WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:15.119
Yo West Belante live from Hollywood the
Two Hours of the Business, End of

2
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.320
Show Business, and this week we
are live from the Coachella Valley Music and

3
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:25.440
Arts Festival out here in Indio,
California, where it's very windy and it's

4
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.519
pretty cold. It's about the coldest
Coachella that anyone's ever seen. So if

5
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.439
you don't like a heat and you
don't go to Coachella because it's too hot

6
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:40.799
for you, get down here and
enjoy a chili Coachella. How are you

7
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.399
doing, sand I'm not bad at
chili Colchella. Soudum's very nice right now.

8
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:51.439
Actually, yeah, it's like last
night. I asked the owner of

9
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.119
the festival. I said, is
this the cold? Is this the coldest

10
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:59.840
Coachella that you've ever had? And
he said, no, Tomorrow night is

11
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.719
cooldest Coachella that we've ever had.
And so that's tonight. So that's pretty

12
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.799
cool, except for I didn't bring
any I didn't dress for it. It's

13
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.079
like I just went to Japan.
It was freezing. I didn't dress for

14
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:19.400
it. So I'm sure they have
some mergers that you could get some clothes.

15
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:29.560
I can go steal the Sublime hoodies. It's not a bad idea.

16
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.920
Grab me one. The reason two, that's pretty cool, okay, cool?

17
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:44.200
Yeah. So the reason why I'm
out here is the the band I

18
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.959
managed to BlimE played their first concert
last night at on the main stage six

19
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.120
oh five, and it was it
was very successful. And if you if

20
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.640
you don't believe me, go to
YouTube, because you can watch the whole

21
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:14.240
Coachella festival on YouTube for free.
So you got it free. Yeah yeah,

22
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.759
I mean millions of people are watching
and there's a multiview function, which

23
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:25.919
the only people that have for the
multiview function on YouTube is Coachella and the

24
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.879
NFL. So you can go to
Coachella and you're gonna get a screen with

25
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.680
like four different stages on it and
you just toggle through you see something you

26
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.520
like, and you watch that band
and they've got it on all the stages.

27
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:47.360
And that's pretty That's pretty generous for
a festival that costs, like,

28
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.919
you know, like the latest I
heard is somebody bought a ticket on the

29
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.080
open market that I thought to He
paid seventeen hundred dollars for his one general

30
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.080
admission ticket. Oh geez, it's
for three days, you know, So

31
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.120
if you say it's for three days, So three days, so I know,

32
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.560
but I remember going fifteen years ago
for three days and it was like

33
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.800
maybe five hundred bucks at most.
Well, when I was a kid,

34
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.159
I went to thrifty in an ice
cream was a nickel, Oh it was

35
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.879
you know that. Yeah, So
anyway, think about all the other things

36
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.479
you spend. It's like, you
know, maybe six hundred dollars on and

37
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:31.400
a whole day at Coachella with you
know, dozens and dozens of bands on

38
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:39.599
in a beautiful landscape and a you
know, a list talent and new bands

39
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:46.199
you're discovering. And it's only it's
less than six hundred dollars Is it really

40
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:52.360
expensive compared to you know, I
paid four hundred dollars to see the freaking

41
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.159
Harlem Globetrotters a couple of weeks ago, and they my team, the Generals,

42
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:06.479
didn't even win. So anyway,
some of the headliners are Teso Pluma,

43
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:13.199
Doja Cat and No Doubt, The
Big No Doubt Reunion, Lana del

44
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.000
Rey, JB. Balvin and We've
Got what else we got? We got

45
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:30.160
Blur And then there's there's a lot
of stuff you never heard of, right,

46
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.600
Yeah, I remember the setlist,
the ones that were familiar to me

47
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.439
were exactly the ones that you mentioned
after that. It's very basically like a

48
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:44.439
Who's that of music? Right?
But if you went back ten years ago

49
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.439
and looked at one of the lineups
from ten years ago, and you would

50
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.240
see a bunch of bands that you
did not know who they were, and

51
00:04:54.279 --> 00:05:00.560
then you would go, oh,
I cannot believe all these bands play together.

52
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.279
Look at this line at how did
all these bands play together? You

53
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.279
know? And I wasn't there because
you didn't know who they were back then.

54
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.279
So the public is, you know, very far behind the Coachella stuff.

55
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.920
So yeah, there's stuff here like
the Death Tones and you know who

56
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.519
they are, But what about the
stuff you don't know? But you will

57
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.399
in the future, And that's why
people should come out here. So next

58
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.560
weekend he is a whole brand new
weekend and they have tickets available for next

59
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:39.319
weekend. And if you haven't,
you want to check out Sublime on the

60
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.680
YouTube if you actually if you do
watch it, there's a lot of For

61
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:47.480
sixty days, there's going to be
you know, songs uptown and you'll see

62
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:54.439
me Sam the stage or he actually
perform. Yeah, I'm in the back

63
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.879
panicking or this guy trying to get
him on stage, get him off stage,

64
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.639
stuff I normally wouldn't have to do. But it's like my first show

65
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:09.120
with them, so I'm a little
panicky and trying to get stuff organized and

66
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.600
and it's a I mean, it's
you know, it's like one hundred and

67
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.199
fifty thousand people they go to this
festival, so I don't know how many

68
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.399
people A up with If it's the
main stage and it's packed, it's prime

69
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.240
time, six pm in the evening, it's a magic hour and the sun

70
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.240
is coming down. There's an audience
there. And this kid, Jacob Noll,

71
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.120
this is his first show with the
band. He had a they played

72
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.199
a benefit where they played a few
songs. But this is basically the launch

73
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:43.480
of Jacob Mill and the original drummer
and bass player, which are Eric Wilson

74
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.399
and Bud Gaw And uh, of
course I got a DJ. They got

75
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:53.120
a backup guitarist named Trey Pangbourne.
But it's this is it it's first one,

76
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.959
so it's so far, so good. And in other music names,

77
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.800
Hey, Sam, what how much
time we got left in this segment?

78
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:08.639
We got about three two minutes?
Okay, I might have some other music.

79
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.800
I gotta love it, dustimate throw, it is what I have.

80
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.439
I mean, you're out there at
Coachella in the cold, windy, rainy

81
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:24.639
like dusty you know. P that's
awesome, and it's great that you're doing

82
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.720
the show live from there. Yeah, I'm doing it for my trailer.

83
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.680
My trailer is on site here at
the and Lot three F and I could

84
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.000
go into the media area and do
my show there and probably interview some some

85
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.480
people, but I'd rather talk to
you, Sam, So I'm show on

86
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:53.560
the trail. So in other music
news, Bruce Springsteen his recent set at

87
00:07:53.560 --> 00:08:00.000
the Forum three hours and twenty minutes. Sam, that's a lot of music.

88
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.399
Yeah, that's uh. I don't
know. I can't sit through that

89
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.079
much music. But the people who
love him, they love that and they

90
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.360
know what they're getting into when they
get there. But that is, like

91
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:16.879
I mean, and you know what
that means. I would say a lot

92
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:26.639
of overtime for the venue staff because
they usually have curfews. Why is there

93
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.399
a curfew at these shows? People
say strict you know, ten thirty curfew,

94
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.080
eleven thirty currefew or something like that. It's listed everywhere backstage. Hey,

95
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.200
everybody, you go over this,
we're all screwed. Don't go over

96
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.159
one minute. But I think when
they bake into the cake, Bruce Springsteen's

97
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.919
going to go over so much.
You better have the money ready to pay

98
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.679
the overtime or the union workers,
because at these big venues, a lot

99
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:58.039
of union workers they don't They work
a certain amount and when it's done,

100
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.759
it's done. Now. They're happy
to get over time, but it's gonna

101
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:07.720
cost you so three hours and twenty
minutes. Wow. However, for those

102
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.519
that sat through The Under the Killer
Flower Moon, a recent Scorsese movie,

103
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:20.679
they said it went by just like
that, got a pair of Okay,

104
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.600
let's take a break, check the
traffic and come back and maybe my voice,

105
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.519
well, I'll get it. I'll
get a glass of water. How's

106
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.039
that? And we'll talk more from
the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

107
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.080
And I'm here in Coachella Joascalante live
from Hollywood, if by Hollywood I mean

108
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:43.879
Burt Bank, and we are coming
to you live in April fourteenth, from

109
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:50.360
the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Let's get back to the movies.

110
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.320
Sam the box office this week very
pretty interesting. The movie Civil War from

111
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.480
the company. A twenty four is
number one. Now A twenty four is

112
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.080
like an indie movie distributor of studio
that people will go see a movie just

113
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.120
because it says A twenty four on
it. People will wear a T shirt

114
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:16.320
that says A twenty four on it. And this civil war movie is about

115
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.159
kind of like some kind of prepper
militia, super maga people versus the rest

116
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.799
of America. Excuse me, but
I haven't seen it yet. But it's

117
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:35.000
number one, and it pulled in
twenty five million, and it probably costs

118
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.480
about that to make, So that's
going to be another success from A twenty

119
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.799
four. Number two. Godzilla times
Kong? Have you seen this an?

120
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.559
No, I haven't, and I've
heard disappointing reviews. We just see a

121
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.960
great Godzilla movie, and why do
we need another different universes? And this

122
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.559
one in particular has like it's like
following up on the previous Godzilla and Kong

123
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.840
movie. I'm guessing yeah, I
mean, I'm I'm gonna watch it,

124
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.480
but I obviously I haven't rushed out
to the theater. Remember oh wait,

125
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.840
dud well, I remember it.
Who were the big stars last night that

126
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.039
that came out at Coachella and guest
starred with people. Well, actually Friday

127
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:28.480
night it was Lona del Rey had
Billie Eilish. That's cool. That was

128
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.519
cool, And then she was last
night she was backstage at the No Doubt

129
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:41.679
Party. No Doubt who had Olivia
Rodrigo and Olivia Rodrigo was also at the

130
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.360
party. Awesome. Other than that, very small gathering, sad, I'm

131
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.200
just family and friends, you know
now, Okay, so let's keep going

132
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.960
down. We have Civil War number
two, Godzilla, themes Kong, Ghostbusters,

133
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:03.919
Frozen Empire. This is where Elsa
and Anna, I guess go to

134
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.120
New York and fight spooks. Doing
pretty good ninety six million total at the

135
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.759
box office. Reviews are mixed.
I'll talk about that in a little bit.

136
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.399
Number four, Kung Fu Panda,
number five, Dune Part two,

137
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.320
number six, Monkey Man, number
seven, The First Omen, number eight,

138
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:33.200
The Long Game, and number nine
Shrek two. Why does that make

139
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.960
ten two? Shrek two? Number
nine? Okay, that's nowhere say a

140
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.159
re release? I have no idea. I'm guessing that it has to be

141
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:52.080
very weird. I really really want
to see Monkey Man. That looks really

142
00:12:52.080 --> 00:13:01.639
good. Yeah, I haven't seen
it. I did see a uh a,

143
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.879
I did see one of the movies
and so monkey Man it looks like

144
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.639
a it's like an Indian movie.
Yeah, it's a martial arts film,

145
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.759
Indian martial arts. I love it. Uh. Okay. The movie that

146
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:28.399
I did see what was called Ghostbusters. Now, before I tell you what

147
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.559
I thought of it, let me
read you some of the reviews. Same.

148
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.559
I like to go to letterboxed and
just filter out the good reviews and

149
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.519
read only the bad ones. And
because sometimes it's pretty good. So let's

150
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.799
see when I got that. One
of them says bust busting. No,

151
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.639
it longer makes me feel good.
Uh. I thought that was a pretty

152
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.159
good one. Some of them are
in Spanish. I got your translated for

153
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.720
you if we wanted, but they
were you know, these are the these

154
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.240
are the half star ones. Uh, pessimo one one person called it.

155
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:18.399
Pessimo means like dreadful. Ah,
let's find another good one here. I

156
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.320
am afraid of around right now.
You are definitely at Coachella. Yeah you

157
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.360
hear the thumping out there. Oh
yeah, that sounds awesome. That's not

158
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.360
just fake, it's real. So
okay, So then my my next favorite

159
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.320
one here is I am afraid of
No Ghosts. But I am afraid of

160
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:46.080
the other movies these writers will make
because this is so awful. M h

161
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.919
if I can get you another one
here. Most of them are just like,

162
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.759
oh, these are the bad reviews, you know, but some of

163
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.200
them, some of them are funny. They mainly I thought this one actually

164
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.519
was. Although it was a terrible
review, it offered some you know,

165
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.320
helpful criticism, which is, this
movie was so painfully predictable. Someone should

166
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.559
have put Phoebe on a leash.
That's the main character, and we,

167
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:20.600
uh, then we want then we
will see the antagonists. But basically they

168
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.200
what they wanted is the the person
the family to be put on I mean,

169
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.759
the girl girl. It's about a
girl. How instead of what what

170
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.600
happens, she should get humbled by
the power of family and love. You

171
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.279
know what. That's that's not a
bad criticism because if you've seen the Ghostbusters

172
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:45.519
movie, it's about it's basically about
a lesbian uh team and her lesbian ghost

173
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:52.840
lover and Paul Rudd, you know, being funny and and doing his thing.

174
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.039
I uh, you know what.
Overall, despite these reviews, I

175
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:03.519
liked it. It was entertaining,
special effects were awesome, and Staypuffed Marshamallow

176
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.399
Man and a million Staypuff marshmallow mini
baby marshmallows were fun. They were like

177
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:15.080
gremlins running around. I thought it
was pretty good. I do agree kind

178
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.919
of predictable, but it seems like
every movie has to have a lesbian team

179
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.000
in it now. And the reason
I mentioned that because it's not because I

180
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.320
have anything against that. It's because, okay, nowaday, it's been done

181
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:30.879
so many times. At what point
does it become cliche and we get some

182
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:41.799
other kind of thing besides the predictable
lesbian team. But this one, Hey,

183
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.879
hey, if this is it and
there's no more of these for a

184
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.039
while with all the cliches in him, great, it was a good movie,

185
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.440
but it's starting to get like you
started to see a pattern where people

186
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.039
going, well, here's what i'm
gonna I'm gonna throw in this and I

187
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.240
and okay, that's fine, but
okay, you've got you've thrown it in

188
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.960
so many times. Let's throw one
other things. But I take it you

189
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.319
did not see The Ghostbusters. I
have not seen it yet, and I

190
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.640
will see it soon. I just
have not had the opportunity. I'm I've

191
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.279
got one month left of school and
I'm done after this. All right,

192
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:26.759
Well, I think you'll like it. And I still have the most recent

193
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:33.599
Indiana Jones film. I still have
to go see that one. Yeah,

194
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:38.400
it's good, it's good enough.
How about the money. I'll give myself

195
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:45.079
credit for that. Mmm. I
like Doom too, as we as I

196
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.759
have mentioned on the show, it's
good. It made me want to watch

197
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:56.720
Dune one again because I didn't win. I just didn't get rust. The

198
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:02.559
Alec Baldwin movie has reached a settlement
with the Medic on the set. The

199
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:08.880
medic on the set sued the production, sued, the producer, suit everybody

200
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:18.319
because she had to treat the wounds
of the deceased cinematographer and the director,

201
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:30.920
and so she sued for pain and
suffering of being traumatized. What do you

202
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.880
think about that, Sam, Let's
go to break. But I think that

203
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.039
it is a traumatic experience. That's
not what most people sign up for.

204
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.759
But let's go further into it,
into the next break. Yeah, let's

205
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.119
talk about it because is this a
valid lawsuit or not? Is this the

206
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.240
kind of thing we want the courts
to take up time in the court system

207
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.079
or do we or don't we?
More on that Joe Scalante live from Hollywood

208
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:04.640
after the break right, Joe Le's
go on to say, live Hollywood,

209
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.640
but live today from the Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival out here near Palm

210
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:18.680
Springs and Indio, all these fine
desert communities. It's been really beautiful out

211
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.720
here, Sam, you ever come
out here and get a chance. I

212
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.039
love it out there. It is
gorgeous, such very, very unique beauty.

213
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.519
And you know, I've been all
over this great land of our Sam,

214
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.279
and I have to tell you,
there's just nothing like this. There's

215
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.519
some places that are even more beautiful, but there's nothing like this, and

216
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.000
it is. It really does have
a unique beauty. And I start to

217
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:48.680
understand why people move out here in
their later years, and I might do

218
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.920
the same. I have a small
band is playing behind you right now.

219
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.079
Holy Cow. I couldn't tell you, and I'm trying to see if I

220
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.480
could decipher it from the beat going
on, because that sounds like it's banging

221
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.240
out there. Yeah, it is. It is. It's not on the

222
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.720
main stage, so that means because
I'm behind the main stage, and I

223
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.440
can see if a band's on the
main stage because the the lights would be

224
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.279
going. I could see them,
but there's nothing over there, so it's

225
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.359
on some other stage, and the
other stages become a rumble, uh,

226
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.759
and it's it's hard to to decipher. The big bands tonight are j Balvin

227
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:41.039
and Doja Cat Cool and uh last
night No Doubt, Sublime, Yes,

228
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:48.119
No Doubt, the Aquabants and the
Addicts. There's two classic punk bands and

229
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.759
how you know they throw? Do
you know? There was a lot of

230
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.359
hype going in on this reunion.
I'd say that the the two biggest stories

231
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:03.480
of the whole festival are the No
Doubt reunion and Bradley Nole's son coming in

232
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.079
to sing for Sublime after twenty eight
years. When Bradley died, he was

233
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:12.799
an eleventh month old baby, and
now he went through a lot. And

234
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.960
you know, in twenty eight years, this kid really went through a lot.

235
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.440
He did not have a silver spoon
in his hand. It wasn't easy,

236
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:26.519
and I struggled with sobriety. He's
now been sober for seven years and

237
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:32.759
he's just like he's a natural talent. I encourage everybody to go onto YouTube

238
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.759
and watch the Sublime set and watch
that kid. It's really wonderful to see,

239
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.519
it's heart warming, it's touching,
and there's much more to come for

240
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:48.640
that kid. All Right, we
were talking about Rust, the movie.

241
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.119
We always talk about. It's our
favorite movie, Alec Baldwin's movie. It's

242
00:21:52.200 --> 00:22:00.200
very sad that the cinematographer, Miss
Haylena Hutchins, was fatally shot up.

243
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.039
There will be a trial coming up
very soon with Alec Baldwin. I believe

244
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:14.039
it's in July for the killing and
see if he's responsible for it in a

245
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:18.759
criminal does he bear criminal responsibility?
Sam, that's the that's what we're going

246
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.680
to try to figure out. In
the meantime. You know, everybody involved

247
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:27.640
that could sue sue the production and
including the medic. So here's the medics

248
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:34.680
claim. The medics says that she
her name is Sherilyn Schaeffer. She's she's

249
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:41.920
a local New Mexican citizen. She
says she had to treat the wounds of

250
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.759
the of the two gunshot victims and
it's just not what she signed up for

251
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:53.039
and it was very traumatic and she
would like to be compensated. The production

252
00:22:53.160 --> 00:23:00.400
said, whoa, whoa, whoa. We hired her to treat people if

253
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.400
they're injured. She got paid to
be there and treat people who are injured.

254
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.200
So you're telling me, if someone
gets injured and she has to do

255
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:19.920
her job, we are civilly liable
for compensating her for her pain and suffering.

256
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.920
How does that grab you, Sam, It's not like she's a combat

257
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:32.359
medic. I mean, that's where
you understand what you're getting into. I'm

258
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.440
assuming that a medic on a film
set, for the most part, especially

259
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:41.519
on a set like Rust, would
be worrying about like administering eye drops to

260
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.200
people who had dust get in their
eyes. I don't think she or anybody

261
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.200
in that situation would be expecting to
have to deal and treat gunshot wounds,

262
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.440
be stings. Stings, yes,
somebody having an allergic reaction to something at

263
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:07.039
the craft table. Imagine the ah
the interview process when you're interviewing the medic

264
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:17.359
here. Miss I forgot her name
already, but anyway, let's say the

265
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.359
interview Sherilyn Schaeffer, and you go, Okay, Miss Shaeffer, can you

266
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.319
really handle being on a on a
movie set? Uh? A lot,

267
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.480
with with all the injuries that happened. What's her answer? I can handle

268
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.720
anything. You know, I'm a
medic. I've been trained. I met

269
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:37.079
out in the streets. I've seen
this wound, that wound, a litany

270
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.039
of all the trauma that she has
witnessed. And so they go, well,

271
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:47.759
maybe you do have what it takes, miss Schaeffer, but I warn

272
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:53.319
you, it can get awful nasty
out here in the desert, and accidents

273
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:59.079
happen. Well, I assure you, if you hire me, I'll be

274
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.480
ready. And then they hire her, and then we have this accident.

275
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.680
She has to treat him. And
then she says, oh, by the

276
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.319
way, I forgot to tell you, if there is an accident and it

277
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:17.079
is gruesome, I would be suing
you for pain and suffering for having having

278
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.400
to do it. So, but
I get your point. No one signed

279
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.880
up, No one thought that would
happen. You have real bullets. Hey,

280
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.359
come on, guys, you got
real bullets on the set. That's

281
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:37.079
I'm not here to treat actual gun
shot wounds. But it is. Yeah,

282
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.599
could this is for a jury,
So juries do they sit in a

283
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.319
room like me and you and just
like hash it out. Now, in

284
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.680
this case, they reached a settlement, So she's they're not going to tell

285
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.720
us what it is. But I
think she got something. Yeah, I

286
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.279
would assume that that would be the
case. That's that's something where it's like,

287
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.839
yeah, we could see that,
how traumatic that would be. Let's

288
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.359
give you something for all of the
psychiatric care you're going to need after that.

289
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:11.160
All right, enough of this rusty
gin wag. Let's move on to

290
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.160
the intellectual property portion of the show. And we have a big win for

291
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:21.680
Paramount Studios who could use a win, and that is they won their Top

292
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.680
Gun lawsuit copyright lawsuits. Sam,
Remember we talked about this. There was

293
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:33.319
a magazine article from nineteen eighty three
that inspired the original Top Gun and it

294
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.920
was some guy who wrote an article
about a academy of you know, where

295
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:42.640
the fighter pilots go in San Diego
and it's only the best of the best,

296
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:49.599
and they're rare breeds and it's right
rife with drama, and you can

297
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:55.000
make a movie about this. And
so the Paramount licensed the article and they

298
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:00.359
made they made Top Gun one.
Now, in that document, it didn't

299
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:07.480
say anything about sequels because I wasn't
the lawyer on that document. Actually that's

300
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.160
before I even went to law school. But you got to put sequels in

301
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.599
your in your in your when you
have a option deal, and someone's licensing

302
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.519
from you for a movie, you
have to be tied to all the sequels

303
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.920
and remakes. So this person didn't
do that. These guys didn't do that,

304
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.640
And so now they make Top Gun
two, the Search for Curly's Gold,

305
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:37.640
which we saw recently last year,
and yeah, a really good movie,

306
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.200
really good movie, brought back to
the theater business in a big way,

307
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.599
made tons of money, biggest movie
ever for Tom Cruise. And these

308
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.559
guys are saying, hey, what
about us, and Paramount goes, I

309
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:53.839
don't know what about you? And
I'll tell you what happened to that after

310
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:59.519
we take a break, and who's
right and who's wrong on the Top Gun

311
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:04.079
copyright suit and other stuff on Joe
Scalante Live from the Coachella Valley Music and

312
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:29.480
Arts Festival. Yeah, h m
hm hm. Joe's Avanti. He's my

313
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:36.839
lawyer. You don't want money,
he does it all for you, and

314
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.519
he knows what he's talking about.
Then, oh, yes, he knows.

315
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.240
Yeah. Joe Is Scalante Live from
Hollywood this week, Live from the

316
00:28:53.240 --> 00:29:03.359
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
And I am here at the festival because

317
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:08.359
I manage Sublime and the New incarnation
of Sublime, but Jacob Noel taking over

318
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:15.559
for his dad, and Bud Gaw
and Eric Wilson who just killed it last

319
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.599
night, just killed it. They
played right before Blur at six o'clock and

320
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.880
then No Doubt came on and after
that was Tyler the Creator. I missed

321
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:33.880
other highlights of the festival so far, Payeso, Pluma and Sora. That's

322
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:42.480
one of those Cumbia punk rock bands
that we saw in the Sonora stage yesterday.

323
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:51.359
Very exciting. Now we were talking
about the top Gun suit, right,

324
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.599
Okay, so what's what's wrong now? Top Gun they won their copyright

325
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.839
suit. These guys suit him and
said, hey, you can make a

326
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.039
top Gun too and not pay us
because we wrote the article that inspired the

327
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:10.440
original Top Gun. Now the said, well let me look at that.

328
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.480
That's basically what happened. You know, went through the courts here, and

329
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:18.079
basically in the end the court said, you know, we've we've we've read

330
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:25.160
what what you own? You know, you wrote an article and you own

331
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.400
the right for someone to reproduce that
article. It's a copyright, a right

332
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:36.160
to copy that. And if someone
copied that article based a movie on it,

333
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.279
you would you would get paid,
and you did in nineteen eighty three.

334
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:45.640
But this is a different movie,
mister top Gun original article writer,

335
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.720
This is a different movie. Now
what in this movie do you want?

336
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.720
Well, that's about a school for
top gun fighter pilots. What the original

337
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:03.240
article is about? Well? Yes, true? But is there anything that's

338
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.079
protected? Things like if someone copies
work, even though there's an article with

339
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.880
a copyright, if somebody copies the
parts in the article that are not protected

340
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:18.880
parts, there is no copyright infringement. And in this case, they copied

341
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:25.319
things that are not protectable, like, hey, there's a school, Hey

342
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:32.839
there's students. You can't can someone
else who didn't? Could you and me

343
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.400
Sam make a movie about a school
with fighter pilots down in sanis Ca?

344
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.440
Yeah we can. We got Hey, let's make a movie. And we'll

345
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.400
say these two guys are fighting,
uh, they're fighting there ting to be

346
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:52.640
fighter pilots. And then they see
some guy from the Philippine Army uh,

347
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.920
flying around and they're gonna buzz him
or they're gonna they're gonna really teach him

348
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:01.039
a lesson, send him back to
the Philippines. We do that? Sure?

349
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:05.119
Why not? But and so if
we can do if we can do

350
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.119
that, and it's legal for us
to do that, why isn't it legal

351
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:13.039
for Paramount to do that? Why
would they be put in a worse position

352
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.440
just because in nineteen eighty three they
licensed an article and made a movie about

353
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:20.480
that school. This is other stuff
that wasn't in the article, and these

354
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:25.400
guys didn't have any sequel rights,
so they are out of luck. Plus,

355
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.920
I mean, it's not like the
guy who wrote the article created the

356
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:35.680
school. This is an actual school
in San Diego. It's they're using that

357
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:43.119
as a platform for a completely different
story. Yes, those are facts that

358
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.400
you just said, and you can't. People can't take facts and say no

359
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:51.160
one else can use these facts because
facts are facts, like a recipe is

360
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.240
a list of facts. They're just
facts. There's sugar and there's spice and

361
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:00.880
everything nice. Although the plots of
both the article and this sequel featured top

362
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:07.799
Gun and various graduates and instructors,
top Gun is a real fighter pilot school,

363
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.680
and the graduates instructors mentioned in the
article are real people. Those are

364
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:17.599
factual elements and they're not protected.
They're just not. So they just looked

365
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:22.279
at it and said not enough,
Here go Pound sand and that was probably

366
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:27.640
I don't know. The law firm
probably took it on contingency hoping they would

367
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.279
get a settlement. They didn't get
a settlement, so they went to court

368
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:37.319
and they got their clock cleaned.
Yeah, that was a bad decision.

369
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.519
I'm not a lawyer, and I
can tell you that. It's one thing.

370
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.000
If the writer created the concept of
the Top Gun School, but he

371
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.319
was writing an article about real people
a real school, he doesn't own the

372
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.160
copyright to that. Me ask you
this, Sam can me and you we

373
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:59.160
just made this movie about the Top
Gun School and we were allowed to because

374
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.640
of the current state of copyright lots, and we made a lot of money.

375
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.960
And then we took that money and
we said, let's make another movie

376
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.760
about another school. And you said
to me, what school are you thinking,

377
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:15.760
Joe, and I said, It's
called the Hogwarts Wizard Academy. And

378
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.199
we make it, and now what
happens. See, that would be a

379
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.679
problem because that is not a real
place. That was crazy. That is

380
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:28.760
a work of fiction. That's somebody
else's idea. Yes, so this is

381
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.000
not the Hogwarts Academy. It's the
Top Gun Academy. And that's what I

382
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:36.840
would have said in my opening statement
or in my request to dismiss, my

383
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.000
motion for dismissal in this thing,
saying, let me know if I can

384
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:46.119
make if I can make a Hogwarts
you know movie, and no I can't,

385
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:50.320
but I can make a top gun. Actually, my speech wouldn't have

386
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:52.400
been very good, so it's a
good thing I'm not a litigator. Let's

387
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.880
move into some other intellectual property stuff. The Mickey Mouse. You know,

388
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:02.199
we talked about the Mickey Mouse copyright
and Bicky Mouse horror movie coming out the

389
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:08.760
But there's something called the Pooniverse,
Sam, the Poonaverse. Are these guys

390
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:16.360
that are making movies about Winnie the
Pooh, Mickey Mouse, all public domain.

391
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.280
Now they've got a new one called
Bambi the Reckoning Sam, How good

392
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:30.280
does that sound? Oh my god, that's amazing, right, Oh my

393
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.880
god. Okay, I my brain
is already just coming up with every possible

394
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:42.480
good idea for this. The final
shots of the teaser you can see now

395
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.920
show a vicious and angry deer attacking
a car. The vehicle turns completely over

396
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.280
before the deer lets out a guttural
roar. The main plot of the film

397
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.639
is said to follow the characters Xanna
and her son Benji, who are in

398
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:58.960
the car wreck and are soon hunted
down by a vicious killing machine, Bambi.

399
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:06.639
It's like Cocaine Bear, but with
Bambi a little bit. But Cocaine

400
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.960
Cocaine Bear was a very good movie. These movies look like crap, so

401
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:15.119
they I don't know what's going on. We'll see the film, but there's

402
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.840
a whole series of films, so
they're gonna They're gonna nail it at some

403
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:22.400
point. Also included in the series
is Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. Is that

404
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.199
about Michael Jackson or no, Michael, that's a different movie than Michael Jackson

405
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.199
movie. Sorry, Yeah, that
is a documentary. That's another one altogether.

406
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:37.239
And then and then Pinocchio Unstrung,
Oh dear Lord, and they got

407
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:43.280
other stuff coming, Sleeping Beauty,
the Mad Hatter and more. So that's

408
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.119
kind of fun. Let's keep going, uh, because I got a lot

409
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:51.920
of stuff to do before the show's
over. Game of Throne star Joseph Gatt

410
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:57.760
filed a forty million dollars lawsuit against
the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office against

411
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:02.760
jorgeic Ascone, who hopefully will will
be thrown out of office on the next

412
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:12.599
election cycle. And then a woman
named Brunson, she's one of the deputy

413
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:20.599
DA's because they Angela brun said.
What Joseph Gatt says is he had a

414
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.960
fan. He did a cameo for
you know, the cameo thing where you

415
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:27.719
record a private message for somebody for
like their birthday or something. He did

416
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.079
that. He did the cameo,
and then the girl was an obsessed fan,

417
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.320
and then she kind of kept trying
to talk to him through that,

418
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:43.039
and then eventually she produced and evidently
it appears that she made the fake conversations

419
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:49.360
with Snapchat or something like that,
and someone took that fake conversation sent it

420
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:57.239
to the police and he was arrested
and he's been exonerated. So assuming the

421
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.599
office and the individuals for forty million
dollars, and if it's true what he

422
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:08.000
said, good for him because that's
and they and then when he tried to

423
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:12.480
investigate, he says they stonewalled them
and they said they would punish him if

424
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.320
he investigated further that kind of stuff. So if there's any gangster techniques going

425
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.159
on in the LA District District Attorneys
Office will come out here. And I

426
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.360
will tell you what I know about
the District Attorney's office pedophile stuff like that,

427
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.000
they still prosecute you. So that
let that be a lesson to you

428
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.360
pedophiles out there. You're not going
to get away with it just because you

429
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.920
see people running the streets. The
last thing I want to talk about,

430
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:44.760
Sam is Shoheo Tani's ex interpreter and
as spiraling gambling of debts, debts.

431
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:46.559
I mean, if you have a
chance, we don't have a lot of

432
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:51.000
any time for this to talk about
it early actually the segment, but if

433
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:58.599
you get a chance, look over
the chronology from ESPN investigative reporter Paul Levine

434
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:05.480
and this guy got access to his
bank account and about forty million in debt

435
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:14.320
something like that. Yeah, it's
absurd. So I hope Otani is gonna

436
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:17.400
come out, Okay. I believe
the Houston Astros are behind this whole thing,

437
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:23.079
as you know, And well we'll
find out and hopefully Otani's okay.

438
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.760
Everything good, Sam, We're gonna
get out of here. Yeah, let's

439
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.559
go. We'll talk next time.
Joe Ascante Live from Hollywood, leaving you

440
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.719
with the greatest just a taste of
the greatest song I've ever written
