  Speaker 1: on their hand. They were going to build an entire
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Megan universe.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Well, the first one was really popular. First was really popular.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This one not so much. I kind of just saying yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And Jason Blum in an interview recently said, yeah, we kind.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Of screwed up.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We all thought Megan was like Superman. We could do
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: anything with her. We could change genres, we could put
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: her in the summer. We could make her look different,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we could turn her from a bad guy into a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: good guy. We kind of classically overthought how powerful people's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: engagement really was with her. We had more faith in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: her than the audience, basically is what he's saying.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Says, we kind of screwed up, and that's kind of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: put all the other projects that are even in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Megan universe on hold.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he's they're.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Licking their wounds over a Blumhouse, which doesn't happen that often.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And let's see.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: In the wake of the controversial receive second season of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: HBO's Last of Us, which I don't understand why it's controversial.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's been a great season.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Series co creator and executive producer Neil Druckman has announced
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that he'll be stepping away ahead of production on season three.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: He said that he's he's got to get back to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the games division because he's the guy who wrote the game.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Why you know that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been heavily involved in the show, and he said,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I realize I'm I've been.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: My actual job and I got to get back. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: think they're asking him to leave.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of contention,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: because he's always said, as long as I'm involved, we're
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: going to stick to the game, do it exactly. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of the shots in the TV show are
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just taken right from the game. And I kind of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: wonder if it's unspoken that you know, he's he's become
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: difficult and they did ask him to step away.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm gessing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: You know, the reason that people didn't like the second
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: season as much. Is that Pedro Pascal was gone for
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: most of it. Could be but anyway, all right, he
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: really I think he was the drug. He's the driving
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: force of that thing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: People love Pedro.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And speaking of movies that are just not quite there yet,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson is out being interviewed for this Jurassic Park
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: movie that she's in.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Sean means he'll be here in a bit to review.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It about a half hour and somebody asked her about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Tower of Terror movie.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Was she in the Tower of Terror? She's involved.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: She's one of the producers really, and she's going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be in it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And this is all based on the Disneyland ride that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: not there anymore.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not there at Disneyland in Florida and other
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: parks and as a matter of fact, Tokyo Disneyland has
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Tower of Terror as well. But during a recent interview,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: she said, you know, so what's taking so long?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Here's what she said.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's a hard nut to crack, harder than you think
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: because the ride itself, there's some more to it, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's I don't want to say thin, but it's thin,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but it is kind of she says that's part of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the mystery of the ride. It's been a fun project
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to work on because it's a blue sky project. It's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: also proved to be a hard nut to crack, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we'll crack the case of it. It is taking shape,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: so okay, okay
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Good luck with that scarlet
