  Speaker 2: opposite end of the spectrum of The Terminalist, season two
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, this is Chris Pratt.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: This is Chris Pratt finding his lane post-movies, unless they
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: call the Guardians of the Galaxy back into action, which
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I guess they could. They could. They could. Yeah, this
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is Chris Bratt's thing now. He plays a Navy SEAL
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: who's part of a vast conspiracy. His platoon and his
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: wife and daughter were all killed, leaving him as a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: lone survivor, and it's up to him to find out why.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: This really sounds like a job for Burt Macklin. Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That's a Parks and Recreation deep cut for you there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And on Netflix, this is a new reality show, The
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: New Stanford Prison Experiment. They're recreating the 1974 Stanford University
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: psychological torture experiment.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Which was discredited.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're trying it again.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so they're locking up 30 normies in a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: fake prison, and some of them are inmates, some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: them are guards, and they see where this power trip goes. Okay.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're dosing them with acid or not.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: They didn't mention any of that in the synopsis.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they should.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I would hope. But that's Netflix for you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And also on Wednesday on ABC and Disney Plus, CMA
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: presents I Will Always Love You, a celebration of Dolly Parton.

• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It's wacky. And actually the best part of the show

• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's very funny. She's a hot mess.
• 3:42

• 4:13
  Speaker 2: turns out the guy behind this was a self-proclaimed warlock.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: who was assembling a coven. Oh, of course. And he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: needed a 13th woman. Huh?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Magic number. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: If you've been watching American horror stories, 13 and trying
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to make any sense out of it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I have been. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So this is a true crime story. And, uh, we're
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: going to get to the bottom of it. Uh, three
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: episodes on Thursday on Hulu. On.

• 5:18
  Speaker 2: an art magazine coming up. Is it? It's a comedy.

  Speaker 2: It's a comedy with a laugh track, unfortunately.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Wackiness.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's paired up with that Reba McEntire show,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: which is gone for three seasons.

• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It'll be successful.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen Reba McIntyre for a long time. Does
• 5:35

• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Bamford's series. It's really funny.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: She's one of the best stand-ups out there right now.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: She really is.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And that series from 2016 is also hysterical. And going
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: all the way to Sunday, the 2026 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on Shudder. These are horror movies.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And we've had a lot of horror movies this year,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and they've all done pretty well, actually.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, they're cheap, and they make
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. And they've been pretty good.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So, of course, some of the movies up
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: for awards are 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple. So good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I love that movie. It's just a good movie.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Dust Bunny.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't see that one. I think it's on HBO
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Max now. Hocum, Queens of the Dead. That's a new
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: one to me. I don't know that one. And, of course,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Back Rooms and Obsession. And, yeah, you don't need the Oscars.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Just watch this.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And the award winners get a chainsaw. Excellent. That's the...
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Is it a working chainsaw? It's not a functional chainsaw, no.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It's like a tiny chainsaw on a thing there, yeah. Okay.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So what night is that on?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That is on Sunday on Shudder. I think I... If
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: you have the Shudder. I think I do. If there's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: someone in your household who's... I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Was going to say your kid probably has Shudder.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: If you love horror, you probably have Shudder.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So no SNL this week? No.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Two weeks in a row. This whole Katie Zachariah thing
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: is going to be cold. It's already cold. It already is, actually, yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It's gone.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live will be back on Halloween night with
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Indy Navarette from Obsession. Okay. She's the host.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And that's all the new stuff this week.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I'm five years behind on this, but I watched Lisey's
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Story on Apple TV.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I didn't either.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: It's a Stephen King book, and he wrote the teleplay
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: for all eight episodes. And if you want to feel
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the warm thrill of confusion, this is your show. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: couldn't stop watching mostly because of the actors. You've got
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Julianne Moore. You've got Clive Owen. You've got Joan Allen,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: who is amazing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: She's just terrific.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Why don't I remember this at all? It's on Apple TV.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: It's Lisey's? Lisey's story. But Dane DeHaan is the bad guy. Oh,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: he's creepy as hell. Oh, he's just awful.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean good, but awful because he's creepy.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's confusing. You know what's confusing is the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Ethan Hawke thing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Lowdown.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Lowdown, yeah. Oh, so your prediction was wrong. Oh, did
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he get up? The first time you see Tommy Lee Jones,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he's walking down the road.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kerry predicted that he would be seated throughout the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: entire show.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: The rest of the show.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: There have been several scenes of him standing upright.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. And he's really good in it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Well, of course.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And, of course, what's her name that I love?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Betty Gilpin.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Betty Gilpin is terrific.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But I just watched the second episode. And I was
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a little tired, and maybe I'd had a little bit
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to drink.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm going, now what's going on here?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It's quick. He's an award-winning journalist.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Just ask him.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Bill Frost. BillFrost.TV is where you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: want to go. Yes.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
