• 2:21

• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this one from Mary nineteen fifty nineteen fifty eight, and

• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It was. It was on HBO nineteen ninety three, Daryl Hannah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: do you remember that. Yeah, and it was directed by
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Christopher Guest. I didn't know that. But anyway, they're they're
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: going to remake it. They're in talks right now with
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Margot Robbie Okay, and Tim Burton to direct Attack of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Fifty Foot Woman. So we'll let you know when
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the when the ink is dry on the contracts Quiet Place,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Part three? Anyone? Sure you know what? These movies are?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: All good? I like all of them. Well, this is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: part three, so that means that Emily Blunt and Cillian
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Murphy should be back right because they survived the end
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of two. So we'll see anyway, unless it's a whole
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: new take on it. John Krasinski announced that he's going
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to write and direct and produce the sequel. I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they're all good. I like the lepitin Yongo one. That
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was a good one. I like that one. The original
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Star Wars is going to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in theaters.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: They're going to release it April thirtieth, twenty twenty seven,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: weeks ahead of Star Wars Starfighter. That's the Ryan Gosling one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh are you ready to come out? They're working on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it apparently, I don't know. They make these things in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a lab somewhere. I don't know. But so the question became,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is which version of the original version of the Yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and my guess is that it won't be the original
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: original version. It will be the because it's digital. Well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they added special effects. They mucked around with it, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they changed it so that so that Gredo shot first
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: instead of Han, right, which was just ridiculous. That's probably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the version that you're going But there's also special effects
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that they mucked with. Yeah, they they made them better.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I mean there's there's parts of it that I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: are terrific. Yeah, but I think it would be cool
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to see the real, real original version up on the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: big screen so people could see it and go, oh, yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they fixed all those things except for the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Han part. Yeah, because he is a scoundrel. He he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: would shoot first. Anyway. This is something that you may
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: not be aware of, but you should be because it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: huge K pop Demon Hunters right on Netflix. On Netflix
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it's the most watched Netflix show, isn't it. It is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: up there. It is one of their biggest releases ever,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and the music is on the charts and it's just huge,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I mean a surprising and explosive popularity. At the time
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of this writing, which was about a week ago, the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: film had amassed over twenty six point three million views
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in its sixth week of streaming, bringing its viewing totals
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and thirty two point four million, making
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: history is netflix most watched animated film ever. For some reason,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was episodic, but it's a no, it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just it's a movie. I watched it, and yeah, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: watched it because my nieces recommended. So I think six
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of these views are at least them they've watched it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that many times. And the music is on the is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: on the labels, this K pop label, black label. Uh,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the song Takedown performed by the band a fake. Well
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's these are actual K pop performers, but they're
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they take the name of the band, which
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is Hunters. Anyway, it's it's all over Spotify and it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: all over the charts. Golden recently returned to the number
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: one spot on the Billboard Global two hundred. So it's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a and I watched it. The animation is really something,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and it's a it's it's kind of a fun little watch,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: so you know, I mean, is it it's sort of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: geared toward teen yeah A teen, yeah exactly, But it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a but it was rather entertaining, not so entertaining as
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Megan two point zero. Yeah, that's not doing it. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything well. And the people that made the movie,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: they've apologized sorry, said we had a good idea, so
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we thought we could do anything with her, but apparently
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we can't. And they're so ashamed. They were going to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have a release in Japan, where the first one did
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: pretty well. They've changed their minds. They're not we're not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: even going to release it in Japan. They're just they're
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that ashamed of it. So if you can watch it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for free on one of your services, probably might be
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the way to go.
