• 4:19
  Speaker 1: his favorite swear word is bastitch. Okay, all right, smoked cigars. Yeah. Anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: here's my favorite story of the past couple of weeks.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Sony Pictures CEO Tony vince Quera, he's already stepped down.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: He stepped down on January second. He says he's not
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to blame for all of these Spider Man spinoff failures. Okay,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the reason that they failed is the critics. In an
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: interview with The La Times, looking back at seven years
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: leading Sony Pictures, he spoke about the studio success during
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: his tenure as well as the disappointments, which includes Craven
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Hunter. He said, Craven was probably the worst launch
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that we had in seven and a half years that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I've been at Sony. So that didn't work out very well,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: which I still don't understand because the film is not
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a bad film, he says, pretty universally. But then but
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: then they brought up one that was said was even worse.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Madam Webb was worse than Craven. Oh my god, it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was bad, that's what everybody said. Yeah, he said, let's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just touch on Madam web for a moment. Madam Webb
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: underperformed in the theaters because the press just crucified it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You mean they reviewed it and said it was not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a good movie.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So it was not a bad film, and it did
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: great on Netflix. You know why, because none of us
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: wanted to go to the theater to see it or
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to pay for it. Yeah, extra. For some reason, the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: press decided they didn't want us making these films Craven,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Madam Web and all of these. They also did it
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with Venom, but the audience loved Venom and made Venom
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a massive hit. These are not terrible films. They were
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just destroyed by the critics in the press for some reason.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Is they're out to get you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Morbius starring Jared Leito, did not get a mention in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that interview in the La Times. Good news for me
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because my favorite new cartoon, creature Commandos, has been renewed
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for season two. And finally this, I think this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: going to put an end to the popcorn bucket wars.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So finally this is the last one.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Because Cinemak has decided you decide what a popcorn bucket
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is you weirdos. Sunday, January nineteenth will be National Popcorn Day,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and Cinemak is making the occasion with its first ever
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: bring your own bucket Day. Okay, as long as the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: container is clean and not over four hundred ounces, you'll
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get an excel sized popcorn for five dollars at cinema.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They should have done this a long time ago.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That same day, it's offering a ten percent discount for
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: all online gift cards and anyone who follows the Chains
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Instagram and enter a contest to win a free large
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: popcorn by tagging three friends in the car. I predict trouble,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you think, Yeah, people not knowns well. Letting people bring
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: their own anything to be filled up is not a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: good as long as it's clean and under four hundred ounces,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I predict. What do you mean? This doesn't count? Is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. Going to get a lot of that,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just bring a hubcap or something like that. I don't know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: but yeah, you decide a clean HUBCA a clean hub
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as long as the hubcap is clean. They cleaned the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hubcaps up
