00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:09.439
You're listening to bill Handle on demand
from KFI AM six FORTYFI AM six forty

2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.480
bill Handle. Here it is a
Thursday morning, July eighteenth, as we're

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.760
looking at yet another heat wave.
You know, as hot as it is.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.120
I guess it's been cool the last
couple of days relative to what it's

5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.399
going to be. And some of
the top stories we're looking at. Jd

6
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.960
Vance accepts the GOP nomination for Vice
president. What a shocker that is.

7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:38.359
And tonight it's going to be the
crowning of Donald Trump as the official nominee

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.679
and he's going to give a speech
tonight. Can't wait for that one.

9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.320
Now, I want to talk about
another issue of homelessness. Supreme Court granted

10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.960
city's more power to ban sleeping outside, So you got homeless people have to

11
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.880
make a choice, try to get
into a shelter or maybe going to jail

12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:03.960
or getting a fine which keeps going. And you've got public records this is

13
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.959
obtained by cal Matters, show that
most cities and counties have ignored a recent

14
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:15.920
state law aimed at reforming dangerous conditions
in those shelters. Now, when you

15
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.120
think of shelters, do you think
that there are dangerous places to be.

16
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.879
You don't, and yet they are. In twenty twenty one, after reports

17
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.959
of maggots, flooding, sexual harassment, and shelters, the state legislature created

18
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:41.760
a new system requiring local governments to
inspect the facilities after the complaints, file

19
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.519
annual reports on shelter conditions, plans
to fix safety issues, on building code

20
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.519
violations. Okay, that's the law. Five of California's fifty eight counties actually

21
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.799
complied, and I filed shelter reports
LA and Orange County two out of the

22
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.359
five, which is kind of neat
that we actually have complied. But I

23
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.599
think LA and Orange County more committed
to sheltering the homeless and many other counties

24
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.719
why well, La County has almost
sixty thousand homeless Orange County. I don't

25
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.360
even know how many are Orange County
And how do they get this information?

26
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:27.439
Police call log, shelter incidant reports. Wreckords obtained by cal Matters show that

27
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:34.599
a lot of these reports aren't being
filed. There was a information, but

28
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.000
not a report filed, of a
child falling out of an unreinforced window in

29
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:47.879
San Mateo. Multiple allegations, sexual
harassment, deaths, mold vermin food shortages.

30
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.879
California spent at least one point five
billion dollars on shelters and related solutions

31
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.719
since twenty eighteen, and none of
it seen to work. Because here's what's

32
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:07.680
happening with shelters their store. They
are a short term solution, a stop

33
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:15.199
gap solution for people until they get
into medium or long term housing. That's

34
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.960
the ultimate goal. The problem is, long term housing is hideously expensive.

35
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:28.960
I mean half a million dollars per
unit expensive. So what's the cheapest way

36
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.039
of dealing with the homeless folks?
Put them in shelters. It's bunk beds,

37
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:40.840
it's a single room, it's a
kitchen, one mental health provider maybe.

38
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.879
And the law says you have to
report serious violations. But here's the

39
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.199
problem with the law. It's up
to the county and the city to figure

40
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:58.240
out if the violation is serious enough
to report. It's the cities and counties

41
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.159
that have that responsibility on this law. So you have a violation, let

42
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.919
me give you an example. You
have a violation, a serious violation of

43
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:14.360
a city shelter and the city must
investigate and then if it's serious enough,

44
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.439
off goes the report to the state. Now, what if the city views

45
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:27.319
that it's not serious enough. Right
If I'm running a city government and I

46
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.839
send an investigative team out to one
of my shelters, one of our shelters,

47
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.279
and there are kinds of violations,
Do I turn around then and send

48
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.560
the report to the legislature, to
the California authorities, and then turn around

49
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.240
and have to fix the shelter per
what the legislature wants. In other words,

50
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:54.720
guard yourself. So like airplane manufacturers
submitting their inspections of their airplanes to

51
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.959
the FEDS, same thing with maintenance, but a Southwest got nailed because maintenance

52
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.120
has to be reported to the FAA, inspectors have to come out. Well,

53
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.319
you don't need an inspector will tell
you what we've done. And of

54
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.279
course all kinds of problems arise.
The same thing happens with shelters. So

55
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:20.759
this bill needs a lot more,
many more teeth. And here is something

56
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.160
as we look back, and I
just I'm reminded of this. You know,

57
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.920
until the nineteen eighties, people were
poor, poor, poor in California

58
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.800
could still afford rented rooms or cheap
hotels. People who otherwise are living in

59
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.600
shelters. Today we go back to
the eighties, they could actually afford to

60
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:46.959
live someplace. Well, you have
gentrification, wage stagnation, federal cuts to

61
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:56.240
housing and cash AIDS AIDS itself,
drug epidemics. So this is a wild

62
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:01.199
figure. In less than three decades, the state went from thirty seven thousand

63
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:10.319
dedicated beds for mental ill patients thirty
seven thousand the state had to nineteen eighty

64
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:17.920
three. By nineteen eighty three it
was twenty five hundred. This is a

65
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.800
problem that becomes insurmountable. Is it
fixable? It is, And I've said

66
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.879
this over and over again. You
have to throw lots and lots of money

67
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.439
at this to the exclusion of everything
else if you're going to make a real

68
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.000
den or it's incremental, which it
is, because I don't know at what

69
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:41.240
point we've reached more beds than people
becoming homeless, more shelter space than people

70
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.319
becoming homeless. I think right now
we're still beating it. You build a

71
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.360
bed, one point three people become
homeless, Well, that is unsustainable,

72
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:55.560
and when it turns around, then
you get little bits and pieces and hopefully

73
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:01.800
it works. Okay, Venmo,
I do not use Venmo, Kono said,

74
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:09.600
he uses Venmo and said she uses
Venmo. Neil. Neil uses Venmo,

75
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.800
and I don't use Venmo because I
don't like paying people for anything.

76
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.480
It's you know, using Venmo means
you're paying. Now using Venmo also means

77
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.160
you're receiving, So you know,
I have sort of a mixed bag.

78
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.240
And of course with the Venmo among
other apps, allows you to send money

79
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.360
seamlessly. And what happens is we're
turning into each other's accountants, is what's

80
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:40.399
happening. So tools like Venmo and
split wise make it easy to ask friends

81
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.920
to chip in for a pizza if
someone pays. All right, let's say

82
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.279
I'm buying a pizza and my understanding
is you're helping me buy a pizza,

83
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:59.240
and then you really they don't think
they're helping you buy a pizza. Sort

84
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.319
of a misunderstand This happens all the
time, and there actually is a reason

85
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.639
I'm saying this. It's kind of
difficult to say, hey, yesterday we

86
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.360
went to the pizza parlor or went
to a meal and I paid for it.

87
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.000
You sort of misunderstanding. So I
instead of you go, instead of

88
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.839
saying hey, yeah, I want
you to pitch in, you just send

89
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.120
a Venmobill. That's it. You
just sort of send, you know,

90
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.079
please pay for this, and the
money is sent, and what it does

91
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.759
is take all of the conflict out
of it. And so a deep friendship,

92
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.600
I don't care how deep it is
or how old or how treasured it

93
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.720
is, always contain some degree of
score keeping payback. You know. For

94
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:48.360
example, let's say you cover the
check at a dinner next time out,

95
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.799
do you what do you expect?
Matter of fact, I think one of

96
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.799
the few places where money is not
expected to be paid back is when I

97
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:07.159
take Neil to lunch. I always
pay, And that has happened ever since

98
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.000
the early days. When I was
taking Neil out for lunch, I went

99
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.159
to the restroom and I asked the
waitress, the female waitress in this case,

100
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.759
for the check, and she said, it's already been taken care of

101
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.080
by the gentleman you're with, Neil, and Neil, if you remember,

102
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.080
I looked at you and I said, Neil, not only do I think

103
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.600
you're a moron, whatever a steam
I have for you just dropped ten points.

104
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.039
Okay, I just want to let
you know I'll pay for lunch,

105
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.840
because what is my rule? Whoever
makes the most money pays. It's that

106
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:43.120
simple. And not only do I
make a good living, I also know

107
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.480
that Neil works for iHeart and so
therefore, if I didn't have my law

108
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.320
practice, Yes, if I didn't
have my law practice, if I didn't

109
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.519
have everything else going, it wouldn't
it would be a different deal. I

110
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.519
don't even reach for my wallet anymore. No, No, you actually,

111
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.480
if the check is thrown in front
of you, you toss it to me

112
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.039
like a frisbee. Yeah, I'm
not touching it. Yeah, exactly.

113
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.559
But you know ninety million US Venmo
users. And this goes way back started

114
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.960
with PayPal. You know who created
PayPal. One of the founders of PayPal,

115
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.639
Elon Musk. That's where he got
all his money to start SpaceX and

116
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.240
Tesla, et cetera. And so
asking for here's another one. Asking for

117
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:35.000
anything less than five bucks is considered
so cheap, is considered so penny.

118
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.639
Anti is that the word is considered
such a drag and people are doing it

119
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.480
now changes the way social intercourse is
being handled. Amy, do you use

120
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.799
Venmo? I don't. I use
zell, but I think I have a

121
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:54.519
Venmo account, but don't use it. Yeah, I don't. I mean

122
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.279
it's I'm just not interested. You
know, if I'm buying dinner, I'm

123
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.679
buying dinner, and I'm not shy
about saying, hey, I paid for

124
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.879
dinner last time, you're buying this
time, and or we split the bill

125
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:15.639
or whatever. But that is interaction
that that may be an uncomfortable That may

126
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.519
be an uncomfortable encounter because, as
I said, I think you're buying and

127
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.519
it's on you, and you think, no, we're gonna split it and

128
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.279
all of it, and it gets
uncomfortable. What do you say, Let's

129
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.000
split the bill? Sometimes? What
do you do? Sometimes I tell the

130
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.320
server, Hey, I'll put it
on two bills here, let's take two

131
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.039
credit cards. That's uncomfortable when one
party thinks one way and the other one

132
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.159
and that and Venmo makes it so
much easier to do that, and it

133
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.080
is just the way we change.
It's just another way the internet is taking

134
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.159
away interactions. You don't talk as
much. You certainly don't write as much

135
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.960
when you do, for example,
texts, it's all in little bits and

136
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.480
pieces. Certainly if you tweet,
it's in little tiny bits and pieces.

137
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.879
We just live a different life,
all right. Fun story. They came

138
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.320
out of the Atlantic. And this
has to do with parents not caring if

139
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.639
their kids get married anymore. Used
to be oh my god, my kids

140
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.000
are getting married. They're gonna have
any kids. They're gonna have kids,

141
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.159
so that's great. Yeah, parents
don't care anymore, and they shouldn't.

142
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.759
And I'll tell you why, because
they shouldn't. My daughter Barbara is getting

143
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.039
married. Oh god, how excited
is she? Dad? You're excited?

144
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.679
No, I'm not. Oh my
god, I want to have kids.

145
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.919
I don't care. Really, that's
right, you know, go ahead,

146
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.679
not your socks off, doesn't matter. By the way, I'm not alone

147
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.840
at all. Marriage used to be
really interesting. Marriage used to be political.

148
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.559
Literally, marriage had nothing to do
with anything other than politics. Your

149
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:58.840
families combining. You would have royal
houses combining for alliances, the Medici,

150
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.440
the King of France, the King
of England, and I mean it's just

151
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.840
all it was all political alliances.
Then you have arranged marriages, which still

152
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:18.080
happen among orthodox super fundamentalist Jews.
And you have arranged marriages India for example,

153
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.919
arranged marriages, and sometimes that's political
or making sure that the spouse is

154
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.039
on the same economic and social level. And so then this crazy ass idea

155
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.159
somehow came into being that you want
to get married for love, and getting

156
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.840
married was still a socioeconomic issue because
for women it was the end all be

157
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.559
all women in work. You find
a good husband that can support you,

158
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.960
that is the win for women.
Well, of course that changed completely,

159
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.080
and what you have now is women
that are basically equal. They's still a

160
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:58.320
glass ceiling. But the majority of
people dual income families and have kids.

161
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.879
And it used to be that it
was really important. Well, let me

162
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.120
give you an example. My parents
had no business having kids. I mean

163
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.519
clearly. I mean, you know, you listen to me and you understand

164
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.759
that. But they had no business
having kids legitimately. And why did they

165
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.879
have kids? Because they were supposed
to, because that was just a thing

166
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.399
to do. You got married and
you had children. It's that simple.

167
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:30.679
It was societal pressure. You know, I got married. Why did I

168
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:37.759
have kids? Because I'm out of
my mind, That's why I had kids.

169
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.720
My daughter I went to lunch the
other day with my daughter, Pamela,

170
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:50.080
and she said, Dad, you
really didn't want us. I go,

171
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.360
yeah, I did. I'm fine
with that, or maybe I didn't,

172
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.320
you know, I was sort of
up in the air. Certainly your

173
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.159
mother wanted children far more than I
did. But oh, come on,

174
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.559
dad, you really didn't want it
to have us. I go, no,

175
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.720
come on, stop it. I
mean, I love you guys.

176
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.200
If I had to do it over
again, that's exactly a dad. If

177
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.519
you had to do it over again, you wouldn't do it. And I

178
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.639
said, come on, that's not
true. Until the check came and I

179
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.720
realized how much money I would have
saved if Pamela was not there for lunch.

180
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.159
And I looked at her and go, you know, you're absolutely right.

181
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:26.639
But here's what it's about about having
children and not caring if you're married

182
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.480
or not. It really is today
about putting kids in this world, and

183
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.519
it is a very different world than
it used to be. I'm actually pretty

184
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.320
happy that I'm at the end well
not the end of my life certainly,

185
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.240
but I'm not starting my life and
I'm not in my twenties and I'm not

186
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.919
beginning my career because frankly, for
my kids and their kids, it's not

187
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.840
going to be a fun place to
live with climate change, with what's going

188
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.639
on politically, with the wars that
are coming, water wars because there's not

189
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:06.519
enough water cyber wars, the pollution, particularly climate change, that's changing everything.

190
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.320
Look at every day, the storms
are here, the heat wave.

191
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.600
It's getting hotter and hotter, and
it's getting wetter and wetter, and it's

192
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.639
getting more hurricaneer and hurricane here,
and droughdier and drowdier. I mean,

193
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.399
it's not a place to be particularly, And you know what, most most

194
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.879
of parents just want the kids.
They just want stability. Don't care if

195
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.320
you're married, I want you to
be stable kids. Yeah, it doesn't

196
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.559
matter. There's no social stigma anymore. And by the way, the vast

197
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.960
majority of people who do live together, I mean not the vast majority,

198
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:51.120
but the majority of people who just
live together and have kids are unmarried.

199
00:16:52.399 --> 00:17:00.600
It's a whole new social interaction.
There's new social contracts involved. So my

200
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.519
daughter is getting married, Barbara,
And of course I'm paying for the wedding

201
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:11.240
naturally. Isn't that fun? Yeah, And we were going to have it

202
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.519
at a major venue and I said, no, I don't think so.

203
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.519
To give you an idea of the
social end of my life, okay,

204
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.519
and I'm not talking about social end
end of my life, but the social

205
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:29.599
part of my life, I've limited
my daughter's wedding to one hundred guests.

206
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.319
That's it. No, I'm not
going to no more than one hundred.

207
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.680
I do not want one of those
big two hundred people weding. I don't

208
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:40.319
want to pay for it. So
it's one hundred. That's it. You

209
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:48.400
know what my side is out of
those hundred eight ninety two. On Brandon's

210
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:56.480
side, he's got a big family. Everybody hates me. Moe Kelly,

211
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:02.480
who is heard every single day Monday
through right here on KFI. He's host

212
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.880
of Later with Mo Kelly, Our
entertainment Maven, Good morning Mo, Good

213
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.680
morning Bill. Who's writing your life
story? You know what? Nobody?

214
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.680
Nobody, No, nobody, I
mean no one. Yeah, I've had

215
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.039
Yeah, I had a book publisher
come to me and said, do you

216
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.559
want to write your story? And
it was a vanity book, one of

217
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.680
those vanity guys that you pay them
for it. No thanks, Yeah,

218
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:32.440
it's not that interesting, Mo.
Now, Emmy nominations, let's start with

219
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.559
that. Any surprises because those dropped
yesterday. I wouldn't say it's a surprise,

220
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.440
but if you've been watching the industry
overall, I think you can officially

221
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.119
pronounce broadcast television dead. You have
Netflix at the top spot with the most

222
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.319
Emmy nominations, and then FX,
which is a cable network slash streaming in

223
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.759
second Netflix had one hundred and seven
nominations. FX got ninety three, and

224
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.839
HBO Max got ninety one, and
you have to go down about seven or

225
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.599
eight spots to get to ABC,
which is behind Apple TV. Apple TV

226
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.960
Plus got seventy two nominations in ABC
at thirty eight, which just means that

227
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.000
broadcast television as we know it,
with the exception of a very few shows,

228
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:19.039
is completely irrelevant. Hey, when
did that happen? Well, first

229
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:26.359
of all, when was non broadcast
television even allowed to bring it to come

230
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.319
into the Emmy world. I can't
remember the exact year, but I know

231
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.839
around twenty fourteen there was this shift
and HBO started moving to the forefront because

232
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.559
you have shows like Game of Thrones
and The Newsroom, and HBO really expanded

233
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:45.480
their television programming that people started looking
at. Then cable and also Netflix was

234
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.200
starting to come on the scene and
offering television offerings beyond just the movies in

235
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.359
the DVDs where you saw this shift
in viewing habits, But now it's completely

236
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.279
it's complete let's quickly shift gears.
Do we only have a co couple of

237
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.880
minutes. And that's the tent pole
picture this year, Twisters, And I'm

238
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.920
assuming it's named after the Chubby Checkers
fan club. That's it. What is

239
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.359
it about? And when you take
big budget, what are you talking about

240
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.559
big budget? Well, it's in
a two hundred million dollar range. And

241
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.279
this is a movie which is in
the same universe as the nineteen ninety six

242
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.240
movie Twister, which stars Helen Hunt
and Bill Paxton. But it is not

243
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.880
a continuation of that storyline. It
is not a sequel. I've already seen

244
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.680
and I was able to go to
a special a screening of it. It's

245
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:40.319
an homage, if you will,
to the nineteen ninety six movie. There

246
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.559
are a lot of Easter eggs and
throwbacks, but it's not a story continuation

247
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.720
other than thematically where you have two
people who are thrown together in this particular

248
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.359
iteration and they are trying to find
out a way which they can better predict

249
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:59.759
and also understand what is happening inside
the funnel cloud of a tornado. The

250
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.400
whole thing is about tornado, and
I'm assuming they end up in Oz And

251
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.000
then you have the witches flying around
or do I have that wrong? You

252
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.720
don't have it completely wrong. But
it's very, very similar to the nineteen

253
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.480
ninety six movie. It doesn't cover
a lot of new ground. Glenn Powell

254
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.519
also stars in it. He's he's
eminently watchable, he's I think he's a

255
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.000
fine actor, and he has a
great career in front of him. But

256
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.440
not a lot of is asked of
him in this I'm assuming that the real

257
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.880
star of something like this would be
the CGI. Oh. Absolutely. The

258
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:37.720
tornadoes are or twisters in this case, are definitely the villain and an on

259
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.519
screen character in persona. You feel
them. There's an dominance about them,

260
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.920
and there's a brooding feeling where around
any corner that you may look there will

261
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.480
be a tornado, and the movie
does a good job of capturing that feeling.

262
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.720
All right, did you enjoy it? Did you think it was well

263
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.160
crafted? I think you walk out
saying yeah, pretty good. No,

264
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.759
No, I thought it was okay
when I waked out of the nineteen ninety

265
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.039
six this was wow. This one
was not wow. Okay, all right,

266
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.680
