WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:08.199 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty six 2 00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.039 forty. It's Later with mo Kelly Tuesday Night. We're live everywhere on the 3 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.440 iHeartRadio app. And joining us in studio is Chris Woolsey Chicken Soup for the 4 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.839 Soul Entertainment. Chris, my brother. It's always good to see you. 5 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.879 How you been. I've been well. How about you. I've been doing 6 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.359 all right. I follow you on Instagram and you're always gallivanting around the world. 7 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.679 I like to see the travels of you, your family and all the 8 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.240 things that you do. We've had a busy couple of weeks. Yes, 9 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:40.640 yes, yep. We had a wedding and then my wonderful nephew got married 10 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:48.159 up in Sacramento, and a few days before my mom decided to take a 11 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.960 flying leap and unfortunately broke her hip. Oh I'm running for hip surgery. 12 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.439 So we were juggling Mom in the hospital and a wedding that was getting put 13 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.079 on. So it was a busy week, event filled, yes, that 14 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.079 it is. But Mom pulled through like a champ outstanding. Everything's great, 15 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.239 all right, all right. Outside of that, you also probably try to 16 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.640 take in some movies every now and then, be it streaming or in the 17 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.920 theaters, But what do you find. Put it this way, my desires 18 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.640 usually change with the seasons as we get closer to summer. Definitely in spring, 19 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.120 I want more action, more adventure, things of that nature. Yes, 20 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.239 blockbusters definitely are on my summer dance card for sure, yep. But 21 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.079 it doesn't seem like there are a lot of summer blockbusters on the horizon and 22 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.200 definitely not big movies in theaters. I mean, there's Fall Guy, but 23 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.480 I don't know how big that is given its lackluster first weekend. Yeah, 24 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.920 I guess it brought in less than they were hoping. It didn't a lot 25 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.400 less, like yeah, like twenty eight million something like that. It brought 26 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.680 in twenty eight millions. And what was projected Mark, do you remember what 27 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.439 Fall Guy was projected to get in its first week? Around forty forty Okay, 28 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.719 that's significant, Yeah, yeah, yeah, and yeah, you and 29 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.039 I were talking about that, Like, I like Ryan Gosling as an actor, 30 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.120 but I don't know, like it it seems really actorly to have him 31 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:23.680 as a big action star. Ryan Gosling, I don't mind him. I'm 32 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.680 just not sure. I buy him in certain roles. I don't buy him 33 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.159 as the action guy, like, for example, I liked The Gray Man, 34 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.080 which was on Netflix. I probably would have liked it a lot better 35 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.759 if someone else was cast in Gosling's role. Is that right? Yeah? 36 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.039 And I'm not against Ryan Gosling. It's just how you perceive actors. He's 37 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.800 fine in what he does. I didn't see Blade Runner twenty forty nine. 38 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.439 Mark, was he good at that? It's good and he's good in it? 39 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.000 Really? Okay? Yeah? I liked him, and that probably one 40 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.400 of my favorite roles of his. All right, all right, but you 41 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:06.599 know it fit for me seeing him in movies like Barbie. Sure, yeah, 42 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.439 yeah, I think when he's slightly comedic, he fits what I think 43 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.680 he does. He thrives at yep, less so than action. I agree. 44 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.039 But Mark had seen The fall Guy and you were generally okay with it. 45 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.039 No, I thought it was terrible. Okay, It's got a weirdly 46 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.159 high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Last I checked, it was something about like 47 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.400 eighty three percent. But I found it just to be nearly unbearable, and 48 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.759 it outstated's welcome by maybe a half hour. Okay, all right, Well, 49 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.719 if anything, it kind of reminds us what we're looking for in an 50 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.840 action movie. The fall Guy is an idea. I wasn't even biging to 51 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.360 the TV show. I don't even know if the show was even considered a 52 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.680 hit in its day. Well it left it I think around five seasons. 53 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.400 That many seasons. Yeah, Ok, that's not small. No, it's 54 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.240 not small, But it wouldn't have been my first pick for something to turn 55 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.000 into a movie. Boot Yeah, yeah, yeah, agreed. But I'm 56 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.199 quite sure it inspires you as far as well. I should say we all 57 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.800 like action movies. They think the general moviegoer appreciates action movies. What are 58 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.319 some of the elements that you require in an action movie? Well, so 59 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.879 I've often talked my son is in a film program, and so he likes 60 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.160 to talk like film theory. Why does this movie work? This movie doesn't? 61 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.319 And we talk about leading men in action films and why someone like Harrison 62 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:40.079 Ford is very successful in action franchises. And I think it's because he's a 63 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:46.120 relatable action star. He's often off his pins and like me, I'm off 64 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.160 my pins going to the grocery store, you know, let alone, you 65 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.839 know, jumping off the roof. I mean that's why Fallible, Yeah, 66 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.959 that's why Diehard is such a great film. He doesn't have a shoes for 67 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.639 like right two thirds of the movie. That makes him like a really vulnerable 68 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.800 hero. And I love that in action films. If there's some sort of 69 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:14.839 fatal flaw in the hero that keeps him from being impregnable, that is engaging 70 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:19.040 to me. All Right, is there anything on your list that you know 71 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:26.040 that you want to see as we start moving towards the summer season? You 72 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.959 know what I have not seen we want to go see. I think we 73 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.720 talked about this one to go see Monkey Man a couple of weeks ago, 74 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.199 and there were like ten trailers. I think one or two of the movies 75 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.519 actually looked like I was excited about it. And I don't know, There's 76 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.600 just doesn't seem to be a ton in the pipeline right now. The only 77 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.759 things that I can think of that I know I want to see absolutely need 78 00:05:49.800 --> 00:06:00.279 to see our Furiosa and Wolverine and Deadpool. That's it. I can't There 79 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.439 may be something which will come along the way. The reason I mentioned that 80 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:10.120 it's already been a very soft box office season. We talk about how theater 81 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.519 chains are struggling. It's one thing to have a movie in which does relatively 82 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.480 well on a given weekend, but what about the other four or five days 83 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.279 of the week sure in which they're supposed to be open. You need to 84 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:25.879 have movies which not only have staying power, but also encourage the casual movie 85 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.680 fan, the movie goer to really come and make the effort and go to 86 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.199 a movie theater. Because I'm not and I would like to think of myself 87 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:41.120 as someone who really loves movies and pre pandemic thoroughly enjoyed the theater experience. 88 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.360 Now, I know that movie's not going to hang around in theaters long, 89 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.360 whether I want to see it or not. If I'm patient or even somewhat 90 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:53.399 impatient, it'll be on streaming in about two to three weeks. And now, 91 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.199 if I'm willing to pay nineteen ninety nine for that first release, you 92 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.480 know on demand, I watch the movie have that pretty good home theater setup. 93 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.279 Pretty good yep, yep, me too. And so you know we've 94 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.879 talked about this before, but I love to go to the movies. I 95 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:17.319 love the theatrical experience. I think there is something to that that even in 96 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:23.879 a nice home environment. I would prefer if as long as the movie is 97 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.279 engaging and it gets me to the theater, I would prefer to see it 98 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.040 in the theater than I would in my home. There's just something magical about 99 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.399 going to a movie theater and I love that. But that being said, 100 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.120 it's way more expensive to take my family to the movie theater, and so 101 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.600 there has to be some sort of a draw. There has to be a 102 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.319 level of quality that I'm going to lay down that much money rather than set 103 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.560 on my couch and pay like you said nineteen ninety nine and pop my own 104 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.759 popcorn and drink my own soda. That's interesting. The cost doesn't bother me. 105 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.439 It's yeah, it's more cost prohibitive for some folks. Not that I'm 106 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.680 richer at that, but if I want to see a movie, I want 107 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.079 to see a movie. The cost is on things. For me, it's 108 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.680 the time commitment. I know that it's going to take about four hours of 109 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.720 my day, be it driving to the theater, the ten trailers that I 110 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.439 have to watch before I even get to the movie, and then driving back. 111 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.560 It's much more of a commitment as opposed to being home. I may 112 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.560 watch two thirds of a movie and I'll pause it or you know, come 113 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.519 back to it later. It afore it fits more my lifestyle, not being 114 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.839 in the theater. Sure see, I'm Scottish, so everything comes down in 115 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:37.480 dollars. See it's a variable for me, but it's not the variable. 116 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.200 Sure, sure, I wanted to see Oppenheimer. I went to the theater. 117 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.519 I saw Oppenheimer. Yep, it was great, but it also took 118 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.840 an extra hour out of my day of a three hour movie. You know, 119 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.919 it was a commitment that I'm not going to make for all of them, 120 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.759 for sure. So with all that said, when we come back, 121 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.679 let's get into Crackle and Redbox and how this action conversation possibly figures into your 122 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.600 selection. And so for the week, it's later with Mo Kelly, Chris 123 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.120 Woolsey Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment joins me in the studio and he he's 124 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.679 here with gifts.

I cried more when they died than when my mother 139 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.080 died. And I'm not making that up. I don't know what to think 140 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.559 about that, but I will take you at your word. Well, I 141 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.480 wasn't that close with my mother, but rhenomenal cat Okay.

I love documentaries in general, but I love documentaries about Hollywood history 168 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:41.360 in particular, and I've got to say this is one of the best documentaries 169 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.960 on a very little known niche of Hollywood history, and that is not only 170 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:54.320 stunt men, but in the early to late sixties, early seventies and on, 171 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.080 it was British stunt men. In particular. There was this group of 172 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.639 Banish ex soldiers that decided that they were going to become stuntmen, and they 173 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:11.200 came to the US and really revolutionized the stunt industry, mostly because they would 174 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.799 do things that American stuntmen wouldn't necessarily do, and so they were the stuntmen 175 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.960 in Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, all the Bond movies, 176 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.120 Alien, Rambo, Superman. If somebody jumped off the roof of a high 177 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.639 rise on fire, it was quite possibly one of the guys from this documentary. 178 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.360 And they interview them in the documentary and you cannot believe the stories that 179 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.639 these guys tell. It's a miracle any of them survived. Interesting memory, 180 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.879 the origins of Alien. That's a good segue. Yes. So this is 181 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.720 written and directed by Alexander Philippe, really really good. It's got interviews with 182 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.360 a bunch of the original cast, Tom Scarett, Veronica Cartwright. Oh, 183 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.120 I want to take check this out. There's some footage in there from Dan 184 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.200 O'Bannon, who was co writer of the script. They talked to Roger Corman 185 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:07.919 about his thoughts on it, and it basically goes through the archtypal journey of 186 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.600 how the writers came up with this terrifying scenario because it was very different before 187 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.879 you had horror films and you had science fiction films, and Alien was the 188 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.080 first one of those really to blur those lines. And it's really a horror 189 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:28.320 movie in space, but why was it so terrifying? And this documentary goes 190 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.519 into all the arc types that Dan O'Bannon mined in order to make this one 191 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.799 of the most horrific theatrical experience. And I know, I know why it 192 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.120 worked. They hid the alien, the monster for at the xenomorph as they 193 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.559 call it, for a lot of the movie, which helped yep for sure, 194 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.039 like Jaws. Yeah, yep, very quickly, red Box. What 195 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.799 do you got for us? For red Box? We've got a ton of 196 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.440 action films. We've got a great one Hammer of the Gods. This is 197 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.879 starring Charlie Beuley from Nashville on the series Nashville, Alexander Dowling from Game Thrones, 198 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.039 and it's about a young Nordic prince who arrives in England in eight seventy 199 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.080 one to fight off a Saxon uprising. But he has to go find his 200 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.200 brother, who's named Hokin the Ferocious, in order to band the family together 201 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.480 against the Saxons. And it's all based loosely on real history. So that's 202 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.360 a hard name to live up to, right, I'm saying expectations exactly what's 203 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.559 your name? Just call me the ferocious. That's all you need to know. 204 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.600 That's right, yep, yeap, give me one more hobo with a 205 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.240 shotgun. W yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm telling you. 206 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.000 This is Ricker Hower. That's it. The classic Rutgerhower. This is one 207 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.320 of those movies that the title pretty much tells you everything you need to know 208 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.440 about the movie. Rutgerhower plays a hobo. He stumbles onto a shotgun. 209 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.919 How do I not know this one? It is? And so it's actually 210 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.960 I looked it up. It's based on a fake trailer that Robert Rodriguez did 211 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.360 for Grindhouse, and filmmakers saw that and was like, no, that should 212 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.759 be a real movie. And so he it's you know, it's a vigilante. 213 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.919 Uh, it's falling down. It's a guy who's pushed over the edge. 214 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.399 He sees all the evil almost a taxi driver feel. He sees all 215 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.679 the evils of the city, and of course, of course, and he 216 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.720 was perfect. He wants to do something about it, and the shotgun is 217 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.120 his weapon of choice. But it is. It is an exploitation film to 218 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:37.840 the eleventh degree. My favorite Rutger Howard movie this that I know what it 219 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.200 is. Yeah, split second. Oh oh, I thought you were gonna 220 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:49.759 say black The second was so bad it was good. Is this like this 221 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.519 this I don't want to say time time traveling monster, but this monster that 222 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.679 he's gonna goin that's the one where all heat is. He's got a refrigerator 223 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.799 filled with chocolate. Yes, and Samantha from Sex and the City is Yes, 224 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.279 that's another way. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Terrible, 225 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.000 terrible movie, wasn't it. It's so good. The Blind Fury, on 226 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.519 the other hand, is just good. Yes, I'm sorry. But hobo 227 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.920 with a gun, hobo shotgun yep. Yeah. So if you're looking for 228 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:26.160 a gore fest, over the top exploitation film, uh, Quentin Tarantino loves 229 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.759 this movie, it's uh, it's definitely one to check out. Okay, 230 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.079 definitely. You have some great suggestions, you have some great gifts that you've 231 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.079 dropped by, and I am monitoring my diet. Thank you for not bringing 232 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.799 any chocolate chip cookies. I was concerned because you said you're bearing gifts tonight 233 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.279 and I said, please, don't have them bringing those chocolate chips. But 234 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.720 they're coming at least are not coming tonight. That's all that matters. I'm 235 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.640 trying to be good tonight, Chris is always great to see you, and 236 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.160 I hope to see you again soon, but not too soon, because you're 237 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.680 gonna bring chocolate chip cookies. That's right, awesome. Always great to be 238 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.440 here, great to be among the beautiful people. You're listening to later with 239 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:10.160 Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty And unfortunately, it seems that 240 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:17.720 Marvel slash Disney has found its way into a larger debate about politics and woke 241 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:23.480 castings and weather people in a general sense, has super hero fatigue. I've 242 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:30.839 long argued that it's not super hero fatigue. I think it's an unwillingness to 243 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.759 keep spending money on subpar movies. If you go back and look at the 244 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.920 earlier Marvel movies, going back to as early as two thousand and eight with 245 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.920 the first Iron Man, those are superior movies, superior storytelling. Then maybe 246 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.480 some of the more recent movies. Not that The Eternals was bad, it 247 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:56.640 just wasn't very good. Not that Sean She wasn't that bad. It just 248 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.160 wasn't very good. And I think the more recent Marvel we did a poor 249 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:06.640 job of connecting to the larger universe which was the point of the whole Marvel 250 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.799 cinematic universe. That was a lot of the appeal. Would you disagree with 251 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.680 Mark? I think I may have a somewhat harsher opinion of the Bo cause 252 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.200 you mentioned that than you do it, including the Marvels Boy that was a 253 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.559 Code Brown. Well, the Marvels I did not like it all, but 254 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:29.599 I didn't mind Captain Marvel. I think we take for granted just the overt 255 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.079 and window of these movies. I mean, the first ones, the first 256 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:37.400 phase were so good going right up through Avengers Endgame. Yes, that the 257 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.480 ones that maybe we would have just thought were sort of mediocre look terrible in 258 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.039 comparison to those m h And there was a discussion about whether Marvel had lost 259 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.680 its way, Disney had lost its way. Was it connected to Bob Chpek, 260 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.680 the guy who they hired for a short amount of time, and then 261 00:19:53.720 --> 00:20:00.319 Bob Iiger came back in to replace and I guess reset everything Disney was doing 262 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:06.240 in a cinematic sense. To that end, the news now is Disney CEO 263 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.119 Bob Iger said the company Disney will limit its output of Marvel movies to, 264 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:18.000 as he describes it, two good films a year three maximum, Marvel at 265 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.960 their height had at least four. It's weird to fix a specific number on 266 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.680 it instead of just saying, well, green light it when it's good. 267 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.160 That's what I think they should do. This year, Marvel only has one 268 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.880 movie. When I say Marvel, I'm talking about the Marvel production company run 269 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.200 by Kevin Faige, not any movie which has a Marvel character in it, 270 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:47.680 which could be inclusive of Sony pictures like that horrible Madam Web's. Oh yeah, 271 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:51.000 that's not a Disney movie. That's not even what they say is a 272 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:56.079 Marvel movie. That's a movie which has Marvel characters in it, and they 273 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.359 intentionally try to confuse you to make you believe that that's part of the Marvel 274 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.400 cinematic universe that everyone loves and adores. It's less a movie than a war 275 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:11.160 crime. Well, they prosecute people for war crimes. Usually somebody needs to 276 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.359 go to the hay for this one. And also, Bob Iger said he 277 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.440 was going to decrease the number of series that Disney would do from in a 278 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.480 Marvel sense, from four down to two, which would mean if you know, 279 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.240 they had a series called Hawkeye, they had a series called miss Marvel. 280 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.480 They I don't know if this impacts the Star Wars portion of the Disney 281 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.319 Company, but in terms of just Marvel series, there will not be more 282 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:47.200 than two in a given year. We know Daredevil's coming out and that every 283 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.559 indication is that that's going to be outstanding. I hope and I expected to. 284 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.160 I have no reason not to. When they get back to the Bread 285 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.640 and Butter, I think Marvel will be just fine. The problem with Phase 286 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.039 four and Phase five, if you follow the phases, they were mostly new 287 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.319 characters, untethered to any story beforehand, and they didn't pay them off to 288 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.359 link them back to the heritage characters that we loved. Leading up to Avengers 289 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.160 Endgame, which was the end of Phase three, they abandoned all the things 290 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.119 which they were successful doing. Okay, be honest with me. When Captain 291 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:27.000 America threw and caught Thor's hammer, did you shout in the theater? The 292 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:33.960 whole theater erupted, erupted. But also we were more emotionally invested in those 293 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:40.440 characters because we spent the better part of twelve thirteen years with a lot of 294 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:45.920 them. Going back to that was like twenty nineteen of Ironman first Iron Man 295 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.920 was two thousand and eight. Avengers in Game was twenty nineteen, so you 296 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:55.359 had a good eleven years with those characters all total. Yeah, they built 297 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.559 it up just expertly, and they didn't do that in Phase four and Phase 298 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.759 five. The movies they had in Phase four, we've not seen them appear 299 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.200 anywhere else other than like an end credit shot where you think it's supposed to 300 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.839 lead to something and they exist in the same universe, but they're not actually 301 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.440 interacting in a movie sense. On screen, Where's Blade? Where's Black Knight? 302 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.880 Blade keeps getting pushed back for some sort of reasons, you know, 303 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.480 off screen issues as far as writers and direction issues, And that's weird. 304 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:32.920 That's weird because that should be a gimme because those Wesley Snipe Blade movie Snipe's 305 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:38.319 Blade movies were before the MCU started, and they've really kickstarted comic book superhero 306 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.680 movie. Yes, really good. It's saved what we know of as Marvel 307 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.279 today. Even the third one is watchable, no matter what anybody tells you. 308 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:52.319 With Drake. Yeah, well, okay, it's watchable, but it's 309 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.039 not horrible. It's it's a pretty solid evening. If you watch all three 310 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.559 of them. It is, and it also kickstarted a lot of people careers. 311 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.519 People forget that Ryan Reynolds was in the second one. He was in 312 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:06.400 the third one. Wasn't it was the third one. Was in one of 313 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.559 them, yeah, the third one he was Hannibal something or other. Yeah. 314 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:14.559 And also Jessica Biele and others. Yeah. So there are quality movies. 315 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.519 They age pretty well, they hold up over the years. But Marvel 316 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.279 just kind of got away from the stuff which made them successful, and Bob 317 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.400 Iger saying, let's just put out quality as opposed to quantity. It's a 318 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.480 simple answer, but it's the best answer. And I can't wait for Deadpool 319 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:40.759 of Wolverine. The trailers for that are so funny and they're so transgressive based 320 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:45.359 on how controlling we know Disney is. It's it's putting a joke on display 321 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.920 for every It's very self aware, very self aware. And part of the 322 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.880 reason why I think that movie's going to be a hit is because they're allowing 323 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:59.480 Deadpool to be Deadpool. It's not a PG water down version of them. 324 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.559 It's Deadpool, with the exception of the cocaine jokes that he's not allowed to 325 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.200 do right. Right. Have you seen the very latest one where they have 326 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:10.759 a Paul Rudd joke that made me laugh out loud by myself. No, 327 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.480 I refuse to watch. I don't want to be exposed to anymore. I 328 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.200 don't want any more hints or things to look forward to in the movie. 329 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:19.680 I don't want to see anything else. So you don't want you to ruin 330 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.640 it for you? Is that what you're saying? You ruin everything? Just 331 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.759 your beer presence ruins everything. Well, I was having accomplish, I was 332 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.119 having a good day that all of a sudden here comes Mark just gonna rain 333 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.559 on my parade. That's why I love coming to work. I love you 334 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:38.240 too. Later with Mo Kelly k if I AM six forty live everywhere on 335 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:45.200 the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI 336 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.720 AM six forty. Sam Ash Music is where you can get it all. 337 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:56.279 The right instrument at the right price, the sound system and recording equipment to 338 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.079 get you heard. Visit sam Ash to learn about their band support program, 339 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:07.519 clinics and the new backstage club charge card. Sam Ash eighty one years of 340 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.599 making it Happen. Sam Ash in Springdale is located at one one eighth five 341 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:17.599 Commons drive right next to David Busters. KFI six forty is later with mo 342 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:22.799 Kelly. Wait a minute, they use their own commercial to promote David Busters 343 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.839 right next to David Busters. That that seems weird. I know that worked 344 00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.559 out great for David Busters. Like, hey, sam Ash is using us 345 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:36.240 in their commercial. It just seemed like it would have been a bad idea 346 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:40.720 to say, yeah, we're right next to Dave and Busters, right next 347 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.000 to David Busters. But as you can tell that ad is nineteen years old. 348 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.160 They said eighty one years. Well, sam Ash barely made it to 349 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:55.400 one hundred years and they're closing all forty two of their stores, seven of 350 00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:02.079 them here in southern California. And whereas the easy responses, well the economy's 351 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:04.559 going to hell, here's another example. No slow down, slow down. 352 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:12.960 It's sam Ash. It's selling guitars, it's selling electronics equipment that people like 353 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:21.039 me we buy online. Now I'll give you a correlation. I loved Guitar 354 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.519 Center. Loved guitar Center. Most people are familiar with Guitar Center. If 355 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.200 you're not familiar with sam Ash, get the same types of things. You 356 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:34.359 get music instruments, you get all sorts of electronics, even guitar Center. 357 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.839 Even though there's some locations which are still open, they file for bankruptcy in 358 00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:47.640 twenty twenty. It's very difficult for these places to survive in this online economy 359 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.640 world. I used to love radio Shack. If you work in radio, 360 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.160 you probably loved radio Shack at some time. If he needed some headphones or 361 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.359 an adapter, radio Shack was the place to get it. You know what, 362 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.039 I can find everything I want not inside of a radio shack. And 363 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.240 that's not to disrespect radio shack. It's just our economy has changed. If 364 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:18.119 I need an adapter or something, I probably can get it off Amazon and 365 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.319 it'lbeit at my house if not that day, the next day. And the 366 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.000 further upside is I don't have to take time out of my day to drive 367 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:33.240 to some physical location to see if they have something. Sometimes they don't, 368 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.160 and then have to drive back or keep running around town. I just get 369 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.160 it off Amazon, or if I can wait, eBay. There's some things 370 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.559 I still get from eBay. I know, Mark, you probably have some 371 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.920 guitar Center stories. Now. I miss going into radio Shack just to get 372 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:55.519 a chord and then having one having to give the cashier all my personal information, 373 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.440 all of it. It was amazing how I would spend some much time 374 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.559 and money at radio shack for that one of it's usually a Y adapter. 375 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:12.680 It could have been like a female double female quarter inch going to an eighth 376 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.960 inch male or something like that. And it all sounds filthy, by the 377 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.400 way, Well that's how they referred to all of it. That's how you 378 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.599 knew if it was male or female, or what type of cord you want 379 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.400 to you just look, I'm old school, all right, so am I 380 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.319 listen. I like a guy in a white short sleeve shirt and a clip 381 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.920 on tie telling me what plug I need for something. It's not the same 382 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:40.119 going on Amazon. I didn't like it how that guy in that short sleeve 383 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.880 button down shirt and clip on tie wanted to tell me when I walked in 384 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.720 and I said, I know I need this, this is what I do. 385 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.880 Just give me what I asked for. Aren't you sure you don't want 386 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.400 Just give me what I asked for. I need the Y connector to the 387 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:03.039 eighth inch TRRS core. Okay, just give me that the adapter. Just 388 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:04.720 give it to who's wearing the name tag him or you come on now. 389 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.400 Look, Okay, I didn't tell the whole truth. There's nothing about the 390 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:15.079 truth. Okay. Before I worked here at KFI and I was doing karaoke, 391 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.039 trying to keep my you know, radio career, get it off the 392 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:29.400 ground, going through foreclosure. I interviewed at a radio shack and Sam Pedro 393 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.839 we've all had side gigs. Mo, no, no, no, no 394 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.920 no. I didn't get the job. We've all failed to get side gigs. 395 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:42.839 There's a promo and I remember I sat down in the interview and he 396 00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.240 looked at me. It's like, dude, you're way too old to be 397 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.880 wanted to work here at radio shack. Oh that's agism. I hope you 398 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.599 sued the pants off. He didn't say it, but I could tell the 399 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.440 look in his eye he was an agist. I was so angry that I 400 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:02.160 never even got a call back. I could not even get a callback to 401 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.079 a freaking job at radio shack. And I swore then I would never shop 402 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.039 at radio shack again. It looks like you got your revenge, and I 403 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.640 am so petty. I checked up on that store and celebrated when it finally 404 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.680 closed. You look up the guy and do a doughnut on his front line, 405 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:25.559 and I don't remember his name. I just remember that the guy didn't 406 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.839 really even pay any attention to me in the interviews. He was distracted, 407 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:32.359 as you can tell when the person has already made the decision that you're not 408 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.519 getting the job and you're just wasted an extra fifteen minutes, maybe to just 409 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:40.799 assuage your conscience and make you feel like it was worth the drive when it 410 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.960 really wasn't. Yeah, you're bringing back some memories with that. I don't 411 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.440 hope the guy's like homeless or anything right now. I just wanted that radio 412 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.200 shack to go out of business, and it did you hope that he reached 413 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.720 such a low point that he hanged himself in his garage on one of his 414 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:01.720 damn Radio Shack chords. Wow, you're really more of the dark. I 415 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.440 just wanted to store to close. I don't want him to like lose his 416 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.359 life or anything, if you say so. But you've got a real vindictive 417 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:14.920 streak. I'm petty. I'm petty Crocker. Yes, I'm petty Pentograss. 418 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.440 I am petty as they can be. If you turn me down when I 419 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.440 asked you out on a date, back in sixth grade. I still remember 420 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.440 to this day, and I hold it against you. I mount all of 421 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.720 my grievances. I bronze them. I put him on the mantle and I 422 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:36.240 look. I was that guy who actually took every letter of rejection from a 423 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.440 job that I would get, and I would post him on the wall as 424 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:43.960 constant reminders. That's just how I am every single job. I don't do 425 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:50.000 it anymore, but I always remember rejection as motivation, kind of like the 426 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.440 Travis Bickle of AM talk radio. Aren't you can you give me just a 427 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.640 little bit better than Travis, just a little bit better? See he's even 428 00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:02.359 complaining about that. You can't please the guy. No you can't. I'm 429 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:08.599 always unsatisfied and dissatisfied. Radio Shack. We were supposed to talk about sam 430 00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:13.440 Ash. The bottom line is the clothes. They've gone out of business. 431 00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.119 I forgot. I was like, wait, we got drifted out there. 432 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.119 All I know is when you are marketing your store right next to Dave and 433 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:25.599 Busters, you're doing something wrong.

Do you have to say no, We're that little building that you 437 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:43.599 never go into. Buster. We were in close proximity to the place you 438 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:47.279 really want to go, right next to David Busters. Not anymore.
