1:56
Speaker1: Um, Brandon, my man,
2:00
Speaker1: let's talk into it. Let's, uh, how's your week been, bro?
2:01
Speaker0: Oh, it's been great.
2:02
Speaker0: Yesterday I did this director's workshop with the
2:06
Speaker0: Modest Film Society here locally in Sacramento. And,
2:10
Speaker0: uh, I was one of the actors. So essentially all the directors
2:14
Speaker0: who took part in the workshop got to give us direction as
2:18
Speaker0: actors. So it's really helpful to keep like working on your craft.
2:22
Speaker0: And I think, um, we're gonna see more of these type of workshops coming up
2:26
Speaker0: here locally. just to give people more experience. And so I
2:30
Speaker0: think it's a great thing to keep doing that. And who—
2:33
Speaker1: you said this was
2:34
Speaker1: with Modern Spill Society?
2:35
Speaker0: Yeah.
2:36
Speaker1: Okay, dope. No, I've been to, um,
2:38
Speaker1: a couple of their things. I like, I like their come up, that they— how
2:42
Speaker1: they, they kind of risen like
2:46
Speaker1: in the Sacramento ranks and stuff like that. Because originally,
2:50
Speaker1: weren't they just doing it like that little small theater? Yeah, they just started off
2:54
Speaker1: that.
2:54
Speaker0: Yeah, it started out— I started go into their stuff about over
2:58
Speaker0: 2 years ago when they first started, and they just had a
3:02
Speaker0: couple people, and they've grown. Like, so what they— their whole point
3:06
Speaker0: is they show local films once a month,
3:10
Speaker0: every last Thursday of the month. And so you submit
3:14
Speaker0: your film for free, and it might have a chance to
3:18
Speaker0: get in to be screened. That way, before you do the festivals, you can
3:22
Speaker0: kind of gauge how the audience is going to react to your film.
3:26
Speaker0: So not only that, but you get feedback on your film.
3:29
Speaker0: So it's, I think it's really great. And then at the end of
3:33
Speaker0: the night, if your film gets drawn out of a hat,
3:37
Speaker0: you win a modest film fund.
3:40
Speaker1: Okay.
3:41
Speaker0: So then you have to make another film within
3:45
Speaker0: 30 days, similar to what, uh, Keir puts on.
3:49
Speaker1: Okay. And what was this event that you went to specifically?
3:53
Speaker0: It was through Modest Film Society and it was a director's workshop
3:57
Speaker0: and they had it at the Clara, uh, in Midtown.
4:01
Speaker1: Okay. Yeah. Okay. How many people turned out for that?
4:04
Speaker0: Uh,
4:04
Speaker0: quite a few, honestly. I think it was anywhere from about,
4:08
Speaker0: I would say about 20.
4:10
Speaker1: Okay.
4:10
Speaker0: A good amount of people though.
4:12
Speaker1: Okay.
4:12
Speaker0: Yeah.
4:13
Speaker1: Dope, dope, dope.
4:13
Speaker0: And that was the first one.
4:15
Speaker1: Okay. So, mm-hmm. And so you think they're gonna keep doing it?
4:18
Speaker0: I think so.
4:19
Speaker1: All right. Yeah. Cool. Cool. If he's trying to, if he's trying to incorporate SAG
4:23
Speaker1: into this, you know, SAG-AFTRA, let me know. I can help him out with that.
4:25
Speaker1: All right. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
4:26
Speaker0: Yeah.
4:26
Speaker1: Let him know. I'll help him out with
4:29
Speaker1: that. Um, uh, speaking of which, speaking of SAG-AFTRA, this past week,
4:33
Speaker1: our, um, uh, SAG-AFTRA Next Gen committee— Next Gen,
4:37
Speaker1: Next Gen— we had our, um, we had our second,
4:41
Speaker1: uh, mixer of the year. This one was our, it was our,
4:44
Speaker1: we called it our multi-hyphenate mixer.
4:46
Speaker0: Nice.
4:46
Speaker1: So basically just anybody who,
4:49
Speaker1: you know, after union but kind of, um, dabbles in different areas and
4:53
Speaker1: stuff like that in the entertainment business. And that was, that was dope. They said
4:56
Speaker1: it was a success, uh, they liked it. So as far as like Next Gen
4:59
Speaker1: goes, we're 2 for 2 for events, um, this year as far as being
5:03
Speaker1: a success. Uh, the thing that I like the most about this one, this was
5:07
Speaker1: like the first time, like it was, it was a mixer, but like when I
5:09
Speaker1: first walked into it, it was like, because I got there late because of the
5:11
Speaker1: traffic and whatnot, But like, it was,
5:14
Speaker1: um, it was, it was like kind of quiet at first because, you know,
5:18
Speaker1: usually you go to this, like, you know, music or whatever, stuff like that.
5:21
Speaker1: I was like, what the hell going on? Like, I walk in, everybody's like kind
5:24
Speaker1: of like in a circle or whatever.
5:26
Speaker0: That's funny.
5:29
Speaker1: Yeah, I was like, what is this, man? But then like, it was, um,
5:32
Speaker1: it was cool because everybody was just going around and just like, just giving like
5:36
Speaker1: a backstory, like who they are.
5:38
Speaker0: Okay.
5:38
Speaker1: Um,
5:40
Speaker1: um, what they do in acting and all this stuff, how we got our SAG
5:44
Speaker1: card and what we're doing now to, you know, consider ourselves like a multi-hyphenate and
5:47
Speaker1: stuff like that. But it was cool, like I said, like, because like I said,
5:51
Speaker1: usually like we go to mixers, we used to like, you know, mix and mingle,
5:53
Speaker1: but it was way more organized, way more structured than just, you know, kind of
5:57
Speaker1: like going around in a circle, everybody saying what they do. So we was able
6:00
Speaker1: to hear from everybody about what they do
6:04
Speaker1: rather than kind of pick and choose, like, oh, I want to talk to this
6:06
Speaker1: person, I want to talk to this person. It was like everybody got a chance
6:08
Speaker1: to kind of speak to everybody.
6:10
Speaker0: I like that. It was different
6:12
Speaker0: because it's not— that's not like a typical—
6:15
Speaker1: Yeah, it was like this experience.
6:16
Speaker1: Yeah, it wasn't typical and stuff like that. It was good because we had— it
6:19
Speaker1: wasn't just actors, it was also like, you know, we had staff members there too.
6:23
Speaker1: So it was a good opportunity for, um, us to even talk
6:27
Speaker1: to the staff members, or the staff members to talk to us, to kind of
6:30
Speaker1: get an understanding as far as like how,
6:32
Speaker1: um, SAG-AFTRA kind of how we work, how we're supposed to work
6:37
Speaker1: together to kind of, um, uh, build the community together. And so
6:41
Speaker1: kind of going forward, um,
6:44
Speaker1: um, uh, we kind of have an idea of how we want to
6:48
Speaker1: move and stuff all like that. And it was crazy.
6:48
Speaker0: That's great.
6:49
Speaker1: One of the
6:50
Speaker1: actresses there, she was, um, she, she was kind of— it was kind of like
6:53
Speaker1: her, um, her idea to put it on and stuff all like that.
6:56
Speaker1: And I'm gonna forget her name, but I, I'll remember it next
7:01
Speaker1: episode. I'm sorry. But, um, but she had just— she was just on an episode
7:05
Speaker1: of, um, The Pit.
7:06
Speaker0: Oh nice.
7:07
Speaker1: Yeah, she has Ella Brandon and shit like that.
7:08
Speaker1: I just scrolled through her Instagram afterwards. I was like, oh, she— oh, big things.
7:12
Speaker0: That's great, man. That's inspiring to hear that because that's,
7:15
Speaker0: that's exactly what we're all looking to get to, that next level.
7:19
Speaker0: And it's stuff like this that I feel like can get you to that next
7:23
Speaker0: level because we're all striving to be better and these are the type of things
7:27
Speaker0: that we need.
7:27
Speaker1: Yeah.
7:28
Speaker0: And it's all about community too,
7:31
Speaker0: like helping grow, help each other lift each other up
7:35
Speaker0: and keep growing together.
7:36
Speaker1: No. Yeah. And like I said, this was the first time
7:39
Speaker1: from my understanding, from what I feel like is where,
7:42
Speaker1: um, like we're a union, so we're a labor union. Anybody don't
7:47
Speaker1: understand what SAG-AFTRA is, there's kind of like this label, like famous to be like,
7:50
Speaker1: no, we're just essentially a labor union, you know what I'm saying? So we're used
7:54
Speaker1: to like, you know, industry and all this type of stuff. But this was the
7:57
Speaker1: first time kind of where we was kind of integrating like community-based aspects.
8:01
Speaker0: And that's what I like. That's why I speak to that is because I think
8:05
Speaker0: it helps you too as a union as well,
8:09
Speaker0: like be stronger. I think that's only gonna help
8:12
Speaker0: the impact grow, you know, because how else,
8:15
Speaker0: maybe there's people that don't know. I would,
8:19
Speaker0: there, there might be potentially some young actors for
8:23
Speaker0: instance, that might not know, right? Like, there's— because
8:26
Speaker0: you do have to educate yourself at some point.
8:29
Speaker1: No.
8:30
Speaker1: Yeah.
8:30
Speaker0: And even like, you might not even know all the rules too. Like,
8:34
Speaker0: a lot of this I'm still learning.
8:35
Speaker1: Yeah.
8:36
Speaker0: Like, there's still things that I personally
8:38
Speaker0: can learn. And so having somebody like yourself
8:42
Speaker0: repping and being that leader, we need that.
8:45
Speaker1: Yeah. No, yeah, I appreciate that. But, um, no, that was— that's one thing that
8:49
Speaker1: I realized too, kind of like when I went out to, um, Talked to the
8:52
Speaker1: high school kids like a couple weeks ago or whatever. Yeah. And I was just
8:55
Speaker1: all like, well, they didn't really have like,
8:59
Speaker1: um, like a theater or like, you know, performing arts program as
9:03
Speaker1: it was, stuff like that. So it was kind of like weird talking to them
9:06
Speaker1: about like, you know, getting into acting or whatever. But like I said, just kind
9:10
Speaker1: of building those blocks early so they don't have
9:14
Speaker1: those, um, roadblocks that we had.
9:16
Speaker0: And what is it called?
9:18
Speaker0: Is it called Owls?
9:19
Speaker1: I don't know if that's what it was called. Yeah,
9:22
Speaker1: I don't know if it was— that's what it was called exactly, stuff like that.
9:24
Speaker1: But yeah, um, but yeah, we talked about that on the previous episode
9:28
Speaker1: for sure. Um,
9:31
Speaker1: that's how the week has been, man.
9:35
Speaker1: Uh, let's, um, shit, let's just get into it, man. Let's get
9:39
Speaker1: into these, uh, these hot topics of what's going on right now, y'all. So,
9:42
Speaker1: uh, right now we're about to get into the First segment of the show,
9:46
Speaker1: you know how we do, man. This is called the Yeah Buddy or Nobody,
9:49
Speaker1: and this is where we break down some of the hot topics or things
9:53
Speaker1: that are interesting us in the entertainment business, and we just see if this is
9:57
Speaker1: a yeah buddy situation or a nobody situation. Is this good or is this bad?
10:00
Speaker1: So let's, um, let's break it down right here. Brandon's got some hot heat
10:04
Speaker1: coming in for some new, uh, you see how I play that?
10:08
Speaker0: Yes.
10:09
Speaker1: You know what I'm saying? But yeah, some, some some new casting
10:12
Speaker1: news going on right now. Uh, let's break it down and, you know,
10:16
Speaker1: overall what we're seeing from this movie. For sure.
10:19
Speaker0: Yeah,
10:19
Speaker0: so we've got Miami Vice '85 coming out,
10:23
Speaker0: and, uh, you've got Mike teaming
10:28
Speaker0: up, and I think that's like such a big deal.
10:31
Speaker0: Um, I feel like this is going to be a box office hit,
10:36
Speaker0: like it's gonna— it might even shatter records.
10:39
Speaker1: Yeah.
10:39
Speaker0: Like,
10:39
Speaker0: and I think the casting is definitely a yeah,
10:43
Speaker0: buddy from my perspective because you're, you're joining
10:46
Speaker0: these 2 forces. Michael B. Jordan just winning an Oscar
10:51
Speaker0: is huge, right? And so he's got all the momentum in the world
10:55
Speaker0: to carry him through. And, you know, this is going to be action-packed.
11:00
Speaker0: I hear it's going to be filmed in IMAX. So having
11:04
Speaker0: that, we don't even know what the budget is, but we can
11:08
Speaker0: expect like this budget's gonna be huge. And so I think
11:13
Speaker0: those 2 main actors, it's gonna be really interesting to follow this film
11:17
Speaker0: throughout, uh, because it's also set in the '80s, which I
11:20
Speaker0: don't know about you, but I really like the '80s as a decade.
11:24
Speaker0: So I think this is like a perfect movie.
11:27
Speaker1: No, no, period pieces
11:28
Speaker1: are, are, are good. '80s, any, any movie that takes place in the '80s,
11:32
Speaker1: is always a good movie. Um, I'm writing down right now the,
11:37
Speaker1: the cast right now. So you have, uh, so far, so yeah, Michael B.
11:40
Speaker1: Jordan of course as Ricardo Tubbs, Austin Butler as Crockett,
11:44
Speaker1: um, John Leguizamo, I believe he was cast as the
11:48
Speaker1: villain in the movie. And then you got Camila Morrone,
11:52
Speaker1: uh, Alden Ehrenreich, I hope I pronounced that right,
11:56
Speaker1: uh, Danny Ramirez, and then Whitney Peakin. And they recently just announced,
12:00
Speaker1: uh, the latest cast member was Andrew Schultz.
12:03
Speaker0: Nice.
12:03
Speaker1: So that's— yeah,
12:05
Speaker1: you have a lot of heat there until you get to, uh, Andrew Schultz.
12:08
Speaker1: Does, does that casting kind of, um, does him adding to the cast— I
12:12
Speaker1: mean, of course he deserved it, but does that kind of, uh, throw it off
12:15
Speaker1: when you see these, these actors?
12:17
Speaker0: Yeah, I think so.
12:18
Speaker0: I think there could have been maybe a few other options, and maybe,
12:22
Speaker0: who knows, maybe they're gonna add to it a little bit. And that's what's going
12:25
Speaker0: to be fun to like follow this because as you know, people can drop out,
12:29
Speaker0: stuff can happen.
12:31
Speaker1: No, but Andy Schultz is
12:33
Speaker1: going to do it. Yeah, for sure.
12:38
Speaker1: But, um, that's it. So Miami Vice '85,
12:43
Speaker1: it's another reboot. How would you—
12:48
Speaker1: from speaking about how tired
12:52
Speaker1: we are, like, just, just from what we hear, general consensus from like general public,
12:55
Speaker1: stuff like that. We said even to our podcast, like, tired of like,
12:58
Speaker1: um, reboots and same thing and all this type of stuff.
13:01
Speaker1: But what kind of, um, what kind of separates this?
13:06
Speaker0: Well, I think for me it's Michael B. Jordan because
13:09
Speaker0: he's an actor that I really enjoy watching, and so
13:13
Speaker0: he's gonna bring a new style To it and
13:18
Speaker0: it's gonna be different from the original. And I think it
13:22
Speaker0: started as like a TV show.
13:24
Speaker1: Yeah.
13:24
Speaker0: If I'm not mistaken.
13:25
Speaker1: Yeah.
13:26
Speaker0: It's kind of before my time, to be honest. So I didn't grow up with
13:30
Speaker0: Miami Vice.
13:30
Speaker1: Okay.
13:31
Speaker0: Um, but I'm familiar with
13:34
Speaker0: kind of what—
13:34
Speaker1: But we had the one with, um, Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.
13:38
Speaker0: That's true. Yeah, actually, I totally forgot about that. I don't know how I forgot
13:42
Speaker0: about that.
13:45
Speaker1: Because have you seen the movie?
13:48
Speaker0: If I
13:49
Speaker0: did, it was—
13:51
Speaker1: I don't remember it. That was a joke.
13:52
Speaker1: That was a joke. That's why you say you don't remember it, because— but
13:57
Speaker1: Jamie Foxx, I think that was right after he did that, followed right after Ray.
14:00
Speaker0: But, um, got it, got it. But no, and I do like Austin
14:04
Speaker0: Butler as an actor. I don't— I think he's got an interesting style
14:08
Speaker0: too. And so pairing them both up Together,
14:12
Speaker0: I wonder what their chemistry is going to be like on screen. Like, are they
14:17
Speaker0: going to be funny? Are they going to be super serious? Like, I wonder how
14:20
Speaker0: they're going to play this.
14:21
Speaker1: No, I don't think this is going to be a
14:23
Speaker1: comedy, right? So this definitely will be action.
14:26
Speaker1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Action, thriller, drama, all that type of stuff. All the sexiness that
14:30
Speaker1: you get from Miami in the '80s— the sex, the drugs, all that type of
14:34
Speaker1: stuff.
14:33
Speaker0: I just wonder if there's going to be a little bit of humor,
14:36
Speaker0: you know, incorporated in it.
14:38
Speaker1: Oh, of course they have to, they have to.
14:40
Speaker1: That's just how movies work and stuff like that. You gotta level it out.
14:42
Speaker1: But, um, it's not gonna be a comedy. Of course not, of course not.
14:46
Speaker1: Um, so yeah, we'll get— we'll give Miami Vice a yeah buddy right now.
14:51
Speaker1: Even with the Andrew Schultz casting and stuff like that, he's probably— of course he's
14:54
Speaker1: the comedic effect when he just says—
14:55
Speaker0: That's true.
14:56
Speaker1: He just— that, that's,
14:58
Speaker1: that's where the comedy is. Andrew Schultz is the, the comedy.
15:01
Speaker1: Um, so then in other, other not so
15:06
Speaker1: related news, but in other Uh, movie news, uh,
15:09
Speaker1: and, you know, franchises failing before they even get off
15:13
Speaker1: the ground. Uh, the new feature film,
15:16
Speaker1: uh, Children of Bone— Children of Blood and Bone,
15:21
Speaker1: uh, it's a novel, uh, that was adapted into a movie,
15:25
Speaker1: and it's getting ready to get the whole run. They already filmed it, all this
15:28
Speaker1: type of stuff, and they're getting ready, you know, do the whole release for
15:33
Speaker1: it, all the press run and stuff like that.
15:34
Speaker0: Yeah.
15:34
Speaker1: But they ran into a
15:35
Speaker1: little bit of a hurdle with the director. No, not the director,
15:38
Speaker1: the writer.
15:44
Speaker1: Um, turned out she said it wasn't true to her vision.
15:48
Speaker0: Oh wow.
15:48
Speaker1: Uh, but we understand how this stuff works as far
15:52
Speaker1: as like, um, you know, movie industry, movie business,
15:55
Speaker1: stuff like that. Um,
16:00
Speaker1: once you sign your stuff away, man, once you sign on that dotted
16:04
Speaker1: line, it's somebody else's issue. It may be your book,
16:06
Speaker1: But just because it's your book doesn't mean it's your movie necessarily.
16:11
Speaker1: Right.
16:11
Speaker0: And they can change stuff that you no longer have those creative
16:15
Speaker0: freedoms anymore because they're going to take whatever you wrote and they're going to spin
16:19
Speaker0: it or do whatever they want to do in that movie. So they have now
16:23
Speaker0: the control and that's why essentially you're getting bought out, right? In a sense,
16:27
Speaker0: they have the rights like you did.
16:29
Speaker1: Yeah. And so in a situation like
16:31
Speaker1: this, because this is her first Um, and the author's
16:35
Speaker1: name is— I hope I don't butcher her last name, but it's, uh, Tomi Adeyemi.
16:40
Speaker1: Um, and this is her first time having some of her, her literature
16:44
Speaker1: turned into a movie. So when you hear this,
16:47
Speaker1: we always hear crazy things, corruption going on with studios and studios
16:51
Speaker1: tinkering with things. Do you think this is more of a situation with like,
16:55
Speaker1: um, uh— Shh, shh, shh, shh.
17:00
Speaker1: Um, studios, you know, studios playing,
17:04
Speaker1: you know, doing foul play, like lying to her? Or do you
17:08
Speaker1: think this is just a case of, uh, not knowing what she's really getting into?
17:11
Speaker0: I don't— I think it's the latter. I think it's not knowing what you're getting
17:15
Speaker0: into, especially if you're new to this. Like, it's easy to get
17:19
Speaker0: taken advantage of, right? More so. So I think it's kind
17:23
Speaker0: of educating yourself on not selling out. Maybe, you know,
17:27
Speaker0: hiring a legal team, uh, get people around
17:31
Speaker0: you before you kind of sign that dotted line.
17:35
Speaker1: Yeah, because it's actually a pretty stacked cast. I'll just go through right now
17:38
Speaker1: the cast that they have, um, attached to it.
17:42
Speaker1: Uh, you know, we just did yourself,
17:45
Speaker1: everybody knows Idris Elba, Viola Davis, Regina King,
17:48
Speaker1: Domhnall Idris, Cynthia Erivo,
17:51
Speaker1: Uh, Amandla Stenberg, a whole bunch of,
17:55
Speaker1: uh, A-list cast of, uh, uh, Black actors,
17:58
Speaker1: just actors in general.
17:59
Speaker0: Is Regina King—
18:00
Speaker1: Yeah, yeah. And so,
18:03
Speaker1: um, so I know, yeah, I kind of— it's unfortunate for this
18:07
Speaker1: to happen to somebody, um, uh, a, a Black woman,
18:10
Speaker1: you know, to have this sort of experience and kind of,
18:15
Speaker1: you know, have it kind of play out like that and stuff all like that.
18:18
Speaker1: But you gotta kind of look at the opposite end too. Like, I mean,
18:22
Speaker1: the lady who wrote The Matrix was Black and she ain't get no fucking credit.
18:26
Speaker0: That's so crazy. That's crazy to me.
18:28
Speaker1: Oh, Chomsky just snatched that motherfucker up.
18:31
Speaker1: So, um, so, um, hopefully she'll get another,
18:35
Speaker1: um, opportunity if she wants it, you know what I'm saying? Hopefully she does
18:39
Speaker1: it, uh, or eventually down the road she'll kind of,
18:42
Speaker1: um, you know, feel different about it, you know? And hopefully the movie doesn't
18:46
Speaker1: suck, you know what I mean?
18:47
Speaker0: So Well, hopefully they can use this success to
18:50
Speaker0: build toward the future too.
18:52
Speaker1: Right. But we'll see if it's a success. It hasn't
18:54
Speaker1: came out yet, so it may be a flop.
18:56
Speaker0: Well, but you've got a star-studded
18:58
Speaker0: cast. I mean, Viola Davis, I mean, how can you go wrong with that?
19:02
Speaker0: For me, personally.
19:03
Speaker1: You never know. You never know. It just depends. It just depends.
19:05
Speaker1: It depends on how they decide to market the movie. It depends on how Paramount
19:09
Speaker1: decides to market the whole movie. They could just say, that's true. They could just
19:12
Speaker1: be like, we don't wanna deal with this drama and watch the whole entire thing.
19:15
Speaker1: We see that play. How many movies do we see where it's like A-list cast
19:19
Speaker1: but it just bombs? It's just—
19:20
Speaker0: It happens.
19:20
Speaker1: What about that Babylon movie?
19:22
Speaker1: Oh yeah, I remember that. Nobody remember that damn
19:26
Speaker1: movie?
19:26
Speaker0: I don't.
19:27
Speaker1: But so,
19:30
Speaker1: um, so unfortunately with this drama going on, I have to give this—
19:34
Speaker1: the drama, I have to give a no-budget. But when it comes out, I'm definitely
19:38
Speaker1: going to give it a shot too. Well, damn, I don't even know if I
19:41
Speaker1: should or not. Damn.
19:42
Speaker0: I think I— well, I'm thinking I might.
19:47
Speaker1: I'll get the book and, and get the movie too. I'll do both.
19:51
Speaker0: I just like a lot of the actors, so I don't know how I could
19:54
Speaker0: not want to see it.
19:56
Speaker1: For me, yeah, yeah, yeah,
19:57
Speaker1: yeah.
19:58
Speaker0: So I mean, the drama— like, if somebody tells
20:01
Speaker0: me not to do something, I'm probably gonna be more apt to
20:05
Speaker0: like want to, you know?
20:08
Speaker1: Yep. So yeah, I'm, uh,
20:10
Speaker1: unfortunately with that, I'm gonna have to give it a no button. All right,
20:14
Speaker1: but, um, and, and other— there's a whole bunch of movie news, whole bunch of
20:17
Speaker1: movie news, whole bunch of movie news. Um, Spider-Man: A Brand New Day, even though
20:21
Speaker1: it's been in theaters since I don't know how long, it is about to go
20:25
Speaker1: on to digital platforms, right? But they
20:29
Speaker1: just announced that they're about to re-release Spider-Man: A Brand New Day,
20:36
Speaker1: um, whatever that may mean or whatever
20:40
Speaker1: that may entail. I don't think it has anything to do with Doomsday.
20:42
Speaker0: No.
20:42
Speaker1: Right. It just adds more to the story of what happened in, you know,
20:45
Speaker1: Spider-Man: A Brand New Day.
20:46
Speaker0: I wonder if it's going to be a director's cut
20:49
Speaker0: because a lot of those tend to be longer.
20:52
Speaker0: And so I wonder if that's kind of like— because
20:56
Speaker0: I do like those bonus features, like when you— I don't know if you've watched
21:00
Speaker0: them, like director's commentary. Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. I actually learn
21:03
Speaker0: a lot more from those instances, like when I'm watching movies,
21:08
Speaker0: like I don't know how many people do this, but actually listen to the director's
21:13
Speaker0: commentary. I feel like you can learn from that. What do you think?
21:17
Speaker1: Yeah, no, I just— well, yeah, of course you can do that, but I'm just
21:19
Speaker1: talking about in terms of like what they're doing with Spider-Man: Brand New Day,
21:22
Speaker1: like re-releasing it with like extra footage. I think that's just a play to
21:26
Speaker1: get, um, more money. It's just more money.
21:30
Speaker1: It's just more money. They just— because it's at like, I think it's at like
21:34
Speaker1: $950 million right now. They're just trying to
21:38
Speaker1: re-release it so they can hit $1 billion. They want, they want the record for
21:42
Speaker1: being the first movie ever to cross $1 billion domestically.
21:46
Speaker0: You're right.
21:47
Speaker1: That's all it is.
21:47
Speaker0: That's right. Yeah, that's right.
21:50
Speaker0: I'm thinking in my like artistic—
21:52
Speaker1: No, man,
21:53
Speaker1: no, this is the money. It's just the money ploy. They don't
21:57
Speaker1: give a damn. Even with, um, the Avengers Encore. We'll get into
22:01
Speaker1: that soon. We're gonna get to Avengers: Endgame Encore in a second. Uh, that's it,
22:06
Speaker1: part of the next segment. But that's the same thing that when they just released
22:09
Speaker1: Avengers Encore, they was like, bro, this, this is just a money play. We just
22:12
Speaker1: trying to get a little extra money before doomsday come around. We just trying,
22:15
Speaker1: we just trying to melt— they just melted this cow.
22:16
Speaker0: That is definitely true.
22:18
Speaker0: Absolutely.
22:20
Speaker1: Mm-hmm. Okay, cool,
22:22
Speaker1: cool, cool, cool, cool. So for Spider-Man: Brand New Day,
22:27
Speaker1: I'm not mad at it. I'll be like, if, if they,
22:31
Speaker1: if they're, if they're this close to a billion dollars and they say, you know
22:33
Speaker1: what, fuck it, man, let's just go for it, you know, because people are gonna
22:36
Speaker1: do it anyways, right? People like, you know what I'm saying, even, even if there
22:40
Speaker1: was no extra footage in, they would just say, you know what, here you go.
22:44
Speaker1: People go, yeah, no. So for purpose of saying that, we make it— Zendaya's
22:48
Speaker1: got, you know, a billion dollars. So anything Zendaya we
22:52
Speaker1: support. So yeah, if they re-release Spider-Man:
22:56
Speaker1: Beyond the Day, cost a billion dollars, I say yeah buddy for me. I'll give
22:59
Speaker1: that a yeah buddy.
23:01
Speaker0: Yeah buddy. I, I would say yeah buddy as well.
23:03
Speaker1: Okay, cool, cool, cool. Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect.
23:06
Speaker1: So right now, after that, see what we
23:10
Speaker1: got next. Oh, so they just had more leaks
23:14
Speaker1: with, um, Avengers: Doomday because we was talking about Avengers,
23:18
Speaker1: um, Endgame Encore. So with Avengers: Endgame,
23:22
Speaker1: what happened was is they, um,
23:26
Speaker1: re-released it to the theaters and then they have 4 bonus
23:30
Speaker1: mid-credit scenes that's supposed to lead up to, you know,
23:34
Speaker1: Avengers: Doomsday and all this type of jazz and stuff like
23:37
Speaker1: that. But they all got leaked, all the scenes, the 4 scenes.
23:40
Speaker0: It's crazy.
23:41
Speaker1: Got leaked and stuff all like that. So, um, it was pretty interesting.
23:45
Speaker1: I It's going long enough, so I think,
23:48
Speaker1: um, we'll just give a gist of what happened and stuff like that. So one
23:51
Speaker1: of the scenes, which I think is probably the, the coolest one, is,
23:55
Speaker1: uh, they had,
23:57
Speaker1: um, Bruce Banner. They showed what happened to him following the events
24:01
Speaker1: of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He's in a bunker doing, you know,
24:05
Speaker1: science work on himself or whatever, and then all of a sudden Doctor Doom kind
24:08
Speaker1: of appears off screen and takes Bruce Banner. to wherever he takes him.
24:13
Speaker1: Um, and then the second one, it was— oh, it was a continuation
24:17
Speaker1: of like, you know, how Endgame ended where Steve is dancing with Peggy or whatever,
24:21
Speaker1: and then all of a sudden Loki comes in and he's like, I'm here to
24:25
Speaker1: save you all. Then another one was the TVA was seeing all the multiverses
24:29
Speaker1: and all the worlds started to collide together. And then, uh, the last one was
24:33
Speaker1: just, um, it was just, you know, uh, Doctor Doom just banging away and like
24:37
Speaker1: creating like It was a recreation of— they was reenacting the, uh, the first
24:41
Speaker1: Iron Man scene where Iron Man was breaking his helmet. And it ended up this
24:44
Speaker1: time instead of the Iron Man helmet, it was, uh, Doctor Doom's helmet or whatever.
24:47
Speaker0: And didn't they leak some of the cast too? Like in terms of,
24:51
Speaker0: uh—
24:52
Speaker1: Well, they didn't leak the cast. They announced the cast. The cast was
24:55
Speaker1: never— the cast announcements were never leaked. That was just something that they announced or
24:59
Speaker1: whatever. But I mean, as far as leaking, like those mid-credit scenes are supposed to—
25:03
Speaker1: supposedly supposed to be something for, um, that you go to the movie theaters to
25:07
Speaker1: see or whatever. But, you know, of course it just ends up right on the,
25:10
Speaker1: you know, the internet. They have had a lot of leaks as far as,
25:13
Speaker1: um, even before they had released the trailer,
25:17
Speaker1: you know, there was, um, AI recreated versions of the
25:21
Speaker1: trailer.
25:21
Speaker0: Oh, right. I've been seeing a lot of that lately. Yeah, on YouTube.
25:24
Speaker0: Yeah, like people actually think that they're the trailers
25:29
Speaker0: for movies. And, and like even a friend of mine
25:32
Speaker0: was saying, sent me the trailer, and I, I told him,
25:37
Speaker0: this is not a real movie trailer. Like, this is all AI. And so
25:41
Speaker0: I also wonder, like, with what industry this
25:46
Speaker0: could keep affecting.
25:48
Speaker1: But the thing is,
25:49
Speaker1: is that even though these are AI-recreated things,
25:54
Speaker1: they're AI-recreated things from actual footage from
25:58
Speaker1: Doomsday. That's what— that's the, that's the thing about it though.
26:02
Speaker1: That's where, you know, even though you could look at the, the trailer, you could
26:06
Speaker1: look at this AI video and be like, oh well, of course, yeah, this is
26:08
Speaker1: an AI video, but it's an AI video of actual footage
26:13
Speaker1: from Doomsday. And because it's an AI thing, you can't take
26:17
Speaker1: it down, or they can't call, you know, copyright infringement or whatever. It's like,
26:20
Speaker1: no, this is just AI.
26:21
Speaker0: That's crazy.
26:23
Speaker1: Yeah.
26:25
Speaker0: It's blowing my mind right now.
26:26
Speaker1: Yeah, that's crazy,
26:28
Speaker1: man. That's like— so like, because somebody
26:32
Speaker1: had did like, uh, like an AI recreated version
26:36
Speaker1: of the trailer that they had just released for like, um, like,
26:39
Speaker1: like D23, their expo or whatever, stuff like that. They had released the exclusive like,
26:43
Speaker1: you know, Doom thing trailer, but there was an
26:47
Speaker1: AI trailer floating around recreate the
26:51
Speaker1: exact same trailer that it was, but, you know, months ago, months back. So they've
26:55
Speaker1: been facing a lot, a lot, a lot of leaks in general.
26:59
Speaker0: And makes me wonder why. Why do you think all this is happening,
27:02
Speaker0: buddy? Like, from your perspective, why do you think these leaks are happening?
27:06
Speaker0: Do you think it's just—
27:09
Speaker1: No, I think it has to do
27:10
Speaker1: with the fact that, one, I don't think Marvel cares because they
27:14
Speaker1: don't— the more leaks that happen the less they have to worry
27:18
Speaker1: about actually putting money towards like advertising and marketing, you know, trailers and stuff
27:22
Speaker1: like that. Because all the, the leaks that they put out there or whatever,
27:26
Speaker1: it just kind of leads people to asking themselves questions like, is this real or
27:29
Speaker1: is this not real, right? Well, let me just go to the movie to see
27:31
Speaker1: if it is real or not or whatever. Or even from the standpoint of
27:36
Speaker1: Marvel fired a lot of people, you know, it could be just some pissed-off employees
27:40
Speaker1: that just got like on the way out, just like, man, let me just give
27:42
Speaker1: you a big middle finger. On the way out. And let me just give
27:46
Speaker1: this exclusive information to some, to some YouTuber friend of mine,
27:50
Speaker1: you know what I mean?
27:50
Speaker0: Right.
27:50
Speaker1: Like, yo, here, here it is, you know?
27:52
Speaker1: Like, I honestly would not be surprised to see, um,
27:56
Speaker1: Avengers: Doomsday leak, like, even like this weekend. I wouldn't be
28:00
Speaker1: surprised. No, I wouldn't be surprised to see the movie, like the actual movie Doomsday.
28:04
Speaker1: I would not be surprised if it leaks like that
28:08
Speaker1: weekend, you know what I'm saying? Like somebody just, somebody just uploaded it because they
28:12
Speaker1: did that to The Odyssey. They did that to,
28:15
Speaker1: um, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But, you know, with all the stuff that's going on
28:19
Speaker1: with, you know, Marvel Avengers, with them firing all these employees
28:23
Speaker1: and, and, you know, all this, you know, corporate restructuring and stuff like
28:28
Speaker1: that. Yeah, I would not be surprised if by the time, um, um, Avengers: Doom
28:31
Speaker1: Days comes around that that whole movie been leaked.
28:36
Speaker0: That would be insane.
28:37
Speaker1: But it would still gross a billion dollars
28:40
Speaker1: either way. It's still gonna gross over a billion dollars. It don't even matter.
28:44
Speaker1: But, um, to the leaks, for the leaks, you know what? I'm not mad at
28:47
Speaker1: the leaks. I'm not mad at the leaks. Keep the leaks coming. Keep them coming.
28:51
Speaker1: You know what I'm saying? So leaks get an yeah, buddy from me.
28:52
Speaker0: For me,
28:53
Speaker0: it's a no, buddy.
28:53
Speaker1: That's all right. No worries.
28:55
Speaker0: I'm so sorry.
28:55
Speaker1: I don't want
28:56
Speaker1: to disagree with you there.
28:57
Speaker0: I feel like with the way it got, like,
28:59
Speaker0: I feel like I would prefer it to be a surprise.
29:02
Speaker0: Like, you know, like, you don't have
29:06
Speaker0: to watch the leaks.
29:07
Speaker1: You don't have to watch leaks, but I'm all for it.
29:09
Speaker1: Like, let's just say if this is some disgruntled employee who was just pissed off
29:13
Speaker1: about how they treated him and stuff like that. It's like, you know what,
29:17
Speaker1: you know what I'm saying? Then yeah, I'm all for it. Or like I said,
29:20
Speaker1: at the end of the day, maybe they just— they don't care that it's being
29:22
Speaker1: leaked because it just saves money in their pockets because they're like, y'all are
29:26
Speaker1: doing the marketing and advertising for us.
29:28
Speaker0: It could be a strategy.
29:29
Speaker1: Could be a
29:30
Speaker1: strategy. Yeah, could be a strategy.
29:31
Speaker0: That's interesting, buddy.
29:33
Speaker1: So we'll
29:35
Speaker1: go ahead and do that. So, uh, before we get to the next section of,
29:37
Speaker1: you know, movies and stuff like that, you know, of course we gotta, uh,

30:55
Speaker1: So, uh, so last week Uh,
30:59
Speaker1: we broke down the movie Primetime. That was the, the big, big new release.
31:03
Speaker0: Yes.
31:04
Speaker1: Um, Avengers: Endgame, I didn't, I didn't consider that a new release.
31:07
Speaker1: That was just a re-release.
31:07
Speaker0: It was a re-release.
31:08
Speaker1: It was still number 1.
31:10
Speaker0: And it made $26 million, so that topped it. And then
31:14
Speaker0: we had Resident Evil next at $23.3 million.
31:18
Speaker0: Then you had Heart of the Beast, uh, starring Brad Pitt,
31:22
Speaker0: that took down $20 million. That's a new release. And then Prime Time
31:26
Speaker0: we were talking about, uh, was $19.2
31:30
Speaker0: million.
31:30
Speaker1: And that could have been at number 4 or 3. 4.
31:32
Speaker0: 4. And then
31:34
Speaker0: Forgotten Island at 5,
31:36
Speaker0: $12.8 million. And that's a new one.
31:39
Speaker1: Yeah. So that's,
31:41
Speaker1: um, as far as the, as far as like predicting the box office,
31:45
Speaker1: you were spot on with that. Um, but I'm not, we're not gonna necessarily,
31:48
Speaker1: you know, we talk about like if it's a box office hit, where, as long
31:51
Speaker1: as the, the number's right or whatever, but what qualifies as
31:56
Speaker1: a box office hit, of course, is what it makes compared to the budget that
31:59
Speaker1: actually—
31:59
Speaker0: Exactly.
32:00
Speaker1: Make and stuff like that.
32:01
Speaker0: I think that's a big thing to consider
32:03
Speaker0: because Prime Time basically made all its money back in the first
32:07
Speaker0: weekend. So that is—
32:09
Speaker1: And more. And more.
32:11
Speaker0: Yeah.
32:11
Speaker1: And more. 'Cause it only costs $15 million to produce,
32:14
Speaker1: uh, probably make it probably about another $10 million to, you know, market and
32:18
Speaker1: advertise. But, um, but to make back its initial budget
32:22
Speaker1: for the production alone, you know, by Sunday
32:25
Speaker1: afternoon, Sunday night, that, that's, that's a win there. You can't be mad at
32:29
Speaker1: that.
32:29
Speaker0: But Kendrick was also right too when he was talking about Robert Pattinson's star
32:33
Speaker0: power.
32:33
Speaker1: Yeah.
32:34
Speaker0: Like that. I feel like he was absolutely spot on with that
32:37
Speaker0: argument because that was totally true that Robert Pattinson is,
32:42
Speaker0: seems to be the guy. Mm-hmm. So if you wanna make money, hire him and
32:47
Speaker0: you'll make money. It seems like, yeah.
32:48
Speaker1: I mean, people, the problem is, is,
32:50
Speaker1: I mean, people, I mean, Twilight, we under— we underestimate Twilight.
32:53
Speaker0: Twilight.
32:54
Speaker1: We have the Earth to make the power of Twilight go
32:58
Speaker1: crazy, man. Yeah, Twilight go crazy. Shit.
33:02
Speaker1: Um, so this upcoming weekend for the box
33:05
Speaker1: office, we have the new— there's a couple ones, but the one we're going to
33:09
Speaker1: focus on, um, this week is Digger with,
33:12
Speaker1: um, Tom Cruise. Uh, this is like— I believe this is like his first movie
33:17
Speaker1: that you'll see him in since he's done Ethan Hunt as, um, and Mission:
33:21
Speaker1: Impossible, right? So this will be, um, it's interesting because this
33:25
Speaker1: is where we're starting to get down to the, the winding down of the whole
33:30
Speaker1: like summer box office season. So you're not gonna get like, you're not getting like
33:33
Speaker1: super box office hits, like, you know, things like $100 million range, but you're also
33:37
Speaker1: not getting a whole bunch of like stinkers because there's still movies that you're trying
33:41
Speaker1: to get like possibly in for like award season consideration.
33:44
Speaker0: That's what I
33:45
Speaker0: think this is.
33:46
Speaker1: That's what this is. That's what I think with Primetime as well.
33:49
Speaker0: So I agree. Yeah, because there's going to be Oscar buzz.
33:52
Speaker0: Like, they're already talking about Tom Cruise and that this is such
33:56
Speaker0: a different role than what he's played. Like, he looks completely different.
34:00
Speaker0: I don't know if you've seen the pictures of him, but he looks like this
34:03
Speaker0: old guy, and it's— it seems really like a weird movie.
34:07
Speaker1: Yeah.
34:07
Speaker0: Got John Goodman in it. There's a lot of good actors in
34:11
Speaker0: this movie. Um, and, and so I think it, it could
34:15
Speaker0: be interesting, but I wonder what your take is. Do you think this
34:18
Speaker0: is going to be A box office hit or a bomb?
34:22
Speaker1: Um, I honestly, I don't—
34:25
Speaker1: I haven't really been following it too much. I don't really see him. I don't
34:29
Speaker1: really see— if I, if I was to base this based off of
34:32
Speaker1: Tom Cruise's box office history, if it's not Mission: Impossible,
34:37
Speaker1: um, outside of Top Gun: Maverick,
34:42
Speaker1: you know, his box office is not really like— he's a movie star But
34:46
Speaker1: its box office isn't really what it, what it has been in the past or
34:49
Speaker1: whatever. Um, and because like I said, I see this as being more so like
34:53
Speaker1: maybe something they'll try to push for awards season.
34:56
Speaker1: I see it being, um,
35:03
Speaker1: I see it debuting at number 1.
35:04
Speaker0: Mm-hmm.
35:05
Speaker1: But I see it possibly doing
35:07
Speaker1: like, uh,
35:10
Speaker1: $25 million.
35:11
Speaker0: All right, so let me kind of give this bit of
35:14
Speaker0: information. Variety reports the budget of this movie was $130
35:19
Speaker0: million. So if you produce this movie— and
35:22
Speaker0: so, well, I, I've got to say Tom Cruise
35:26
Speaker0: had something to do with it because he's such a big producer
35:31
Speaker0: name. Uh, Warner Brothers.
35:33
Speaker1: That's what I thought.
35:34
Speaker1: Yeah. Oh yeah, see, this is— this— yeah, this is what they're doing. This is
35:37
Speaker1: right around When did they— when did, um, when did One Battle After
35:41
Speaker1: Another release? Yeah, it was
35:46
Speaker1: right about now, right? So this might be it.
35:48
Speaker0: I think, yeah, that might be
35:49
Speaker0: what it is. I think that's what it is. I think it's the Oscar push.
35:54
Speaker1: Yeah, and it's right around— and it's budget-wise,
35:56
Speaker1: it's about the same budget that One Battle After Another was.
36:01
Speaker1: So, um, oh yeah, I think that's what this is. They're probably pushing this,
36:05
Speaker1: but so they're not really tripping off of it. make it a budget, you know
36:08
Speaker1: what I'm saying? Like, this works for Oscars. But on the flip side to this,
36:12
Speaker1: Warner Brothers doesn't have— like, they didn't have the hits they had this
36:16
Speaker1: year like they had last year, like with The Sinners and Minecraft and
36:20
Speaker1: all that stuff. So, you know, taking that box office hit, man, I mean,
36:23
Speaker1: they better get that Oscar shit.
36:25
Speaker0: So, so are you leaning towards bomb,
36:28
Speaker0: buddy, or—
36:28
Speaker1: I think it's gonna be— I think it's gonna be a bomb.
36:31
Speaker1: I think— yeah, I think, I think, I think it's probably about like $20,
36:33
Speaker1: $25 million range. I think $25 million, probably right in line
36:38
Speaker1: with, um, what One Battle After Another debuted to.
36:40
Speaker0: I, I think I
36:41
Speaker0: agree with that. I might even go a little slightly lower.
36:44
Speaker0: So you said how much?
36:46
Speaker1: $25 million.
36:46
Speaker0: $25 million. I'm gonna go with lower.
36:49
Speaker0: I'm gonna go $22 million.
36:52
Speaker1: Okay.
36:53
Speaker0: So you're at $25 million and I'm at $22 million.
36:56
Speaker1: Yep,
36:56
Speaker1: yep.
36:56
Speaker0: The first weekend.
36:57
Speaker1: We'll see how that goes and stuff.
36:58
Speaker0: Yep. Right.
36:59
Speaker1: So that
37:00
Speaker1: was interesting.
37:01
Speaker0: Yep.
37:02
Speaker1: Show, show.
37:03
Speaker1: Interesting, interesting, interesting. So yeah, that was the box office
37:07
Speaker1: or bomb. And so right now what we getting into is, uh,
37:11
Speaker1: shoot, I think this is everybody's favorite part of the show, man. This is,
37:14
Speaker1: this is the, the, the game that we've been liking and loving and we've been,
37:17
Speaker1: been doing it for a minute now. Uh, this is what we call the Mount

45:17

Speaker1: from the reboot of Scream.
45:32

Speaker1: uh, so the ones you chose to cut were Ellen
45:40
Speaker1: Ripley from Alien, uh, Julie James, I Know What You Did Last Summer,
45:45
Speaker1: Maxine Minx from X, and then,
45:48
Speaker1: uh, the Carpenter sisters from Scream,

Speaker1: Sidney Prescott from Scream, you have Nancy Thompson from Elm Street,

Speaker1: weaving. So that's your Mount Rushmore.
