Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show, Donkey Show.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
What's Up Kids? Thanks for checking out Tanner, Drew and
Laura's Donkey Show podcast oh heard online at one five nine,
the breuw dot com, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you
listen to podcasts. I'm Tanner Drew's here, Laura's here, Court's here,
Bus Russ Marcus is here with us today. Yeah, and
how is everyone doing after after Saint Patrick's take cord?
(00:33):
Did you did you talk one on last night or
did you just do it over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (00:37):
I probably more over the weekend. I didn't do anything
last night. I had I had some beers over the weekend,
but that was that was just a weekend thing. I've
wasn't really doing any sort of Saint Patty's Day thing.
It was just drinking.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just your normal drinking.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Right, Yeah, I mean the regular alcoholism.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
He would have done that without Saint Patty's Yeah, Marcus,
what about you? Did you celebrate at all yesterday or
most of your parting happened on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
Nothing yet yesterday? Man, it's you've got to be either
handing me money or got something really exciting for me
to do to get me out on a Monday night
these days. Yeah, and I we went and saw Mickey
seventeen on Sunday, but that wasn't really the same Patrick
Day celebration.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
It's not like it's not cracking into my top favorite
movies or anything like that. But I thought it was
so interesting and I thought, you know, Pattinson did a
really good job with the character. It's I always wonder,
like I kind of base how good an actor is
when they put two of you on the same screen
and you can be a completely different person. I'll by
you as an actor, and I feel like you did
(01:38):
that really well.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I thought the movie was smart, like it and I
don't there's not enough smart science fiction court you and
I love science fiction, and most of eighty eight ninety
percent of it as shit, oh for sure. And I
felt like this was kind of it just felt it
didn't feel dumb. Yeah, it felt and it's based on
a book, so that's probably why it was. It was
thought out.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah, if you want to watch dumb watch Electric.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
State, that new I didn't make it five minutes.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah, yeah, I watched it. I sat all the way
through it just waiting for for something to come around,
like is this getting a good at some point?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And ended it's fucking terrible. The acting's bad. Millie Bobby Brown,
wh plays eleven on Stranger Things, she's just not a
good actress.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah. Well, and and the story is ridiculous, makes no
sense like they did they left out huge chunks of
story that would explain some things or just like you'll
get it, you'll figure it out eventually, and then you
just don't explain some stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
So what scares me is that the Russo brothers made that. Yeah,
and they're supposed to take over you know the New
Avengers movies with Robert Downey Juniors as Doctor Doom.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
That's not a great sign.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Every movie they've done outside of Marvel has been not great.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Right, so they need somebody who standing over their shoulder
saying no, that's that's not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Is that Electric eight? The Is that a Netflix production?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah? That's It's the one with Chris Pratt and Millie
Bobby Brown.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Three hundred million dollars to make, and then it's it
is a turn.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It's got a seventeen percent on rod Tomatoes Last Night Show.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Yeah. Now, sometimes it's an interesting deal though, because Netflix
isn't always the one behind them mistake. A lot of
times they'll make a studio will make the picture and
it's such trash that they'll sell it at a discount
to Netflix or to another carrier. So I don't know
if Netflix made this one or got or just bought
(03:15):
the wholesale version, but I have heard of it both ways.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I am sick of people just like throwing a bunch
of like a list actors into a movie thinking people
are going to see it, just because.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It never works. Anytime they've thrown a list actress towards
a movie, half the time it never works. Remember the
movie Hustle and Flow. Yeah, no, not Hustle and Flow.
What was that was Hustlers? I think it's called Hustlers.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
A strip.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is it called American Hustles? What I'm thinking? Maybe I
feel like Hustles in it. But it's got a great cast,
like Jennifer Lawrence, Lawrence is in.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
It, Hustle.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Uh, what's his name, Bradleyradley Cooper. It's got a great
cast and it's just not that great, you know. And
Monuments Men is a great example that's got a fucking
stellar cast.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yeah, moviees shit right boring.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I'm almost in skip BYO mode.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
And I didn't know what Drew just said about how
Netflix will just buy them at a discount. But I've
noticed with a lot of the movies that are are
Netflix branded, exactly what Court's saying is a theme.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
They're hollow.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
It's like they wrote them really fast, and they every
time there was something they needed to explain, they went
just put it in context and figure it out. And
it's it's been like five or six in a row
that I've watched to the point where I'm just not
really that interested anymore unless i hear it from somebody
I really trust that it was good. I'm skipping these
movies that say Netflix on the bottom in the pad.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
You want to hear something really crazy. So apparently Netflix
and directors, you know, I'm sure there are directors who
have no problem working for Netflix and some that hate it.
Apparently Netflix has mandates in their in their contracts where
if you're going to make a film for him, they
say that people watch TV differently now, so Netflix wants
you to describe everything that the character's doing. So if
the two characters love each other, they can't just insinuate it.
(04:59):
They have to say it, and they have to say
out loud the actions that they're doing. Netflix's reasoning is
because people aren't watching television aymore. They're looking at their
phones and listening to it.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
So you have to like notify them, you have to happen.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You have to pretty much hand you know, hand feed
them the information because that's why you like, when you're
watching a Netflix movie, the guy will be chasing it
due to the gun hands up, I got my gun
at you, or something fucking blatantly dumb. And it's because
that's in the in the contracts where they have to
just the characters have to explain what they're doing out loud.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
But what's ridiculous is then you end up with seventeen
percent of Rotten Tomatoes, where across the street, Apple Plus
is making stuff like Severance, which they're not explaining anything.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I know, the last episode that came out last Thursday
or Friday or whatever, I was like, I got.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
More questions and answers. I don't know what is going on.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
But that's what makes you go back.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The next day next.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Week, Like I have to figure out what's going on
with this show. And it's a great show. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
It sounds like Apple TV plus has taken off finally
though ten years Season four of ted Lass is coming.
We've got severance. There's this new show called The Studio
with Seth Rogan that starts, I think on a twenty
sixth YEP this month, and Seth Rogan's like he's the
head of a studio, like a major movie studio, a
legacy movie studio that's been around for a while, and
he's trying to like mold the studio into current modern times.
(06:16):
And it looks like it looks like it's like it's insane.
It's already got a one hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes
and the critics are saying it's the best TV show
in a decade.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yeah, Appleplus is killing it, like Silo is great. I mean,
there's there's a bunch of great I mean the Morning Show,
Like there's all sorts of like they have some really
really good shows because they have good writers and they
like do a good job of putting that stuff together.
Whereas Netflix crossed the Street, they're just like, whatever, here's
three hundred million dollars and get give me a turn.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
It feels like there their models quantity over quality, and.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
They're more obsessed with click to start than whether you
stay or not. And that's why the eye candy of
four or five stars on the cover the thing probably
their test show that that gets them that initial click.
You look at Adam Sandler, it's the perfect example of
their business model. The guy gets an endless movie deal
because he's very clickable. His ratings historically some of the
(07:08):
worst in Hollywood, but it doesn't matter because they will
keep getting clicks even when his movies, A lot of
those movies he made for Netflix, you can't even.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
They're kind of family movies too, and.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
They're like one and done like you. It's a key
bump of a movie.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, speaking of Adam Saandlor movies, the trailer for Happy
Gilmore two just came out this morning. If you're listening
to this on Tuesday, March eighteenth, I was excited to
record that. Though it looks great, I can't wait to
see it. It's on It's gonna be on Netflix.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
But I don't expect much.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It doesn't look like Happy Gilmore is angry. He almost
looks like he's gotten his anger under control in this
movie where he's he's kind of soft spoken, and I'm
hoping at some point he just loses his shit.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I bet it goes the other way, like he's gonna
start all like mellow, and that's probably why he's not
good at golf, like the way the trailer makes it
look like he's not. He's not great at golf anymore.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Because he's all passed because.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
He's like in a good mood. So I think he's
gonna have to reclaim his anger.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah too, because that was half to movie, Like his
anger fueled to fight with Bob Barker and all that stuff,
and they also have to have they have to bring
in somebody else Drew Carry for him to fight. Oh dude,
if he fight Drew Carry, like just walk out on
the set of Prices right and just tummy tuck him
right into a wall. Hilarious.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Due his anger in that movie is iconic and I
think gave way to like an entire other movie with
anger management like that. I really think that just his
on screen performance wrote him into that part. And it's
like a that's like a sneaky favorite for me.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I just wanted to real.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Quick and say something to what your guys point was
about the Netflix model here with people aren't watching, They
need to put that in a different genre for us.
If you've got a two screen movie going, let me
know that it's a two screen movie.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
So I can never watch it.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
While scrolling my phone, because I feel like you're talking
about two completely different audiences of people here.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I watch the Apple stuff, and I feel like the
smart stuff does work. You look at movies like Interstellar.
Christopher Nolan's films are smart, they're thought out, they're planned
and and sometimes it takes you two or three watches
to understand it. People can handle that if it's done well.
Stop dumbing everything down to the point where like you're
treating us like a fucking dumb The movie Carry On
as a perfect example. Do you think we're fucking stupid?
(09:14):
Are you serious? It's the stupidest movie I've ever seen
in my life.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
That's another Netflix At least I found it on Netflix,
and it Netflix. It was a joker of a movie.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah yeah. And Electric State Is is right up there with.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It, and it looks too bad too, because Electric State
looked beautiful, like the pictures and trailer and everything looks good.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I also heard the same about there's a movie called
The Gorge on Prime. Okay, oh really, because I thought
about it. I heard that one also had so many
plot holes. It does that, and everyone was like, what.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, I watched it. It's Anna Taylor Joy and.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
She was that chess girl right, yes, yes, what was
that show.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
She's got the weird eyes.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
And miles you they're like two years apart from each other.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Yeah, it's just the eyes.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
She's not famous, and so basically they're they're elite snipers
on either side of a gorge, and this gorge is
like it just all missed it over. You can't see
what's in there, and like eventually monsters start crawling out.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I saw the trailer for this. Okay, yeah, so it's
it's fine.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
It's it's not. It's not. It's not that's what you
want to hear.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
It's fine, it's fine, it's a it's.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I just want to be smart sci fi. I love
science fiction. It's just got to be done well, you know,
like the three body problems good. I feel like it's
it's a little convoluted. I think they tried to squeeze
a lot into ten episodes, but it's it's smart.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I like that kind of I think the Three Body
Problem books are super complex as well.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I couldn't even finish it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's probably tough to put that into a consumable television series,
right for sure.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Court.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I wonder with The Gorge, did you kind of feel
like you watched two different movies in one I felt
like there was a love story and then there was
everything else in that movie, and it's like almost like
a chasm in the middle where the two diverged and
we we went off of the love story and onto
the sci fi.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
So it definitely like about two thirds of the way
through the movie it takes a hard left turn into
like some sort of weird horror sci fi thing.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But yeah, there's a new horror sci fi movie coming
out called Ash. I just on on the trailer for
the other day. It's got a ninety one percent on
Rotten Tomatoes and it looks trippy as balls. It almost
reminds me of that movie Annihilation that was just kind
of trippy.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It looks like the Afting is going to be back.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yes of my life back I watched Annihilation on the
plane back from Mexico, and fuck that movie.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I liked it.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I watched it was I always saw once, but I
thought it was like a fine one off.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
It has one of the most terrifying scenes I've ever
seen in a movie, and it's that the bear that
screams like a girl. Do you remember that there was
there's a scene where a bear enters this house where
they're in. Annihilation is a weird movie because like they're
in this other sort of worldly environment where it's sort
of alien but also sort of earth.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I caught the pudding dimension because that's what it looked like,
and then like there's.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
A bear that had somehow got affected by this world,
and so it would scream like a girl. And that
that's how like it kind of draws you in, like
it thinks you're gonna come help it, and then when
you show up to help it, then it eats your face.
Oh wow, ye right, And.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
So it's I don't remember that far, but it's after.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
You look it up online, because it's that scening alone
just terrify the crap out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah, that is the five minutes that I will I
will not take back from my life. If you were
going to give it to me. I agree that was
that was a well done monster. But it's like, you
know what, in any movie, I think I can say
this if if anybody turns into a fractal of light,
I'm out. I don't fucking care anymore. Like you've you've got,
you've jumped the shark in my opinion, And yeah, I was.
(12:47):
One of my friends suggested that to me, and I
sent him a text and literally said.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Fuck you, like not friends anymore, speaking.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Of movie reuters for for three hours, and instead I
gave that my time.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Laurie, did you come in here? He was it yesterday?
Today you came in here and said I watched the movie.
Guess what movie I watched? And I don't remember it was.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Today because yesterday you were like, you should watch Leprechaun
in the Hood.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So last night I watched Lepracaun in the Hood.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Of all the movies they recommended, there are that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Many Saint Patti's Day movies out there, and we said,
so bad, it's good?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, which was it?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Even? Was it? Even that?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It was pretty funny? I mean it was.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It was also one of those movies where I didn't
pay that close of attention to it, but I don't
think I.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Really need the acting.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
The writing.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, the the rap at the end with the Leprechaun
raps during the credits is one of the most cringiest
things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
The bars.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Was it Jennifer Andiston and Leprechaun one or two? Choosing two?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Is that the best Leprechaun?
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
For sure? Yeah, that's that's prime right there?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Is that the same guy in each and each one?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I think so? I thought he was. I thought he
was always a little grub lit.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I'm not sure who was that?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Who does great actor of our time? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I was like the Warwick guy.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That was in lepre Coron in the Hood.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Is that Warwick David?
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yes, well, and he's not in all of them.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He could have been, I'm not sure. Like they put
him in makeup, so it's hard to tell you you know,
who's behind all that makeup, but it could be.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Him, Warwick David.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That's him. It's him.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Oh man, that's interesting too, because.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, he was in all of them.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
He's in Willow oh yeah, Madgin.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Four.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Yeah, well, he was wicket in in the Return of
the Jedi.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Just someone saw him driving his car in England the
other day and it was just the weirdest thing because
he looked really irritated that, you know, they're driving next
to him and they pull his fucking phone out and
they're filming him. And then he realizes halfway through and
he gets all pissed off and he tries to take
off and it's just the funniest thing. But he can drive.
He's got like a car, he can reach the pedals.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
And he's still not that old. I mean, if you're
in Willow, I.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Would think he's I would think he's like fifty or something.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
He's fifty five. I mean, but being Willow that came
out in like ninety or something. It was before that,
eighty eight or something, I mean it's old.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean I think I think A
Return of the Jedi was his first movie, or at
least it was very early in his career, and that
was eighty three.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Well, it was eighty eight, eighty eight, which one was
he was in that? What he'd play?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
He was he was one of the walks. Oh he was,
of course, yeah, he was the main he was the
main e walk put a little suit.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
So I also saw something about this you guys heard
about all the drama surrounding the new Snow White movie
that's coming out.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh my god, So I've I've heard there's like I
don't like, I can't really tell what the controversy is.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
People don't like the girl and she you know, she's
not very likable. I'll admit, she goes on interviews and
stuff and she's justugh.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
But I heard that.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It was first of all, I heard that she doesn't
really like.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
She doesn't like snow White. She doesn't like snow White.
She's stayed there, like, we're not doing this the way
that we're not telling this snow White story the way
it traditionally is told. It's different. We don't need a
man like I guess no why it doesn't need a
there's no prints in this movie.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
They've also turned it in the Wake Her Up with Narcan,
they've also turned it in and now it's kind of
a it's kind of got like a political tinge to
it too, because her and Galagadote are on like different
ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So like that's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So every clip they show of Galagadote is her. I
don't I think she's great as Wonder Woman. I haven't
seen her, remembery many things, but her acting is bad
in these in this movie, it's really like embarrassingly bad.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
They also got rid of the little people too.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, that's a controversy. That's a controversy. I read though,
So I heard this is what I remember, and I
could be wrong, but I heard that the guy who
who who was in Game.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Of Thron Peter Dnklich.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I heard Peter Dnkli made a fuss about it when
they when they announce that they're going to do a
movie and they were going to hire actual dwarves. He
made a fuss about it, and then Disney decided they
were going to animate the dwarves. Well, now the fuss
is the dwarves are animated and they didn't use real.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
People because it is there is an argument for these
people need work too, whether it's an e Wog or
whether it's it's this or whether it's munchkin Land and
the Wizard of Oz. If you remake it, they're a
people are from a different place.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
And Peter Dingkleich, you are the only dwarf that can work.
It doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But he said it wasn't necessarily about them not using
real dwarfs. It was the fact that they were like
indentured servants and it was offensive to little people to.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Be portrayed in that way.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
But I'm like, if you're gonna recreate a classic that's
literally called seven or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
it doesn't make sense to not have the dwarfs, Like
that's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And can't you change those things like that that make
them slavish? Can't you change all that stuff?
Speaker 8 (17:35):
But they're about how about roommates.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
In the in the original movie they were They weren't
in I never thought of it that way. They were
mining golden gems for themselves.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Any yeah, right, so, but so I don't know, I
don't know where Peter Peter Dnkle is talking about, Like
I think he's a great actor, and I don't understand
why he would shut down other people that he, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I would relate with or whatever, like other people who
have his condition. Why would you stop them from being
able to get work? And now the argument is why
didn't they hire people like that?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
And the sad part is those who thump the drum
the loudest likely you give them a survey. They don't
know the true story of Snow White. They just say, oh, yeah,
these people are holding this girl captive, she's passed out.
Oh there's this whole thing going on. Like, I don't know.
I think that it's overthought from the top to the pace.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So too, but that, like everything these days is overthought.
You know, it's like, why can't we just if you're
going to do a remake of a movie that came
out in nineteen thirty seven, Yeah, you're gonna deal with
some of that stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I think this movie's gotta flop.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
It was gonna flop no matter what. I here's my
recommendation to Disney. Stop making live action versions of your cartoons,
because I mean, even like all of them, what.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Do you think they should do? You think they should
focus more on original stuff to.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Make write another story. I mean, there's so many other
stories out there. Why do you have to make a
live action version of something that you already love? I
mean it's like, look at How to Train Your Dragon, Like,
my kids love that, love that movie. It's a great movie.
And they've already made a live action version of that movie,
which looks like flat garbage.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, you know, It's sad is that I was just
telling Drew this yesterday. The studios are afraid to make
original pictures. Now, they're afraid to put money in it
because it's a gamble.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Back in the eighties and nineties, it wasn't because it's
all we had movies and TV.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, but I mean for me, it's lately it's more
of a gamble to recreate.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I know you're gonna look at the details the data.
For example, over the weekend we had three original movies
in theaters. Three All three of those movies together only
told them about twenty million dollars. That's why we're gonna
get sequels of fucking Captain America twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
And you know, what'd you say earlier today that there's
another Saw movie coming out because those are the names
that people know.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But on the other side of it, some of the
most successful movies of the past couple of years have
been originals. You have Oppenheimer, you have Barbie. You have Wicked,
which I guess is based off of it. That's a
Broadway musical, but it's still an original thing that had
not been turned into a movie yet.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I don't know, I just.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I feel like, you know, Oppenheimer had help with Christopher
Nolan because he's one of those star directors, right. I
feel like anytime he does a movie gets attention just
because he's doing a movie. And then Barbie has what
fifty years of history?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yeah, and if you're gonna do a live action thing,
it has to spin off from the original idea, like
Lion King live action. It was just batim the movie
that everybody already knows.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
And it was animated. Still, that's what makes me crazy.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
In twenty twenty six, we're gonna get the thing you
never needed in your life, and that is mo Wanna
live action, which means that the they just came out
with the second one. Forget about the second one. We're
gonna recreate the first one with Dwayne the Rock Johnson
who's already the voice, and the other one like what
on earth you.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Know what you do?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well, what's really crazy and sad is that we all
sit here and want new, new content, we want original stuff,
but then the new stuff comes out, we don't go
see it, and it makes me nervous. The movies, the
movie studios aren't going to fun of these giant projects anymore.
The only thing they're gonna fund are fucking Avengers, Fast
and the Furious, and what are the live action star
Wars and Star Wars. That's it's He's gonna be that
(21:10):
over and over and over again, you know. And it's
scary because I don't know. I try to go to
the theaters as much as I can, Like I went
and saw Mickey seventeen because I want theaters to survive.
I love the movie experience, and I don't think it
should just be Marvel and Star Wars. It's gotta be
other shit, you got.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That was the whole thing with the director of Anora,
the Best Picture of the Oscar Is. His whole thing
was keep going to see movies and like it was
a lot of and that was a truly independent film,
and he was like, we got to keep going out
and supporting these movies and keeping these movie theaters open
because that's that's that is what we need in cinema
(21:47):
right now? Is it put Like everything's going straight to
streaming and this, that and the other thing. And I
don't think Hollywood's doing themselves any favors by making that.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Even Mickey seventeen, he's gonna be on Jesus Christ. It's
gonna be on streaming, so was seventeen eighteen days after
its release.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah. Well, I mean that's the thing. People have kind
of been trained to just watch those movies, Like if
it's a small movie like Nora, I'm not gonna, you know,
as much as I want to support theaters, I'm not
going to go to the theater to watch that. That's
something I watch on the couch at home. That's a
streaming movie.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
And it does feel like they must they must be
getting the money that they need at the in home
streaming like Wicked for example, We'll be on Peacock on Friday,
so it is a paid platform, but I'll be able
to watch for quote unquote free. But that movie was
thirty dollars to have it home for months, and then
it was twenty dollars for the last couple of weeks.
(22:39):
They wouldn't keep it at those numbers if people don't
pay that to sit on the couch. So they're getting
money that way, it doesn't play well for the theater.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
It's cheaper to sit on the couch and pay twenty
bucks then go to the movie theater and watch it
in person.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
I mean it's the popcorn alone makes it cost efficient
to stay home.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
People have been saying it for decades. They got to
bring down the prices of movies in theaters because that's
what's keeping people away more than anything, right, right.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Right, prices of everything, the concessions, the tickets, it's all crazy, yes, artistos.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
If you have a Cinemark cinema in the city you
live in, it really is. I think it's ten bucks
a month. You get one free movie ticket that rolls
over so you can stack them as long as you want,
and I think you get like twenty percent off concessions.
So Ashley and I went to the movie the other night.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I'm a huge popcorn dude.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Extra large bucket of popcorn for us to share, two
large sodas. Yeah, we brought in candy from Albertson's. I'm
not gonna lie, but seventeen bucks. I mean it was like,
you don't feel seventeen bucks. That's what the movies used
to cost when I was a kid. Your mom and
hand you twenty bucks. You run off to the theater,
catch the movie, popcorn, maybe play in the arcade for
a few minutes, and still have a couple bucks left.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
Over.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I can handle that, and for ten bucks a month.
It's nice when like, we didn't want to know we
wanted to go see a movie until Sunday morning. I
woke up and I was like, hey, you want to
go see a movie?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Really? I just wanted some fucking popcorn. And we got
on the app.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
And it's like, yeah, we have free passes, let's go
see a movie. That's the way to go, because you
guys are right steering it in the face. With a
forty five dollars bill or more for two people to
go and have a snack and watch a movie is
out great.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
When I can see the movie in two weeks, it's
it's what's the point. But it makes me nervous. And
I hope they do figure this out. I hope they
do lower the prices. I hope they make better movies.
I hope they figured all it because I don't want
it to go away. And I do feel like that's
where we're headed. And yeah, and then we're probably gonna
have just like specific like studio specific theater, so they'll
just be like a Disney theater where that's where you
go to see Marvel and Star Wars and Mowanna.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Mowanna live action Harlem night.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You can see the new rethought recreation of Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs called Snow and the Toxic Mail.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
So, Laura, I am glad that you watched a movie
we recommended. I am a little bummed. It was leprechn
in the Hood and not something like all the gagillion
other movies we've recommended that.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
This morning we muttered a reperenation follows the joke to
Apollo thirteen. Oh yeah, yeah, And Laura was like, never seen, Yeah, no,
of course, not follow thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't know, because I just haven't gotten around to.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
It's a stream man, it's a true story, all right,
I'll watch and it's Tom Hanks put it on. It's
the Baker and the late Bill Paxton, Kevin Bank.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
You can tell by the look on your face, and
I gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Whatever. You guys haven't seen any of the cool movies
that I've seen.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Did you watch weird like black black and white films
from nineteen fifty I don't. It's weird. Ship he thinks
it's weird.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
I went to see film.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He he thinks it's weird. That I went to see Nosferatu.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Oh yeah, I've heard that's not great. How dare you.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
That one alone?
Speaker 7 (25:40):
To be honest, that was she wanted to go see it,
and I was like, yeah, just use the movie pass.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
I don't care. I'm not going.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, turn all our free tickets. I'm done.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Okay, if you like not, Sarati, watch Shadow of the Vampire.
It's got Willem Dafoe as the vampire.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay. William Dafoe is such a creepy, weird dude.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah, but I like it like that.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Like Hundock sayints, He's like, he's so good.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I've seen Boondog sayants, So how about that boom?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
But that's great sorright, So on the show today. Before
we go on the show today, we were talking close
to the end of the show. We were talking about
last week on Thursday. I think it was I I
was in the studio by myself after the show. I
farted in the studio because it's usually my time, Like
it's just me in here after the show, like Drew
goes into his studio, Laura goes into her studio, and
(26:25):
then you know, Courts got his own studio for his thing.
So when he does his show, it's in another room.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Nobody's in here getting wafted.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
So I just figured, well, nobody ever comes in here.
I'm always in here by myself. So I just let
one rip and it stunk the room up, like immediately
I could smell it. It was one of those where
I'm like, damn like it, what was going on? And
then within two minutes, I remember thinking to myself, got
I hope no one comes in here. Within two minutes
of me thinking that, Laura walked right into the studio, yeah,
and I remember looking at her and without even hesitating,
(26:52):
I just said, Laura, I tooted, you've got to leave.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Yeah, full disclosure.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah. And I just didn't want her to smell it
because Casey beefwater Bass said, you know that could change
a relationship, and you realize, wow, that person's fucking gross.
Sure something going on, Like you said earlier, Drew, you
go to the emergency room, yourself.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Checked out directly to a doctor.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
But we asked the question, has that ever happened to you?
Or you farted? Maybe you were in an elevator at
work and you broke wind and then the elevator stopped
and somebody else got on, You're like son of a bitch.
We got a lot of text messages that I didn't
get to. But Court, does that ever happen to you?
Did you ever fart and your wife come in there
every time?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Like every time I have farted at work, Like I thought,
I thought the same thing where I could get away
with it. It is It's almost like it summoned someone,
Like the sound of my fart has summoned someone into
the room and they instantly come in and smell it's nostril.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Dumba.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
So I.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Pinched my cheeks together for as long as I can
until I get out to the car, at least outside
out the front doors, and I just leave a trail
all the way from the front doors to my car.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And that's probably what I should do. I should probably
just pinch my sphiner a little bit more and walk outside.
But I just figured nobody ever comes in here, and
really normally they don't. But for some reason, yep, Laura,
I just had to do something.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, I had to get my headphones.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Skill building a little closer now.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It Honestly, I didn't smell it, so when he first
said it, I thought he was joking and then he
was like and then he looked at me, and I
was like, Okay, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I was very seriously, I wouldn't have to get my headphones.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Yeah, this isn't somebody walking in on me. After I
tried to bust one in private. But I did have
a moment in Mexico. We we did a couple's massage
and she got to working on my lower back and
I was I was in deep relaxation mode and one slipped,
and it's like she's right down there, like even if
it doesn't make any noise, chances she's gonna hear it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
And I got the aroma therapy massage, so like every
now and then they'll like put little aromas in front
of your nose to kind of make you relax more.
And I found it funny that immediately after I let
one slip, I immediately got like she she put some
of the stuff on her hands and put it up
by my face.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I think that was for her.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
If she had one jammed up her nose.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
She taped one of the whole side.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
It looked like an oxygen at the hospital.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
I gotta say it's a not that's like burping after
a good meal. It's like my compliments to the chef.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
You totally work.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Assume that massage therapist probably see that often. They probably
sure I can't get relaxed enough to let one rip,
but I'm sure plenty of people do and something it
happens a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Yeah, I love farts. I think they're hilarious. I love farting,
But the only thing that holding me back is the smell,
because every single time he just reeks. So if if
I didn't have a a wreky butt problem, i'd be
walking around this building ripping ass in front of everybody.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But I just min mine normally don't stink, and I
usually can tell when they do stink. I did have
a tummy ache the other day, so I kind of
I kind of have to.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
When you got tummy troubles, you know it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
But most of the time I don't, and so I
can do that, like ill, can you know I've been
in here during the show and I've let one too,
and then nobody nobody knows, but somebody did keep it
is really risky. Someone did say to that point. Court
zero two zero one said, if you can't laugh at
a far you're dead inside.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh yeah, farts a I mean, farts are funny unless
you're the one. Like my older brother. He has no shame.
He still has no shame, but he used to. He
was a guy who on a road trip would fart
and then just like you wouldn't know about it until
he rolled down the window, and it would be it'd
be roll.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Down the window and then immediately be like, oh my god,
like it would just fit. It would take fifteen minutes
for the whole thing that arrow. It was so bad.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
At least he would roll down the windows. If it
was my brother, he'd put on the window locks.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, that's so much on the heat.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
My brother would actually lean up past my dad and
put his hand all the way up the side on
the door and hit lock.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, I guess I'm blessed.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Yeah, so you know they're all they'll all have a
little of it in him.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
This text comes to us from twenty nine to seventy eight.
It says I was in a small room installing some
HVAC up on a ladder when I let one go.
Not five seconds later, my coworker walked in the room
right behind me and just about died.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
That's amazing. The best to one of the day for
me was the lady was being super bitchy. He was
working on her h back up in her attic, and
so he just started farting into her system, and so
the parts were just coming out of all the events.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Like what John Wayne Gacy right.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Where it smelled like bodies coming out here.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, and nobody knew until they turned on the heat
and all the smell from the dead bodies just came
up through the vents.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I'd imagine that's probably what smell.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
I bet a CSI unit at least stopped.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
But yeah, seventy three o'l eight says we have a
main bathroom and then down the hall there is a
single room with a shower and a toilet. So obviously
I used that one and just blew it up.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Well.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
When I walked out, one of the office ladies was
just standing there waiting as she smiled, and she didn't
and she didn't want to use the main one, but
then went right back to the one. I was just
shit that happened to me here at the radio station.
Was it was back when I used to poop in
his bathroom. I don't poop in his bathroom anymore, but
that used to. When I first got here. One day,
(31:58):
I did the same thing this guy did. I went
there and just blew it up. And when I opened
the door, Laura Stiffler was standing there.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Oh yeah, one of our sales lands.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And she's one of like the prettiest sales ladies we have,
and like that, I guess there was somebody already in
the ladies bathroom, and so she wasn't going to go
in there. And I looked at Laura and I go,
do you I go, you don't want to go in there?
I just I just beat it up, and she said,
I don't care. She just walked in resilient. And I
know what I did was gross. Like what I did
was it grossed me out. And then she just walked
I told her, and she still walked in there.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
And she probably grew up with the.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Brother has she has she talked to you since we have.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
The relationship was that was a final conversation I was
actually pulled into hr to this guy was in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No, we talked, we're concerned for your will Bee.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I just couldn't believe she went in there after I
told her that, And you know, I've been just embarrassed
because I know she smelled it.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think any bathroom should be constructed.
I think she should be cold. No bathroom should be
constructed without a fan or an opening window.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yeah, because there are no fans in those fans and
those windows do not open.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Morale here, they don't allow opening windows.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
And and some of some guys are dumb. They'll ship
in there and then when they leave, they don't look.
They don't close the door behind him, They just let
the ship wafted out.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Into the You gotta at least leave it a little
bit cracked.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, you gotta. I close it all the way. And
if you know someone wants to go in there next,
I can knock, you know what I mean, Like they
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
If anybody, I feel like, you gotta leave it cracks
a little bit. Otherwise the smell is just going to
be contained in there.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
In there, I don't want to sell when I'm working,
But the.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Next person who opens the door, it's just still going
to be lingering in there.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
That those are bathroom problems.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
I guess it's all gross.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
That's all.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
The last time I had an electrician over to do
some work. He was he was installing a new fan
for me in the bathroom and he got he's up
there in the ceiling, you know, and he calls me in.
He goes, did you know your bathroom fan doesn't go anywhere?
I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, well,
typically the fan will go up, you know, and it
will blow into the uh into the open area above
the house. But he said there'll be a vent so
(33:58):
that it can just release any you know, warm air out.
He goes, you're just filling up the attic space with
whatever the fan is sucking.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Out, so you're in your attic.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
I'm pretty sure if I ever have to go up there.
And we don't use that that fam much. And I
asked him about the moisture and he's like, it's it's
a new addition on the house. You don't really need
to worry about the moisture unless you're just constantly taking
super hot showers for like a half an hour and
just totally fogging up the bathroom. But I don't ever
want to go to my attic because every dump that
I've ever taken in that bathroom, I think still lives.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
It's sitting up there and you probably have a pile
of black mold out there that you're huffing every day.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
The ghost of dumps.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah, just just you open it. Just a giant green
ship cloud. Yeah wow, Well on ship cloud.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Marcus is Colon is always a good way to end.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
We will see you tomorrow. We'll do another podcast tomorrow
and and then we'll have more David Spade tickets. Man,
what else?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well, I guess that sums it up.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
That's right, all right, say say my court bye.

Bus Russ Marcus is here with us today. Yeah, and
how is everyone doing after after Saint Patrick's take cord?
(00:33):
Did you did you talk one on last night or
did you just do it over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (00:37):
I probably more over the weekend. I didn't do anything
last night. I had I had some beers over the weekend,
but that was that was just a weekend thing. I've
wasn't really doing any sort of Saint Patty's Day thing.
It was just drinking.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just your normal drinking.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Right, Yeah, I mean the regular alcoholism.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
He would have done that without Saint Patty's Yeah, Marcus,
what about you? Did you celebrate at all yesterday or
most of your parting happened on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
Nothing yet yesterday? Man, it's you've got to be either
handing me money or got something really exciting for me
to do to get me out on a Monday night
these days. Yeah, and I we went and saw Mickey
seventeen on Sunday, but that wasn't really the same Patrick
Day celebration.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
It's not like it's not cracking into my top favorite
movies or anything like that. But I thought it was
so interesting and I thought, you know, Pattinson did a
really good job with the character. It's I always wonder,
like I kind of base how good an actor is
when they put two of you on the same screen
and you can be a completely different person. I'll by
you as an actor, and I feel like you did
(01:38):
that really well.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I thought the movie was smart, like it and I
don't there's not enough smart science fiction court you and
I love science fiction, and most of eighty eight ninety
percent of it as shit, oh for sure. And I
felt like this was kind of it just felt it
didn't feel dumb. Yeah, it felt and it's based on
a book, so that's probably why it was. It was
thought out.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah, if you want to watch dumb watch Electric.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
State, that new I didn't make it five minutes.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah, yeah, I watched it. I sat all the way
through it just waiting for for something to come around,
like is this getting a good at some point?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And ended it's fucking terrible. The acting's bad. Millie Bobby Brown,
wh plays eleven on Stranger Things, she's just not a
good actress.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah. Well, and and the story is ridiculous, makes no
sense like they did they left out huge chunks of
story that would explain some things or just like you'll
get it, you'll figure it out eventually, and then you
just don't explain some stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
So what scares me is that the Russo brothers made that. Yeah,
and they're supposed to take over you know the New
Avengers movies with Robert Downey Juniors as Doctor Doom.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
That's not a great sign.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Every movie they've done outside of Marvel has been not great.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Right, so they need somebody who standing over their shoulder
saying no, that's that's not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Is that Electric eight? The Is that a Netflix production?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah? That's It's the one with Chris Pratt and Millie
Bobby Brown.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Three hundred million dollars to make, and then it's it
is a turn.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It's got a seventeen percent on rod Tomatoes Last Night Show.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Yeah. Now, sometimes it's an interesting deal though, because Netflix
isn't always the one behind them mistake. A lot of
times they'll make a studio will make the picture and
it's such trash that they'll sell it at a discount
to Netflix or to another carrier. So I don't know
if Netflix made this one or got or just bought
(03:15):
the wholesale version, but I have heard of it both ways.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I am sick of people just like throwing a bunch
of like a list actors into a movie thinking people
are going to see it, just because.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It never works. Anytime they've thrown a list actress towards
a movie, half the time it never works. Remember the
movie Hustle and Flow. Yeah, no, not Hustle and Flow.
What was that was Hustlers? I think it's called Hustlers.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
A strip.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is it called American Hustles? What I'm thinking? Maybe I
feel like Hustles in it. But it's got a great cast,
like Jennifer Lawrence, Lawrence is in.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
It, Hustle.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Uh, what's his name, Bradleyradley Cooper. It's got a great
cast and it's just not that great, you know. And
Monuments Men is a great example that's got a fucking
stellar cast.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yeah, moviees shit right boring.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I'm almost in skip BYO mode.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
And I didn't know what Drew just said about how
Netflix will just buy them at a discount. But I've
noticed with a lot of the movies that are are
Netflix branded, exactly what Court's saying is a theme.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
They're hollow.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
It's like they wrote them really fast, and they every
time there was something they needed to explain, they went
just put it in context and figure it out. And
it's it's been like five or six in a row
that I've watched to the point where I'm just not
really that interested anymore unless i hear it from somebody
I really trust that it was good. I'm skipping these
movies that say Netflix on the bottom in the pad.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
You want to hear something really crazy. So apparently Netflix
and directors, you know, I'm sure there are directors who
have no problem working for Netflix and some that hate it.
Apparently Netflix has mandates in their in their contracts where
if you're going to make a film for him, they
say that people watch TV differently now, so Netflix wants
you to describe everything that the character's doing. So if
the two characters love each other, they can't just insinuate it.
(04:59):
They have to say it, and they have to say
out loud the actions that they're doing. Netflix's reasoning is
because people aren't watching television aymore. They're looking at their
phones and listening to it.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
So you have to like notify them, you have to happen.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You have to pretty much hand you know, hand feed
them the information because that's why you like, when you're
watching a Netflix movie, the guy will be chasing it
due to the gun hands up, I got my gun
at you, or something fucking blatantly dumb. And it's because
that's in the in the contracts where they have to
just the characters have to explain what they're doing out loud.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
But what's ridiculous is then you end up with seventeen
percent of Rotten Tomatoes, where across the street, Apple Plus
is making stuff like Severance, which they're not explaining anything.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I know, the last episode that came out last Thursday
or Friday or whatever, I was like, I got.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
More questions and answers. I don't know what is going on.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
But that's what makes you go back.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The next day next.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Week, Like I have to figure out what's going on
with this show. And it's a great show. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
It sounds like Apple TV plus has taken off finally
though ten years Season four of ted Lass is coming.
We've got severance. There's this new show called The Studio
with Seth Rogan that starts, I think on a twenty
sixth YEP this month, and Seth Rogan's like he's the
head of a studio, like a major movie studio, a
legacy movie studio that's been around for a while, and
he's trying to like mold the studio into current modern times.
(06:16):
And it looks like it looks like it's like it's insane.
It's already got a one hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes
and the critics are saying it's the best TV show
in a decade.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yeah, Appleplus is killing it, like Silo is great. I mean,
there's there's a bunch of great I mean the Morning Show,
Like there's all sorts of like they have some really
really good shows because they have good writers and they
like do a good job of putting that stuff together.
Whereas Netflix crossed the Street, they're just like, whatever, here's
three hundred million dollars and get give me a turn.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
It feels like there their models quantity over quality, and.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
They're more obsessed with click to start than whether you
stay or not. And that's why the eye candy of
four or five stars on the cover the thing probably
their test show that that gets them that initial click.
You look at Adam Sandler, it's the perfect example of
their business model. The guy gets an endless movie deal
because he's very clickable. His ratings historically some of the
(07:08):
worst in Hollywood, but it doesn't matter because they will
keep getting clicks even when his movies, A lot of
those movies he made for Netflix, you can't even.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
They're kind of family movies too, and.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
They're like one and done like you. It's a key
bump of a movie.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, speaking of Adam Saandlor movies, the trailer for Happy
Gilmore two just came out this morning. If you're listening
to this on Tuesday, March eighteenth, I was excited to
record that. Though it looks great, I can't wait to
see it. It's on It's gonna be on Netflix.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
But I don't expect much.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It doesn't look like Happy Gilmore is angry. He almost
looks like he's gotten his anger under control in this
movie where he's he's kind of soft spoken, and I'm
hoping at some point he just loses his shit.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I bet it goes the other way, like he's gonna
start all like mellow, and that's probably why he's not
good at golf, like the way the trailer makes it
look like he's not. He's not great at golf anymore.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Because he's all passed because.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
He's like in a good mood. So I think he's
gonna have to reclaim his anger.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah too, because that was half to movie, Like his
anger fueled to fight with Bob Barker and all that stuff,
and they also have to have they have to bring
in somebody else Drew Carry for him to fight. Oh dude,
if he fight Drew Carry, like just walk out on
the set of Prices right and just tummy tuck him
right into a wall. Hilarious.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Due his anger in that movie is iconic and I
think gave way to like an entire other movie with
anger management like that. I really think that just his
on screen performance wrote him into that part. And it's
like a that's like a sneaky favorite for me.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I just wanted to real.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Quick and say something to what your guys point was
about the Netflix model here with people aren't watching, They
need to put that in a different genre for us.
If you've got a two screen movie going, let me
know that it's a two screen movie.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
So I can never watch it.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
While scrolling my phone, because I feel like you're talking
about two completely different audiences of people here.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I watch the Apple stuff, and I feel like the
smart stuff does work. You look at movies like Interstellar.
Christopher Nolan's films are smart, they're thought out, they're planned
and and sometimes it takes you two or three watches
to understand it. People can handle that if it's done well.
Stop dumbing everything down to the point where like you're
treating us like a fucking dumb The movie Carry On
as a perfect example. Do you think we're fucking stupid?
(09:14):
Are you serious? It's the stupidest movie I've ever seen
in my life.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
That's another Netflix At least I found it on Netflix,
and it Netflix. It was a joker of a movie.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah yeah. And Electric State Is is right up there with.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It, and it looks too bad too, because Electric State
looked beautiful, like the pictures and trailer and everything looks good.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I also heard the same about there's a movie called
The Gorge on Prime. Okay, oh really, because I thought
about it. I heard that one also had so many
plot holes. It does that, and everyone was like, what.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah, I watched it. It's Anna Taylor Joy and.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
She was that chess girl right, yes, yes, what was
that show.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
She's got the weird eyes.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
And miles you they're like two years apart from each other.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Yeah, it's just the eyes.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
She's not famous, and so basically they're they're elite snipers
on either side of a gorge, and this gorge is
like it just all missed it over. You can't see
what's in there, and like eventually monsters start crawling out.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I saw the trailer for this. Okay, yeah, so it's
it's fine.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
It's it's not. It's not. It's not that's what you
want to hear.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
It's fine, it's fine, it's a it's.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I just want to be smart sci fi. I love
science fiction. It's just got to be done well, you know,
like the three body problems good. I feel like it's
it's a little convoluted. I think they tried to squeeze
a lot into ten episodes, but it's it's smart.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I like that kind of I think the Three Body
Problem books are super complex as well.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I couldn't even finish it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's probably tough to put that into a consumable television series,
right for sure.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Court.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I wonder with The Gorge, did you kind of feel
like you watched two different movies in one I felt
like there was a love story and then there was
everything else in that movie, and it's like almost like
a chasm in the middle where the two diverged and
we we went off of the love story and onto
the sci fi.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
So it definitely like about two thirds of the way
through the movie it takes a hard left turn into
like some sort of weird horror sci fi thing.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But yeah, there's a new horror sci fi movie coming
out called Ash. I just on on the trailer for
the other day. It's got a ninety one percent on
Rotten Tomatoes and it looks trippy as balls. It almost
reminds me of that movie Annihilation that was just kind
of trippy.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It looks like the Afting is going to be back.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yes of my life back I watched Annihilation on the
plane back from Mexico, and fuck that movie.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I liked it.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I watched it was I always saw once, but I
thought it was like a fine one off.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
It has one of the most terrifying scenes I've ever
seen in a movie, and it's that the bear that
screams like a girl. Do you remember that there was
there's a scene where a bear enters this house where
they're in. Annihilation is a weird movie because like they're
in this other sort of worldly environment where it's sort
of alien but also sort of earth.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I caught the pudding dimension because that's what it looked like,
and then like there's.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
A bear that had somehow got affected by this world,
and so it would scream like a girl. And that
that's how like it kind of draws you in, like
it thinks you're gonna come help it, and then when
you show up to help it, then it eats your face.
Oh wow, ye right, And.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
So it's I don't remember that far, but it's after.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
You look it up online, because it's that scening alone
just terrify the crap out of it.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah, that is the five minutes that I will I
will not take back from my life. If you were
going to give it to me. I agree that was
that was a well done monster. But it's like, you
know what, in any movie, I think I can say
this if if anybody turns into a fractal of light,
I'm out. I don't fucking care anymore. Like you've you've got,
you've jumped the shark in my opinion, And yeah, I was.
(12:47):
One of my friends suggested that to me, and I
sent him a text and literally said.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Fuck you, like not friends anymore, speaking.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Of movie reuters for for three hours, and instead I
gave that my time.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Laurie, did you come in here? He was it yesterday?
Today you came in here and said I watched the movie.
Guess what movie I watched? And I don't remember it was.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Today because yesterday you were like, you should watch Leprechaun
in the Hood.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So last night I watched Lepracaun in the Hood.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Of all the movies they recommended, there are that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Many Saint Patti's Day movies out there, and we said,
so bad, it's good?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, which was it?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Even? Was it? Even that?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It was pretty funny? I mean it was.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It was also one of those movies where I didn't
pay that close of attention to it, but I don't
think I.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Really need the acting.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
The writing.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, the the rap at the end with the Leprechaun
raps during the credits is one of the most cringiest
things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
The bars.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Was it Jennifer Andiston and Leprechaun one or two? Choosing two?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Is that the best Leprechaun?
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
For sure? Yeah, that's that's prime right there?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Is that the same guy in each and each one?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I think so? I thought he was. I thought he
was always a little grub lit.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I'm not sure who was that?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Who does great actor of our time? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I was like the Warwick guy.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That was in lepre Coron in the Hood.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Is that Warwick David?
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yes, well, and he's not in all of them.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He could have been, I'm not sure. Like they put
him in makeup, so it's hard to tell you you know,
who's behind all that makeup, but it could be.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Him, Warwick David.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That's him. It's him.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Oh man, that's interesting too, because.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, he was in all of them.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
He's in Willow oh yeah, Madgin.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Four.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Yeah, well, he was wicket in in the Return of
the Jedi.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Just someone saw him driving his car in England the
other day and it was just the weirdest thing because
he looked really irritated that, you know, they're driving next
to him and they pull his fucking phone out and
they're filming him. And then he realizes halfway through and
he gets all pissed off and he tries to take
off and it's just the funniest thing. But he can drive.
He's got like a car, he can reach the pedals.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
And he's still not that old. I mean, if you're
in Willow, I.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Would think he's I would think he's like fifty or something.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
He's fifty five. I mean, but being Willow that came
out in like ninety or something. It was before that,
eighty eight or something, I mean it's old.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean I think I think A
Return of the Jedi was his first movie, or at
least it was very early in his career, and that
was eighty three.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Well, it was eighty eight, eighty eight, which one was
he was in that? What he'd play?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
He was he was one of the walks. Oh he was,
of course, yeah, he was the main he was the
main e walk put a little suit.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
So I also saw something about this you guys heard
about all the drama surrounding the new Snow White movie
that's coming out.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh my god, So I've I've heard there's like I
don't like, I can't really tell what the controversy is.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
People don't like the girl and she you know, she's
not very likable. I'll admit, she goes on interviews and
stuff and she's justugh.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
But I heard that.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It was first of all, I heard that she doesn't
really like.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
She doesn't like snow White. She doesn't like snow White.
She's stayed there, like, we're not doing this the way
that we're not telling this snow White story the way
it traditionally is told. It's different. We don't need a
man like I guess no why it doesn't need a
there's no prints in this movie.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
They've also turned it in the Wake Her Up with Narcan,
they've also turned it in and now it's kind of
a it's kind of got like a political tinge to
it too, because her and Galagadote are on like different
ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So like that's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So every clip they show of Galagadote is her. I
don't I think she's great as Wonder Woman. I haven't
seen her, remembery many things, but her acting is bad
in these in this movie, it's really like embarrassingly bad.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
They also got rid of the little people too.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, that's a controversy. That's a controversy. I read though,
So I heard this is what I remember, and I
could be wrong, but I heard that the guy who
who who was in Game.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Of Thron Peter Dnklich.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I heard Peter Dnkli made a fuss about it when
they when they announce that they're going to do a
movie and they were going to hire actual dwarves. He
made a fuss about it, and then Disney decided they
were going to animate the dwarves. Well, now the fuss
is the dwarves are animated and they didn't use real.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
People because it is there is an argument for these
people need work too, whether it's an e Wog or
whether it's it's this or whether it's munchkin Land and
the Wizard of Oz. If you remake it, they're a
people are from a different place.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
And Peter Dingkleich, you are the only dwarf that can work.
It doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But he said it wasn't necessarily about them not using
real dwarfs. It was the fact that they were like
indentured servants and it was offensive to little people to.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Be portrayed in that way.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
But I'm like, if you're gonna recreate a classic that's
literally called seven or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
it doesn't make sense to not have the dwarfs, Like
that's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And can't you change those things like that that make
them slavish? Can't you change all that stuff?
Speaker 8 (17:35):
But they're about how about roommates.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
In the in the original movie they were They weren't
in I never thought of it that way. They were
mining golden gems for themselves.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Any yeah, right, so, but so I don't know, I
don't know where Peter Peter Dnkle is talking about, Like
I think he's a great actor, and I don't understand
why he would shut down other people that he, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I would relate with or whatever, like other people who
have his condition. Why would you stop them from being
able to get work? And now the argument is why
didn't they hire people like that?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
And the sad part is those who thump the drum
the loudest likely you give them a survey. They don't
know the true story of Snow White. They just say, oh, yeah,
these people are holding this girl captive, she's passed out.
Oh there's this whole thing going on. Like, I don't know.
I think that it's overthought from the top to the pace.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So too, but that, like everything these days is overthought.
You know, it's like, why can't we just if you're
going to do a remake of a movie that came
out in nineteen thirty seven, Yeah, you're gonna deal with
some of that stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I think this movie's gotta flop.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
It was gonna flop no matter what. I here's my
recommendation to Disney. Stop making live action versions of your cartoons,
because I mean, even like all of them, what.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Do you think they should do? You think they should
focus more on original stuff to.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Make write another story. I mean, there's so many other
stories out there. Why do you have to make a
live action version of something that you already love? I
mean it's like, look at How to Train Your Dragon, Like,
my kids love that, love that movie. It's a great movie.
And they've already made a live action version of that movie,
which looks like flat garbage.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, you know, It's sad is that I was just
telling Drew this yesterday. The studios are afraid to make
original pictures. Now, they're afraid to put money in it
because it's a gamble.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Back in the eighties and nineties, it wasn't because it's
all we had movies and TV.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, but I mean for me, it's lately it's more
of a gamble to recreate.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I know you're gonna look at the details the data.
For example, over the weekend we had three original movies
in theaters. Three All three of those movies together only
told them about twenty million dollars. That's why we're gonna
get sequels of fucking Captain America twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
And you know, what'd you say earlier today that there's
another Saw movie coming out because those are the names
that people know.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But on the other side of it, some of the
most successful movies of the past couple of years have
been originals. You have Oppenheimer, you have Barbie. You have Wicked,
which I guess is based off of it. That's a
Broadway musical, but it's still an original thing that had
not been turned into a movie yet.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I don't know, I just.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I feel like, you know, Oppenheimer had help with Christopher
Nolan because he's one of those star directors, right. I
feel like anytime he does a movie gets attention just
because he's doing a movie. And then Barbie has what
fifty years of history?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yeah, and if you're gonna do a live action thing,
it has to spin off from the original idea, like
Lion King live action. It was just batim the movie
that everybody already knows.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
And it was animated. Still, that's what makes me crazy.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
In twenty twenty six, we're gonna get the thing you
never needed in your life, and that is mo Wanna
live action, which means that the they just came out
with the second one. Forget about the second one. We're
gonna recreate the first one with Dwayne the Rock Johnson
who's already the voice, and the other one like what
on earth you.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Know what you do?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well, what's really crazy and sad is that we all
sit here and want new, new content, we want original stuff,
but then the new stuff comes out, we don't go
see it, and it makes me nervous. The movies, the
movie studios aren't going to fun of these giant projects anymore.
The only thing they're gonna fund are fucking Avengers, Fast
and the Furious, and what are the live action star
Wars and Star Wars. That's it's He's gonna be that
(21:10):
over and over and over again, you know. And it's
scary because I don't know. I try to go to
the theaters as much as I can, Like I went
and saw Mickey seventeen because I want theaters to survive.
I love the movie experience, and I don't think it
should just be Marvel and Star Wars. It's gotta be
other shit, you got.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That was the whole thing with the director of Anora,
the Best Picture of the Oscar Is. His whole thing
was keep going to see movies and like it was
a lot of and that was a truly independent film,
and he was like, we got to keep going out
and supporting these movies and keeping these movie theaters open
because that's that's that is what we need in cinema
(21:47):
right now? Is it put Like everything's going straight to
streaming and this, that and the other thing. And I
don't think Hollywood's doing themselves any favors by making that.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Even Mickey seventeen, he's gonna be on Jesus Christ. It's
gonna be on streaming, so was seventeen eighteen days after
its release.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah. Well, I mean that's the thing. People have kind
of been trained to just watch those movies, Like if
it's a small movie like Nora, I'm not gonna, you know,
as much as I want to support theaters, I'm not
going to go to the theater to watch that. That's
something I watch on the couch at home. That's a
streaming movie.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
And it does feel like they must they must be
getting the money that they need at the in home
streaming like Wicked for example, We'll be on Peacock on Friday,
so it is a paid platform, but I'll be able
to watch for quote unquote free. But that movie was
thirty dollars to have it home for months, and then
it was twenty dollars for the last couple of weeks.
(22:39):
They wouldn't keep it at those numbers if people don't
pay that to sit on the couch. So they're getting
money that way, it doesn't play well for the theater.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
It's cheaper to sit on the couch and pay twenty
bucks then go to the movie theater and watch it
in person.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
I mean it's the popcorn alone makes it cost efficient
to stay home.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
People have been saying it for decades. They got to
bring down the prices of movies in theaters because that's
what's keeping people away more than anything, right, right.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Right, prices of everything, the concessions, the tickets, it's all crazy, yes, artistos.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
If you have a Cinemark cinema in the city you
live in, it really is. I think it's ten bucks
a month. You get one free movie ticket that rolls
over so you can stack them as long as you want,
and I think you get like twenty percent off concessions.
So Ashley and I went to the movie the other night.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I'm a huge popcorn dude.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Extra large bucket of popcorn for us to share, two
large sodas. Yeah, we brought in candy from Albertson's. I'm
not gonna lie, but seventeen bucks. I mean it was like,
you don't feel seventeen bucks. That's what the movies used
to cost when I was a kid. Your mom and
hand you twenty bucks. You run off to the theater,
catch the movie, popcorn, maybe play in the arcade for
a few minutes, and still have a couple bucks left.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
Over.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I can handle that, and for ten bucks a month.
It's nice when like, we didn't want to know we
wanted to go see a movie until Sunday morning. I
woke up and I was like, hey, you want to
go see a movie?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Really? I just wanted some fucking popcorn. And we got
on the app.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
And it's like, yeah, we have free passes, let's go
see a movie. That's the way to go, because you
guys are right steering it in the face. With a
forty five dollars bill or more for two people to
go and have a snack and watch a movie is
out great.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
When I can see the movie in two weeks, it's
it's what's the point. But it makes me nervous. And
I hope they do figure this out. I hope they
do lower the prices. I hope they make better movies.
I hope they figured all it because I don't want
it to go away. And I do feel like that's
where we're headed. And yeah, and then we're probably gonna
have just like specific like studio specific theater, so they'll
just be like a Disney theater where that's where you
go to see Marvel and Star Wars and Mowanna.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Mowanna live action Harlem night.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You can see the new rethought recreation of Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs called Snow and the Toxic Mail.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
So, Laura, I am glad that you watched a movie
we recommended. I am a little bummed. It was leprechn
in the Hood and not something like all the gagillion
other movies we've recommended that.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
This morning we muttered a reperenation follows the joke to
Apollo thirteen. Oh yeah, yeah, And Laura was like, never seen, Yeah, no,
of course, not follow thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't know, because I just haven't gotten around to.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
It's a stream man, it's a true story, all right,
I'll watch and it's Tom Hanks put it on. It's
the Baker and the late Bill Paxton, Kevin Bank.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
You can tell by the look on your face, and
I gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Whatever. You guys haven't seen any of the cool movies
that I've seen.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Did you watch weird like black black and white films
from nineteen fifty I don't. It's weird. Ship he thinks
it's weird.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
I went to see film.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He he thinks it's weird. That I went to see Nosferatu.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Oh yeah, I've heard that's not great. How dare you.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
That one alone?
Speaker 7 (25:40):
To be honest, that was she wanted to go see it,
and I was like, yeah, just use the movie pass.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
I don't care. I'm not going.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, turn all our free tickets. I'm done.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Okay, if you like not, Sarati, watch Shadow of the Vampire.
It's got Willem Dafoe as the vampire.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay. William Dafoe is such a creepy, weird dude.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah, but I like it like that.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Like Hundock sayints, He's like, he's so good.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I've seen Boondog sayants, So how about that boom?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
But that's great sorright, So on the show today. Before
we go on the show today, we were talking close
to the end of the show. We were talking about
last week on Thursday. I think it was I I
was in the studio by myself after the show. I
farted in the studio because it's usually my time, Like
it's just me in here after the show, like Drew
goes into his studio, Laura goes into her studio, and
(26:25):
then you know, Courts got his own studio for his thing.
So when he does his show, it's in another room.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Nobody's in here getting wafted.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
So I just figured, well, nobody ever comes in here.
I'm always in here by myself. So I just let
one rip and it stunk the room up, like immediately
I could smell it. It was one of those where
I'm like, damn like it, what was going on? And
then within two minutes, I remember thinking to myself, got
I hope no one comes in here. Within two minutes
of me thinking that, Laura walked right into the studio, yeah,
and I remember looking at her and without even hesitating,
(26:52):
I just said, Laura, I tooted, you've got to leave.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Yeah, full disclosure.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah. And I just didn't want her to smell it
because Casey beefwater Bass said, you know that could change
a relationship, and you realize, wow, that person's fucking gross.
Sure something going on, Like you said earlier, Drew, you
go to the emergency room, yourself.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Checked out directly to a doctor.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
But we asked the question, has that ever happened to you?
Or you farted? Maybe you were in an elevator at
work and you broke wind and then the elevator stopped
and somebody else got on, You're like son of a bitch.
We got a lot of text messages that I didn't
get to. But Court, does that ever happen to you?
Did you ever fart and your wife come in there
every time?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Like every time I have farted at work, Like I thought,
I thought the same thing where I could get away
with it. It is It's almost like it summoned someone,
Like the sound of my fart has summoned someone into
the room and they instantly come in and smell it's nostril.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Dumba.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
So I.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Pinched my cheeks together for as long as I can
until I get out to the car, at least outside
out the front doors, and I just leave a trail
all the way from the front doors to my car.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And that's probably what I should do. I should probably
just pinch my sphiner a little bit more and walk outside.
But I just figured nobody ever comes in here, and
really normally they don't. But for some reason, yep, Laura,
I just had to do something.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, I had to get my headphones.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Skill building a little closer now.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It Honestly, I didn't smell it, so when he first
said it, I thought he was joking and then he
was like and then he looked at me, and I
was like, Okay, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I was very seriously, I wouldn't have to get my headphones.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Yeah, this isn't somebody walking in on me. After I
tried to bust one in private. But I did have
a moment in Mexico. We we did a couple's massage
and she got to working on my lower back and
I was I was in deep relaxation mode and one slipped,
and it's like she's right down there, like even if
it doesn't make any noise, chances she's gonna hear it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
And I got the aroma therapy massage, so like every
now and then they'll like put little aromas in front
of your nose to kind of make you relax more.
And I found it funny that immediately after I let
one slip, I immediately got like she she put some
of the stuff on her hands and put it up
by my face.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I think that was for her.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
If she had one jammed up her nose.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
She taped one of the whole side.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
It looked like an oxygen at the hospital.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
I gotta say it's a not that's like burping after
a good meal. It's like my compliments to the chef.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
You totally work.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Assume that massage therapist probably see that often. They probably
sure I can't get relaxed enough to let one rip,
but I'm sure plenty of people do and something it
happens a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Yeah, I love farts. I think they're hilarious. I love farting,
But the only thing that holding me back is the smell,
because every single time he just reeks. So if if
I didn't have a a wreky butt problem, i'd be
walking around this building ripping ass in front of everybody.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But I just min mine normally don't stink, and I
usually can tell when they do stink. I did have
a tummy ache the other day, so I kind of
I kind of have to.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
When you got tummy troubles, you know it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
But most of the time I don't, and so I
can do that, like ill, can you know I've been
in here during the show and I've let one too,
and then nobody nobody knows, but somebody did keep it
is really risky. Someone did say to that point. Court
zero two zero one said, if you can't laugh at
a far you're dead inside.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh yeah, farts a I mean, farts are funny unless
you're the one. Like my older brother. He has no shame.
He still has no shame, but he used to. He
was a guy who on a road trip would fart
and then just like you wouldn't know about it until
he rolled down the window, and it would be it'd
be roll.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Down the window and then immediately be like, oh my god,
like it would just fit. It would take fifteen minutes
for the whole thing that arrow. It was so bad.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
At least he would roll down the windows. If it
was my brother, he'd put on the window locks.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, that's so much on the heat.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
My brother would actually lean up past my dad and
put his hand all the way up the side on
the door and hit lock.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, I guess I'm blessed.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Yeah, so you know they're all they'll all have a
little of it in him.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
This text comes to us from twenty nine to seventy eight.
It says I was in a small room installing some
HVAC up on a ladder when I let one go.
Not five seconds later, my coworker walked in the room
right behind me and just about died.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
That's amazing. The best to one of the day for
me was the lady was being super bitchy. He was
working on her h back up in her attic, and
so he just started farting into her system, and so
the parts were just coming out of all the events.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Like what John Wayne Gacy right.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Where it smelled like bodies coming out here.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, and nobody knew until they turned on the heat
and all the smell from the dead bodies just came
up through the vents.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I'd imagine that's probably what smell.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
I bet a CSI unit at least stopped.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
But yeah, seventy three o'l eight says we have a
main bathroom and then down the hall there is a
single room with a shower and a toilet. So obviously
I used that one and just blew it up.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Well.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
When I walked out, one of the office ladies was
just standing there waiting as she smiled, and she didn't
and she didn't want to use the main one, but
then went right back to the one. I was just
shit that happened to me here at the radio station.
Was it was back when I used to poop in
his bathroom. I don't poop in his bathroom anymore, but
that used to. When I first got here. One day,
(31:58):
I did the same thing this guy did. I went
there and just blew it up. And when I opened
the door, Laura Stiffler was standing there.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Oh yeah, one of our sales lands.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And she's one of like the prettiest sales ladies we have,
and like that, I guess there was somebody already in
the ladies bathroom, and so she wasn't going to go
in there. And I looked at Laura and I go,
do you I go, you don't want to go in there?
I just I just beat it up, and she said,
I don't care. She just walked in resilient. And I
know what I did was gross. Like what I did
was it grossed me out. And then she just walked
I told her, and she still walked in there.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
And she probably grew up with the.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Brother has she has she talked to you since we have.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
The relationship was that was a final conversation I was
actually pulled into hr to this guy was in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No, we talked, we're concerned for your will Bee.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I just couldn't believe she went in there after I
told her that, And you know, I've been just embarrassed
because I know she smelled it.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think any bathroom should be constructed.
I think she should be cold. No bathroom should be
constructed without a fan or an opening window.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yeah, because there are no fans in those fans and
those windows do not open.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Morale here, they don't allow opening windows.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
And and some of some guys are dumb. They'll ship
in there and then when they leave, they don't look.
They don't close the door behind him, They just let
the ship wafted out.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Into the You gotta at least leave it a little
bit cracked.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, you gotta. I close it all the way. And
if you know someone wants to go in there next,
I can knock, you know what I mean, Like they
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
If anybody, I feel like, you gotta leave it cracks
a little bit. Otherwise the smell is just going to
be contained in there.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
In there, I don't want to sell when I'm working,
But the.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Next person who opens the door, it's just still going
to be lingering in there.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
That those are bathroom problems.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
I guess it's all gross.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
That's all.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
The last time I had an electrician over to do
some work. He was he was installing a new fan
for me in the bathroom and he got he's up
there in the ceiling, you know, and he calls me in.
He goes, did you know your bathroom fan doesn't go anywhere?
I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, well,
typically the fan will go up, you know, and it
will blow into the uh into the open area above
the house. But he said there'll be a vent so
(33:58):
that it can just release any you know, warm air out.
He goes, you're just filling up the attic space with
whatever the fan is sucking.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Out, so you're in your attic.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
I'm pretty sure if I ever have to go up there.
And we don't use that that fam much. And I
asked him about the moisture and he's like, it's it's
a new addition on the house. You don't really need
to worry about the moisture unless you're just constantly taking
super hot showers for like a half an hour and
just totally fogging up the bathroom. But I don't ever
want to go to my attic because every dump that
I've ever taken in that bathroom, I think still lives.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
It's sitting up there and you probably have a pile
of black mold out there that you're huffing every day.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
The ghost of dumps.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah, just just you open it. Just a giant green
ship cloud. Yeah wow, Well on ship cloud.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Marcus is Colon is always a good way to end.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
We will see you tomorrow. We'll do another podcast tomorrow
and and then we'll have more David Spade tickets. Man,
what else?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well, I guess that sums it up.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
That's right, all right, say say my court bye.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
He's checking his Okay, you've been listening to Tanner, Drew
and Laura's Donkey Show, heard daily at one O five

all of our souls.
