• 1:19
  Speaker 2: He said, I can't do it. I'm not gonna do it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So they were out looking for someone else and they're
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: currently talking to can you guess anybody.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Not Daniel Craig somewhere, and.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. I don't know. No, yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. I saw it, but I can't remember
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: who they give me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Not an American, okay, which is the big problem. It
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: was Jermaine Clement. No, it might as well be who
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: is it? No, it was Colin Farrell. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: an irishman. An irishman.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But he can do a Oh he can. He'd be good,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: he'd be fine.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But are he busy with the penguin stuff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: No, he doesn't want to do the penguin unless it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in the movie. I'm sick of that eight hour makeup thing.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do it anymore. We're Sergeant Rock.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't have to. You just show up and put
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on his uniform, go do it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So they're talking to him about it, and this is
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: under the James Gunn DC Studios situation said that we'll
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: do it if we can find the perfect actor for
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the part. So now the Sergeant Rock character, I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know much about that character.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It was just kind of an army man. Basically, he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't have any powers or anything. It was just a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: comic book, just war comic. Yeah, back when war comics
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: were popular, you know. World War II Soldier first appeared
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in comics nineteen fifty nine. Let's see. His comic was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: one of the one of DC's longest running books. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: apparently Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger have both tried to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: get a Sergeant Rock Rock kicking it around. So maybe
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Colin Farrell will do it. Maybe Nicholas Cage starring in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Spider Man Noir. Now you remember he voiced the character
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: in the animated Yeah, this is a live action. Well
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: he's going to be No, he's apparently insisting on doing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: as much as he possibly can in the costume.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Why would they agree.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Because it's Nicholas Cage. Yes, I don't know, but you
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: know how he's one of those actors who insists on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: something and that has to it has to want me here.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But the reason that this has come up is because
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: they're they're in the middle of filming and they're taking
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a look at the you know, after you shoot it,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: you go back and you take a look at the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: daily The dailies is what it's called. And this is
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: what kind of bugs me is that they're saying, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: know what, we should release this in black and white.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, of course, you should release it in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: black and white. It shouldn't be released in color. It's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a noir, that's the whole idea. And it just made
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: me want to go back and read the comic again
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: because it was very good. So Spider Man Noir will
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: air on MGM Plus someday when it gets done. Hey,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you got a little extra money lying around? You know?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe people always try to get you to give them
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: their money to invest in things like bitcoin or something
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like that. I've got something that would actually, I think
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: make you some money. Beefsteak mine close. We can buy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the rights to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yeah, it's up
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for sale.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Really, why would that even make it that far?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You'd think it just it would be says here. Another
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: long standing intellectual property rights hit the market, drawing up
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: major interests from producers in studios WM shopping the rights
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to not only the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but Jason Bourne. See,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we could invest in any one of these looks like
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: we're getting out bid already. Glenn Powell wants to buy
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the rights.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Well how much is he like putting up more than
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we have? You?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, it looks like it anyway. So well, it
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: was a good idea for a second. For a second.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe here's another thing that we invested. Okay, you sent
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: me the Shopping.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: For Superman documentary.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That was a kickstarter that they were trying to do,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and apparently it was a couple of years ago. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: don't know where that story popped up in your feed.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But I just found it on but there you go.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And it didn't work apparently, so they never did it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They never did it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So this one, though, looks interesting, and I predicted that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: if we invest in it, we will lose our money
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: because Disney. Nearly two years ago, Disney shuttered the Galactic
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Star Cruiser down in Florida, very pricey, large scale immersive
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: hotel experience. It just didn't work. It just it was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: just too expensive and it just didn't quite work, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: so they closed it. Right Well, there was a historian
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and designer. Her name's Katie Curic. She launched a kickstarter
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: for a documentary called Halcyon Days, which promises to cover
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the ambitious launch, spectacular run, and crushing closure of the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Galactic star Cruiser. So this is a kickstarter for this documentary.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: They but you're right, Disney's not going to Disney's GOP.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: They're not going to let that out, are they. I mean,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you remember ticket prices for this were four eight hundred
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: dollars up to six thousand dollars.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I mean you can see where it would have been
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: a fun idea to take your family there, great idea, but.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was just way too way too much money,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: way too much money. So I guess we could invest
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in that. Finally, this a man to say. Fred is
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: out there promoting that TV series The Bright River or whatever, Yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Dark whatever it is long Bright River. Yeah, that show
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that she's in. Yeah, and she's been saying a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of stuff, you know, people asking her questions about her
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: career and whatnot. She said that she was offered the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: role of Gomorrah in Guardians of the Galaxy by James Gunn.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And then I'm hearing you and Bill Frost talking about
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: how tiny she is, and I'm like, well, so is
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Zoe Saldona. That's very tan but Zoe Saldana could sell it,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you know, she could sell that she's the most dangerous
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: woman in the galaxy where. I don't know if Amanda
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Seyfried could do it, but she said, I was really
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: scared of the idea of being stuck and painted a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: different color because of the amount of time it takes.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It was a giant opportunity. I had just met James
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in person. He was wonderful. Apparently someone said he didn't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: remember that this happened, but it is true. I got
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the offer for it. I molded over a couple of days.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to live in London for six months
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: out of the year. There was another movie I really
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: wanted to do, which was What a Million Ways to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Die in the Way Still seth McFarlane, which she did.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: She did instead that just went down in play.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It didn't happen at all. No, let's see, she says.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't you want to live in London for six months?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That sounds great because they talk funny. She said, Let's remember.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Let's also remember that being part of the first Marvel
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: movie that bombs ain't good for your career. And I thought,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: because this was about a talking tree and a talking
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: raccoon that it would bomb.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I can you know. I can understand that.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I can understand that.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: But saying Carrie Jackson, I remember when they first talked
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: about this movie coming out, even you were like, oh, yeah, I.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Don't know how they're going to do this. I was,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I love this, this storyline. I don't know how they're
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: going to do this. Rocket has always been one of
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: my favorite characters. I don't know how you do it. So,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I mean surprised there's that. But then to say that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Seth McFarlane's Million Ways to Die in the West was
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a better.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Bet, well, I don't know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Well, Olivia
