Speaker 1: It's time for what you watch it Wednesday. The following
Speaker 1: program is brought to you in living color, but you're
Speaker 1: watching in the Americans love television.
Speaker 2: They win their kids USA television.
Speaker 3: You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 1: Well, Hacks season four trailer is out. I just watched.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really tell you much.
Speaker 2: No, but it's back to where everything right. They're now
Speaker 2: at each other's throats again.
Speaker 4: Yes, which is always fun, and then they make up,
Speaker 4: and then they're back at each other's throats and then
Speaker 4: they make up. And it's the seasoned veteran and the
Speaker 4: new one who wants to be a disruptor, and they
Speaker 4: both learn from each other and it's beautiful and it's funny.
Speaker 2: I believe that show was, at least in recent memory,
Speaker 2: is the one that I was least looking forward to
Speaker 2: and have been most pleasantly surprised by. Well, you don't
Speaker 2: like women part of it? Part, that's part of it.
Speaker 2: I have two lead roles with my golf.
Speaker 4: And they don't even get nakedly doing it, folks.
Speaker 1: But no, it was.
Speaker 2: It was incredibly smart and I don't mean that to
Speaker 2: play on jeans. You like, you like the writing Yeah,
Speaker 2: the writing is great, some of the characters are unusual, and.
Speaker 4: You weren't insinuating that a show about women would not
Speaker 4: be smart, is what I'm trying.
Speaker 1: To clean, right. I would never say anything like that
Speaker 1: out loud. That would be all I'm like Reacher, that's
Speaker 1: a real mensa convention.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I gotta be honest with you. I'm trying.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to Alan Richson is just a
Speaker 2: weirdly beast of a man, but I just.
Speaker 5: Is.
Speaker 2: And this is the thing is the source material is
Speaker 2: so good. The Lee Child's whole, the whole series of
Speaker 2: Jack Reacher novels are really great.
Speaker 1: They're fun to read. It's just it's easy to get into.
Speaker 2: Man paring it down to an eight episode something where
Speaker 2: the production value just isn't as high as I would
Speaker 2: have expected it to be. It's not it's not great.
Speaker 1: I remember my uncle Jim.
Speaker 4: He loved reading those books, love Jack Reacher, and was
Speaker 4: apoplectic when Tom.
Speaker 1: Cruise was cast in the movies because.
Speaker 4: He's like the antithesis of how Jack Reacher is described
Speaker 4: in the book, which is this character.
Speaker 2: Well, we've talked, We've talked many times about in top gun.
Speaker 2: They had to put Tom Cruise on boxes. I mean
Speaker 2: they had to bring in extra stage equipment. He's a
Speaker 2: Canadian because he's not very tall, and he had to
Speaker 2: appear like he was going to be tall enough to
Speaker 2: fly in flying a fighter jet like that. I just finished. Okay,
Speaker 2: this was on Netflix a few weeks old, two three
Speaker 2: weeks old, so I get it. But Robert de Niro,
Speaker 2: Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, Jesse Plemmons, all of these great
Speaker 2: actors in Zero Day. The basic synopsis a terrorist attack,
Speaker 2: a cyber attack actually just for one minute, ends up
Speaker 2: killing a few thousand people in the United States, where
Speaker 2: everything gets shuts off. It gets shut off and then
Speaker 2: turned back on, and the current president played by Angela Bassett,
Speaker 2: brings in the former president played by Robert de Niro
Speaker 2: to come in and lead the commission that's going to
Speaker 2: do the investigation. Eight episodes, pretty good, or it's six episodes. Sorry,
Speaker 2: it's six episodes, each of them about an hour long,
Speaker 2: so it's it's easily digesting the course of a week.
Speaker 1: They like, there's things that happen, there's.
Speaker 2: Things that happen, there's characters that you can't quite figure out.
Speaker 2: Are they good guy bad guy kind of stuff? So
Speaker 2: some of that is is good. De Nio does fine.
Speaker 2: It's interesting because he's been making headlines more for his
Speaker 2: political stances lately and his feuds with President Trump, and
Speaker 2: he gets to play the president or in this case,
Speaker 2: a former president. But it's it's good. It's not the
Speaker 2: greatest thriller that I've ever seen. It's not even you know,
Speaker 2: there's there's more interesting terrorist attack style, you know, high
Speaker 2: level of government doing the Did you.
Speaker 4: Find it to be dumbed down more so than it
Speaker 4: would have been if it was a major motion picture.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think they would have to dumb it
Speaker 2: down more to make a picture. Okay, yeah, to cut
Speaker 2: out because you know it's six hours total. If they
Speaker 2: did it in two two fifteen, some of it would
Speaker 2: have been dumbed down even more.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Lizzie Kaplan plays de Niro's daughter in this who happens
Speaker 2: to also be a congresswoman.
Speaker 4: I just feel like there's this thing that's going on,
Speaker 4: and maybe it's just my skewed opinion, but shows like Paradise,
Speaker 4: the Agent.
Speaker 1: Show, What was the Agent Show?
Speaker 4: Something A Night Agent, it's like they're taking these concepts
Speaker 4: of secret agents or national security, and it's almost comical
Speaker 4: how much they are dumbed down when you're you know,
Speaker 4: the communication and how things would work and.
Speaker 1: All of it, the.
Speaker 4: Logistical pla all, it's just so dumbed down. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if that's just because these are streaming shows,
Speaker 4: so there's or if we've just been completely spoiled with
Speaker 4: wonderful show Homeland or what have you that are super
Speaker 4: smart and the writing is on point, and it's it's
Speaker 4: it's you got to your head's on a swivel and
Speaker 4: you're you're constantly thinking when you're watching these things.
Speaker 1: If we've just been spoiled with a number of those,
Speaker 1: it's I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2: But if you just look at the difference between Night Agent,
Speaker 2: which is on Netflix, and Zero Day, which is also
Speaker 2: on Netflix, Night Agent looks like it's done by a
Speaker 2: a very low level production.
Speaker 1: Company a lot and that's not Netflix.
Speaker 2: I mean, they have plenty of money, because Netflix also
Speaker 2: did Zero Day, which had incredible production. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 2: just weird of the difference. And I don't know if
Speaker 2: a lot of it has to do with the source material,
Speaker 2: you know, whatever story creator came up with the ideas, and.
Speaker 4: Then I point to, you know, the Mark Wahlberg movie
Speaker 4: Flight Risk, same thing, super dumb, no budget, bad writing.
Speaker 1: AI could have done it, And I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, what this had the This had the potential to
Speaker 4: be something really great. It just seems like there's like
Speaker 4: a phoning it in kind of element when it comes
Speaker 4: to how smart things are.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, hello, I just don't know if
Speaker 3: I missed the bus on this one, but I guess
Speaker 3: it's what you watch on Wednesday. Just checked out the
Speaker 3: movie on Netflix. On the line, mel Gibson, pretty pretty interesting, anyways,
Speaker 3: have a good day.
Speaker 2: On the youtwo on the line referring to like a
Speaker 2: caller on the line, I've seen it.
Speaker 1: I watched it.
Speaker 2: Elvis Clooney is this shock jock in La He and
Speaker 2: his wife leaves his wife and daughter to go to
Speaker 2: work overnight at a radio station, and Elvis played by
Speaker 2: mel Gibson, gets a call from somebody named Gary claims
Speaker 2: to be at his house holding his wife and daughter hostage.
Speaker 4: It was yeah, I mean, listen, I don't want to
Speaker 4: knock anything you enjoy, but it was pretty bad. It's
Speaker 4: pretty predictable and kind of weak and I mean again,
Speaker 4: it's like the Mark Wahlberg movie. I love mel Gibson
Speaker 4: and in movies, and I love Mark Wahlberg. It's just
Speaker 4: sometimes when you get a big name like that, you
Speaker 4: don't feel like you have to do much else more.
Speaker 4: What you watch on Wednesday? When we come back to
Speaker 4: Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 1: That little guy the Penguin? Is that what you've been doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gary and Shannon KF I am six forty Live
Speaker 2: Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. A couple of big deals
Speaker 2: that we're watching. When it comes to what you watch
Speaker 2: on Wednesday? What are you watching?
Speaker 3: Hey, Gary, Shannon, this is Kevin from Tullavista. Kevin, I'm
Speaker 3: really enjoying Paradise on Hulu. Me too, have a good day.
Speaker 1: I like that. I just finished it. Tell me is
Speaker 1: it a thriller? I can't. I know nothing about it.
Speaker 1: James Marsden and Sterling k. Brown.
Speaker 4: It is a thriller and it gets you from go.
Speaker 4: I'll say that like, it's not one of those you
Speaker 4: have to watch four episodes to get involved. It gets
Speaker 4: you from go. And if you like Stirling Kate Brown,
Speaker 4: that's really all you need to know. And who doesn't
Speaker 4: like him.
Speaker 1: Just James Marsden play the president. He does and he's
Speaker 1: great to love James Marston.
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, guys, for what you watch on Wednesday. I
Speaker 6: literally just binged a Running Point on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Loved it.
Speaker 6: Phenomenal comedy, hilarious, It's just really well written, it's smart,
Speaker 6: and they just renewed it for season two, so that's great.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 6: And if you like Arrested Development or anything in that vein,
Speaker 6: you'll love this.
Speaker 1: Se Gary and Channon, This is David and OC.
Speaker 3: I've been cracking up watching Running Point with Kate Hudson
Speaker 3: on Netflix. Turns out Mindy Kaling shows are hilarious when
Speaker 3: she's not in them.
Speaker 1: Hope you guys check it out. She's a great writer.
Speaker 4: I mean, she's so good at what she does, and
Speaker 4: it's you watch a Mendy show and you know it's
Speaker 4: her behind it.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 4: I love anything Kate Hudson is in, so I'll watch
Speaker 4: Paint Dry if she's in because she's just I just
Speaker 4: really adore her.
Speaker 2: My wife and I came to the conclusion that Kate
Speaker 2: Hudson reminds us of your sister.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Yeah, I can see what you're talking about
Speaker 4: in this particular show.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, I can see that Kate Hudson is
Speaker 2: the daughter of a patriarchal family that takes over her
Speaker 2: father's basketball franchise. Yes, it is modeled after the Lakers,
Speaker 2: that Genie Buss took over after doctor Buss died, and
Speaker 2: that there are other brothers that are involved in the
Speaker 2: whole thing. It's because Genie Buss is one of the
Speaker 2: executive producers on the show, so it's clearly modeled after that.
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's just fun. And I blew through it
Speaker 1: in like a day.
Speaker 2: Another one of those that's a half an hour episode
Speaker 2: of it's so easy to get through.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, for what you're watching Wednesday, I know you're
Speaker 7: big fans of Tombstone as am I and I found
Speaker 7: a documentary on Netflix called Wye erp and the Cowboy
Speaker 7: War and it goes into great detail about the actual
Speaker 7: events that went down, and it's interesting to see what
Speaker 7: they got right in the movie and what they enhanced
Speaker 7: or got wrong completely. So check it out. I think
Speaker 7: you like it.
Speaker 4: That would get the AIDS nonon And.
Speaker 5: I know it's early, but for what's your watch and Wednesday,
Speaker 5: I just watched Last Take, which is the documentary on
Speaker 5: Hala Hutchins, the cinematographer from Rust. Oh my goodness, holy hell.
Speaker 5: It should be viewing for every person.
Speaker 1: Ever involved on a film set.
Speaker 5: It is tragic, horrifying, but really a good watch for her.
Speaker 1: All right, have a great day again.
Speaker 2: It's called Last Take Rust and the Story of Helena.
Speaker 2: And this is, of course, the woman that was killed
Speaker 2: when Alec Baldwin shot that gun on the set.
Speaker 1: I haven't taken a look at their reality.
Speaker 2: Show, so I saw about fifteen minutes of it, and
Speaker 2: first of all, he looks really old, really old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does not well.
Speaker 2: And his kids are all, like every single kid looked
Speaker 2: like they were four or five years old, and there's
Speaker 2: a million of them, and he just seemed annoyed at
Speaker 2: all of them.
Speaker 1: He always seems like that, doesn't he It's.
Speaker 2: Just if you're going to put yourself on a reality
Speaker 2: TV show like that, don't be an a hole to
Speaker 2: your own kids. Ninety five percent of the time. She
Speaker 2: also seems she has that sort of have you seen
Speaker 2: any of the Megan I don't know what it's called,
Speaker 2: The Megan Show on Netflix now, Princess or whatever, married
Speaker 2: to Harry Yea, she seemed they seem cut from the
Speaker 2: same cloth where they're trying to make it sound like, Ugh,
Speaker 2: I just adore my children, and I've always found that
Speaker 2: the best way to treat them is with a rainbow
Speaker 2: platter of sliced fruits or something like that. Just completely fake,
Speaker 2: completely out of touch with reality, and able to afford
Speaker 2: a lot of help for their kids, to make it
Speaker 2: seem like they're doing at all, doing it all. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't if you want to. If you want to
Speaker 2: get your you know, your your dander up, watch that ball.
Speaker 4: I love getting my dander up. And then I'm going
Speaker 4: to get my dander up a little bit later. I
Speaker 4: haven't decided yet
