  today I'm excited I'm excited The
• 0:49
  Bodyguard The Bodyguard remake is in the
• 0:52
  works Are y'all excited about that i'm
• 0:55
  excited and not excited So let me just
• 0:57
  go ahead and read what I found out So it
• 1:01
  says "The Bodyguard remake is in the
• 1:02
  works from Taylor Swift's Aerys Tour
• 1:05
  director Sam Wrench Warner Brothers is
• 1:09
  developing a new version of the 1992
• 1:11
  feature that starred Whitney Houston and
• 1:14
  Kevin Costner Uh no casting
• 1:17
  announcements have been made yet but
• 1:19
  Jonathan Abrams who pinned last year's
• 1:21
  Clint Eastwood Helmjour number two for
• 1:24
  the studio is writing the script U
• 1:27
  Matthew Lopez wrote a previous version
• 1:30
  of a screen play remake that has been in
• 1:33
  various stages of development since
• 1:36
  2011 I'm excited and not excited I'm not
• 1:40
  really crazy about remakes Um I love the
• 1:44
  bodyguard How many times did y'all watch
• 1:45
  The Bodyguard cuz I watched it about a
• 1:47
  million times I probably can
• 1:51
  [Music]
• 1:52
  And you know I could probably sing every
• 1:56
  song that's on there
• 2:00
  but just wanted to do it justice I
• 2:03
  wanted to do it justice You know do
• 2:05
  y'all How do y'all feel about them with
• 2:08
  the casting do y'all think that they
• 2:11
  should cast a star that's already out
• 2:13
  there or should they uh cast a newbie
• 2:17
  50/50 on that Um I want to I want the
• 2:22
  the film to be successful So they
• 2:25
  probably are going to go with um
• 2:28
  somebody that plays Whitney Houston
• 2:30
  somebody that's big so that they can
• 2:32
  have a draw I would assume I would
• 2:35
  assume they would do that because Winnie
• 2:37
  Houston was a humongous star So why
• 2:40
  would you go with somebody that's not
• 2:42
  going to draw that many people cuz
• 2:45
  otherwise they might put it on like a
• 2:47
  streaming service So that wouldn't that
• 2:49
  wouldn't do good I I would hate that But
• 2:54
  you also want to give new actors a shot
• 2:58
  and it might be somebody that's amazing
• 3:01
  at it So I'm kind of 50/50 on it Y'all
• 3:04
  tell me what y'all feel about it And
• 3:06
  don't y'all miss Whitney i miss Whitney
• 3:09
  Nobody does it like her You know you'll
• 3:12
  never get that voice You'll never get
• 3:14
  that voice And that's one of the things
• 3:18
  I'm kind of
• 3:20
  afraid about because it was not only
• 3:24
  just a great story it was the dynamic
• 3:28
  vocal soundtrack and everything that
• 3:31
  went along with it So I'm kind of scared
• 3:34
  about what they're going to do with that
• 3:36
  So the comments what y'all think about
• 3:38
  that whole Bodyguard remake So I'm kind
• 3:41
  of excited not excited
• 3:44
  So anyway moving on Let's talk
• 3:48
  about this Netflix version of Pop the
• 3:51
  Balloon So I've watched the Pop the
• 3:55
  Balloon on social media and strange it's
• 3:59
  one of them strange
• 4:02
  um obsession things you know like you
• 4:05
  you watch it you like I don't know why
• 4:07
  I'm watching this
• 4:08
  mess I don't know why I'm watching this
• 4:11
  mess because it's it's simple you know
• 4:14
  You you either like them you like them
• 4:16
  you pop the balloon for whatever your
• 4:17
  reasons Sometimes it's a stupid reason I
• 4:19
  don't like his toe you know
• 4:23
  but some reason you still watch it you
• 4:26
  know and of course it's all the
• 4:30
  sensation and everything And of course
• 4:32
  Netflix picked it up Now once um it I
• 4:37
  believe it aired this
• 4:38
  weekend So it actually has been getting
• 4:42
  mixed
• 4:44
  reviews and to be honest the reviews
• 4:49
  mostly have been swaying
• 4:51
  on the negative side So I'm just going
• 4:54
  to read a couple of things that I saw
• 4:57
  here It says the show didn't feel
• 4:59
  authentic It feels like paid actors Um I
• 5:04
  saw absolutely
• 5:06
  horrible and watered down I was kind of
• 5:09
  skeptical about watching it on Netflix
• 5:11
  cuz I wasn't sure So these don't give me
• 5:13
  much conf confidence in watching it
• 5:15
  Anyway it says um absolutely horrible
• 5:18
  watered down Netflix ruined the show
• 5:21
  with
• 5:22
  gentrification Um it was a mess So
• 5:27
  didn't see anything good I'll say that
• 5:30
  So y'all tell me what y if y'all watched
• 5:33
  it Y'all tell me how y'all feel about it
• 5:34
  and then I'll go and watch it If I see
• 5:37
  some good comments if I see all bad
• 5:39
  comments I'm not going to waste my time
• 5:40
  in watching it I'd rather watch it on
• 5:42
  social media and and keep it that way
• 5:45
  And then they said something about the
• 5:46
  format has changed and this and that So
• 5:49
  again y'all tell me how y'all feel about
• 5:52
  it All right So lastly the last story my
• 5:57
  girl Missy Elliot performed at uh 2025
• 6:01
  Coachella and I watched her performance
• 6:03
  I love Missy Elliot I love Missy Elliot
• 6:08
  I love her creativity her artistry her
• 6:11
  performance her voice her writing skills
• 6:15
  Do I sound like a fan i'm a true fan of
• 6:18
  Missy Elliot I used to um being in the
• 6:21
  entertainment industry I wanted to be
• 6:23
  her like own a record label also be the
• 6:27
  artist I just thought that she was just
• 6:30
  an amazing businesswoman plus a an
• 6:34
  artist and I just thought that was such
• 6:36
  a cool thing Now um watching the
• 6:40
  performance she had everything in true
• 6:43
  Missy style you know she's going to have
• 6:46
  the crazy costumes She's going to have
• 6:48
  the performance level She's going to
• 6:50
  have the dancers She came out on stage
• 6:53
  as a transformer She's going to be have
• 6:57
  spaceships and all this other kind of
• 6:59
  stuff It's just messy with the the the
• 7:02
  big bags of her you know freaky freaky
• 7:06
  freaky and all this other kind of
• 7:09
  stuff That's just who she is And I love
• 7:13
  it And if you grew up in that generation
• 7:16
  you understood what she meant to the
• 7:18
  culture So I was looking at some of the
• 7:21
  reviews and things like that And it was
• 7:23
  honestly it was mixed reviews on it And
• 7:25
  I was like how in the heck can there
• 7:27
  ever be mixed reviews with Missy i mean
• 7:29
  of course all people don't have to like
• 7:31
  her I mean you know people love what
• 7:33
  they love But some of the people what I
• 7:37
  kept seeing is some of the people were
• 7:39
  saying
• 7:41
  that this
• 7:44
  generation may
• 7:46
  not really identify with Missy because
• 7:51
  uh they didn't come from you know the
• 7:53
  other generation So they weren't really
• 7:56
  they loved it but they they didn't love
• 7:59
  it like like the the a little bit older
• 8:02
  people loved it cuz they couldn't
• 8:04
  identify to some of the the older songs
• 8:07
  And I saw some um a couple of comments
• 8:11
  I'm a huge missing fan but the whole
• 8:13
  performance was disappointing
• 8:15
  considering she lip sync her entire set
• 8:18
  No You know
• 8:20
  what yeah Probably
• 8:24
  But when you do that
• 8:27
  much there are very few artists that can
• 8:31
  perform with that much intensity and
• 8:34
  that much you know um stage stuff and
• 8:38
  still be able to perform it full you
• 8:41
  know full voice Um there are only a few
• 8:44
  people that do it Beyonce
• 8:48
  um Usher you know and it's a skill It's
• 8:51
  a required skill And if you're not a
• 8:54
  performer that has developed that skill
• 8:58
  if you don't perform all day every day
• 9:00
  all day every day whatever developing
• 9:03
  that skill it's kind of hard to do And
• 9:05
  it's a lot She has a lot going on So I'm
• 9:08
  going to fault her for that And you
• 9:11
  know she has performed so much
• 9:13
  throughout her career I'm not going to
• 9:15
  take anything from Missy even if she had
• 9:17
  a bad day And I don't think this was a
• 9:20
  bad performance by far but even if she
• 9:23
  had a bad performance I'd be like "Oh
• 9:24
  well you know maybe she had a late night
• 9:27
  or something." That's how I would just
• 9:28
  feel about Missy because she's just
• 9:30
  amazing So
• 9:32
  um yeah And somebody I kind of agreed
• 9:35
  with me They said "Still not over Missy
• 9:36
  Ella's performance last night the set
• 9:39
  design visual costumes her presence the
• 9:41
  way she gave her dancers to shine and
• 9:43
  the fact that her hits are nearly three
• 9:46
  decades old yet still sounds fresh as f
• 9:53
  iconicish pinned another They said "The
• 9:56
  crowd is dead." And I agree with them
• 9:58
  when they I mean they clapped and they
• 10:00
  danced
• 10:01
  but and if it had been another
• 10:04
  generation it would have been a whole
• 10:05
  different type of crowd They said they
• 10:08
  don't even know who she probably is
• 10:09
  That's the saddest part They know of her
• 10:13
  So you know tell me what y'all think
• 10:15
  about it Um how did y'all feel about the
• 10:18
  audience reaction how did y'all feel
• 10:20
  about her performance and just how do
• 10:22
  y'all feel about Missy Elliot as a whole
• 10:25
