- 0:23Speaker 2: you're going Sunday or Monday, a lot of different theater
- 0:26Speaker 2: chains like Cinemak will offer deals where if you bring
- 0:28Speaker 2: a bucket like a Low's bucket, you can get five
- 0:31Speaker 2: gallons of popcorn for five bucks.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Nice.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Also at Regal, if you dress up in your favorite
- 0:37Speaker 2: movie character costume, you get free popcorn. One of the
- 0:41Speaker 2: theaters is actually offering a popcorn infused cocktail called the Poptail.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Sounds interesting.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You can check them out. We have a website it's
- 0:51Speaker 2: called at themovies dot co and that we'll have all

- 0:56Speaker 1: So what are we going to see this weekend? What
- 0:58Speaker 1: do you recommend?
- 0:59Speaker 2: What goes with the popcorn? Yeah, well you know it is.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I mean, if you like horror movies, it's a great
- 1:04Speaker 2: weekend horror movies. You've got Primate, which is still playing,
- 1:07Speaker 2: which is about this adorable, cuddly little chimp that turns
- 1:10Speaker 2: into this horrible monster. There is also, of course The
- 1:15Speaker 2: Bone Temple with Ray Fines and Jack O'Connell twenty eight
- 1:18Speaker 2: years later, and that is another zombie movie where the
- 1:22Speaker 2: infected are not the only bad guys. Some of the
- 1:24Speaker 2: survivors are also pretty crazy. But you've also got Labyrinth,
- 1:30Speaker 2: the David Buie movie, a Jim Henson put together so
- 1:33Speaker 2: many years ago. I can't believe this forty years anniversary
- 1:35Speaker 2: that Fadom is bringing back to theaters this weekend. So
- 1:38Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings coming back to theaters this weekend.
- 1:41Speaker 2: But finally we're you know, the Oscar nomination is going
- 1:43Speaker 2: to be An Hills next week. We just had the
- 1:44Speaker 2: Golden Globes. I was just at the Critics' Choice Awards
- 1:48Speaker 2: and I was lucky enough to talk to some of
- 1:50Speaker 2: the people who made some of the great foreign films
- 1:52Speaker 2: that are nominated this year. There's one from Iran called
- 1:54Speaker 2: It Was Just an Accident, which is an incredibly compelling film.
- 2:00Speaker 2: About a guy who finds maybe someone who tortured him
- 2:05Speaker 2: when he was taken into prison and wants to know
- 2:07Speaker 2: what to do with the guy and he has to
- 2:09Speaker 2: bring him around to other people to say is this
- 2:11Speaker 2: the same, guys, It's an incredible movie worth seeing the
- 2:14Speaker 2: big screen. Also No Other Choice, which is a Korean
- 2:18Speaker 2: film which is not a comedy, about a guy who
- 2:22Speaker 2: is out of work and looking for a job and
- 2:24Speaker 2: all the desperate things he goes through to find a job.
- 2:27Speaker 2: So two great foreign films that are up for Best
- 2:30Speaker 2: Foreign Language Film, or The Secretation which is also one
- 2:33Speaker 2: of the greatest Choice and Cold Globes. But I think
- 2:35Speaker 2: if you haven't seen the other films that are nominated
- 2:37Speaker 2: for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, I mean one
- 2:41Speaker 2: battle after another is battling it out at the Oscars
- 2:44Speaker 2: for Oscar nominations here next week with Sinners could perhaps
- 2:49Speaker 2: get an error. Or also, you know for Best Animated Films,
- 2:53Speaker 2: Utopia too is up for that, and you guys also
- 2:56Speaker 2: Toopia two. I took the kids courtesy of you, and yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 2: they really really enjoyed it. Yeah, I thought it was fantastic.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I do think it's one of those films you guys
- 3:04Speaker 2: see on the big screen because there's just so much
- 3:06Speaker 2: going on in that world. It's such a colorful, beautiful world,
- 3:09Speaker 2: and it's incredibly funny.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And it was going to ask you about Marty Supreme.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Marty Supreme. You know, I don't think there's anything to
- 3:14Speaker 2: stop Timothy Chalomey from winning Best Actor, and he certainly
- 3:17Speaker 2: will be nominated next week for the Oscars. It's two
- 3:20Speaker 2: and a half hours. It's a long movie, but it
- 3:23Speaker 2: will keep you on the edge of your seat. It
- 3:25Speaker 2: is relentless. Timothy salome is this kid who just dreams
- 3:28Speaker 2: of becoming the world's biggest table tennis champion. It's a crazy,
- 3:32Speaker 2: crazy movie and you follow him down this spiralinge journey
- 3:35Speaker 2: on his way to the top. It's a great weekend
- 3:37Speaker 2: for the movie. So, guys, I hope you do enjoy
- 3:39Speaker 2: National Popcorn Day this weekend.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Definitely Well, Harry Medved, always a pleasure to talk with you.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Thank you guys. Have a great movie weekend.
- 3:47Speaker 1: You too.
