John and I were going back and forth and text on it. James Gunn dismisses the Batman Part 2 rumor that Jeff Snyder actually reported, so we'll talk about that.

And then Gunn was also talking about Superman box office profitability. We have that more on the show here today. So let's get into it. It's myself and John Roka on the Christian Arloff show on this Monday. Let's do it. Welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen. It is Monday. And joining me on the show, as always, John Roka.

Happy Monday. Welcome to the world. Yeah, how is the weekend? Busy. We had my girlfriend's sister in town for their anniversary. It's our anniversary today, seven years together. Remember way back when Christian, when you guys were like, no way you guys are going to last how do you know after two dates that you last i never said last

you said like if you go back and watch people were like shocked that we were got together so quickly we knew so you're engaged quickly yeah we were engaged quickly yeah there's two different things i think it's we're still kicking it seven years we're engaged so it's right yeah it was it was a good time and we hung out with her her dogs who were here which is a lot of I'm exhausted. How was yours? I went to the beach and took, I guess there's family and took the little one to a

party that she had a birthday party. It was funny. She gets there and she's like she's very different than my oldest my oldest would be like just whatever party you take at church. She's just talking to everybody. The little one's always kind of looking around and she's like, I don't know if I hear. She's going to go home. And I'm like,

just chill out for a second. Well, yeah, and she's sitting with me and then finally she jumps in the pool. She starts talking to people and she's like one of these people the kids just kind of gravitate towards when she's playing yeah because she doesn't get dg a f yeah no there's video that i was i don't want to post it but i was she i'm recording her because my wife's like she's finally playing when she's playing so i was recording her and she's floating around on the thing with another friend and then she sees me recording her and she goes um anyway so that was the weekend and i guess on so what did i You know Saturday. Oh, Saturday night. We had a live show. We did the live show.

You did. Me and Sam did the live show. It was great. It was great. We had a nice turnout. It was a lot of fun. Good. Saw some, uh, saw some regulars, some new people. And it was just good. We were kind of recap the MCU journey. Got's had some laughs. You know, audience has some great questions. And we did a Q&A afterwards. It was, it was really good. You get any New York hecklers? Heck, no, it wasn't. It wasn't. I posted on the on the, on the, on the, on the, on the, on the, on the, on the, on the, shorts because you know on the Marvel rewatch what it would doing is first of all i didn't realize that michael gikino did the fanfare for the marvel dun dun dun dun you know that one and so that song i have turned into the don't chidel shetel every time we watch it and and it's a jddddle diddle diddle dital jill jill i don't remember how i can do i got you hear it when i'm doing it but i was like john chidel where are you and i did it and i was like because we do it every single time and i was like i

feel like the audience must know it right we they brought me up to that song and I put it on it was one of my shorts and um and the audience sang along with the Don Cheadle song was pretty great it's awesome it was pretty great it was good it was good so yeah what it's good to hear that's great I'm glad it went well yeah it's good um speaking of going well hey weapons really well made a bet with Winston he was sure that domestic well overall that freaky or Friday would be weapons it's no way um oh winston yeah and harrell says yesterday is you know oh winston five bucks forty five million it made i said yes internationally my friend it made 45 but overall

75 four or 72 for weapons and weapons crushed crushed uh freakier friday domestically as well weapons didn't just domestic didn't just open this week and it also launched in 73 global markets as a result the film pulled in 42.5 million domestically 27 7.5 overseas, 70 million worldwide with a $38 million budget. This is how you make movies, folks. The film is already set for quite profitable run in cinemas. Disney's Freakier Friday hit 46 international territories this weekend and pulled in 15.5 million overseas to join his 29 million domestic hall, resulting in a 44.5 million worldwide debut. That film had a budget of 42 million. This is a really good, this is really good news in general that we can get into,

but Marvel's the Fantastic Four earned another 15.5, a drop of 60% in its third weekend and a further 17.5 million overseas where the falloff has been slighter. Overall, it's sent to 230 million domestically and 432 worldwide. Superman, meanwhile, is now up to 578 worldwide following a further 7.8 domestic and 5.8. Jurassic World Rebirth continues strong overseas, taking in a further 16 million and hitting 800 million jobs. on 800. We're way past that bet. We're all lost. We're all lost.

It's a 180 million to be less than the previous Jurassic World installments. The film's already profitable for Universal. The studio is expected to make good coin on Jurassic VP, via PVOD, where it launched on Tuesday. Once again, we see that release hasn't really impacted the film's box office prospects, while the title still earned a further 4.5 million domestically and dropping just 46 and the sixth weekend.

bad guys too naked gun are getting staggering staggering international releases and so box office is varying for them the second weekend domestically though the films dropped 53 and 50 respectively 4 it's already up to 83.9 worldwide jumping to box office mojo you see again there are the numbers

the naked gun as we see there so far has made 56 I don't know how much that movie costs it's kind of a Travis hey I wish that movie would have made on 18 I think it was only 18 that's okay so it's gonna it's gonna do fine but it I really wish it would have made more Bad Boys, the bad boys, bad guys, too, 83 million. I mean, that's got to, I don't know how much bad guys two cost,

but I would assume that's pretty good. All right, so the budget for naked guns, 42. 42, okay. Bad Guys 2, what's the, what's that budget, John? Because if that budget, 83 million so far on that, that's decent. The bad guys two budget was 80 million. Oh, 80, oaf. Yeah.

80 million. Who's making this movie for 80 million? Animation is expensive, man. Come on. This isn't fucking South Park. You got to pay that guy's two for 80 million. What are you doing? The first one was made for about 69 to 80, but it made 250.

Listen, it's fantastic for making 500. I feel it will. I think it's going to be a stretch to make 500. Oh, I see what you did. I've had a steak dinner. About 70 more million, considering it's dropping 60% every week from the previous week. That is the, I wouldn't make that bet, but I would say that I wouldn't be a prize because Superman, which where the hell's Superman goes?

Superman's on in the top. It's over here. Yeah. Superman is now at 578. And I, we said between 550 and six, I think is what we're. And I think that's going to be that's, that's a nice, that's a nice run, I think overall. I mean, it's not. I mean, it's a win. It's not where everyone thought.

And everybody, fans, everyone thought that we're just still living in 2018, but I think 600 million. will be a win for them not a win for fantastic four that's i don't care how you spend that man that's got to be a it's a hurt that's yeah and maybe not a flop but it's close that's it's not that that was your that was your big gun this this yeah uh freak your friary friday this is the two these are the stories that i love for both 44 million so far what freak year friday has made um now the question is has the audience that it was intended for already seen it yeah that but it's still it was a smaller budget it was nice that a movie like it felt like as disney plus movie well produced but it felt like today this should be in disney plus so what people actually

going to the theater to see this is encouraging but this is the story i mean this is the story it's weapons you know because weapons people will continue to see this i don't know how big drop off will be but 70 million overall 42 domestic 27 internationally and the thing that was i think about this particular movie john is i talked about the other day my friend um called me up and said hey I'm going to see a movie with my with with my lady what should I see and he gave me three options he said Superman fantastic four weapons I said weapons go see weapons I said him to see weapons right away because it's the one that and he came back and he and he loved it he loved it he said it was he he he there are some people who feel this way I didn't and I wonder if you will that the last like

the last three or four minutes wasn't as great as the rest of the movie I thought the last three for minutes was just as great as the rest of it. But the movie is annihilating. It is a small movie. Zach Cretton is a star. He is a directing star. He was going to like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw you talking on, on Hot Mike. And it's because I think it's because you haven't seen a movie, to be completely

honestly. You said that why do you go to, to, um, Resident Evil, right? And I think that I would have agreed with you had I not seen weapons. Like, why, why would you go there? I feel like he and his spin, I feel like he. could make Resident Evil what they thought it was going to be after that game. Like what ultimately season one of Last of Us did for us or did for that game. Oh yeah.

Popular as that game was. I think that that's what he can do for Resident Evil with his skills. You might be, I mean, you might be right. My thing is that it's a hell of a chance to take to try to take that property, which is, let's be honest, that is seen as a kind of a B-level, C-level type of property. Amila Jovovich, I mean, come on. You know what you're dealing with. But it shouldn't have been because the game is so popular.

Right. The game is popular. But at the time, these are the people that own the rights and this is the level of quality. Like Paul W. saying, this is a level of quality of director and actress that they're command, that they're, you know, attracting and can get, right? You're not going to get Scarlett Johansson and somebody else to lead. It's not going to happen. So looking at this now, Crager is essentially going to try to take this thing to the A-list level.

And that's the approach. Now, you're right. The video game adaptations have changed so much. of the last few years, people have now a more, a higher expectation. They've certainly leaned into more of the cinematic aspects of these games because the games have gotten more cinematic as well. And so you see that that's a logical step. So when I was talking about it, it's more or less like, it doesn't, I don't know why you

would take this on because it's such a heavy weight. But as I read more about this weekend, his approach to the Joker story he wants to tell as well, Zach is clearly a guy who is marching to his own beat and is not like, how do I play the Hollywood game. How do I what it's more like, listen, this is what is attracting me and I'm going to spend all weekend or all next couple of weeks writing a whole Joker

script or I'm going to look at Resident Evil. I know what I can do with it and change it. So he's a unicorn in that way as a director in Hollywood. And so, yes, I have still my questions and my doubts and whether it's a wise career move, but if he knocks it out of the park with something that is

absolutely an incredible interpretation, then he'll have been proven right that he made this move, this move was the correct movie, you know? He's taking the big job now, right? And that's a lot of them. I mean, Cooger did essentially the same thing on, he did in a movie too. I did Fruitvale Station and jumped right to Creed, even though Creed was probably on the same budget level than I think that,

uh, weapons around that, the same neighborhood. And then he jumps to the big blockbuster with, um, but I, I wonder where Creton's going to go because you keep saying, it's Craigor, right? Because Decker. Yeah. Thank you, Craigor. Yes.

Craigor, thank you. You know why? Because Matt, Sarah, just watched Jurassic World and Michael Crichton's name was on the... Craigor. Gregor. Craigerton. Yeah, it's not, and that will not happen for very long where I forget his name. Because he is a, I think he's a massive, massive star.

And I think that he is, he likes to make movies. You can tell. There is a part of me that goes, Oh, I mean, I'm interested. I'm more interested in seeing a Resident Evil than I ever would have been before somebody else was doing it. Sure. Yeah. Totally.

But I also go with you and saying, like, he's just done so good in those two original movies as he's already done that I want to see him do that again. Yeah. You know, I want to see him be able to make those movies. But hey, go for, get your name out there and be the guy that saves that IP. I get it. Artists are inspired by what they're inspired by. and if this is what he's inspired by, and he seems like he's not waffling.

Like you can sense Greta Gerwig and Narnia, that's a thing where she's like, damn it, I shouldn't have signed on to this. But I got to see it out. I got to do the best I can with it and move on to the next thing. It's just I've committed to it.

You can sense that energy when you're reading news about that. That's not the same thing here. You can tell Craig is completely interested in this and really wants to do a great job here and revitalize the franchise, so to speak. So it'll be interesting to see when we start to see some first images,

is when we start to see some here about the approach that he's taking it's going to be fascinating to see the reaction from the fans or as an evil fans but the casuals you know isn't it crazy though too because you look at normally traditionally yeah even and when you looked at like 2015 2015 2016 April was starting to be the beginning of the summer season they were thrown in at the end of April they were throwing in fast and furious they were throwing in infinity war they were because you would get week after week of the big movies. And so, and it was always traditionally, even before that, May would start it, June would be heavy July and the July 4th, you get Independence Day, all these different movies,

the big movies. And then the beginning of August, you'd get, you know, one movie that maybe a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles or something. And then that, that's really the end of summer. Yeah. It's refreshing to see the beginning of August is this movie. two movies and they're as talked about or at least at least weapons is as talked about as some of these other movies maybe not as talked about as Superman but like but as as talked about as some of

these other movies that were out there and doing better when you compare the numbers then i mean crushing fantastic for as far as when you go with yeah what it costs as far as what it made so are we in for a change with what people are going to see in the theaters now i don't know i mean the idea of dead months to me is i think slowly going the way the way that the dodo because people, I mean, these studios need to have successes almost every month that they're putting out, sorry, the film industry needs to have success. Every month they put out films in these studios need to find these places where the people haven't usually gone to a movie and take a chance. Like, remember February was dead for a long time. And then Black Panther

and Deadpool changed February around. January still hasn't quite gotten that. But I mean, Aquaman and Aquaman, too, rather, and Aquaman both threatened to turn January. into something big. Those come out in December. Yeah, but I'm saying the way they carried over into January in powerhouse. So there is people who will go to movies in these dead months now that used to be part of the traditional calendar. And I wonder if maybe these studios are exploring, taking a chance with a film to put

it out in a certain month that usually is dead. And so there's not really, so the idea of a summer season or a fall season or all that kind of stuff kind of goes away where it's more a matter of a consistent year. of great movies coming out no matter what season it is well the only reason that things january's always kind of traditionally been like i always said the toilet bowl movie season because you you you and or or horror low budget movies come out and they put them out there because you see a lot of the marketing is spent throughout the year and different things so the movies that they have shot and gone right it's not going to perform for us put it in january and see we can make

some money off of it it's usually just kind of how it happens because you don't want to take those big spots because February was like the Valentine's Day romantic comedies for a bit and then yes they started like one or two with the big budget movies in in February and March started and the first time I remember March really doing that was with 300 when that was like that was like 2005 or something but yeah there's like you will get those movies and then November December has now become summer season part two um because and I've brought this up a thousand times the Force Awakens is the first movie ever to cross $100 million opening weekend. No other movie had ever done that before because they weren't going for those types of

movies back then. So it's changed. It's moved around, but I think that these types of movies, and the horror movies usually have the opportunity to be the biggest profit ones because they make them for smaller budgets, they get really good stars in them. And I liked the deal. I'd love to see what Josh Brolin's overall deal was for this movie because he was a producer on it. Right. So they probably cut back his fee. You know, the cast was incredible. You got Julia Garner, Allaner, Alenarren Reich, Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong. I mean, it's a really good cast.

And it plays together well, and I like the way he pieces things together. So anyway, because I'm kidding. Let me ask you this. Do you think, because there was a new story that came out over the weekend that, like, Gregor had to readjust the entire schedule and the film because Pedro had to pull out to go be. Oh, Pedro was supposed to be in it? Yeah, Pedro was supposed to play. I think the Josh Brolin character.

Do you think the right thing happened there? Do you think Brolin was the right choice? Yes, yes. It's a happy accident the way it went down. 1,000% and not because I'm not a fan of Pedro Pascol. The opposite is a huge fan is. He would have been yet another movie. Overexposure is a real thing.

It's a real thing. No matter how great of an actor-actress you are, the audience will say, okay is we know there other people exist. It's like everything. And people like Brolin. Browland's cool. You know, Roland, Bronin's cool. And he's great in the movie. And

Pedro's not necessary for this movie. I think he's, and I was, I think he was great for Fantastic Four. I haven't seen the other ones. I'm going to see the other ones that he did. Yeah, material, yeah, and the materialist with Dakota Johnson. But yeah, I think it would, I think it would, I think it would have, I don't think it would have been a

good choice. I think this is not that he wouldn't have done the role right, but there's something that Brolin does in this movie, people who know, who saw it, there's a particular scene that happens and it's not necessarily supposed to be funny, but in the way that he reacts in the scene is hilarious and not like where it throws you off hilarious. Like that's how I would react if that thing just happened to me. Right. And I don't know. And it was and it felt it felt very Brolin. It felt like Brolin was the one who came up with that. It might not have been, but it felt like. So there's a, he's one of the most criminally underappreciated actors. And by that I mean like everyone loves Josh Boland, right? People don't talk about him in the same breath that they talk

about the great actors of that, of a certain level, right? He is so good at sliding in and delivering these fantastic performances and they're subtle, they're noticeable, but they're subtle but noticeable. And so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does here because Thanos was an amazing interpretation no country for old men hell even Sicario his role in Sicario was a fascinating portrayal so like there's so many things that he's been doing for years as an actor that even his cable

was fun in Deadpool too so I just don't think people revere him in quite the same breath and they need to because this guy's a multifaceted actor he's great and Julie Garner was able to just kind of shine in that there's there's glimpses of like kind of her very different character but there's glimpses of what she does in Ozark in this, which I hadn't seen her do in a while.

And Aaron Rick, he's always really good. He's always really good. And he's really good in this. So anyway, makes sense why it did what it did. What do you guys think about the box office numbers? Is this encouraging or is he like,

no, that's horror movie people. People go and see horror movies all the time. It's not going to change the way people go and see movies. But then I would counter and say, well, what about Freakier Friday? I think that's just because of the core audience

who in nostalgia wanted to go back and see it. or is it starting to shift that people want to see different things in the movie theater. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. All right.

A hot mic is live right now. We're going to have the audience go over and ask them why they're looking right now. You mother. I sat here. He was laughing my fucking tits off as I was sitting right over here watching you guys. Because you were in the middle of some heated debate. Yeah. Yeah.

Jeff, Jeff was on one that day. And I'll tell you, sometimes I can resist Jeff's anger energy and sometimes I can't. And he was on one that day. And we were battling. And then some of the watchers of your show came in and we're like, Christians is asking why you guys are live.

And I'm like, what the hell? He doesn't control us. And it was like, I was a whole thing. I did this. Into the homer into the bushes. Because Campy as people have come over at times when we're live and they're like,

why are you guys live? Camping is on. I just don't understand the mentality of it also. But then I calm down by the end of the show. And if you watch the show at the end, I'm like, it's funny. Guys, Christian was bust and balls. That's all it was.

It's absolutely hilarious. I'm not once. I called you and Jeff. And I was saying, yeah, it was very kind. Laughing my ass off, though, in the middle of it.

But I couldn't. it was fun um anyway so there's always controversy with jeff so i don't i don't want to uh i don't want to do controversy today is that cool yeah fine what do you want to do gina carano um yeah let's do it disney settles the jina carano lawsuit john yeah pick this out disney lucas film have settled the lawsuit from gina carano who accused the suit of discrimination wrongful determination regarding her firing from the star wars tv series of mandolian filed last year coranahs lawsuit alleged she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and sought a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her. Elon Musk helped fund through the suit.

The filing came after Lucasfilm announced in 2021 that Corona would not return to the hit series after sharing a post, talking about persecution for political views. The latest in the series of post sharing her views on a number of hot button political views. She was dropped by UTA following the controversy. In terms of the settlement announced on Thursday were not disclosed in a statement, Lucasville spokesperson said with this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to a identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the next future in the near future. Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. Carrano, in her own statement, says that the deal is the best outcome for all parties involved,

and my desires remain in the arts and capping off with the line. Yes, I'm smiling. Okay. So you had texted me when all this went down, because I don't know what episode it was. I couldn't find it, but I remember I was one of the only, people. I remember talking to you about this. I remember talking to, I think I talked to Campi about this on his show. I talked to a bunch of other people when the lawsuit was going through and what they were listing of all the things that she was going for. I said, she is going to

win this. And everyone told me that I was nuts. Everybody. Everybody said, no, there's no way. Disney's not going to bend the knee. There's no. I said, she is going to win this lawsuit because of what she is saying there. Now, look, you could, you could say, look, well, she was employed there. and they asked her, hey, don't do this. She did it anyway. Oh, yeah. She did. And because of it, they said, well, we don't want to work with this person anymore.

The problem was that it was what she was saying. There was enough proof there to say, well, I was just putting my thoughts out there in the same way that X puts their thoughts out there about their political views. There was nothing in there that they could prove that she did, even if you said, you can hint at what her posts were. And you could say maybe it was insensitive and other things. But there's nothing, she was still on the show. And she was still working to be on the show. I was like, if they, she's got the right legal team. They're going to win this.

And it's the same reason why they put that statement out there. I guarantee you it was part of the, it was part of the agreement was they've got to say something really nice about her inside of that thing because she has lost tremendous amounts of opportunities. because you don't think she's lost opportunities because of all that? I don't think you said tremendous. And there's no way I'll say tremendous because she's a marginal actress at best. So tremendous is a bit of a stretch. For which I would say opportunities, sure. Tremendous opportunities?

No. I think tremendous in the first. Nobody was taking her calls. Her agency dropped her. Everything happened. I mean, she built up a side and an audience that wasn't there before because of the support for sure. Sure. If that audience would have traveled with her to that daily Wire Western and nobody saw that movie, barely made $18,000 in the movie. You're right. And that's what it was saying that she was going to go be this amazing star out of their damn mind.

They didn't have the power to promote those movies and stuff too in the way that the machine has for the, for the, I mean, I'm saying you can promote it to one side of things and you're not wrong that you probably could have, the more people should have gone and seen it. I don't know how good the movie was and I didn't even see it. But I just feel like what it is is that, you know me and, general. I hate social media. I can't stand it where I think that it gets like, it gets a lot of people in trouble all of the time. It gets people in trouble all of the time on both sides of the coin. It gets people on trouble all of the time. So it's like, I always was like, would, Rich Schmode out. I would please, please stay off Twitter. Please. Because the thing is what happens. It goes, it goes right past the person at first and it goes to those in charge. And they're the ones that are,

Hey, what do we do? What do we do? And a lot of times you get that whole thing of like, oh, well, we're supposed to do this. That's it. You're gone. And that happened a lot during that period of time. It happened a lot. So it could have been one of those things, maybe again, where it was like, hey, can we agree to put this on ice for a little bit, let it settle? You know, because there was no, she didn't have to come back in season three. Just don't make a public, don't fire it. I, well, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're putting out a lot of arguments at once, so I want to take it more.

Sure, no, please, go ahead. Which one do you want to talk? That's up to you. Whatever I said that you disagree with them off. Well, we tackle the tremendous opportunities, and I think it's absolutely, she still can go to convention. She's been going to conventions.

No one stopped her going. She's signing cards and stuff all the time. So that has ended, but she got lucky with this role. She really did. She wasn't like, wow, we got to see. Her entire role in Haywire was voiced over, very strong rumors there was Laura San Giacomo and it was because she can't act you saw her in

fast and furious she's terrible in fast and fury so her doing street kick or seven or ass kick or seven whatever that's where she belongs and that straight to DVD Lionsgate kind of area so but john Favro liked her liked her like this liked her for this role wrote the role for her she came in and she did a good job to good to middling job in her role they didn't give her too much to do because they know she's limited they protected her you know and so it's fair that she got a she established self well, that's fair. But the idea that she had all these opportunities we established, in my opinion,

she had gotten Ferry, she had gotten Deadpool, she had gotten, she was getting rolled. No one was like, we got out, you know, she's amazing, you know, limited screen time. She was bad, fast and furious. Rhonda Rousey was better than that. Let me tell, let me tell you first of all, I don't think she's a great act. I don't. She's not. But she got opportunities

and look, the things that she did well in, I think, but I thought before Star Wars, what you meant. 100%, but I thought significant, but I thought significantly though she was getting better and I thought she was I thought she was good in mandolian season one and two I really did I thought she was better in season two than she was in one but I thought she was getting better and I say this also too I had that opportunity a couple of times to interact with her and as a person overall I'm not like not beliefs as a person yeah she's

I feel hard or heart she's a really good person like you really do I think that but that I think that's what's mind-blowing christian is that she is I follow I followed her on social media for a very a long time. And I had a crush on her since American Gladiators. Like I thought she was very attractive and I was very happy. I loved Haywire. I've told everybody to see that movie because I enjoy the film in Soderberg. Soderberg has a history of getting great performances from actresses that aren't necessarily that strong consistently.

Julia Roberts. Hey! I know it. But like so this situation here, I thought she, I thought this was, he did a great job with her. Right. And so it was all right, cool. Cool. But like what what is so mind-blowing is when you look at her posts and as I said, I follow on social media, they became increasingly more, how can I say this? Just more seeking the division, seeking the battle, seeking the fight, more explosive, more vitriolic, more toxic. I mean, comparing criticizing Republicans to what happened to Jewish people in the Holocaust, there's madness. And whoever does that is madness because no one is, well, I mean, what we're seeing,

now is we're seeing people getting rounded up. And so that's, and I know it's not the show for that. That is really unsettling and scared to see what's happening now. Now you can start maybe making those comparisons. But back then and the battles that were going on, it was a nonsense comparison, no matter who was making that comparison, right? And so to me, I think Disney was within their rights to say, we don't want this person representing us.

And I think if this was Scarlett Johansson or if this was an actress, they really had a massive, like, belief in, they'd have figured something out. They tried, they get her to go to a LGBTQ listening session with 45 people and Kathleen Kennedy. She refused to do it. So Disney did their due diligence to try to bring her back into the fold and at least play nice with everybody and be done with it. But she didn't. And so in the end, they let her go. And this is just a settling lawsuit to get her out of the way.

This is not, Disney admitted no wrongdoing in those settlements. Do you think that they're going to hire her back? No. I thought initially they said yes. I thought initially they would, but as I looked at the thing more and talked to some other people who are in the industry, it's very much like, hey, we're doing this. If they bring her back, it might be for a one-off in the whole like everybody together in the Mandoverse movie. She might show up in a certain moment. But I don't think they're going to bring her back to put her in Rangers of the New Republic or a car.

Probably not. Well, because I think that, I mean, it also depends on what Disney, if that's part of the lawsuit, you know, that's the, you know, that's the same. part of the settlement is that they have to bring it back, you know, I don't know. It didn't say as much, but it didn't say, right. It didn't say. But if there's something there, because I know Favro liked working with her a lot. Yes. He said that multiple times.

She has reached out after she got. So it's certainly possible. The question is, are they going to, because there will be a thing if they hire her back. It's just going to, it's going to be a thing. The question is like, well, yeah, we don't care. We want to have that thing. We want to put this behind us. We want to move forward.

and we want to bring her back. It's possible because they never did anything with Caradine. They didn't say she died. Yeah, right, exactly. It's possible. But the other side, like I said, well, first of all, she doesn't need the money at all because her family's parents only, they're Caesars or something.

They're like they're big into the casino. I've been saying this for two years. But it's, it is not about, it wasn't about the money. It was about, I think, and again, that's why that's particular part of the statement was so telling. was that whether it's a lot of opportunities or not. What we both agree are, after that whole thing, there were no opportunities. So right, right.

So now with that statement, they're hoping in the same way that there's other people who have, you look at like what Army Hammer is trying to get his career started again. And there's other people who were, who got hit and kind of, Chris Delia, Christa Leah right now is torn all over the place again, too. He's he's back and he was. So there's that balance back. Okay. Right.

Louis King, everyone, people are balking back from it. The other thing that I was going to say that I heard you say on the show that I don't agree with. Um, and that is that you said that if, if Kamala Harris would have won,

this wouldn't have happened. Oh, 100%. I disagree. The judges were already in place. It was the same, it was the same, those judges and everyone,

that, that system was a settlement. This is no, I'm saying, verdict. This was a settlement between the parliament. judges in general and the court system in general that's been put in place was put in place uh or these the the the idea of what was going on in culture i think i should say the with everybody that was

in power was in power already that are making those decisions legally it wasn't i don't think it's just because of well if we make this decision uh the white house is going to strike us down i don't think that that's necessarily what what this was what do you mean the last six months they've been doing that they know but yes and this I haven't seen them be behind her. I saw it must be behind her. Yeah, Musk responding her. I think if Musk and Trump were still like, you know,

simpatico, because we know they've had the breakup over the last few months. I don't know how much of that is real or isn't real. But like, because when you talk about billionaires, really, you can't put normal expectations on them. The idea of this situation, if they just had bubbled up to the surface to the point where they felt like and that they felt like, well, this is something that could be a new culture war, let's bring her out, make her a hero, blah, blah, blah, blah.

then Trump would have absolutely gotten involved because there's no there's no topic too small, too petty to whatever for him not to get involved if he sees the benefit for himself. So there may be possible, Christian, that he got like, how can I say this, that they may have gotten some information

that when they settled that lawsuit with ABC with Stephanopoulos for 15 million. And remember, Disney owns ABC, so Disney's privy to all this, legal might have gotten like, hey, by the way, are you guys going to solve, this thing with Gina. I don't think you guys

want to get sued again. We will pursue that if it doesn't come to a resolution that makes sense. And so I think that's absolutely what happened. Because yeah, no, there's no way this would have happened if Kamala Harris wins. Here's why I hear another reason why I disagree. Because they would have bought this to the end.

They don't, that's why I disagree. They didn't have a strong enough case. They didn't. They didn't have a strong enough case as to say like, well, because there's other people, they probably use a ton of different examples of other people who had political of views and posted things and continue to post things out there and continue to say things. Like you look at and a company can decide who they want to represent them.

Yes. And what's of views they want to represent them. They have the free right in this country to say, I don't want this person representing us. Unless you know. I know, but unless you feel that it's one of these things. This is what I'm saying legally. It is a hard thing to beat someone saying they took me out of my place of work because they didn't agree with my political views.

That's an at-will state, isn't it? So they can decide to take her out for any reason they feel comfortable taking her out in. Yeah, but again, that's when you start your lawyer. You're like, well, that person here has a, as it, it's because of this side, because of the state of the country and because of the back and forth and two Boston Red Sox versus Yankees where we are today. Right. That is a, it's a, it's an argument that is just harder to, you know,

prove as far as hard to say, hey, listen, well, we got rid of this person because she was doing this on the scene. She wasn't working. That was the thing. She was not on that. She was not on set when she did it. Right. She was on the comfort of her own house tweeting, whatever it was. That's

the problem. If it was that, now, I think that you're right. You're representing the brand. I know, but you're representing the, if you're representing the brand, if you're, if you're tweeting on set. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. No, no, finish. I was like, you, remember the R&B, RB3 thing? I'm not going to bring it up to rehab. But he was not at a Schmodeon event when he tweeted what he tweeted,

but yet it became. Right. Because he was connected with the counter. But I have also been very vocal in this that I, that was the skybound thing where I, I wanted to, the corporation, we don't want you.

I wanted to suspend him. I wanted to say, hey, take a break and he wouldn't find. And that was the case. It was like because at that time, it was, everybody going on. I was like, whoa, whoa,

take it easy. And because of that argument, he wasn't, He was at home. There's all this stuff going on. It should have been a thing, the same way I think with her. Give her a break. Give him a break.

But they tried. She wouldn't listen. They asked her to stop three separate times to stop tweeting the stuff. Take a little bit of a break. Don't be so. Don't look to create the fights, the battles, but she wouldn't stop. And look, I'm not saying she, you know, I can see some people be like, that's freedom of speech.

Yes, not freedom of consequences. I got another one for you. Yeah. If someone's straight down, yeah, hell yeah, like, hell yeah, sleep with 12-year-olds. Like, you know, what are you going to be like, you know what? Don't fire me. Sure. Well, look at what happened to James Gunn.

Well, look, what happened in those tweets. He was joking tweets. I got rid of him right away. But then they brought him back for, because anyway, so this is brought up to me. Okay. So what about this? Disney might not have wanted the case to go on, going further to avoid the discovery phase. Who knows what emails could have shown inside of that?

of what though maybe back and forth of whatever it might maybe there was more inside of it that's more conspiracy theory stuff and i don't i don't truck in that stuff too much so i think i think disney saw the lay of the land saw that paramount you know had to pay what 18 million to be able to be able to get that merger to go through it's not a coincidence as soon as they paid all of a sudden the merger went through within weeks uh you've seen the ABC as again 15 million You see him holding all these colleges hostage for quote-unquote progressive teachings, whatever. You see that this guy is essentially running the country like he's a mobster. And so if you're a company like Disney and you're getting hits from the right wing,

the anti-war people have caused it over with. Yeah, you want it to be over with and be dumbed. And it costs you nothing because I think from what they said, she only sued for like 75 grand, which she was getting paid 25 in episode. So it was a modest number. For her, it was more about. I just want the pride of the victory. She wants an opportunity to try to work again.

Now she can walk in and go, I won my, I settled with Disney. They essentially admitted they were in the wrong. Hire. No, they didn't. Again, she didn't say that. I'm saying she could say that, though. She could say that. Wrong.

All right. Anyway, let me guys make them all this. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. You think she's going to work for Disney? We're going to see. I appreciate that. Of course.

But we'll see. We'll see what happens. we'll see where Gina Carano lands. Okay, John, I think I have some scoops. Oh, bring it. I don't know how, I don't know how much. Let me say this real quick. Christian, you rarely break stuff.

So when you break stuff, I pay attention. I want to make it clear because the Sadie's thing thing you broke. Some people were coming at you for that. And I'm like, he doesn't put himself out there unless he's really, really, really, sure. So I don't care if I'm looking forward to it. So I'll tell you, I've told this story of how the Sadie sinking thing. Yeah, a bunch of people that people that you and I both know. Someone that we both know very well was and someone that if they said something, go, oh, well, that's probably legit.

He said, we're, Sadie Singh came up and she goes and and the person goes, wasn't a she, that actually, whatever, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. I actually said she didn't. I said, wait, wait, it doesn't matter. Gender fluid. Gender fluid. So the person had said, oh, yeah. she's in that um the spider room was Gwen Stacy and I'm what wow just casual and I go I thought it was

a fire start or whatever the hell is called and I or or Gene gray and person like nope and I was okay and so because that person said that but anyway that was that um and then the the the other thing that I said in January which somebody else took credit for I don't care you know that you and McGregor coming back is uh Obi-won in uh Soaker now on wherever he was, some con that he was at, he had said something long as where they thought people that he confirmed it. But it was also maybe he was confirming that his wife was back. Right.

Right. That's silly. Of course she's back. She's Hera. Of course she's back. Am I not supposed to say that? Come on, man. He's in the show.

That's that. But there's other stuff too, and we'll see that stuff pans out. But the two things that I have right now, Okay. And this very well could have been reported. And if they, if it is, then it's not,

then it's not in his scoop. Okay. Dr. Doom. Yes. He's going to be wearing multiple masks, at least two of them. Hmm.

Is that the, the, what's it? How do you pronounce the where he's from? Latvaria, whatever? Peria, yeah,

Latvarian leader, which is essentially the chill doom. Yeah. And then there's the super villain which says the classic kind of angry doom. Yeah. Those are the two that are going to happen. And then the,

other thing is that Doom is actually from the Fantastic Force universe. A lot of people were wondering if he was in time or else. He's actually from the Fantastic Force universe. Yeah. He has not huge scoops, but just like a little fun. Oh, I like it. And look, it makes sense from some, obviously from what we saw in the movie, right, Christian? Because we saw the Latvaria placard there at their, essentially their version of United

Nations and no one was there. Right. And then we see Doom in the post-credit scene there talking to Franklin. And so we don't know that anyone can universe jump yet or dimension jump yet. And so it makes sense to be coming from the universe and be upset about it. So there's, there's something. Remember,

it's been what, four years since Galactus tried to take over and how long is that ship been sitting out the galactic's ship in space? Did Doom go up there? So there's questions all around. And with your first one, there's a lot of rumors. And I'm starting to kind of lean that way that they're using a storyline from the comics

where doom can take over people's bodies. And that Tony Stark might not be necessarily the doom. that they're going forward with that he's actually the Tony Stark but he's taken over his body to use as a way of smoothing, getting himself even more popular and even getting himself in the situations.

So we might see many masks beyond just the masks that you put on but also the masks of the face. So I'm very interested to see whether they do that. So yeah. All right. So what do you guys think about that? Dr. Doom, two masks, same universe.

Let's say you. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. John, huge news broke this morning. What's up? Huge news. This deal that the UFC did with Paramount. See this?

Dude. This is massive. And it's so massive. And I'll tell you why it's going to get a lot of people. Param is great for Paramount Plus. And UFC is going to start to get new people on board with this sport again. Paramount is the new home of the UFC in the USA. They acquire the rights for $7.7 billion over seven years.

It starts in 2026. The best news for fans, the PPV model is dead. All of the. events are part of the regular subscription, including great. Thank you. It's going now. UFC is going to Paramount and CBS 36. Dana White confirmed the move in a post on Instagram saying it puts UFC among the biggest sports in the world. He said the historic deal of Paramount and CBS is incredible for UFC fans and our athletes for the first time ever. Fans in the U.S. will have access to all of UFC content without a pay-per-view model, making it more affordable

and accessible to view the greatest fights on a massive platform. This deal puts UFC among the biggest sports in the world. The exposure provided by Paramount and CBS Network under the new structure is a huge win for our athletes and anyone who watches and loves a sport. Paramount confirmed both the length and cost of the deal in the news released Monday, while the average annual cost of the deal is $1.1 billion. The payment structure is weighted with Paramount paying less money early in the deal. The deal is only for UFC's U.S. rights. Paramount is interested in buying the international when they become available.

It's said in Monday's release. It's a bold new step for the UFC. Under the new deal, it's ditching the pay-per-view model. All UFC events, including 13 number shows and 30 fight nights will be. be included as part of a normal subscription with Paramount Plus. Select number events will be simulcast on CBS. Under UFC's previous rights deal, premium events could be viewed via pay-per-view. Fans looking to watch events under UFC's current rights deal need to own an ESPN plus

subscription and pay an additional $80 for premium UFC fights. That model will continue through 2025. Sony Fan who wants to watch 319 on Saturday will need to go through that process. Starting in 2026, all fans will need to watch UFC events in his description to Paramount Plus. So this is the surreal moment for me. Okay. I broke this news to former UFC welterweight champion Matt Sera this morning. Oh wow.

Very surreal moment for me where I told him a UFC thing, which he was, he thought was great too. I think he's going to talk about it on filter today when he does it with him and Norton. This is going to make me probably the UFC fan I used to be back in the day. Okay. Because one of the reasons I stopped watching it is I was like I can't get invested because I'm watching this and I'm not paying $80 every single time I just can't do it I'm not following sport the same way that I used to but I have Paramount Plus I have it It's like okay and in the same way that I'll probably become less of a WWE fan I ain't paying another

$29 a month for ESPN it's the stupidest decision they ever made they're doing they're doing they're doing they're doing it's a stupidest decision they're doing it's a great deal on pecock I love it that's essentially what they're doing they're the peacock deal now Yeah, absolutely yeah it's very smart. I think it's going to get a lot of people over, I agree that it's going to really turn the sport into something even more special than it is. And it is also going to make Paramount plus a player in the game. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is what happens when you get huge influx of cash with a billionaire coming in to buy your network. You have the ability to make these big decisions and make these big deals. And there's no way they weren't negotiating all of this while they were waiting for the merger to finally be approved. Of course they were,

whatever you want to say about it. They did because you don't make this kind of deal overnight. You know, there's a lot of particulars for this stuff. Right. I think this is very smart. I love that they said that the pay-per-view model is essentially dead. What do you get to watch boxing or something like that, which I think needs to end as well, because that's the way you bring people into the tent. And there are other ways you can make money if you get a lot of people coming into the tent to see your product. And people nowadays are spending so much money. And they're, they're working multiple jobs. They want something that is friendly to them.

So you say, I pay one fee for a month. I get all these movies plus UFC, that's great. You know, and as you said with Peacock, I get all these TV series, these movies, and I get to see WWE stuff. That's awesome. ESPN is a little different. I think it's if you already have an app or,

sorry, if you already have cable with ESPN or you have YouTube TV with ESPN, there's no extra charge. But if you don't have ESPN in any way, shape or form. I have it though, but I have it. I thought from what I was told, I have it through the bundle. And I heard that you have, you should be fine for the WWE. Yeah, the $30 is for people that don't have ESPN in any way, shape, or form, and they have to buy it separately as a $30 charge. And so that's, that's the difference there. Some people just want to buy specific channels. They don't want to

buy a whole package. So ESPN to make it a little bit friendly is saying you have the package already. So Haskell said ESPN bought the NFL Network Red Zone. Also, the new deal with DVDs for their pay-per-views and other consens. ESPN Plus is not part of the bundle, though. Yeah, well, part of the bundle. You know what, because I pay, well, I guess I should say, I pay separately for ESPN Plus. So I have. Right.

Right. So I only have regular SBN in the bundle. But ESPN Plus is only like 70 bucks a year. It's not that much. I don't think. Apparently, it's another 2999 or so it's not going to be part of the bundle. Right. So it, but it doesn't start immediately.

So you could, I think you could still get it. and then kind of be grandfathered in. I don't, but you know, this is a smart move all around. Very smart. Yeah, because sports is it now.

Yeah, I was watching, I started watching Unreal last night, actually, it's really good. Hmm. Do you like it? Uh, yes,

but I'm two episodes in. Yeah. But I can also, you know, dude, we, you've worked in it for a year. Yeah,

so you know where they're kind of fudging stuff. They're painting a picture. They're painting a picture. It's reality. Really, really TV's not reality. Yeah, right.

Exactly. But you just, you what I thought was fascinating about is that you get like like you get the process right because like yeah because when I was when I was working there and it was funny is that Ed Koski is highlighted a bunch of times in the beginning to and Ed was there when I was there's been there a long time and I was Ed was one of the guys he was really nice to me. Ed was I remember Ed when when Ed popped up there was like oh Ed's there. Ed was one of the people who he was very clicky there yeah very clicky no I know Ed was very welcoming Ed was a very welcoming dude and I'm glad that he's still

I mean, he's crushing. He's still there. And I didn't want to say this on air, but I guess I will anyway. Bruce Pritchard's a turd. Yes, he is. He's a turd. Yeah. He was a turd to me.

He was a dick to me. And I don't know if I've ever said it before. He was a real dick to me. And he was a dick to that guy that was in the unreal thing. Yep. Like when the guy was like, he's putting on a match. He's like, tell him to go home. He's trying.

And he's like, I don't know. I saw him. He did the same shit to me. Like, I remember like he was a dick. He was a dick to me. And I was like a 23-year-old kid. He was a dick to everybody else. And I was like, you know, I'm not going to say anything about whatever.

I was like, no, you know what? I didn't like the way he treated that guy. I loved what Regal did and the way Regal did afterwards. But Bruce Pritcher's a dick. He's always been a dick. It's pretty much, you know, it's, you know, it's so many stories about him. And if you watch that Vince Doc, he really comes off like a massive prank. He is.

He's a dick. I'm telling you, he was a major asshole to me when I was there. And he was, and he was, and he hasn't changed at all. He was just the same way when he said he showed that how he was to that guy. And he's like, I don't care. Whatever. It was overbooked. It was overmatched.

Like, no, asshole. That match was awesome. That match was not overbooked. That match played perfectly, but because you wanted to be a dickhead and just and show and masculate him in front of everybody. It's the Vince way of things. Yeah. sucks.

Well, he's that he's that little dog that dances around the big dog and he's always been protected by the big dog. So he thinks he can act like the big dog. We've all met people like that. We've all known people like that. that's who Pritchard is, you know. He was, he was, like, Paul Heyman was phenomenal to me. Brian was phenomenal to me.

They were all, he was, he was, like, Uncle PS Hayes was just, you know, he was the old kind of vet that didn't. No, he cares about it. He didn't pay me any attention, but not a dick. Or in his, he was a dick. Yeah. Anyway, he's jealous of all the new people that come in because they, he sees them as threats. We've also worked with people like that. So anyway, so the deal with UFC is a good deal.

I think it makes sense. I think Paramount makes out the winners here. This is going to get me to watch more UFC. Because I have as you said at the beginning of this segment. Like, I can't wait to see more UFC now because I was not going to pay 70 bucks. I can't pay that. I don't want to want to. You know who else is going to be really happy that this is happening?

Was that Vegas. Oh, yeah. And Vegas needs it. Jesus. See the numbers coming by the Vegas. The apps and everything now are the betting apps are going to lose their minds. This is probably a huge deal because the amount of people now, they're like, oh, okay.

I was just, I'm sitting there. Oh, I get this in my subscription. Sure. I'll watch it. Sure. But anyway, what do you guys make of this deal? Put the comments in there. UFC Paramount.

Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Last story here that I want to get to. Okay. Because I feel like I kind of get to. John's thoughts on this one. I know we're discussing today on, and we'll get Jeff's take on it too. But Gunn, James Gunn, the Robin, he dismisses the Robin and the Batman Part 2 talk.

Now, the other day, frequent film, film scooper, Jeff Schneider, claimed to have a hot tip about Matt Reeves and Matt St. Thomas script for Batman Part 2, which was completed back in June. With production slated to begin the spring of next year, casting will soon begin, and Snyder indicated it was a dark script that takes a big swing and will also introduce a version of Robin. Today, James Gunn has decided to debunk the rumor on social media, writing on threads, guys, please stop believing this nonsense. I think six of us have read the script. Nobody knows anything about the Batman too. Within minutes, Snyder responded out with his own post, saying that the wording of the statement is more of a dismissal than an outright denial. Sounds like another non-denial

from Jimbo. Why not just say Robin isn't in the script? Seems simple, right? I know why he's not saying that. Despite the response, the general consensus seems to be the guns right, and there is no Robin in the script. Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Circus, Colin Farrell, all expected back for the sequel. Batman Part 2 remains scheduled for release on my birthday. October 1st, nice, 2007.

All right, John. Yes. Go for it. Well, we're going to talk more about this tonight because we're going to be live at 5 p.m. P.T. tonight on my channel with the Hot Mike with Jeff. we're doing a special episode because of this. But here's my reaction to it. I think this is a fascinating situation.

And clearly James is aware of these things now. And he does feel the need to weigh in on them sometimes. And I know for a fact that Jeff with this story has been kind of, you know, he's been holding on to this one. And now he's, he revealed it. Because for him, he's doing what he's doing, which is to reveal the things that he knows from people that he bets and trusts. I do think it's a little funny that James said just a few days ago,

only four people know my DC plans and today it was six or whatever his response reason it was six. It's you and I both know, Christian. It's absolute nonsense when these people say, oh, only four people have ever seen it. It's an utter lie because people talk all the time in that town and people like, David Zazlov's probably seen it. You think David Zazlov didn't mention it to somebody in passing at a Hollywood party? you know where we hear a lot of the scoops at Hollywood parties.

You know why? Because people have loose lips. Executives talk, junior executives talks, assistants. Assistance know how everything is running that damn down. And they're the ones setting up the meetings. They're the one listening in on the meetings. So they know what is being said and what and they've got friends they go out with that are around their age and they know people and they talk. So this idea that only six people, only four people know this or that.

I think it's nonsense. I do think Jeff is playing a little bit of the semantics game when he says, well he didn't outright deny it but i do think james well he called it nonsense he called it nonsense right and i think james gunn saying things like like you know stop believing this stuff is ridiculous because this has been going on since the 1920s 1930s in hollywood there have been scoopers in hollywood for every decade that hollywood has been around and more often than not they're right the big ones get big because they're more often than not they're right so you know feel how you want to feel about it but um i i still side with jeff i do think rob

is in the movie and James Gunn might be playing semantics that he's not fully Robin or he might not be 100% Robin just yet. I don't know how he's playing it. So yeah. I just don't understand. I goes back to the conversation I had with Winston the other day I've had with you many times. I just don't understand why Gunn would even bother

to respond to it. If it's not real and if it's BS, then let it be BS. And like don't don't address it. Do you guys stop believing this stuff? Because so no one gets any of this stuff right? Nobody. Like I said, there were certain things that I heard through great, I didn't make it up. I heard this stuff and some of it might have not panned out.

Some of it might have and you just called it knots. I'm not in my mind. I'm just saying in general. Like, because I'm not a scooper. But that's what Jeff does. That's what other people do. And so it's like, why even address it? I don't get it. And I think it comes from a lot of people. And this is probably going to fall on deaf ears for some people who are watching or listening. But Jeff does a lot of work to bet these sources. He has and the people think, people think Jeff sitting in his basement or in his apartment, like making this stuff out of thin air. And that's what you all do, not what Jeff or some of you do, not Jeff. Jeff is a guy who's, he has contacts all over that scene.

He, you know, he wears pink speedos, people make fun of him. The man is having dinner with Lucasville. The man is having dinner with agents, with actors, with managers. I've seen it happen personally when I was at Collider. He has. My perfect day has sand, saltwater, 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 Skyrizi.

Risenkizum at Rizza, a prescription only 150 milligram injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy. With Skyrizzie, most people saw 90% clearer skin and many were even 100% plaque-free at four months. Skyrizy is just four doses a year after two starter doses. Don't use if allergic to SkyRizzi. Serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability. to fight that may occur. Before treatment get checked for infections and tuberculosis, tell your doctor about any flu-like symptoms or

vaccines. Thanks to Skyrizzi, there's nothing on my skin, and that means everything. Ask your doctor about Skyrizzi, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic in psoriasis. Visit skyrizzi.com or call 1-866 Skyrizzi to learn more. These meetings all the time, he cultivates

these relationships with people, and he's a very bored. He's got a board. He goes through it. He goes through it, he's calling everything is he picks he picks people out at the beginning that's the thing jeff establishes relationships from people when they're starting out it's like junior executives or assistance like he establishes relationships when he sees potential that this person can go far so that when that person gets to that position they have already established a relationship he can call them up and vet these things so he's not coming out of is he always right no and sometimes things change so it makes it

look like he's wrong, but I do think it's fascinating when anybody comes for the professional credibility of Jeff, especially when they have no effing clue how he does his job and they have no effing experience doing his job. I think it's a bit sanctimonious to sit there and judge what he's doing based on his actions sometimes. Do you know how much money I would pay to watch an interview between Jeff Snyder and James Gunn? One, yeah, you know, yes, 100%. I'm telling you. Like, don't come me out of this. I want the hot mic in on with James Gunn. James Gunn, if you're watching by any chance, come on the hot mic. Jeff will lead the interview, but like, you got to come on the hot. Well, wait a minute. If you can get a hot mic, you better not let him lead the interview.

I'll tell you that. In the same way that I say about James, I think that sometimes Jeff should let this stuff speak for itself too, because Jeff, as we know, and I love Jeff, and I would tell Jeff if he was on the show with me. Yeah, 100%. Jeff needs to put the thing down, the the phone. He needs to see in in what I don't mean I'm not talking about posting your stories. Right. And I got something coming in. Check this out. Let people say what they're going to say. Let people do what they're going to do. Oh, you mean the battles. I'm trying the battles that he's going to do. Like what there's like, it's like, drop your scoop. Talk about what you got coming in and go. Let let your scoop speak for themselves. You're going to get some right. You're going to get some wrong. Yeah. But let it let let let it speak with going after people and going

the back and forth, like that battle. I mean, look, he's in a space right now where he's, he's in business for himself, so he doesn't feel like he's got to worry about anything. But I just, you know, I just, I just, I just hate social media. I just hate it. I think it's the worst of us. You have a real thing. Well, it also brings out the best of us.

I wanted to push back on your rant the other day. I didn't push back in the moment, but like, there's a lot of positive things that have happened from social media as well. I know you like to bash it sometimes, and I think it's fair to. I was going on, that was politics. I was social media, but it was different. there was a different rant. Oh, yeah, fair point.

Oh, yeah, fair point. Anything with social media. I just think social media, I mean, a lot of things have happened. A lot of information has been doled out on social media that people didn't have before, especially with all the stuff that's going on now. Like, it's great to have resources you can go to that people put numbers and phone numbers rather and websites. So there's a lot.

But yes, people do get in social social. I never said there wasn't some positive things that have come. I mean, look, if it wasn't for social media, you and I would have careers right now. 100%. And it's more down all that stuff. Yeah, yeah. I just think that. we're too relying on it. I think that we're too, like, there's too much like the fact that people,

dude, like this is something, you know, I wasn't going to bring this up, but like the fact that I don't, I don't, you know what? I'll just say this. I'm going to go ahead. I was on stage with Sam, but a really good show and I posted it. Some guy decides to write to me on there. Oh, did I bring my brother with me in his cremated? Oh, my thing. Right. Right. Right. That's what that person wanted to say to me that day. I have been in a spot where, to me, people say things to me like that. You know, people have the right, they feel like they have the right to say those types of things. It bounces off of me now in search of it.

But you know what I thought about? What? What if my mom was checking my Twitter thing? Oh, yeah. What my brother was looking at that thing? And what do you do? Like, that is, again, I didn't, you know, like, again, I don't really respond to. of people much anymore, but there was even another guy posted something out about some clip that we had said about the, the, I was talking about box office.

And I was saying that people don't, people who don't want us to talk about box office, I said, stick it up your ass. And this guy took this out of context and said, oh, see, there was one of Superman to be good. I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? That's not what the clip is about. I said, look, man, I get it. You don't like me. You don't need to like me. That's fine. I was like, but use context. And then I'm like thinking of myself, it's like, one of these things is like, these are people that don't, you don't see people. as real people anymore because you're just tweeting people. You know what I mean? And like that's the whole thing. And a dumb comment like this. Like this is like this is a, this is a dumb comment. Like this is a dumb. This is a stupid person. Can't take the heat, put yourself out there. That's not, that's not the heat though. Like when you're taking personal insults and going after like that type of thing, that's just being a human being. There's a difference of saying,

hey, hey, asshole, you this, you that, you that. And you're going back and forth and you're arguing with someone and you're yelling. Or, hey, I hate this guy. This guy sucks. I'm not a big fan of him. Okay, fine. That's whatever. That's part of it. You know, not everyone's going to like you. There's a difference between being, you know, like someone and being a, you know, a not good person.

You know what I mean? I mean, like I hear what you're saying 100%, dude. And I echo everything you're saying. I've recently, I had two or three commenters say, like, can you try killing yourself again? Right. And I literally say comments like that. Oh my God. Like, but then you, but I'm trying to do this lately more and more school.

like, you have to find like pity for them. Like God, I feel bad that your life is so bad that you feel a comment like this is okay to post and that you have so much hatred that you would post something like that. It's not easy for me because I, you know,

I'm a fighter. I've been holding my whole life. You don't know what somebody's going through. But that's what I'm saying. Right. Is that they're using it, but I'm trying to not. Look, but you also don't, I've many times and I've seen people go, you know what?

was in a bad mood. I shouldn't have done that. That's what I'm talking about. That's why I think social media is the worst. Oh, I see what you say. There's like that moment. It gives you the opportunity. Yeah, because like I said, what we're talking about this before with Gina Carano? I guarantee you, I will bet you a thousand dollars that if you sat down with Gina Carana for an hour at a lunch or dinner, you'd come out going, she's a really good person. I guarantee you that you would. But I agree. Yeah, which would make even more insane about why would you, but I would Sure. But that's, and then it goes to, again, social media. Right.

And posting, you know what? Because you feel like, well, this is where I can have my voice be heard. And sometimes that is good that you can have your voice be heard. Other times I think, I just think, I think it is the worst thing that has happened to society. I really do. I think it, I think it has destroyed us as, as, as human beings, as far as how we go out, interact with people, do things, other things. The fact that most kids are just buried into their phones now, it's an absolute disaster. It was the, it's the worst, it's the worst invention. like ever it is it really it really is but anyway old man yelling at clouds guys so what do you guys

think about all this put your thoughts in there let us know um all right we're gonna get to your questions john you got 32 starting out the week not bad not bad at all but before we can get to those questions what's going on in the channel man yeah hey the it's the uh no it's the john roca channel yeah that's right we're launching very soon uh we will i got put a little bit behind because of things that happened this weekend we were launching next monday for sure and it will be the John Roker channel. We're solidifying all the graphics. But hey, today, live at 5 p.m. PT, the hot mic.

Me and Jeff Snyder back, as I said, talking about James Gun. We're also going to have a weapon spoiler review. So I'm finally going to watch it this afternoon. And Jeff and I can have some thoughts on it. Jeff read the script before he saw the movie. So it's going to be some nice insider baseball type talk as well. We got geek buddies spill the tequila tomorrow night. Another episode of the Hot Mike.

There was a new episode of the Jedi Way this past week. We might do another episode with Kevin Spatz back with Jedi Way and my own reactions and reviews of stuff. Are you seeing anything this week, Christian? I think there's nobody to. I was going to see it tonight, but I've been so, dude, I've been, I've been, I've been in a city like four days a lot. I'm going to spend some time with my family tonight. I'm going to take, I'm probably going to do the reaction with when it comes out. I just, I got to spend some time with it.

Alien Earth is tomorrow night as well. That's going to be a lot of fun. Does that come out tomorrow? It's, yeah, two episodes. Okay, good, good, good. All right. Well, good. So check out John's channel.

John, there's two missing super chats that aren't on the thing. So we're going to bring them up. and they're really nice one. Shane Adams on both of those. Okay, guys, personally, I feel we're in franchise fatigue, more than a superhero fatigue. Ballerina and Cruz's Last Mission Impossible underperformed. Horror movies thrive while still bringing the same genre, give variety in the story.

While I'm excited for the Punisher special, how cool would it have been as a feature-length film in theaters? Offer something different to the Marvel brand, a gritty action movie set within the MCU. Thank you to Shane for that one. As far as like, I mean, the argument can be made there that there's franchise fatigue, but it's again, I don't want to. I'm as sick of talking box office as everybody else is, or budgets rather.

But that has a lot to do with it. Mission Impossible costs like $400 million or $350 million, whatever it was. And it's just like too much money for those movies. So that's why people weren't rushing out to see it. I don't think it's just franchise fatigue, though. I don't. I think it's a matter of people pick and choose because I would make the argument, Jurassic Park just made $800 million.

Yeah, not franchise fatigue. It's a matter of, yeah, what do you want to see and how much money you're going to spend? Because the experience in the theater stinks, those people on their phones, 30 minutes of ads and stuff beforehand. You have better surround sound at home. You have, or better, you know, everything at home. You don't have to deal with people on their phones. And you can do one experience per month. I think that's what it is.

What are you choosing to see per month? Yeah. I mean, how to train your dragon did well. Avatar, Fire, and Ash is going to do well. And we'll see how Tron Ares does. Final Destination, Bloodlines reawoke the franchise. And so, yeah, in Jurassic World, as you mentioned. And Wicked for Good is probably going to be really good.

And Minecraft is essentially launching a new franchise. So, yeah, you could argue that there is a little bit of franchise fatigue, but you've got to be specific. I think it depends on the franchise. right there seems to be some marvel fatigue for sure because i mean that fantastic four number is really scary and so there might be franchise fatigue depending on the franchise so there's more of a clarification on your point yeah uh all right next one here prizzi says saw wild hogs last night honestly not that bad i haven't seen that movie in prayer wild hogs wow tim allen kept

reminding me of christian love your work john you don't agree with all your takes but your passion is commendable easily my favorite co-host so could too see you season two please be good god i hope that season i hope i'm worried because he wrote the whole thing again but we'll see we'll say it's very kind of you uh you know nobody beats roxy but i appreciate you um but i don't remember i don't remember who's in it travolta tim a man almost yeah martin lawrence right me uh is it no which is the one of rob williams i forget the one of robbing that's no that's your thing and that's not wild hogs that's someone with billy crystal right the one you're thinking of oh is it oh thanks i don't know let me rob williams

Definitely not in wild hogs. Yeah. Tom Haldon, Martin Lawrence, John Travolta, and who else? Who's the fourth? William H. Macy. Oh, my God. I would have never. I would have missed the five-poena.

100%. 100%. Wow. Seriously, why do wild hogs make me teary? I don't even know if I've seen the whole movie, so I can't really tell you. Because you're getting older, probably. Who's ever sent this in? When you get older, all of a sudden, these films about older dudes,

all of a sudden, a guilty. It's crazy. Matt Boyle, hey, Christian, about a month ago, I asked a question about a Jaws prequel about Quint, and you had some info about it. Just wanted to see if you want to spill some intro. I'm going to get in trouble for this. I'm sure I was trying to say. I just know that there was somebody, they were working on this. Downey was working on. I don't know if Downey was going to be in it, but Downey was working on it, but that story that Quint tells. Oh, yeah, but the Newarkapolis, the USS Indianapolis?

They were working on that movie. That movie was, and I think it was really close. Like, when, Dowdy was working on that movie, I don't know where it is now, but they that that's all the info they it was close it was real close but that they were going to do that um okay let's say next one but yeah matt that's all i got on it is i mean i'm telling you when it was close it was like real close uh nathan drake i think the box office discussion can be interesting but jeff did crack me up last week when he said it was such a boring topic and who cares love the hot mike yeah i disagree with with jeff but i think jess also's tired to talk about comic book movies being in that discussion yes yeah that's really what he was yeah i spoke to him on the phone

like right afterwards when all that's up. And we were laughing our asses off talking about, but he's just like, I'm just tired of talking box office about these movies. I asked before it didn't make, because he just doesn't care. He, and has met it very clear. He doesn't believe that has anything to do with us why we care about budgets. And I

think he's very wrong. Yeah. I think that the reason way we don't see movies in more movies, the things that we like is because these people overspend, overuse, use things in a wrong way. I think it hurts consumers. So, I think he's wrong, but we just see, we don't see eye on that one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. John Darius, hey guys, how does studios determine if a show could continue giving the era of streaming? Really excited for Alien Earth and hoping it gets multiple seasons. TV might be best to tell more deeper stories. I don't know, honestly, the answer. I don't really, I would be lying if I told you I knew how streaming worked to how they looked at numbers and said, oh, we want another one. I would assume they compare it to cost John right like yeah yeah how much did it yeah exactly how much did you put into it and how much um what is the result of it and how much do you control of

it as well like did you make it did you create it that's also an element of it but they also clearly must have numbers that tell them like the interest is so high and we should lock this down now or they've seen the dailies and they're really because we get what like star trek strange new world is getting five seasons and they just barely did halfway three two season three so it's incredible that they can think that far ahead but it must be because they want to lock stuff down at a certain price and lock actors down at a certain price and commit them to the next two seasons because they can always say well we canceled the season we're not going to do because the second season came out and you guys clearly didn't want to watch it and we're not going to do it I mean look at

all the changes are going on to last of us for season three with druckman leaving and more on on kately diva so it's clear that they're they locks this stuff down but they're not necessarily fully committing to it have to adjust. So it's smart business in that way. Abinavduda who says to save ESPN DTC hassle, get a VPN

to access raw, Smackdown, NXT, PLEs live via Netflix Canada, UK, maybe so. Also, DTC will launch with D Plus and Hulu BUNO over 2999 month for years. Is that true? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll have to see, obviously, because I watch it so

casually now. Like I like watching WrestleMania with my little one. But yeah, it's like it's just, I just feel like I'm going to be more of a UFC fan next year than I'm going to be at WWE. I think it was a bad move for that ASPN deal. It was really bad. It's a lot. It's a lot.

NFL and WWE under ESPN. It's a lot, man. It's a lot. John Darius is comedy playing more of a role in a lot of horror films. I enjoy weapons, but I feel some directors are pushing too much humor. Talk to me, 2022 is a solid example of not overdoing it. I didn't think weapons had too much humor in it, though, at all.

I won't really remember laughing like really once. Yeah, I'm not sure. It was scary as hell. So, yeah, there's nobody in that show in that film. Yeah, it's really creepy, right? Yeah. Okay. It's get the hell.

Let's see. John Darius, Alien Earth has the potential to suppress even Romulus. The fact that they added in five new species, includes Zemort keeps it unique. What new ideas you're most succeeded to see in the new show? Honestly, I can't even give you an example of what I'm looking to see. I just, I think Romulus was the whole reason that I'm actually even interested in this,

because I think that it goes back to the point, John, of like, I always push back and people when they go, oh, that thing is dead. That's dead. They haven't made a good one in so long. I'm like, you get the right creators and the right person on board. Like we're just talking about Resident Evil, right? I think that anything can be saved if you have the right take to it. And I think that that's what Romulus did for me. I was like, oh, I'm interested in an alien again. And now because of it, now I want to see the show.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. And I've seen the first episode, which my reaction is on the channel. And I like the path they're walking. It's not, it's not a great first episode, but it's a good first episode, to damn good first episode. And you get a taste of the other alien species that they might be profiling in the show. There's no spoiler because they did talk about that in the trailer. So it's going to be a fascinating thing how they play that out. Because they're really laying the groundwork that they're going to explore a lot of things in this series. So I hope they nail it because I really want to enjoy it. The reviews overall have been pretty good I've seen so far.

from the episodes that have been released to the rutter london calling watching robert red for movies watch the natural for the first time really oh it's such a good one after i listened to the double episode of the cinephiles fantastic that natural is i watched that down too long ago i think that might still be my favorite baseball number one right my favorite major league my favorite yeah yeah major league's my favorite but then yeah yeah uh rene rayce good morning guys glad gina won the lawsuit or firing was unjust and not right hope she comes back to Star Wars, but I understand if she doesn't.

She didn't win the lawsuit. It's a settlement. Wait a minute. I know that you could, and I know that you have said that people are settling. It's usually because they know they're going to lose. No, I think it's case specific, right? In this situation, I think they just want to be done with it. So she didn't win.

Like Disney admitting wrongdoing, that's winning. But Disney didn't. So that's not a win. You know, it's not. It's a settlement. She gets her money. She gets whatever they, because they haven't released the financial terms,

that probably is for both sides. Would you say that she won the lawsuit if she appears in Star Wars? No, not even then. Really? Yeah, because it's so specific, right? Why are you appearing in Star Wars? Oh,

it's because Star Wars knows that they want to get the right wingers back watching their shit because they're, they're freaking out about how much their films are not doing well. And they think the anti-woke thing is a legitimately big, deal why they're not doing well so let's cater to those fans it's it's not a coincidence you watch it you'll see the next few years like there's not going to be a lot of people of color leading a lot of marvel stuff or women leading a lot of marvel stuff after the next few next year or so i think it's going to make some changes and so that's going to be their way of trying to placate that base

and bring them back into the team i don't think any executives at disney changed yeah no but the mandates changed the board changes things changed in in what they do so yeah Sean McCabe, great memories made Saturday. I got a chance to meet Sean and his lovely wife. And I'll tell you, I won't say what, because it's a personal name. Sean gave me a gift at the end of the show that was probably one of the best gifts anyone's ever given me at one of these things. And I don't know, I'll tell you off air because you'll appreciate it more than anybody.

How was his beer? Did you touch his beer? I did. He was slick. He was in a suit. You look good. Look at him. You look good.

He's a very good guy. I like Sean a lot. Sean like the better looking soul. They could be a tag team. They could be a tag team. I don't think Saul is in New York anymore. Otherwise, I think you would have been there. Oh, that's a shame.

Yeah, Scuba Steve. Hey, guys, wish in this digital world that movies dropped at the same time. The naked gun doesn't open until the 21st in Australia for F's sake. So frustrating. It is frustrating. I don't know why they still do that. Release at all the same time. It's all country specific, isn't?

Because Australia gets a lot of stuff. We don't see their series or shows or movies until six months later sometimes. so or a year so you just it's all country specific i love that nobody addresses this towards me anymore rightfully so even though i was sent it um joyous romer hey alah have you read the new bad batch novel may the force be with you guys it's right here i have not read it yet i just got it the other day from pangoon random house but i will absolutely be reading it because i love the bad ban i have a have a blast nathan drake any hype for nobody too any screenings so again i really want to see the movie. Like, I really want to, but I'm, I'm opting to make sure.

I still love family. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep, yep. We'll see it tomorrow night, but I kind of want to see the Alien Earth episode. So we'll see. Yeah, I want to see it. I like the first one a lot. I just, again, going out to, I want to break. But Jaro 3, because the Oscar movie is going to start coming in pretty fast and furious pretty soon. Bejaro 3. Weapons was good, but a bit hollow. What? I don't agree. Unlike sinners in 28 years. Curious about rewatchability. I think it's the most rewatchable out of the three of them, to be honest. Resident Evil should work because it can be just as still as he wants. Oh, man, I don't, yeah, I didn't, I don't agree with that. I don't think it was hollow. I don't,

because I'm not usually an advocate for the horror, thriller, psychological things. That's usually, you know. Tim, what up, Tim? Hale, we're just wondering how you compare and contrast weapons success to sinner's success and both use the element of horror and not that that pathetic throw by Cody Belling. Are kidding. Oh, my goodness. Anyway, let's go to the question about weapon success to sinner success. I think Sinner, you know, Ryan Coogler is another one.

He's already one of the established star directors right now, right? Yeah, it currently is. Yeah, and then I think that's where you get, Craigar, who is now becoming a star. But I think that there's Michael, and Michael B. Jordan, I think, is bigger movie star than, it tells, it has more star power, even more so than Josh Brolin, I think, more star power.

But, yeah, I think that it's, I don't know, that's, because as far as genre goes, yeah. I you know they're during the same they're in the same genre they really are because I Barbarian is way more creepier and more of a horror movie than weapons okay weapons is more again like I said it's more like a psychological throw I've been calling him more like the R-rated shaman and you'll see what I mean when you see the move yeah I would just I'd say it's a little too early to compare weapons success to sinner's success because we got to see how weapons does over

the next weeks remember sinners built from a ground base of support and people, for more to the mouth, kept bringing more and more people in. So, yes, good opening weekend, but I would hesitate to call it a full success or compare to the center's success until a few weeks from now,

and we can have a more discussion. Going back into the comment section during the time we were talking about sinners, but they, I mean, sinners, weapons, and they said that not only was Pedro in the movie, he had to recast the whole cast. Yeah, I guess everything,

hinged on Pedro being the lead and so they kind of had to move around. Interesting. Tim, also thoughts on ESPN having WWEPLEs instead of the hope of having all WWE content on Netflix like everyone else around the world. This is peak greed if you ask me. Stay safe and have a great week. I couldn't agree with you more, Tim.

I think it's absolutely stupid that they don't have the PLEs on Netflix. And if I was Netflix, I'd be like, why don't you just give it to us? Like everything is Netflix should be their home. I mean, is raw paying them out as much as they should. And maybe Netflix didn't want. want to pay. Maybe WW had a certain number and Netflix was like, nah, we're paying that much. We're not paying that much for that. Like maybe it's from raw and they're like, you know,

maybe. Maybe. And yeah, I think the ESP, how long is that stupid deal? The ESPN deal? I think it's, I'm not sure how long it is. I was going to say 10 years, but I doubt it's that. But yeah, I'm telling you that if I have to pay extra, I, you can tell me what happened. We'll do recaps on this show. I will never watch another PLE. It's a five-year deal starting next year. Yeah, I'm telling you, if I have to pay more than five bucks extra,

then I will never be watching a PLE from that company ever again. Darren Wright, what's the best random streaming B movie you can remember? Mine is Dark Encounter on Amazon, a great different take on the UFO genre. Huh. Yeah, I can't, great random streaming B movie.

I don't even know if I could, think of one. Yeah. I don't know. Great streaming B movie. I mean, I don't know if it's not a B movie, but like this,

it's probably even the same question you're asking, Darren. I just remember being like a surprised, low budget movie was like the rate. I remember seeing the raid in the read part two. Like I remember going to the theater going like just how epic that was. When that came in, I wasn't expecting it.

But again, it's not a streaming movie I saw it in the theater. So I don't really, I don't really know. I don't really have an answer to that, unfortunately. Yeah, I don't have anything that leaps to mind.

Let me think about it Yeah, let me think about it because I'll look through it. Yeah, please. 43 right now is where a half an hour away. So 43, can we get to 100 again for John to win the week? Last week, Roxy used the live drama to propel you guys over you. But then you know what happened as Mike and Mike and Roxy were so excited that they beat you that they thought they had it for the whole week. And so do you know what happened on Friday?

I know, I don't, yeah, no. So Friday, we're in the middle of having, it looked, it looked like, uh, capes were, like they were out of it. They were out of it and Licksey and Mike were gonna win. They were like 15 out from winning with like two minutes left to go on the show. And Sam came in to watch Lord of the Rings and she was here early. So she hopped on the show and then they won by like 20. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So anytime Sam comes in, you gotta get Sam, Sam, like for you, Latino Heat, we'll call it. Come on. Yeah. Amos.

El Babiaga. I'm mixed on the Zach movie like his, I really like his style, but the idea of using his own characters, worry me saying Leon's story has been told in the game, so not in his world saying Joel's story

was seen in game. I'm not, I mean, I'm assuming for Resident Evil. I don't know enough about it. But I'm excited to see what he's going to do. Yeah. Yeah. And then so Johnny Patrice says,

isn't Craig's approach to Resident Evil, just like 2002 make a good movie about the actual characters. Not another Alice. I don't care about Alice. Yeah, I mean, that's it is. Focus on the characters. Make me care about the characters and then I'll care about the world around it. That's what they did last of us. Yeah, true.

Very true. When does that movie even start shooting? Do we know? The Resident Evil one? I think it's going to be a bit. Because, I mean, he's still got to do this press and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. Late Night alum. Does this mean Rangers of the New Republic is back?

Probably not. No, and that has nothing to do with her or not. I think that because of the new, they're going to do as little TV as possible now. The TV didn't, they didn't do it right. It's not going to work for them. And I still don't understand why they don't do what Netflix does and make original movies. Make one,

spending $230 million on the acolyte, spend $140 million on a direct to streaming Star Wars movie. Well, I've heard that they're, you know, still, it's still something they're working on. The Rangers the New Republic is? Yeah. I've heard that they're still kind of working at and adjusting it and rejiggering it and stuff. So I wouldn't be surprised if once, if they start to get like good returns at the box office and good response that they can, they put this in motion.

And who knows? By that time, you know, things might have calmed down and they'd be like, okay. She can, Kara can come in as like a recurring guest star, like she is in Mandalorian. Because I always think less is more with Gina. And so that could be the way they could bring her. So she wouldn't come back to lead it as was I think the originally plan. Okay. She would come back to maybe be a guest star. Alan Smithy, I'm sure Carla Jujino is still that Gina Carrano's name has been clear. Was she getting crap for? I don't know. Was she?

Are people that dumb? Jesus. Come on. I shouldn't say that. I'm not supposed to insult the intelligence of moviegoers. Anyway, go ahead. Geek Loadstars. What's your guys opinion on the Carrion and Scarlett asking for bookings? People saying it's a work, but I don't see it. Where do you think they possibly land?

I can see him going to New Japan. Look at this. Look this. Yeah, look at a shirt. Are you in on the work? Are you in on the work? Tell the truth. No, I really, I really don't.

I reached out to him. I told him, I said, look, man, they don't get it. They don't get it. I haven't gotten in response yet. And he responded to me last week. So I don't know. Who knows? I don't know what it is.

But I think the guy is tremendously talented. I think he's, I'm trying to, I'm trying to have him come in. We both agree that when he comes in and do the show, we want to do it in person. So I don't want to do it. Virtual. I think, I think it's real. Yeah. It's real.

They got let go. Yeah. Okay. You don't, you think, you think it's another, they just did this with our truth. They think they're going to do it again. They did it. They pissed that away. And they did it with Seth, right, the injury and all of that.

So it could be. With our truth, I think it was absolutely they got Prudson signing him back. I think, yeah, I think they really did let him go. And then they got questions on it. Do you think this is the work? I think this is a work. Yes.

The fact that they're not responding to anybody, I think it's a work. Yeah, I mean, No Lester goes out there and goes like, book me, please. Nobody does that. Is that what he said? Yeah, they posted, he posted from his personal account. I haven't heard. I can, I can, I'm being completely honest.

I haven't spoken to him about it. I don't know. He changed it to his real name and said, to respond to me for bookings, go to this email. His wife did the same thing, yeah. Yeah, exactly. P.T. Germant.

Weapons had great marketing. True. And I need to see a mystery movie opening weekend double-ed spoilers. Also true. Film was really stuck with me in a good way. Also true. I agree with all three of those things. Absolutely.

Yep. Can't wait to see it. Yeah. I can't wait to see it. Yep. All right. Next one after that. Again, 52 currently.

Hey. Good job. here by rocca starting off the week as he always does strong Sean mccabe the Marvel studio steam song shall hereby known as the Cheatel champ yeah I got a I get if I can if I can play um I'll see if I can play it for the audience because it's it's really stupid um yeah I've got it okay I'll hear it I'll share it with you guys this is so this was from this was from the um the live show that we did it was a lot of fun and here it's right I want to take down Sean?

That was it. It was fine. It was a good time. Props to Sam's kids who took that video. Oh, nice. Yes, so the Marvel theme song will be the Cheeto Chan. Liddle-de-l-l-l-l-do. Okay, let's see again. So that's 53 now. All right.

And coming in next is Mr. or Mrs. stalling for time, stalling for time. I'm waiting. I'm looking. The next one. A big, big gap here, John. So I'm going to put it in 53 right now. Oh, wow. That's a big one. Hold on this. Like, that's what she said.

Okay, Stephen, there is no way I'm paying $30 to watch PLEs. I'm telling you, I don't think that I'm the only person. Clearly, Stephen feels the same way. Are you going to do it? You already have it. So you already have it. So as long as that stays true, then I'm keeping it. Would you? If you didn't have it, would you pay it?

No. Hell no. Right. Yeah. It's too much. Michael McKenzie, hey, I just finished the new King of the Hill. I really liked it. I'll tell you what. Did you guys like it or do you want Judge on different projects? I didn't even know there was a new King of the Hell, to be honest with it.

It was never really my thing. It was never really my thing. But that's not saying anything against it. I just never watched it. Yeah, no, I never watched King of the Hill. Lady Outlaw, I grew up with King of the Hill in Virginia. So I never, I need to watch an animated format. But Lady Outlaw is a big fan of King of the Hill.

So she was excited. It's back. She hasn't watched it yet, but I'll let you know. The WBE, though, I was looking at some of these comments here, but like, WVE really is trying to do everything they can, like they're make money. They're taking it out of, they're supposed to be in New Orleans for WrestleMania,

and now they're going back to Vegas to make money there. It's like, they're talking about two WrestleMania's now, a year. They're talking about one in Saudi Arabia. What? Yeah, one in Saudi Arabia and one here in the States.

That's, you're doing the Marvel thing. Too much. Exactly. Too much. Missing score for the word. Do you think W.D. is playing around too much with story and reality.

The Seth injury angle is cool, but they can't do it again, in my opinion. I mean, they could do it again. I know, and I don't. I really wish that they would go back to more reality in the story or stuff. I loved how they did that. I thought it was great. I don't pay much attention to it as John does. So I was, I bought when I saw Seth on Rich Eyes and I bought that he was really injured.

So when that happened, that worked for me. He said he was limping backstage the whole time the last few weeks. So do you, what do you think? Do you have any, do you think they're playing around with too much? I tell you this, I don't put anything past the WWE. And I don't put anything past the fans like just swallowing at hook line and sinker. Like, come on, the Lesnar thing, which we haven't even talked about. I think it's abhorrent what they're doing with that.

And so, but they clearly think they can do whatever they want to do. And the fans are going to do it. Fans are going to be behind that. Has you been back since the Somerson? What? Has you been back since Summer. No, but they're they're lining that up with him and see him. I haven't watched in Somerslam, so I don't really know what's going on.

Met Bull, what's up, James? Is carrying cross-issue, or work, it feels like it feels so lame after the unnecessary Seth Rollins' work, if it is. I mean, I don't, if it is a work, I really don't understand why they would do it unless there's a payoff. I mean, let's, it could feel lame and unnecessary if there's no payoff. If he just shows up again out of nowhere and they kind of botch it, like John just said, like the way they did with our truth,

then what would he doing that for? Just give the guy his push that he deserves. That's the problem. I think WWE is damn good at capturing the moments. The problem is their follow-through has been pretty bad the last few years. And so someone was telling me that the other day, like they were telling me like the WW now just wants moments. They don't want storylines.

And like the days of the bloodline storyline are probably over. They want viral moments. And that's what they go for. Sina Eiltern, our truth coming back. But then the way they, like, Cena Hurtain was terrible. Our truth coming back is throwing terrible. It's true.

It's good point. Like, they're not, they're executed. They're only JJ Abrams. They set up real well. They're delivering. Yeah, exactly. Go pal. Robin is off the record on the QT and very hush, hush.

Oh, I see what you did there. I see what you did there. Nice. Apparently there's a, apparently there's a Rambo scoop out there. Yeah. Yeah, Noah Centennial. I don't know enough about that kid.

He's going to play Rambo? A young Rambo. Yeah, John Rambo. Young John Rambo. I don't know about that kid. I can't really say, I could change my mind and say, well,

he was great, but I mean, my first glance, I don't see him. He was in, what was he just in? He was in the, originally he was cast as he man,

but then he was gone after that. But I don't know. Black Adam. Oh, he's going to be in Street Fighter. That's right. Oh, he was in Black Adam,

right. Yeah, and he was kind of goofy in that. I don't know. I don't know if I love that casting. Mark Long, weapons was awesome. Sure was. Really, I was so excited to see what you think, John.

Yeah, you can't wait. Matt Sinister Macal, Best Snyder, weapons sponsored by Campbell's Soup. I see what you did in. I see what she did there. Nathan Drake, was Julia Roberts good in Ocean Film or just okay? She's really, she did, stop it. In the second one, in the second one,

everybody was crapping that one. Everybody was, you're playing themselves and everything, too. It was silly, but she's one of the best. Yep, one of the best. when Damon says, this is the best part of my day, watching her walk down the stairs. I was like, oh my God. Anyway, anyway.

What does she do? And he's right. All right. CJ had a good time streaming the live show on Saturday with Sam, I think it's still available, by the way. Her calling you, her best friend was hella wholesome. Can't wait for her Lord of the Rings reaction. She was a sweetheart.

She was so nervous. And I said, you're going to be great. She's just national, natural timing. She called you her best friend. I mean, how will you know her? Since first grade? Wow. That's amazing.

Yeah. So we had a, we had, yeah, we had, we had some, we had some serious laughs. So it was really good. We were cracking up. We told some, like, told some stories and other things, too. And it was great. It was a good time. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can still see that stream.

It should be available in the link. Missing score, 44. I think we have plot fatigue with Marvel. Too many jokes or deads and post-criticism. boost the overall story. I think that's also potentially true. I think it adds into the soup. Yeah, I think that's, you can make a case that that's an element of it for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Corn Emperor. Love this community. One of the two I love. Thanks. Thanks, corn emperor. Appreciate it. Perfect. Shane Adams, you guys bring good points. The movie theater

experience, just not the same. I used to go every weekend with my dad, but sometimes we'd rather, we'd rather wait for streaming for most things. And plus, annoying teenagers, taking selfies yeah all that stuff yeah yeah that's why i've been delaying seeing weapons because the theaters were so full the screening i'm going to today there's only one person in there okay morning good morning or afternoon that's the way that the real red five just tuned in to the same like lord of the rings you got to watch on friday the people who watch live they know the answer that because we talked about a little bit but um but friday is when it comes out tomorrow is thunderbolts and Friday we start Lord of the Rings.

Yeah. So I hope everybody checks that out. That's going to be there's so much shit she hasn't seen. She hasn't seen most of the Nolan movies too. Sherlock 277. You hear that Warner Brothers stops production on Tom Cruise's movie deeper because Cruz won a $275 million for it. Why does he keep making budget so big? Will he want this kind of budget

for Top Gun 3? Well, he's definitely going to want the budget for Top Gun 3 because he's got the receipts to try to prove that they can make it back. I don't know why an old school guy like Tom Cruise is making movies for so much. Yeah, it's weird. And well, clearly he has a, what do you call it? He has a number that he thinks will make the film as excellent as it can be. But clearly, over these last two Mission Impossible movies, that number has not done well for him.

So you have to kind of take your lumps, pull back a little bit, bit and trust that the filmmakers and the studio could come together on a number that makes sense for them and if you're losing projects because you want too much money and look tom is fine i don't need the he doesn't even know the scent the rest of his life right but you know it can start to look bad if products or projects are being canceled because you're demanding these insane budgets at a time when these insane budgets not leading to massive returns consistently uh jonathan riggas i think gina did win the lawsuit because I've never heard anyone else win a lawsuit against Disney but hey maybe I'm wrong because he didn't win she didn't win I think I think he means settled I didn't

I never heard anyone settled when was the last time I heard did the Disney settled with somebody I don't know but I have to do research I'm sure there's no research at Disney as a second at Senator McCall where's public meltdown you've seen in public I saw some guys screaming about not getting invited to a theme parkers I don't want to say who it was okay it's two people we know Okay. Evil John Madden. Cynthia Rievo is playing Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ are awful. She looks like no fraud. Don't be

don't be me scary. And I'm an atheist, so isn't a religious thing. It just makes no sense. Shot- I could have, but that's the whole point. I can't take you serious because there's the same way we were talking about before, you were in, you threw the insult in there. You've got to start it without throwing the insult in there. And then I can take the thing seriously. Come on, don't, don't go after somebody's

appearance and everything, too. You don't think she's right for the role. You're allowed to say that. And I don't think anybody's allowed to challenge you to say that. But that, you can't do that you can't insult somebody's like that so we can't i think the irony of you tweeting shock for shock sake when you're your your post is actually shock for shock sake is right yeah yeah listen we're all god's creatures and we can all play jesus christ no matter what gender you are no matter what you look like because we're all made in his image we're created from him in my belief and so you're judging another god's creatures for playing him you're actually on the wrong one uh julius why did

sam like lord of the ring so you got to watch on friday why did you want you to tell them You're going to watch on Friday. I'm going to tell you she didn't want to watch it. Eric Collins is the second. Noah Stanton has been cast as Youngtime Rainbow. I'll wait to see what we get. Maybe Stallone thinks he was right for the role. You know, I know Sloan's producing it.

So we'll see. He's attached to Star. Okay. We'll see. Officially said he's cast. It's a big dude too. He's bigger than. A. Rago, saw weapons.

Great movie, but wish this trailer showed less. Trailer's so too much. I couldn't agree. I didn't watch one trailer. Didn't watch one. so I won't do it. Evil John Manon. I love the John Legend version of J.C.

Super Sorry. I'm not there. Saul. Oh, he's a version. Right. I don't know if there was one. Lord Monk. Ever see 61 Yankees? Yeah, I did. Would watch your, I did. I've seen it. Yeah. Old school.

Wasn't that? Was that an ESPN movie, wasn't it? No, it was an HBO movie. Oh, it was HBO. Billy Crystal. Barry Pepper, right? Barry Pepper and, um, Punisher, Thomas Jane. Oh, wow. He was Mantle.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I remember. Haskell, 420. Stop, guys. Here's $5 for my weapons. Fantastic for a, uh, uh,

he goes 10. Oh, here's the $5 for my weapons. Fair enough. Thanks again for Saturday. Deadline. Millennium looks to have its man, no us and 10.

It's started Giant Rainbow. Prequel by C-Soo director, Tamari Hollande. I like that. I'm surprised that Sloan's not directing it. Um, A. Rago,

I saw F1 on screen. format and screen X format where screens are on the side. It's also great experience. Have you seen any movies this way? Do you think it would draw movies, draw more to theaters? I don't know, Johnny. What do you think? Yeah, I saw Dune this way, Dune 2 this way. It was amazing. And Avatar, I saw it like that as well when they reissued when they had the second one out. And so to me, yeah, those are fun. But I think you should always see it the regular way, like either IMAX or regular theater first and then go to the screen X because then you can really appreciate the of what they're trying to show you on the biggest screen available.

Like that's why I want to go to the sphere in Vegas to see a movie there as well. Jeff Howard. We're trying to get 59 right now. 59. Can they pull you forward? We'll see. Jeff Howardton. Hey, John, if you don't like how gun steps out in front of his projects, you must despise

how White does it. I do. I quit the UFC cold because of how Dana White tries to make himself as important as the fighters. Yeah. The standard stuff, though, that's always when it comes to promotion, you know, like, look, John King, yeah, exactly. Christian Harloff and his boxing promotion. It was Christian Harloff, you knew it wasn't the boxers.

So, you know, it's just like how it goes. Because the promoter does a majority of the work, honestly, to put everything together. So the promoter wants to be front and center and people get to know the fights and the people through the promoters. So, yeah, I didn't like it, but that's the way it is. I like, I like the way Dana does things, to be honest. I do. I think that, I think that he is, he is.

as much to credit the success of and there's a reason why what he did the way that his the way that he did it um i don't know i'm okay with it for anyway johnny petriza one piece season two trail looks fantastic i missed it during the weekend so i'm thinking i'm going to skip it um because i'm going to do a reaction to the whole series once it comes out you didn't watch that yet have you john the show okay got um uh josh vascovich do you sense a surge original movie as being successful. I mean, that was the question earlier, and I'm hoping, but the question is, because the argument, not argument, but the main question that I had and would have, if somebody was asking me that, horror usually always does pretty good in the original

takes because of the budget and everything else too. So, okay, we had another big horror thriller that did well, it seems par for the course. And then, well, what about Freakier Friday? Classic nostalgic IP. So I got to to see somebody else do that, that not in that genre. Let me, let me see, like if, and naked guns and IP, but like, if I, like, if you put like a new comedy out there and that crushes, then I say maybe, because that's, that, that, that's, nobody's taking that risk. Matt Krugman sold on those live shows.

If you do another one, I'm 100% flying out to New York. I still never been. Perfect excuse to finally go. That and trying crispy pizza. And the crispy pizza now with Cody Rhodes promoting that. You see that? Yeah. He was like doing he was like serving people pizza and stuff.

Yeah, I don't know if we're going to do another one. I'm not sure. We got to, we got to see. We should do one with Merle. Yeah, no, that'd be fun. We should do one. Come on. Let's do a Kickstarter.

They can pay for all our flights, all our hotels. I don't know. Yeah, dude, I'm running this Kickstarter for the pilot. I got to do that. Okay. Yeah. Tim, you and Sam should react to the Hunger Games saga. I don't know if she's seen them.

She might not have, actually. Josh Vascovitz. Also, huge WWE fan, hard to be a, Apologist for them. Seems like it. Yep. Yeah. This hilarious question. Jeff Saginii, hey, but are we getting a part two of Tom Dagnino one-on-one? If I can find them on the golf course. Kingsport Cal, Roca, have you seen 40 acres? Everybody keeps asking this 40-acres question. No, what is 40 acres? Everybody keeps asking about this 40-acres movie. I don't know what it is. Oh, I haven't heard about it. If it ain't spike, I don't know 40 acres. I don't know what is.

Matt Craigman. Roka, I know you're a Transformers guy. Have you checked the series of an image they're doing now darkest deepest transformers content i've come across have you seen oh you mean the comic book yes i keep having this recommended to me so i may be making it does a comic store like literally 10 minutes wait so i may be picking some of that stuff up and i'm not surprised image has always been great i remember buying the first image titles when they first came out so i'm looking forward to it uh shama cape spider man web swing should have been saved for DVD features you mean you're saying oh you show you show the video I don't know, man.

I think this Marvel is so freaking out about everything that they're like, whatever we got to show you to get you back in the theater. This is Sony. Sony's doing this. Well, Sony and Marvel. A. Rago. Why is he too have a big budget?

Can't imagine big CGI shots for a street-level movie. It's most money is going to pay actors. No, it's locations. Yeah. A lot of locations. If you do in L.A., it's a lot of money to do locations. And from what someone told me, because I had to ask that similar question,

and someone's like, told me, based off the book, There's like a ton of locations. Yeah. Oh, all right. Now, sometimes you got to single out when you get like really great questions. And if somebody put you in a place. Okay.

Gosh, that's fart. Thank you. Busy B. Who says, catching the show late, but Hope Roker enjoys weapons. I loved it.

It's going to be my favorite. It might be my favorite movie so far. Ooh. Finally excited of her resident even movie. Yeah, Busy B had told us that she was on her way to see it. But now I'm glad she liked it. All right.

Here's the last one for now. Okay. For now. All right. Possibility that they can get you to that hundred, but we don't know. Paul Hitchcock, people focus too much on Corona's social media posts and not enough about her shit acting. Her range is more limited than my T-Mobile coverage. But that's also a different, but it's a different conversation.

It's a different conversation about, you know, like she wasn't fired because people don't think she was a good actress. Because she was on, she had already done two seasons. So. What? I think it helped. I mean, well, you. You make a point, though. You make a point that if it was Merrill Streep that did that, please.

You're right. Yeah. You make a point that if it was Merrill Streep that did that, they ain't firing her. Well, also, like people have said, and listen, there might be legitimate. I don't know that I fully see, but I can see the point. Yeah, Pedro, people can have to get through Pedro and his comment about, and they were putting children in cages. It wasn't lying. So the comment about that, people are like, well, look, how come he can say that it says a counter?

and they don't fire minutes because Pedro was the lead of the show. You're not going to fire Pedro. Okay, wait. Yes. And as far as business goes, you just proved why she won her lawsuit. Didn't win. Didn't win. Prove why she settled.

Proved why she settled. Go ahead. Because of what you just said, because they weren't going to be able to prove it. Because if they said, well, here's the tweets from Pedro Baskol, who leans left, who said this. What is the difference from what our client said? How do you defend that? Well, I think you can defend it because of the content of the.

tweets, right? He was actually pointing out something that was legitimately happening to people of his actual ethical... A good enough lawyer, but a good enough lawyer he's going to say, well, wait a minute. You can't. Julius Wyatt. College football in 12 days, let's go. Let's go! It's four weeks away, man, let's go!

And then A. Rago says, are you excited for Alien Earth? I'm curious about it. I think John's already seen part one, so... Yeah. Yeah. First episode. Yeah. I'm still looking forward to it. I like the main actress is damn good. Really good. Olive plant as well. All right.

That's it for now. Okay. So 69. Look at that. 69. Hey, oh. So, John, as we see if anybody else wants to keep you on the air, let's get to the plug for your channel.

Don't mess with my self-esteem like that. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us today. If you want to come hang out with the stuff I do on the John Roker channel, please head over there now. YouTube.com slash John Roker says we got the hot mic going on live tonight at five. I spill the tequila tomorrow night, reviews, reactions, all kinds of stuff. stuff geek buddies all of that happening here on the channel head on over there two more um jet stagnini do a shit rat face from roka as outrageous takes no that's that's what i tell people this is my favorite

thing to my favorite is why i see comments it says get rid of john roker it's my favorite i'm gonna get rid of john i'm gonna get rid of john roca no for 23 24 years um this is what i try to tell people every single time there the conversations that he and i have and he even said at the end right we still don't really see eye to eye and the whole thing with Quran and everything too but we had a conversation like human beings and that's what we try to do here you can have the conversation

there's a lot of things that he says that I'm not going to agree with a lot of things that I say he doesn't agree with a lot of things that I said that you don't agree with and a lot of things that he says you don't agree with or vice versa so that is what we're going to do as far as a shit rat face doesn't come out for those types of things sure if he comes out versus Bruce Pritchard you can get this shit rat face

Lauren L. Disney settled their law school with Scarjo. 90% of lawsuits settled. All right. Good point. Additionally, there are no federal laws against firing someone for political beliefs. That's what I'm saying. There's no federal law against it. Against it. I know.

But still, but the thing is you can use examples of people who weren't. And then it's, they didn't have, they didn't have a, I'm telling you, this didn't have a sound argument why they ever. But it was just a settlement. Oh, yeah. Anyway. Polish guy. What's a worst bet for a studio? Casting Carrano or giving Rob Zombie 40 million?

Even Rob Zombie 40 million. Although he swears that he did not give him 40 million for that. You might, yeah, you might be able to protect Carano by limiting the amount of screen time she gets. But with Rob Zombie, you give 40 million. You're effed. You're totally. She was in the fight scene. She was good.

I think that the main lorian knew how to use her. Yeah. Yeah, you got to do it that way. Missing score 44. What's the strangest studio decision you've seen? For me, it was making rush hour and lethal weapon into TV shows. Yeah, I mean, there's also a different time they were doing. They put it on a network television too.

I don't know. I'm going to say for me, what was it I saw? Shoot, I'm sure there's tons of them. I can't. Oh, you know what? I'm going to go with an old school stupid one. Not getting Wesley Snipes back for Major League to. Oh, man.

Does he say he got traded? I love Homer Imps. You're going to have Omar Apps. could have been in the movie as somebody else. Don't pretend that he's Willie Mace Hayes. He's not. It's funny. You go over the casting one.

I also have a casting one and that's replacing Jody Foster with Julianne Moore. I thought that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You absolutely killed the franchise by doing 100%. Yes, you still made some money on the other ones, but like it was never near as magical as it was with silence. Getting rid of her was just or never. True.

She didn't want to, right? She didn't want to, yeah. But, you know, there's always a number, as Teddy Biasi used to say. That's true.
