Happy Monday morning, everybody. Wake up! What's up? What's up? It's John Rocha. The Outlaw, those of the days in the past. I'm here working solo today. Mr. Harlov has himself a screening this morning.

The police have themselves an RV. He has himself a screening this morning. So I am holding on to the horses today and taking this thing around the track for a couple of hours on the Christian Harlov show. I'm excited to be here. There's a lot we're going to get into, like the madness of this Jim Carrey situation, the cloning of Jim Carrey, supposedly.

We're also going to get into some Paramount stuff, get into some box office stuff as well, and some Ryan Gosling Star Wars stuff. So there's a lot. It's definitely a stacked and packed show. I thank you all so much for joining us live. And we're going to have some fun here today. So let's get it going.

We'll get into it right now. All right. Welcome, everybody, to the Christian Harloff show. Happy Monday morning. That's right. Happy Monday morning here. It is 9 a.m. on the West Coast. So I had a bit of a long night of sleep.

So if you hear my voice being a little groggy, a little rattled, that's what's going on there for me today. But I hope it's a voice good enough for you all to stick around and have some fun with this for next couple of hours. We got so much to get into here on the show. And I am, if you missed the opening, I am writing solo because Christian Harlov has himself a screening this morning. I don't remember what movies.

I think he's going to see The Bride or Project Tail Mary, one of the movies, he's going to see this movie or something else that he's going to see this morning. I don't know that's coming out soon. I know I have The Bride tomorrow night and I have Project Hail Mary Wednesday night. So my two nights are stacked for out of theater reactions for both of those movies. I just saw the Elvis movie over the weekend. Elvis Presley in concert and I thought that was exceptional. I'm really surprised. It did out of theater reaction.

It's up to 6,000 views. I didn't think that thing was going to break 1,000. I just thought I do it because I'm a big Elvis fan and it's up there. So I really enjoyed that. If you guys haven't seen that, highly, highly recommended. I did not see Scream 6 yet. I will be going this afternoon at 4 o'clock to go see Scream 6. So we will see, is that what is?

Scream 6? Yeah. No, Scream 7. Sorry, Scream 7. I got confused because Scary Movie 6 trailer came out this morning. My reaction video is up on my channel. On my channel, if you guys haven't seen that. You can watch it after the show if you feel like it.

But yeah, there's so much to talk about here on the show. And remember, super chats are important. We'd love for you to send in the super chats as we go along. All the things that you guys want to talk about would be great to hear from you all. And yeah, send them in. All your questions. We had a, we had a WWE premium live event over the weekend as well. So there's a lot to talk about.

And if my brother, Derek Johnson, is in here, send me in some support, brother. I'd love to start out the week really powerful and put everybody on their heels for the rest of the week. know, was it, I think Winston and Chris won on Friday, but arguably because they had, you know, big stuff to talk about with the merger. So I'm always a bit of a deficit on Monday because not too much stuff breaks over the weekend, but I try to do my best here. So send in your super chats as we go along here on all of this stuff here. So, all right, well, let's get into the first article. Actually, let's talk about the Paramount situation. I actually want to lead with that before we get into the Jim Carrey stuff. I want to have more people.

show up before we get into the Jim Carrey stuff. So let's talk about this Paramount article here. Let's see. This is from CNBC. Thank you to the great Luke for sending this stuff in. So let me take a look at it, make it a little bit bigger here. But Paramount to combine HBO Max. Oh, let me make myself a little bigger.

There we go. Paramount to combine HBO Max and Paramount Plus into one streaming service after the WBD merger. Paramount and HBO Max will be combined in, one streaming service. If regulators approved Paramount Skydance's acquisition of WBD, Paramount CEO, David Ellison said on a conference call Monday, a combined service would have about 200 million subscribers given existing totals. Ellison said during his company's investor call about the WBD transaction, Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery said last week they had struck an agreement to sell WBD for $31 per share after Netflix backed out of the prolonged bidding war.

Let's see, continue reading. Paramount executives didn't offer any details Monday on how the may price a combined service or what it would be called. Still, Ellison said he wouldn't disrupt the HBO brand. HBO should stay HBO, he said, citing its long history of quality programming. HBO is likely to be a sub-brand within the larger service, according to a person familiar with Paramount's plans. HBO is currently run by Casey Blois' contract runs out next year in 2027. Blois declined to comment.

Paramount also touted the strength of its sports offering on a combined service bringing together T&T Sports with CBS Sports. Paramount Executive said they hadn't heard anything from regulators to signal that the breadth of their sports offerings, which would include March Madness, NFL, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, French, Open, the Masters, college football, and more would trigger any antitrust concerns. Well, sure, right now, HBO's streaming journey has been housed in a variety of streaming services of different names in recent years.

Time Warner originally launched HBO as a streaming option 2010. HBO Go. Oh, my God, remember HBO Go. Four years later, HBO also launched HBO Now. I remember HBO now, too, giving users a way to access HBO outside of the cable bundle for the first time. After AT&T acquired Time Warner in 2018, we're naming it Warner Media executive with launched HBO Max in 2020

to add more heft and more subscribe. Three years later after AT&T, they were merged with Discovery, blah, blah, blah, service to Max, and then, of course, it was reversed the last year. So that's some interesting details that we're getting for ourselves here that they are merging HBO Max and Paramount Plus.

I don't know what that means, to be honest with you. That's a lot of content. I think, you know, I'm speaking for, as someone who is a regular watcher of TV and movies, but also a critic, like, that's a lot of stuff to put on one streaming service. It seems overwhelming. I mean, I think a lot of you have had this experience when you go on Netflix and you go, there is too much to watch. I don't even know what I'm going to watch.

I'll just watch something I've watched before. I'll put on a Seinfeld episode, right? Like that that does happen. And I wonder with the marketing of it. at all. Remember HBO Max and HBO. There was like this big separation and argument about, well, HBO Max is this and HBO is this. And it's about quality and brand recognition. Paramount Plus does not have the level of quality of HBO Max. I think there's some good stuff on Paramount Plus. Certainly all the Taylor Sheridan shows. I thought the agency was good, even though it wasn't that

well received. And there have been some other shows on there. But for the most part, Paramount Plus is kind of a step down from HBO Max and Apple and even Netflix, to be honest. honest with you. So this is an interesting thing. This is kind of a glow-up for you to use the terms the kids are using these days for Paramount Plus to get HBO Max. But there's no guarantee that Casey Blois and these other people who were responsible for creating the brand quality that is HBO Max, there's no guarantee they're going to stick around to want to be under a Paramount Plus of leadership. And I don't think you can ignore, as Christian was talking about on Friday, I watched some of the show on Friday, like the political connections and,

and all of this stuff. I know my co-hosts on The KickBuddies, Michael Vogel said, well, people don't look at who people voted for before they work for them. That's fair. I think that's totally fair. Some people do. I think some people don't. But the idea that they're going to push certain.

Creatively, I think this is the concern. Are they going to push certain narratives? And then you've got to create content that fits that narrative. That's the concern there. I think HBO has a history of creating shows that kind of attack certain things or explore certain aspects of our society that are really fantastic to look at under the auspices of something like Sopranos

or The Wire or Game of Thrones, or House of the Dragon, or Nine of the Seven Kings we saw recently. So it's an interesting approach. And with Paramount Plus, when you remove the Taylor Sheridan shows, there's not much else underneath, is there? In terms of original quality content, like if we took a look at a paramount plus let me take a look at this stuff because i want to make sure i'm

speaking from a place of of information sometimes i forget all the shows that are on the different streaming services uh best shows or original shows let me says original shows on paramount plus because i do i do have paramount plus i watch or i guess Tulsa king that's very much in the in the uh david ellison approach to things uh the star trek stuff like that you Will we get a higher level Star Trek with Casey and Goldstein coming in, but also having HBO Max connected to it? Will these creative people like cross over? I know he says he wants to keep HBO, HBO.

That doesn't mean he's not going to be able to use people to cross over, to cross-pollinate, to chime in on stuff. Let's see what a school spirits, I guess. Mayor of Kingston, that's a pretty good series. But I think that's Taylor Sharon as well. but yeah there's not a much i mean when you get past the original drama right tony and ziva didn't do well evil a lot of people seem to like evil i know there's a lot of people who are fans of evil uh happy face didn't do well i do love calling from accounts great comedy there but you know rabbit hole what else uh strange

angel i even know what that is then there's the sexy beast stuff of course and uh the i think the the gentleman i think they did a thing of that as well but yeah I mean, this is an interesting thing when you look at some of the original content from Paramount Plus. It does not have the quality of HBO once you remove Taylor Sheridan. So is it going to get to that situation? That's going to be interesting. And then what is the price going to be, of course, for both of those, both of the combined streaming service?

And wasn't one of the complaints that they had, Netflix was going to have too many subscribers, and now you're going to have the combo? and of course there'll be crossover. Like, you know, be crossover subscribers like me, people who have HBO Max and Paramount Plus will be part of the crossover stuff. But, you know, what's the footprint going to be and what's the quality going to be?

Does David Ellison go to Casey Blois and go, I want you to be in charge of everything, both HBO and Paramount Plus. But it is a, but you're combining brands, right? WBD on HBO Max is always confused. The discovery shit on HBO Max, I've never understood it. I hated it.

I didn't. I like the TCM stuff. I like the DC stuff on HBO Max. But why would I go to HBO Max for Fix It and Howl's stuff while I'm also going to watch Game of Thrones? Like it just is a confusing thing. So I think it's going to be interesting to see how they put that all together. I do think he's saying all the things you need to say about keeping HBO, HBO, all of that. The sports stuff, that is, I know we don't want to get too much in the sports because a lot of you don't watch sports who watch the show.

But there is, I mean, that's a lot of things that they would be in charge of. And I can't imagine that there wouldn't be some other companies sliding to try to steal some of those rights, including Netflix. I mean, the irony would be that Netflix uses the $2.8 billion that Paramount just paid them and slides on over there and gets the rights to either the NFL or MLB or NASCAR or college football even and takes it away from Paramount Plus. That could be interesting to see the irony of them essentially funding their own removal of sports rights. of some of the sports leagues from their own streaming service. I don't know. We'll see. And again, as I said this on the hot mic on Friday when Jeff and I were talking about this, David Ellison does not have a track record of being able to run this much stuff.

Like this is a lot. When you look at the studios and the TV, you look at the merging of these two massive conglomerates, it is a lot of a headache. And according to them or according to the analysts, they're going to what, I have to cut 6% or something like that of the workforce, or six, they have to find $6 billion, I think, in cuts. And Netflix is claiming they need to find $16 billion in cuts

because they're taking on like $100 million in debt. That is thousands of jobs being lost. So this idea that you're going to be able to combine these two streaming services and then supposedly put out 30 movies a year. And of course, they'll be split through between the two studios with WB and, a paramount, but that is a lot to ask of a workforce that you've suddenly reduced. So I don't know, man, this feels like more of a headache than you would normally want for a

situation like this. So it's a lot, man. What do you all think? Do you want to see these things combined? Do you want to see the situation here with both of those studios coming? Do you think that this is the right move because they're taking on $111, a billion, a billion dollars of debt as well. That is a lot of debt to carry and the pressure. And what if the first things out the gate aren't good? Like that's going to mount the pressure even more with all of this. And once and if these, if, and to go on the political route, if these midterms happen and the, and I say if, and I mean that, if the Democrats end up getting control of the House,

you know Chris Murphy, the senator over there in Vermont. Is it in Vermont or Connecticut? Connecticut. He's already come out and said that he is going to put a kabash on this stuff. So all the plans that they have in motion may be in trouble as well as new people come in charge in our country. So it's going to be, it seems like a lot. It seems like a lot of stuff.

And I get it. I know. Look, I'm one of those people who said they want to control CNN. because they want to push their narratives. I totally understand that. But if you remove the CNN aspect of it all, it's still a massive headache that adding himself up for with both of these studios coming together.

Will he find or have the right people there to be able to handle this transition and create a unique brand, a unique voice that people are going to want to gravitate to, that people are going to want to trust, that people are going to want to come to and watch the content from. That's the thing. When you combine these two, are you going to have your own brand that speaks with a certain voice?

As you all know this, branding is super important. You know exactly what you get when something says HBO or HBO Max. You know exactly what to expect with something since Paramount Plus. But you do not know what to expect when something says Paramount HBO. You don't know what to expect. Paramount Plus HBO Max. what do we expect there? So I think that's going to be interesting as well.

So it is crazy to see what is going to go on there overall. So we will see. We will see for sure. Well, let me know what you think about it. Where are you at on it right now? Send in your super chats. What is your prognostications? What is your predictions?

What do you want to see here? Do you think this is going to go down? Do you think this is going to get regulatory approval? Do you think we're going to see massive changes? Do you think that there's, saying all the right things now on the creative side of things, but do you think this is all nonsense and bull crap and they're going to change their minds down the road? What do you anticipate is going to happen here? Because it's one thing to get, what do they say in life? Be careful what

you wish for? Or if you're going for something, be sure you understand what you're getting because the chase is a lot of fun. But once you get the thing that you want, are you going to be able to handle it. Are you going to be able to deal with getting the thing that you've got? It's like anything else in life. Striving to get to the top is part of the journey. It's a lot of effort. Staying at the top takes way more effort. And so getting WB, it took them 10 bids to get WB. Now that they have WB, are they going to be able to maintain it? And how many people at WB are not going to want to work for David Ellison because of the political connections or myriad of other reasons.

Maybe they're upset and don't trust that Paramount's going to do right by WB. Will a lot of these people who are incredibly intelligent, seasoned, experienced veterans of TV and film where they want to stay on and help Paramount Plus slash Warner Brothers move to the next level or achieve something new

in the landscape. Because if you do the study on all these mergers, it is not a good track record, these mergers, especially when Warner Brothers is involved. It's kind of interesting. I wonder about this a bit of a poisoned apple when it gets merged. It is not always led to, it is rarely led to good results overall. The quality of the content seems to maintain its quality through these transitions, but the mergers themselves rarely yield

positive results for the companies overall. So we will see. We will see on all this, how this is going to happen and when it goes down. And what will they change? But what will they change to the whole situation here going forward. So, all right. Well, there you go. That's my thoughts on that. Let me know what you think about it. I want to hear from you all.

Send in your super chats. Let me know what you think about this whole merger and what your feelings are on all of this and where you think it's going. And we talked about one last thing here before we go to the commercial. What is the James gun aspect of it all? What do you guys think is going to happen here? Because I saw Zach Snyder, of course, talking on Josh Harrow. Horowitz is happy, Zach, confused podcast.

Really good interview with Zach. I love Zach. He says, he's a great interview. He had a lot of positive things to say about his experience working in comic movies and working in other movies. But, I mean, he said he's open to that Justice League too. I would, if I'm in charge of Paramount WB, I don't know if I don't explore that.

I don't know if I don't go. Well, we can do an animated version and have some fun with that if he really wants to go with that. Do, do, I mean, do you, are you concerned that you might offend James Gunn? or upset James gone or confuse the public that you've got Zach Snyder doing something over here, but you got James Gunn doing something over here? Do they bring in another creative? Is this like a football team where you go, well, I don't know if I trust the head coach quite as much?

Let me bring in an assistant head coach who essentially will look over the shoulder of the head coach. Is that how they're going to do things? I know a lot of people are like, no, they're going to leave D.C. alone. Why would you mess with D.C.? Let me tell you something, man. normal people, we have logical thoughts of these things, and we say, oh, why are you doing this? Right? Don't do that.

People at the top have these aspirations. It's one of the reasons why they get to the top. But sometimes that ego, the ambition, the desire to change things, the desire to have their fingerprints on the thing so that they get the credit for it overwhelms them. and they make some moves that undercut the things that were great when they got them. So I don't know. We're going to see. That's going to be interesting. What do you guys think about all of this?

Let me know what you anticipate will happen with Paramount Warburgers in D.C. James Gunn and Snyder. Like, how long is the rope on James Gun under the David Ellison leadership? And is James going to – people have been saying, like, is he going to fire James Gun? Is James going to want to stay? That's the real question. Does James Gunn actually want to stay considering what's going on here, considering Ellison's connections, considering where he's at politically and where they're at politically, is that even going to be a factor for James Gunn? I don't know. So to me, my belief is if they come in and start interfering with this stuff and start messing with this stuff, then I think there's going to be some battles there. And as I've said before, you know, I have called out James Gunn on his ego, but I don't think it's a, a, a crazy thing to say that James Gunn has right. If the company and start telling him what to do with where he's going,

I don't know that James is the kind of guy that will sit and take that. So that's the question too. Will James want to leave in the end? So let us know there. Let me know. Send in your super chats and let me know on all of them. We'd love to get to 75 super chats. You know, Christian and I'd like to get to 100 where together.

There's no Christian today. So I'm shooting for 75. we're at 12 right now or 20 minutes into the show. I'd love for you all to send in your superjet, send in your support, sending your love here as we go along in the show. All right, well, let's do a little

promotion here, a little commercial action, and then after that we'll be back to talk about the Jim Carrey story, which a lot of people are talking about, and the box office and the actor awards that were last night. We'll be right back right after this. There you go. Tell them that Christian sent you. Roogiette.com.

Get some discounts. and get something you need in life. You know, listen, we're open and we're talking about all these things that are going on in our lives. There's a good time. It's a good time. As crazy as our world is,

it's a good time that we are much more open as a society to talk about things that are going on with us physically. And Ruggiat can help you deal with those things. So please explore that, take a look at that, see if it works for you. It might lead you to some happiness. So take a chance on that stuff,

if you feel like it, and get some money off of it using the discount code for sure. By the way, quick programming note for me. We'll just lock this down. As I said, sorry, guys. My throat's a little weird today.

Jeff Snyder and I will be doing a special episode of the hot mic tonight at 7 p.m. Pt. Live on my channel, 7 p.m. p.t. live on my channel, the John Roka channel, YouTube.com slash John Roka says Jeff and I are just going back and forth on it. He's going to break some, well, we're going to talk about some news today. Sorry, we're going to talk about some news tonight. We're also going to do our spoiler review of Scream 7. I'm going to see it this afternoon, and I'm going to come right back and do the show with Jeff. So we'll do a special little Monday show that we're doing.

There's a lot for us to talk about. We'll dive even deeper into the Paramount WB stuff. But there's also a couple of the stories that have popped up over the weekend that I want to get Jeff's thoughts on as well. So 7 p.m. PT, put it on your counters. I will create the show a little bit later on after I'm done hosting this show today. But this is the focus right now. This is the focus right now is the Christian Harlov Show. I am on it.

and the other focus. Karen, Karen, Karen is cracking me up. Karen, a lot of strong comments about Scream 7, Karen. Karen. All right, so let's get into the Jim Carrey story here. Strap in, everybody. Strap in, everybody. This is going to be a lot of fun.

So, oh, wait, that's not the one I want to share first. Let's share the Cosmopolitan right up on this, which is what Luke sent me on this. Is that right? Yeah, here we go. So let's go through. This is from Leah Mapora published today this morning. A lot of people are talking about this.

There we go. A little bit bigger. All right. Let's make this even. All right. Over the weekend. Let's get out of this video. The chandeliers at Leompia glittered like a thousand watchful eyes

as the crowd gathered for the 51st Cesar film awards. Cameras flashed. Stylus fluttered. And then Jim Carrier Ron. or did he? The actor stepped on to the red carpet with an easy confidence in that familiar animated grin.

He waved to photographers, paused for a few playful expressions, and gave a small bow that felt distinctly on brand. The crowd reacted instantly, and of course, social media lit up within minutes. But with speculation already swirling about subtle changes in his appearance over the past few years,

the excitement quickly shifted into scrutiny. Fans were playing clips and questioning whether what they were seeing was really him at all. And there's a picture of Jim Carrey at the Caesar film or what we think is Jim Carrey. And then came the post that sent fans into an absolute meltdown.

Special effects makeup artist Alexis Stone shared a picture of Jim from the night with a caption that reads, Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris. It's not an explicit confession that he dressed up as Jim using prosthetics, but given that his entire brand revolves around transformative makeovers

and that he has previously appeared disguised as other major celebrities, that's what everyone is assuming. Well, not everyone. Meanwhile, Jim Carrey himself has not addressed the situation. Here's the pictures from Alexa Stone. If we're looking at it together, I want to make sure you guys see this.

Actually, we should minimize me a little bit so you guys can see that even bigger. Here are the look at these shots. This is supposedly Alexis Stone. And then he posts this, this picture here with the teeth and all of that. Is he messing with people? I don't know.

under Alexis's post, thousands have been debating, dissecting, and celebrating the sheer audacity of it. I can't handle more stress right now. I need to know if this is real. Megan Fox wrote. I wonder if that's the real Megan Fox who wrote that while others agreed. And of course, Megan Fox and, you know, no intellectual dynamo there. So she could have been fooled by this stuff. And here are the opinions.

This looks way too good to be true. Bro, what? No way. Prove it, friend. That's the craziest thing ever done. Wow. Will the real Jim Carrey please stand up? I know it.

Jim was trolling us with his incredible acting skills and wearing prosthetics. I don't think that Alex was impersonating. It's just him in makeup. Ooh, interesting. It could be Jim Carrey in makeup as himself, which is really weird. Currently, this is all just sheer internet speculation. It's unclear whether the actor is, quote, in on the internet hoax or whether Alexis is trolling everyone of his own accord.

Was it the performance prank of the year, or are we all being expertly played? And Alexis went on to post more photos there on Instagram of what they would use, he would use makeup-wise. Right now it's uncertain, but we like, but we, like the rest of the internet, will be waiting for answers. And here's some examples of what Alexis is done as a makeup artist. There's him as Jennifer Coolidge.

There's him as Jessica Lang. There's him as Glenn Close. But I mean, you can distinctly tell that's not 100% Glenn Close or not 100% Jessica Lang or not 100% Jennifer Coolidge. Because he has these kind of cheekbones and the jaw line. The jaw line really gives it away on a lot. lot of these. In response to the rumors, Gregory Goyer, the general delegate of the Cesar Awards, told variety it was a, quote, non-issue, insisting the visit had been planned since this summer

from the outset. Carrie was extremely touched by the Academy's invitation, eight months of ongoing constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words. He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson, and 12 close friends and family members, his longtime publicist, his company him, his old friend Michelle Gondry, of course, the director of Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind, who has made a film in two series with him was there and they were delighted to see each other again. So, y'all, what are your thoughts on this? Is this madness? Is this Jim Carrey? As someone pointed out, Mr. Nerd Phonatic, you're right, I swear if Andy Kaufman, where are we at, I swear if Andy Kaufman, I swear if he, Andy Kaufman

us right now, I'll call him the go. Yeah, I mean, the Tony Clifton stuff. For those of you who've seen Man on the Moon or know about the Andy Kaufman story, you know that he would impersonate Tony Clifton, but was it him? Was it not him? What was his partner? His friend in the movie played on Paul Giamatti, who was a comedic guy who wrote with Andy Kaufman all the time. He sometimes played Tony Clifton and then Andy Kaufman would show up to mess with the audience. So because people thought it was, sometimes it was Andy Kaufman as Tony Clifton. So it was a real kind of mind fuck on all of this. But I really would be surprised if Jim Carrey did this. Without

the consent of the Cesar Awards. And the fact that the guy who is saying that they spoke with Jim for eight months, I think is really interesting to negotiate someone appearing for eight months to your show. That's a fascinating thing. But, you know, Jim Carrey's an interesting cat. Jim does stuff on his own.

Jim really walks out there on his own accord and has fun with it. The question becomes, like, is he enjoying this reaction, the social media reaction? Jim Carrey not someone who's on social media from what I understand in numerous interviews I've seen him do so how much is his team aware that this is going on and what why would Alexis say this

unless there is a fun little game they're all playing with it so it's fascinating to think about this stuff and is it real a lot of people have been on TikTok like looking at the eye color Jim was being way too expressive and way too how can I way too playful he's not really

that playful at these award shows. He's not asked. So there was a lot of people having questions about all of this stuff that I thought was really funny to see. Variety did a write-up on this as well. You know, you know it's a story. Variety is writing on this. So Jim Carrey said Jim

Cesar Awards say Jim Carrey worked on his speech in French for months amid the clone controversy here. This is an exclusive from Elsa Kislasi. I'm saying that right. Elsa, I don't mean to offend your your uh your uh your name there uh he says if anything the swirling impersonation

rumor surrounded jim carrie's honorary appearance of the stasar awards may be a testament to the enduring cult status of his wild performances in films like crewman show and the mask despite the fact that carrie attended the february testimony surrounded by his family and made a deeply personal teary eyed speech he did i don't know if you guys have seen the speech it was really beautiful clone conspiracy theories gained momentum after drag artist alexus stone posted on instagram suggesting he had impersonated care at the event, sharing images of prosthetics and a wig resembling the actors looked that night. But Gregory Collier, of course, the general delegate that says the actors were appearances in ceremonies

where he received De Honorary Cesar or succeeding Jula Roberts is authentic and a historic moment. Coillier called out the Atlantic Rumors as a non-issue, which you read about it already. He said Jim Carers-Vitt has been planned since the summer. All of this, he said this already, so we cover that. For me, it's a non-issue. I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance. Carey's efforts to deliver his heartfelt speech in French struck a court as he brought the crem de la creme of French cinema under their feet.

He even traced his ancestral roots back to France, revealing that about 300 years ago, my great, great, great, great, great grandfather, Mark Francois Carre was born in France and San Marlowe before emigrating to Canada. He also paid tribute to his father, Percy Joseph Carey, whom he called, quote, the funniest man I've ever known who taught me the value of love, generosity, and laughter. Many French stars paid tribute to Carrie throughout the ceremony, starting with the host Benjamin Leverne, who put on a high-powered musical show, spoofing the mask and impersonated carry while dressed in the character's iconic yellow suit.

So, yeah, fascinating stuff to consider. My friends are, my Hollywood friends are very adamant that this is a ridiculous controversy that this was absolutely Jim Carrey and that people are stupid to believe that it is not Jim Carrey who attended that event. I myself, I'm just like in the middle of all of it. Like I create space that it could be that Jim sent in a personator. It could be that Alexis Stone was there. But when you watch that speech, it's very much Jim Carrey.

So what could have happened is like Alexis Stone was Jim, was Jim Carrey on the red carpet, but Jim Carrey was at the show and did the speech and all of that. Because I do think it would be a bit of an offensive thing if the Caesar Awards weren't in on this for to get, to get Jim Carrey to come in and then he sends in a fake person to play or dress up to dress up as him to accept the awards and deliver the speech. But I will say this. Award shows are going the way of stunt queens and we saw that recently with the Bafters and their bullshit decision to put a mic near John Davidson, the gentleman who has Tourette's,

and cause people to be talking about it for a week after the. the BAFTAs had happened. And look, nobody pays attention to the Baptist that much. No offense to the Baptist. I think they're a great organization in terms of recognizing a lot of British films that don't get a lot of recognition here in the States for the Oscars and other awards shows.

So the BAFTAs are great for highlighting the fantastic British content, the UK content that's there at other international stuff that can qualify for their awards. But this is a black eye on them, putting that mic so close to a gentleman who has to they know he has Tourette's. He had, according to John Davidson's interview in variety with Clayton Davis, he had spoke to them and told them, like, I'm going to be here 40 rows away. So I'm not going to be heard by the people. I will have ticks.

I get nervous. And he even said that he was confused and perplexed that the Baftas or the BBC put a mic close to him. And it almost seems like they were setting him up to make comments so that they could be in the news cycle. And it worked. You could argue that it worked because people were raging about it all week.

Sadly, there were battles of, you know, there's some racist comments, some ablest comments that were sadly part of the dialogue. God, I'm spit like crazy. Sorry about that. And then you get the situation with, with SNL making fun of it on Saturday night, which I thought was, you know,

a funny way of sending up these people who have said some pretty stupid and offensive shit. But I, but the National Trestes are, I think that's what they're called, came out this morning and said they did not like that sketch. So it caused drama. So would I think that an award show would create some kind of drama or be part of some kind of drama to make it a viral thing or a social media thing? I would have to say I don't. I would have to say I don't put it past any award show aside for maybe the Oscars to do this kind of thing to get attention for themselves.

because we've seen over the last few years, people have not liked award shows. They haven't been a fan of award shows. There's been drama around award shows in terms of the ratings. They've tried to change award shows to try to get to become more cool and hip and get the kids in there to watch their stuff.

We've seen all of that. So I wouldn't put it past them to now be engaging in stunt queen tactics to try to get people to watch their stuff even more. So it's an interesting situation, an interesting situation with all of it. Sorry, Jaylen.

Broca's got me in this flash. Sorry, sorry. I know. My mouth's a little dry. I apologize. When I host a show by myself, you know, to talk this long, eventually you're going to have some water build up.

So be thankful. I'm not Gallagher. It's not a watermelon. There's a reference. All right. So anyway, that's the situation there with the Jim Carrey stuff. What do you guys think about this?

Do you believe this? Do you think it was Sasha Stone? sorry, Alexis Stone in the, Sasha Stone, Jesus, what I call out that is? Do you think it was Alexis Stone, like doing the makeup and being Jim Carrey or was it Jim Carrey? Do you think they played, like one was Jim Carrey on the red carpet of Jim Carrey was actually at the award show, accepting the awards delivering a speech? Or do you think this is all just ridiculously stupid and people falling for this dumb shit?

But, I mean, for Alexis to do this on his Instagram, I think is an interesting thing and situation for to consider with all of this. And Jim's people not coming out and saying anything, I think is an interesting situation as well. So will he at some point come out and say something there. So we will see. We will see. All right.

Let's see what else we want to move into that we have. Oh, let's move over to the box office. Let's talk about the box office. Well, actually, let's stay with award shows. We talked about the award shows. So let's hit the award shows first. Let's talk about the actor awards last night. For those of you who may have caught it,

I almost did a live watch-along last night, but I didn't get done with my description and thumbnail in time, and I just thought, well, maybe it's not worth doing a watch-along, but I now regret that because there was a lot that happened last night that was amazing to watch. So, first, let's do a little recap here from Dark Horizons. Sinners won the top honor of best performance by an ensemble at tonight's 32nd annual Act awards,

previously known as the SAG Awards. The film star Michael B. Jordan also worked away with the Best Actor. Other winners on the night, including Jess and Buckley, no surprise, taking Best Actress. Sean Penn, taking Best Supporting Actor and Amy Madigan winning Best Supporting Actors. By the way, I co-signed all three of those victories. Those are the people that should win, in my opinion, including at the Oscars. On the TV front, the Pitt won for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.

No Surprise. No Surprise. No Wiley won Best Actor, no surprise. While Carrie Russell won Best Actress in a Drama Series for The Diplomat. I was surprised by that. I got to be honest with you. I thought Ria Seahorn was going to win that for Pluribus. I don't watch the diplomat, so I can't say that, you know, Carrie Russell did a worse performance.

I just felt like what Ria did was pretty amazing. And so I'm surprised that the SAG Awards did not award her. But then again, Carrie's been around for a really long time, carrying multiple series, and there's a lot of love for her. A lot of people love the diplomat. So I'm not, I'm surprised she won, but I also,

I'm not surprised that the SAG Awards, the actors have been there for such a long time, awarded someone who's been around for a while and also appreciated her performance or work. And maybe as Pluribus goes along, Ria will win a couple more awards, you know. But I don't know how many awards the Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul crew,

has won at the Actor Awards slash SAG Award. So maybe this is just part of the general feeling about Gilligan stuff. The studio won for Best Ensemble to Comedy Series of Seth Rogen and Lake Catherine O'Hara, taking the best actor, actress honors in that category. Yeah, I thought that was a beautiful speech by Seth Rogan accepting the award for Catherine O'Hara. I had a feeling that when she passed, she was going to win.

I don't know when the vote happened. I don't know if the votes happened after she passed or before she passed. But, you know, when people die, most of the time they win the awards they're nominated for. And I think, I don't know. I thought she was great in the studio. I don't know if she was the best. support, best actress in that category necessarily.

But that being said, I'm not going to be upset the Catherine O'Hara won. She's an incredible actress and she was great on that series. And Seth delivered a really beautiful, heartfelt speech honoring her and honoring the love people had for Catherine Nehara all those years. So I got no issues with that.

On the limited series front, Michelle Williams won best actors for dying for sex, while Owen Cooper won best actor for adolescents. I thought Stephen Graham was going to take that award over Owen Cooper, but clearly people were moved by what young Owen Cooper did in that series. I thought Doherty had a shot to win that award over Michelle Williams, but in the end, they went Michelle Williams, and of course, Michelle, also a veteran and damn good actress. If you guys haven't seen the Fossy Verdon series with her and Sam Rockwell, I highly,

highly recommend you all watch that series. They're incredible together. Winners for Best Out stunt Ensemble are also announced with Mission Impossible, the final recant, taking the film. F1. I was surprised by that. While The Last of Us took television over Andor, I was surprised by that as well. Woody Harrelson presented a lifetime achievement award to Harrison Ford. If you guys haven't watched that speech, oh my God. What a speech by Harrison Ford. Kristen Bell hosted the ceremony, which took place the Shrine Auditorium in L.A.

and was screened on Netflix. Yeah, I was surprised by the best stunt on. I was surprised F1 didn't win. And I was surprised the Last of Us won. I thought for sure Andor was going to win for the stunt stuff. but you know people like Star Wars shit I don't think a lot of people watch that stuff so that's the situation there

so we'll see I mean so I what do we do with the sinner stuff I think a lot of people are now starting to come around the possibility sinners might win more stuff they're starting to come around on the Oscars thing like I think as as sinners picks up steam and one bad laughter another seems to be losing a little bit of steam even though it's winning at the producer gills or winning these other DGA like but at the at the at these other bigger award shows that are much more diverse there in terms of the people that can vote for it,

I think you're finding that Sinners is getting some love. So by the time on Oscar night, don't be surprised that Sinners pulls a moonlit mile where it wins over what people expect to win, which in that year was La La Land. and then this year is one battle after another. Sinners could be coming on as a dark horse here. Michael B. Jordan could be coming on as a dark horse here. I think Salome, sadly, is not doing himself any favors with his overt belief in himself. I love it.

I like it. I don't think it has anything to do with his performance. His performance is amazing and should, I think it's the best performance of the year. But clearly, the Michael B. Jordan Sinners train is chugging along here. And if you watched, I posted that or retweeted the speech that Delroy Lindo had for sinners. And that was amazing. That was a beautiful speech that he delivered as well. So yeah, so I'm surprised that Andor didn't win.

Some of you see, I see some of you commenting on, I'm surprised Andor didn't win for best stunts. I think Last of Us was good, but I, you know, I just think Andor was pulling off way more stunts than the last of us in the end, you know. So we'll see with all of that stuff. But we'll see. But Jesse Buckley is Carrant says Jesse Buckley is a lock for sure. I agree.

Jesse Buckley is absolutely a lock to win. win best actress. A lot of people love her work. A lot of people are into it. So, Captain Peters says Shalame is the white horse. Yeah, he is the white horse. Oh, anyway. So yeah, so we'll see with all of that and what goes down. If these awards mean, if these winners mean anything. I mean the, I can't remember, I think was Landon Johnson, one of my friends over there who's a critic who posted, I think he posted, or maybe it was some of them in a variety posted that the SAG voting body, I think is the largest voting body in the Oscars.

So this might be an indicator of where these awards are going overall. So we will see. We will see. All right, let's move on to, as I was talking about the box office, let's jump into the box office. Where is that story? I know I had it here. All right, let me pull it up.

I guess I didn't have it pulled up. Whereas here we go. All right, let's take a look at the box office. Let's move on to that. There are no more ads in the show. This was the only ad we were supposed to post during the show. So Ruggiette. So let's move on to the box office thing.

Scream 7. Let's make a little bit bigger again. Scream 7 here makes a 97. Oh, what the hell is this show? 97.2 million dollars in its global debut. despite the worst reviews of the series and a B-minus cinema score, who, from audiences,

Paramount and Spy Glasses Scream 7 came in atop the box office audience, beating all pre-release expectations. The Neff Campbell-led title pulling a $64.1 million domestic opening and a further $33.1 million overseas opening, overseas rather for a $97.2 million global debut. Around 7.1 million of that global total came from IMAX alone. That's amazing.

Those numbers are way ahead of the 44 million domestic and 60 million worldwide projected totals last week. Domestically, it's also the best horror opening ever for Paramount and the best opening ever for a February horror movie. The film was... Where'd my mouse go? What the hell? Where'd my mouse go? Oh, shit. What's going on here? Sorry, guys, I just lost my mouse.

Let me turn it back. Turn it back off. That's weird. What's that all about? Oh, well. Technical issues, ladies and gentlemen. Did it run out of juice? Yeah, maybe it ran out of juice.

Oh, I don't think I have a backup mouse either, do I? I don't think I have a backup mouse. So that's an issue. So let me see if I can. Oh, there we go. Now it's connected. All right. Cool, cool, cool.

That was weird. It kind of disconnected for a little bit. All right. Sorry, guys. This is technical issues. I don't want to leave it up for too long. This is why I should probably invest in a track pad for moments like this, which I've never actually experienced doing a show.

So I don't know what the issue is here. Okay. Oh, yeah, I'm down to 1%. So that's on me. I should have clearly done some. I don't know how to switch to a window. Oh, here we go. So we can do that.

There we go. The film was created with a final production budget of $45 million, meaning it has more than double bat already, which is amazing, and it should be quite profitable before it leaves, profitable, before it leaves cinemas. Yes, I'm sure. Goat was second domestically, would tell 12 million, only down 29%.

Wow. Followed by Wuthering Heights in third with $7 million down 53%. Woof, that was a terrible movie, dog. Contra Films 21 pilots more than we ever imagined live in Mexico City at 3.7 and the epic Elvis Presley in concert with 3.5 million rounded out the top five with Elvis going up 9% at second weekend. Go see this. I'm telling you, it's an amazing film exploring the behind-the-scenes stuff with Elvis as he created those concerts in Vegas and other things in his life. Worldwide, the Chinese race car movie Pegasus 3 had a big weekend, pulling in 50.3 million worldwide,

bringing its total up to 554.2 million. Wuthering Heights is now up to 192 million. Jesus Christ, up to 192 million globally, and goat is at 130.5 million. So pretty incredible stuff there. Yeah, I don't know how to, I don't know how to shift over to another tab. So, and I can't even see what you guys are commenting right now. Let me see if maybe, I've got enough to, 2%. Is that enough to make it work? Is that enough to make it work? Yes. Okay, cool. We can take that down, stop sharing. Go back to this. Okay, so we can go at least single. There we all right so uh let's see christie said roka is holding the ship down let him let's get him to a hundred to help him win the bonus yeah guys come all get me to a hundred we're at 21 right now 21

superchats would love to get to 100 we can get to 100 would really appreciate that if you guys could do that i'd appreciate that someone said focus on your movie version well it clearly hasn't started it starts at 10 so uh there you go hoppers isn't out yet joseph joseph Joseph asked if Hoppers did okay. Hoppers isn't out yet, bro. It comes out this weekend. I missed my screening over the weekend. I was going to see it on Saturday,

but a lot of things got in the way so I couldn't see it. So I will be seeing it later on this week, probably on Thursday when it drops or Friday when it drops. So I'm going to see that as well. Yeah, but what are your thoughts on the box office? I mean, scream $97.2 million globally. That's pretty amazing what it was able to do, considering the reviews were terrible.

And the cinema score was so bad, but it still made 90 cents. So is this like a one-week wonder where it does this much money and then it craters the next week because of the reviews, because of the reactions to it all? Or is this a film that carries over and makes like $300 or $400 million internationally? It's a really good question. because I wonder, because you look at, let's see, let's take a look at some of these films that are coming up here in the next couple of weeks, as we said, Hoppers,

sorry, it's coming out. This weekend. What else comes out this weekend? Oh, the bride comes out this weekend as well. I don't, I don't know, maybe the bride will dig in. I don't anticipate it'll dig in that much. Heel, the remake of Youngblood is coming out, something called The Protector with Milojovich.

Wolf is coming out. And then next week, There's not much. Undertone, reminders of him, the gates, scared to death. And it isn't until Project Hail Mary on March 20th, which is 18 days away, where there's some really big competition. And ready or not, too, coming out as well.

It might be some horror competition for Scream 7. So, yeah, I mean, right now it seems like they've got a little bit of smooth sailing for the next couple of weeks. I don't think the Hoppers audience crosses over into the Scream 7 audience. So that's the only other film that I see in the next. two weeks, that's really going to be a blockbuster type of film from the prediction. So it could have smooth sailing through this, but a lot of people hated it. But I do want to talk about this controversy with, and this is not on the rundown, so I'm going

a little rogue on this. But I don't know if you guys saw this over the weekend. But Anacamp got into some drama, and I want to talk about it here. So Anna Camp is in Scream 7. She is not in any of the other Scream movies that I saw. But Anna Camp posted this. She reposted a shady tweet using Taylor Swift's karma amid the Scream 7 boycotts. That's Anna Camp there. You guys know her from Pitch Berwick and other films.

But this is what she posted. The boycott didn't work. The critics hate didn't work. The pathetic leaks didn't work. What worked was audiences coming out and making the film. of success, hashtag scream seven. Now, listen, it's an interesting thing to look at a tweet like this and say, okay, what's the point of the tweet here and what she's trying to say?

She's defending her movie. I don't think there's anything wrong with defending your movie and promoting your movie. However, if you're going to repost this and you don't know who this person is that reposted this, that posted this originally, you haven't done your research on who this person is, you can get into danger. And that's what she got into danger. And she's the one that added the Taylor Swift Karma song attached to this Instagram post.

The boycott didn't work. There's something, you know, whatever your feelings are about Melissa Barrera's political stances, she's got a right to speak out of what she believes is going on. And people have a right to be on her side and boycott this movie. the idea to say like the boycott didn't work like that's a terrible thing people have a right to boycott this movie if they feel that burmissabrear was was was was fired from it uncereously or incorrectly people have a right to do that so to kind of low-key passive aggressive shit on it i don't think it was a smart move the critics hate didn't work i think is even more infantile listen anna camp's almost 45 years old a middle-aged act veteran actress for her to say things like the critics hate didn't work that's like some teeny bopper shit to say. Like the critics say, you know, you critics you hated us.

You were trying to sick us on purpose. Come on. The critics gave legitimate reviews on these things. You know, the perception that some people have, the critics go into a movie wanting to hate it. I'm not saying that there aren't some critics. They have their minds made up before they walk in. But a majority of critics do not.

And especially nowadays, a majority of critics want to love everything so that they can get followers and subscribers and fan bases and get jobs working for these other sites. or maybe one day get that six-figure job at working for Penske Media. So this idea that the critics went in to hate the film, I think is stupid and childish for a person of her age to say

and her experience working in the business. And then the pathetic leaks, that I think she's fair to say, or whoever posted this is fair to say. She has come out now and apologized for posting this. I don't know if I can find, I think I hope I can find the Anna Camp apology here. Where is she? Yeah, she deletes the post.

Mocking the thing. I don't know if we can find her. Well, maybe we have to go into the article. Will this take us into the article? Will I have to share the article? Yeah, I'll have to share the article. So I'll stop sharing that article. And I'll share this other article.

Here we go. Yeah, Anticampus has deleted a post celebrating Screen 7's box office. It says despite planned boycotts of the film, the pitch perfect level reshared a post and instant story about received a lot of backlash. The boycott did you all of it. We said that already.

Follow the back, Lash, Camp deleted the post and post expedition on X saying, it has come to my attention that I reposted someone else's story

that does not reflect my personal beliefs. I have since deleted the repost because I absolutely met no harm. I'm sorry to anyone who was affected. Now, let's take a look at that apology, y'all. First of all, the post was in English. So you read,

and you speak English, you understand English. So you read what you were reposted. then you attached Taylor Swift's karma to that Instagram post to that insta post so to say that oh I didn't understand what I was doing I didn't understand what this post come on like own up to your shoe you got called out on your sheet try to be a catty burnberg tween and you got called out own up to it don't say like oh I misunderstood or I didn't know who this person was come on come on come on I think it's a little bit ridiculous so just my my

personal opinion on it. I think it was a little bit ridiculous for her to do that. And to try to backtrack it. Like, I'm sorry to anyone who's, that apology, non-apology. I'm sorry to anyone who was offended. You know, it's that kind of thing. So, yeah, it's the pettiness that blows up in your face, you know. And so I just think it was a bit untoward for her to do that. I mean, I think if Nev Campbell or Courtney Cox had done that, like OG veterans, I don't think anybody would have an issue with it. But someone who just showed up to the franchise five minutes ago, I think it's a bit untoward to be reposting something that is so purposefully combative, purposely divisive, purposely seeking a battle.

I just didn't think it was, I just don't think it's the right move. And then to come back and say, I didn't understand what I was doing is it's kind of ridiculous. So, so yeah, we will see. We will see with all of that. Yeah, wait, wait, is someone woke a list, what, what is the culture war about? What? What is the culture war about this? I'm only coming in from a place that she's a veteran actress who's been around for a long time for her to shit on the critics and shit on a boycott. I thought that was to retweet something that shit on that I think was stupid.

That's the place I'm coming from. Who's talking about woke shit? What is wrong with you all? What is it? You guys have WDS woke derangement syndrome. Like that's the thing with you guys. Everything is, oh, I'm upset about it. I woke, you know, you're popping your pimples and you're shoving in your, your nonsense in your

brain. Come on. Don't be ridiculous for that sake. Yeah, I think this is great. Exactly. Me so dumb. Did know what I was tweeting. Yeah. Fucking Grunkowski approached all of that. So yeah, it was just, it's just, I just think people, I just think I'm, I'm of the place. And I know, you know, I'm speaking for myself. I'm not speaking officially for the Christian Harloff show. But I'm just of the place of like, I just, don't think this kind of stuff is, I think celebrities have assumed this kind of judgmental nature about us that I think is getting a little out of control.

And by us, I mean both fans and critics that I think is getting a little bit out of control. And this sanctimoniousness of these celebrities, I lived in Hollywood for 20 years. I went to numerous parties, after parties, premieres, hanging out late at night with creatives, directors, actors, producers, execs, some people that you know by name and you've seen their work,

I've hung out with them. There is pettiness galore in Hollywood, okay? The amount of shit they talk about each other could fill the Grand Canyon. Don't be fooled by all the love, and we're all together, we're all the community, don't be fool by any of that nonsense. They all turn on each other,

they all talk shit about each other, a lot. Well, a lot of them. I shouldn't say all. A lot of them talk shit about each other. A lot of them undercut each other. So when they come out with these posts, trying to vilify people for commenting on their movies or on their TV shows or like on their appearances even,

which I think, you know, there's kind of a nebulous thing with that. When someone has lost so much weight on the OZemPEC, for you to comment like that they look unrecognizable, that's not body shaming. You're making an analysis and you're looking at something. and there's no one who comments more on other actors' bodies

than actors themselves. So this is kind of sanctimoniousness from these celebrities that to me drives me a little bit fucking insane. So, you know, I just have issues with that. So anyway, that's the thing with all of this stuff that I just think, you know, you guys got to be aware of this stuff

and where it goes down. I'm going to have to ban this, dude, because it's fucking, so you're gone. You're gone, buddy. All right. So those are the thoughts there and those are the situations there. I think that's all the stories. Oh, wait, no, we have one more story and then we'll get to the questions. We have 25 super chats. Send in your love people. What are your thoughts on all this stuff?

We've talked about Paramount WB, the box office, Scream 7. Did you see the scary movie 6 trailer? What did you think of that? Let me know about that in the comment and the super chats as well. The Jim Carrey thing, especially. Where do you land on the Jim Carrey thing? What's your opinion on the Jim Carrey thing? I want to hear about you guys.

So what you guys think. So all right, let's move on to, okay, let's move on to the Netflix thing. Netflix plans more creative theatrical runs. Of course, this is coming off of what happened with K-pop demon hunters. Netflix co-chief Ted Serendos as taste-tested theatrical and it appears that he likes it.

The fame executive sat down with Bloomberg this weekend first interview since Netflix lost a bid to buy Warner Brothers Discovery. When the interviewer said on this, transaction his company had to deal with quote an unusual other buyer serendos respondent unusual yeah unusual irrational whatever words you want to use in that take that however you want to take that things turned interesting when the topic of theatrical distribution came up though now that the warner brother's deal hasn't gone through he was asked if he was still planning to put more Netflix movies and cinemas

while conventional conventional 45-day theatrical windows uh window style releases aren't likely anymore their recent experiments in the theatrical arena are set to continue and potentially increase. Quote, everything I talked about, 45-day windows would require us buying that theatrical distribution entity.

But one thing that's been great about it, this deal is getting, in this deal, is getting to know and have open dialogue with theater owners. I really didn't have

much reason to before. We've figured out some really creative things to do together. Like you saw with Stranger Things, K-pop Demon Hunters. We have one piece

in theaters next week in the U.S. in Japan. I think we're going to find a bunch of cool things to do together going forward. I could see us doing things that we haven't done before.

He also spoke more about passing on deal, essentially Netflix had a price ceiling and stuck with it and when Paramount offers infested, things were pretty much over. So that's an interesting response from Ted Seratos about this, essentially saying that he is going to explore doing more theatrical stuff, that he wants to work with theater owners, that he had a reason to talk to theater owners because of the deal. So listen, they didn't get Warner Brothers, but an offshoot of this or an indirect result

of this process and them not getting Warner Brothers may be that Netflix now kind of explores this possibility of theatrical releases a little bit more with some of their movies, which I think should excite a lot of the filmmakers that go and do movies there. And I'm looking at Gertig who's about to drop her Narnia film on Netflix. Like there are possibilities here where these runs go a little bit longer. I think also Ted saw what F1 did in the theaters, $633 million worldwide. That was also, you know, intended to go to streaming a lot quicker than a lot.

quicker than it did, but its success in the theater kept it off of streaming for a long time. I think Ted sees that possibility. And of course, the K-pop Demon Hunter's situation, which I think is a lot of Monday morning quarterback. We don't know how it actually would have done in the theater. Would it have caught fire the way it did for people when they were home? Because it's a lot easier to roll over and fall on your couch and hit play on a button that is to shower, get dressed, get in the car, drive to the place, park, get in the theater, buy the ticket, and sit in the theater. with other people to watch K-pop demon hunters, would it necessarily have gotten the same amount of attention

in hoopla if it hadn't become a sensation on Netflix? It's a question we'll never know, but I can see them using this as the possibility to explore some theatrical stuff overall.

So we'll see. We'll see. I think it's going to be fascinating to see when that all goes down. All right. So there you go. That's all the stories at this point. Luke,

Have you sent anything, Luke, or any kind of messages? If not, let's get into the super chats. We have 23 right now, as I said, would love to get to 100. If we can get to 100, it'd be really great. And Kristen, I know was talked about us getting to 100. So please, let us get to 100 as we go along. Send in love for the show. And look, this is the thing at the end of day.

A lot of you are very kind and enjoy me hosting or co-hosting with Christian. Super chats is how you support us coming. on every day to be co-hosts for Christian's show. I know it's a competition and we have the jokes about PLD support, but it's about supporting everybody who co-hosts on the show or when any of us hosts solo, it's important to support the channel with Super Chats because you're supporting us coming back, but you're also supporting the existence of these shows coming on every day. So it's important if you can to send in your support through Super Chats because you're sending a signal to Christian to keep doing these live shows every day, you know,

because you may send in a lot for one particular person, but if people don't send in a lot for other people, then that one particular person eventually gets swallowed up because Christian may stop doing these live shows, and then you don't get anybody being a co-host with Christian on these live shows. So it's important to support the channel and support us coming on to host or co-host these shows every day as we go live here on the channel.

So let's get into it here. Trey Wardhaw, 59 says, we always say Sam should take the serum, but if he gets his suit from Wakanda, why doesn't he just go organic and take the heart-shaped herb shir-y mate? That's a very good point. I think that's very much a possibility.

I don't think they're going to necessarily... I don't think they're going to go the serum route with Sam. I think they dealt with that in Captain America 4, for lack of a better name for that film. I think they dealt with that in Captain America 4. So the idea that they wouldn't go another route with him that could be more connected to Black Panther, I think is insane.

I think they would actually go through that and explore that and see what can be done and make sure more a part of this whole thing and connecting the Black experience. Because remember, Black Panther, that central story was about Tachala's dad, Tachaka, leaving his brother in California and the refusal to recognize

his American black children in Africa. And so the idea of having a black Captain America connecting up with, you already got the gear from Wakanda, the tech from Wakanda, connecting him and maybe getting the herb, I think that's very possible. And you give more agency for sure, for Shuri as well. So we will see. Trace said, we also says,

she beat Namor, who is as strong as the Hulk stated in Black Panther 2. So since he's got his fears of side effects from the serum, he should just take the herb. I know. Take that herb. Yeah, take that herb. You know what I'm saying. So yeah, I mean, maybe.

We will see on all of this stuff how it all goes down. Doomsday is happening in December. And then, of course, we'll have Secret Wars, which is rumored to be shooting, I think, later on this year or next year. So we will see how that goes down. Big Bang, O.T. forces. Do you still think Shalame wins best actor? I have to say it's in doubt now.

I really do. I think the sinners. train is starting to pick up steam. And just like if you follow sports, it's whenever a team starts to catch fire, if they catch fire going into the playoffs, they are a dangerous team. And they can make that run to the championship. You know, when the Giants won that Super Bowl as a wild card, they just caught fire and were able to get all the way to the championship and win the championship.

So, you know, it just happens. Team catches fire. We've seen that baseball. The Colorado Rockies, what, 10, 15 years ago, when they caught fire in that postseason and made it all the way to the World Series. They didn't win the series, but they got there. So, you know, things can happen in that way.

The Red Sox, when they beat my Yanks in 2004, when they beat my Yanks, they caught fire in the playoffs ended up breaking that whole 100-year drought or whatever of not having won the World Series. So you just never know. So Baby Sinners is catching fire. Here Mike could be Jordan's catching fire.

And people are getting turned off by Shalame. People don't think Marty Supreme is that strong of a movie. maybe they don't want to go for one bad laugh or other because that's the standard thing. So we'll see, man. Voters are weird. Voters are weird. I count myself in that equation. I am weird as well.

Scott F. Horowitz says, when we were kids, it was six months before a movie was on video. I remember six more before cable. If studios went back to that, think it could save theaters? No, I don't because I think there's too much competition now, especially on the streaming services. There's too much competition for new content. People have been, we've, we've trained or people have trained themselves to want things immediately, right? And they will want to go and do this stuff. And to be honest with you, a lot of young people know what sites to go to that pirate films,

that people go into the theater and turn on a camera and they'll go and watch it. You know, and I think a lot of young people don't necessarily have the appreciation for seeing a movie in the theaters the way other people do. Now, the numbers have come out. that young people do go to the theaters in good, in good, healthy-sized numbers, but I think there's a lot of them that also don't and don't have a problem pirating a movie,

or don't have a problem seeing a movie in a different way. So leaving them in the theaters, I don't think they'll move on to other content and what have you. And so they'll eventually not go. And the thing is, the thing to get people in the theaters is make good movies. And the track record isn't necessarily as strong recently.

So that's part of it as well. Everything goes hat in hand. If you are consistently making great movies and people aren't coming to the theaters to see them, then that's an issue. But if you're making crap movies and people aren't coming to the theater, then the problem becomes like almost Thelman Louise, the movies and the studios are going, oh, the studios, yeah, I guess the movie theaters and studios going hand in hand over the cliff. So, yeah, that's the thing there. So we're too much of a, for lack of a better term, we're too much of a satisfy me now culture to, go back. I just don't think it would be possible. Thank you, Scott. Greenie from Oz, what's up, Greenie?

One thing with AI is once creative's jobs are taken by AI, the exec's jobs will be next. Cut to five years later, our leaders will be replaced by AI2 and well ruled by SkyNet, possibly way worse than any human creator-controlled regime. I think everything's on the table. I'll be honest with you. I did some research on this AI stuff over the weekend, especially because of the drama with Anthropic and open AI, what happened there, the drama with the government. I have used Claude in the past. I like Claude AI.

I did not like Open AI. I'm not a fan of a lot of the other AI stuff. But Claude AI was really user-friendly. And if I'm dipping my, and I'm dipping my toe in the AI pool, I needed to be a user-friendly situation. I thought Claude did that. So I liked the stance they took over the weekend, and I appreciated their pushback and their reasons for doing it.

But there's a lot of possibilities here because you saw immediately open AI slid in there. So I think there are people who are willing to surrender the future of the country to an unknown entity like AI. And we have no idea. People can speculate till they're blue in the face. Elon Musk to a regular Joe all the way down to a regular Joe. We have no idea what's going to happen. And we have no idea if the predictions we make. are going to come true because the one thing that is unpredictable are human beings.

The one thing you can't predict is how human beings are going to react to something. And so what will happen if AI starts to actually disenfranchise people? What will happen if we actually get to that 20% unemployment that some people are predicting AI will cause in the next 10 to 15 years? How will people react? And I think that's the situation. if people were more responsible who were in charge of this stuff, they would slowly roll it out,

slowly put it in motion, but it is going so fast, it's uncontrollable. You have Disney, you know, sinking a billion dollars into open AI so they can try to control the usage of their characters and explore that.

Paramount David Ellison came out and said that he wants to use more AI, wants to make AI a fixture of movies, so we're seeing that happening more and more. I can't remember the company over the weekend that cut like 20% of its workforce, I think, and it led to 20%, 40% more profit for their company. And that should tell you something about where they might be going with all of this.

So yeah, it's a dangerous time. It's a dangerous time with AI, but I think every possibility is on the table. Michael D.A. was a support, Derek Johnson. Yeah, where support? Is that the Jim Carrey picture? That's amazing. That's amazing. Carlton Rodney says London calling.

What's up, Carlton? Saw epic, superb film. Yes, brother. Enjoyed your out of theater reaction. Thank you, Carlton. That was not a cucumber, Carlton. That was a tree. Also, great part two of the Cinevals breakdown of a few good men.

Thank you, yeah. We're continuing our season of Rob Ryder on the Cinefiles. For those of you who don't know, it's a show that I've been hosting for 10 years. We break down a classic or great movie or a movie we just love. Every week, we are now in the middle of our multi-part breakdown of a few good men. I'm actually recording part three later on today.

We had a great comment. Shannon McLung for the Geek Buddies. He is our guest for this conversation with me and Steve Morris on the Cineophiles. It's our season of Rob Reiner. We're about to do Stand By Me after a few Good Men. We re-released our previous episodes on Rob Reiner as well. So a lot that we had a lot of fun discussing and exploring and talking about with Rob Reiner's movies. So if you haven't listened to it, I highly recommended.

It's a lot of fun to break down those movies and have great conversations. Thank you, Carlton. Ray, Dominguez, support. Thank you, Ray. Appreciate you, man. Appreciate you. 28 Vasco says, excuse me, sir, many movie and TV nerds can also be sport nerds. L.O.

No, I didn't say we couldn't be. I just said that the Venn diagram doesn't necessarily cross over. I know when Matt and I would do our top 10 categories, and if any of them were ever sports categories, the numbers were never as good as, when we did regular film categories. So I know that the Venn diagram, the crossover Venn diagram is not as strong or plentiful

between movie nerds and sports nerds for sure. Oh, so you know. All right, Lesty 266 says, my whole fear is Paramount Plus isn't available in, is that Puerto Rico? PR, I'm going to guess that's Puerto Rico? So what's going to happen with the HBO content? Will it now cease to exist in PR?

Wait, in PR? hope they clarify this ASAP. All right, I'm going to assume you mean PR is Puerto Rico, man. I'm going to assume that. So I think they'll address all of that, to be honest with you. They'll make everything. I think the last thing you want to do is remove the accessibility of a big streaming service from any country because you're desperate to get subscribers.

So you want to make all that content available everywhere. But it also depends on, you know, negotiations with those countries. It isn't like, okay, we're going to go into this country and put this channel up. They have their own streaming services. They have their own channels. So it becomes a negotiation thing. So sometimes something not available in a country is because the country itself is not allowing it to be available. Because they feel it's a competition or an unfair competition for their other stuff.

That's part of it as well they have to look at. So we will see. Corn Emperor says, when's the next truth? Greatly needed, please. well probably not till Friday maybe I don't know to be honest with you we'll see because I've got

as I said I got the hot mic tonight at 7 p.m. p.m. p.T. For those who missed that Jeff and I are going live tonight at 7 p.m. with the hot mic to do our screen 7 spoiler review but also talk about some of the other issues that are going on in the world of entertainment. And then I've got spill the tequila tomorrow. I've got probably geek buddies on Wednesday.

Hot mic again on Thursday. geek buddies or probably. So I'll have to fit it in somewhere. But maybe if we do an early geek buddies in the morning on Wednesday, I'll do a truth on Wednesday night. We'll see. But yeah, I'm starting to definitely look at doing more of those episodes. But I also want to maybe explore doing like a pre-taped, condensed version of it. That's about 15 minutes long that I would put up in the morning for people to watch on my channel like eight before the Christian Harlov show pops off.

So maybe. We'll see. We'll see. Thank you, though. Ray Dominguez, my bold prediction is James Gunn-Stace and get support. support from the higher ups if Supergirl kills in the box office. Yeah, I think so. I think it's always going to be a what, what have you done for me lately type of situation with James? But if any of these things slightly underperforms, don't be surprised if Paramount goes in with its executives to try to mess with it

or fiddle with it and change it a little bit. I would not be surprised that happened either. But yeah, it's very much going to be like, what have you done for me lately? Haskell, thank you. He says, sup, John, Paramount Own Showtime. This goes through HBO and Cinemax,

they'd own three quarters of the big cable movie channels. That's a monopoly. I wonder if they'd be forced to sell off Max or Showtime. Yeah, it's a great question. But, I mean, the whole purchase of this was about getting as much content under one roof as possible so they could stay alive. I mean, you've got to factor in, as I said, $11 billion at debt that they're taking on. How are they going to counter that?

That's going to be interesting to see. But you're right. I mean, you're looking at Showtime, HBO, Cinemax. those are the standard big cable movie channels that we've seen in the past. They would own that plus their own paramount situation. So, yeah, that's going to be curious to see how that all plays out. I think, but then again, I mean, all the bets are off on this, aren't they? Because they've got an administration is very favorable to what they're doing.

So will they be able to do the things that they want to do here? will they have carte blanche or will there be some surprises some issues that are going to pop up will they be some senators and some representatives who put political pressure on the department on the administration to not necessarily approve everything to break this up a little bit and again as we get to the midterms if the democrats win the midterms i think you're going to see hearings you're going to see attempts to bust this up and if they win the white house in twenty 28 then i think you're going to see a lot of these mergers get questioned as well. And I saw someone, a friend of mine said that this could all fall apart and then Netflix

could slide back in near the end of the year to buy WB all over again at a much cheaper price, which would be such a colossal FU to Ellison and the Paramount. We'll see. Scott says, well, the geek buddies do any more pluribus review as well? Not anymore, Scott. I mean, the show is already done. so we just missed our window to do a finale review. So unfortunately, we didn't quite get.

I think we did a finale review, I think. So somewhere there is a finale review on the geek buddies in one of our shows from weeks ago. But I don't remember where. Thank you, Scott. Golu, C-A-8 Y3H has become a YouTube member. Congrats, Golu. I'm sure there's a lot going on here on Christian's channel. A lot of reactions that are up there for people to enjoy.

So there you go. Good time to be a YouTube member. Gen X-Kid-Sy-Kid-7-3 says, Hey, John, just leveled up yesterday, 53 years young and still in beast mode. Still thankful for every chapter, feeling grateful, glowing, and blessed. Happy birthday!

It's always great to see you. Always happy to see you come on and comment on our streams, whether it's here on the Christian Harlov Show or on my channel. It's always great to see you. So, happy birthday. Congratulations. Enjoy 53 years young. It ain't 53 now 853 like it was before, you know?

And so people are loving their life and live in their lives. Yeah, the mornings are a bit tough waking up. But once you get that blood juices flowing, the blood flowing, rather, the juice is flowing. You're good to go. But happy birthday to you, girl. Much love to you. And yes, grateful, glowing and blessed, absolutely. While the office is Roka, I watched Witness for the first time this morning after that Harrison Ford speech last night,

good movie and crazy cool score and soundtrack. Yeah, absolutely. I remember the soundtrack being a really essential part of witness. And of course, for those you don't remember, that's the film from 1980s. with Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis and Lucas Haas. Harrison Ford plays a detective who infiltrates an Amish community trying to find someone who is committed a crime, committed a murder.

I think he killed the cop and they're trying to find him. Danny Glover is in it as well. I think Julian Sands. No, not Julian Sands. Alexander Goodenoff. Right before Diehard, he is in the movie as well. But yeah, damn good movie. still holds up probably one we'll do on the center falls down the road wily so that'll be fun to do

that when we get a chance to do it angel man freddie says if that was the real jim carrie he would have been speaking french with his butt i call fake i mean that's fair i feel like that's fair to be called french with his butt yeah i think that's fair i think that's a fair analysis on that one jennis kizman roka you better catch dion coals nbillac c monologue i was in here hollering man had me full LMAO, Regina Hall was on point as well. Okay, so yesterday before the Elvis movie, because you have 30 minutes of trailers

at Regal or 25 minutes of trailers, I brought my iPhone, headphone, my iPod. Is it iPod? What are the, whatever these are, the iPhone headphones. I brought him with my iPhone, and I sat and watched Dion Cole's entire monologue. And I was laughing my nuts off as well.

I mean, his praying for Nicky Menage was hilarious. His calling out of Fitty Cent and his pettiness and other things that he talked about, I thought were really funny. And I think the joke he made about what happened at the Bafters, I think that was the way to joke about it. I think he was, he joked about it, but he didn't, you know, he wasn't ridiculing the man. He just joked about it in a way that was funny for the black community. And I thought that was totally fine to do it that way. I haven't seen Regina Hall's monologues or comments, but I will definitely put that on my list of stuff to watch today, Jen X. Thanks for the heads up. But yeah, Dionne Cole was great. He was so, so funny.

Jen also said, the sag was great. Okay, John, I love to stay a vibe out. You're always bringing the heat, but I got to slide back to work. Already hit that like button, though. I'll spin back later and catch the replay. Thank you, Jen X. Enjoy the work. And thanks for stopping by. Much love to you. Thank you for the support. We're 32 ladies, Jim. Would love to get to at least 50 superchats. We've got 560 of you in here. Please send in your super chats, send in your love, sending your support for appreciation for all of us going live

every day that we do the show. We'd love for you all to send in your super chats as we go along. 28 Vosco says Harrison Ford's acceptance speech is one of the best ever actors, slash musicians, slash athletes, grab the tissues. I agree.

It was a beautiful, beautiful speech. I think he had a lot to say that people want to hear now. And I thought it was great. And those of us who've, you know, seen Harrison since the first Star Wars movie, um, we've been through a lot with this guy and a lot in our own lives.

And we've seen his career go up and down. And he's just been a solid, solid dude on so many levels. Uh, and, you know, having this like second or third renaissance that he's in now, uh, with all the movies and the TV and the shrinking, I think is,

is amazing. So for all the jokes people make about his cantankerousness and about his kind of aloofness or standoffishness, what you saw last night is probably what a lot of people who get to be close to Harrison C, which is he's a much more sensitive, caring, open guy who is in touch with his emotions, but he saves them for when it's appropriate. And I think last night he felt it was appropriate. Now there was really beautiful speech that he gave. Seattle chaos is to how do you suppose Ellison will handle the WB games division? Oh, Jesus, dude. Your guess is my guess. I have no idea. I mean, if he was smart, he brings someone in who understands the WB games, understands how to elevate the WB Games division. Because I think that Suicide Squad game

absolutely tanked. And so there's questions about where to go next on some of this stuff. And so hopefully you bring someone in his very experience with this. I mean, that's the thing about Ellison. He's out a lot of contacts. He knows a lot of people. He knows a lot of people. people. And he's produced a lot of content that you could argue is all over the political spectrum. So right now he's attached to a certain politician, but that doesn't mean that he has necessarily attached to that mindset forever. So, you know, there's a lot of room to maneuver. And he's made a lot of contacts into Hollywood. So will those people want to work for him? We will see. It's a good question. Angel Manfredi says, not a hit take, but I absolutely

love the Russo's work in the MCU and I'm super excited for Avengers 5 and 6. What do you know about what they do next advisors for the rebooted MCU, more MCU films both. Well, the rumor has always been that they're going to oversee X-Men, that once they're done with Doomsday and Secret Wars, because X-Men will be launching out of Secret Wars, they're going to, they're going to do that. And so I would not be surprised. I wonder if Jake Shrier had meetings with the Rousseau's and with Fagie, and there was a feeling like, yeah, this is the guy to go with. Yeah, Thunderbolts didn't do great at the box office, but that's not his fault.

He directed a good movie. Let's see what he can do with a bigger title with full support behind him and with us casting it and overseeing it. So I think that's what's next for the Russo Brothers. And if I was the Roosur Brothers, I would never leave Marvel. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming from Marvel

because clearly outside of Marvel, they have not found much success at all. And so staying with Marvel, where you made your bones, where you got your name, where people loved what you did. I think that is the smart way to go. And so you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming out of Marvel if I was one of the Russo brothers, to be honest.

Mike Joyce says, I'm surprised you're seeing Scream 7. Perry won't even see it and she's a huge fan of the series. Oh, really? I'm surprised by that. Perry sees everything. She didn't see the screening or anything. Mike, are you sure about that? I don't know where you're getting that from because she's a massive,

yeah, right, she's a huge fan. I would be very surprised if she didn't see it. but I'll tell you this, if she's not seeing it because she doesn't want to deliver a bad review, I think that's that's poor form. You know, that's why I don't believe it because I think Perry sees everything. You know, so I would be surprised if she's not seeing it. Because she's a huge fan of the series, because you want to go in and make up your own mind, you know. Yeah, I would never not see a Rocky movie.

So I don't know. I'd be surprised. I don't know if you're right on that, Mike. My guest is Scream 7 has a big drop in week two. We'll see. There's not much competition. And I know the B minus cinema score, that's word of mouth. That's not great.

I don't know. What's the audience score on that? Let me see on the Rotten Tomatoes with the audience scores. Do, do, do, do. The audience score is 77%. So that's not bad to get you to a second weekend. That'll do something. The 32% is the critics.

response. So I haven't even added mine, but 32%. Woof. Is there anyone who liked it that we know? Wait, we're going to the top critics. Top critics. Here we go. Anyone who liked it in the top critics that had things. Manola Dargis

gave it a positive. Keith Ulick substack. I don't know who that is. Benjamin Lee at the Guardian said a scrappy, passable, entertaining new chapter that limps to the screen with wounds. on show. Alonzo did not like it.

Through All Day did not like it. Bibiani liked it. What a surprise. It's not that scream is a bad scream movie. There are no bad scream movies yet. Even the worst one is kind of all right. And this is the worst one. All right.

So that's some crafty lettering or wording there from Bibiani. It's not the scream is a bad scream. There are no bad screen. Even the worst one's kind of all right. But this is the worst one. So he's saying is the worst. worst it's the worst one of all the ones that have been released but it's not bad so okay okay

bids christie puchko over at mashable said the screaming franchise has got good fun again thanks to to scream seven and taylor williams over at slant gave it a two and a half out of four so that just barely passes into the positive side of things so so you know two or three critics that you may know gave it a positive review so again i'd be surprised if perry hasn't won't go see it that would be very surprising. Legend MM 600. Is anyone excited for Daredo coming out this month?

Hope it's badass. Wait, what? Is Dareda reporting out this month? I don't think so, but. Oh, wait, what? Is it? No. Is it this month?

I haven't gotten any screeners or anything. Is it supposed to come out this month? Oh, second season is supposed to schedule March 24th. Yeah, I guess in 22 days. We'll get eight episodes of, of Darenevel. All right. I've seen hardly any hype for the movie. We covered a little bit of it on the recent Geek Buddies episode on Friday. They were pitching season three as much more street level and that they're done with politics and Kingpin being in the political side of

things, I guess. So yeah, okay. Yeah. I hope it's badass too, legend, but clearly I'm not that too excited about it. And I don't see too much hype around it. to be honest with you right now. So we'll see how it hits people. GoPowell says you can write off critics, but regular folks don't seem to be loving Scream 7. Either it already made its money back or nearly so anyway. It did.

You're right. It did. It has made its production budget back, double its production budget. So we'll see if it can get into like real profit territory over the next couple of weeks. So we will see. But yeah,

sees a lot of regular people shitting on the film like crazy online as well. Sad Ace 21 says, Camp Paramarant, now admit we attacked Iran and Top Gun 2. I don't know, man. Is that what you think it was? I don't know. I have not heard that once from anybody. Angel Man, Freddy says,

one more to support you, thank you, Angel Man. The thing is my favorite in the comic. Oh, the thing, the character of the thing is my favorite in the comics. I heard he bends Walker Shields back into shape in Doom's Day, which sounds like a great moment. Pack cast aside, I think he will shine thoughts. Yeah, I think, you know, I think he was great in the Fantastic Four movie.

I like the character. I thought they edited some stuff out that should have been left in about him as the thing. And I liked his voiceover work as the thing. I thought there was a lot of empathy, a lot of vulnerability that was fun to see him. And I like that he was like this. sounding board for Reed that always stood up for him, you know, and got him to see the better

parts of himself. And so I like that. He was an essential part of the four where sometimes the thing Ben Grimm becomes like, oh, we got to deal with his trauma about becoming the thing. We got to deal with his sadness. We got to deal with his anger and frustration. This was a different approach to Ben Grim that was much more caring, much more fighting for his team. And like that you know and so i would love to see more of that um as well is there any is there any else that they know is there anything else that they've got uh going on with with him that they might mean i liked him in the wakonda thing i thought that was uh the trailer that they had for doomsday his wakana interactions were great but yeah so i mean in evan moss backrack

i loved him in the first season of punisher he's just a damn good actor and the bear of course so i'd like to see that more uh volkan is here for the Roka. Cine Fals forever. Oh, thank you, Volcano. Appreciate that, well, appreciate that. Go, pal, says, stand by me. It was the first R movie I saw in the theater.

Yeah, and it's coming back later on, I think this month or early next month for a 40th anniversary. So we will be doing it. We did not know it was coming back in the theaters. We just had kind of planned this out the way to start the year. So we will be doing that right around the time that it's back in theater. So that's going to be a lot of fun to kind of coincide with that. envy

my editing said did the geek buddies do a deep dive deep dive on the mando official trailer lots of opinions i think they're holding back on revealing too much yeah we did we did a discussion on it i don't know about deep dive we weren't looking at frame by frame but we certainly discussed it on a recent episode um you know you can go back and see the uh the in the descriptions i always put the time code and the subjects that we're talking about um so yeah we did we talked about it

We got through it. There is a feeling that we're hoping it's good, but we haven't been wowed by anything we've seen so far. So we'll see. And I watched the trailer last night. They are at the Regal Cinemas when I was watching the epic movie. I watched the trailer into a theater. And I got to say, it plays in a theater.

The trailer plays in a theater. So whatever may be lost in translation when you're watching it on a computer or watching it on TV, when you go to a theater, it does have a good. good feeling. So, you know, it may be just one of these things that you have to see it in the theater to really enjoy and grasp what the intention is of Favreau. Gopaz's Lucas Haas. That's a name I've not heard in a long time, a long time. Mars attacks Natalie Portman is a lasting memory. Oh, yes, Natalie Portman and Mars, that's hilarious. That's right. Lucas still works. He pops up in in some interesting things. Let me see here. What has he been doing lately? I know he, yeah, it was

in inception i remember him in inception yeah uh he was just a travolta movie high roller so yeah he's doing some of these films that are like straight to streaming you know but he was also in the recently in 2023 seven episodes of righteous gemstones yeah i remember him in babylon he was in that war the world series back in 2022

so yeah the man works consistently still after all this time still working still doing his thing oh that's right he was in the revenant back in 2015. I remember that. So Lucas works. Ain't no shame on Lucas's game. Seattle, KEO, Elimination Chamber Thoughts. I did a watch-along of it the other night.

I probably shouldn't have because it had almost no views on it. I think it said 3,000, 3,000 or 4,000 views, which is nothing for when I do the wrestling watchalongs. It was fine. It wasn't that great. I thought the endings were pretty predictable. the matches were fine. They weren't spectacular.

Some people came out worse than they went in. I think L.A. Knight botching that move off the rope, hurt him. There's a narrative about L.A. Knight's botches, and it's frustrating because I like L.A. Knight. So I think he came out worse than when he went in. I do like Randy winning. I thought that was awesome.

A nice swerve and surprise. The hooded stuff, kind of lame. We all knew it was Seth. ESPN kind of spoiled it, so it wasn't a surprise. The Dan Housen thing fell on its face, sadly. No fault of Dan Housins, but I think the way they presented that was not great. Just didn't work in Chicago booing it. You know, and I saw some people try to say, well, those aren't real Chicago wrestling fans. The prices are too high for the tickets and they price them out. Man, get the F out of here with that nonsense. Chicago audiences will tell you if something works or doesn't.

immediately and they have no shame in telling you that. So that was very much a Chicago audience, not people flying in with their caviar to sit and watch WWE. How stupid. People love the WWU in Chicago. They go, especially because Z.M. Punk and A.J. Lee were having matches for belts. There's no way that the people there are like, you know,

transplants or whatever. These are Chicago people. They gave a legitimate feeling about the Dan Helson thing. But yeah, overall, those are my thoughts on it. Fine, not great. Tyler Places, the guy in Seven Kingdoms who helped sign up for the tournament and kept spitting, did the voice mocap for Evidy May in Infinity War endgame.

Oh, okay, that explains why he kind of looks like it. Evony Maugh, I think you mean Ebony Maul. That explains why he kind of looks like him in the appearance there in endgame. So yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually. I did not know. That's good to know. And Night Fox, our last one for now, almost second of the last one for now,

said, is there any world where WB shares the domestic IMAX screens with Disney and we get our Dune's Day, which I pray for a double feature? Hell no. There is no world where that happens, especially now if everything goes through, by the time December happens,

there's really no way WB slash Paramount, Paramount slash WB, would share the domestic IMAX screens because they've got to make as much money as possible from the jump. So giving away screenings to your competitor on an IMAX screen to please fans, that's not even in their wheelhouse. That's not even a consideration. Like I'd be supremely shocked if they would do that.

That's just not something a company would do who is desperate to make as much money as possible to pay off the massive debt that they're into, the three-figured debt that they're into. Yeah, no, I don't think that would be possible. GoPowell says, what are your thoughts on Max Landis's G. This is G. Well, we talked about it on Hot Micah, and we talked to. about it on the geek buddies. It's a very, how can I say this? It's a very complex issue because the accusations are pretty brutal.

And people came out with stories over the weekend and on TikTok on social media, Twitter. But those stories are from, a lot of the stories are from 10 years ago and 15 years ago. Now, I'm not excusing any of his behavior. And I don't think he was convicted of anything. There were a lot of accusations and what have you. And look, accusations or accusations, you can feel about them as you see fit.

But, you know, three years ago, he took ownership of his behavior. He said he was pretty terrible partner, said he was a toxic person. So I think the thing is people can make mistakes when they're young. And I know to say something like sexual assault or the accusations of rape to reduce it to mistakes is diminishing, and I don't want to do that.

I don't want to come off saying that. But people do, I don't know what you want to say. People make errors in the steps, whatever word you want to use that doesn't denigrate those accusations, that's the word I would use. But we don't know what work he's done. We don't know if he has been working on himself and changing himself. And we know that it's important to create a path for people to understand the mistakes they've made, seek forgiveness, work on themselves, and find their way back.

The other option is that he hasn't done any of that. He's still the same self-entitled asshole he was before. And so we'll see. I think things will come out. If he's still the same person he was before, I think things will come out in droves. Stores will come out in droves that are from the last few years, last three to five years or two years or one year, and I think that will give us a better understanding,

could sink him of the decision here. But when you look at it with Paramount, like they're giving a number of people another shot to come back who've been quote unquote canceled or quote unquote got in trouble with the Me Too moving or whatever. So it does feel a little like they're trying to become a place where these people can go. And that does minimize the stuff that they've done to other people

and I think that's a little, I think it's a dangerous line to walk. So I think as I said, it's a very complex issue. Paramount has a right to hire whoever they want to hire. We all have a right to express an opinion about it.

But at the end of the day, if they stay with him, I think it's going to be about what is the end result? Do people like the movie or not? And Hollywood is always forgiven people for any number of things

and put them back up on a pedestal or gave them them opportunities, right? So, I mean, Mel Gibson said some of the worst stuff you've ever seen, and yet he ended up getting nominated for a best picture Oscar for Hacksaw Ridge. And I don't know if he did the work. I don't know if he made some changes. But it seemed like he was able to come back enough for Hollywood to nominate him

and nominate his film, I think, for six Academy Awards or something like that. So, you know, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see, man. But his DC stuff has been good. I'm not a fan of Bright. But we'll see what he does with G.I. Joe. The question becomes more about what kind of G.I. Joe is he going to deliver him? And if you're Danny McBride, are you a bit offended that they brought in another writer to do another G.I. Joe movie.

And you're now competing with that writer to see which G.I. Joe movie gets the green light. Or that they're going to take what you worked on really hard and they just combine it with someone who's coming in late in the process. I don't know. A lot of weirdness around that. Real McCoy 303 says, did you talk about the scary movie six trailer? I thought it looked great. Need more of these kinds of comedies.

Yeah, I thought for the most part it worked. I do think the pronouns joke is a little dated. It's a little like tired. The prognons joke. Like everyone's been joking about pronouns for years. It wasn't that funny, to be honest with you.

I thought the black-white stuff, it kind of worked and then kind of didn't work. The other stuff, though, the send-up of the terror fire stuff, the sinner stuff, the weapon stuff. I thought that was really funny. The scary movie stuff with the dildo. That was crazy.

A little kid holding what she's holding. That's a dangerous one to put on your film. But, you know, I thought for the most part, though, you can see my reaction that's up on the channel. I thought for the most part, it worked. So, yeah, we'll see. And yeah, you say we need more kinds of these comedies. I think we need more kinds of these comedies that are actually funny.

Those are the kinds of comedies that we need. not just any comedies. We need comedies that are actually funny. And we do need sarcastic, satirical, spoofy type of comedies that are sending up this stuff. I agree. That's why South Park is so great, still so great, because they do what they do.

So yeah, I want to see more of it. We'll see if another trailer, some of the jokes land a little bit better. But overall, I thought it was a good trailer for what it was. Not a great trailer, though. I was hoping it would be a little bit better than it was. Let's see, GoPow's Max is adjacent to this community in this weekend.

I learned he was worse than I had heard originally. Yeah, I know. And that's the thing. It's, but the stories you're hearing from what I saw over the weekend, and I may be wrong about this. Some of you can correct me, but from what I saw,

those stories are from years ago before all of the stuff went down. And there hasn't been much about him over the last five years where there have been stories coming out about his behavior. But as I said, as he becomes back, if he's being moved back into prominence and a spotlight is on him, if there's been stuff that's gone on with him, of the last five years, that stuff is going to start coming out in droves because people have

multiple social media places to go and talk about those things. Nathan Drake, this is the last one for now. We're at 40. We'd love to get to at least 50 guys. Well over 500 of you joining me right now. Would love to get at least a 50 if we can before we wrap up the show. Nathan Drake says, remember Soldier with Kurt Russell? It's getting a 4K release soon and I think it's a fun underrated action movie.

Paul W. Sanderson directed. I do remember that movie. I didn't like that movie. So it's interesting what's getting 4K releases and what isn't, right? Isn't it a fascinating thing? There are a lot of great movies that do not have four. Open Range, one of the greatest westerns of the last 25 years, does not have a 4K release.

And that movie is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. and there is no 4K. I don't think there's a 4K for assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. And that's a gorgeous movie, right? So you look at these films that are getting 4K releases. It's kind of confusing which ones are getting

and which one aren't. I'm sure it's all about rights and do they want to sink the money into upgraded? I don't know how much of a following soldier has. I personally didn't like it, but I remember being the film after, oh, I always get his name wrong. want to make sure I get the name right because I always get him confused with,

is it Jason Scott Lee? What's his name? He did the Bruce Lee movie. What was, Dragon the Bruce Lee story, which is a great film of Rob Cohen. Yeah, Jason Scott Lee. That's it.

I get him confused with homie from chasing Amy and ball rats. I always get him confused with that. But yeah, Jason Scott Lee, the name, not the point. person. I remember that being, I think that was right after he did Dragon, right, with Soldier, because it came out, I think, in 95, if I remember correctly. Oh, was it, yeah, 93. Oh, was he not in Soldier?

Oh, no, it came out 98, so five years later. So it wasn't right after. He did a bunch of other movies after that, Jungle Book, Taylor of the, oh, so, yeah, I was always surprised that Jason didn't become a bigger star. He was so good. watched the scene from Dragon the other day for the first time in years, the one where he has to do the fight in 60 seconds after he's

had his back broken and the guy comes back to do it again. That movie is so good, man. It is so fucking good. And he's great in that film. It's such a confident, strong, grounded performance. I thought Jason Scott Lee was going to go on and be just a superstar on so many levels. And it may

just be as an Asian actor. There wasn't a lot of opportunities for him to slide in in the mid-90s to do stuff. But, I mean, he's such a great actor. I really enjoyed him. And Lauren Holly was damn good in that movie as well. You know, Lauren's still with us. Very funny comment Lauren Holly about Dennis Quaid over the weekend. But I think she's great.

You know, and so that film, that film is, I think, does that film have a 4K? I need to get that film as a 4th day release for sure. All right. Let's see. Well, we got one, what came in here from Bojacks. What's up, dude? Good to see you, man. Do you think Michael B. Jordan Sagan gives him more of a chance of winning the Oscars?

Or do you think it will go to Shalbary or DiCaprio? I think it definitely gives him more of a chance. You know, I think the final. voting is about to happen. And so you see, he delivered a fantastic speech himself. We haven't even given any love to his speech. He delivered a great speech himself. And I think this is, I think this is building. I think this momentum is growing. I do believe that he has more of a chance now than he did before. Just like I think sinners has more of a chance now to win best picture than it had when all these award shows were starting to happen. I think sinners is starting to pick up steam in a big way

or not started to. It has picked up steam in a big way. And I think all bets are off now at the Oscars with just about every category except Best Actress. I even think Best Director might be in play for Ryan Kubler, who also delivered a wonderful speech last night or two nights ago, sorry. So yeah, I think there's a lot of momentum for sinners right now. And we will see what it ends up, what ends up happening with that because one bad laughter another seemed like it did pretty much a lock. Now there's a lot more questions around it.

But I do think Michael B, now people looking at it more. Thank you, Bojadz. Good to see you. Volka nurses for the Roka Geekbodies Forever. Thank you very much. Appreciate that Vulcan nerd. Always appreciate your comments.

I mean, sometimes you go crazy in the comment section, but overall, I do appreciate your comments, brother. You are a welcomed viewer of my stuff and the Christian Harlov channel as well. All right. I think that's all the Super chats. If you guys want to keep me on, you can send in super chats in the next few minutes.

But for right now, we'll go. Super Main says, the sinner story is so unoriginal compared to one battle. I don't understand that. I really, I've seen a lot of people push back. I had to go back at somebody. This Dust Till Dawn stuff, you guys are, anyone's saying that shit. You should probably have your film critical analysis card taken away from you. Because that is to compare that sea.

level grindhouse movie to what sinners is doing as a film to me is just utterly moronic utterly moronic sinners is a film about the commentary of white culture co-opting black culture and removing black identity that is such a powerful commentary and the vampires symbol are supposed to symbolize that and that i mean it's it's a little on the nose but it's supposed to symbolize that there is none of that in dusk till dawn which is basically a masturbation fest for people who enjoy violence or Salma Hayek in a state of undress with a snake. To make the comparison to those two, I think is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. Like, it really is.

Like, it's not even a, it's not even an equation in my mind that makes any sense, you know? If you think sinners is unoriginal, I'd like you to show me the vampire film that talks about, the predominant white culture sucking the life out of the black culture that has the commentary within it about also the Asian approach to it and also the stuff about music and how black identity works and can be removed and even brother to brother how that changes the interracial relationship with him and Haley Stein felt like there's so much about that movie that is a lot of fun to watch so I don't understand people saying it's not original trying to compare it to fucking

just till done which you know it's not even the best of Robert Rodriguez for God's for an emperor make sure to watch spill the tequila Tuesdays yes me and Winston A Marshall having a lot of fun we had a lot of people complimented us which is very humbling on our conversation about what happened at the bafters you know we gave we gave respect and love to John Davidson and his battle with with his uh addition to Tourette's and also also to the feelings of hurt that Del Rey, Linda,

Michael B. Jordan and Harriet Beechler, the customer, costume design person for the for sinners as well, like what she experienced as well. So, very kind of people to watch a spill and give some love to us there. Seattle, K.O., thank you much.

Support to 50. We're almost there. We're at 46. Come on, people. Get us to 50. Beetown said support. Thank you, Btown. Appreciate it. Lestie, 20266 is what do you think is Michael B. Jordan's best performance. Ooh, that's a great question. So, you know, we're four away from 50. We'd love to get to 50 at least in the next seven minutes before we wrap up the show.

Michael B. Jordan's greatest performance. I mean, so that's a great question. That's a great question. Is it NBA 2K17 as Justice Young? I don't know. are there. Is it Pretty Boy Flissie in the Boondocks? Is it Victor Stone, Cyborg, and Justice League

the Flashpoint Paradox? I don't know. I don't know. Is it the wire, the first season of the wire, which I loved him in? Yeah, it's really interesting. I guess I have to go sinners. I think if Kilmonger had more

real estate, that would be the number one. choice but he has so much real estate and sinners playing two different characters and two in two believably different performances you know i think it's amazing i love his creed you know but creed is always overshadowed by stalone in those first two movies and then jonathan majors i thought was incredible in creed three so i guess i'll have to go by default i'll have to go to sinners because like that is the apex of everything he's been building to and so i think that is his greatest performance, to be honest,

or best performance, yeah. Let's see, let's see. Oh, we got, we got, all right,

we got the 51. Thank you guys. Yes. Let's see. Beatown says, when's the last time you heard a doomsday scoop? I think it's been a few days.

The people I go to haven't sent me much. You know, I've checked in on them and seen if they've gotten everything, anything, and they haven't sent me much. So I don't know. too much. I know that

comicbookmovie.com publishes a lot of the rumors that my time to shine, hello, or Daniel R.P.K. or cosmic circus post. But I haven't heard too much, for sure. Bokenard for the Roka, Jedi Way forever. Ah, yes.

I'm sure we'll have a new episode this week at some point with me and Kevin and Frank talking about stuff that's going on. So yeah, please stay tuned for that later on. Michael D.A.81 says support for Derek Johnson. Thank you. In Ninja Carb is chances of real nightmare before Christmas sequel. That's a good question.

Are there chances that we could get a nightmare before Christmas sequel? I suppose. I suppose people would want to see a nightmare before Christmas sequel. I think he's got to be done with Wednesday first, and I think he can open the door as the producer. And maybe he'll direct this time, because remember, he didn't direct the nightmare before Christmas. So maybe Tim Burton directs the sequel.

That could be a lot of fun. It could be interesting. Although there are a lot of young, new horror voices who might want to take. it on. Pascal says demolition is finally getting into the WWE Hall of Fame. Yeah, demolition.

That's great. I love to see it. I love to see it. Why are they putting Stephanie into the Hall of Fame? Is her career done? Like, what the fuck? It's so stupid. Demolition into the Hall of Fame is great.

I love demolition. I loved Road Warriors, but I know people came at demolition as kind of a carbon copy, but I think they very much made their own name and walked their own path in the 80s WWF at the time, WWU now, of course. Corn Emperor,

favorite non-grunge 90s band? I mean, did you guys see the Counting Crows documentary on HBO Max? That's a damn good documentary. If you guys haven't seen that doc, it's a really good doc exploring when Adam Duritz went through and the crew went through

and his mental health journey. There's a lot of mental health talk in that documentary that I thought was really amazing. So, yeah. I think that's... Maybe gin blossoms? Hold on. Let me see.

Favorite. Let's see. Hold on. Hold on. Best 90s band. Four people come after me, you know? You can't say Metallica because Metallica was already around. And sadly, Pearl Jam is considered grunge, even though I don't think they're necessarily grunge. I think they very much were rock. Whatever.

let's see here who do you got nirvana of course two bucks not bad rage against the machine yeah probably rage probably rage yeah I would say probably rage radio head yeah fuck yeah radio head sure I wasn't a sound garden guy respected them but wasn't a sound garden guy

smashing pumpkins is that considered grunge I don't think they're grudge but maybe smashing pumpkins yeah yeah I think it has to be yeah I think it has to be Rage Against the Machine

I mean the lead singer has kind of my last name Zach Delaroca so and Tom Rello's been great Tom Rell's been an important voice over the last few years so yeah I would definitely I mean I still fucking rock out to rage

if you catch me driving around San Diego you might catch me screaming, scream singing, killing in the name of at a stoplight. I mean, I love killing in the name of is my inner Roca animal, for sure. I fucking love that song. I've always wanted to do it karaoke.

Maybe one day I will. Burn the fucking bar down. KJ 7457 says, Hey, John, when will Zach Snyder give up his Justice League sequel? It's over, Johnny. That is over! I don't think you'll ever give it up.

because I think people want it. There's still enough people that want it that he could never give it up. And you don't know his connections with David Ellison. Will that open the door to him doing it? You know, there's a lot of right-wingerers who like Zach Snyder's approach to superhero stuff.

Ellison is connected to the MAGA movement, right-wing movement, so I wouldn't be surprised if an animated version of Justice League 2 pops up on the WB or pops up on HBO Max. I would not be surprised at all. What are the other bands? Oh, Lenny Kravitz or GTFO says,

Saul, that's a good choice. It cares of the time, but Metallica has been around a while, but yes, for sure they came into prominence in the 90s. That's a good choice as well. People like REM, for sure. Spashing Pumpkins was Alt-Goth. Okay. Ocean color scene, interesting. Ban Halen, well, they had already been established.

Queens-Rike, Christa's sister, Jewish Priest, those are all that had been established before the 90s. I don't know if I could give that necessarily. Green Day? Yeah, a lot of people love Green Day, for sure. Stone Temple Pilots, that's another good one. Manic Street preachers, for sure. Yeah, Sponge, Poked is alternative, at least in the 90s.

Yeah, right, exactly. Let's see here. Oh, no. Was PLD in here? Oh, no. Oasis, yeah, corn. A lot of people love Oasis, for sure. Let's see, what else?

there okay uh yeah so there you go that's uh that's all the ones a corn yeah for sure new radicals had one yeah new radicals of course pld loves new radicals so you're such a soft-ass plb of course you like new radicals uh all right well they said rock band not touchy feely mall rock for god sakes all right anyway let's get the hell out here thank you all so much we got to 51 superchats without pld sending any super chats you buy us as saca s o b but we got to 51 at least thank you all so much for us live. I appreciate you all madly. Don't forget 7 p.m. PT tonight. The hot mic. The hot mic, 7 p.m. PT, me and Jeff Snyder, talking, Scream 7, and a bunch of other things going on in Hollywood. To join us live a little late night. So maybe we'll be drinking a little bit. We'll get so, we'll take the, we'll take the, the filters off and have a little fun with it. We'd love it. Yeah, PLD probably loves Insync as well.

Thank you all so much. Please remember to subscribe to the channel. As Christian says, every live show, this is the time to become a member. because there's so much happening. There's so many reaction videos that PLD edits, you know, for all the shit I get, PLD, his editing on these reactions is great. He puts them out there. So definitely watch those that are out there. The movie stuff, the episode stuff, that'd be great as well.

And for my channel, please head over to my channel as well. YouTube.com slash John Roker says, the hot mic, the geek buddies, the Jedi way, spill the tequila, my reactions and reviews, my out-of-the-the-eater reactions are the truth that is now going to become much more of a prominent show on my channel. of that is happening there. So please head on over YouTube.com slash John Roka says,

get me to 50,000 subscribers by the end of the year. I really would love that because then that would get me more people to come on and be interviewed by me on my channel, more of the celebrities, maybe even Penny Barber down the road as some of you've seen in that interview. We have two more here. BoJack says, do you think viability plays a role in how voters vote? Like if an actor doesn't normally get noms, they might get a win versus someone that is younger.

We'll probably get more noms in the future. Yes, I think that is absolutely a thing. people who made a big deal about Chalamay being considered at such a young age I think there are people who vote going like you need to prove us something you need to prove something more you need to be around a little bit longer

Spielberg suffered from that for a long time there are certain people there are certain artists that come in like Daniel Day Lewis and right off the bat they started handing him awards it's really about the person it really is something you can't even quantify

or I don't know what it is there's not a formula. There's just something about something, somebody comes, the certain person comes along, they have that energy and boom, they get awards right off the bat.

And then other people have to come along do multiple great films. I mean, Denis Villeneuve doesn't have an Oscar. What the fuck are we talking about? You know what I'm saying? It doesn't have like a best director Oscar, right? So, right, I don't think he's won anything.

He's been nominated, but I don't think he's won anything. And he's one of the greatest filmmakers working today. Right? So it's just crazy to me when you look at that, as the Oscars and go like, well, do they deserve this kind of stuff? Right? So you look at, yeah, film, where is it?

Where is the award? Do they have the awards for, I don't think he's won anything, right? Right? Here we go. List of awards nomination, Denny Villeneuve. For the Academy Awards, he's been nominated. So if nominated for Best Director once, just once for a rival, he's been nominated for Best Picture twice for Dewan and Doom Bar 2,

and Best Act's it, though. He's got four nominations, and he's made some of the greatest movies of the last 11 years, 10 to 11 years, and he's got four nominations. It's fucking insane. You know, so you just never know why some people who've been around a long,

been around a small time, get these awards and some people don't. So Casey Grant, thank you. Support for Roca holding it down. Thank you so much. Appreciate you. Oh! Oh!

POD, since you won't win this week, anyways, I feel safe giving you this. I put on new radicals and the girls loved it. don't hate the play. I hate the game. Yeah, there you go. Well, the girls love it. That's the answer right there you. Uh, but yes, there you go. Uh, thank you, P.L.I appreciate you sitting in that super chat. And you're right. I'm not going to win the week. Then again, I don't have Christian Harlov as my co-host and other people will. BoJack says, I thought the first two acts of Scream 7 were fine.
