WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.079 Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank. We are 2 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:22.120 two hours of the business, end of show Business, airing live every week 3 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:31.359 from five to seven high Top the iHeartMedia towers and it is free advice. 4 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.119 I don't give advice anymore, Sam do, I not as much now? 5 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.880 Whatever calls all right? The advice is free and worth every penny. That's 6 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.719 what I used to say. But anyways, we're here, we're live. 7 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:49.280 I have Sam here, our engineer, we have producer Nikki. Let's just 8 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.640 call it out. It's easier. Okay. How are you, Nicky? 9 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.359 I'm doing well. How about you? Pretty good? How are your Hollywood 10 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.239 dreams coming? Oh? They're good. I'm I'm going to go dance along 11 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.719 Hollywood Boulevard later tonight, hopefully take some pictures with Spider Man. That's a 12 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.680 good idea. That's my evening plan. You're you're kind of new to the 13 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:23.439 show. But what one of my pet peeves in Hollywood is the the fact 14 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.359 that more celebrities don't spend more time on Hollywood Boulevard. And I think it 15 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:37.680 should be a a requirement to as membership in the Screen Actors Guild two go 16 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:42.319 to Hollywood Boulevard and take pictures with tourists. You know, I actually agree 17 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.879 with you on that. I think that it's kind of like you got to 18 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.840 do community service. I don't want to be on Hollywood Boulevard, but someone's 19 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.319 got to be, you know. Yeah, and we can We can't keep 20 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.400 having five Spider Man's five Hello, Kadis you know three buzz light years. 21 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.719 That doesn't make sense in the universe. We got to have some real people 22 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.000 out there doing time. Honestly, Yeah, that's what that would actually change 23 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.560 the game in Hollywood, I think, because if you have real celebrities there, 24 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.439 you would have a lot fewer of the buzz light years. Yes, 25 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.840 yeah, there would be a lot. And the real celebrities smell a lot 26 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:21.479 better than the fake but buzz light Year. That's what I've noticed. Yeah, 27 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.199 that's my research. Whoever's in charge of the HOA of Hollywood really needs 28 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:30.520 to start recruiting for the community service hours taking place on Sunset and Hollywood. 29 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.520 Actually, we can tag Sunset in on this, so every Sunday we do 30 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.560 two hours here. The business end of the show business and one of the 31 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.280 one of the plagues of the business of show business right now, is a 32 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.039 lot of I mean, there's two things. There's, of course, there's 33 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:53.360 the casting couch, which we don't approve of, but the cancelation of the 34 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.919 celebrities, you know, got out of hand at the peak of the Me 35 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.439 Too movement, and I'm sure a lot I think a lot of reckoning happened 36 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.120 in the Me too movement. You won't you won't get me like trying to 37 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.000 rail against the Me too movement. But there's also there were also a lot 38 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:15.479 of casualties that I'm not sure were kosher like, and one of them is 39 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.680 speaking out for the first time mister Armie Hammer. As you remember, he 40 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:28.840 was accused of cannibalism and he was accused of sexual assault. When people say, 41 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.639 like the cannibalism, okay, we don't we that's probably phony. And 42 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.520 when you looked at the text or whatever, like it's like, you know, 43 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.599 hey, I'm going to eat you. You're so good looking, I'm 44 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.240 going to eat you up. My wife says that to me all the time. 45 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.400 But there's also there was a sexual assault claim and there was an emotional 46 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:53.759 abuse claim. However, no charges were ever filed after the Los Angeles Police 47 00:03:53.759 --> 00:04:01.240 Department did an investigation, so this guy. The last I heard, he 48 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:09.319 was selling time shares in like the Virgin Islands or something like that. They 49 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.479 dropped him from his movie. Do you guys know what movie he was cast 50 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.439 in when all this went down that he that he had to be replaced. 51 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:25.839 It was a TV series and it was called well, it was the Already 52 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.959 Story of the Godfather. Oh, this is something that you talked about pretty 53 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.199 extensively as it was coming out. Yeah, because Already was a friend of 54 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.639 mine. Yeah, so I'd like to talk about myself, especially if I 55 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.959 know a famous person. I mean, come on, but Already was supposed 56 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.279 to be played by Armie Hammer, and I got all excited because I love 57 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:56.199 Army Hammer, and I'm like, hey, You're gonna be played by one 58 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.120 of the coolest actors around. I know he's a can of but and then 59 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.079 you know, but he just called the offer. They ended up casting Miles 60 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.279 Teller, who is also a pretty cool actor. Are you guys familiar with 61 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.399 this guy, Miles Teller, Marles Teller? What was he in? You 62 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.480 know, he was in the offer? He was in he was so familiar. 63 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.160 Oh yeah, he was Okay, wait, I think I know a 64 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.480 rabbit whole divergence. There we go. That's how I know him. Whiplash. 65 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.639 He was in Whiplash. Yeah, good movie, mm hm and uh 66 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.480 okay, so he was good. But Armie Hammer was supposed to play that 67 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.040 and then he got, you know, just totally canceled. So he just 68 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.680 now it's starting to talk about it, and basically he's saying he was on 69 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.079 a podcast. It seems like that's what these people do. I mean, 70 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:57.439 podcasts, if are good for nothing except for if not for canceled celebrities, 71 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.879 you know, edging their way back back into the to the public guy. 72 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:11.839 And he basically his response is kind of what you would you would imagine, 73 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.519 he said, you know, and now he's able to look back on it 74 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.480 and say they said it was a cannibal. I mean, that's just hilarious 75 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:26.360 now hilarious. And so this guy is maybe his life was saved. Can 76 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.079 I get an amen on that? Amen? And I mean I feel like 77 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.519 as a Catholic, now he's got the body and blood of Jesus Christ to 78 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.040 fill him up, you know, And I feel like, well, whatever, 79 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.360 yeah, whatever he was looking for, he could have found it in 80 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.759 the Calathic Church. Because if if you ever want a religion that like parallels 81 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.160 cannibalism. There you go, yeah, so yeah at all. So I 82 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.040 I I welcome this guy back. Does he does he deserve a place in 83 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.800 show business? Let's start with our female for no particular reason, our female 84 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.879 voice here. What do you think? I mean? I will say, 85 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:12.079 for all the cannibalism stuff. Right when that came out, my instinctual response 86 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.519 was, that's hilarious. I need to know what he said, and I'm 87 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.439 refreshing, refreshing myself now on you know what he said that that caused all 88 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.879 of these cannibalism allegations. And I have to say, I think that no 89 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.040 real cannibal would confess all of these things over Instagram DM. You know, 90 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.519 that's like you have a signal chat or a telegram for that kind of desire. 91 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:39.720 So it's it comes with this sort of just attitude that can only really 92 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.240 exist on like a social media DM platform. So I always thought that was 93 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.160 kind of funny. I mean, clearly the person that he was messaging was 94 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.319 going on with with it for long enough. Ha ha. Oh you want 95 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:58.160 to take my beating heart out ha ha? Then what you know, and 96 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.000 also the thing about actors is that they're all kind of crazy. That's why 97 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.040 they do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I trust him more 98 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.879 in his craft actually as a results, he was just acting like a cannibal. 99 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.240 Yeah, what a good actor. Seriously, Yeah, he he is. 100 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.079 I mean, he really got his his he I'm not saying his life 101 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.000 is ruined because he might be better now he's telling us he's better, but 102 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:31.879 his life was saved perhaps, but he is. Ah. I just say, 103 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.279 just profoundly unfair. What happened to this guy, And it's happened to 104 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:43.120 a lot of people, and it seems like it's happening less but uh, 105 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.639 it's just you know, I hope, I hope Hollywood has learned some lessons. 106 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.279 It seems like there's but there's always someone new who didn't get any of 107 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.960 these me too lessons. You know, there's always this story every every couple 108 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.679 of weeks of like, what's the like, p did he like? He 109 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.600 didn't didn't seem like he learned a thing from any of this. He just 110 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:13.360 went about his trafficking lifestyle. So hopefully this guy sounds like he he learned 111 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:20.759 a lot. And I'm not you know, there's no evidence really that he 112 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.080 even was abusive to these women. Or assaulted them. Maybe he didn't, 113 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.720 Maybe he didn't, I don't know, but he certainly didn't deserve to lose 114 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.759 his whole life. So Armie Hammer, welcome back. We look forward to 115 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.080 seeing you in maybe a next time. He could be Batman or something. 116 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.720 Now, does anyone going to hire him? Yes? No, I don't 117 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.879 know, But we should go to break. I should go to break because 118 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.399 we don't know the answer, so we should just go. We'll talk about 119 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.480 something else. We're going to talk about the box office and the movies we 120 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.519 saw right after the break when we checked the traffic. Joe Ascalante Live from 121 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.440 Hollywood, Scilant Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood you mean Burbank. I'm here 122 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.679 with Sam and producer Nikki, and we were talking about the business end of 123 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.519 show business, and some big business in show business is always the box office. 124 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.039 So let's take a look at the top ones and then we'll see if 125 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:24.200 anybody saw anything this week. Number one, no surprises here. Walt Disney's 126 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.519 Inside Out does thirty million, sorry, two hundred and eighty five total, 127 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.759 but thirty million for the week. Bad Boys coming into five million, so 128 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.200 it really drops off after the Inside Out. Everybody wanted to see Inside Out. 129 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.679 And then after that it was you know two. Number three The Bike 130 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:50.559 Riders, that movie about a motorcycle gang called the Vandals, and got some 131 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.279 intellectual property problems in that movie. Because they're now releasing jackets and I know 132 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.679 a punk band that has a trademark on jackets that say the Vandals in them. 133 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.200 So they're in trouble. We'll see how they react to our season desist 134 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.840 letter. Number First of all, if you're making a movie and your biker 135 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.799 gang is called the Vandals, it's just too like on the nose, all 136 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.879 right. There's nothing clever there, there's nothing original, and there's already a 137 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.440 band called that that some could call a gang so vicious and formidable. It 138 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.440 just shows a lack of a lack of imagination from focus features the Bike Riders, 139 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.000 So I don't recommend it. Number four the Garfield movie very original. 140 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.919 I mean, whoever heard of a cat that could talk? Or I don't 141 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.519 know if he moves his lips? Does Garfield move his lips or he just 142 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.480 thinks in the movie he does, now he does, okay. Number five 143 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.600 Kingdom of the Plan of the Apes still hanging on like that. That tells 144 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.279 you that's a good movie. Number six, The Exorcism. You know we're 145 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.200 going to talk about that in a little bit. Number seven. If we're 146 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.200 going to talk about that too, then the rest of them get in a 147 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.399 big goop of furiosa. The fall Guy, the Watchers, blah blah blah 148 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.519 blah blah blah blah. Sam, did you see a movie? I did 149 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.120 not. I stayed in and you know, I had a couple of family 150 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.919 crises come up, so I had to kind of park it a little bit 151 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.120 for the week. Interesting. What kind of car do you drive? Oh? 152 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.440 Not? I did not get the new one. We're picking it up 153 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:37.840 on Monday. All right, Cool, that was forgot. Did anyone watch 154 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.120 the John Mulaney Netflix special? Oh? I did not yet. I saw 155 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.759 some clips from it, but I did not see it in full. He 156 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.440 takes calls, and one of the things he does when he takes calls when 157 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.360 he's tired of the person, he asked what kind of car they drive? 158 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.039 And that's how it gets rid of him. I'll just try and get out 159 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.720 on you, Sam. Don't mean any harm. Okay, So NICKI did 160 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:05.000 you go to the movies? I did not go to the movies this week, 161 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.200 but my close friend Eli's been going to double and triple features at the 162 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.600 new Beverly Cinema pretty much every single day since moving here. He moved to 163 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.440 La I think a week and a half ago, and I swear to God, 164 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.360 I'm surprised that he has now seen more of the city that I grew 165 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.679 up in than I have, because he's driving from from like lower than Torrents 166 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:35.039 to just watch triple features. I did not join him this week. I 167 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.480 do plan on joining him next week, but I did rewatch Sophia Coppolas Mary 168 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.879 Antoinette. I love that movie. Watched it at home. Okay, I 169 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.639 haven't seen it. That's a good record. He's one of my favorite directors. 170 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.960 It's a masterpiece. And the standout thing to me about that movie is 171 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:56.799 the soundtrack. The soundtrack is a mix of sort of baroque music and then 172 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:03.159 what's the word modern music that sounds kind of baroke, a lot of Aphex 173 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:09.200 Twins, Susie and the Bansheese mixed in with like Harpsichord. So fascinating portrait 174 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.240 of vary. Antoinette's like girlhood and part of the reason that this movie, 175 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.399 I think is going to be more popular in the next few months is because 176 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.000 of the Charlie XCX album that just came out two weeks ago, and how 177 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.679 I think pivotal that album is going to be on like girls between maybe fifteen 178 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.440 and twenty nine for the next year, including myself. You don't have to 179 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.080 tell Sam and me about that. We were going to talk about that same 180 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.440 subject just in the next in the mixt Pert. I'm glad you brought it 181 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.799 up. I'm glad you took it. I'm glad you took it upon yourself 182 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.799 to talk about the Charlie xx album and what impact it would have on young 183 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.200 girls because now we don't have to do it. Sam, are you relieved? 184 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.039 I am. And I had like a full, like like extra paragraph 185 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.080 written on this one. Oh god, I'm so sorry. I stole your 186 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.879 thunder there a little bit. But that's okay, we'll get over it. 187 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.240 What do you think of Sophia Coppola for as director of the Sublime movie? 188 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.879 Oh? I actually didn't know about that. Well, I mean, there 189 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.559 is a Sublime movie that's shooting by the end of the year, but they 190 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.200 lost the director and now we're looking for a new one. So I'm just 191 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.840 I'm just running. I see I'm all for it. That sounds like it 192 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.960 would be kind of beautiful and moody. Yeah, look that you guys are 193 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.360 looking for for sublime, I think that'd be cool. Yeah, beautiful and 194 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.759 moody. I think beautiful moody is pretty much it. Okay, I'm gonna 195 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.879 put that one in my my suggestion box. What about? Okay, So 196 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.360 what movies did Joe see? Oh? Well, Joe saw movie. Joe 197 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.720 actually went to a theater and he saw the movie If. How much time 198 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.080 do we have, Sam? We got about three minutes. Okay, that's 199 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.399 not enough to tell you how much I loved the movie If. But I'll 200 00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.200 try to do a little bit of justice to this movie. The movie he's 201 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.600 quat. Uh you know it has it's it's about I don't know if you 202 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.679 know what it is, but I'll tell you what it's about. It's about 203 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:15.919 a kind of a society of imaginary friends. Oh, I've heard about this. 204 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.200 Yeah. No, it's the one that reminded me of the old movie 205 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:26.440 Drop Dead Fred I could see that. But it's it's a like John Krasinski. 206 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.600 He wrote it and he directed it. Yeah, and he plays like 207 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.679 a guy. It's in charge of all these imaginary friends and he helps this 208 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:40.639 little girl who lost her mother, and you know, there's a lot of 209 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.159 sadness in it, but the girl is so good. Now, some of 210 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:49.039 these movies that are coming out in this woke era, you think, oh, 211 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.399 of course they have a girl, because you can't have a little boy 212 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.519 anymore. And everything's got to be a girl. Every every hero's got heroin's 213 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.440 going to be they're always and you might think that that they'refre sing this in 214 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.160 here, but some of these roles, and you might be right, But 215 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:10.559 in some of these roles, it's the girl is the right choice. She 216 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.480 was. It's just like, you know, that kind of a tender story 217 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.720 that a girl that if it was a boy, it just wouldn't have the 218 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:26.960 same impact. And then sometimes there's like dance numbers in a in a movie, 219 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.039 and if you have a girl that can really dance, it's just a 220 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.039 bonus. And the guy. If a little boy dances, hey, he 221 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.519 goes home and he gets beat up by his friends. I don't know if 222 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:45.000 you know that that's what happens. But anyways, if is from Paramount Pictures, 223 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.799 and I definitely recommend it, and you, I mean, you can 224 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.839 bring the whole family. Of course, it's like it's for kids but also 225 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.559 for adults and lots of fun and Paramount Pictures. Isn't weird that, Like, 226 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.640 you know, they have so much financial trouble, but they come up 227 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:06.720 with these amazing movies like, uh, Tim, what's his name? Uh 228 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:14.960 the I'm such a loser, Tim Cruise. What's a Tim Cruise movie? 229 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:23.720 Name? Name of Tim Cruise movie? Oh, top Gun Tomise? No? 230 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:29.279 No, his brother Tim Cruise? Yeah yeah, I thought that was 231 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.359 his cousins, but that's actually Stewie Cruise. Yeah, okay, okay, 232 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:41.039 yeah Tom Cruise, Tom Yeah, Tom Cruise made how much money do you 233 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.599 make for Paramount? So much? And then this movie is doing really well, 234 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.200 and but they still can't make any money over there. They can't figure 235 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.680 out how to make ends meet. So they're trying to sell and they were 236 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:59.400 gonna sell to the Ellison kid and he the deal fell apart, and now 237 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.799 they're looking for other people to buy Paramount and Paramount. When you say Paramount, 238 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:11.160 you also mean CBS and Viacom And problem with them, most people say, 239 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.119 is their streaming service, Paramount Plus is going to lose so much money 240 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:21.599 for so many years that who's who wants to buy it. On the other 241 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.759 hand, have you heard about this number here? Wait a secon. We 242 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.279 got a break coming up here. Someone else is buying something that's very interesting 243 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.720 and this is going to blow your mind. After we check the traffic and 244 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:40.839 the news on Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood. Joe's Galante Live from Hollywood. If 245 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:47.440 by Hollywood you mean Burbank, I have Nikki producer Nikki and you. You 246 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.000 go to the movie still and Sam, you live on top of a movie 247 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:56.079 theater. I have great movie theater news for you, the Alamo theaters. 248 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.319 Do you guys like the Alamo theaters? Yeah, I've I went to see 249 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.519 None two at the Alamoo Draft House, North Carolina, once otherwise known as 250 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:14.759 Monhads. How was that movie? I walked out? Yeah, don't I 251 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.160 walked out? Yeah, I don't blame you. I think they were only 252 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.920 yeah, about five minutes left. But I couldn't do it. I just 253 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.359 couldn't take one minute more. Oh my gosh, that's like me and the 254 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.279 Killer under the Flower Moon or whatever that one those. I couldn't take it 255 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.680 any longer. I left. So the Alamo. The Alamo theaters started in 256 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.920 Austin. I believe the first one I saw was in Austin, Texas, 257 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:47.880 and it was like the first movie that had waitresses and waiters and bringing you 258 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.000 pretty good food to your to these little tables they were. The one in 259 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.799 Austin has like it's like a lecture hall with the tables in front of you, 260 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.720 like you would do your homework on it or take your notes, and 261 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.200 they would come. There was enough room for them to slip in between the 262 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.680 rows. Now I know there's a lot of theaters that do this, but 263 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.240 it was so novel and so much fun that I would go to the movies 264 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:15.440 every time that I would go to Austin, Texas because it was so thrilling. 265 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.559 And then they know, they showed regular movies, but they always had 266 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:27.319 a good reputation for curating movies and having a vintage movie parties and theme parties. 267 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.319 They played a documentary about the Smiths once at the Austin One, and 268 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:40.640 my Morrissey tribute band played on the stage at the Austin Alamo right after the 269 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:47.119 screening of the film. So fun stuff like that. But and then they 270 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:48.599 I mean, it was so much fun when I found out that they were 271 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:56.319 expanding and going franchising or not franchng, just kind of going nationwide. I 272 00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.000 got so excited. Then they built one in Los Angeles. Have you guys 273 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.000 been to the one in Los Angeles? Is that where you saw mon hot 274 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.240 Dos? No? That was I saw it in North Carolina when I was 275 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.000 there lust couple of months. And now I haven't been to the one in 276 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.920 la Oh my gosh, Sam, how about you? No, I haven't. 277 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.480 I am not cool enough. This is terrible. When you go there. 278 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.519 As soon as you get in, you're gonna go. You're just gonna 279 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.400 go. I am home. Like if you like movies, you're just home, 280 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.240 just like these people like movies. I like movies. The best collection 281 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:30.359 of movie posters in any theater in the world. The posters, some of 282 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.480 them are like, you know, those big giant French ones. There's a 283 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.440 lot of those Japanese ones. And it's like a museum for movie posters almost. 284 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:44.720 And they have a bar downstairs that hipsters can go and hang out in 285 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.880 and gift shop and they, you know, have a real bar where they're 286 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.200 having you know, karaoke and stuff like that. And then you go up 287 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:57.039 the stairs where the movie theaters are and the food is top shelf, so 288 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.440 it's real food. It's not cheap food. It's real food. It's very 289 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.039 good, and they come and bring it to you. They might bring you 290 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:11.559 some candy too, and all kinds of parties. I went, Sam, 291 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:18.079 you'll probably remember this. I went and saw the movie about cats. Oh 292 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.720 yeah, cats, the musical Oh nice, Yeah. And you were encouraged 293 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.839 to shout at the screen because it was so awful awesome. And they served 294 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.920 drinks in cat bolls. Oh, and you were supposed to dress up like 295 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.680 a cat. You could even dress up like a kittler if you wanted to. 296 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.559 Did any did anyone try? No. The last time I dressed up 297 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.759 like a kittler, I realized there was a kid's Halloween party and mostly and 298 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.920 nobody young, nobody was feeling my costume. Nobody even knew what I was 299 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:59.240 dressed like, except for a very popular rock musician named Shifty shell Shock, 300 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.359 who happened to be there. He said to me, so, what do 301 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.640 you use? Some sort of hitler cat? Yeah, something like that. 302 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.519 So I don't allow photos of me on Halloween, so you're not don't look 303 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:18.640 online, you won't see it. Okay, So anyway, the Alamo it 304 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.559 expands and it gets big. But then all of a sudden, the COVID 305 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:32.359 comes and in July of what was about twenty twenty, they laid off a 306 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.720 ton of people. Then in twenty one they announced their plans for Chapter eleven 307 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:44.079 bankruptcy, and then they do all this reorganization and you think it's going to 308 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:51.440 disappear, but lo and behold, they are purchased by Sony Pictures. So 309 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.039 Sony is now going to own a chain of movie theaters called the Alamo Draft 310 00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:03.480 House. I'm very excited. I just I think that's a positive thing. 311 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.720 Can you guys see anything wrong with this? This is a test. I 312 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.759 mean it's probably gonna limit the films they're going to be able to show there, 313 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:18.119 right, Oh, very good, very good. That's what they That's 314 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.440 what the normally. Why there was this thing called the Consent Decree. I 315 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.400 think it was even like a paramount consent to career or something in the thirties 316 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.599 where they they said a movie studio cannot own a theater, because what was 317 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.599 happening back then is the movie theaters. The movie studios were like, well, 318 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.480 why don't we buy up a bunch of movie theaters? See and then 319 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.440 we'll put our own movies in these, see, and then well then we'll 320 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:47.039 be on top of the world's that's what was going on because that's what they 321 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.200 talked like back then, and so the and they did that, and they 322 00:25:52.279 --> 00:26:00.000 just said and they would they would squeeze out any smaller movies and there wasn't 323 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:10.160 good for society, so they they stopped doing that. And then now movie 324 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:15.200 theaters are tanking so like actually it was Donald Trump in his last term that 325 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.240 got rid of that consent decree and he was like, what is this. 326 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.240 This is stupid, This is so stupid. Here, why are we you 327 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:23.960 know, why are we letting these movie theaters go bankrupt? So he got 328 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.480 rid of it, and then everyone thought, well, the movie theaters would 329 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.200 rush to buy or the movie studios would rush to buy movie theaters. But 330 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:41.480 did they No, nobody wanted the movie theaters. You can see like Netflix 331 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.319 or somebody buying one theater so that they can go, or like the required 332 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.240 number of theaters so that they can be have their movies become OSCAR eligible. 333 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.079 You should be a Netflix executive, because that's exactly what they did. Yeah, 334 00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.200 thank you. A couple of theaters and then they played. I think 335 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.559 there's one in or Brentwood or something like that, and they play and then 336 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.359 yeah, they'll they'll do the required exhibition of their movies if they want to 337 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:15.200 get them in the theaters or and then for Oscar nominations. But Sony says 338 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.920 they're going to keep the branding. It's not gonna be Sony's Alamo, and 339 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.640 it's in their interest they say to have all the movies play. So but 340 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:33.119 I think it might affect how Sony like right now, I'm in the middle 341 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.599 of a movie deal and the big, the big, the big concern is 342 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.000 is this going to Netflix or a streamer or is it going into the theaters. 343 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.680 If it goes to Netflix, you know, it's kind of there's a 344 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.440 lot of advantages. You know, you don't have to worry about the theater. 345 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.960 What if it's a flop, and then my movie is is is uh, 346 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.319 you know, tied to this negative story about that it was a flop. 347 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.599 If it goes on Netflix, it's just like, how was it it 348 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.799 was a Netflix? Yeah, it's good. It's a big success. And 349 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.519 then you get paid in advance for your profits. You don't have to look 350 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:10.680 at statements or the rest of your life, you know, calculating how many 351 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.000 how much money came from each theater, which is a bizarre way to do 352 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.720 business anyway. But the reason why they're doing well with their movie studio and 353 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.400 this stuff is they don't have a streamer. They're not spending one cent on 354 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:27.079 streaming, on launching a streamer. They're just a pure studio and they sell 355 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.240 their movies to, you know, the highest bidder. They don't have a 356 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.759 streaming system. So but now they have a theater. The only person that 357 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:40.319 can afford the only movie studio that can afford a movie theater is Sony, 358 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.920 one that doesn't have a streamer. But the cost of having a streamer is 359 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:52.400 so astronomical. Sony could buy every movie theater in the country, I think, 360 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:59.200 and still not lose as much money as people pour into streamers that are 361 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.960 unprofitable. All right, I think we'll take a break and we'll come back 362 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.319 and we'll just blow your mind with some more Hollywood stuff on Joe Sclante Live 363 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:33.960 from Hollywood, Right, yeah, Joe Ascolante, here's my lloya. You 364 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:40.599 don't want money, he does it at all. Joe'sclante Live from Hollywood by 365 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:42.559 Hollywood. You mean bird Bank. We are talking about the movie still, 366 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.640 And did anyone see the Exorcism movie? I know you didn't. I don't 367 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.359 even know if it's out yet, but there's an interesting review about it in 368 00:29:52.400 --> 00:30:02.119 the Variety. Actually, no, everybody's favorite, Yeah, everybody's favorite scandal 369 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:06.680 sheet Nikki, you saw the original Extricist movie? Probably, Oh, of 370 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.680 course, Yeah, but I haven't seen I think I've seen maybe one of 371 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.039 the other ones. But at some point I'm over the projectile vama. I 372 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.799 can watch something else, right, right, right, Well, this article 373 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.839 is interesting because it talks about, like, you know, the country's fascination 374 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:32.119 with extorcism movies and the one with Russell Crowe that's just coming out, and 375 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.039 then why you know how we got here Exorcist? Like to the believer, 376 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.359 I think that was the one with Ellen Burston, who was the original mother 377 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.119 in the original Extressist movie. That one was not that successful, although I 378 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.559 saw it and you know, it didn't bother me that much. The first 379 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.480 one freaked me out so much that I had to miss school for a week 380 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.559 and I was hallucinating on the couch. It's not a lot hallucinating on the 381 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:04.880 couch for like five days. Yeah, that was that's a masterpiece. Now 382 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.079 they're just talking about like why do we have so many and some of one 383 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:14.920 of the theories is like people believe if the devil is here, then God 384 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.359 might be here too, because God goes hand in him with the devil and 385 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:26.039 ah, you know, that's interesting to come out of variety. But the 386 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:33.200 article kind of just says, well, the is this a sign of a 387 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.200 career gone to hell? As one of the headlines, because Russell Crowe is 388 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:38.559 like, what are you doing? What are you doing with this stuff? 389 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.200 Everyone's sick of it. Nobody cares anymore. It's kind of it's just kind 390 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.599 of it's kind of like low hanging fruit. You know, a scary movie. 391 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.240 What about a girl possessed by the devil, or even a boy? 392 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.759 How about a late how about a a dog possessed by the devil? How 393 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.720 about a cocaine bear possessed by the devil? Hey, cocaine bear was something 394 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.279 else. Yeah, we're big fans on the show The Cocaine Bear. Don't 395 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:06.160 get me wrong. All right, all right, but now it's interesting to 396 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.039 me about this movie, and then I'll stop talking about it. It's a 397 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:14.880 movie about an actor playing a priest in an Exorcist movie and all the things 398 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.000 that are happening on the set. So that's a different twist. I might 399 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.559 want to see that because there is like one of those stories about the Curse 400 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.759 of the Exorcist movie, like a lot of bad things happened to other people 401 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:32.200 that were on it. But that's like the what is it the Halloween movies? 402 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.359 Isn't it the seventh one that it gets kind of meta? Oh? 403 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.680 Yeah, I don't. I don't know. No Nightmare on Elm Street. 404 00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:46.319 That's the one, The Nightmare on Elm Street. There's there's so many of 405 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:50.640 those movies, and I think one of the later ones is kind of self 406 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.480 referential in the same way. So maybe they're kind of playing on that idea. 407 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.240 Yeah, maybe that's when they run out of ideas and then they go 408 00:32:55.319 --> 00:33:00.200 meta. Could be all right. And then the last thing we're going to 409 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:05.799 talk about in the movie division is Francis Ford Coppola's movie Remember how we stopped, 410 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.480 Remember how we talked about this and they went to can Film Festival. 411 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:15.319 Cost one hundred and twenty million dollars. It's a weird movie. How do 412 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.359 you make your money back on one hundred and twenty million dollars movie. You 413 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.400 know, you go to Can to make a deal. The Can Film Festival 414 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:28.480 is a film market and people go there every year and they try to sell 415 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:34.359 their movies, sell future movies, sell movies they already have showcase movies that 416 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.400 might already have distribution. But mainly the idea is, you know, hey, 417 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.240 my movie did really good at Con, it won the Jury Prize or 418 00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:47.000 whatever, and who wants to buy it. No one's going to pay one 419 00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.200 hundred and twenty million dollars for Francis Ford Coppola is weird movie. So he 420 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.519 used a lot of his own money to make it, evidently, and now 421 00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.880 the big news is he got a distribute. I'm actually really excited about this 422 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.360 because from what I understand, this movie is nuts. Yeah, and a 423 00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:12.760 movie that's nuts people don't go to. But you know what, if you 424 00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.519 think about it, everything everywhere all at once. That was nuts. Yeah. 425 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.920 A few people went, and then when it won the Academy Award, 426 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.000 more people went. So this movie could win an Oscar and maybe they're banking 427 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.360 on that that if they can just hang on, this is me at Lionsgate. 428 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.280 Look, people, I know you think I just made the worst deal 429 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.639 on Earth. We could just hang on to Oxcar season. We're gonna get 430 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.559 people in the seats and then we'll have the streaming rights and we'll get our 431 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.920 on hundred and twenty million dollars back. Trust me, yeah, trust me. 432 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:53.679 You see so this But here, here's the deal. They didn't pay 433 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.400 the whole. They're not even paying for all the distribution. Francis for a 434 00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.880 couple has to pay some of it. So, like you know, it's 435 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:07.719 gonna take twenty million dollars in marketing. Francis Ford Cookpool has to pick up 436 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:13.800 some of that. So it's coming out, and you know he's doing it. 437 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.719 He wanted to do it, He's gonna do it. He's gonna pay 438 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.119 for it. What does he care. He has a bunch of money and 439 00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.079 he's just gonna go for it. Good for him. Well, I'm one 440 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:29.480 hundred percent behind this. I will see that movie in the theater. Good 441 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:30.760 for you. Yeah, well, maybe it'll bring more people back to the 442 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.719 theater because who wants to wait? Who wants to watch this on your phone? 443 00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.039 Yeah I'm good, go to the theater and watch it. I mean, 444 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.320 if I'm gonna get Amendment out of you, Nikki and your boyfriend to 445 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.519 go see this in the theater. You can. I will make him go 446 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:52.599 watch it with me with pleasure and joy. You hear about the Queen Catalog? 447 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:58.519 No, oh yeah, Queen Catalog because he sold it, sold the 448 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:05.559 catalog. It's being acquired by who our favorite people, Sony Sony Music, 449 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:13.079 paying around one point two seven billion dollars for the rights to the catalog of 450 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:22.760 the Queen rock band, which classic hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody and I Will 451 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:30.239 Always Love You Sorry Now, Bohemian Rhapsody another and Sinead O'Connor, I Think 452 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:37.519 another one bites the Dust, Radio Gaga, Somebody to Love, You're My 453 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.440 Best Friend. These are just a few of the hot of the hits that 454 00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:46.719 bottom girls. What about the perennial stadium Shaker, we Will Rock You, 455 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:53.800 seging into we are the Champions? Those could be yours? One billion dollars, 456 00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:59.239 Yeah, I get it. One other player is said to been closet 457 00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:01.920 in the bidding, but that player stopped at nine hundred million. Like nine 458 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.559 hundred million is all I will pay for these stupid songs. They're good songs, 459 00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:13.159 don't get me wrong. So what does that mean when someone sells their 460 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:19.119 publishing. It can mean a lot of things. You're really selling the right 461 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.239 to the income for your publishing now if you hot, but what if you 462 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:28.239 already sold your publishing and you might have had a co publishing deal. So 463 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:37.480 whatever whatever percentage that queen owns of their of their catalog, they're going to 464 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.119 get an advance on it or they're just selling it out right. So we 465 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:44.320 don't really know if this is an advance on their share of it or if 466 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:49.079 they're buying it out right and they'll never get another penny from those songs. 467 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:55.159 But when they're played on television or on the radio, there's something called a 468 00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.320 performance royalty that is generated now that is split between the publisher and the writer, 469 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.920 so the writer can never really get rid of that. That writer's always 470 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.800 going to share. And that was like a system made so that, you 471 00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.760 know, blues musicians don't just sell all their rights for twenty dollars. They 472 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:16.400 are always going to have their writer's income from a public exhibition of these songs 473 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.719 in the stadiums like that, we will rock you stuff in the stadiums. 474 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.360 But so it doesn't we don't really know, and you know, I'll dig 475 00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:30.159 into this as as the deal's not done yet either. Where's that money going. 476 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.559 Let's say you got a billion dollars is it going? Is it going 477 00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:40.079 to a publishing house that already bought half of their publishing. That's likely someone 478 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.639 owns half their publishing and five hundred millions going to them, and the other 479 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:53.119 five hundred million is going to the band. So it's not really clear. 480 00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.320 It is clear that whoever is purchasing whatever rights are, whatever rights they're getting, 481 00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:02.880 they're willing to pay one billion dollars for. But who's getting it is 482 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:09.199 another story? All right, what's about it for this segment? There's always 483 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:15.199 more one way or the other. Check out the podcast Joe Sclante Life from 484 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.880 Hollywood if you want to hear this again or missed anything.
