- 0:17Speaker 2: off for Juneteenth, So yeah, let's talk about all the
- 0:19Speaker 2: weekend movies on a Thursday. You know, it is an
- 0:22Speaker 2: incredible weekend for the movies because not only do you
- 0:24Speaker 2: have Juneteenth, but you've got Follo's Day weekend, so a
- 0:26Speaker 2: lot of people are looking for something to do. I
- 0:29Speaker 2: can't think of a better movie to see this weekend
- 0:31Speaker 2: than Toy Story five. I've seen it already. I'm going
- 0:35Speaker 2: to bring my wife and kids to see it again
- 0:38Speaker 2: on Sunday on Father's Days, just because look, I was
- 0:41Speaker 2: tearing up like three times. I am mister softy when
- 0:44Speaker 2: it comes to the movies. I cry. I cry in movies.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I can't help it, especially if it's a Pixar film,
- 0:50Speaker 2: and this is really Pixar's best movie since Inside Out too.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I just absolutely loved it.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Oh wonderful.
- 0:55Speaker 2: You know the plot of this movie is a lot
- 0:57Speaker 2: of these stories are like origin stories, so you had
- 0:59Speaker 2: I think Toy Story two was Woody's Orange and story.
- 1:02Speaker 2: This one is all about Jesse played by Joan Cusack,
- 1:06Speaker 2: the cowgirl, and she finds that she is challenged in
- 1:10Speaker 2: her job when face to face she has to deal
- 1:13Speaker 2: with this new tech toy called lily Pad voiced by
- 1:17Speaker 2: Greta Lee from Past Lives, who's so wonderful. And the
- 1:20Speaker 2: whole thing is about the challenge of technology, and as
- 1:23Speaker 2: a New York critic Leah Sidney said, it really talks
- 1:26Speaker 2: about how we all deal with change in the face
- 1:28Speaker 2: of AI and technology. And I think the message for
- 1:32Speaker 2: the kids about how we have to kind of limit
- 1:35Speaker 2: the screen time and turn off your phones is just
- 1:37Speaker 2: so powerful in this movie, especially when like Jesse sees
- 1:40Speaker 2: house to house, none of these kids are talking to
- 1:42Speaker 2: each other. They're all looking at their tablets, They're all
- 1:45Speaker 2: looking at their phones. And to see that in a
- 1:47Speaker 2: movie on the big screen where you're kind of forced
- 1:49Speaker 2: to turn off your phone and concentrate on the story
- 1:53Speaker 2: that someone is trying to tell you, it's to me,
- 1:55Speaker 2: who's so moving and beautiful. And to have families coming
- 1:59Speaker 2: together at the same about this weekend to kind of
- 2:02Speaker 2: get this message that we got to talk to each other,
- 2:04Speaker 2: got to watch a movie for an hour and a
- 2:06Speaker 2: half and then cry together, laugh together, have some nostalge
- 2:09Speaker 2: about toy Story and then and then have a beautiful
- 2:12Speaker 2: family moment afterwards. It's just for me. It's just such
- 2:15Speaker 2: a beautiful thing instead of gift to movie overs. So
- 2:18Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm getting kind of touched a little bit
- 2:21Speaker 2: to I know, it's a Disney movie.
- 2:25Speaker 1: You know, it's like, come on, it sounds really wonderful.
- 2:27Speaker 1: And you know, if Taylor Swift said it was her
- 2:29Speaker 1: favorite toy Story and wrote a song for it, we
- 2:32Speaker 1: know it's got.
- 2:32Speaker 2: To be good. We believe in Taylor. Yeah, I know
- 2:37Speaker 2: she hears songs at the very end and stay for
- 2:39Speaker 2: the end. Of course there's some tags at the end too,
- 2:41Speaker 2: But no, it's just it's it's a fantastic film. It's
- 2:43Speaker 2: going to have the biggest opening of the year, and
- 2:45Speaker 2: there's no question about it. People are predicting one hundred
- 2:48Speaker 2: and forty million. I think it'll go up to one
- 2:50Speaker 2: hundred and sixty and it will definitely have a lot
- 2:52Speaker 2: of repeat viewing. It's an exciting time. We haven't seen
- 2:56Speaker 2: movies doing this well on the big screen since twenty nineteen.
- 2:59Speaker 2: A lot of it has to do with movie theaters
- 3:01Speaker 2: that have really revolutionized the movie going experience, where they've
- 3:05Speaker 2: spent one point five billion dollars on fixing up their
- 3:07Speaker 2: screens and their sound, and so it's an exciting time
- 3:10Speaker 2: to go to the movie theater. And those seats are
- 3:11Speaker 2: so much better than twenty years ago. Too. I can
- 3:13Speaker 2: feel like I'm at home leaning back. It's great or
- 3:16Speaker 2: better than home. I don't know. I just I love
- 3:19Speaker 2: having that elevated experience as a love. The concessions are
- 3:21Speaker 2: so much better. There's actually healthy stuff for once that
- 3:24Speaker 2: you can eat at the movie there.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good too. We like that too well, Harry,
- 3:28Speaker 1: thank you so much. You always bring us the best news.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to speak with you.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It's a pleasure to speak to you. I hope you
- 3:34Speaker 2: get some good air conditioning this weekend.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And yeah, movie that is the key air conditioning. Happy
