to do all the work because I got to move all the stupid things that the AI creates and I can't it doesn't work there's one guy that was

doing it for a bit and I'll cut and paste it but I like to do it for myself like when I it's hard to do on this show because we're live you know someone does that I usually put it back in but I understand the the importance of time Samson and here's another little a little trick for you everybody for people who wanted to do YouTube videos, timestamps are very helpful for the algorithm because you're putting more keywords in there when you're doing the algorithm. So when you're talking about certain things and you're putting your time codes in there, it is beneficial for us to do time codes also. So it's not that we don't want to do them. It's just time. It's exhausting. Yeah. Carlton Rudder. Blunt

and Gosling honored the unsung heroes of stunt performers. Yeah, Shirley Academy has to create this category now. Nice promo for the fall guy. Yeah, there was a few of those that I thought was, was pretty good. But I did like that and I thought for Fall Guy that was a good way to do that. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure it's coming. I mean, they just did the casting thing, which they announced.

So we'll get the stunt very soon. Louis Tan tweeted about it as well. Very like, it's ridiculous that we only get two minutes. And you totally respect that. So, you know, let's make it happen. I'm sure it will happen soon. Yeah.

Um, okay. Ralph. Hey, my eye see up. And I'm, uh, it's hard. to watch New Hope without thinking of Dune. No spoilers, but wait until you watch Dune Messiah and see two major plot points that Lucas stole for the prequel. When does borrowing become stealing?

I think that there's, you know, if it's ideas and notions and little plot points here and there, you'll see in every movie. Like you can watch a movie and go, oh, that's just like when this happened. And even when people are pitching movies, they're like, oh, yeah, it's kind of like, we're going to do this scene where, well, yeah, De Niro's going to walk in and we'll kind of It'll be very similar to what Nolan did in this one and we'll do that. That happens all the time. And there is a good question in there of like, well, how much of it is?

This is just essentially the same movie as opposed to a same scene or a same deal. And then you look at like stand-up comedy. Like there's times that you can do a, I'll give you a perfect example. I have a joke that I talk about with my now six-year-old about how the Silvio Dante thing where she's like a soprano. And when I was doing this joke and I was right. right in the joke. I'm like, yeah, because she's like a little gangster. And I was like, well, my buddy Steve Simone has a gangster joke about kids. And I don't want him to feel like it's going to be in the same neighborhood. So I called him. And I called Steve. And I said, look,

this is my joke that I'm doing about my daughter. And it's within the same neighborhood. And he goes, it's completely different because you are, you are basically giving a characterization to her and doing And we had a long conversation about it, but he's like, you have my full blessing to do it on stage. Kick out. And like, there is a, there's a, you've got, you've like, and Steve's one of my really good friends. So I was like, made sure right away, I'm like, I'm going to call him and see. Because if he, because I would tell you right now, if he's like, yeah, it's too close to my bit. Don't do it.

I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have done it. Yeah. Well, it was just like, and I love that joke, but if he, if he would have felt that way, but he didn't. And I felt, and that's why I called him because I didn't feel like it was in there. but there are those are the things you got to worry but then you're looking like carousmancia with the stuff that he did with cosby stuff and ari sheffier's jokes and it's just like that's not that's not that's not that's not in the same neighborhood that's the same house it's like a supreme court said about pornography i don't i can't define

it but i know it want to see it in terms of stealing and borrowing right and look people now 47 years later are getting upset about uh star wars and george lucas and it took a great adaptation of dune for people to be like, wait a minute. Look, I get it. You're upset. But look, you're not going to take away the effect of Star Wars on people. Is that happening a lot? Yeah, people are starting to talk about it on social media. Like, what the fuck? Lucas stole this. Lucas stole that. The spice. Why did he change the spice? And it's like, look, he did what he did. Frank Herbert reportedly pursued suing him, but. Oh, really? Yeah, didn't see the logic in it and didn't think he was going to win. So just went ahead and kept doing his thing. And look, people are going to steal, people going to borrow. It's all a matter of, because look, you can

accuse Tarantino of stealing for fuck's sake. A lot of his films are influenced by those 70s exploitation films. Or the kung fu films. It's how you do it, right? The kung fu films. But it's how you do it. And clearly, Lucas did it really well enough to create a whole massive franchise out of it. Yeah, I'm not going down that route.

And I'm someone, I got no, I got no shame in saying that. So that Galaxy Geeks posted this poll the other day. It's like, are you more of a Dune fan than a Star Wars fan? And I was like, are we talking about right now? What's talking about today? I'll tell you right now. do it all day long they're doing it better it's a better product it's only one movie it's only two movies it's only two movies as opposed to everything else that star wars is

trying to do the star wars have the potential to turn around because they have so much ammo absolutely yeah but right now if you have said well you can watch any one of the new star wars things that came out or dune one and two I'd have a tough time with the end or but I'd probably still take dune one and two well and here's the deal we if we keep going with these books all these people we're crawling about Dune are going to have some real come-to-jesus moments when we find out what happens to Paul Atreides' kids and the decisions they make. I'm just throwing it out there.

It gets freaky, is what I'm saying. Ralph! My eyes see up in time he shows up, I'm going to say that out. Lucas never acknowledged Dune. I did my research and couldn't find anything where he talks about it and avoids it like Flonio avoids Andrew. Thank you for saying that, Ralph. Finally, someone on my side.

In 1970, he brought it up once on Star Wars Celebration when he had to. It's the worst. It's the worst. Look, you look at this footage when he brings it up. He had to. In the 1977 press interview, when asked up June was inspiration, Lucas declined to comment. Oh, wow.

Probably legally. They probably told him, don't say a damn word. That's great. That's great. I didn't. Ralph. I see up and I'm a. Frank Herbert saw 16 points that were in a new hope that were identity of Dune.

That is from his son, Brian Herbert. Anyway, sorry if it sounded like I'm talking trash about Star Wars. No, no, I get it. Yeah. I get it. Look, it is a bit. It's a story for sure. And like, but as Roka said, Dune right now is is stealing the spotlight.

And Dune is, is coming up there. You know, and look, Dune is more adult friendly and star-friendly and star- Wars pop because it's more kid friendly as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mike's movie madness coming in hot. I love that the Oscars honor old Hollywood, but my God, they need to stop letting them

give out best picture. I love Pacino, but that was too, Pacino. Yeah, I love Pacino, but that was an awful moment to a good show. Yes, yes. Damn it. You're so bad. To end the show.

Yeah, yeah. It's like a terrible post-credit scene. You're like, oh, no. No, it's not a good time. It's like my dad fiddling with the remote to figure out how to turn HBO Max on. It's like, what is this? Where is we go? Is it Max?

Oh, come on. You just turn it, just turn it on. Oh, forget it. That's really what it was. Josh Needle. Haven't watched the Oscars in years. Nothing but a celebrity circle jerk show with a bar house. It needs a total overhaul.

Wish they would take some inspiration from the game awards, but that's just me. I'm, listen, before that though, but look, before that, though, before he didn't watch it, I would have, if that comment would have come in and he would have said, I don't want to watch it it because it's like, yeah, you're right, all these things. I just thought it was structured very differently this year and I thought it flowed a lot better. The celebrity, again, I'm going to push back on this celebrity jerk thing. That's the whole point of the, as long as they're celebrating movies and celebrating performances, I use the wrestling, the wrestling analogy.

It's the same thing. If you're a fan of it, that's why you're watching it. You're a better person than me, because you know, angry about this. And I'll just say this. It's such a stupid thing to say because that is a place that all these actors have influenced your fucking lives. All of you quoting fucking Scarface, all of you quoting this stuff or talking about your favorite scenes and movies. These are all actors, okay? And so you love them. And one night a year for a whopping three to four hours, they get to talk about the stuff that they worked really hard to create and hope that you like.

and that's oh fucking K. You guys will live. Get over. I don't have people get so mad about this stuff. Well, my thing about when it goes too far. I totally understand. That's my pushback on it.

As long as you're actually celebrating, you're watching, the reason you're tuning into the awards, if you are, but he might be saying in general, though, which is fair, I don't watch these things

that I don't care about people celebrating themselves, so I never watch it. But if you're like, well, I don't watch it because I was tuning in to watch this, and that's all it is. Yeah, that's what it is. But if you don't like it because of that, I think that's fair to say.

Yeah, but what you're doing is conveniently ignoring how many people who win awards for the first time, how many people from different cultures get recognized for the first time. And it's really meaningful to them. And they inspire other people to create films that are going to move you, including Mr. Hate, Circle Jerk people, to do something in your life. So you just never know. And the disrespect towards that thing just drives me insane. It's like one night for three, four hours. Like, I do think it's one another reason why it needs to be on streaming because if you say it. I've seen that for years too, yeah. Because it's like, look, I don't watch.

I don't, it's on my, it's on Netflix. I didn't tune into it because it's just not my thing. Like, I think that's a better way to ultimately kind of go about it. But yeah, yeah, all right. So Tim Simp. Yeah. What I learned last night from Roka's Oscars watch along, it's indeed rare for a masterpiece to win 10 Oscars or more. Yeah.

And winning at least one is great, especially for Oppenheimer seven. where will Nolan go next? Who knows? The answer to that, Tim, is wherever he wants to. Now? Yes. He wants to make a movie about 7-11. People are going to watch it.

You know, nothing is 7-11. But I think that, yeah, it won seven. Is that what it won? Seven out of its, I think it was nominated for 13. Okay. Seven out of its 13, yeah. But still, like, it won the most awards of the night. A lot.

So, it won a lot. Yeah. And I do like, I love that American fiction got some love. Part we won at least one with the song. Yeah, which is good. Yeah. I told you, though, when we were talking months ago, there was no chance Barbie was going to get anywhere near winning awards.

You and Jeff were thinking that. I didn't know what was going to happen because of that film, and people thought it had a really powerful effect, but clearly the Academy felt differently about that movie, bro. I mean, adapted screenplay was its best opportunity, and it got beat by a foreign film. And even then, but even then, adapted screenplay, what was it really adapted from a toy? Right.

That's what they claim. That's the rules of the academy. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say, you can't win that award for adapted screenplay. Because it's, it's essentially an original screenplay. It's like if you go, well, I, it's totally. So if I, so someone created a doll is what it looks like.

So if someone created a doll of me, yeah, holding a microphone. And I made a movie about me with the microphone, it's adapted screenplay because it was based off that doll. Yeah, that's silly. I agree. I agree. I think it's ridiculous. It's the best original screenplay. Original what it was?

Yeah, it wasn't like books and comics and things of that nature, but come on. All right. Next one. And thank you, Tim, by the way. Love Tim. Korean Empire. Corian Empire. Excuse me.

Emperor. I went from sad to mad that Lily Gladstone didn't win. Emma was amazing and deserved it. My butt is that who knows when or even if Lily will get another great role. Yeah, listen, that's, well, the problem with that is you think that Emma was great. And it goes back to like people getting legacy awards. Yep.

What the award should be is vote for who you thought was the best. Right. That's it. And my wife asked me, she goes, who do you think should win? And I said, it's either Lily or Emma. and then when Emma won, she goes, do you think that she should have? And I go, yeah, and I think the reason why

is as great as I do think that she is the lead actress in that film. It's not, by definition, she doesn't have, because she's, it's one of Roker's biggest criticism with the films. Yep. She's in bed for 45 minutes for the film.

Yeah. I, look, you guys know, I'll be the first one on the front lines when I think something is being done wrong that I think is, racist or has hints of racism.

This is not the case, okay? Emma Stone delivered an incredible form. By the way, it's on Hulu now. You can watch four things if you guys haven't watched it and see what she delivers in this film. And we should not be giving awards to people just to be like, well, we don't know when they're ever going to win again.

That's not the Academy's job. It's the loan. And by the way, this is the most diverse Academy membership ever, the most women who've been a part of the Academy higher percentages this year than ever. So at the end of the day, they felt Emma's performance because she's in 95% of the fucking movie

was of more value than Lily, who Scorsese is screwed by putting in bed for 45 minutes of the film. And it's not about, like, we should be doing this. That's nonsense. It's absolutely about now that we've got a more diverse boating body, it's absolutely about who is the best. Now, in the past,

do I think there was racism involved or unconscious racism, yes, because it was an overall, almost all-majority white old-man voting. Now we're much more diverse. So these claims, I think, have less and less validity. Well, and I think that it brings validity to the awards, and not this particular award in general, but in general that this is the process, it brings validity to the process. It's like, no, who did you really believe was the best? And that brings validity to it.

And I, look, I would have been okay with either one of them winning, but do I think Emma Stone deserved it? I do. I think she was phenomenal in the role. I think she was phenomenal. And the only person I would have liked to see win, even though I love that Downey won, was Ruffalo because no one has made me laugh like that in a movie.

Belly laughing to the point where I was going to wake up my little one and I didn't care. Belly laughing. Yeah. And by the way, I think Kerry Mulligan was better than Lily and Emma in Maestro. It's going to be hard to argue with you. on that. She was incredible in that movie. But people were voting for Emma or voting for Lily and forgot because people didn't like

Maestro or was split. Carrie got screwed by that. She was incredible in that film. It's so funny you say that, man, because after I saw that performance, I was like, you know what? Might be a new contender in town, but then she started losing everything. And so last night, I even forgot she was nominated. And when she was not, when they brought her up, I'm like, oh, my God, she's probably my favorite performance. But I just knew she wasn't going to win. Like if it would have been like, you know, she was so good in that role. She was, she stole that movie from Bradley hands down. A hundred percent. Yeah. Tim's back and speaking of if Oscar should take inspiration from the game awards. It's a horrible idea. It means too many

world premiere trailers to take high priority and less time for the awards to recognize the winners. That's fair. It wasn't Pacino at the game awards and did the same thing. Fubble the ball and presenting the thing. So comparing it to an award show where Pacino did the same thing. Did. What was he doing at the game? Last night, I get it. But like, you know, it's like when you have that, like you said, I guess

when they just had Al do it. Yeah. He's a legend. Put him up there. It's like, Al ain't in the spotlight as much anymore. I'll's got to be what, 82 years old? And how many gamers are like, oh, Al Pacino? Right. Right. Mike Joyce. I like the past winners.

Speaking about the nominees more than the clips, what do you do you prefer? I liked it. I dug it. I think that it, because it goes back to my, the wrestling mentality of mine. Like if I, there was like this presentation and it was like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, the rock, like, you know, presenting someone an award. I'd be like, that's freaking cool. This is the business that you like and this is the industry that you like and to honor past performances. And it also, what it does too is gives you an idea of like, oh, Shawshank, I haven't watched that in a while. I'm going to watch that. Tim, there's Tim. Yeah. So, yeah, I did dig it. I'm agreeing with Roka on that one. All right, Mike, not many

better Oscar moments than Schwarzenegger and DeVito versus Keaton. I should watch Twins. Have you never seen it? Oh my God, I watched Twins recently. Yeah, so good. So good. Lake Great Kelly Preston, man. Man, you don't say it.

Matt B. Not one, but two jokes at Madam Websey's we didn't talk about that, right? Will the public humiliation be enough for Sony to change your ways? My money is on no. I would bet with you on that. No, they won't change it. It's too silly.

and they probably think that that was good publicity for them. Although even though, oh, we didn't talk about on Mulaney. Oh, that was great. That field of dreams thing was awesome. Yeah.

That is a comedian who knows what he does. And there, there's a skill set in there because you could feel like as a comic as I'm watching it. And I'm going, I know exactly what he's doing right now. He's building on that moment because, When you're sitting in there, you're like, oh, okay, he's talking about Field of Dreams. He's still talking about Field of Dreams.

He's still talking about Field of Dreams. Oh, he's going to do the whole shot synopsis of Field of Dreams. And it was so great, especially if you know Field of Dreams. Oh, yeah. And I was like, I love that moment. But then, yeah, he took a shot at Madam Webb. And even though technically that line actually wasn't in the movie. Wasn't in the movie.

Either way. But I love, yeah, I love that they took two cracks on Madam Webb. No, Sony won't change your wage. I love that he called a name dropped Timothy Busfield and Gabby Hoffman. So I thought that was awesome. Great. I had him name called. But then the other, or name dropped them.

But yes, you're right. Because if Vandem 3 and Craven come out and do blockbusters, Sony ain't going to be listening to any of us about Madam Webb. Not at all. Not at all. Let me see. I'm going to keep going here. So, yeah, Madam Webb.

And again, thank you guys. Everybody who's putting in, I see more questions coming in. So we're going to get to all of them. the dart double oh five sorry roka but man city will win a manchester city is oh it is yeah we'll win it this year and happy that godzilla took home his first oscar is that the first oscar the godzilla's ever won yes 70 years uh it's been waiting and just turned 70 a few days ago and now it's won an oscar so love patience to godzilla love that that was so good uh james lavar thank you jesus wow wow very very kind super chat here thank you my friend that's awesome

Godzilla minus one for the win. I miss the old S-E-N-Schmodown days. Yeah, but like Kyle Lorenz says, let the pass die. Let it die. You can go, the old Schmodown days, the problem, like, the problem with S-E-N, as much as like there was a good vibe in the,

with S-E-N when it came to when we were on a role, but the problem was in order to keep that show succeeding, like to pay everybody was that fucking robot. Yeah. And it just, I remember listening, there's one of the reasons I started big, is that I was driving the car. And I was like listening to the show that I wasn't on. I was listening to you guys.

And it just kept interrupting. And I was like, well, we need it because I got to pay everybody. And we're working for Skybound or like, we got to do this. But I'm like, it just became, it almost felt like a telethon at one point. I'm like, mm. And I'm like, if we could do that kind of vibe just now, knowing what I do now and how this is. It's like we could, but I also don't. minus this is the only live show I do

Mondays and I and I'm I appreciate but I'm mentally better because of it yeah but I only do one um but schmodeon you can watch the entire library it's all on the show all of it I did say that one there's like a I think that it's once we get to 10,000 patrons I will put on a free for all live with no charging for any tickets like I'll put on a full free for all what are you talking about are you saying

you're trying to bring back the legacy players to play i would i would bring back i would whoever wanted to perform i would do it i would i would if i got to 10 000 patrons a month i would i would put on a full on i will rent the theater i won't charge tickets it'll be first come first serve and i'll do a full i'll do a full free for all for and i'll get people in it involved and yeah but i got we got to we got to reach that's we're a long way away but you need to give about 9,700 patrons away 9,700 you are watching, go and subscribe. Go be patrons right, because I want a rematch with Dan.

We're one in one now. I want the rubber match with me and Dan. I can't shake that. That's not a brief for all, you idiot. I don't care. I don't make it happen. Here's the next one. Sunday Joe, one of the best Oscar shows in years.

Classy and entertaining for most of the show. So happy for Randolph's win and her speech was power. Oh, yeah. Her speech was great. Beautiful. Her speech was great. Thank you. No one to do with them.

movie, but who cares? It was still a beautiful speech. It was her time. Yeah. John Bravina, did Al Pacino and us best pick too soon? You didn't even read the nominees. I saw people try to explain and going like, well, we saw the nominees all night. That's

not how it works. You have to list all the nominees, then say the winner. I think he wanted to go to sleep. Yeah, 100%. He's an 82-year-old with a newborn. Never lose your nerd. Godzilla minus one is the goat. So awesome for them. I audibly cheered out loud when they won.

I hate that they played them off, man. Yeah, I know that. Well, that's the reason why I stuck the time. Yeah, yeah. Jim won, missed opportunity to have a special achievement and stunts award to Mission Impossible or John Wick, similar to Toy Story getting the first animated Oscar. Well, they're moving up to studying, doing the casting thing, they're doing some other things. Oh, you know what I loved, by the way?

Go ahead. And I wouldn't have. I was sitting there. We watched, like, because my 12 year was watching majority of the awards with us last night. Cool. And the short documentary comes up, right? And so my daughter plays the cello. And so she was watching.

She's like, she goes, I know that. She's like, I know that one before it won. She's like, we just watched it in class. She's like, it was, she's like, it actually inspired me to want to do better in a cello. She's like, I hope it wins. And they don't want a pear shop. Yeah. That's the film.

Yeah. And she loved it. Yeah. Such a good film. Great. St. Claire. I love how they did visual effects and makeup award.

Yeah, me too. I thought that was they added some new stuff to it. I think it was they made it more of a show. It felt like a show and not like a ball presentation. And they didn't have the Academy president come out. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

Yes. They listened. And now John Lewis coming out to talk about time to go get snacks and make a whole bowl of nachos where this guy talks about bullshit. Yeah, they had her in the aisle way where people, where after Billy had won the ice. Oscar and then she was talking about the legacy stuff. And so they came in at the same time.

So it was a nice mix. She wasn't going to go on there too long. Okay. So maybe a fast forwarded. She did come out and they fast forwarded through it. Yeah, it was perfect. She didn't come out on the stage. It was right in that right there. Perfect.

I didn't even realize it. Okay. Mike Joyce, miss game time. Thoughts on DeAndre Swift going to Bears and Wilson to the Steelers. You're not doing any time anymore? Yeah, we don't. Well, because we like to cover NFL. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, fine. That's good for Swift. you know, lions weren't using them properly and they like other guys, so it makes sense. And Russell the Steelers, I think is a train wreck. I think it's like Donovanab going to the Redskins way back when we recall that. And so it's going to be a train wreck in Pittsburgh for sure.

Guy shot. Guy shot. Murfer Durf. If there was true Academy of Racism, Gladstone wouldn't have even been nominated. There are winners and losers just like Emmer's performance more. Yeah, I mean, like, again, I think John made really great points we was talking about. how that works now and how they have changed things up so yeah I thought it was I thought everybody who won for the most part pretty predictable there weren't any really shockers and by

the way the big shocker the big or not big shocker but we're like oh interesting was American fiction yeah that was so great so there you go from River to Sea greetings thoughts on Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech political statement what which one was that he won for zone of interest and listen we are not the show to talk about about that. So I don't think we should touch it. It didn't even watch it. So I couldn't, I don't think I could talk about it. Okay. And I don't want to, I'm staying away from all of that. Okay. Yeah, I don't think I'm, I'm, okay, so I didn't, I didn't see any of it. So I didn't

watch that, that speech. I didn't see the movie. Yeah, yeah. I didn't see the movie. That was, it was too hard for me to watch. Um, okay. The action is the Jews. Great show. Unfortunately thing about Lily not winning is Emma will not have more shots and Lily most likely, oh, Emma will have more shots and Lilymo. Look at Yelita, for example, one Asian woman, one black woman and 77 white one. Yeah, I mean, I get it. I understand, but it's, I think it goes back to exactly what we were talking about before, is that it shouldn't be, well, she might not get nominated again.

Because if that's a case, but if that's the case, then Stallone should have beaten Rylans. Mark Rylans. Because Stallone ain't getting another shot anytime soon. So if it's like, if everybody's like, well, they might not get a shot again. then then you're tainting these awards. I also think there's an inherent insult in here that somehow Lily won't be able to book big roles or won't be able to. She's already leading another feature film.

She's going to be in a TV series that's coming out very soon. People know she's talented and she's young. There will be roles for Lily Gladstone. You know, everyone needs to relax and stop thinking, it's 1977 here in 2024. It's a way different time now. and there's much more Native American stuff out. There's much more people of color and people from Native American places

who are appearing in these shows. So please, there's going to be opportunity for Lily. She's a good damn actress. She'll be fine. Good point. Page. What's that page? Page Charger. I am a Texan. I saw capes and cows. It was funny. And we bust balls just like everyone else.

Meeting both of you all in Houston was a joy. Oscars was a return to class. Thoughts, do you think that Avatar 3 will be another $2 billion. Maybe. I say yes. I'm never doubting James Cameron again. You're not getting my bet on that one.

Okay. Yeah, I'm getting my bet on them. I wouldn't get close to that because that's a movie, like those are, there is, that is the definition of theater experience. Yep. Definition of theater experience.

And because two was even better than the first, in my opinion, um, it left us going, what's next? So could it make two billion? million. Yes. And theater prices will probably be even up a little bit more at that point. So yeah, I think so. Look at him. Son of a bitch. My favorite.

He's called him son of a bitch twice. It was perfect. So good. So good. What a, what a turn of events of like when you look at half the stuff they did last night. You would have been shut down in the 70s from doing any of that stuff. Oh, yeah. Walking around. It's hog hanging out. You got frig hanging out. You got freaking. all that stuff. Yeah. Matt Sinister and Macau. Favorite horror movie. A horror movie killer and why.

Can I go to the show on that one? I guess he says movie, though. I would say Dexter, because I like, because I like the way of the play, you know, I like the vigilante aspect of it. A horror movie killer. Or maybe this means like, you know, slash, I'd probably say Freddie, because Freddy's got jokes.

How does he have me jokes? Fresh meat. So I'll probably go Friday. Your show is canceled. No, Jason Voorhees, always. I mean, maybe not in the most recent iterations, but the original carpenter, Borees, is my man.

Yeah. I'm going to agree with this next statement. I think you are, too. K. Dog, Westmore, loved Oscars, but Iron Claw deserved nominations. I'm with you, man. I don't know why did that get shut out so much. Age 24, terrible rollout,

terrible decision to not put it at festivals. Terrible, terrible, terrible. The whole blame is on the distributor, greater than yeah okay that's the whole blame no one else is to blame but that i know zach snitner zach snyder zach uh afron's best performance ever yep i thought it was very well directed there's a powerful story you know oh man yeah that was i i'm with you on that not gonna argue with you on that watch him on rickie stinicky and then watching my own claw he's who's a much better actor than oh oh zach okay stam oh weird as opanheimer rank his greatest best pitcher winner that's hard man

that's that's almost a hundred years of of winter I don't know. I mean, look, it's up to, it's, you know when a movie is that good, when you walk out of the theater and you're like, you know, that's going to win best picture. Yeah. Like, I remember Brett and I, we saw it in the screening and we're like, that movies went in best picture, right? Yeah. It was July. Yeah.

Yeah. And all the other movies hadn't even come out yet. It was like, that was, there was really, the holder was the only thing that came out. You're like, maybe. Yeah. But, yeah. So it's, I don't know about Rankin. Not sure.

Yeah. Okay. town mat 12 i'm gonna watch dune 2 for a second time tomorrow with a friend who hasn't seen it yet i'm super excited to watch the movie again to see the amazing performances from the cast can't wait to see where it goes from here copy it all that have you seen it a second time john you did right i've seen it three times oh three times something yeah yeah so that's why i didn't see kung fu panda because i went to go see it again but i will definitely see it again this week i'm trying to go see it in 70 millimeter so i got a i got to find a theater near me that's showing it in 70 millimeter and i might have to close the border which i don't like to do So we'll see. All right. I'm going to put you in a, I'm going to put you in, in a, in a, you know, it's like your elimination chamber.

When I, when I, when he was slamming his head, this is, this is John right now when I do this. Wade West, I don't watch shit. I don't like. Watching Oscars because I like movies, watching Wine, 2024 slogan for Pride. So I know John's probably going to lose it on you. So I'm, I'm being nice to you here. I don't agree with that statement. I think actually it worked really, really well.

I thought it moved well. And as I said, to reiterate what I was saying, I think that when you watch this particular show, you know that this is what the show is, but you're saying, I don't watch this stuff anyway. Fair enough. John, trying to break through the thing. All right, here you go.

Josh Needle. Nothing wrong with artists. Wait, stop for a second. I got this guy. I got this guy. Go over to starred. That's where all the super chats are. So you don't have to scroll down.

No, no, no, it leaves it out. It leaves some of them, some of them, some of them get left out. Fair enough. I've seen you miss questions because you do that. How dare you? That's right. Josh Needle, something wrong with artists celebrating their work. Nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong. Sorry. Just sometimes comes off as pretentious and taking themselves too seriously. I agree with that. I think sometimes it does. I don't hate anyone. Just how it comes across. I agree.

Glad to hear they've improved. So that's what he said before to clarify on what he was saying. So I think that Josh makes a great point. And like I said to him before he watched it, that's how I felt about it. I think sometimes they take themselves so seriously in a way that it's like, oh, now let me preach to you. F you, I'm here to hear about your freaking movie about the dinosaur.

And by the way, that Jurassic Park stuff that Kate McKinnon did was. Oh, Spilberg playing with it was great. He played a few different times. Twice. The tasteful nudes was hilarious. And the way he played with Jimmy Kimmel and he's lovely monologue was great. He was great. Um, okay.

So let's see. Next one here. I think that's almost, I think we're almost done, John. Look, you'll never get me to argue the actors aren't pretentious.

They are pretentious. They can be for sure. Right. There's some influencers, just like YouTube people. Right. Pretentiousness all over the point. True.

Um, you always know you're doing a good stream in but funnel. So thank you. Oh, but funnel. Budfut funnel. Butt funnel is becoming one of our, our regulars here.

Thank you, but funnel. Uh, I think we got here from Spanner. Spanner. Spanner, Spanner V. Love you guys.

Thank you. Did you guys see the report about Sony calling out Dakota Johnson and saying it was her fault for trash in the movie? I saw that they were upset. Did they actually call her out? No, this is all reports from scoopers and people like that. So Sony did not officially come out and go against Dakota. It's just what some reporters are saying they've heard from sources and what have you. So look, I wouldn't be surprised that they're upset about her because clearly Dakota is blaming everyone else for how terrible the movie.

was except herself who delivered a brain dead performance and so this this is for her this is brand saving this is her PR team brand saving because they blame the executives the studio the writers she hasn't blamed the director yet because she's a woman and won't do that but this overall is like come on dakota take some fucking responsibility here if the reports are true because you still delivered a terrible performance and that's one of the reasons people didn't like the movie well i mean i don't think the reports are true she's been trashing it i mean reports are true there for Well, I mean that they're upset, I mean. I would tell you that they probably are.

But like if she also probably doesn't care and she doesn't want to work, you got to understand that you're not going to work with Sony or anybody else when you're when you're doing that. So yeah, I think that but this town, all she needs is another hit. No one's going to care. Yeah. Yeah. Renée Reyes. What's up, Renee?

Happy Monday boys. Christian, do you have any plans for doing a stand-up comedy show in the Bay area? So my, as we're building up the channel, man, it's like I told you, like live shows. And my, the show we did in New York last year was a great show and we had so much fun. The problem is I lost my ass on that show. Yeah, well, because it's the, the room seats like 120 people, right? Yeah. And in order to really try to make a profit on it, you got to do like two or three shows in a room like that.

That's for it because I'm paying for flights. I'm paying for hotels. I'm paying for a crew. I'm paying for all this stuff. And next thing you know, I'm out a significant amount of money. money and it's like you've got to be able to sell out shows when you put the tickets up and it's like okay I got two months to sell these tickets you got to sell out within like three or four days that that to me knows okay I can add another show and then it makes sense

we sold out the day of and I'm like it's just tough so as we're building the audience out especially in like San Francisco I would love to do one in that area I would love to do something around in the Bay area but like it just audience has to build I got to feel more confident again like my confidence is shot from from like losing losing my ass in new york all right let's see next one and this is from corn empire yeah i agree with you guys it was about her future roles not the academy it's not on them it was my feelings for her future okay that's fair also i'm a patron so schmodeown free for all thank you i don't know if you just joined today if you have been but um if you joined today amazing join patreon and if we get to 10,000

not only will Brett skydive, which is another thing we're going to tape. We're going to do a free-for-all that will be free to everybody. So, okay, Phil P. Game time, premium show needed for the run-in at Roker. 10 people to watch. You guys got to be, I love people suggesting stuff, but like, you know, you got to know your audience and you know how many people are going to watch. And the amount of effort I'm going to put in to watch 28 games.

Like, it doesn't make sense. A weekend? Yeah. Hank, I love anime, but Haran was not a good movie. An absolute mess. Bullshit. Oh, you liked that I didn't see it? I did.

I love the movie, bullshit. And winning over Spider-Vers is the most ridiculous Oscar win ever, in my opinion. Wow. Okay. So Roka doesn't agree with you on that one. I don't have enough to say on it because every time I went to watch it, I couldn't, not that I didn't, not that it was any good. It just never got a chance to watch it. It's a good film.

It's not as great as other ones, but it certainly deserved it. And look, if it's his last one, you know? Best movie to have zero nominations this year? Yeah, Ironclaw. 100% 100% should have gotten something 100% okay let's see Wade West no I watch

just dislike cry babies at wine What do you think you're doing Wade West You're being a cry baby yourself and wine Should have put you in the elimination shape Damn it You let me out you let me out I'm gonna put him through the word What up Bobby, a little Bob

Two things I saw at the end of the honors Kimmel and Robert Danny Jr. on stage laughing and hugging it out oh did they? I didn't see that okay And the dog from anatomy of all fake peeing on Matt Damon star in the end. Did that come up at the end? That must have been in the after show. Okay.

At the end of the Oscars, okay. I missed. I did turn it off right after they won, so I didn't see the end of it. So, okay, that's good that they were hugging it out. I'm glad I'm glad to hear that. Spanner v. What's your top three most anticipated movies of 2024? Well, Dune, which already is out. Deadpool and Kingdom of the Age.

I say Joker, too. but I agree with Christian Deadpool 3. Yeah, that was up for me too. I can't remember how far up it was. Okay, this one is Mr. I, crap and shits. It's my favorite fucking name in the last two years. I'm

screenshoting this right now. Mr. I, crap and shits. God bless you, sir. Who's on the case? Crapping shits. God do. Get in here, crapp and shits. Get in here. Who? You know

Crappin Shits! Best. Cina was hilarious. Loved Arnold, DeVito, and Keaton. Never thought I'd hear that Godzilla theme of the Oscars, for sure. Unbelievable. Do you know who it was? It was Crappin Shits, son of a bitch.

Crapping Shits. Professor Crappin Shits. Again, God damn it! And not only did he have the best name, he ended the fucking show. Yeah. Perfect. Thank you, crap of shits. All right, guys, thank you so much for joining us here today.

Thank you, guys. What a fun show. that was. That was a good one. Thank you for all the questions. We've got a lot of them here today. John, thank you, buddy. What's going on this week? Where can they find you? Yeah, you can always find me at the Roka says on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, but my YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash John Roka says, the Outlaw nation. Come and hang out with us. We got so much going on here. Not only do you get to my reviews and reactions, live watchalongs like the Oscars there, but also great shows like the geek buddies, the hot mic with Jeff Snyder, the Jedi Way with Laura. Evan Smets and Winston and I've been kicking around a show that we might be doing really soon. It's a pop culture show.

So just keep tabs on that and come and hang out with us and subscribe to the channel. Trying to get to 50,000 subscribers would love for you all to come and take a chance on the content. We'd love to have you. And thanks for having me today. And great to see everybody. Thank you, Christian. Before you go, can I get controversial with you for a second? Now?

Now you put me in the corner. But I heard you, I heard your plug. And I was like, do you still find it viable? beneficial to do a Star Wars show weekly? I'm not doing it weekly. It's biweekly because Laura can only do biweekly. So we do biweekly. But you're not wrong. I mean, I'm like the, my bad batch reviews have done almost nothing. Even with the geek buddies. And it is a bit frustrating. And I think we're just, I'm trying to decide we do with it. The thing is I love talking Star Wars with Kevin and Laura.

So to me, it's almost like a joyous hour of my week. We create another show. just have a Star Wars segment with those two? I don't know if I could do another show with those two and create a Star Wars segment. I mean, I only don't say that because that's ultimately what I did with because every time I did an example, I wanted to see it. We led with three Star Wars topics on last Wednesday show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then did a Dune story. And I asked the audience, I said, which one would you want us to do thumbnail and main story?

Everybody, it was like 65% Dune. Nobody gives a shit about Star Wars anymore. I'll actually have a one more. I'll have a conversation with them at some point. Cupcake Bliss. If June makes $650 worldwide, would that be considered a failure? No. Not at all.

Both movies together would only cost, I think, like $3.30, $3.40 or something, too. Yeah, and Dune's going to keep going for a long time. And then when the buzz hits about the Academy Award nominations, it's going to pick up a whole new steam. So, yeah, it'll be fine. All right. Guys, thank you. And John's got to get out of here. So, John, thank you for joining me.

Thank you. Thank you guys for joining us here. as always, Apple Podcasts, Spotify. I cannot thank everybody enough for being in here to ask the questions.
