WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.399 Right, prosecutors painting the picture of a chaotic movie set in a criminal trial 2 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:24.519 against rust armor Hannah Gutierans jurors getting a look at outtakes from the Troubled Western, 3 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.440 some of which seem publicly for the first time, showing star and co 4 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.920 producer Alec Baldwin emerging from a wooden shed firing shots from a pistol. One 5 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.079 more, one more, one more? Have I got the Reclright? There 6 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.159 we go, Baldwin appearing to rush the crew to reload for another take. 7 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:47.799 Gutierra is seen quickly approaching grabbing blanks out of our fanny pack. The prosecution's 8 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.320 expert witness, a veteran armorer, reacting to the footage. That conduct that 9 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.520 we're seeing on the part of mister Baldwin, is that typical conduct from an 10 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:03.560 actor on a movie set. No Joe Scalante live from Hollywood. If by 11 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.640 Hollywood you mean Burbank. This is two hours of the business end of show 12 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.439 business to do this every Sunday on k e IB eleven fifty on your AM 13 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:18.519 dial. That is some audio from the ongoing trial right now of Hannah gutierras 14 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.760 Reed, who is the armorer on the movie Rust that was produced by and 15 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.599 starred Alec Baldwin. As you know, he's been indicted and he's going on 16 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:36.719 trial for the death of the director of photography, Helena Hutchins, and that 17 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.879 happens in July, but right now, the armorers on trial. So she 18 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:45.400 is the person that is in charge of all the guns on the set and 19 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.920 she is, you know, obviously something went wrong and she's you know, 20 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:57.239 gonna she's gonna go to jail. So some of the stuff that's coming out 21 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:05.120 is going to affect Alec Baldwin's trial in July. And I don't know, 22 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.560 it just gets pretty bad. You know when you listen, when you on 23 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:15.400 paper, you're like, hey, the guy suffered enough. He didn't do 24 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.840 it on purpose. Somebody gave him a gun with a live round in it. 25 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.639 He's made up with the husband. They're actually working on the completing the 26 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.960 film together, so why not let him go? And then when you look 27 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.639 at this, you know, you could just see how a jury might look 28 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:37.960 at this and go, wait a second. This guy is kind of a 29 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.439 maniac. And if you see him on TV, you know when he gets 30 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.879 in fights with reporters and stuff like that. Yeah, he's got a temper. 31 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.800 He doesn't give other people a break, you know, that's for sure. 32 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:58.280 So I think it's going to be problematic for him in this trial. 33 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.360 You can see him rushing everybody with guns. Okay, everybody, hurry, 34 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.520 hurry, hurry. I think they're going to make a lot out of that. 35 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.400 And if you're a juror and you're saying, okay, well someone's responsible 36 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.680 for this, and there's a few people, it can't it doesn't have to 37 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.599 be just one. It's not one person. It's the person the armorer who 38 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.000 allowed live rounds on this set. I guess we're practicing with live rounds. 39 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.960 You never should have done that. A couple of violations that this expert that 40 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:35.080 the state has called an armorer expert. This was only her Gutierras reads for 41 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.280 a second movie, so she's new. They get an experienced guy to come 42 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.479 in and look at all this footage and this trial and they're going, yeah, 43 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.719 there's a violation. There's a violation, And those are the same things 44 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:51.319 they're going to show at the Alec Baldwin trial. And they show Alec Baldwin 45 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.400 like waving the gun around, using it as a pointer, just like, 46 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.240 okay, we're gonna do this, We're gonna do that, We're gonna do 47 00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:02.000 that. But it's clear that Gutierras read couldn't control Baldwin, and who could 48 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:09.400 like she was her instructions. After the pointing of the gun around recklessly, 49 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.719 she says, everybody, get out of the way of that gun. Everybody 50 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.160 get out of the way of that gun, instead of saying, hey, 51 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.120 Alec Baldwin, don't point the gun like that, because I imagine if she 52 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.439 said that he would fire her. He would just say, who's this, 53 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.600 you know, bitch, That's what I would imagine he would say. And 54 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.680 so she wants to keep her job, so diplomatically she says, hey, 55 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.720 everybody get out of the way of that guy, because he's going to point 56 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.399 it anyway. And you know, so the only thing you can do in 57 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:41.839 a case like that is just say, hey, Alec Baldwin, I'm not 58 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.360 gonna rush, I'm not gonna hurry, I'm not going to reload fast. 59 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.360 I'm gonna actually slow down. And this is what their expert says, I'm 60 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.399 gonna slow down because this is dangerous and you have to slow down, not 61 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.199 speed up when you're doing gun stuff. And then she would be fired and 62 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:02.720 then she's, you know, really can't win in that situation, but she 63 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.240 should, that's obviously. I'm sure she would agree that she should have just 64 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:14.759 said what was right and then left after getting fired and then let someone else 65 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:21.240 deal with it so she can't win. What was pretty powerful in the testimony 66 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.199 was the director or the first assistant director. Now that's the person that really 67 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.480 is running the set. The first d D. They're saying, you be 68 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:30.480 here, you be there, I need everybody over here. We're going to 69 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.399 start now. The clock is ticking, we got daylight, we're losing daylight, 70 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:42.800 all that kind of stuff. That person is it's a little it's unclear 71 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.680 to me from the testimony is what that person may have handed Alec Baldwin the 72 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.839 gun, but the armorer should have checked it. And if he's going to 73 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.560 hand the gun, he should have checked it. So he already pled to 74 00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:00.519 a negligent operating handling with a firearm and he got six months probation. And 75 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.839 his name is Hall, and he testified because he said, I just want 76 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:13.240 everybody to know what happened. His testimony was pretty powerful and emotional because that 77 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:18.000 was the last words spoken by Helena Hutchins were to him when he tried. 78 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.040 He was trying to sort out what happened. Let's take let's take a listener. 79 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.639 Did you speak to Mss Hutchins when you approached her? I did, 80 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:33.319 What did you say? Are you all right? Did she respond? Yes? 81 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:45.079 She said I can't feel my legs. Powerful stuff from David Hall's the 82 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:51.240 first assistant director of the movie Rust, now that he'll probably come back for 83 00:06:51.279 --> 00:07:00.439 the Alec Baldwin trial and all that video video. There's some video of a 84 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.160 like a guy handing a shotgun to a kid, a child actor. There's 85 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:12.879 a lot of shotguns that being mishandled, and I'm sure it's common, but 86 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.399 you know, it's things like this that they may be very common, but 87 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.639 you have to think about what happens when something goes wrong in a trial. 88 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.279 You're gonna only see the bad. The lawyer are gonna find this video, 89 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.720 They're gonna see the bad and they're gonna hammer away at it and hammer away 90 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.959 at it and try to get a conviction. Same way in these punk shows 91 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.279 that I've been a part of for so many years, when there's so much 92 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.480 weird stuff that goes on at punk shows, like the slam pit the stage 93 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:46.959 diving. It all makes sense. It's kind of a controlled chaos until something 94 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.560 goes wrong and there's a lawsuit and the insurance companies are getting involved in the 95 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:58.759 lawyers and the plaintiff attorneys. They'll get in a trial and go, okay, 96 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.959 what's going on in the dance floor. It looks crazy to people in 97 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.600 a jury. People are running around hitting each other. It looks it just 98 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.439 looks like absolutely like you should just stop playing. Say hey, everybody, 99 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.199 you got to stop that. It's like a fight. If you saw a 100 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.800 fight, you would stop playing. But it looks like a fight. It's 101 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.639 just chaos. And then people are jumping off the stage and they're and they're 102 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.160 landing on people, innocent people. If a jury sees that video, they 103 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.000 go okay, irresponsible. Now what I've always told guys in bands, don't 104 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.800 say on the microphone, all right, great stage dive, or I want 105 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.399 to see a big circle pit like Fletcher doesn't pennyways no, no, no, 106 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.679 no no. You have to say things like, whatever you do, 107 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.159 don't do a stage dive. And the crowd knows you're kidding, but I 108 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.200 just say it. Put it on the record, so your lawyer has a 109 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.639 chance and say, hey, look, my client said, whatever you do, 110 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.399 don't stage dive. So this case is over because they're gonna find the 111 00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.759 worst stuff and everybody's going to be shocked by it, and juries aren't people 112 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:05.080 who know what's normal at a concert or know what's normal on a set. 113 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.720 They're just gonna look at it and go, this is chaos. A lot 114 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.919 of guns. Someone died. Who's in charge? Oh, Alec Baldwin. 115 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.879 He's a blowhard guilty, so I think he's got a problem here. Let's 116 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:24.960 take a break and check out more celebrities behaving badly on Joe Scolante Live from 117 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.720 Hollywood.

No, P Didty is just another 121 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:52.440 defendant in the never ending lawsuits for sexual harassment, et cetera. But first, 122 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.440 let's go to the movies.

Also the pretty much 126 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.519 the exact number that was predicted. People are saying it it's going to do 127 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.240 eighty million. It does eighty one million. Five. It's interesting how these 128 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:28.559 people can predict these things. Bob Marley number two seven million. It's drop 129 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.120 off there, but still successful film eighty two million gross are totally a total 130 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.879 at the box office.

The Wonka experience in Scotland is getting a lot of attention. 135 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.720 We'll talk about that later. Our guy all number nine. The Beekeepers still 136 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.000 hanging around in number ten. It's incredible, you know it's not in the 137 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.240 number ten. A bunch of Oscar nominees. See any Oscar nominees in there? 138 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:24.240 I didn't Poor Things is number fourteen could win Best Picture? What else 139 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:30.840 were the Oscar nominees. They're just holdovers way down there pulling in a big 140 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.440 eighty five thousand. This weekend, Oppenheimer pulled in one hundred thousand. But 141 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:41.159 I mean, what theater is showing Oppenheimer? So what did I see? 142 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.360 I saw the number one movie, you know me. I'm in nothing but 143 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:56.279 hits number one, Dune Part two, starring Timothy Shallowy and the uh Florence 144 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.600 Pew. Yeah, Florence Pew is in it. So I was there, 145 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.840 and I would say is as far as as far as long boring space movies 146 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.240 go, it is probably the best one I've ever seen. So I recommend 147 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.039 it's gotta be gotta follow along, gotta pay attentions, all kinds of stuff 148 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.559 going on. Then you're gonna want to go back to see Dune one because 149 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.919 you didn't understand that and you fell asleep three times in Dune Part two. 150 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000 I got my sleep out of the way, Like after about the first ten 151 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.799 minutes, I fell asleep, and then I woke up, and I was 152 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.840 up for the rest of the of the movie, except for when I went 153 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.360 to get my pizza. I missed a little bit there, not much, 154 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:46.080 but what an epic Every second of It is just a production miracle. How 155 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.039 this stuff is made and how it's done what a hassle. I look at 156 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.919 it and go like, oh, I don't have the energy to do any 157 00:12:52.919 --> 00:13:01.000 of that. So that's why it's number one. And but a little bit 158 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.600 too much. Timothy Challame, He's everywhere. Turn on the TV. You 159 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.440 know. I think Timothy Shalomy might be my wife's Florence Pugh because every time 160 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.399 I turn, every time I watch her TV, I see her watching TV. 161 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:20.440 So Timothy schallomey there he is. Okay, what's the most anticipating movies 162 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.200 coming up? Godzilla X Kong. How do you say that one? Do 163 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:30.039 you have any idea? My wife says, it's Godzilla times cong Okay, 164 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.320 the New Empire we just saw. I just had a Godzilla movie and I 165 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.720 thought it was good. I don't really need another one so soon. I'd 166 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.279 rather watch that other one again. It was so good. Kung Fu Panda 167 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.039 four people are excited about Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire looks really good actually, and 168 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:54.039 Cabrini. This is a religious movie about a saint and a nun that did 169 00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:00.000 amazing things here in the United States, and she is coming to your town. 170 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.879 This week, and this movie is gonna make some money. I'll tell 171 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.440 you that. I already have my tickets to see it at the Bellata on 172 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.960 Thursday night. It's gonna make some money. Most of these movies are kind 173 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.679 of like Protestant movies that the religious movies that come out. But this one's 174 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.960 Catholic and through and through it's a Catholic story. And we'll see how the 175 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:28.240 Catholic's fare at the box office this week. And what else we got. 176 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:37.000 I saw I saw a trailer for the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare when I was 177 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:43.919 at the theater this weekend. It looked pretty good. You know, have 178 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.240 you seen it? Have you heard about it? Guy Ritchie movie and just 179 00:14:50.240 --> 00:15:01.399 looks good. Who's in it? Well, Henry cavill Elsa Gonzalez, Alan 180 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.720 Richson. What with these people? Anyway? It looks good. Let's go 181 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.039 to P Didty? What did he do? Oh my gosh, P Diddy 182 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.600 sexually harassing man? I mean, is that embarrassing? I guess I don't 183 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.279 know. I don't know what P Didty's sexuality is. But what if he's 184 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.600 like I mean a lot of people like him are very homophobic. So this 185 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:31.159 guy comes out and says P Diddy's sexually harassing me, grooming me for sexual 186 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:41.320 activity, forcing me to lie about violence and violent things that have happened. 187 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.279 He worked for him from September for about a year twenty twenty two to twenty 188 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.480 twenty three. Said he was what's the guy's name, Rodney lil Rod Jones 189 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.519 said he was drugged, exposed to illegal activities, coerced into lying to law 190 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.240 enforcement to cover up violent incidents and allegations involving other celebrities, and an account 191 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:11.360 of being groomed for sexual exploitation. Lil Rod alleges that P Diddy displayed a 192 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.320 pattern of reckless behavior, including flaunting firearms and admitting to pass that act of 193 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.080 violence a big deal. He's gangster. You can't handle that. I mean, 194 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:26.039 the other stuff sounds bad if it's true. He also names like other 195 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.000 people like big people. Lucian Grange, the head of Universal, the biggest 196 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:37.000 music company in the world. He names him in the suit, and P 197 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:48.399 Diddy's son Justin, and former Motile record Motown Records Ceo Ethiopia Habitimaria, Ethiopia. 198 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:55.960 That's a name you can use. P Diddy has a lot of cases 199 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.320 against him. Last year, he had to step down from a company called 200 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:10.599 Revolt TV amid ongoing sexual lawsuits. Sexual yeah, sexual assault lawsuits, accused 201 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:19.599 of savagely beating and raping his ex girlfriend. You know, anyways, it's 202 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:26.799 weird, and it's kind of weird, and it's not weird. But is 203 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:32.119 that guy toast Kanye? He doesn't get accused of stuff like that. He 204 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.160 just like gets accused of hating Jews. So I don't know, Kanye is 205 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:45.319 still around, He's still making records, He's still I mean, I haven't 206 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:51.279 seen him in my feed of live concerts coming near me, but I don't 207 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:56.000 think he's on my list. But very interesting, Russell Simmons, All these 208 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:06.559 guys, I don't know. It's gangsters, gangsters, thugs and smugglers are 209 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.599 thoroughly respected. Let's take a break and we come back. More people that 210 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.559 are really behaving very badly, including Oprah Winfree. That's American Royalty and including 211 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:26.960 actual royalty, Prince Harry and Megan Markle Joe Sclante, Live from Hollywood by 212 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.640 Hollywood, you mean Burbank.

Okay, 217 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:47.039 let's just get that straight. If you want to listen to the show on 218 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.319 a podcast format, you can't just look up Joe Ascolante on your podcast thing 219 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:59.960 and you can subscribe and you can listen all the time like three or four 220 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.160 where other people do? All right, who's being bad? Oprah Winfrey's being 221 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.200 bad? What did Oprah Winfrey do? I'll tell you what she did. 222 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:15.400 You know she works for weight Watchers, right, Well, then she's got 223 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:21.400 a contract with weight Watchers. The contract says you can only use weight Watchers. 224 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.359 You can't use you can't lose weight some other way because you'll be in 225 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.839 trouble and then you're in breach of your agreement and they pay them a bunch 226 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.799 of money. How much money do you think they pay Oprah Winfrey? Well, 227 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.119 I don't know. One hundred million dollars. I wouldn't be surprised. 228 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:49.319 So when it was discovered that she was using some weight loss drug, oh, 229 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:55.559 who hit the fan? Now she has to leave the Weight Watchers board 230 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.200 after disclosing the use of the weight loss medication. What is it? Ozempic? 231 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.799 What do people use? Go lo? Is that medicine? I just 232 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:10.279 see the commercials? What do I do to lose weight? I'll tell you 233 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:15.039 what I do. A couple of things. I do intermitted fasting. So 234 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:22.319 I'm only eating from like twelve to eight. It's easy. I do. 235 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.119 Don't eat any dangerous seed oils. According to my doctor. Now we're getting 236 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:32.039 into medical advice. Wow, okay, but you asked me, so I'm 237 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:40.519 gonna tell you. The dangerous seed oils are things like canola oil. Here's 238 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.240 the only oils you can have in your food if you're following my doctor's advice. 239 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:51.799 Can have olive oil, you can have coconut oil, and you can 240 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.559 have lard. And it's about it. Yeah, olive oil, coconut oil, 241 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.359 lard, avocado oil. You can have attle caught oil. You can't 242 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.440 have oils that are made out of seeds, can't have canola oil, you 243 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.720 can't have palm oil. So anyway, so I got rid of all that 244 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.400 and it definitely changed things for me. But I don't you know, Oprah's 245 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.880 always been giant. She's got all the money in the world. She's giant. 246 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.119 How does she have trouble? Why doesn't she just have like this, 247 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.559 you know, personal trainer, hypnosis and you know, hit the gym? 248 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.400 Does I mean, what does she have to do? She can hit the 249 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.160 gym. She's Oprah Winfrey. She do whatever she wants every day. So 250 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.079 I don't understand it. But obviously it's a disorder, and she's very dedicated 251 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:44.960 to the fighting of this disorder. So she says she will continue to to 252 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.559 help fight that's what she calls it, the weight loss disorder or weight gaining 253 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.160 disorder. Here's what a contracts said, because there's a legal show. I 254 00:21:55.160 --> 00:22:00.319 guess the contract says Winfrey will not grant anyone but the company the right use 255 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.160 her name, image, likeness, or endorsement for or in connection with any 256 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.119 other weight loss or weight management programs during the strategic term. Now, she 257 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.920 didn't do that. She didn't lend her name to this medicine that she took. 258 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.599 However, she violated the second part of that sentence, which is, 259 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.039 and she will not engage in any other weight loss or weight management business, 260 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.680 program, products, or services during the strategic term and for one year after 261 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:30.079 so she was using some bills. Why didn't she just use weight Watchers. 262 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.559 It's not a good look, right. If weight Watchers works, which it 263 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.319 does, then she should use it. Do you have to use something else? 264 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.720 Or so she's resigned for the board. Do you think she liked being 265 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:48.200 on that board anyway? Probably not. So this is gonna oh shed and 266 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.640 all the money she has made, or not the money she's made, but 267 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.519 the shares she owns. She's getting rid of her shares and she's donating to 268 00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.960 the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Sure I don't know where 269 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.960 that is. Oh wait, it's on the second floor of her house. 270 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:14.400 That's that Part's not true. Okay, of course it's being bad. I 271 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.440 told her. There's a lot of them. There's this Andy Cohen guy. 272 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.480 Do you even know this Andy Cohen guy? I would say a lot of 273 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.200 my listeners probably don't know who Andy Cohen is. He's the guy that's like 274 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.720 a it's like a radio TV host. He was a television executive. But 275 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.640 he was so flamboyant and gay that they thought, man, you are just 276 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.480 so gay, you should be on TV and you should be hosting the recaps 277 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:40.039 for the Housewives shows, and you should be hosting game shows, and you 278 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.759 should be doing this and that. But what he's not supposed to be doing 279 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:53.279 is doing a lot of cocaine and telling his employees on the shows that they 280 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.039 should have sex in front of him or watch him have sex or whatever. 281 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:03.640 It's stuff like that he's been accused of. And then what else you do. 282 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:14.079 He does cocaine with some people and gives them favorable treatment. That's one 283 00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:21.880 of these allegations said you have to do cocaine with him to get something good 284 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.880 on the drug related favoritism we're calling this. So someone just sued him, 285 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:36.119 named Liam McSweeney and she's forty one years old and she just filed this on 286 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.000 Tuesday. There's all kinds of other lawsuits being filed against the guy too. 287 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:44.039 He's kind of like the p Diddy of reality TV. The lawsuit says he 288 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.839 engaged in cocaine use with housewives and other Bravo celebrities who are called Bravo celebrities 289 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:55.200 that he employs, and he rewards housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more 290 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:03.119 favorable treatment and edits so they got more screen time. Yeah, so the 291 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.920 lawyers for Andy Cohen say this is ridiculous and outrageous and the only reason this 292 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:22.960 lawsuit exists is because she was denied participation. McSweeney was on some Housewives of 293 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.599 New York thing, and then she was on something called Ultimate Girls Trip, 294 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:32.720 and then she was in talks about returning to the franchise on a thing called 295 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.519 Real Housewives of New York Legacy, which filmed after that and aired in twenty 296 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.960 twenty three. But she's ultimately not cast in that show because the production decided 297 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.079 she was not a Legacy cast member because she only joined in season twelve. 298 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:52.960 And the source for this article says that if she was cast in Legacy like 299 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:57.079 she wanted, this would not be happening. She'd be doing cocaine with Andy 300 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.480 Cohen and getting some good screen time. I made that part up, Okay. 301 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:08.880 So she also claims this is like a constant thing going on in these 302 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.240 shows that are stupid. Why am I talking about them? I don't know. 303 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:17.960 But it's interesting because she is complaining about she's has struggles with alcohol, 304 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.599 but they want her to drink on the show and they won't drive her to 305 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:26.400 alcoholics anonymous meetings like like was agreed in her deal, and so they just 306 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.799 want her to be drunk and to get good ratings. And you know that's 307 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:37.000 something are these are Are they encouraging these drunks to be more drunk so they 308 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.160 get better ratings and better TV? I hope not. They shouldn't. I 309 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.480 mean that would that would be the day that I would quit that show. 310 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:47.759 But some people say that's all they do. But to me, that's where 311 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:56.240 you cross the line, and that is quite immortal. So this other star 312 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.640 suing, Andy Cohen says that he bragged about how he'd like to sleep with 313 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:07.079 another Bravo star and he was thinking about her and invited Glanville to watch over 314 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.240 FaceTime. Yeah, I don't know, it's just just what goes on over 315 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.039 there, is it true? We don't know. But man, are they 316 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:19.440 fighting and just you know, suing each other back and forth. So it's 317 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.359 the last time I'll bring it up. How's that? I promise, But 318 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:29.720 when we come back, I will talk about Prince Harry and Megan Markle, 319 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:34.559 which is easy just as gross. So my apologies in advance. Joe Scalante 320 00:27:34.599 --> 00:28:03.319 Live from Hollywood, Joe ask coming on, Oh we are back. Joe 321 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.680 Life from Hollywood, the business end of show business. Well, I forgot. 322 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.880 I saw a couple more movies. I rounded out the top ten or 323 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:18.079 the ten Oscar nominees, so I've seen them all now. This week I 324 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.920 saw Anatomy of a Fall from a French director, Justine Triett. She's done 325 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.200 a lot of films in France. She's one of only the third woman to 326 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:33.359 be nominated for a Palm d'ur at the Camp Film Festival. And this is 327 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:41.279 a movie that's in English and French, a little German, and it is 328 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:48.720 h It's a woman is suspected of her husband's murder and their blind son faces 329 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:53.759 a moral dilemma as the soul witness. Right, it's pretty hitchcock asque, 330 00:28:55.319 --> 00:29:03.440 but it's Let me read my review from letterbox. I saw it, I 331 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.920 rented it. I ret Yeah, this one you have to rent. You 332 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:08.599 can see it, you can see it right now, but you got to 333 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:15.960 rent it on Apple or whoever else you can rent movies. I called it 334 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.319 a clever, high brow film in English, French and German about a couple 335 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.680 who are too smart to know how to love or raise a child. I'm 336 00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:29.440 glad I'm not this smart. It didn't turn out well for anyone. It's 337 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.920 a little spoiler. Livert. Yeah, you know, this is one of 338 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.359 those movies where it's hard for me as a Catholic to you know, I 339 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.519 have to suspend disbelief like all these movies that have these dilemmas. I mean, 340 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:47.960 there's so many of these movies have these big problems they're trying to solve 341 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:55.400 where just being a Catholic would would solve them, And so I have a 342 00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.440 hard time relating. I go, well, you guys have all these problems 343 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.440 with this couple. Wann't you go to confession and why don't you talk to 344 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.440 your priest and move on with it? And you got this kid here, 345 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:12.920 put them in Catechism, just move on. There's other things to worry about 346 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.599 then this petty fighting that you're doing. But I guess it would ruin a 347 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:22.400 lot of drama. So it's kind of like cell phones can ruin stories, 348 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:27.720 and so just try to plant your story in a world where there's no cell 349 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.799 phones, like a you know, a late nineteen eighties or something that happened 350 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:40.440 a lot with my murder show that I wrote for called True Nightmares for Discovery 351 00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.519 I d we had to set everything in a world with no cell phoness, 352 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.640 not too old to where it's expensive period costumes, but not too new because 353 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:55.759 if you had cell phones, then this mystery wouldn't make sense. So that's 354 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.359 but, madam, do I recommend Anatomy of a Fall? Yes, I 355 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.319 do. You know. It's a good movie. I give it four stars 356 00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:10.279 now, but you know I'm glad I'm not them. Another one I saw 357 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.440 is that you can see on Showtime right now, is called Past Lives. 358 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:22.240 This is directed by another female named Selene Song. She's a Korean. I 359 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:29.200 think she lives in the United States and maybe it was from Canada, but 360 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.119 she directs a lot of plays and this is her first feature and it's already 361 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.920 nominated for Best Picture, so wow, she's sitting the ground running. My 362 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.880 review for that was I called it a simple but modern love story about former 363 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:48.319 childhood sweethearts in Korea. But I did love it, and I would tell 364 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.559 you when I just lost it at some point in this movie, but that 365 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.839 would be a spoiler, so I'm not going to tell you. But it's 366 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.119 you know what, It's a great movie, and it is free if you 367 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.160 have Showtime, and if you have Paramount Plus, you have showtime, So 368 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.079 I think I would definitely recommend this. I gave it four out of five 369 00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:20.039 stars on my letter boxed and it's one of those movies that it just might 370 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.079 kind of watch over and over again. If you want to be sad or 371 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.559 kind of like when you kind of like when you listen to sad country music, 372 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.119 you want to be sad, watch this movie. It's not that sad. 373 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.119 It's not like it's just, you know, a little bit charming, 374 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:49.279 interesting, and then it's it's hard but maybe silly. Okay, Done Too, 375 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.640 I saw that we already talked about that Dune Too. Everything in Done 376 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:57.279 Too is like really silly. The stuff they're wearing is silly, the stuff 377 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:04.440 they're talking about is silly. But if you spend enough money on something, 378 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:08.279 it's not silly anymore because what are you guys doing? What'd you just say? 379 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.119 That's silly? It's all silly. What are you wearing? What are 380 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.720 you guys all doing? Oh? But then they spend a gazillion dollars on 381 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.720 the battle scene and you're like, ah, this is awesome. Bringing on. 382 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:28.079 So I've seen all the movies for the Academy Awards. Let's go recap 383 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:36.880 them. We have the two that I just saw, Past Lives and Anatomy 384 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:42.960 of a Fall, American Fiction, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the 385 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:50.079 Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, and Poor Things, and Zone of Interest. 386 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:55.119 Out of all these movies, my number one. Zone of Interest number 387 00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:07.079 two, Oppenheimer number three, Barbie number four, Past Lives number five, 388 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:22.400 Anatomy of a Fall number six, The Holdovers number seven, Poor Things number 389 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:30.559 eight, American Fiction number nine, Maestro number ten, Killers of the Flower 390 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:36.039 Moon. How's that? I watched Killers of the Flower Moon again, and 391 00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:38.039 as you may have remembered, I did not like it. I walked out 392 00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.800 of the movie. But now that I've seen it again, I can't remember 393 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.239 like when I walked out or why it was so important to me. So 394 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:47.039 anyway, maybe I misjudged it. I like it a little better now. 395 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:55.599 But the Zone of Interest definitely definitely the best. It's the cleverest. It's 396 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.880 like, hey man, we're lucky someone made a movie about this. This 397 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.559 is a really weird world. Maybe there's some other movies that should have been 398 00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:06.039 on this list that I saw, and we'll talk about that next week. 399 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.880 Right now, I want to talk about what's going on at the willy Wonka 400 00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:21.159 experience, the immersive musement park thing in Scotland. Evidently it was so bad 401 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.559 people called the police. That's how bad it was. This is a ripoff. 402 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:27.960 I've been ripped off. I'm calling the cops and that's what happened. 403 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.599 I guess that happens in Scotland. Can't really do that here. It's a 404 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:37.800 civil matter. Okay, this was so bad it was criminal. It was 405 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.719 just like, hey, you're gonna be in a willy Wonka. There's gonna 406 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.280 be a lot of giant willy Wonka things, props, You're gonna be immersed 407 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.639 in a willy Wonka, you know, chocolate world, And there was like 408 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:54.559 no chocolate there. Everybody got two jelly beans and it was just really sad. 409 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:59.840 So you can see some video of it on my Instagram now my Instagram 410 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:05.519 facebook page Joe Ascalante Live from Hollywood Facebook page. But I just think it's 411 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.679 funny in Scotland if like someone got so ripped off. They felt so ripped 412 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.320 off by this thing. It's got, you know, it's an amusement park 413 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.480 experience kind of thing in a warehouse. They called the police. They got 414 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:22.039 the police involved. Scotland Yard or someone like that or someplace like that. 415 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.000 Anyway, let's leave it right there, and I'll leave you with just a 416 00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.920 taste of the greatest song ever written. Don't forget to get your tickets for 417 00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:34.800 the No Values Festival on June eighth with the Vandals and the Misfits and Sublime, 418 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.440 Social Distortion and others. And the Vandals will be playing at the Punk 419 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.880 Rock Museum in Las Vegas on March thirty first, And I'll be doing some 420 00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.360 tours, maybe one of them will be for you.
