The Prepper Broadcasting Network - DAC - We Watched The Movie

Episode Date: December 28, 2023

A person who advocates and practices preparedness. One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a prepper. Hello everyone out there on the internet, Radioland. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. And I'm still recovering. I think it's on the downhill side now. So, feeling better every day.

Yesterday, I packed up a whole load of scrap metal and took it to the scrap yard. I got 65 bucks. Yep, I don't know if you heard the plan, but I take the scrap metal and then I buy silver. So I'm going to take the $65 and buy silver. So I turn scrap metal into precious metal. How about that? That's how I'm funding that habit. What else is going on here at the Jones Homestead?

Well, the new year is coming fast upon us. I'm enjoying the break from school, so are the kids. They're wearing out those VR headsets, though. We're kind of concerned. I don't know what the long-term health effect of this is. I guess we should have thought of that before we bought them. Yeah. We did watch that movie last night, that Netflix movie with Julia Roberts.

It was interesting, very interesting. It almost seems like there should be a part two. I am with the intrepid commander on this. Maybe that maybe in some families, yeah, but not in my family, not us growing up. We were Poe white folk growing up, and I don't know. People in this story, there's no one I know that acts like that. So, yeah, it's fictitious. And the characters are somewhat hard to believe. Somewhat.

But I'm sure there's people out there like that. My grandma used to say, it takes all kinds of people to make up a world, and it does. It takes all kinds. So, I just couldn't see it. And then, you know, you put yourself in that situation, and there's no comparison there,

because these people were not preppers. Not even close. They were clueless city people. I did like this scenario because what it boiled down to was it was the government trying to take over its people, you know, to thwart the Constitution. And it was interesting that this was the first movie Barack Obama's production company makes. Did he have some weird fantasy of doing this?

I understand someone else wrote it, but, yeah. Why this one? And they dropped the F-bomb in this movie so many times, it was annoying. And it was like, I don't know anybody who talks like that. I mean, I was in the Army for 24 years. I don't know anybody who talks like that.

Anyway. anyway it's an interesting movie I don't know that there was a sonic weapon that was used and sonic weapons they just don't blast out over the countryside they have very limited range and limited application. So, I don't know.

I think it just added a layer of mystery to it. And of course, the closer you are to the sonic weapon, the more powerful it is. So if they're out in the middle of the woods in the country, you know, the countryside, and the target was supposed to be the city, well, I can't imagine what the city was going through. I mean, people's heads would have exploded, I think.

Anyway, you can check it out. It's on Netflix. It's interesting. It's definitely not a waste of time. You know, in the Jones pantheon of movie critic, I have five categories. This is when I used to go to the movies almost every week. The only people I knew

that saw more movies than I did were actual movie critics. And so, if something got five stars from me, that meant if you only see one or two movies a year, in the theater, you have to see these movies. And they would be, you know, huge. Platoon was one of them, if you remember how that movie was. Anyway, a Titanic, you you remember how that movie was. Anyway, a Titanic, you know, must-see movies.

And then four, four stars, go, pay full price, make a night of it, you know, have a date. Three, matinee price. Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon, get you a matinee. It's worth a matinee. Two, movie rental price. Back when they rented movies, it was like $2, $2.50, $5, something like that. Movie rental price. like that. Movie rental pies. And then one star is you could organize your garage and get more out of it. So if something got one star, it was terrible in so many ways. You couldn't concentrate. Eyes wide shut.

That movie with Tom Cruise that made practically no sense to me was that movie. So there you go. How would I rate this movie? Well, since you can only see it on Netflix, I would say watch it on Netflix. Because you don't have any other option. Okay, PBN family. Remember, if you have any questions for the NBC guy,
