WEBVTT

1
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.759
Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. If
by Hollywood you mean burd Bank, we

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.239
are preempted today. So this is
a podcast version. Sam is here and

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.120
we're gonna run through the usual stuff
without commercials. But sometimes they just pop

4
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.160
in, huh, don't they?
Sam? Yeah? I think the system

5
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.760
naturally pops them in there just because
the populate them. All Right, that's

6
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.119
cool. You might have already listened
to one to get to this part.

7
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.439
Okay, what are we gonna do? I don't have to describe the show

8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.600
because if you listen to the podcast, you already know it. When we're

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.159
on AIM Radio, we have to
gotta sell it. A lot of competition

10
00:00:50.159 --> 00:01:02.119
out there, like vitamin infomercials and
some buy gold and on the other stations.

11
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.879
Sam, let's start with them with
a lawsuit for the ages. I

12
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:15.680
got to hear this. Two disgruntled
Madonna concertgoers are suing her for being two

13
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.799
hours late to her performance. Evidently
she didn't go on until two thirty.

14
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.879
I mean, I'm sorry ten thirty, but so they the concert said it

15
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.280
would start at eight thirty. She
didn't go on stage till ten thirty.

16
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.879
And they have been harmed in a
way where they were confronted with afterwards,

17
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:46.640
confronted with limited public transportation, limited
ride sharing, and and or increased public

18
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.239
and private transportation costs with the show
ending after midnight. Now, I don't

19
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.799
think that was late for Madawn.
I think that was just early. That's

20
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.319
probably when she wakes up to because
she's seventy years old or something like right

21
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:06.760
now, and she probably got a
different time zone. So you got to

22
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:13.639
allow for the elderly when they're you
know, dealing with with I mean the

23
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.039
ladies. How old is she,
Sam, I don't know, but she

24
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.800
what's wrong with people? I think
that's what this show, this lawsuit goes

25
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.360
in the category of what's wrong with
you people? You people should be shamed,

26
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:32.199
and I'm here to shame you.
They are. I got to get

27
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:38.000
their names so I can fully shame
them. I'm checking Madonna's age right now.

28
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.240
She's sixty five years old. It's
only five years older than me,

29
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.319
so and maybe she could get the
run time, but everybody knows. And

30
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.919
part of their lawsuit was she it
has been known to be late for other

31
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.319
tours, and so if that's the
case, if I'm the judge, I

32
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.479
go, wait a second. You
know she's going to be late. Everyone's

33
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.759
talking about it. It's just like
going to see Morrissey, like, oh

34
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.319
will you show up and all that
kind of stuff. It's part of the

35
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.080
thrill. What time will she show
up? You want to come into my

36
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.879
courtroom and you want to sue her
and then trying to make it a class

37
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.639
action suit because other people have had
the same harm. Get out of my

38
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:28.479
courtroom, that's what I say.
Fortunately, this BS article didn't list the

39
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.240
names. Oh wait here they are
sorry. Oh my problem is they listed

40
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:39.080
it in the first sentence. Michael
Fellows Jonathan hadn't Shame on you, Shame

41
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.879
on you never win for going shame
on YouTube for not for suing people.

42
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:50.840
I mean, since when has have
artists been responsible for transportation costs? Well?

43
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:57.000
I mean did The legal question is
did they have a reasonable right to

44
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.560
rely on the schedule and plan their
day accordingly? And if they did,

45
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:10.680
and she's responsible for these increased costs
in transportation, then she could be liable

46
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.800
for these damages. But since they
are deminimous, as they would say in

47
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.639
the courtroom, get out of my
courtroom. That's what I say. Get

48
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:25.319
out. They call this a wanton
exercise of false advertising, negligent misrepresentation,

49
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.560
and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
And they're also naming the Barkley Center and

50
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:36.560
Live Nation for this unconscionable, unfair
and deceptive trade practice. It is egregious,

51
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:46.319
outrageous, and preposterous. I had
that, but Michael Fellows Jonathan hadden't

52
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:55.879
two losers that just entered the a
litigation Hall of shame. So I mean

53
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.480
that's like me going and ensuing Dodgers
and Dodgers Stadium for a game going eighteen

54
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:09.480
innings right due to a lackluster offense. Yeah, is it reasonable to expect

55
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:15.079
that that that they could get one
run in the extra nine innings? That

56
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.600
would be a court that would be
an issue for the trier of fact,

57
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.560
as they also say, so if
this is a this is going to get

58
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.839
somewhere in the court and and somebody's
I mean, there are legitimate, not

59
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:39.879
legitimate, but cases of of you
know, consumer trade consumer fraud cases that

60
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.639
are similar to this. So it
kind of apes a consumer fraud case,

61
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.920
which would be like you said,
this Jack in the box burger was made

62
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.680
out of one hundred percent angus beef, when in fact, it is made

63
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:01.120
out of one kangaroo byproducts. That
would be a legitimate consumer fraud case.

64
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.360
And they're trying to say, well, you promised that this show would be

65
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.920
at eight thirty and it didn't go
on until ten thirty. Okay, Well,

66
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.000
if a concert ticket says eight thirty
the band, we know the band's

67
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.519
not going on in eight thirty.
They want you to get in the seat.

68
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:16.839
They want you to hang around,
buy a couple of foam fingers,

69
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:26.160
some nachos, funnel cake t shirts, maybe a couple one hundred and fifty

70
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:34.000
dollars t shirts, maybe a twelve
hundred dollars satin tour jacket, glow sticks,

71
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.920
gotten candy. How about a program? But you're not so, this

72
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.839
is not good. This is not
going anywhere. Let's move on then,

73
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.000
Joe, since that's not going anywhere, But what if it does, then

74
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:56.519
I'll eat my hat. Here's something
I don't I talk about a lot,

75
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.800
but there's some projects in development that
have got caught my eye. He's not

76
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.040
really because there's not a lot OF's
a few legal issues going on with these.

77
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:09.360
There's a lot of movies and TV
shows based on you know, just

78
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:20.920
either torn from the headlines or a
cultural phenomenon that's a movie about or you

79
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:30.319
know, some trend or maybe a
biopics like hey, Queen did really well

80
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:38.279
and nw a movie. And now
we've got so in development. We have

81
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.920
a Richard Simmons biopic with Polly Shore
as Richard Simmons. Oh my god,

82
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.240
that sounds amazing. It does until
you see the short film that they I

83
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:55.920
haven't seen at all. I just
watched his initial performance and it looks so

84
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.600
you can see this now. There's
a short film that is that Sundance right

85
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.000
now. Sundance is going on,
and that's a film festival where people,

86
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.279
you know come and buy all the
cool indie markets like Netflix will go there

87
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.319
and buy, you know, whatever
the hottest indie movie is and throw it

88
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.199
on their channel Manchester by the Sea, that kind of stuff. Oh Amazon,

89
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.920
I'm going to give you eight million
dollars or whatever. That's going on

90
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.959
right now. And then they also
have a lot of screens of movies that

91
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.159
are just about to come out.
So they're pig poly Shores there or this

92
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.600
company that that's trying to make this
biopick, and they have a ten minute

93
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.600
short film that showcases Polyshore as Richard
Simmons, so you can see it right

94
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:50.960
now. It's called the Court Jester. I'm not sure what if that's a

95
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.240
good name or not. Yeah,
Usually you want a title that can make

96
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.799
it so that you can immediately identify
it with whoever you're talking about. Yeah,

97
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:09.639
and maybe more uplifting or indicate drama. But the Court Jester, I

98
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.039
don't know what the court is like. If it was about a really funny

99
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.039
guy that played badminton or something,
or you know, or tennis, so

100
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.159
there was a court involved, I
don't know where the court is involved in

101
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.519
the Richard Simmons world. So let's
start there. Your title sucks, let's

102
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.799
go. And I'm a poly Shore
fan. Don't get me wrong. This

103
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:39.879
guy is. I think he's an
American treasure. But watch the watch the

104
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:46.799
go look up bio, look up
poly Shore or Richard Simmons Court Jester.

105
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.600
You'll see it on YouTube. It's
ten minutes. And I saw his performance,

106
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.879
just the first couple of minutes of
it. And and here's another thing.

107
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:00.200
We're now our eyes and our senses
are conditioned to watch biopics where the

108
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:05.480
people look like the character because of
prosthetic makeup. Right, yeah, this

109
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.159
guy's got no makeup. He's just
got a wig and he's dancing around and

110
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.919
being somewhat effeminate. I think he
seems more like poly Shore, I mean

111
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.639
like Richard Simmons when he's actually doing
his polyshoract, then when he's making when

112
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.320
he's impersonating Richard Simmons. So I
think there's some work to be done here.

113
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.559
I don't know if this was a
wise move. And then there's a

114
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.559
lead good idea on paper, it
sounds like it needs better makeup and good

115
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.440
directing. Yeah, I think you
and I haven't seen the whole short,

116
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.440
but I just I just I just
want to see how he's you know,

117
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.440
pulling this off. And I was
a little bit underwhelmed. But we're early.

118
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.000
But I just don't think he should
have released this. So but maybe

119
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.639
they've tried everything else and they said
we just got to do it. But

120
00:10:52.639 --> 00:11:01.279
I would have spent another fifty grand
on prosthetic makeup and then and really lived

121
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.639
in that character. Yes, that's
what I would do. Okay, So

122
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.440
there's Richard Simmons. Is he is
he? Is he on board? No?

123
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.240
Evidently there's he put out a message
said I don't support this movie,

124
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.200
don't believe the lies. I am
trying to just live a quiet life.

125
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.279
I don't have a manager, I
don't have a publicist anymore. I'm just

126
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.840
trying to quit live a quiet life. You know. Good for him,

127
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.080
that's a very refreshing statement about a
celebrity. He's not trying to milk it

128
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:37.360
till the end, waiting for his
comeback. He just trying to just live.

129
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.360
So I picture him in Palm Springs. I don't know where he really

130
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.120
lives. I know that he was
on a He had a house where Beverly

131
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.000
Hills tour buses went by, and
he would come out and wave to everybody.

132
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.399
What a guy. But I don't
know where he's at now now then

133
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.080
he was missing for a while and
everyone's worried about Now he says, I'm

134
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.559
not backing this. But now Polly
Shore has come back and said whoa,

135
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:07.200
whoa, whoa. Richard Simmons has
reversed coals course, and he has said

136
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.840
good luck with this. So I
think that the one good luck. Maybe

137
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.279
it was a good luck or was
it, oh good luck? Poly Shore?

138
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.080
I love you. I don't know, but we'll find out. So

139
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.720
is it going to be an unauthorized
biopic or not at this point. It's

140
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.440
unauthorized, and what is the law
on that. The law is you can

141
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:35.200
do a story about anything you want
a movie as long as you're using things

142
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.240
that are in the public record.
They're just facts. So there is a

143
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.960
fact that Richard Simmons had a show, and there is a fact that he

144
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.879
was a flamboyant character. You go
ahead and imitate him and make a movie.

145
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.919
What can you not do? You
can't take his private writings or stuff

146
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.480
that's not public and make scenes out
of that that no one else was around,

147
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.960
or you're not getting it from someone
else. Let's say he has an

148
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.360
interaction with a security guard somewhere at
a store and he's accused of shoplifting.

149
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.559
Let's say I'm making all this up, This didn't happen, and no one

150
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.120
else saw this but him, and
they go in a room and he's interrogated.

151
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.399
No one's there but Richard Simmons in
the security guard. And in a

152
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.679
case like that, you would need
the rights from Richard Simmons or the security

153
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.600
guard. But you can't just like
rumor had it, or steal them,

154
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.799
basically saying you couldn't steal the private
diaries of Richard Simmons or the security guard

155
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:46.120
and publish that, because that would
be private and that's not in the public

156
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:52.440
record. But if there was a
newspaper article about a interrogation that happened,

157
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.120
and you could put that in your
movie, and you could simulate what you

158
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:05.120
think happened in interrogation, and you
you know, that's why you see these

159
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.080
disclaimers that say some of these things
are inspired by real events, blah blah

160
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.000
blah. So we want to live
in a world where people can tell stories

161
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.639
about other people, but you also
want to live in a world where people

162
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.639
can have a certain amount of privacy
or have the right to sell their own

163
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.039
story. So Richard Simmons can be
going like, I'm going to sell my

164
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.080
own story, so I don't want
you to make that movie. Okay,

165
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.200
Well, then your movie's gonna be
better because it's authorized and you have more

166
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.080
details about your life. But you
might be whitewashing it and not want to

167
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.639
tell the dirty stuff, so the
other one might be better. So there's

168
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.200
a balance. Honestly, I think
the way to go would be like how

169
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.159
the Elvis movie kind of just took
random public and publicly known stuff and just

170
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.799
made stuff up around it, and
they can. I think they should go

171
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.240
and like make it clear that this
is inspired by his life, but it

172
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.759
is not one to one remake.
It's definitely like you can say he was

173
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.399
an international man of mystery, a
spy. You can go in any direction

174
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.360
with it. Well, it can't
defame him, you know, you can't

175
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.639
say, well, he nothing defamatory, make him a superhero, right,

176
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.200
yeah, you can do that as
long as he doesn't suffer any damages.

177
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.559
But that's not the there's I don't
think there's any legal, real legal problems

178
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.960
in this biopic. But there was
another one that Sophia and Virgara is is

179
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:33.200
about to debut on Netflix. So
Sophia Vergara is gonna play Griselda forgot her

180
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.720
last name, the you know,
black widow Cocaine Queen of Colombia. Also

181
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.960
Carol g the singer, is making
her acting debut in this. So it's

182
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.679
set in the nineteen seventies and eighties
in Miami, and there's probably some Colombian

183
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.440
stuff in there. And she was
like ruthless, like you know, like

184
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.720
just an awful person, like you
know, cut your face off, kind

185
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.840
of a cartel boss. And so
there may I think This has already been

186
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.360
done in the Spanish language, but
this one is an English language one.

187
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:15.399
And the son of the cocaine Queen, Michael Sepovida Blanco, he is suing

188
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.360
Netflix and Sophia and everyone else in
sight saying that wait a second, I've

189
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.840
been working on this thing for a
long time, my own movie and book

190
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.240
and etc. I met with these
two guys, and these two guys met

191
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.679
with you guys, and then you
stole the whole thing. So now they've

192
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:44.320
got a problem because and this,
if you look at this article, I

193
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.679
think it's a variety or something I
forgot, so I apologize for having you're

194
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.159
not gonna look look at it anyway. But let me tell you something.

195
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.519
I read a lot of these lawsuits
and complaints and they're they're poorly written,

196
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.720
or they're just pie in the sky, like, hey, you you have

197
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:02.799
no right to make a movie about
my life or my mother's life. This

198
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:11.880
one was written by a level lawyers
who are concentrating on some private information that

199
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.599
was not known to the public,
that that the son of the cocaine queen

200
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:23.079
told some TV developers and they told
that to the people at Netflix. And

201
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.079
it's so there's some there are there
are some private things that are not public

202
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.519
that are in this movie or TV
series. That's what they're alleging. And

203
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.759
if that's true, then you have
a case because you could anybody can make

204
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.799
a movie about this cocaine queen,
but you But if there's some private stuff

205
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:48.119
that's not public that that he could
make an argument say that's mine and I

206
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.559
and now you've ruined my ability to
make I was going to disclose that in

207
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.759
my book or my movie. Now
I've been harmed and nobody. But it's

208
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.920
a kind of a case where people
are meeting with this guy, but know

209
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.319
wanted to be in business with the
guy. Oh, I wonder why,

210
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:10.559
And so they're making their own thing
and without him. Now, when you're

211
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:22.880
dealing in the world of Colombian neckties
and Cicaro's kidnappings, seems a little dangerous

212
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.519
to me. I don't know why
Sophia Vergara would want to play this role

213
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:34.839
in a contentious family rights atmosphere because
things happen in Colombia. I don't know

214
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.240
if you remember this being a sports
fan, you probably do. When the

215
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.400
Colombian and they're in the World Cup, the Colombian goalie accidentally scored a goal

216
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.160
in his own net Oh yeah,
no, that was Andre's Oh jeez,

217
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:55.119
Escobar andres Escobar. What happened to
him? He ended up getting killed once

218
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.480
he went back to the country like
two weeks later. Yeah, virtually dead

219
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.079
on arrival when he went. Yeah, great documentary in the thirty for thirty

220
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.720
series about that called Oh my God, I highly recommend it. Okay?

221
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.519
Is that the way those are all
on ESPN Plus? Now I heard,

222
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.640
Yeah, the entire series, All
of those are great, but that one

223
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:22.039
in particular is my favorite. That
is a reason to get ESPN Plus those

224
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.920
thirty for thirty Catalog and Plus is
bundled with Hulu and Disney Channel. So

225
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.559
I'm trying to talk myself into it. So that's why I'm telling you.

226
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.559
Okay. So I don't know why
she's doing that, but they filed an

227
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.359
injunction. They would like to get
an injunction to stop it from airing.

228
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.240
It airs on January twenty fifth on
Netflix. We'll see if it happens or

229
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.599
And it seems like the guy just
kind of wants credit. Hey, let

230
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.799
me in on it. The Hollywood
action. Then he can get a producer

231
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.079
credit, and then he can run
around saying I'm actually a TV producer,

232
00:19:53.279 --> 00:20:00.640
not just the son of a murderer. It's pretty legitimacy. All right,

233
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.640
I'm gonna zip through these other stories. So far, I'm having fun.

234
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.799
How about you, Sam, I'm
always having fun when I'm here with you.

235
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.519
There's a there's a very, there's
a dearth. I think that's the

236
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.839
word of celebrities behaving badly this week. Everybody they're on their best behavior.

237
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.559
So the only thing I got is
Samantha Fox getting kicked off a plane and

238
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:26.400
arrested for drunken behavior and delaying a
flight from Munich to London. You mean

239
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.640
the former porn star and music star. She had to have one hit,

240
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.960
wonder, yes, the very one. And I don't know how she could

241
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.960
be the most obnoxious German on that
plane, or you know, more obnoxious

242
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.920
than all the Germans on this plane
from Munich to London. But somehow she

243
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.480
did it, and they threw her
in jail. By the way, I

244
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.240
like your segue because that was the
name of her song, I want to

245
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:55.000
have some fun. Oh, yeah, of course I knew that. Let's

246
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.240
see what else I got. I've
got? Oh, the movie is the

247
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.799
box Office you may have noticed,
if you're a listener to the show.

248
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.319
I kind of put the box Office
in the middle of the show instead of

249
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.079
at the beginning, because I think
when people are listening to AIM radio they

250
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.240
could care less about the box office. But I like to. I like

251
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:14.000
to touch on it, of no
doubt. But this is this week.

252
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.279
There's nothing going on. This is
the dead month for movies because all the

253
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.240
good movies theoretically were released in December
so they could have Academy consideration. You

254
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:27.680
dump your terrible movies in January,
unless it's everywhere, Everything all at once,

255
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.400
which was released in like February or
something. January of February something like

256
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.240
that was a weird one best picture. So that's the exception that proves the

257
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.839
rule. I guess the number one
movies right now are Mean Girls. Number

258
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.720
two is Wonka. How many ways
saw it? Wonka? Still, Hey,

259
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.440
I went and saw it. It
was a great movie. Right,

260
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.200
So, after a certain amount of
word of mouth and nothing else to see,

261
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.359
you went and saw it, right, Yeah. I took your recommendation

262
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.559
specifically. I was like I got
to see this. Yeah, okay,

263
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.240
good. So maybe I'm driving the
box office on this. I think that's

264
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.599
what you're saying. Yes, it's
absolutely you. I'm giving you one hundred

265
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.200
percent credit for making Wonka number two
in the nation. Thank you, thank

266
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.079
you. I got to tell their
publicists that they got to put me on

267
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:18.160
their list. No one invites me
to anything, no screenings, no junkets,

268
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.279
no nothing. And here I am
driving the I'm making like his history

269
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.759
with this Wonka movie. So if
you haven't seen, it's a really good

270
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.039
movie, right, good songs,
Oh yeah, and it's a what do

271
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160
you think it's a beautiful prequel to
the original with Gene Wilder. Yeah.

272
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.640
Like they pay so many great homages
and tributes to that original. It's beautiful.

273
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.599
Yes. What did you think of
Hugh Grant? I didn't even know

274
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.960
he was in it. I saw
his name and the credits at the beginning.

275
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.039
I'm like, oh, wow,
you Grant, and then I just

276
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.920
didn't notice him. He was the
Wonka. He was the oppa. Oh

277
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.599
that's right, he was the Oupa
lumpa. Yeah, he was outstanding,

278
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.279
outstanding, so much standing, you
didn't even know it was him exactly.

279
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.640
He really like he that's some good
method acting. He lived and breathed the

280
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:10.039
oopa loompa experience. It was outstanding. It was actually what I would consider

281
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:15.920
him for Oscar consideration. That would
be the ultimate burn on him because he

282
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.279
complained about his experience in the movie
and he trashed the movie. Oh jeez.

283
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.440
I would love to see him get
like best Supporting Actor for the imp.

284
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.799
In fact, we should get a
campaign going for him, like a

285
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:36.880
William hung style grassroots campaign for Hugh
Grant. For your consideration, I'll work.

286
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.480
I'll work on the ad mats right
away. So okay, yeah,

287
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.480
So the no good movies, I
mean no real big movies that are getting

288
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.079
released, but there are a couple
cool movies, like there's this Iss movie

289
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:56.880
about the I haven't seen yet.
The world is the Russians in the United

290
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.960
States are fighting. The war breaks
out, the war that you know everyone

291
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.119
things, Yes, yeah, I
saw the trailer for this one. Yeah.

292
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.759
And then the space station is up
there with the with Americans and Russians,

293
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.400
and I think they both get a
messages like go and kill the other

294
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.079
astronauts. So there's a big space
fight. So I'm definitely going to see

295
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:21.880
that. I didn't go to the
movies this week. Things are crazy in

296
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:26.640
my life, and in a good
way. The money's pouring in. Don't

297
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.720
work. No, it is,
really, it's it's incredible. I don't

298
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.079
know if you noticed that Coachella was
announced this week. Yes I did.

299
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:38.960
I saw the lineup, and I
am the manager of the main stage Coachella

300
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.960
band called Sublime with featuring the son
of the original singer, Jacob Bradley no

301
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:52.079
Jacob Nole, and then the original
bass player and drummer, Eric Wilson and

302
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.680
Bud gaw And it's caught fire.
So it's one of the big stories coming

303
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.240
out of Coachella, other than No
Doubt getting back together. And these are

304
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.559
two bands that played together and part
of the same scene. And they will

305
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:10.519
be in the Saturday night at Coachella. That's awesome. So yeah, that's

306
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.319
this is like a full time job
dealing with this now. And it kind

307
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.279
of just I don't know if I
talked about it that much on the show,

308
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.160
but it kind of fell on my
lap. I was doing some legal

309
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:23.920
work for the bass player and just
as a favor, because I don't do

310
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.680
legal work for hardly anyone. But
and then one thing led to another on

311
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.920
you know, I got a partner
or managing this band and on Coachella and

312
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.079
we got a movie coming out or
not. The movie Shooting in the Summer,

313
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:44.799
directed by Francis Lewis, The That's
Awesome, The Hunger Games written by

314
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:51.039
Chris Monday of Ozark, so on
Sony three thousand Pictures. So it's crazy,

315
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.880
and so I guess I could say, well, I was busy making

316
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.000
movies. I couldn't release see one, but I did watch. I'm in

317
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:57.440
the middle of it, so I'm
not done with it. I'm not going

318
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.839
to talk about too much, but
I do recommend it. It's the Snow

319
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:07.880
Society of the Snow Netflix movie about
the Uruguayan rugby team that crashed in the

320
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.119
Andes. I don't know if you
got at what they meant the live or

321
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:18.119
the real life story of the people
from the movie Alive. Yes, which,

322
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.599
after you watch this movie you will
be embarrassed that you sat through that.

323
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.640
That a live movie. This movie
is so good and such a deeper

324
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:30.200
level. It's all in Spanish.
Uh, it's it's It's a wonderful film.

325
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.279
I'm not done with the yet though, so we'll talk about it later.

326
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:40.839
And then another development coming up,
a movie called not as a movie.

327
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:45.559
It's a TV show. It's a
it's a squid game type TV show

328
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:55.519
based on the popular dining establishment Chuck
E Cheese. Oh go On, It's

329
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.640
the Pizza Time Theater, and it's
surreally dystopic kid's birthday party destination, and

330
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.680
it's uh, you know, it's
adults are going to compete, you know,

331
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.039
with a giant arcade games and they
get you know, winning tickets and

332
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.039
they can exchange them for prizes on
the iconic Chuck E Cheese prize wall.

333
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.200
That sounds awesome. Yeah, I
don't know. I mean, it sounds

334
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.240
awesome, but you know, there's
a million ways that can go wrong.

335
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.359
So let's they could also try to
kind of capitalize on that five Nights at

336
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.799
Freddy's vibe and turn it into kind
of a horror survival game. I think

337
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.359
that's what it is, and I
think that's what they did. Freddy is

338
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:44.799
definitely the inspiration for this cool So
I think we're we're I think we're ready

339
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.599
to move on and wrap up the
show. I just want to let everybody

340
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.880
know that Monday, January twenty second, there will be a solidarity bargaining kickoff

341
00:27:52.000 --> 00:28:00.599
rally for the American Federation of Musicians. Now we had your SAG strike,

342
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:07.599
your a w G A strike And
now the af of them are having a

343
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.200
rally over at the Galleria where the
where the Producers Society has the headquarters,

344
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:22.119
and they're gonna have a big rally
and probably some drums to uh fight for

345
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.400
a better contract. I get,
you know, it's streaming royalties. I

346
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.160
think that's what they're looking for.
And I got to say, I am

347
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.559
the showrunner on a streaming show a
couple of them, and I found out

348
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:41.240
that they're not paying any uh performance
royalties, and so yeah, there's some

349
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.799
movement there, but it's such a
weak union. I don't know what they'll

350
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:49.000
get. I think they'll got nothing, but we'll kind of follow that.

351
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.200
It's kind of cute. Cute guys. All right, let's leave it there.

352
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:56.640
I got a couple of shows still
coming up with the Sweet and Tender

353
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:04.400
Hooligans Morrissey tribute band that I plan
Casbo show sold out, but the Tearground

354
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:10.319
Ballroom on February tenth, I think
it is tickets still available for that one.

355
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.480
If you like the Mexican Morrissey I
do. And I will now leave

356
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.640
you with just a taste of the
greatest song ever written. See you next Sunday
