• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It's a story you need to hear to believe.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Then grab your popcorn because there is more. I start
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with a story that you'll see on the show sheet
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: at Tony kats dot com. That Halloween weekend when it
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: comes to box office, the worst weekend of the year,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the worst Halloween weekend in thirty two years.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And the worst October in three decades.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: This according to John Noulty over at Bright Part Nolty's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: been covering this stuff for decades.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And every single movie is just nonsense.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Total weekend revenue came in at forty nine point.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Eight million dollars.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: We're used to hearing about movies making that in one weekend,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: just one movie, all of them brought in nothing. Now,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: certainly we can argue that it's possible that there were
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: movies that didn't connect and no one cared about, you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Springsteen movie they made. The vast majority of people
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: weren't interested in some movie a biopic about Springsteen. Right,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about K pop demon Hunters. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a very small segment of the population that's really going
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to be down for that. They're just not making good movies.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They're not telling good stories. They're trying to resurrect old properties.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It's kind of valueless.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Then, of course, it's what they have done to movies,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: woke this and woke that and messaged this and beat
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you over the head that why can't you just be interesting,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: create good characters, tell a good story.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: That's all you have to do.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It seems that some people in how what are getting
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this message. It isn't about politics, it's about just making
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: good stuff. Jennifer Lawrence is doing an interview with The
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: New York Times and Jennifer Lawrence says.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: The following celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: who people vote for, and so then what am I doing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I don't want to start turning people off to films
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and to art that could change consciousness or change the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: world because they don't like my political opinions.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So change consciousness or change the world could be seen
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: as I would like for my movies to make money
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: so I.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Can keep making movies.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Uh, and one could could I would? I would ask
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you the question. I didn't catch all interview. I just
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: got this, this this clip right here. I will wonder
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if if being a parent has changed you at all,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: just in terms of a generalized philosophy, because it is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: true that being a parent does change I don't think
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: there's any question about that, and so I'd be curious
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if she felt that in her case, the idea that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: celebrities don't influence elections, that's not true.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: That isn't true.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: The question is what is the change, and then what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is the reaction.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's easy to.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Say that if Taylor Swift says, hey do X, with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: all the fan base that she has, it could have
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: an effect hold on I know what you're gonna say
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: about Trump.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That is not the argument.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I am saying that there is no doubt if she
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: came out and said X, it could have an effect
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: because the.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Same people are saying, well, she wasn't.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: A fan of Trump, and Trump said that she hates
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, and.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Look what happens. Ah, she fell apart and lost followers.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And if she had said support Donald Trump, we'd be
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: cheering it. So let's not think and you'd be like, oh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that's good. Now, these young people know that Trump's okay.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So let's not do that to ourselves.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Let's at least honestly address the fact that, yes, celebrity
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: can influence things. As a matter of fact, I think
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: history has shown us with examples that celebrity does influence things.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Take a look at us culturally, not influenced by celebrity.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We played Billie Eilish last week saying, hey, billionaires, why
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: are you billionaires? Give away your money? You're a millionaire
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a Billie Eilish, why do you give away your money?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Hey? Why are you looking at me? That's probably what
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: she would say. So these things do.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Have an effect because bad ideas do carry this way
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and they do carry through celebrity.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: What I find interesting here is that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Her argument is incorrect, but her the end result.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Of her argument, I think is accurate.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Let me just go about making film, let more people
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: see it. It will make more money, and it's better.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The idea that's going to affect the world can't answer that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: The idea that's going to affect your pocketbook and get
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: other people paid or make in the movie absolutely true,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So why would you get in the way of it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So her discussion of her analysis, I think is misguided.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think the end result of her analysis, I'm not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: talking politics anymore, is probably a very smart play.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It's weird when you get that right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Her explanation is absolutely incorrect, that I would say, in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: some cases just a flat out lie.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But the end result, yeah, that's probably the right thing
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to do. Bravissimo, Go make good films. That's what I say.
