  Speaker 2: this show that involved Larry, who's away today transporting his

  Speaker 2: son for the start of his college semester is when
• 0:19

• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the ugly.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for it? I'm ready.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Currently, Tom Holland can't get any bigger than Tom Holland
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: obviously star of the Bust them out Brand New Day
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Spider Man.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Movie, but he's also in Odyssey.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: He married the leading lady. He's worth one hundreds of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars. Now, how do you get to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in two movies at the same time that they're coming
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: out in the same summer sea and marry the leading lady?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I think you just find the magic gay fall of
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the genie in the bottle and you and you make
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: your wish and that happens. By the way, I love Churtis,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: but then you hope so funny, dud, because I didn't
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: like the Spider Man movie. I'm okay with this. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: just want to say I'm okay with the Spider Man
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: movie before we go further. I don't mind the Spider
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Man movie. I just like the other Spider Man movies better. Oh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: let's just go on.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: To that, Joe, aren't you afraid of all those Spider
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Man fans out there just besieging you? I mean you finally,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you finally gave it a three and a half stars
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: because larryed you. But you were stuck.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I was stuck it through. Well, I've got my spider
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm jen X. By the way, you guys were talking
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: about generation, I'm jen X. So I've got my old
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: spidy webshooter from like the early seventies that I have.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So if anybody I've got my spidy Webs, yes, I'm
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: not scared.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's that's salvation. Now let me from the good.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That's obviously Tom Holland, who couldn't be doing any better.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: To the bad.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I noticed said act to David Crumbhols, who's only forty
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: eight years old. It's spent thirty years in the business,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: who was appeared in a number of great movies, Oppenheimer
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and others. He's called it quits and says, I'm fighting
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: for roles. It off for less money now and less
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: opportunities than the way it used to be in the nineties.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Is that what other actors and actresses are facing in Hollywood.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It's a good problem. I mean it's a good question.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: It's a sad problem. I think David Crumbles is really good.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: He was in the Springsteen movie last year. By the way,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: he played Supergirl's father, and I didn't like the Supergirl movie,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: but he played Supergirl's father a couple of weeks ago
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: when that movie came out. I think he's great, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's such a shame that it's you know
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: what this is, This is the disparity between a great
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: character actor and actors like Tom Holland and others who
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you know, Timothy Shallomey, who get those lead roles, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: those those character actors are often those are sometimes fighting
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: for scraps or they're fighting for roles. I remember when
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: back when Sideways came out and Paul Giamatti, who's one
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: of the best actors we've got, wasn't nominated for an Oscar.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: The other three actors were, but he wasn't. And he's
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: since been nominated twice, once for Cinderella Man and once
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: for The Holdovers. But he's an actor that you think,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I'll see anything with Paul Giamatti in it, but he's
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: not getting Tom Holland money. And it's it's they serve
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: different roles. But it's really a shame that somebody like
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Crumbhols is hanging it up because because he's got to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: fight for roles like that. You know, it's there's only
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a few character actors that sometimes get that status. Sam
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Rockwell's another one. I love him, He's great. John Malkovich
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for decades has been in one of those actors. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I think he might finally get his oscar for this
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: movie that's coming out called Wildhorse nine.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Who knows.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That's just a guess. But it's a shame. It's the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: it's the constant pull between the artists and sort of
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the and the business right between the ones who who
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: can put on the Spider Man costume and the ones
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: who can.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Now, Joe join me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I wanted to join my colleagues in shag Aftra and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: go out on strike. When the nanny told radio people, no,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: we don't need you, but we're gonna stop AI right
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in its tracks. Remember we discussed early on with Larry
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and yourself, the AI generated Val Kilmer movie right right?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Is that out?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think there's a release date for it yet.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's a you know, it's one of those things that
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: his family approved it, and Kilmer himself was sort of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: an odd, you know, quirky, odd guy who liked that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff. It's all as deep as the grave
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and he died in twenty twenty five at the age
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: of sixty five. But he allowed his image to be
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: sort of used for that. So who knows what's going
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to happen with that. There's lots of rules that they're
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: putting down, and I think they need to, but he
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: allowed that to happen. So he wanted his image to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: be used for this film that he had signed up for.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Who knows what will happen. It will be interesting to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: look at, but I don't know if that's going to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: be I don't think that's good for the business at all.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: And I know, like you, I'm I'm I'm very anti AI,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: and especially when it comes to things like that. You know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: there was there was things in the eighties. Remember they
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: would kind of use actors from previous movies, so bring
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: like Fred Astaire and they would whatever and bring them
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: on Boguart for to sell pepsi or coke. Same kind
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: of thing I think is going to happen. And I
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: think that's a scary thing, and actors have a right
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to fight for it, to fight against it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And yesterday Joe is National Radio Day celebrated by all
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of iHeart and they have gone on record as saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: we use AI actual intelligence, we will not use AI
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. There are very few in the business world
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that involved entertainment who will make a stand like that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I love that kind of thing. And I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: think that the more stand we take. And whenever I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: write anything for places, I always you know, let folks
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: know there's no AI. I'd rather cut off my hands
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: than use AI. And I think that that kind of
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: thing is uh, it comes to artistry. When it comes
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to Hollywood, you can feel it, you can like and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: that's an of the reason why I think The Odyssey
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: was such a huge success. People felt the actual you
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: know this, the actual ship, the actual cave, the actual
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: island or whatever that was filmed on it. I mean,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: there's some CGI or whatever, but people can feel when
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it's fake. And that was one of my things about
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: last week's with the end of Oak Street. You know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I know you can't get a real dinosaur. You know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: those guys cost a lot of money. But I feel
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: like when you when you when you are watching this
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: all the CGI stuff, it just drains it of all
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the creativity. And that's one of the reason why I think
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that the Odyssey was a huge success. It was very
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: non ai, non non fake looking, and I think that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a that's a positive, that's a benefit.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: People like that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: One thing I can say, Joel Nomeyer, I don't know
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you as long as Larry. You know, we will put
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: together and then ship this partnership by Tom Cutty. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you're not a fagacy. You're not a fagacy. You know
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: what a fugeacy is.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I I think I do. Why don't you remind me
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: fake phony fraud who used artificial intelligence.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That's about the highest commendation I can give you, Joe.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I take it to heart.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
• 7:07
