  Speaker 1: All right, well the uh, the popcorn bucket wars continue.
• 0:12
  I saw that. Yeah, Now, we had the Dune that's
• 0:18
  the that's the classic, that's the Yeah. I was just like,
• 0:22
  after that one, let's not even try. But then Deadpool
• 0:25
  and Wolverine came along and they did their best to
• 0:28
  outdo it. And and this is what they're doing now
• 0:32
  is popcorn buckets because they got to make their money somehow, well,
• 0:35
  coming exclusively to cinema theaters. The Gladiator to popcorn bucket.
• 0:42
  So it just looks like the coliseum. But wait, oh no,
• 0:46
  does it do something?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I see out of all the popcorn buckets, that one
• 0:50
  looks like a bucket. Yeah, it's it's just the Roman
• 0:52
  colisseum all right. But it isn't just shaped like the
• 0:56
  Roman colise It also has an ar element that allows
• 1:00
  you to watch an actual battle happen inside the coliseum itself. Okay,
• 1:05
  that's cool. How was this here? So the idea is
• 1:08
  you order your popcorn bucket, finished the popcorn, then after
• 1:11
  the movie, after the movie, see this is the problem
• 1:15
  I have with it, scan the AR code with your
• 1:18
  phone and then you can watch the battle on your
• 1:22
  phone in the popcorn bucket. Okay, not a bad idea. Yeah,
• 1:26
  I mean it. But my problem is is that you're
• 1:29
  going to be whipping out your phone during the movie
• 1:31
  and that bright light is going to be bothersome and yeah, anyway,
• 1:36
  so I'm for this, but against I'm not. Well, I'm
• 1:39
  for it, and again I'm sorry. Something I got an opinion.
• 1:45
  November twenty second is when that is in theaters, and
• 1:47
  by all accounts, it's just getting great notice. All right,
• 1:53
  This Running Man movie is shaping up to be very interesting.
• 1:58
  So I've been telling you about the casting and everything.
• 2:00
  The original was, as I recall, I enjoyed it. It
• 2:03
  was just dumb fun, you know. But they've added Michael
• 2:08
  Sarah to it. Now Now is it a comedy? Well,
• 2:12
  I think it's going to have comedic elements. I do,
• 2:15
  so it's Michael Sarah and Emilia Jones are going to
• 2:19
  join the cast. Both actors have closed deals to join
• 2:23
  Glenn Powell Paramount's adaptation of Stephen King's story that is
• 2:27
  being directed by Edgar Wright knows what he's doing. So
• 2:31
  for Sarah, the movie reunites him with Scott Pilgrim. It's
• 2:35
  the Scott Pilgrim reunion for him and the director. Emilia
• 2:39
  Jones will be playing a privileged woman blind to the
• 2:42
  oppression of the government opposite Powell's Richards. So she's Karen
• 2:48
  and Michael. Sarah will play a naive rebel who tries
• 2:51
  to help the desperate man win the game and get kid.
• 2:56
  All right, So November twenty one of twenty twenty five,
• 3:00
  so interesting. If you can find a copy of the original,
• 3:04
  I don't know if it's that easy to find, take
• 3:07
  a look and see, because I'd love to watch it again.
• 3:10
  Just the Seattle running around with Yaffatkoto in the Spandex.
• 3:15
  All right, and again Star Wars has got a problem.
• 3:20
  What well, they were planning on another movie that would
• 3:24
  take place after this last trilogy that just happened, and
• 3:28
  it was going to be a movie about Rays the Lost.
• 3:33
  The screenwriter again, Stephen Knight, has parted ways with Lucasfilm
• 3:37
  and Charmine obeyed Chenoi's planned Ray movie. It's the latest
• 3:40
  writer to depart the project after he replaced the original
• 3:44
  screenwriters Damon lindelof Justin Britt Gibson back in March of
• 3:48
  twenty twenty three. At the time, Night signed on to
• 3:51
  pen the script The nature of the project was unknown
• 3:54
  until it was confirmed months later that it would be
• 3:57
  Daisy Ridley returning as Ray Skywalker and once again if
• 4:02
  he's walked away due to creative differences. Creative difference.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You can find Running Man any number of places, Paramount Plus,
• 4:11
  Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It is, it is widely available. Then I will watch
• 4:16
  it sometime this week just to refresh my memory and
• 4:20
  see Richard Dawson in action again and finally this start running.
• 4:28
  Do you remember when you were in school it was
• 4:31
  a it was an educational game called Oregon Trail. Yeah,
• 4:36
  my kids played bad as he did as well. Liked
• 4:39
  it quite a bit. You have died of dysenteria. Are
• 4:43
  you ready for a movie version of the Oregon Trail.
• 4:46
  I'm surprised it's taking this long. Why we need it, Well,
• 4:49
  it was an it was an Apple computer game.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, going to be that animation and it's going to
• 4:56
  have live people in it, and it's going it's going
• 4:58
  to be directed by the Lucas brothers who did Judas
• 5:02
  in The Black Messiah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Their award winning Max Riseman set to pen the screenplay.
• 5:07
  The game is meant to mimic the nineteenth century Pioneer
• 5:10
  Times following a covered wagon heading west. Created in seventy one,
• 5:14
  the game reached cult status among American grade schoolers by
• 5:19
  the nineties as one of the first educational computer games
• 5:21
  allowed in school and for its hilariously dark storylines filled
• 5:25
  with broken arms, typhoid, and dysentery. The favorite. So that's
• 5:31
  and of course the if you're playing the game, get
• 5:35
  all the AMMO you can is that the hack. That's
• 5:39
  one of the hacks, Get all the ammo you can?
• 5:41
  All right, So there you. Patton Oswald says he's trying
• 5:45
  out for the part of Dysenterius.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Very exciting.
