00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.880
Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. By
Hollywood, you mean Burbank, across the

2
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.519
street from a Wienerschnitzel that sells beer. This is two hours of the business

3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:23.679
end of show Business, every Sunday
from five to seven pm on KiB that's

4
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.519
eleven fifty on your radio dial in
Los Angeles, or you can hear it

5
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:33.719
around the world live on iHeart Radio. You can hear the podcast later on

6
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.320
your Apple or Stitcher or whatever you
listen to your podcasts on. Okay,

7
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.399
so we're gonna start with the movies. I went to the movies a couple

8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.600
times. We'll talk about the box
office, and then we'll see what I

9
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.560
saw. Maybe you want to see
it, maybe you can avoid it.

10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.719
The biggest movie right now is Fast
X. Now this is part of the

11
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.280
Fast and Furious franchise, but now
it's starting to blend in together with the

12
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.359
Triple X franchise that started with Vin
Diesel. This still has Vin Diesel.

13
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.840
We like Vin Diesels, nothing wrong
with him, but it's just starting to

14
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.000
blend together. As you know,
Bro films not for me, but you

15
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.599
know that's if it's for you,
go see it. I probably won't see

16
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:19.719
it, you know. Sometimes I
want to see what This is the most

17
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.760
popular movie in the country right now, so I'd better see it. But

18
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.239
I don't know. I don't think
I can bring myself to do it.

19
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.959
I went to the movies tonight and
someone was sitting in my seat. Because

20
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.159
if you go to movies as much
as I do, pretty soon that's going

21
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.640
to happen. Always happens on a
weekend when the amateurs come out. So

22
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.359
two people sitting in my seat.
I go, and so I told him,

23
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.040
I go, look, you're sitting
in my seat. I'm gonna sit

24
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.200
somewhere else, just letting you know. You're sitting in my seat. And

25
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.359
so lady and her son and the
sun goes, no, these are I'm

26
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.519
indeed, we're D one in D
two. These are our seats. And

27
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.879
I go, okay, fine,
he goes, Hey, the whole theater

28
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.879
is open, you know, is
it really? Even though there's a lot

29
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.719
of empty seats, if you go
sit in one that you can be cool.

30
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.639
And I was being cool. I'm
gonna go sit in someone else's seat

31
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.719
now when they come, then I
got to get out of their seat.

32
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.919
Then I'm this grounge, or maybe
I just get stabbed. You know,

33
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.080
you don't know what you're gonna get, but you're not gonna get stabbed in

34
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.280
Huntington Beach. Um. But still, But that's why I know I'm not

35
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.120
getting stabbed at Huntington Beach. So
I'm gonna go sit and possibly someone else's

36
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.639
seats again, I'll stabbed in the
face with a soddering eye. I think

37
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.520
the mom was suspicious because I go
sit in the back row. The mom

38
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.520
comes up and the mom shows me
your ticket and she goes, if you

39
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.599
want to see these tickets. You
know you can see that they're that they're

40
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.159
D one and D two. So
I look at it with my phone flashlight.

41
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.759
You know what, lady, you're
in the wrong theater were supposed to

42
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.159
see. This theater is for the
seven twenty five showing of The Master Gardener.

43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.759
Your tickets are for the seven pm
showing of Fast X. Okay,

44
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.639
so these people were sitting there,
it's seven forty five by this time.

45
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.919
They're sitting in that theater for forty
five minutes waiting for a bunch of race

46
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.319
cars to start, and all they're
seeing is like indie movie trailers. Because

47
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.960
it's a Paul Schraider film. And
that's the kind of people that go see

48
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.159
Fast X. Is this is what
you're gonna be on a Saturday night.

49
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.960
It's amateur, it's open mic night. They're waiting for a movie for forty

50
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.560
five minutes. They're waiting for Fast
X. This is the kind of people

51
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.520
that go see Fast X on a
Saturday night. You want to avoid them.

52
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.439
I tried. He didn't work.
So she goes back down. She

53
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.800
tells her son, I even said
it out loud, don't look like Paul

54
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:46.639
Schraider fans, because I couldn't help
myself. The kid gets up and he

55
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.879
leaves, and I go, oh, he left, Okay, maybe I

56
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.240
should go sit in my old seat. And I walk up, but I

57
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.000
didn't see the lady leave. I
must have missed that. So I waited

58
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.000
a little while. I'm like,
okay, i've waited long enough. I'm

59
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000
gonna go sit in my seats.
I walked down there. The guy comes

60
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.319
back in the theater. He's walking
up to me and he's apologizing, Oh,

61
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.360
I'm so sorry, these aren't my
seats. Yeah, I know they're

62
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.960
not your seats. Yeah, I'm
so sorry. I'm so sorry. And

63
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.599
then as mom gets up because she
was still sitting there and they leave,

64
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:21.439
so settling in. Five minutes later, who comes back but wrong seat guy?

65
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.040
Hey, um, yeah, I
got And you know how kids like

66
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:33.680
that mumble stupid kids will go see
Fast X mumble living with a six year

67
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.720
old. So he's mumbling something to
me, and in my mind, I'm

68
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.759
going, let me guess he left
your vape pen here? And you be

69
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.160
and I get my Even though I
can't understand what he says, I kind

70
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.800
of know what else is he doing
back here? So I m took my

71
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.680
flashlight again. By this time,
I have to bring my flashlight out two

72
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:04.439
times to see this movie. And
I look in the drink container and there's

73
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.000
a vape pen. I go,
here's your vape pen. Bye? Man?

74
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.279
His poor mom, poor mom.
I mean, she's so nice she's

75
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.959
taking him to see Fast X.
But you know what, struggle is real.

76
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.519
And there's like artificial sweetener packages all
over. Both seats are just everywhere

77
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.800
anyway, the movies. That's a
painting, a bad picture of a movie

78
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.199
experience. It turned out fine,
and it's kind of funny. It's not

79
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.040
gonna happen to you if you go
to the movies. But you know what

80
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.959
I recommend go to the movies during
the week. I want to avoid it

81
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.079
on the weekends. It's like surfing. Let's just do it. During the

82
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.160
week, it's like skiing. Do
it during the week. It's like church.

83
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.560
You got to go to church on
Sunday. But the people in there,

84
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.959
it's like it's it's it's just different
experience than going during the week.

85
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.120
During the week, everybody's serious.
During the week, everybody's serious at the

86
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:11.199
ski slopes, out surfing, at
the movie theater and again Sunday crowd.

87
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.279
Wow, you got to go,
but you're there with you know. Let's

88
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:23.199
go to my movies that I saw
and my letterboxed account. I had someone

89
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.800
ask again, what is this movie
online movie thing that you keep talking about.

90
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:32.040
It's letterboxed L E T T E
R B O x D. There

91
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:38.000
is no e at the end of
letterboxed Gardner, Let's go to fools Paradise.

92
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.759
I saw Fools Paradise. This was
an interesting choice. This is kind

93
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.959
of the movie I go see when
my wife's tired and I go by myself.

94
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.800
I kind of looked from a movie
that she's not going to be jealous

95
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.240
that I saw without her, and
I looked at this one and I go,

96
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.800
you know what, no one's gonna
be jealous. Got a five point

97
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:59.639
four rating on IMDb. And it
is a film directed by Charlie Day,

98
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.040
starring Charlie Day and Ken Jong.
Charlie Days one of the creators executive producers

99
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.399
of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
So you know, he's funny. So

100
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.680
this movie is about a guy and
it's it's more of this, like it's

101
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.720
hard for me to to believe these
movies get made. But this guy,

102
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.959
I guess, is beloved and he
has a lot of stars. And at

103
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:27.800
ray Leoda, we thought Grizzly Shark
Bear or whatever, Cocaine Bear, we

104
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.920
thought that was ray Leoda's last movie. Well he's got another one. Why

105
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.240
did you do that? He's doing
better now than when he was alive.

106
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.000
Jason Sudeikis is in it. Kate
Beckinsall is really good in it. Adrian

107
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.279
Brody's really good in at Jason Bateman's
only in for a little bit, he's

108
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.680
really good. Edie Falco. You
know, there's there's a lot of people

109
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.160
in here. Common the Rapper,
he's in it. Um but Ken Jong

110
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.120
is it's worth seeing with Ken Jong
now it only got five point four rating

111
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:59.279
at n IMDb. It only got
two point five rating on Letterbox. But

112
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.319
there's enough ken Jong in it.
To see this movie, it probably you're

113
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.279
better off watching it streaming. There's
enough ken Jong's just it's just really funny

114
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.079
when this guy he's down on his
luck. He's a down on his luck

115
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:22.959
Hollywood publicist. Because this guy that
can't talk and as is a dead ringer

116
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.279
for some Hollywood star that's acting misbehaving
on the set, so they're gonna put

117
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.799
him. This this homeless person basically
who was a mental patient that got dropped

118
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.159
off in downtown Los Angeles. They
put him in the movies and he becomes

119
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:45.440
a sensation, kind of like Chauncey
Gardner in that Peter Seller's movie. I

120
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.279
like to watch TV. Everybody whatever
you want this to be, this guy

121
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.399
to be, that's what he is, and that doesn't work really after a

122
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.480
while. But ken Jong is so
good and everything else, it's worth seeing

123
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.519
if it comes up streaming. Before
we talk about the other films I saw,

124
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.600
let's take a break. Check the
traffic. Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood.

125
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:31.159
Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. Hey, this is the business end of

126
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.679
Show Business, two hours of it. You're right in the middle of it,

127
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:43.360
just joining us. We're talking about
the movies that are playing in the

128
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.039
theaters right now, the ones I
saw that, maybe you want to see.

129
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.279
I saw Fools Paradise. I don't
think it's in the theaters anymore,

130
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:58.200
but you might want to watch it
streaming Fools Paradise. Now, I thought

131
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.879
the theater last night, I saw, uh The Master Gardner. Now you

132
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.399
may not have heard of The Master
Gardner, but The Master Gardner is directed

133
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.559
by Paul Schrader. Now, Paul
Schrader, when he makes a movie,

134
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.519
you know you might want to go
see it. Paul Schrader wrote the movie

135
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.519
Taxi Driver, Are you talking to
Me? He wrote, You're talking to

136
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:28.120
me? Raging bull. Some people
call that the best film ever made.

137
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:39.279
Mishima Cat people. Did I mention
American Gigglow? Yeah? Rolling Thunder?

138
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.080
You know who doesn't like a good
Vietnam movie with William Devane now Selling Gold.

139
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.159
I go see any movie Paul Shrader
makes, and there's some very interesting

140
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.399
I think the probably the best way
for me to sum this movie up is

141
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.799
to read you directly my review.
It's not really review. It's just when

142
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.480
I put something on letterbox, it's
really just remind me that, hey,

143
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:11.919
Joe, you've got you know,
after your adult onset Alzheimer's. I have

144
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.759
a place to go to to see
what these movies are about that I saw,

145
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.440
because I have trouble remembering what movies
were about, like the minute I

146
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.200
get out of the theater. So
what I wrote to myself on this Master

147
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:30.000
Gardner. This film is about a
reformed white supremacist. It's brave in many

148
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.200
ways, but there's a lot of
weird choices as well that distract you from

149
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.639
thinking it might be a great film. You're watching this movie and you're like,

150
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.320
am I watching a great film?
There's a lot of weird stuff going

151
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.759
in here. I wouldn't have done
that? Who let this guy do that?

152
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.519
Or that? You know, it's
one of these you start thinking,

153
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.320
this guy's so revered that he doesn't
get a lot of notes from the studio

154
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.639
and they kind of let him get
away with things. But then it's so

155
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.000
unique. You're going, this is
a brave, great film. Then you're

156
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.679
like, oh, that was stupid. Then you're like, no, that

157
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.679
was great. So anyway we're seeing
I gave it three and a half stars

158
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.440
in my letterbox out of five.
Now, I tend to think, if

159
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.360
you're making your villains Nazis, it's
like cheating. Isn't there some other more

160
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.159
complicated character trait that we can think
of rather than this one? Like,

161
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.200
well, the villain he's a Nazi, and in this case it's contemporary times.

162
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.840
It's so he's a white supremacist assist
in a white supremacist gang. And

163
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.720
you know, I don't know,
I'm just I'm it's wearing thin on me

164
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.080
that that's what you have to do? Will this guy? Everybody hates this

165
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.120
guy, he's a Nazi? Can
we can't we do better than this?

166
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.919
Like when they did this? This
is the kind of stuff that worked in

167
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.440
like the Blues Brothers. It's cartoon
things. Well, we need cartoon villains.

168
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.159
What about Nazis? Yeah, but
it's nineteen seventies Illinois Nazis. Okay,

169
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:09.240
I hate Illinois Nazis hilarious. Henry
Gibson as the Illinois Nats is hilarious.

170
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.519
Anyway, I would go see The
Master Gardener if I were you.

171
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.480
The star is Joel Edgerton. You
might remember him from episode three of the

172
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:26.200
Revenge of the Sith or The Great
Gatsby, Zero Dark thirty, very good

173
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.080
actor. I saw what else,
he says streaming. I saw a movie

174
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.080
speaking of Hitler, Hitler a Career. It's on Netflix. It pops up

175
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.720
on your thing. They're like,
hey, it looks like you like Hitler.

176
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.320
No, I hate Hitler. Yeah, but you certainly watch a lot

177
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:45.039
of Hitler stuff. So we got
Hitler in your q M. Jeez,

178
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.840
what do I have to do?
Okay, Hitler career is good. It's

179
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.519
made in the seventies. It's a
documentary. Um, so you got like

180
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:58.039
two hours of of the story of
Hitler's career written. You know, it's

181
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.080
not long after World War Two is
over, so it's it's an interesting perspective.

182
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.519
A lot of footage. The guy
was such a narcissist. He's just

183
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.799
like cameras everywhere, aimed at himself. I think there was something wrong with

184
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.600
this guy. Okay, that's the
movies I saw this weekend. That's the

185
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:20.200
movies other people saw this week.
Let's head to the stories. Last week,

186
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.559
I think I talked too much about
the strike. The strike is very

187
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.480
boring. I'll talk very little bit
about it today. There's one interesting thing,

188
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.480
you know, one of the fights
is AI. They don't want to

189
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.799
allow artificial intelligence in there. So
there's a big now that there's such a

190
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.559
backlash against AI. AI is evil, It's going to destroy the world.

191
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.879
AI is so bad for movies,
So it's how could how dare could anybody

192
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.000
use AI? And then alone behold
one of the committee members of the WGA,

193
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.080
it turns out, is invested in
AI. The guy's name is John

194
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:05.960
August, and he has an investment
in some artificial intelligence writing tool. So,

195
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.759
you know, you paint yourself in
a corner with these kind of demands

196
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.759
like that is EVO, that AI, and you're like, hey, guys,

197
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.200
you know m Yeah, it's kind
of interesting and I'm kind of,

198
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.720
you know, very ahead of my
time, and I invested in it and

199
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.679
I'm going to get rich. So
can everyone just kind of on the AI

200
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.919
thing? Do we really want to
really make a big deal out of it?

201
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.039
Anyways? John August, the only
thing you know about him is he

202
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.840
wrote the movie A Big Fish,
And that's one of the only movies I

203
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.440
can remember ever walking out of.
Let's see if I can remember my walkout

204
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.600
movies. I should have a list
of movies I walked out of I should

205
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.279
I'm gonna put that. I'm gonna
make a letterbox list. You can make

206
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:46.240
lists. There's a list on there
of movies that have vandals music in it.

207
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.279
Now I'll make one of the movies
I walked out with the commitments I

208
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.960
walked out from. I walked out
of the commitments. I walked out of

209
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.360
something recently, the fablements, movies
are dreams, and I walked out of

210
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:08.440
Big Fish directed by a Sleep at
the Wheel Tim Burton. Now I just

211
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.639
and I'm coming off of Edward scissor
Hands at that moment, one of the

212
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.240
greatest films ever, Edward scissor Hands
ages so well. If you haven't seen

213
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:23.120
it recently, goes watch Edward scissor
Hands this week. It's just wonderful.

214
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.879
Anyway, John August wrote one of
the movies I walked out of so he

215
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.639
could use some AI. I'm gonna
give him a benefit of the doubt.

216
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.320
He needs AI to write better movies. That's all I'm going to say about

217
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.519
the strike. But I will say
something about how the strike is affecting the

218
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:45.360
business, because we're starting to learn
a little bit of that. Greg Berlante,

219
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:52.720
this is an example. Greg Berlante
had twenty shows like on the air

220
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.200
a couple of years ago and this
year at the upfronts. Right now they're

221
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.200
having the upfronts. The up runts
are where traditionally the networks. I can

222
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.559
explain it best by how it used
to be CBS, ABCNBC and Fox would

223
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:15.000
go to New York and show all
their programs to who the advertisers, the

224
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.119
Chlorox people. So they do that
in New York because that's where they you

225
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.000
know, you watch Madman, That's
where the ad people are. So they

226
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.599
bring their dogged pony shows to New
York. They show everybody, look at

227
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.319
our great shows we're going to have
this fall. They're having that. Now

228
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.079
it's getting a little, you know, weirder because TV's changing. I guess

229
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:37.160
Berlante has just five scripted shows either
on or officially greenlit as of this week's

230
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.240
up fronts. Greg Berlante makes shows
like Dawson's Creek and Riverdale, but tons

231
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.880
of others, some super Bowl superhero
stuff. But now he's only got five.

232
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.880
So people are saying, look,
what's happening. The strike is affecting

233
00:17:51.599 --> 00:18:00.160
the content that's out there. And
ABCTV at the upfronts didn't put any new

234
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.079
scripted shows them there and there fall
schedule. They just got all reality stuff,

235
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:10.079
so you'll notice it here and there. One last thing we'll say before

236
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.519
we take a break, Well,
this is bad celebrities. Let's let's take

237
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.839
a break and we'll talk about bad
celebrities. Our celebrities behaving badly. Next

238
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:29.440
segment, Joe's Scalante Live from Hollywood. Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. We

239
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.480
are back two hours at the business
end of the show business every Sunday here

240
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.640
on kibat eleven fifty. The podcasts
get made later tonight. Want to listen

241
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.680
to the whole thing, and remember
you can listen to it live all over

242
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.759
the world on iHeart Radio. Celebrities
behaving Badly. We promised a little bit

243
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:53.240
of this, so there's usually a
lot of it every week. One of

244
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:59.440
them is Brett Rattner. Remember him. I guess you could call him disgraced.

245
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.559
He was accused of a lot of
sexual abuse by multiple women, and

246
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:10.920
he keeps running for board of governors
for the Motion Picture Academy. Very strange

247
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.839
behavior. No one's going to let
him on that board. I mean they're

248
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.200
trying to forget about him. You
know, they want him to go away.

249
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.359
He's not going away. It's just
not going to happen. But he

250
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.160
keeps doing I get it. He
has a dream. He was a producer.

251
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.240
He was you know, things got
really slimy in his world, but

252
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.359
he had a dream. He wanted
to be, you know, a big

253
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.680
deal in Hollywood movies. He like
had I think he had like Frank Sinatra's

254
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.359
old office. His company's called the
Brat Pack or something like that. I

255
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.359
don't know, U. This is
a fourth time he's done this. So

256
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.880
very strange. Here's when here's this
guy. I mean, this guy's not

257
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.319
really necessarily behaving badly Nick Cannon.
Do you know he has eleven kids,

258
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.279
six different women. I mean,
that's bad behavior. But it makes one

259
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.799
hundred million a year. So he
spreads that money out as an article in

260
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.799
the La Times about how much money
he spends on like kid's birthdays and all

261
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.960
that kind of stuff. I don't
know, I don't think anyone's really complaining

262
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.519
in that world with one hundred million
dollars a year to float around. You

263
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.359
know. Nick Cannon is the host
of The Masked Singer and Everything Else in

264
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.160
the World. Was married to Mariah
Carey for a while. He has one

265
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.559
of those kids is for Mariah Carey. The logistics is what gets me.

266
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.039
I mean, how do you even
pull that off? How do you?

267
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:38.480
How did you do much fooling around? That's just and then now you got

268
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:45.359
to keep it up. Who but
you know what, this man is populating

269
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.599
the earth, So that's good.
Well, I guess I got no celebrities

270
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.960
behaving baddly other than those guys.
But I do have this Vice Media,

271
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.920
the Vice channel, remember, and
Vice magazine came out and the Vice Keep

272
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.759
magazine. It was super cool and
then they built a media empire. Well

273
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:10.240
it has declared bankruptcy and it's being
sold off. So I mean, to

274
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.880
me, I saw this coming right
away. People investing in it. Disney

275
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:21.720
was investing in it. And the
TV show on HBO to me, wasn't

276
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.359
any good. It's not a real
news organization. It was just kind of

277
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.640
we're super cool and snarky and we
are the gatekeepers to a bunch of ad

278
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.559
revenue. So everyone just started giving
them money. And then they put out

279
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.039
this cable channel and it was all
for hipsters that don't have cable. So

280
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.000
I'm just watching this going, why
are you putting money into a channel that

281
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.039
is clearly geared towards people who do
not have cable will never get cable.

282
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:59.400
So that cable channel lost millions,
maybe billions, and the company was valued

283
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.640
at like five point seven billion at
one point, and now they're just being

284
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:11.440
sold off in Chapter eleven bankruptcy.
They've got debts totaling four hundred and seventy

285
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.319
five million in security creditors. So
that's over. I hope everyone finds a

286
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.839
job, and I hope they learn
that you can't be too cool. If

287
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:27.720
you're too cool, you'll do anything, you're gonna lose money. I think

288
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.799
one of the things I noticed when
I when I noticed something was wrong with

289
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.000
this, the HBO thing could have
survived. I mean that's hipsters have HBO,

290
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.160
or they steal their parents passwords or
whatever. But they would go like

291
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:48.640
like sixty minutes sixty minutes interviews like
it. Maybe maybe the interview is chic,

292
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.359
and then they say asking a bunch
of questions and then he says much

293
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.599
of stuff. Then they interview someone
else who's against that cheek. I'm just

294
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.960
using a SIK as an example.
An exotic, faraway interview that the news

295
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.559
you know, that you have to
be a really serious news agency to go

296
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:11.240
and get this interview. So I
use a chic. The chik is then

297
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.640
confronted with the stuff that the enemy
of the chik said, and then they

298
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:21.680
get the zingers aha, and then
the chik gets up at it and walks

299
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.240
out of the interview. No one
ever walked out of a Vice interview,

300
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.480
my guess, because they would they'd
always go to some exotic place and interview

301
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.680
those people and just believe whatever they
said. They would never do the extra

302
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.799
part where you do a bunch of
research, get the other side, confront

303
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.599
them with it, and try to
get a gotcha moment of some kind.

304
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.079
So that was the first thing that
jumped out at me, and then I

305
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.319
never was impressed after that. But
again, I hope everybody there gets a

306
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.960
job. Jane Smith is going to
get a job. He's going to be

307
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.279
fine, and he's a compelling figure
on camera too. He's like the voice

308
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:06.000
of Vice. But our ip here's
some more TV news. There's a guy

309
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:14.640
that co founded Pluto. Pluto is
a service like a streaming service that has

310
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:22.799
all kinds of channels and all kinds
of content. So this guy Eli opposing

311
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.559
has now a new company where he
gives away fifty five in four KTV sets

312
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.960
for free. It's gonna give him
to you. Sign up and you're gonna

313
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.720
get a free TV from this guy. Why because these TVs are manufactured in

314
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.920
a way where there's a there's a
bottom stripe on him that has ads constantly,

315
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.839
So you're gonna get a free TV. But you've got to look at

316
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.559
this ads. These ads constantly,
they never turn off, So at some

317
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.240
point you're gonna have ads on the
screen, the regular part of the screen

318
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.920
and underneath and you're gonna have ads, ads ads. His initial batches five

319
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:59.680
hundred thousand sets. Like maybe if
you had like a facility where you needed

320
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.839
twenty TV's, maybe that'd be worth
it. But to me, TVs are

321
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.400
so cheap, now, why why
would you do that to yourself? For

322
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.079
three hundred dollars, you can get
a good TV. So for three hundred

323
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.720
dollars, I mean, to save
three hundred dollars, you're gonna have those

324
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.000
ads all the time. It's just
offensive to me to like, like,

325
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.240
if you went into someone's house,
oh, here's our TV set, have

326
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.880
fun watching ads all the time.
That's just gross. So even though I

327
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:40.160
believe this guy could make money by
selling ads and that thing. I don't

328
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.519
know just I mean, he's doing
it at a time when TVs are the

329
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.000
only reason he's doing it is because
he's getting these TVs for nothing. Okay,

330
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.440
but TV's so if TV's if a
new TV, that's pretty damn good.

331
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.359
It's three hundred dollars, you know, going off or up and buying

332
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.319
for one hundred dollars. I'm not
going to say there's not some poor,

333
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.720
unfortunate person has no money, so
they're gonna have to endure this. But

334
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.480
if they have no money, if
they cannot buy one hundred dollar TV,

335
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.839
they have other problems then watching TV. There, I said, it does

336
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:17.720
that sound judgmental? I'm not trying
to be. But this is a business

337
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.599
show. This guy's got a business
and I'm I'm talking about it. Have

338
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:26.440
you seen these Beetlejuice posters and flyers
around with It's like, you know,

339
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:33.200
dreamcast for the New Beatles Juice Beetlejuice
too floating And I originally said that's a

340
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:44.559
hoax, that's not true. Jenna
Ortega a little too obvious. So CNN

341
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:49.279
is reporting that Warner Brothers told them
that Beetlejuice Too is set to be released

342
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:55.400
September twenty twenty four. I still
don't believe it. I'm just gonna go

343
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.240
on record, I don't believe it. But they are confirming that the poster

344
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:06.440
you see on online is not real. So they did say that one was

345
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:15.920
coming out in twenty thirteen. I
think yep. Both Tim Burton and Michael

346
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.200
Keaton said something's coming out in twenty
thirteen. That was ten years ago.

347
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:26.000
Um, okay, So we'll see
what other hoaxes we been on the internet

348
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:30.359
recently. The reason why now I
think everything on Instagram is hoax. Club

349
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:37.640
thirty three now open to the public. It's a mouse trap magazine. Online

350
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.079
people keep sending me things open to
the public, open to the public.

351
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:47.680
Really, that's not true. It's
a hoax. Joe Scwant Live from Hollywood.

352
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.079
When we come back, we're gonna
talk about Taco Bell and Taco Tuesday

353
00:27:51.119 --> 00:28:19.480
and a little intellectual property. Joe
lay you don't want we are back,

354
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:26.960
Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. Let's
go to the intellectual property department. There

355
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:32.599
is a trademark phrase called Taco Tuesday. You would think Taco Tuesday. How

356
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.240
can you trademark that, well,
you probably shouldn't be, But the trademark

357
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.720
office gives all kinds of trademarks that
they shouldn't be giving out, and they

358
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.799
gave one to this restaurant for their
promotions of Taco Tuesday. That to me

359
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.039
that one. If I'm the trademark
examiner. There's the lawyers that sit there

360
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.680
in the trademark office and they decide
any should we grant this one, because

361
00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.000
what they want to do with the
trademark is you want to prevent other people

362
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.519
from buying the wrong product. It's
kind of basically what we're doing. We

363
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:11.839
society has decided if you make something
and it's in and out burger, and

364
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:17.799
you can trademark that. Now,
your trademark is for making these burgers.

365
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:19.880
They're called in and out burgers.
You go, you put a sign on

366
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.720
front of your building and it says
in and out Burger, and people go

367
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:29.920
there and they get the burgers and
they think they're tasty. So we're going

368
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.920
to give you that trademarks are the
only one can call it your burgers in

369
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.599
and out burgers. Now, if
someone else makes an in and out burger

370
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:42.039
and it's terrible or maybe even poisonous
that could harm the consumer. So trademarks,

371
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.839
unlike copyrights. Copyrights are more to
protect the creator. Trademarks are to

372
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:59.599
protect the consumer from some kind of
false designation of origin. A confusion in

373
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.640
the market place is what the term
of art is. So someone gave Taco

374
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:10.359
John's a trademark in Taco Tuesday.
Now, why should Taco john have a

375
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.559
trademark in Taco Tuesday? Like what
does that do to protect the consumer?

376
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.400
Like, Oh, these Taco Tuesdays, I don't want to go to Taco

377
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.519
Bell because if they have a taco
What if I go to Taco Bell and

378
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.559
I get a Taco Tuesday and I
think it's Taco John's. There's no confusion

379
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.920
in the marketplace. It's such a
generic term. It's just alliterative Taco Tuesday.

380
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.519
It's just not creative. It's just
it is what it is. It's

381
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:40.400
Tuesday, and you're gonna have tacos
now because it's alliterative with the same ta

382
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.839
on both words. Someone said,
okay, well then that's the day we're

383
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.079
going to give deals on tacos.
So I don't think the Trademark Office should

384
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:56.440
have given this trademark, but they
did so Now, what happens if Taco

385
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.559
Bell. Now, if you're saying
Joe Taco Tuesday things all the time,

386
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.599
they're everywhere. Yeah, but John's
is not going to go after like a

387
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:11.160
little restaurant with Taco Tuesday because they
just they probably didn't even think about it,

388
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.119
and they just are fine with their
Taco Tuesday. And they trademarked because

389
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.359
some lawyer told them to or they
thought they should. But they don't want

390
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.200
to spend their time going after little
restaurants. But if Taco Bell does it,

391
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.160
that is a defendant with deep pockets, and you could go after them

392
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.079
and you could get a settlement that
might be worth more than all the tacos

393
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:33.000
you can make in your entire life. So Taco Bell wants to use Taco

394
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.680
Tuesday, what do they do.
They have to go to the courts because

395
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:41.079
they got to be they can't just
use it like other people can. So

396
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.640
they go to the courts and they
and they get what's called declatory relief.

397
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:47.599
And that's what's going on right now. I believe. I mean, I

398
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:49.079
don't read all these illegal papers,
but I'm pretty sure that's what they're doing.

399
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.640
They file a paper for declatory relief. And it says to the court,

400
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.319
a court, you know what,
this is ridiculous. Taco Tuesday should

401
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.759
not be trademarked, and we want
to take it away from Taco John's so

402
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.839
that not only we can use it, but everybody can use it. And

403
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.640
so Taco Bell has a campaign right
now, they have like a petition at

404
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:14.119
change dot org. You can get
in the get involved, get on board

405
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:22.839
and support Taco Bells selfless campaign to
allow Taco Tuesday to be use by anybody.

406
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.599
Now, their arguments are going to
be in this declatory relief I would

407
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.640
imagine would be in front of the
court, would be we don't think they

408
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.920
should be allowed to have this trademark
because they have not been enforcing it.

409
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:39.200
Now, some trademarks are not enforced
and then the people lose them. The

410
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:43.400
most famous one is the Murphy bed. Whoever invented the Murphy bed, the

411
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.079
bed that comes out of the wall, they did not vigorously protect their mark,

412
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:52.680
and other people started using it and
they lost their rights to prevent other

413
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.119
people from using the Murphy bed.
Now Murphy bed is Murphy bed. That's

414
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.240
the just a generic term because they
didn't fight it. Now, if Taco

415
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.079
John's doesn't fight it, they don't
get to keep it. So if I'm

416
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.000
Taco Bell, I would just say, look, they're not fighting it.

417
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:14.000
Look at everybody. Look at everybody
that is using Taco Tuesday. So I

418
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.319
think Taco Bell would win this in
court. But some people are saying,

419
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.160
you know, why are you trying
to you why are you phrasing it?

420
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:24.240
Like, oh, you're doing like
it's just unfair that anybody should protect that

421
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.839
name. Everybody should be allowed to
use it. Meanwhile, they're trademarking the

422
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.640
term fourth meal. Should everybody be
allowed to do that? They'll say no,

423
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.119
no, no, we trademark that. So we'll see how that goes.

424
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.000
You can sign the petition change dot
org if you're if you're that into

425
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:46.119
it now, Taco Tuesday is an
interesting thing to me because everybody's, you

426
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.039
know, have these deals on Taco
Tuesday. But to me, tacos aren't

427
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.559
so expensive we have to worry about
I got to save a couple of nickels

428
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:59.599
on this taco. I'm only gonna
eat it on Tuesdays. But people are

429
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:07.799
so into it they demand lower taco
prices on Tuesdays. The restaurant in Hawaiian

430
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:12.880
Gardens that I go to a lot
called Taco Sampedro. They're closed on Tuesday.

431
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.000
And then when I inquired around about
why they're enclosed on Tuesday, the

432
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:23.320
word I got was because people are
obnoxious at taco restaurants on Tuesdays. They

433
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:29.760
demand unreasonable bargains and Taco Sampedro doesn't
have to give these. Taco Sampedro always

434
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:35.239
has a line they don't have to
give away their tacos on Tuesdays, so

435
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.199
they just close the tok They just
close their restaurant Tuesdays. They're gonna go

436
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:42.800
out and get cheap taco somewhere else. So I thought that was pretty genius.

437
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:49.440
That is Taco Sampedro on Carson Avenue
in Hawaiian Gardens, California. You'd

438
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:53.480
like it, get the tacitos,
would you say? I have? Okay,

439
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:57.480
here's some late breaking news out of
the con Film Festival. What is

440
00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:59.760
the Gon Film Festival, Joe,
I hear about it all the time.

441
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.239
It's a movie market and an awards
thing. So people enter at film festival

442
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.880
and they win awards and then they
sell their films there. A lot of

443
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:15.039
people go to just like slower smaller
time film distributors go there. And pick

444
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.559
up other films. So people take
their films to CON and they have meetings,

445
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.360
and some people go to com but
they don't really get a laminate,

446
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.800
and they don't go inside the festival
hall, and they just may have meetings

447
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:31.719
in restaurants. I've done that and
TV markets. I'm gonna I'm not gonna

448
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:37.440
buy this stupid laminate and listen to
a bunch of seminars. I just have

449
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.239
to meet some people and sell them
a TV program, So I'll just go

450
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:46.519
and meet them in the hotel whatever. But at CON, you know,

451
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:52.039
it's it's super glamorous. The news
coming out of Con is Johnny's Depp's teeth

452
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.639
are really gross. The movie Rust
is at CON, so that gives you

453
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:59.280
the kind of movie. It gives
you an idea the kind of movies that

454
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:05.480
end up there. Rust with Alec
Baldwin, that controversial movie where the woman

455
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.480
got killed. They're selling that there. So people are, you know,

456
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.920
probably gonna get a lot of money
from. It's got a lot of recognition,

457
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.800
name recognition. And Johnny Depp's teeth
We've seen the pictures. People are

458
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.960
are are mad, why can't you
just have a really nice teeth? He's

459
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:30.639
a movie star. But the big
news that's coming out right now is Martin

460
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:40.000
Scorsese's film Killers of the Flower Moon
had a nine minute standing ovation. Okay,

461
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:44.559
these standing ovations get pretty crazy there, and they timed them, and

462
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.880
that's the headline. How many minutes
you're standing? Ovation? Was they got

463
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:54.039
a nine minute standing ovation? Leonardo
DiCaprio, Robert de Niro, Lily Gladstone.

464
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:59.239
I mean, Scorsese does it every
time, not every time, but

465
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.079
most of the time. Time.
Why did you do that, Tario?

466
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.920
Leonardo DiCaprio does it almost every time. I can go at any time any

467
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:15.400
but this looks like a great one. So get ready for Killers of the

468
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:22.280
Flower Moon. Only four hours I'm
not kidding, something like four hours long.

469
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.800
I hope they shorten it that before
it gets to my theater. All

470
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.800
right, I think we can go. It's in this segment. There's always

471
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:32.239
more. And I will now leave
you with just the taste of the greatest

472
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.280
song ever written.
