This is a down meat on ninety seven one, the freak fuel, Give
me fire, give me a Reba McIntyre. I remember read all. So
we got a lot of stuff coming up later in the week, too clean.
Some news that does involve our Saturday not live bet. It's something we've
been working on. Kind of an interesting piece of info. Yeah, we're
gonna deliver that to you probably on Friday, now, I uh do I
say we'll take your talkbacks from the iHeartRadio apps the red microphone button. Keep
firing those in, be checking those. Get some of those going in the
nine thirty segment. But right now, what into this because I haven't done
it in a long time. Yo yo yo yo yo, ho ho round
round, Before we get to news on a movie that was nominated for Best
Picture, as those were delivered to us yesterday from JJ once that news hit.
Before we get to news on one that did make it, I want
to play some audio about a movie that didn't make it. And this is
a British fellow recorded his nana watching the movie Saltburn, which, if you
don't know, has three really intriguing scenes of note, one involving a bathtub
where he's watching Barry, the actor Barry Cahegen is watching Jacob Lordie. You
may know him as the guy from Euphoria and Elvis in the New Priscilla movie.
He's watching him in the bathtub manipulate himself. And then Barry goes in
the geese. He's faded the geese. That's a good way to put it.
Yeah, I learned that on the Old Speakeasy. Oh wow, it's
a great term. Rest in peace, Old Speakeasy. And then and then
Barry jumps into the tub afterwards and starts to go towards the draink uh,
the humps the grave and then his dog comes out in a dance scene.
Uh no, no, not ruining the movie. No one's gonna go see
it. Almost watched it yesterday, save yourself an hour and a half.
I'm just like, you're completely taking these scenes out of context. By the
way, yeah no, this is where are The bathroom scene has been all
over social media, but everything goes there's context to it, doesn't matter.
On the dunce floor, here's Nana watching Saltburn. Do you watch thee Do
you watch these by? What's he doing? Will you know what he's doing
without me telling you? But what's he doing? Oh, get it off,
Get it off. People sit and watch all this, get this field
because I don't watch it. Oh no, it's getting for bad. I
can't watch this. No, it's too much. What too much? Just
watch it? It's FeelA. Can you watch this old the time? Good?
God? Am I? She thought that I would have watched all this.
He's wapping it on our mouth. Now shut up. You can go
on for yourself if you think I'm watching this, Okay, Nana's got some
thirty words in her arsenal. I have no doubt that Katie has tried to
book Nana already. Get her on. She for somebody that's really easily offended.
We're not easily offended, but offended by what she's doing, describing that
mouth that has a mouth on her boy cuss twenty nine times in the entire
clip. I didn't play all of it for you. She left at one
point, got up and went to the kitchen, but ended up coming back.
And while she's watching it, she's watching it very intently. Though it's
kind of funny to me. It's like she could have just, you know,
taken it, changed the channel. She kept sitting down and watching it.
So that's kind of been an online trend that's been going virals when people
have been recording themselves watching Saltburn with their parents and recording their reaction or their
grandparents, and it's pretty great. They used to do this with that Two
Girls, One Cup thing back in the day. Describe that I don't know.
I never watched it, to be one, honest, I never watched
it. Really you were the lucky ones. Yeah, I've seen that it
was visceral. Well, if anyone who plans to watch Saltburn with a family
member record them for a please, Yes, Mike, you watched The Holdovers.
It was one of the ten movies nominated for Best Pictures. I couldn't
not once the Best Picture nominees came out yesterday, all ten, I kind
of had a shameful moment where I'm like, I've only seen one of these.
I only saw Barbie. And we may collectively still do some sort of
draw them out of a hat or pick a few to review. I love
doing that every year, and I love that I get exposed to movies that
I probably would think look boring that I don't want to watch. But I
kind of forced myself too some of them are born. Yes, some are
terrible. The Banshees last year was one that you might have wad yeah,
and then we watched it and loved it. I kind of want to watch
that again. And it was good, slow and weird, little slice of
life something yes, something real cool about ambitious, even slow movies, and
I'm fine with So I saw this list of ten and I'm like, whatever,
whatever we decided to do. Fine. But I got home yesterday.
We owe it. We owe it to ourselves and to the art world to
watch them all. We owe to art. So I got home, I
decided it's a no nap day, made myself a little sandwich, and I
decided to knock one out. And I, as I said yesterday, I
was happy that Paul Giamatti got nominated for Best Actor. I'm a big Paul
Giamatti fan. And I'm like, oh, Holdovers. The Holdovers is free
on Peacock, I think, is where I watched it. So I sat
down and knock it out and pretty good. Yeah, it's it's very feel
good movie. It's set in the seventies, and the vibes of all that
is very cool, that looks all nice, and this is gonna sound incredible
when I give you this, because I would kind of say it's Rushmore meets
Whiplash meets a dead poet society, like that's sort of the vibe that we're
going for. But not as good as idiots, not as good as any
of them, not as good as any of them. I mean, it's
just really slow. It's beautiful. I definitely enjoyed it. It's about Paul
Giamatti is a teacher at this illustrious private school for rich kids up way up
in the north somewhere in Massachusetts, and he has to stay over Christmas break
to babysit the kids who can't leave for Christmas break right, and then most
of the kids do leave for Christmas, even the ones that they thought were
gonna stay. One of their dads comes and picks them up, but they
couldn't get in contact with his one guy's parents, so he couldn't leave.
So Paul and this one kid and the cook have to stay there and just
how they interact. And I really don't know if I'm screaming, yes,
you need to go see the holdovers immediately, But it was really kind of
beautiful. Paul Giamatti had this clean, beautiful performance. I don't know if
he's winning because I don't know if he was like exceptional. The one thing
he had was the lazy eye, which I think, you know, when
you watch someone you determine if they're worthy of Best Actor, you always kind
of if there's some sort of ailment or something they're dealing with. I almost
feel like he's getting credit for the lazy eye, which was just a contact
yeah, you know, because every time you look at him, he looks
you can not see it, you know, crazy, Yeah, but I
really enjoyed it. But honestly, the star of the show is the woman,
Divine Joy Randolph, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress. She was
the cook. She was great, She was funny and very real, and
I love how almost I don't know if it started with the Bear where there's
like kind of a realist form of acting that's maybe either having a renaissance or
just being introduced to us. I mean, you know, even when you
watch a movie, they don't speak perfectly, like those nineties TV shows where
the teenage girl just cuts everybody up and every word is perfect. It's like,
that's not really how communication works. And I've been waiting for entertainment to
sort of embrace that as a yeah, like a more realistic way. I
mean, you can't always think of the perfect thing to say that's poignant and
perfectly delivered. And I like how TV shows like The Bear have embraced that,
and she specifically in this movie sort of does that, like some really
natural reactions. And I would give it a B plus. That's not the
grading system. We go. Oh, okay, I will give it out
of five dumplings. Yeah, I'll give it four dumplings. I mean that's
like perfect almost. Yeah, that's a really good review for dumplings. I
don't even have a movie tuns to me, like, you really like this
film, Hello, don't be scared to say that you love it? Two
plus two hours, two hours and eight minutes. I believe we can.
I give it a great dumpling grade and also say, hey, you don't
really have to watch it good because I watched ten minutes and turn it off.
So if you're telling me I ain't got to catch it, well,
it made you sleepy. Everything makes me sleep sea. I think maybe it's
being celebrated more by the Northeastern types because it's relatable to them. And maybe
the rich private school types that do dream of going to Cornell and Brown.
It sounds to me like a movie that has very good performances, probably very
well written, beautifully shot, but nothing you haven't seen before in zero surprises.
Uh. I don't know if that's fair though, because it was.
I admire them having original screenplays and not just churning out I'm not saying explosions
like. It was a quiet, beautiful, real slice of something that didn't
happen. But you know, they they decided to write a script about it's
good. It's good, but maybe a little ordinary. I wouldn't call it
ordinary. I would just call it not. I'm not screaming that you guys
need to go watch this ordinary. It can be very very good and very
well executed, but you didn't walk out of that theater going dude. That
was something that I did not expect. I was really surprised at this.
This this well, there's not a teacher that has to hang out and he's
real curmudgeon, and the kid and him develop a really close relationship, but
it takes a long time. And then seek it's air that they're open up
and about their lives and there's the the whimsical, witty cook that kind of
keeps the whole thing glued together. And the end, everything's great, everybody
goes home. Okay, I get it. Kind of you that's not exciting.
Sounds great, No, I mean I would. It sounds like a
great film to lie on your couch on a Sunday when football is over and
go, hey, I want to watch that. I thought for the first
I was gonna say, Danny, you will love this movie because it's got
that exact vibe that you sort of said. I didn't really laugh, oh
God much at all. And then after the movie ended, I just sat
back. I was doing some on my phone, and then the trailer for
the movie then replayed on the app and it makes it look like a comedy
in the trailer, and it is. It's not a comedy. There's a
lot of dry you know. I will, I will see it. Giamatti
is a free pass for me. Whatever he's in. I will, I
will make my way to it eventually. And I can't wait. Yeah,
I mean, I can't wait. That's the thing is. I want to
see it, but I can't wait. That is Oscar Nominee, The Holdover,
The Holdovers to movies in the works. I want to talk to you
guys about for a second. Number one, I'm making a movie about Lorne
Michaels and it's actually gonna be centered. It's called it's gonna be called SNL
nineteen seventy five. It's a Jason Reightman movie. Okay, the stars are
gonna be Gabriel Labell. He's gonna play Lorne Michaels. I don't know who
he is. No, he is was in something big recently. I knew
this and I wrote it down and just lost it. What was he in?
He was in Gabriel LaBelle was in The Fablements. Cooper Hoffman is going
to play He's gonna play NBC executive Dick Eversol. Cooper Hoffman the son of
Philip Seymour Hoffman. And he was in Licorice Pizza. But this is based
in nineteen seventy five, he said about the early days of Saturday Night Live,
specifically the debut night of Saturday Night Live in nineteen seventy five. So
gabriel LeBell is gonna be playing Young Lord Michael. They're going to have Dick
Eversol, They've got Rachel Sinat has been casted to play as someone in the
movie. I guess his wife at the time, Lorne Michael's wife. So
an SNL movie about nineteen seventy five timed up perfectly with next season being the
fiftieth season. So this is kind of long over, dude, don't you
think like you I'm surprised this hasn't been tackled prior to now. You know,
I think this could open up. I think like a whole thing of
different eras of Saturday Night Live movies that will be made. I mean,
they really haven't made a Blushi movie, which I could see them doing that,
a Chris Farley movie, I think you will see that. Yeah,
what about the when things really kind of exploded for them after what seemed like
a lull was the Eddie Murphy era Eddie murphyerra for sure? I mean he
was nineteen when he was doing that man, and they could do on it
from the cherioh. Terry era. They could the cheerleaders who play Will Ferrell,
who could possibly play Jan Hooks all right, any brunette woman. And
also there's a Michael Jackson movie. Update. Have y'all heard anything about Michael
Jackson movie? No, I haven't tell family member playing him. I've heard
that. Yes, April twenty twenty five Jackson, his nephew Mark Jackson is
playing. It's not even Mark Jackson. Mark Jackson, though, might be
taking over Doc rivers job if Doc Rivers gets the Mama. There goes that
moon walk terrible. Don't laugh at that. I looked at the man in
the mirror. Okay, So they've casted a nine year old for young Michael.
What Oh yeah, bad joke. And then his nephew. Yeah,
I thought you easy. The restraint is really Yeah, his nephew ja'far is
going to be playing old Michael or older Michael, the director said, in
this movie will be called Michael again next April. How do you even make
this film? Don Travolta already did a movie called Michael. He was an
angel, he was an archangel, and it was perfect. It was a
weird movie, man, a strange movie. Why don't they call it Jackson?
Oh? How do you make this film? I mean a biopic on
Michael Jackson in his whole life? Yeah? Oh god, how do you
do? How do you make this movie and tell the real truth without you
know, you can't do it? I can't, but you don't know it.
But how much are they going Are they just gonna kind of just appeal,
just kind of look under the blind a little bit, open the blind
a little bit and the closer real quick and get back to the feel good
stuff. The death, how he died asking for his milk, never Land,
disaster, all of that stuff. I mean, how do you tell
the complete story and not have people walking out of the theater just so confus
because you can't. You can't the animal torture device. What will happen is
this will be a three hour, big epic biopic. They'll touch on little
things. It'll maybe show an image of him with a kid or whatever,
but they'll never expose it completely. They'll never commit to the fact that those
things happened. They won't. They'll they'll shroud the death in mystery and then
it'll take, you know, in ten years, somebody doing an indie film
to have the guts to go in and tell all the terrible stuff and nobody
will see it. I have his nephews in it. They're not gonna go,
which you know says nothing about his music at all, which is effing
brilliant. Yep, Okay, here's the storyline, the official storyline of it,
from his childhood of being the star of the Jackson Five, through times
of abuse by his father Joe Jackson, to his hit thriller, to his
hit thriller and the purchase of Neverland Valley into his tragic and unsuspected death of
June twenty fifty. This is the whole thing. They will, They will
one hundred percent screw this up. Directed by you. I'll bet one hundred
million trillion things. Antoine was training day, writing day. Yes, sir,
go back and watch that the equalizing That's great. What okay, I've
watched it recently. That is some of the most overwrought dialogue you will ever
see in a right. It is incredibly annoying. There there are parts where
you just go, now, whatn't happen like that when he tells the guy
what he's gonna do to his But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I play audio. And then we're gonna tease something coming up, big news
for Netflix, and we might be table talking a big show bet type thing
based on something that happens on Saturday. We'll play this. I don't love
Jimmy fallon Jimmy Fowen's dressed up, he's got a beard on. He's did
something like the seventies with a with a rock band. And they're at the
subway in New York and they're cutting doing a cover. They're busking at the
subway. Have you seen this? Nope? All right now the way it's
cut, I don't know, man, do people know? I don't know
if people knew, But this is what happens when they in the song okay,
and then the crowd they looked so funny. They got long wigs and
beards and mustaches. They look like, I don't know, like the older
brothers or something. And here's when they tell you who the actual band is
and that it's actually Jimmy Fallon, and the crowd did seem shocked at least
in the in the video, this is Green Day. They have anue album
this Friday, but they're gonna play a class for right now Green Day,
Ladies and gentlemen, do you at the time to lesson to be wide well
about nothing in everything at once? It's just cool because the crowd they're singing
along. The crowd gathered because they're playing bad companies feel like making love and
they look absurd, So it's gonna generate a crowd, and I'm sure you
can. I don't know how I want to believe it's ripped the beard off
when Yeah, he introduced himself, it's me Jimmy Fallen and you're the band
is Green Day, and they take their beards off, and then it's fun.
If that's real, it's very it's probably people there pick up this is
something. Yeah. I love videos like that, but they were unrecognizable,
like when you look at Get Tell it's Jimmy Fallon and Green Day, Like
the time when Jewel like put on a fat suit and all this like prosthetics
and went to a karaoke bar and sang Jewel Do you remember that video?
Uh? No, he looked really disinterested in the fact that I even brought
it up a joke of someone else who wore a different suit over them their
body. Then I couldn't think of it. So no. But she went
up on stage and she's got it's unrecognizable and people in real mousey and librarian
like and walks up and does who Will Save Your Soul? Or what that
song? Oh? And people are like, what the hell? And then
she rips off her things like, yeah, it's me. That's why it's
so good. It was cool. Yeah. Well, coming up next,
we have your talkbacks from the red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app. Plus,
is Netflix trying to take over all of TV? We have our first
sign of that next on ninety seven, one of the first
