  Speaker 1: All right, Barbenheimer. Yes, remember Barbenheimer, I did, Barbenheimer, Barbenheim,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I did, all right. Well, now that worked out for everybody,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: both movie companies, both films. Everybody won with Barbenheim because
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the movie companies were smart enough to let it happen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: They embraced it. Yeah, if only these people were as smart.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Some theater owners starved for big movies. I wish the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: wealth could be spreading it out over time. The biggest
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: fantasy hero battle in Hollywood is shaping up over the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: release of December eighteen, Warner Brothers and Legendaries Dune Part
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: three versus Disney and Marvel's Avengers Doomsday on the same day,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: same day, December eighteenth. They've officially claimed same release date.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Now they've said this for months, and that means that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a time when you know theaters are starving to fill seats,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: two of the year's biggest anticipated films are set to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: arrive on the exact same day. Now there was a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: theater on a says someone's got a move. That's a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: level of overwhelm. That doesn't make any sense, especially after
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the last few years. An Avengers movie and Done three
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: are both sure things. Sure, no matter when you release them,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: no one is blinking, and Dune has already won one battle.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: They managed to get smart and secure the Imax theaters first. Well,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and they've got a move. So yeah, you'll see Dune
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: three and Imax you won't see Doom's Day, you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I mean this, They could just move it. Yeah, one
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of them could move. I know that they only keep
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: them in the Imax for what a week or two,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, three weeks maybe if they're big.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, Marvel has Spider Man coming out
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in May, and then they want to spread things out. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this is just a no brainer. You guys. Come on,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna talk a little Star Trek here. Okay,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's nothing but bad news. Oh no, sorry, sorry, nothing
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but bad news for Star Trek. The latest Star Trek show,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: which was renewed for its second season back in twenty
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: twenty four, the one with Holly Hunter. Yeah, it was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: approved for two seasons, Starfleet Academy, which I've been enjoying.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The bros that are going to be taking over Paramount
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: have said, no, we're not going to continue with that one. No,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it's doing, it's not doing as well because of these
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: very few numbered but very loud people on social media.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Here's another thing that I don't understand why the movie
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: companies pay attention to these people on social media because
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they are in the minority, but they're very loud. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: get that, But I guess they think they influence a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people. They think they do, and maybe they do,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because these people have been screeching about, oh, it's woke
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Star Trek. Star Trek has always been woke, but I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: mean and it has failed to chart on the Nielsen's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: top ten streaming viewership tables, but other shows have gotten
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: renewed with less. So you're going to see season two
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and then that will be it. So in the post
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: sky Dance merger, they haven't said anything about Star Trek
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: except we're looking at a movie. We don't know what
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it'll be, but it probably won't be any of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: existing characters or franchises, something totally new, to which I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: would say to them, you know, there's a series of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: books by Peter David that are very good that take
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: place on the uss ex caliber which falls where which
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is more next gen timeline? Okay, but try that. Meanwhile,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you got the guy who wrote the Martian and this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: new movie Andy Were Project Tail Mary. I saw it yesterday,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Project Cam you did. I went by myself and I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: loved it. It was great. Okay, this makes me not
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like Andy were. Oh no, what happened here? He was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: being interviewed. I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: shows that spent a lot of time talking to Alex Kurtzman.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He's the guy who's behind these new Star Trek shows,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: he says, I don't like a lot of the new
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Star Trek. He as a person is a really nice guy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, the shows he makes are s.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. He's a nice guy, but they
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: didn't accept my pitch. So you know FM oh so
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: he's yeah, well, he goes on. Oh. I dislike social commentary,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Like I really hate it. When I'm reading a book,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I just want to be entertained and not preached at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of why
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the story. It ruins the wonder of the story. If
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I know the author has a political or social acts
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to grind, I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Of the story because I know for a fact that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the universe of that book will conspire to ensure what
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the author's political agenda is validated. I hate that I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: into it on their own. I have no point to make.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to affect a reader's opinion on anything.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: For instance, as a lifelong Start Trek fan, Lie, it's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: always bothered me that there is a presumed responsibility within
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Star Trek shows to talk about social issues. I just
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's never been the show. What Star Trek has he
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: been watching? I don't have That's never show. It's been
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about social and it's and oftentimes with a big hammer
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: beating you over the head with it. Yes, half black
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and half white. Well he's black on the left side,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I'm black on the right side. I mean, yeah, it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was humbling you with the message. Yes, but it's always
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: been that. That's that was the point of Star Trek.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So Andy, where you say, you're like anybody who says,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a longtime Star Trek fan, and then they say
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm like, what Trek have you been watching?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I think you've been watching maybe something else. And finally
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this while I was walking around Disneyland and looking at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: stuff that they have for ale, and there were many
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: many items I didn't okay, I bought two little things, okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: because you know I'm getting rid of Yeah, you're going
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the other way. Rob found me a lego key chain
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of rocket raccoon. Oh well, yeah you had to. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: had to get that, and a pin of rocket raccoon
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: not taking up any space. There were several things that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I was looking at. First of all, there's a Daredevil helmet.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Nearly did it. Then there was the Tony Stark has
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a heart glass cube that you know Pepper gave Tony
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and he pulled the thing up. I nearly got that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And then Rob pointed to this C three p O head.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Oh the lights up. He said, well, here there you go.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to pass on that. Maybe I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: should have gotten it because for one hundred dollars I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: could have it, not a million dollars. Yeah, they've been
• 7:56
