  ♪ Wntertain me, entertain me right now ♪
• 0:04
  Hey, you found us.
• 0:05
  We are the pop culture junkies.
• 0:07
  I am Shauna.
• 0:09
  And I'm Olivia.
• 0:10
  I miss you so much, dude.
• 0:12
  I miss you too.
• 0:13
  How's life been?
• 0:15
  Life's been good, yeah.
• 0:18
  By the time this episode airs,
• 0:20
  we will be done with Phoenix Fan Fusion,
• 0:23
  which the Pop Culture Junkies are not doing this year,
• 0:25
  unfortunately, because one of them had to go and move
• 0:30
  but hey, I was gonna come back.
• 0:32
  That wasn't even the reason.
• 0:34
  That's true.
• 0:35
  I know.
• 0:36
  I know.
• 0:37
  God, we should have done it just this weekend.
• 0:40
  Yes.
• 0:41
  Even though I'm only going for one day,
• 0:42
  but I've been working on my cosplay.
• 0:45
  Ooh, yeah, what are you gonna be?
• 0:49
  So because this is airing afterwards,
• 0:51
  I can say it because everybody's already
• 0:53
  seen the pics that like them.
• 0:55
  I am going as a gender bent papa emeritus
• 0:59
  the third from the band goes.
• 1:02
  Not the second, the third.
• 1:04
  It's gonna be, yeah, it's third, Turso for sure.
• 1:06
  (laughing)
• 1:08
  That's exciting.
• 1:09
  I'm excited to see it.
• 1:10
  So what are you wearing with it?
• 1:12
  So I have--
• 1:13
  So I have--
• 1:14
  Yes, my whole face is painted in like the Corp A.
• 1:18
  And then I'm painting my chest and like,
• 1:20
  cleavage white to match the face.
• 1:22
  And I'm gonna repurpose my L byro dress.
• 1:25
  And I wore a couple of years ago for fan fusion.
• 1:28
  But I have a Pope hat.
• 1:30
  And I have those like long hanging things
• 1:32
  that folks have up their sleeves.
• 1:34
  All the Catholics listening are like,
• 1:36
  "Oh my God, girl."
• 1:38
  You know the long hanging oak things.
• 1:40
  I was raised Catholic and I don't know the name of it.
• 1:43
  So like I'm a cradle Catholic,
• 1:46
  I think is what they're called,
• 1:48
  but not like a real Catholic.
• 1:49
  And I don't know the name of them.
• 1:50
  So--
• 1:51
  Great.
• 1:52
  Dramatic sleeve.
• 1:53
  It's like dramatic sleeves basically.
• 1:55
  They got a cloak.
• 1:56
  It's the Conti Catholic sleeves, of course.
• 1:59
  That's exactly what it's called.
• 2:00
  The Conti Catholic sleeves.
• 2:01
  CCS.
• 2:02
  [LAUGHTER]
• 2:05
  So if my family was already not speaking to me
• 2:09
  after they see these pictures, they're really not--
• 2:12
  It's very true.
• 2:13
  We can't share that one to Facebook.
• 2:15
  Debbie, you know.
• 2:16
  Oh, I'm sharing.
• 2:16
  I don't go.
• 2:17
  Yeah.
• 2:19
  She said, "I do it for the likes, not for the love of my family."
• 2:23
  No.
• 2:24
  I do it for the memes and the clown and the memes.
• 2:30
  The memes, the memes.
• 2:30
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:31
  They gave me--
• 2:32
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:33
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:34
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:35
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:36
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:37
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:38
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:39
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:40
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:41
  What did they have for a gift?
• 2:42
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:43
  They gave me a gift.
• 2:44
  Yeah.
• 2:45
  I do need to hear the story of the man telling you,
• 2:48
  your hot for a gauze.
• 2:50
  And please--
• 2:51
  Oh, my god.
• 2:52
  And then somebody on threads didn't believe me.
• 2:53
  He found some like, die-ass bar where people just getting up there and playing jam band,
• 2:59
  dad rock.
• 3:00
  And this guy came up and was like, you're really hot for a gauze, girl.
• 3:05
  And it's just like, that is--
• 3:07
  What does that even mean?
• 3:08
  What does that even mean?
• 3:09
  Are you trying to compliment?
• 3:10
  And he's like, yeah, I just, you know, I've never really been into that kind of girl.
• 3:14
  And I'm really--
• 3:15
  You're hot for a gauze, girl.
• 3:16
  And you just try to be right here.
• 3:18
  I'm going to start this for the appearance.
• 3:20
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  And like, first of all, I'm married.
• 3:24
  Second of all, that's not how complex it is for--
• 3:27
  If you're trying to start about--
• 3:28
  Just like that, just sort of--
• 3:29
  --negging thing from like the mid 2000s, if you're doing that wrong, too.
• 3:32
  Yeah.
• 3:33
  He's like, I just heard about nagging.
• 3:34
  I was tested out.
• 3:37
  What did he look like?
• 3:38
  Was he wearing a pair of cowboy boots?
• 3:40
  Like, I need every detail about this man.
• 3:43
  Oh, no.
• 3:44
  He was not wearing cowboy boots.
• 3:45
  Actually, he was a handsome black band.
• 3:49
  So--
• 3:50
  Well--
• 3:51
  You know, if he wouldn't--
• 3:52
  OK, if I wasn't married, he wouldn't have
• 3:54
  led with a bad line.
• 3:55
  Maybe I would have shouted with him.
• 3:57
  I wonder how to shout.
• 3:58
  I wonder how to shout with a bad look.
• 3:59
  He was a bad looking.
• 4:00
  He was a bad looking.
• 4:01
  [LAUGHTER]
• 4:03
  Like, yeah, everything else is, you know--
• 4:06
  --fighting against you.
• 4:08
  E-below it, but E-bel it.
• 4:11
  Well, that is a true--
• 4:12
  What have you been doing?
• 4:15
  I know.
• 4:15
  I've been artsing crafting and getting poorly hit on.
• 4:17
  What are you doing?
• 4:18
  Yeah, since we last recorded, I have
• 4:22
  been public speaking for an insane amount of time
• 4:25
  about taxes.
• 4:28
  Not great, not fun.
• 4:30
  Much more fun to talk public speak about, you know,
• 4:33
  silly goofy things like pop culture.
• 4:35
  I fell asleep for a second there, I'm sorry.
• 4:37
  Yeah, same.
• 4:38
  Same.
• 4:38
  I just was up there, you know.
• 4:40
  Now it's my soul memory.
• 4:41
  So I, you know, just--
• 4:44
  if you don't know, I speak for a living.
• 4:48
  And I do a lot of educational content for taxes.
• 4:53
  Never would I have ever thought.
• 4:55
  But we're here, and it's paying the bills.
• 4:58
  Paying the very expensive San Francisco bills.
• 5:01
  And then I have been in a public beef with my neighbor.
• 5:06
  So that's really about it.
• 5:08
  Oh my god, I am so here.
• 5:09
  OK, everyone.
• 5:10
  So Olivia has this neighbor who--
• 5:13
  look, it's not loud.
• 5:14
  She doesn't party.
• 5:16
  She just exists.
• 5:17
  And this lady, you would think that you're
• 5:19
  like throwing ragers every week and--
• 5:22
  At this point, I'm going to, because if you're going to literally
• 5:26
  start something over being loud, like I'll show you loud.
• 5:30
  You know, she had the city, like a city worker come
• 5:33
  and look at my backyard on Friday.
• 5:36
  Don't you guys share?
• 5:36
  Yeah, we share a backyard.
• 5:38
  Yeah, she's insane.
• 5:40
  And so the city called my landlord.
• 5:42
  My landlord was like, this is insane.
• 5:45
  Like, she's crazy.
• 5:47
  So yeah, yesterday I came home and whipped out the speaker
• 5:51
  that I hadn't been using because I was trying to be a nice neighbor.
• 5:54
  And I, on full blast, played "Fuck You" by Liliana
• 5:58
  in every single song that I could think of that had the word "Fuck You"
• 6:01
  in it.
• 6:02
  Yeah.
• 6:03
  Yeah, "Fuck Last."
• 6:03
  So we've entered the pediatra of me living here.
• 6:09
  Yes.
• 6:09
  I just want to gaslight this lady.
• 6:11
  I want you to sign her up for just spam mailers.
• 6:15
  I don't know.
• 6:15
  Somehow, we need to just send every organization in the world
• 6:19
  papers to her.
• 6:20
  Just like, I don't know.
• 6:22
  If there's states that she doesn't live in,
• 6:25
  you should place him ghost.
• 6:26
  Just play "Year Zero" by ghost to just break her the fuck out.
• 6:30
  Because it just says, "Ale-Sate, no over and over."
• 6:33
  That's actually not a bad idea.
• 6:36
  If killing a mucinus didn't work, maybe killing with ghost.
• 6:43
  I love it.
• 6:43
  Yeah, other than that, I've just--
• 6:45
  I've just been hanging out.
• 6:46
  The weather here is amazing.
• 6:48
  It's my first San Francisco summer, as you guys are all aware.
• 6:52
  And yeah, I've just been walking around.
• 6:55
  The flowers are so pretty.
• 6:56
  They're blooming.
• 6:57
  It's perfect.
• 6:59
  Love it.
• 7:00
  I've been going on three mile walks every day.
• 7:02
  Oh my god.
• 7:04
  I wish I was there with you.
• 7:05
  And I'm going to try to come visit "Sari Babe," not "You Baby,"
• 7:09
  "Andry Babe."
• 7:11
  Yeah.
• 7:11
  Well, he doesn't listen.
• 7:12
  So we're fine.
• 7:13
  You won't know.
• 7:14
  We could be planning his death on this, any other way around.
• 7:17
  We could be planning his murder, and he would have no idea.
• 7:22
  Or signing him up for text, you never know.
• 7:24
  The dude.
• 7:25
  He's like, "You have a good podcast?"
• 7:26
  Yeah, great, babe.
• 7:28
  Yeah, yeah.
• 7:29
  He made some really good points.
• 7:32
  There's a lot of pop culture.
• 7:34
  So I guess we will talk some pop culture.
• 7:36
  You what?
• 7:38
  All pop culture.
• 7:39
  All pop culture, no murder.
• 7:41
  No murder.
• 7:42
  with it. We've talked about murder a lot in this show but it's always, it's always, I don't know.
• 7:48
  Culture murder or fake murder, fiction, that's the word I'm looking for.
• 7:53
  Sometimes we talk true crime quite often. Oh, you're back, you're back.
• 7:58
  Okay. It's a murder cast. It's murder.
• 8:01
  Just kidding. Okay. We are going to talk about pop culture after this quick break.
• 8:08
  We are going to give you the movies that we are most excited to see this summer.
• 8:12
  So it's hot as Valk and Arizona in the summer and kind of chilly in San Francisco.
• 8:23
  So Olivia and I both have reasons to see as many summer movies as possible.
• 8:28
  So let's talk about what we are looking forward to.
• 8:32
  But first, let's talk Patreon, want a shout out full access to our new ECJ pops.
• 8:38
  A sneak peak at the uncensored video of the episodes before anybody else gets them.
• 8:46
  Then join the price is definitely right for just a little bit of cash.
• 8:49
  You can get a reward plus you're supporting us as we bring you the best pop culture on a weekly basis.
• 8:55
  Go to patreon.com/popculturejunkiepodcast and make my day.
• 9:01
  So this summer superheroes and sequels are expected to rule the box office.
• 9:06
  And we are going to break down three each for you.
• 9:09
  Given you six movies that we think you should see this summer with your money.
• 9:15
  Olivia, do you want to go first?
• 9:16
  So when I think of movies that I'm most excited for this summer,
• 9:22
  there are quite a few on my list.
• 9:24
  But I think this one will already be out by the time this episode release.
• 9:29
  But you know that I had to do a super horny hot romantic comedy with our main man, Pedro Pascal.
• 9:38
  And this movie is the material list.
• 9:41
  So it has Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal.
• 9:45
  Oh, just hot straight out the stuff.
• 9:49
  Don't even read any other information.
• 9:51
  But it's a romantic comedy set in New York City.
• 9:55
  And it focuses on Dakota Johnson's character. She is a matchmaker.
• 10:00
  And so she's kind of like this cynical woman who is just focused on finding love for other people.
• 10:07
  But love seems to be complicated for her until she meets Pedro Pascal.
• 10:13
  And then also at the time, like Pedro Pascal supposed to be like this really rich,
• 10:18
  hot man. Of course, it's Pedro.
• 10:21
  So yes, and then she also at the same time reconnects with her flawed ex, John, who is Chris Evans on the same exact night.
• 10:31
  And so she's kind of like going through second chance romance and hot,
• 10:37
  millionaire romance all together.
• 10:42
  And it just seems amazing.
• 10:43
  I don't know if you've seen any of like the press tour.
• 10:46
  Yes.
• 10:47
  And it's pretty as hell.
• 10:48
  And Pedro wants to fill whole.
• 10:50
  Yes.
• 10:51
  It looks so good.
• 10:52
  Literally they did this photo shoot and they like released a video of them doing it.
• 10:57
  And I've never wanted to be Dakota Johnson more.
• 11:00
  I mean, aside from the nepot baby part of her life as well,
• 11:04
  but I don't think I've ever wanted to be Dakota Johnson.
• 11:06
  Yeah.
• 11:07
  Well, I'd like to be as rich as Dakota Johnson.
• 11:09
  That's fair.
• 11:10
  That's fair.
• 11:11
  It's so good.
• 11:13
  And how is she going to choose between them?
• 11:15
  Like this needs to be a why choose romance, honestly.
• 11:18
  She just they like is there.
• 11:21
  How do you choose?
• 11:22
  Yeah, that'd be really funny if it just ended up being a polyamory.
• 11:26
  Oh my god.
• 11:29
  I would actually love that so much.
• 11:32
  It would really like subvert the genre quite a bit if they went for it.
• 11:36
  But no, it looks really, really good.
• 11:38
  And I am so here for rom coms to come back.
• 11:43
  I think in the 2010s, we really started to move away from them.
• 11:48
  Like, I need this, like this time periods, how to lose a guy in 10 days.
• 11:56
  I need like a good, see all good, rom com.
• 11:59
  I think we really over corrected.
• 12:01
  And everybody says that like I wanted to come back and everyone said with anyone
• 12:08
  about you, like rom coms were so back, but I didn't really think anyone,
• 12:13
  but you was that great.
• 12:14
  And you know, like I said, I went to high school with Glenn Powell.
• 12:18
  He has his place, but didn't love it.
• 12:23
  Didn't love it.
• 12:23
  Everyone says a great chemistry.
• 12:25
  I don't agree.
• 12:26
  I have that it's that good.
• 12:28
  Like, I don't know.
• 12:29
  No one that I talked to said that it was that amazing.
• 12:31
  But yeah, it wasn't.
• 12:33
  It was good to look at their both.
• 12:34
  Yeah, we're so starved from a rom com perspective that we're like, oh, we're so back.
• 12:40
  No, I need a good one.
• 12:41
  I agree. Palm Springs was like the last good rom com that I really liked with
• 12:47
  piston, miliati and Andy Sandberg.
• 12:51
  I don't know if I've seen that.
• 12:53
  Oh my god, it's so good.
• 12:55
  You watch it.
• 12:56
  It's basically groundhog say, but romantic.
• 12:58
  It's really cute.
• 12:59
  Yeah.
• 13:00
  Yeah.
• 13:01
  And you know, I don't know if I put my full faith in Dakota Johnson being the one to take us
• 13:06
  to the rom com.
• 13:07
  Renato said it's, but I know.
• 13:10
  You know, we can hope we can hope take his home, girly.
• 13:13
  You did not take home for 50 shades of gray, but we'll give you another chance.
• 13:17
  We'll forget about Madam Webb.
• 13:19
  I'll all be forgiven if you give us a free sum with a scale and Captain America.
• 13:25
  Always forgiven.
• 13:26
  It's by yeah.
• 13:28
  Yeah.
• 13:28
  Well, wouldn't it be the Mandalorian and Captain America?
• 13:31
  Actually, it would be Mr. Fantastic, which is a pro big set segway because the movie
• 13:39
  that I am most excited about is the Fantastic Four first steps.
• 13:43
  It comes out on July 25th and it stars Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic.
• 13:50
  Vanessa Kirby, a su storm, Joseph Quinn as the human torch.
• 13:56
  We all know him, of course, as Eddie from stranger things.
• 13:59
  And a ebon Moss back rack has been grim a K a cousin from the bear.
• 14:08
  I am Wig in that movie.
• 14:11
  A Trojus.
• 14:12
  Oh, and Fantastic Four.
• 14:14
  It's bad.
• 14:15
  It's really bad.
• 14:16
  The blonde is the derivative for it.
• 14:18
  I am so excited for this movie.
• 14:21
  So the Fantastic Four, this will be the Oh gosh, fourth, fourth, fourth,
• 14:26
  yeah, like 1700s.
• 14:28
  Yeah.
• 14:29
  So they went up like the 60s or 70s or something.
• 14:33
  And then the ones with Jessica Alba.
• 14:38
  Thank you.
• 14:39
  Jessica Alba back in the early 2000s.
• 14:43
  And then there was a horrible one that came out in 2015 with Michael B.
• 14:47
  Jordan was so bad.
• 14:48
  And none of those were in the MCU though, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
• 14:52
  Though we did see Chris Evans, Johnny Torch or human torch.
• 14:56
  I was like, isn't Chris Evans in the Jessica Alba one?
• 14:59
  Yes.
• 15:00
  Chris Evans plays the human torch.
• 15:02
  And he briefly shows up in Deadpool versus Wolverine because it's different
• 15:09
  multiverse and gets his skin ripped off.
• 15:11
  So that was the end of that.
• 15:13
  Now, geez.
• 15:15
  I'll cheat by the bus.
• 15:17
  But this is technically the MCU's first whack at the Fantastic Four.
• 15:23
  It takes place in another universe.
• 15:26
  Of course, like a lot of MCU go these two.
• 15:29
  And it will be what is called the first family of the MCU.
• 15:34
  So they, if you don't know anything about the Fantastic Four, they are a group of
• 15:38
  astronauts go up to space.
• 15:41
  Some galactic helmet book shit happens.
• 15:45
  If they come back and they are super powered.
• 15:47
  So Mr. Fantastic.
• 15:49
  My first family.
• 15:50
  What does that mean?
• 15:51
  Because it's like the presidential first family.
• 15:54
  I don't know.
• 15:55
  It's their kind of known as saying the same words again.
• 15:58
  Yeah.
• 15:59
  How do I describe this?
• 16:00
  They are really the only
• 16:03
  family intact family in the MCU.
• 16:05
  Like a husband, a wife.
• 16:07
  It is set in the Kennedy era.
• 16:10
  So it does have that kind of 60s presidential vibes going on.
• 16:13
  Yeah.
• 16:13
  There are husband and wife and a brother.
• 16:15
  So they're all related to each other.
• 16:18
  Yeah.
• 16:18
  You don't really see that a lot.
• 16:20
  Yeah.
• 16:21
  The thing literally it's called the thing.
• 16:23
  So you don't see that.
• 16:28
  Super hero knowledge.
• 16:29
  You got the rock thing, you know, you accidentally got it correct.
• 16:32
  You know, when it's right, it's right.
• 16:35
  When it's right, it's right.
• 16:37
  I mean, it's definitely their names are pretty on the nose.
• 16:41
  Like Sue Storm is Vanessa Kirby, the invisible woman.
• 16:45
  Guess what her power is?
• 16:46
  She should go invisible.
• 16:48
  Human torch can turn into a torch.
• 16:51
  Mr. Fantastic can stretch his limbs really far.
• 16:55
  And then the thing is just very strong and turntable rock.
• 16:59
  Yeah.
• 17:00
  What was Jessica Alba in it hot?
• 17:03
  I know that.
• 17:04
  She was very hot and she was Sue Storm, the invisible woman.
• 17:07
  Okay.
• 17:07
  Yes.
• 17:08
  You know, not someone who needs to be invisible.
• 17:11
  That is like peak hot Jessica Alba.
• 17:14
  And she's so pretty in that movie.
• 17:16
  And in Sinciti, not to get distracted.
• 17:20
  But oh, yeah.
• 17:21
  No, she's gorgeous.
• 17:22
  In Sinciti.
• 17:22
  I do think Vanessa Kirby is going to do a good job.
• 17:25
  And I hope that her and Pedro have some good chemistry for Sue Storm and
• 17:29
  Reed Richards because we don't have a lot of married upholz in the MCU, right?
• 17:34
  Where they're actually like a family first before super heroes.
• 17:39
  And I guess that's why they call them the first family.
• 17:41
  They're family first.
• 17:42
  Married.
• 17:45
  Just.
• 17:46
  Then.
• 17:47
  Disco.
• 17:48
  Stan.
• 17:48
  Disco.
• 17:50
  Then.
• 17:50
  So that should be wonderful.
• 17:53
  Well, hopefully that is better than all of them.
• 17:55
  I mean, the only thing I remember from Fantastic Four is that Jessica Alba was
• 17:59
  really hot and it.
• 18:00
  And that was about it.
• 18:01
  So it was not good.
• 18:03
  It was not a good movie.
• 18:04
  And you said the 2008 one was bad.
• 18:08
  But I do think that Pedro can make anything good.
• 18:11
  So.
• 18:11
  I think I think it has a really good cast.
• 18:15
  Julia Garner is going to play the silver server, which I'm in for.
• 18:18
  Did you ever watch O's art?
• 18:20
  Yes.
• 18:21
  Oh, shit about.
• 18:22
  I don't know.
• 18:23
  So she's about.
• 18:25
  Yeah, she's the silver server.
• 18:27
  So she's bad.
• 18:27
  Oh, yeah.
• 18:29
  That's amazing.
• 18:30
  Yeah, it should be good.
• 18:32
  I'm very excited.
• 18:33
  I think that's my top interest this summer.
• 18:36
  What's your next?
• 18:37
  Maybe they're excited for.
• 18:38
  So childhood me is heading into a summer to watch this movie.
• 18:44
  And adult me is heading into a summer to watch this movie.
• 18:48
  And it is a freaky or Friday.
• 18:50
  It is the long-awaited sequel from the 2003 freaky Friday,
• 18:56
  where we have Jamie Lee Curtis and the one and only Lindsey Lohan.
• 19:00
  Yeah, I'm so excited.
• 19:02
  I'm speaking of the Lohanisans.
• 19:04
  Did you see that she denied getting a facelift?
• 19:06
  Yeah, come on.
• 19:08
  Yeah.
• 19:09
  Her denying a facelift.
• 19:10
  Like, girl, we have eyes.
• 19:13
  I love eyes.
• 19:14
  I was like, I just did an allergy test.
• 19:17
  And I cut out all of my allergens.
• 19:19
  I'm like, did it suck your face back?
• 19:22
  Like what do you mean?
• 19:24
  I didn't know allergies did that to you.
• 19:26
  Crazy to deny that.
• 19:28
  And she looks incredible.
• 19:30
  So just admit it.
• 19:31
  Admit it, girl.
• 19:32
  Yeah, what's that?
• 19:34
  But what time?
• 19:35
  It's a girl you were out of the spotlight for like 10 years.
• 19:38
  What do you mean?
• 19:38
  Yeah.
• 19:39
  You had all the time in the world, but between the Christmas movie stealing
• 19:44
  that Middle Eastern child, no one was looking at you.
• 19:48
  Do you remember when she did that on an Instagram live?
• 19:53
  She went live with this woman and tried to steal her kids saying like she was
• 19:59
  trafficking the child, but it was just like Middle Eastern woman like walking
• 20:04
  down the street with her son.
• 20:05
  It's actually pretty crazy.
• 20:07
  That is a hard left turn from talking about.
• 20:10
  Okay, it's that hard.
• 20:11
  If you've never seen it, Google like Lindsay Lohan tries to steal child,
• 20:17
  it is absolutely insane.
• 20:19
  Okay.
• 20:19
  And is that hell of a drug?
• 20:21
  Kid, what year was this?
• 20:22
  It was, it wasn't not that long ago.
• 20:26
  I was within the last like five years, I think.
• 20:28
  Oh my God.
• 20:29
  And it was when she was like living in Dubai for a while.
• 20:32
  I don't know if it was actually in steals and try, like,
• 20:35
  I don't know if it happened to Dubai, but that was when Lindsay was in her,
• 20:40
  like, I'm a Dubai woman.
• 20:41
  Like, doing things out there.
• 20:44
  So very, very interesting.
• 20:46
  But, you know, squirrel, sorry, hard left turn.
• 20:50
  But yeah, I was very upset that she denied her faceless because like we all have eyes.
• 20:54
  Yeah.
• 20:54
  But within this little hand of sauce, let's hope it's better than the Netflix Christmas
• 20:59
  movie because if it's really, really bad, I'm going to be quite sad, but I have to see
• 21:04
  it. It's like a train wreck.
• 21:05
  Yeah.
• 21:06
  You can't look away from, you know, but I am hoping for the best freaky.
• 21:10
  Chad Michael Murge is in it.
• 21:12
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  But he also got a weird facelift.
• 21:15
  So he does it for me.
• 21:18
  I don't know.
• 21:19
  No, he doesn't do it for me.
• 21:21
  I like to know that I was younger, but again, blonde men.
• 21:24
  That's true.
• 21:26
  I know don't trust a blonde man, but I don't know.
• 21:29
  He does it for me.
• 21:30
  It does.
• 21:30
  But yeah, I'm excited for that one too.
• 21:33
  Yeah.
• 21:33
  The story of Freaky Friday picks up 10 years after the original body swap.
• 21:40
  And Anna, who is Lindsay Lohan, is now a mom herself and has a daughter and a soon to be
• 21:46
  stepdaughter.
• 21:47
  And so it's a little bit of like, you'll see when you're older, that age old, like, you know,
• 21:54
  you hate me now, but you're going to be me in 10 years or whatever.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  And so I think it'll be really, really good.
• 22:00
  I mean, we have the main heavy hitters.
• 22:03
  They actually got everyone back from the original one, like all of her band mates and things
• 22:09
  like that.
• 22:09
  All of the band make their back on that's cool.
• 22:12
  Yeah.
• 22:13
  I am excited to see if they're going to do music for it.
• 22:17
  I'm sure they will.
• 22:19
  Any chance for Lindsay to try to sing.
• 22:20
  Yeah.
• 22:21
  Yeah.
• 22:22
  We'll see.
• 22:22
  It did the voice hold up.
• 22:24
  I mean, I don't know if it was that great when we were going through it.
• 22:28
  I'm just shitting on Lindsay Lohan right now.
• 22:30
  So excited for this movie.
• 22:32
  God, she sucks.
• 22:33
  Her old lady ad that just came out.
• 22:35
  I almost bought the set she was wearing.
• 22:37
  No, because it was really.
• 22:39
  But then she looks amazing.
• 22:40
  She looks incredible.
• 22:42
  Yeah.
• 22:42
  So yeah, I'm excited for that too.
• 22:44
  The next movie that I am very excited about is Superman James guns Superman comes out on July 11.
• 22:53
  And I know is it time for another Superman movie?
• 22:57
  Did we just have one in Rick Pabble was great?
• 23:01
  Those movies were great.
• 23:03
  Don't you say that about my man?
• 23:07
  I know he was a wonderful Superman, but I think that Zack Snyder's DC universe.
• 23:14
  It was time for it to come to an end.
• 23:16
  And I'm excited to see what James gun does with it from all the trailers.
• 23:21
  It looks a lot more bright and colorful, which you would expect from like a Superman movie where
• 23:26
  Zack Snyder's were all kind of like brim lighting kind of dark and moody.
• 23:30
  This one has a lot more of like the primary colors scape going on.
• 23:35
  And it just seems more hopeful, which is kind of what I would want from a Superman.
• 23:39
  Who Superman?
• 23:40
  It is a guy named David or in sweat.
• 23:43
  I honestly haven't seen him in anything else that I can think of.
• 23:47
  Oh, wait, no, he was in Pearl and Twisters.
• 23:50
  And he is 31 years old.
• 23:52
  He looks great in the uniform.
• 23:54
  Are you looking at the picture of him?
• 23:55
  Yeah.
• 23:56
  Racial.
• 23:58
  And I had an add a picture of a yeah, like an add a picture.
• 24:01
  I saw her eyes go on the screen.
• 24:03
  Right.
• 24:05
  Okay.
• 24:05
  He's he's good.
• 24:06
  It's it's still not Henry Cavill.
• 24:09
  No one is Henry Cavill.
• 24:10
  Henry Cavill is an alien himself who descended from the sky is a potted.
• 24:16
  Do you ever like think about Henry Cavill and be like, what is actually wrong with him?
• 24:22
  Yes, I do.
• 24:24
  Like something wrong with him.
• 24:25
  And like physically like, do you are you missing a toe?
• 24:31
  Do you have a really tiny member?
• 24:33
  I feel like he had like you cannot be that level.
• 24:36
  There has to be a flaw.
• 24:37
  Like I always think of bedazzled in.
• 24:41
  Yeah, where he's like, I want to be an NBA star.
• 24:44
  I want to have this.
• 24:44
  I want to have everything.
• 24:45
  Yeah, there's always a really tiny penis.
• 24:47
  He always makes me think about.
• 24:50
  Have we ever seen Henry Cavill's butt cheeks on film in the Witcher?
• 24:54
  Oh, you're right.
• 24:56
  He gets out of the tub in the Witcher and he's gotten great ass to.
• 24:59
  God damn it.
• 25:00
  It's great.
• 25:00
  Everything.
• 25:01
  There's no flaws.
• 25:02
  Maybe he's a really bad person because that's important to guys.
• 25:06
  But I feel like that's not true either.
• 25:08
  Not if you're that hot.
• 25:09
  I don't know.
• 25:10
  You could be a little evil if you're that hot like you're allowed to be a little bit evil.
• 25:15
  Yeah.
• 25:15
  Okay.
• 25:16
  Okay.
• 25:16
  Okay.
• 25:16
  I'm going to go through the rest of this cast real fast because it's Jack Rachel
• 25:20
  bras the hand plays the lowest lane and she's wonderful.
• 25:23
  We love her.
• 25:24
  I am excited for that.
• 25:25
  I think she'll do a good job.
• 25:26
  Yes.
• 25:27
  Nicholas Holt plays Lex Luthor and I have the biggest treasure.
• 25:32
  I love him.
• 25:33
  He's been in a lot of things too.
• 25:35
  Just like Pedro lately.
• 25:37
  They're really going because he has been in a lot of things.
• 25:40
  It's he plays Beast in Marvel and X-Men.
• 25:44
  But does that version exist in the MCU yet?
• 25:47
  I don't know.
• 25:47
  I'm going to have to think on this a little bit.
• 25:49
  Nathan Billy and plays the Green Lantern.
• 25:51
  Isabella Merced plays Hawk Girl right now.
• 25:54
  She is starring in the last of us and Millie Alcock from House of the Dragon is going
• 26:00
  to play Kara Zore L. A. K. A. Super girl and I'm very excited for this.
• 26:04
  All right.
• 26:10
  Olivia, what is one final movie that you were looking forward to this summer?
• 26:13
  So oldie bit of goodie.
• 26:16
  I guess an oldie series that is sometimes just like a warm blanket.
• 26:22
  And when I say it's warm blanket, everyone's going to be like, this bit just psycho.
• 26:26
  What do you mean you should go to a mental hospital?
• 26:30
  It is the conjuring last rights.
• 26:33
  No, I totally agree.
• 26:34
  I think you're psycho for liking a warm blanket because I like a cold.
• 26:37
  Oh, it depends.
• 26:40
  I mean, if I'm in Arizona, I want to cold blanket in a place that is in Arizona.
• 26:47
  I like a warm blanket, you know, let's talk more about blankets.
• 26:51
  This is what the people really want.
• 26:54
  So the conjuring last rights is the ninth and reportedly final installment in the conjuring universe.
• 27:01
  They've set this like 17 times though.
• 27:04
  And so the map isn't mapping on nine and 17, but you get the point.
• 27:09
  So it is set in 1986, which is five years after the events of the devil made me do it.
• 27:18
  The film follows Ed and Lorraine as they always do as they consider retiring
• 27:23
  from paranormal activities and investigations.
• 27:27
  And their plans are interrupted when they're approached by the smurled smurled.
• 27:32
  They're a Pennsylvania couple experiencing violent hauntings, demonic attacks in their homes.
• 27:40
  So kind of the same, you know, antics that we've seen in the other conjuring movies.
• 27:45
  And it's really kind of them grappling with like, can they keep doing it?
• 27:50
  And so it has Vera Farmaga, Patrick Wilson.
• 27:55
  We have Mia Tomlinson as Judy Warren, who is Ed and Lorraine's daughter.
• 28:01
  So if it is the last one, I mean, I don't know how they're going to keep getting Vera and Patrick back for this franchise.
• 28:09
  I mean, it's probably making them quite a bit of money.
• 28:11
  But I just love the conjuring.
• 28:13
  I think the original conjuring conjuring one and conjuring two are so freaking good.
• 28:19
  I agree. They're so good and so scary.
• 28:21
  Like they're made.
• 28:22
  Yeah.
• 28:23
  Even if you add in the none, I think the none was really scary as well.
• 28:27
  Oh, the none is so scary.
• 28:28
  The movies are just so good.
• 28:31
  And ultimately, like it is a little bit, I mean, it's the ninth one.
• 28:36
  You know, we're going to get it.
• 28:37
  But I think that Ed and Lorraine Warren, as themselves, are very interesting characters.
• 28:44
  I mean, I guess it's a good question for you because there's a big controversy over
• 28:48
  if they were like faking things, right?
• 28:51
  Yeah.
• 28:52
  Do you believe them?
• 28:54
  You know, I was listening to a like those podcasts pretty recently, like a haunting
• 29:02
  paranormal thing.
• 29:03
  And I don't remember what case it was, but they made a pretty strong case that they were like faking it.
• 29:10
  And it was for money.
• 29:11
  Yeah.
• 29:11
  I don't know.
• 29:14
  I maybe they brought people comfort.
• 29:17
  You know, people who are going through things and they make it feel like that placebo effect.
• 29:22
  Or maybe they were some of the times, sure, they did something and then other times they kind of
• 29:28
  in that's the word.
• 29:30
  I'm like, embellished a little bit.
• 29:32
  Yeah.
• 29:32
  I can see.
• 29:33
  So I don't know how to feel about that.
• 29:35
  But I do think they are very interesting people.
• 29:37
  Like the fact that they really exist.
• 29:39
  They don't look anything like Vera and Patrick will say what glue up for sure.
• 29:45
  Yeah.
• 29:45
  I think that the Hollywood glue up.
• 29:47
  I mean, I think where them being frauds really really came into like American culture was with
• 29:53
  Amni Bill.
• 29:54
  They were kind of like brought in there and and seen as fakes and stuff like that.
• 30:00
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  I mean, I think even if they didn't tell the truth and they were faking things like they really
• 30:05
  brought like ghost hunting and paranormal into the zeitgeist and pop culture and things like that.
• 30:12
  I think it's very timely that Annabelle just escaped the doll.
• 30:17
  Did you hear about that?
• 30:19
  Yeah.
• 30:20
  Like the real life doll.
• 30:22
  Sorry.
• 30:22
  Yeah.
• 30:22
  Looking up because Patrick Wilson and Ghost released a song together.
• 30:26
  Oh, look at you.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:27
  Look at you.
• 30:28
  And it's from like the red room or something.
• 30:30
  Oh, that's insidious.
• 30:32
  I would eat Patrick Wilson's in both of those franchises.
• 30:35
  There's an eight.
• 30:36
  Found you in the city.
• 30:37
  But I get them mixed up in my head all the time.
• 30:41
  Also amazing.
• 30:42
  Why is he in both of them?
• 30:43
  Because Patrick Wilson is in like every horror movie.
• 30:47
  He has a good like dad goes crazy or like older man in a horror movie.
• 30:53
  Or in a hard candy guy gets his balls.
• 30:55
  Amard.
• 30:56
  Yes.
• 30:57
  Really great movie.
• 30:58
  Also a great movie.
• 30:59
  But yes, I did see that Annabelle was just stolen or escaped.
• 31:02
  Yeah.
• 31:03
  So she escaped and they found her in New Orleans, which is like the sketchiest place to have.
• 31:09
  Yeah.
• 31:09
  And the most haunted place.
• 31:12
  That's like she just went to where she felt comfortable.
• 31:15
  Yeah, I don't like it.
• 31:17
  I think that the Annabelle doll and what it really looks like is like extra disturbing.
• 31:23
  I've never seen what it actually looks like.
• 31:26
  If I look at a picture of it, well, like, be haunted.
• 31:28
  No.
• 31:29
  It's a doll.
• 31:31
  I feel like she's going to like come out of the screen.
• 31:33
  Annabelle real doll.
• 31:36
  Yeah.
• 31:38
  It's a yeah.
• 31:39
  She's a raggedy and yeah, raggedy and yeah, it's literally so she's like, so be possessed.
• 31:45
  The movie Annabelle so sketch so scary.
• 31:48
  My grandma had a raggedy and growing up and I love the.
• 31:52
  Well, maybe it was Annabelle.
• 31:54
  Maybe any.
• 31:55
  This raggedy and it's kind of tall though.
• 31:57
  The Annabelle one.
• 31:58
  That's that's too tall.
• 32:00
  That's the problem.
• 32:03
  She's tall.
• 32:04
  But like they're a little demon.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:08
  I don't know.
• 32:09
  I don't know if it's legs were shorter.
• 32:12
  She could chill.
• 32:13
  Yeah.
• 32:14
  Listen, a good old fashioned raggedy and an Andy doll have little stubble eggs.
• 32:19
  That thing's like six feet tall.
• 32:21
  I don't trust it.
• 32:21
  Okay.
• 32:22
  Who would you rather fight?
• 32:24
  Like who's who's the less scary of these two dolls?
• 32:28
  Okay.
• 32:28
  Okay.
• 32:29
  Shucky or Annabelle?
• 32:30
  I think I could get along with Annabelle.
• 32:32
  No.
• 32:34
  You know, I think I could get along with Shucky in the new Shucky movie.
• 32:37
  He's got like a trans kid or in the Chucky show and he's like kind of chilling.
• 32:42
  Do you become friends with him?
• 32:44
  You only get out of your back, right?
• 32:45
  I don't know.
• 32:46
  Probably not.
• 32:47
  I also, I would agree.
• 32:50
  But for a very different reason, I would like, I think that Chucky is just a murderer in
• 32:57
  a doll body.
• 32:58
  And then Annabelle is a fucking demon.
• 33:01
  Oh, that's fair.
• 33:06
  That's probably the more important reason than I.
• 33:08
  I think he's a chiller.
• 33:10
  Chucky would like a guy.
• 33:12
  Who could I smell good joy with?
• 33:14
  Chucky would say you're hot for a golf girl.
• 33:17
  And he only likes a golf girl, you know, Jennifer.
• 33:21
  That's true.
• 33:22
  But then you'd have to contend with Jennifer Tilly.
• 33:25
  Pride of Chucky.
• 33:26
  Do Jennifer Tilly can step on me all she wants.
• 33:29
  That's fine.
• 33:30
  Kill me.
• 33:31
  Speaking of Jennifer Tilly, you're not a real housewife person.
• 33:36
  But she is on the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
• 33:38
  It's a really.
• 33:39
  Yeah, it's great.
• 33:41
  She's so funny with all of those women.
• 33:44
  They're all like, my, my, my, my, my, and she's like, I'm super rich.
• 33:46
  I have Simson's money.
• 33:47
  Like I'm just here to party.
• 33:49
  Not the Simson's money.
• 33:51
  I love that.
• 33:52
  She made a joke like, Oh, honey, you think Chucky's paying for this jewelry?
• 33:57
  No.
• 33:57
  I love us self-aware queen.
• 34:01
  Let's.
• 34:02
  All of this discussion also leads.
• 34:06
  Perfectly into the last movie that I'm excited about for summer.
• 34:09
  Well, not the last one.
• 34:10
  I'm excited for a lot of these.
• 34:11
  But the last one I'm going to talk about Megan 2.0.
• 34:14
  Another murderous doll robot thing.
• 34:17
  So two years after the events of Megan, Megan went rogue and embarked on a murderous
• 34:23
  rampage, the creator, Jim has become an advocate for government oversight of AI.
• 34:29
  Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military, great weapon known as
• 34:34
  Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy.
• 34:37
  However, as Amelia's self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders.
• 34:44
  In order to stop Amelia, Jim decides to resurrect Megan, making her faster, stronger and more
• 34:51
  lethal.
• 34:52
  The trailer for this movie looks fucking absurd.
• 34:56
  Yeah, it looks absurd.
• 34:58
  It's like it turned Megan.
• 35:00
  The first one was kind of a horror movie.
• 35:02
  This one looks like just an action movie.
• 35:05
  It looks like I can see that.
• 35:07
  Unnecessary and over the top and stupid.
• 35:11
  And I am so excited for it.
• 35:13
  Yeah, it's like really leaning into how ridiculous it is.
• 35:16
  Yes, you know what?
• 35:17
  AI doll versus AI doll.
• 35:20
  Exactly.
• 35:22
  I am so excited for it.
• 35:23
  I think it's going to be very self-aware from the trailer.
• 35:27
  Megan says she's going to pick somebody in the vagina or something.
• 35:31
  Hold on to your vagina.
• 35:32
  Like it's just it's so stupid.
• 35:34
  And they compensate for the actress who plays her getting older by when they remake Megan.
• 35:41
  She's like, make me a little taller.
• 35:42
  Like, okay, perfect.
• 35:44
  So Megan is going to star Alice and Williams as Jim again, the creator of Megan and then.
• 35:56
  It also brings back Jenna Davis as the voice of Megan and then Amy Donald as the dancer who played in
• 36:04
  just like the body work for Megan.
• 36:06
  And then of course they have all the teaching special effects on top of her.
• 36:10
  Make her look like a doll.
• 36:11
  But all of the dance, the crazy dance moves in the hallway.
• 36:14
  That was all this little girl named Amy Donald.
• 36:16
  Yeah, that'll be it.
• 36:17
  That'll be a good, let's silly goofy one.
• 36:19
  But it's like aware of itself.
• 36:22
  And yeah, it really goes for it.
• 36:25
  The honorary mention, New Jurassic Park movie, one and only reason Jonathan Bailey in those slutty little glasses.
• 36:33
  Yeah, the slutty is little glasses.
• 36:36
  God, he just so handsome.
• 36:38
  Literally.
• 36:39
  So we have Pedro.
• 36:43
  We have Superman.
• 36:45
  Can't remember his name.
• 36:47
  And we have David.
• 36:48
  Jonathan.
• 36:49
  What?
• 36:49
  Doesn't matter.
• 36:51
  Jonathan Bailey in those slutty little glasses.
• 36:55
  It's going to be so good.
• 36:56
  A summer for the girls and the gaze, baby.
• 37:00
  Yes.
• 37:01
  Yes.
• 37:02
  It does feel there's a lot of superhero movies.
• 37:05
  So I don't know if those are for the girls on the case.
• 37:07
  I'm a girl and a gay and they're like them.
• 37:10
  Yeah.
• 37:11
  Oh, happy Pride Month, everybody by the way.
• 37:14
  Very happy Pride month.
• 37:16
  I am so excited.
• 37:17
  You know what you should do instead of coming forward Labor Day.
• 37:21
  You should just come for us up Pride.
• 37:24
  I know that's like this month though.
• 37:27
  I am literally going out of town like every week of this month.
• 37:31
  It's okay.
• 37:31
  So you hate me.
• 37:32
  I love you so much.
• 37:35
  So you hate gay people.
• 37:37
  Okay.
• 37:37
  So what you're saying is you hate the gaze.
• 37:39
  You hate me and you hate gay people.
• 37:41
  Okay.
• 37:42
  Phoenix Pride is until October because it's 145 degrees outside.
• 37:47
  So we just got our fries in October.
• 37:50
  So you should come to Phoenix for Phoenix Pride.
• 37:53
  I mean, maybe, but like no one's talking about Phoenix Pride as it's like a good thing.
• 37:59
  As San Francisco Pride is like amazing and you're worthy.
• 38:03
  Next year.
• 38:04
  Next summer, let's make it a plan.
• 38:06
  I've heard this.
• 38:07
  I've heard this before.
• 38:08
  I literally asked you to play.
• 38:11
  This is your first summer there.
• 38:12
  No, no, no, because on your birthday, I said everyone should come to San Francisco for Pride.
• 38:18
  And we all said, yes, we're going to do it.
• 38:21
  Oh my God.
• 38:22
  And then you made like seven other plans.
• 38:24
  If it makes you funny, better two of those trips with my in laws.
• 38:28
  It doesn't.
• 38:29
  And I love them.
• 38:30
  But I can't like saying no to that.
• 38:33
  I mean, you could.
• 38:34
  That's true.
• 38:36
  Yeah.
• 38:37
  Look, family.
• 38:37
  Olivia needs me for pride.
• 38:39
  I mean, I have my priority straight.
• 38:42
  That's true.
• 38:43
  That's true.
• 38:44
  Well, next summer, write it down in the meantime.
• 38:48
  We are going to be watching all of these amazing summer movies, but I think it is about time or us to wrap this up.
