Wicked Radio 3-16: Out Of Touch Oscars, TSA Still Unpaid, Why Movies Stink Now · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: This is always a controversial thing since we discovered that
0:06
Speaker 1: the Oscars are just a pathetic, little mommy clutch of
0:09
Speaker 1: people complaining inside Hollywood and it's our little event and stuff.
0:13
Speaker 1: Do you cover it or not?
0:14
Speaker 2: Right?
0:14
Speaker 1: Do you talk about it or not? Well, let's get
0:16
Speaker 1: the facts out of the way first. The biggest media
0:19
Speaker 1: event in the country over the weekend was the Oscars
0:22
Speaker 1: last night. That is just fact. Don't yell at me,
0:24
Speaker 1: it just was a fact. I don't write the rules.
0:27
Speaker 1: I just pay attention to this stuff so you don't
0:29
Speaker 1: have to tell you what's going on, and I filter
0:30
Speaker 1: out the crap to get to the truth.
0:32
Speaker 2: All right.
0:33
Speaker 1: Now, that said, I promise I won't dwell on the Oscars,
0:36
Speaker 1: and I think there's a good takeaway here. A lot
0:38
Speaker 1: of people are upset about it. Now it's okay. Every
0:40
Speaker 1: time a Hollywood show happens, everybody complains about it. It's
0:44
Speaker 1: getting worse and they are like, that's where all the
0:46
Speaker 1: comedies are blah blah. Yeah, I get that, and that's
0:48
Speaker 1: all true. I'm not arguing with you, but you gotta
0:50
Speaker 1: look at it this way. It's good news because it's
0:54
Speaker 1: getting more and more pathetic every single year. They have
0:57
Speaker 1: these things. They have nothing left. I'm not gonna tell
1:00
Speaker 1: you I watched this whole thing. I'm just aware of it,
1:02
Speaker 1: and I have the important takeaways from it. That's all
1:05
Speaker 1: that you need to know about. And you should look
1:07
Speaker 1: at the Oscars, for example, their big award show Hollywood.
1:11
Speaker 1: They're just talking to themselves in like a little vacuum.
1:13
Speaker 1: It's all they have left.
1:15
Speaker 3: You know.
1:15
Speaker 1: You tend to think, oh, they're running the world. No,
1:18
Speaker 1: they're really not. It's a small, little industry award show
1:22
Speaker 1: and they get together now and they have for the
1:24
Speaker 1: past ten fifteen years, and they just complain about things.
1:26
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all it is. We'll have some clips
1:29
Speaker 1: for that at the end of this though, I discovered
1:31
Speaker 1: something very important last night. This was making the rounds.
1:33
Speaker 1: It was going viral last night. Why do movies stink? Now,
1:38
Speaker 1: it's because of the qualifications that the Oscars put on
1:43
Speaker 1: these producers of movies and content in order for them
1:46
Speaker 1: to be up for an award. It's unbelievable and it
1:49
Speaker 1: explains a lot. We'll get to that. In real news.
1:51
Speaker 1: TSA agents still aren't getting paid and they're trying to
1:53
Speaker 1: defund and are right now Department of Homeland Security and
1:57
Speaker 1: a very dangerous time for our country. You heard that right.
2:00
Speaker 1: If Virginia is unbelievable, be very very careful way you live,
2:03
Speaker 1: where you decide to live, because Virginia literally is telling
2:07
Speaker 1: their residents they're trying to pass a bill that won't
2:10
Speaker 1: allow residents, that will severely restrict gun laws except for
2:14
Speaker 1: elected politicians. You talk about the ruleser for thee and
2:18
Speaker 1: not me. We'll get to all that stuff coming up.
2:20
Speaker 1: Thanks you for hanging out with me. Appreciate you. Wicked
2:22
Speaker 1: Radio live stream buty through Friday Eastern time, X and
2:26
Speaker 1: YouTube and Facebook and the replay on all those networks,
2:29
Speaker 1: and also the audio podcast as well wherever you like
2:31
Speaker 1: to get those. Let's check in with the oscars last night.
2:34
Speaker 1: I won't dwell on this, I promise you. I know
2:36
Speaker 1: you don't care about this, but you care about the takeaway.
2:39
Speaker 1: Let's check in. Have they gotten any better? Are they?
2:41
Speaker 1: Let's see no to war I'm free podsty Okay, so
2:49
Speaker 1: they're not better the same crap. But to be fair,
2:55
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien, who's the host, he actually said that it's
2:57
Speaker 1: going to get political. They can't really stop it. But
2:59
Speaker 1: then took a dig.
3:00
Speaker 4: At everybody else.
3:01
Speaker 5: I should warn you tonight could get okay. And if
3:05
Speaker 5: that makes you uncomfortable, there's an alternate oscars being hosted
3:08
Speaker 5: by Kid Rock. Yeah, it's at the Dave and Busters
3:12
Speaker 5: down the street. A lot of tickets for that.
3:16
Speaker 1: It's probably there's a lot of people online last night
3:18
Speaker 1: who were all upset by that. It's like, oh gosh,
3:20
Speaker 1: they're still that's so insulting, and it's not. Don't be insulted.
3:23
Speaker 1: Take that for what it is. It's a win they stip.
3:26
Speaker 1: Here's the win. They still don't get the people want
3:29
Speaker 1: an alternative to what they push out there, an alternative
3:31
Speaker 1: to do everything the movies they push on you, the
3:34
Speaker 1: TV content, even a lot of stuff online. They still
3:37
Speaker 1: don't understand that, and or maybe they're threatened by it
3:40
Speaker 1: and they have to make jokes about it, you know,
3:41
Speaker 1: use making a reference to the alternative halftime Show, which
3:44
Speaker 1: got a lot of viewers. Right, they're threatened by that?
3:47
Speaker 1: How dare they? How dare somebody else not not go
3:50
Speaker 1: along with the stuff we push out there? How dare
3:53
Speaker 1: that the American people speak up and they determine what
3:55
Speaker 1: we were? We're Hollywood we'll determine what people want to see. No,
3:58
Speaker 1: it's not like that anymore. So they make their little
4:00
Speaker 1: veiled attempts. Again, what's the takeaway. It's sad. You should
4:03
Speaker 1: feel sorry for the Oscars. It's like little, this little
4:08
Speaker 1: coffee clutch of soccer moms that just get together and
4:12
Speaker 1: complain about things. That's how you have to look at
4:14
Speaker 1: Hollywood these days, because that's all it is. Like case
4:17
Speaker 1: in point this guy.
4:18
Speaker 2: As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't
4:21
Speaker 2: support free speech.
4:23
Speaker 5: I'm not at liberty to say which.
4:26
Speaker 1: Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS. Fortunately,
4:34
Speaker 1: now you can look at that as if Jimmy Kimmel
4:37
Speaker 1: is making a strong statement to where you know, he's
4:39
Speaker 1: taking a shot at everybody else. But just think about
4:41
Speaker 1: it for a second. Remember that whole theme about sad
4:44
Speaker 1: Hollywood is just sad now, and the Oscars are sad
4:46
Speaker 1: an example of that. Look at Jimmy Kimmel complaining about
4:50
Speaker 1: not having free speech as he's saying it on a
4:53
Speaker 1: stage televised to the world. Now you can even take
4:56
Speaker 1: this as they're just dumb. They don't realize that. I
4:58
Speaker 1: don't think they don't think he's done. I think he
5:00
Speaker 1: just realizes that we're onto the game now. I think
5:04
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Sad. I'll be upset about the
5:07
Speaker 1: Oscars and you're thinking, well, I don't watched the Oscars. No,
5:09
Speaker 1: And I heard it said last night. Somebody posted this
5:11
Speaker 1: and it went huge. It got a lot of likes.
5:13
Speaker 1: And this wasn't me writing this, but I thought it
5:15
Speaker 1: was amazing. Said, no heterosexual conservative man is watching the
5:21
Speaker 1: Oscars anyway, And I think that's actually true. And I'm
5:24
Speaker 1: not telling you that I watched the Oscars. I just
5:25
Speaker 1: have a takeaway for it. To keep an eye on
5:27
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. Like I said, though, so you
5:29
Speaker 1: don't have to, but it's interesting. I don't know what
5:32
Speaker 1: kind of numbers it's gonna do. ABC is going to
5:34
Speaker 1: come out and say that because they work in the
5:36
Speaker 1: streaming numbers now too, and they'll say it was bigger
5:38
Speaker 1: than last year, or it was bigger. But think about
5:40
Speaker 1: the impact Oscar. Think about for a second when maybe
5:44
Speaker 1: you actually were interested in the Oscars years ago, nineties even,
5:48
Speaker 1: but the eighties for sure, late seventies they were huge
5:50
Speaker 1: with all those classic Hollywood stars, right when it wasn't
5:53
Speaker 1: as woke and they weren't on complaining about politics all
5:56
Speaker 1: the time. And it did back in the Vietnam days,
5:58
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like this. Think about that. It made
6:01
Speaker 1: a cultural impact and it was big and people were
6:03
Speaker 1: talking about it. Not now. Don't think that there's big
6:06
Speaker 1: powerful force anymore, because they're not. It's remember what the
6:10
Speaker 1: Oscars are. It's an inside industry award. They happen to
6:13
Speaker 1: televise because there's a lot of Hollywood celebrities there. That's
6:16
Speaker 1: all it is. But again, something amazing came out of
6:20
Speaker 1: this last night. I got forty in a couple of minutes.
6:22
Speaker 1: The rules they apply on anybody that enters anything for
6:25
Speaker 1: an Oscar because anybody that makes any kind of film
6:27
Speaker 1: they want that award. They still want it right so
6:29
Speaker 1: they can put it on their resume, They put it
6:30
Speaker 1: on their mantle in their office. It gets them more work.
6:34
Speaker 1: What you have to do to qualify for to be
6:38
Speaker 1: Oscar even nominated these days is unbelievable, and it explains why,
6:43
Speaker 1: for the most part, movies stink these days and they
6:45
Speaker 1: don't come up with anything new. All right, let's move
6:47
Speaker 1: on from that. What's going on, TSA is that are
6:50
Speaker 1: they getting paid TSA agents. Do we have DHS now
6:53
Speaker 1: in a dangerous time when we're you know, at war
6:56
Speaker 1: with Iran? Is that happening?
6:57
Speaker 5: No?
6:57
Speaker 1: Still No. Here's something interesting though the Sunday talk shows,
7:01
Speaker 1: and this was CBS's Face the Nation, to Face the Nation,
7:05
Speaker 1: I think Rush used to call it. They're getting grilled.
7:08
Speaker 1: Democrats are and their whole talking point on this, and
7:12
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Did they know how unpopular this is to defund,
7:17
Speaker 1: to not pay TSA agents. For example, as part of
7:20
Speaker 1: DHS on.
7:20
Speaker 4: The facts, the Senate failed to advance that Homeland security
7:23
Speaker 4: funding for the fourth time yesterday. We have airline CEO's
7:27
Speaker 4: fault in Congress for not paying TSA agents. I've got
7:30
Speaker 4: video TSA workers on food lines because they just missed
7:35
Speaker 4: their second paycheck, half paycheck last time, full paycheck this Friday.
7:39
Speaker 4: Why can't your leaders break this deadlock.
7:41
Speaker 3: Margaret, I think we should. And what we have offered is,
7:45
Speaker 3: let's pay TSA, let's pay FEMA, let's pay the National Guard,
7:50
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry, the Coast Guard. Let's pay SIA. I
7:53
Speaker 3: didn't even say let's pay Customs and Border Patrol. If
7:56
Speaker 3: we can't agree on ICE reforms, let's pay everybody else.
8:00
Speaker 1: Oh there it is ICE reforms ICE, you know, those
8:04
Speaker 1: bad guys. That's what they're so afraid of. He just
8:06
Speaker 1: admitted it right there. That's what it is, all of this,
8:09
Speaker 1: all of this, they're willing to not have TSA agents
8:13
Speaker 1: paid right now to defund Department of Homeland Security for
8:17
Speaker 1: God's sakes, because they're so threatened by deportations. They just
8:21
Speaker 1: said it right there. That's what all of this is.
8:23
Speaker 1: They're willing to have the people in charge of keeping you,
8:26
Speaker 1: me and our family safe unpaid because they're so threatened
8:30
Speaker 1: by deportations. Why because they need them, because they need
8:34
Speaker 1: illegals to vote in elections. Otherwise, the Democrats have no
8:37
Speaker 1: platforms on which they can win. It's all right there,
8:40
Speaker 1: and it's all obvious, and they're all admitting it. Now
8:42
Speaker 1: they're willing to do that, and now they realize, they're
8:45
Speaker 1: starting to realize it, feel the heat how unpopular this
8:48
Speaker 1: is with even independence and liberals, that this whole concept
8:54
Speaker 1: is just absolutely insane. This is going to backfire so
8:57
Speaker 1: badly for them during a time in which the law
9:00
Speaker 1: larger issue is what we have going on with a
9:02
Speaker 1: rent right now, where we're still engaging in warfare with them.
9:06
Speaker 1: We just are. As a matter of fact, it's going
9:08
Speaker 1: very well. Despite what they're trying to tell you. It's
9:11
Speaker 1: a rent has nothing left. That doesn't mean there aren't
9:14
Speaker 1: sleeper cells in this country right now willing to impose
9:19
Speaker 1: ill will upon our country and our people right now.
9:22
Speaker 1: But you've got a party that is willing to defund
9:24
Speaker 1: the people willing to keep us safe. We're trying to
9:27
Speaker 1: keep us safe because they're so afraid of deportations. What
9:30
Speaker 1: does that tell you? What does that tell you where
9:32
Speaker 1: their priorities are? And those TSA agents, man, I know
9:35
Speaker 1: a lot of them have who can blame them? They've
9:36
Speaker 1: got to get some side work, getting unpaid doing that job.
9:40
Speaker 1: I know you may not be happy with TSA agents.
9:42
Speaker 1: I run into some bad ones too, but for the
9:44
Speaker 1: most part, like any industry, they're great people and they're
9:47
Speaker 1: doing a job. Imagine doing that job in an airport
9:49
Speaker 1: trying to tell these idiots how to move their suitcase
9:53
Speaker 1: through the security line. Imagine doing that and not getting
9:55
Speaker 1: paid for it. I cannot imagine. And I don't blame
9:58
Speaker 1: any one of them for walk and off that job
10:00
Speaker 1: for right now, because they have to make money. Somehow,
10:04
Speaker 1: you got these politicians making sure that they're not getting
10:08
Speaker 1: their paychecks because they hate the idea of deportations. Because
10:11
Speaker 1: they hate it. They're telling you exactly what the game is.
10:15
Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll see if they wake up. But
10:18
Speaker 1: they're starting to field the heat now, I'll tell you
10:19
Speaker 1: that much. This is something I wanted to bring to
10:22
Speaker 1: you today. I wrote this down because it hasn't passed yet,
10:25
Speaker 1: but it's about to. This is why it's so important,
10:27
Speaker 1: and this should be your takeaway. It's very, very important,
10:29
Speaker 1: more important than ever you to decide where you live. Well,
10:32
Speaker 1: of course I decide where I live. Do you or
10:35
Speaker 1: you just kind of stuck there? Look at I always
10:38
Speaker 1: say this. You know, we don't have time to look
10:42
Speaker 1: at local elections. We don't have time to look at
10:44
Speaker 1: state elections. We don't have time to look at mid terms.
10:46
Speaker 1: All the time, we're all working, we're all trying to
10:48
Speaker 1: get things done. We have businesses, we have families, we
10:50
Speaker 1: have kids, we have other interests. I get it, but
10:54
Speaker 1: we have to otherwise. You're what Virginia. Now, there's a
10:58
Speaker 1: lot of great people in the state of regiin I
11:00
Speaker 1: know some who live there. Actually, but Virginia, Northern Virginia,
11:04
Speaker 1: in fact, pretty much runs how that state goes because
11:07
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of career bureaucratics that work in Washington,
11:11
Speaker 1: d C. They want to hold onto their jobs and
11:12
Speaker 1: they live in Northern Virginia. And what do they do.
11:16
Speaker 1: They want to vote in Democrats because they want to
11:18
Speaker 1: keep their jobs and pensions. Just a matter of fact,
11:20
Speaker 1: that's how it's always gone, but it's never been this bad.
11:23
Speaker 1: The Virginia state's legislature is pushing through a bill that
11:28
Speaker 1: would severely restrict Second Amendment rights. That's not that big
11:32
Speaker 1: of a surprise. This might surprise you though. Now here's
11:35
Speaker 1: the debate just this past weekend in the Virginia House
11:39
Speaker 1: about this particular bill. Now, what's so controversial about it, Well,
11:43
Speaker 1: they want to restrict people of Virginia. There are gun rights,
11:47
Speaker 1: but there's an exemption clause in there. There's an exemption
11:49
Speaker 1: clause for politicians elected officials in Virginia. They can have
11:55
Speaker 1: Them's a little boring, but this guy debates this on
11:59
Speaker 1: the stage.
12:00
Speaker 2: Moun President, I wish the senator from Eastern Fairfax could
12:04
Speaker 2: hear himself, could hear himself, because this job we think
12:09
Speaker 2: this job has gotten dangerous in the last couple of years. Well,
12:12
Speaker 2: how many Virginians out there believe that they're in a
12:15
Speaker 2: situation where they need to protect themselves, but yet we
12:21
Speaker 2: don't listen to them. Well, not me, but this body's
12:24
Speaker 2: not going to listen to them because they think they
12:28
Speaker 2: need to have this protection.
12:30
Speaker 1: What's he talking about. If you're a visual podcast follower,
12:34
Speaker 1: you saw that there was a highlighted part of this
12:35
Speaker 1: particular bill. I'm not going to read through the whole thing,
12:38
Speaker 1: but it's a highlighted part of it that it's got
12:39
Speaker 1: everybody upset. It's a good thing they found this and
12:42
Speaker 1: somebody read through it to find it, because it's pretty unbelievable.
12:45
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a classic example of the
12:47
Speaker 1: ruleser for thee and not me, Well, here you go,
12:50
Speaker 1: the provisions of this section blah blah blah blah. This
12:52
Speaker 1: is about restricting gun rights. There provisions of this section
12:56
Speaker 1: shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly
12:58
Speaker 1: who leaves a handgun in a non attended motor vehicle.
13:01
Speaker 1: So what they're saying is part of the bill is
13:03
Speaker 1: all kinds of details restrictory rights, including nobody can leave
13:06
Speaker 1: an handgun in a vehicle. Blah blah blah. Right, except
13:09
Speaker 1: if you're an elected official in Virginia. What blah blah
13:15
Speaker 1: blah when such vehicle is parked in any parking structure
13:18
Speaker 1: reserved for members of the General Assembly. General Assembly meaning
13:23
Speaker 1: state politicians for Virginia. Here's the long and short of it.
13:27
Speaker 1: They want to This bill overall, with all its sections,
13:30
Speaker 1: would severely limit the Second Amendment rights of Virginia citizens,
13:34
Speaker 1: with an exception for politicians elected officials in Virginia. If
13:42
Speaker 1: they hadn't paid attention to this, this would have been
13:43
Speaker 1: slipped in and they could do whatever they want. This
13:45
Speaker 1: is good. Just the fact that this was written in.
13:48
Speaker 1: Somebody went through this, they went through legal they wrote it,
13:50
Speaker 1: they put it in the bill. It got this far
13:52
Speaker 1: is unbelievable because of the mindset and the attitude of
13:55
Speaker 1: what it is. Whoever came up with this, whatever politician
13:59
Speaker 1: came up with this, or group politicians in the state
14:01
Speaker 1: of Virginia said they're saying out loud, we're better than
14:05
Speaker 1: the citizenry, We're better than regular normal people. We're gonna
14:09
Speaker 1: restrict their gun rights, but we're not gonna restrict ours. Again,
14:13
Speaker 1: what's the takeaway be very careful where you choose to live,
14:15
Speaker 1: and pay attention to I know it's not the most
14:18
Speaker 1: exciting thing, but pay attention to state elections, county elections,
14:22
Speaker 1: city elections, town elections, hell, even your hoa. I know
14:25
Speaker 1: you don't want to and I know it's not fun,
14:27
Speaker 1: but you have to wake up otherwise you're a victim
14:29
Speaker 1: to this kind of stuff. Be very careful where you live.
14:32
Speaker 1: And I hope you wake up, Virginia, I really do.
14:34
Speaker 1: I don't, man, it's that ridiculous. All right. I'm not
14:37
Speaker 1: gonna dwell on the Oscars again. I promised you there
14:39
Speaker 1: was one amazing takeaway from this, and we've all asked
14:41
Speaker 1: the question, even last night when my wife was watching
14:45
Speaker 1: this last night downstairs. She loves the Oscars. Love watching it,
14:48
Speaker 1: you know. She thinks it's ridiculous too, believe me, but
14:50
Speaker 1: loves watching it because, like I don't know, it's like
14:53
Speaker 1: her Super Bowl, she calls it. Right. So I'll keep
14:56
Speaker 1: an eye on that of this and that. I'll read
14:58
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'll get the comments where I didn't
14:59
Speaker 1: want thing, but this during the show, you're in the
15:03
Speaker 1: middle of the show went viral last night mostly on
15:06
Speaker 1: x but it made it to Instagram as well, probably
15:09
Speaker 1: on TikTok too. Somebody dug up the qualification rules for
15:13
Speaker 1: any feature film or documentary or short or anything to
15:18
Speaker 1: be nominated for an Oscar. Let's faith this. They all
15:20
Speaker 1: want to win the award, right. It's their industry, it's
15:22
Speaker 1: their internal industry award. It's a big deal for them
15:25
Speaker 1: that work in that industry. This may answer the question
15:28
Speaker 1: why a lot of movies just think right now they're
15:33
Speaker 1: just absolutely awful. Here's the part to be qualified to
15:36
Speaker 1: be considered four an Oscar. Here's one section of it.
15:41
Speaker 1: For this is item A two general ensemble cast. This
15:45
Speaker 1: is real. It's been verified. It is true from the
15:48
Speaker 1: Oscar from the Academy at least thirty percent of all
15:52
Speaker 1: actors not submitted for Oscar consultation, or from at least
15:56
Speaker 1: two underrepresented groups, which may include women, racial and ethnic
16:00
Speaker 1: group LGBTQ, plus of course, people with cognitive or physical
16:05
Speaker 1: disabilities or are deaf and hard of hearing. So these
16:10
Speaker 1: are cast members, not the people who would get an Oscar.
16:13
Speaker 1: But for anything nominated for an Oscar, at least thirty
16:16
Speaker 1: percent of all the actors have to fit into all
16:19
Speaker 1: of those categories. Women, racial, ethnic group, LGBTQ plus, people
16:23
Speaker 1: with cognitive or physical disabilities, or are deaf or hard
16:27
Speaker 1: of hearing. Now that's not to say it wouldn't be
16:29
Speaker 1: great to have these people have jobs in any capacity.
16:32
Speaker 1: That would be awesome, but a requirement that thirty percent
16:36
Speaker 1: of them have to have that? How about the main
16:38
Speaker 1: storyline or subject matter? This is item A three in
16:41
Speaker 1: the qualification to win an Oscar? Are you ready? The
16:43
Speaker 1: main storylines, themes, narrative of the film should be centered
16:48
Speaker 1: on in underrepresented groups? What item A three? The main storylines, theme,
16:55
Speaker 1: or narrative of the film is centered on an underrepresented group, women,
17:00
Speaker 1: racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ plus, people with cognitive, physical disabilities,
17:06
Speaker 1: or are deaf or heart of hearing. Why do I say?
17:10
Speaker 1: Why does that matter? Bill? Those people should be represented.
17:13
Speaker 1: Here's why. Think of how many classic movies, all of
17:17
Speaker 1: your favorites would never win an oscar now under these
17:20
Speaker 1: new rules. I don't know how new, but they're new
17:23
Speaker 1: compared to like the classic days when people were actually
17:25
Speaker 1: interested in the oscars. You know what movies couldn't be
17:27
Speaker 1: made now? The Godfather one or two wouldn't be able
17:33
Speaker 1: to be made. Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid. Maybe,
17:36
Speaker 1: you know, think of the classics. Think of the classics
17:38
Speaker 1: way back in the day. The Deer Hunter couldn't make that,
17:43
Speaker 1: none of them, because you would have Let's say you
17:45
Speaker 1: wanted to make a movie and it would be directed
17:47
Speaker 1: by Spielberg, one of the biggest names in Hollywood, right,
17:50
Speaker 1: and you say we're going to make a period piece. Great,
17:53
Speaker 1: it's going to be about eighteen fifty something, you know,
17:59
Speaker 1: Western culture or life, about a bunch of people who
18:02
Speaker 1: went and covered wagons they went out west. Great. Are
18:05
Speaker 1: you gonna have a bunch of LGBTQ. No, we weren't
18:10
Speaker 1: really planning on that. Okay, well you're gonna have to.
18:14
Speaker 1: Is it majority women? No, it's a bunch of dudes
18:17
Speaker 1: who are going out to the west of two fine gold. Okay.
18:20
Speaker 1: Do you have any deaf actors? No, they can all hear. Well, sorry,
18:27
Speaker 1: you'll never be considered for an Oscar. Think of how
18:31
Speaker 1: think of how limiting this is for everything. Whether there
18:33
Speaker 1: are all these new movies. This answers the question why
18:36
Speaker 1: most of the mainstream, big Oscar nominated movies now absolutely
18:41
Speaker 1: stink because of these qualifications and these rules they put
18:45
Speaker 1: on them. Think of all the classic movies. Come up
18:47
Speaker 1: with your own list of all the classic movie well,
18:49
Speaker 1: some of your favorite movies of all time, and I
18:51
Speaker 1: will bet you dollars to donuts. Not one of them
18:54
Speaker 1: would be able to win an oscar these days because
18:57
Speaker 1: of those rules. Think of a Godfather example, right, Godfather
19:03
Speaker 1: one and two, some of the classic Many people, including mine,
19:07
Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time wouldn't win an oscar these days.
19:10
Speaker 1: Why no lgbtqu plus or deaf people? A ration was
19:15
Speaker 1: about an Italian fam immigrant family that worked its way
19:18
Speaker 1: up through a mob family. But because you didn't have
19:23
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus, it never wanted to would an oscar? Here
19:25
Speaker 1: you go and explains everything anyway. Don't be upset about
19:30
Speaker 1: the oscars or Hollywood in general. It's sad. They know
19:32
Speaker 1: that they're falling apart, and they know that they're in
19:35
Speaker 1: a vacuum these days, and they're in an echo chamber.
19:37
Speaker 1: And also with a Virginia story, be careful where you live,
19:40
Speaker 1: pay attention to it. All right, thanks for finding me.
