  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, are
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you going to see the new Superman movie? Well, let's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ask American mama's joining us now our American mamas Terry
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Needeville and Kimberly Burlison. So Superman had his opening weekend
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this last weekend, did over one hundred million dollars and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is now the third biggest movie of the year behind
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: F One. And I'm forgetting what the other movie was.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe Mission Impossible.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So Mission Impossible that's been out for a while now,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that's surprising.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean Superman beat it this weekend, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for the year as a whole, Mission Impossible had a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: higher opening weekend than Superman did. So you guys thinking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: about going to go see it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I am I'm going to go, no chance.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And I love Superman. I guess because I was privy
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: to I don't even know where I saw it. There's
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: a link where the director, James Gunn was basically he's very,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: very woke, and he was talking about how this is
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: a movie about immigrants and loving your neighbors no matter
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: how they got here. And I thought, I'm so tired
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: of lectures. I'm so tired of these movie makers, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: telling us what to think and feel and twisting it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Because we do love our legal immigrants. We absolutely cherish
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: our legal immigrants. That's not the issue here. The issue
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: is the illegal immigrants. And on top of that, it's
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the ones who are committing so many crimes. So I just,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I just, you know what, when I heard him say that,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the director, I thought.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why it's number three. Maybe a lot of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: people are getting that message.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Well that's interesting because even though it did do over
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars, it still didn't do as much
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: at the box office as Man of Steel did. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: believe back in twenty sixteen in opening weekends. So twenty sixteen,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Man of Steel beat this year year's Superman. And that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was one with Henry cavill as Superman. And that was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: back when ticket prices were an average of eight dollars
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and fifty cents per ticket, not sixteen dollars and fifty
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: cents per ticket. Interesting, so there were more people in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the theater there were, you know, that was and.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I think they were saying something about the lead actor Superman.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I think they said he is Jewish, or he is
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: there he was a minority or something.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So they're focusing on there, and I don't like that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: He's either a great actor or he's not. Why does
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the skin color matter? Why do you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Realize how bad their marketing is? They'll learn, They don't learn.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: They don't understand that, how we think, because they keep
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: trying the same thing, the same narrative, the same stories,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the same marketing, and it does not work. It turns
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: people off and they don't show up.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: If their bubble, they're doing this for their bubble. They
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: still want to be invited to the parties. They still
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: want to be revered.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Do you really think that or do you think one
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: they one hundred eight or good the pulse on society.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: No, I think they There's no way. There's just no
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: way that they can't see that the majority of Americans
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: are tired of it. So this is so that they
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: can still be in that elite clove that they're in.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: No terry, no way that somebody's going to spend a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: gazillion dollars on a movie because they want to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: invited to a party. I believe that they truly think
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: this is what society wants. I truly think.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: That you got it wrong. What they think. This is
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: what they truly think society needs, not what society wants.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: They think that they they're so virtuous. Yeah, there's so
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: much better than us. You're right, there's so much wiser
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: than us that they're trying to make sure that we
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: get this shoved down. Their shove it down our throats.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: But our eyes are open. Now done. Mark.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So, I saw this meme after Gun came out and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: said it's about an immigrant story. I saw this meme
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that was making fun of it, and they said, oh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so James Gun is saying that the very best immigrants
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: are white males who assimilate and speak English fluently. Is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that Is that what you're saying, James Gun? And I thought, man,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a twist on on the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But look, if you're gonna do this woke messaging, you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: can do it both ways, right, you can do you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: know a far right. Well, this must mean the best
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: immigrants are white people. That's not what the film.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: During the pandemic and during right after all of that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: which movies made the most money. It was the Christian
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: based movies, the Kirk Cameron movies, and they would only
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: allow it in the theater for one weekend. Yes, they
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: were killing it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The Chosen. Chosen was number one, the number one series
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: on Amazon this this last month. The Chosen, which by
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the way, also showed in theaters on Foundom Events. They
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: did very well with that. Yeah, so this this whole
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: woke thing. My son did go see it. My son
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and his fiance went to go see Superman. They loved it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They were fans of James Gunn when he was directing
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Guardians at the Galaxy. So there's part of me that's like,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to see it because you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I still like the superhero movies. I remember, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Christopher Reeves Man and all this. But there's also a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: very big part of me that intentionally I did not
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: go to the theater this weekend because of what James
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Gunn said and his brother doubling down, and I was like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to. I don't want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: be leave one stitch, just.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Like they don't want us to shove down our Christianity
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: down their throats, right, they don't like that. We don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So well, I wouldn't go see The Chosen if they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: were doing a twist on Jesus, this is a woke Jesus.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go see them, so I don't want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: woke Superman either.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Leave those alone, leaf snow White alone, leave all of
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: these treasured classics alone.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, Leela will have to talk
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: about this the other time. But Leelo and Stitch they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: changed the ending. Hollywood changed the ending to where the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: now Leelo and Stitch. They put Lilo up in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: foster care system so her sister can go pursue her
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: own dreams.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: These people are dumb.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: What's happened?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: They're dumb.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I just want them to have done that to Superman.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, but that's my fear
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that they're going to do the same thing. Think if
• 5:53
