Speaker 1: It's time for what you're watching Wednesday. Follow is brought
Speaker 1: to you in living color, but you're watching in there.
Speaker 1: Americans love television. They win their kids USA Television, Mancha Beta.
Speaker 2: You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 3: The Angels game has been on. That's what we're watching
Speaker 3: here in the studio, among other things. And if they
Speaker 3: go to extra innings again. The Angels have won two
Speaker 3: in a row in Saint Louis in extra innings and
Speaker 3: they're tied at five right now in the bottom of
Speaker 3: the eighth.
Speaker 4: Well it's early in the season, yes, but still it's
Speaker 4: just like when it's a game like one nine, where
Speaker 4: you're like, come on.
Speaker 1: I want to go home. I think it's not a
Speaker 1: new show.
Speaker 5: But I've been watching Hunted on Amazon Prime. It's about
Speaker 5: a bunch of people that are quote unquote fugitives in
Speaker 5: Britain or Australia and they need to go on the
Speaker 5: run for thirty days from ex police military intelligence officers
Speaker 5: and if they can stay hidden and avoid capture for
Speaker 5: a month, they win a cash prize. So it's kind
Speaker 5: of interesting how they stay hidden and how they're tracked down.
Speaker 3: You've had three different versions of that show. By the way,
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen was a British series. In twenty seventeen they
Speaker 3: did an American version, and then in twenty eighteen, I
Speaker 3: think it is they did an Australian version, So he
Speaker 3: may have been right on all those.
Speaker 4: Love on the Spectrum Season three is out today on Netflix, and.
Speaker 2: This is just a joy of a show.
Speaker 4: And the thing that always strikes me about watching this
Speaker 4: show is the realization that we are all on the
Speaker 4: spectrum a little bit to some degree.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 3: I would have said that it was proof that we
Speaker 3: are built for some amount of love, like we're built
Speaker 3: to be relationships with people, and not just like friendship relationships,
Speaker 3: because obviously those are important too.
Speaker 1: But that.
Speaker 3: Almost eight billion people, how many are on this earth,
Speaker 3: there's a there's a need for that more intimate connection
Speaker 3: with somebody, and that it doesn't matter what's going on,
Speaker 3: how neuro divergent you might be, there's still some of
Speaker 3: that core.
Speaker 1: Mechanism in there that drives you to.
Speaker 3: That, right, And I've it's and like you said, it's
Speaker 3: such a pleasant It's a pleasant show these young people
Speaker 3: who have some sort of neurodivergence whatever the correct term is,
Speaker 3: and they're looking to date because they see their older
Speaker 3: sisters do it, or they see their older brothers do it,
Speaker 3: or they see their families, you know, encourage them to
Speaker 3: go out and find love.
Speaker 4: Part of the wonderful thing about it is it's so phony,
Speaker 4: isn't it out there in the dating world.
Speaker 2: Look no further than The.
Speaker 4: Bachelor, where they're all lying to each other and themselves,
Speaker 4: and it's all so phony and so prepackaged and produced
Speaker 4: and awful. This is the antithesis of that.
Speaker 1: This is as.
Speaker 4: Real and raw and unfiltered as a dating show could
Speaker 4: possibly get because there's.
Speaker 2: No other option. That's the beauty of it.
Speaker 4: To hear people be completely honest with themselves and with
Speaker 4: other people about who they are is refreshing.
Speaker 1: What do you think love is? It'll be like a
Speaker 1: fairy tale, A natural high, I suppose gets your heart racing, can.
Speaker 5: Make people do crazy things.
Speaker 1: You just feel very warm inside yourself as a person.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just such a clear, unvarnished, and like
Speaker 3: you said, uncontaminated view of dating and relationship. There are
Speaker 3: three trailers up right now. If you're looking for something
Speaker 3: to get excited about. Kfi AM six forty dot com
Speaker 3: Slash Gary and Shannon. One of them is for Final
Speaker 3: Destination Bloodlines. This has got to be what the eighth movie,
Speaker 3: and that is it?
Speaker 2: Everybody dead at this point, I.
Speaker 1: Thought, so one is called One Battle after Another.
Speaker 3: Leon Ardo DiCaprio is in Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie,
Speaker 3: and then the new Karate Kid Legends. It's called Karate
Speaker 3: Kid Legends. Who do you think is in Karate Kid Legends? Uh,
Speaker 3: mister Miyagi, yes, no.
Speaker 1: Oh, he died, he died.
Speaker 2: I would say Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Ralph Komachia.
Speaker 3: Ralph Macchio is in this one, but so is Jackie Chan.
Speaker 3: If you remember, Jackie Chan was with Jaden Smith in
Speaker 3: the Karate Kid reboot and now they're combining universes.
Speaker 4: There was an article in the La Times and the
Speaker 4: headline is.
Speaker 2: The box Office's bleak.
Speaker 4: And when you talk about these trailers and things that
Speaker 4: are coming out, I have to agree with that headline.
Speaker 2: Specifically because we.
Speaker 4: Were just looking off the air about wondering about Val Kilmer.
Speaker 4: Was he nominated for his role in Tombstone in ninety three.
Speaker 4: We're going through the guys that were nominate and the
Speaker 4: movies that came out, and it wasn't just because we
Speaker 4: were younger, and I thought that that was like when
Speaker 4: the best movies were being made. Those are really great
Speaker 4: movies that were made in the early.
Speaker 1: Had a lot of competitions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're in the middle of watching watching Wednesday, talking
Speaker 3: about some of the shows on the TV or.
Speaker 6: What you watching Wednesday on Hulu. There's a show called
Speaker 6: My Best Friends and Animal and you guys would love it.
Speaker 6: Some of the animals are like a chicken, wild Australian
Speaker 6: cockatoo's a vulture, spider, rhinos, kangaroos, elephants and more. So
Speaker 6: I know you guys would love it best.
Speaker 1: Probably would produced by National Geographs.
Speaker 2: Everyone lobby. Joe's mom came on.
Speaker 1: The real one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, the fake one, fa one.
Speaker 1: Jennifer was her name.
Speaker 4: And you were like, like a lobster. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: that was so funny. And then the real one came
Speaker 4: on and she sounded just as lovable.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would have said that, really,
Speaker 1: it is just as lovable. She was more lovable than
Speaker 1: the one. I thought she was delightful.
Speaker 3: I thought they were a little upset at first, but
Speaker 3: once she realized that we were just having fun.
Speaker 1: Seemed to put down her Canadian.
Speaker 2: But you profiled her perfectly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I nailed it without knowing much about her, kind
Speaker 3: of nailed it the studio on Apple TV Plus.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: Now, I asked you if this is kind of an
Speaker 4: inside Baseball thing, I feel like it's like an inside
Speaker 4: Hollywood thing where you don't know a lot about Hollywood,
Speaker 4: You're not going to get the jokes.
Speaker 3: I don't know a lot about Hollywood's I don't know
Speaker 3: enough about Hollywood to say that there are jokes that
Speaker 3: I'm missing. Okay, so I'll say that, but you don't
Speaker 3: need to know all. Even if there are, you don't
Speaker 3: need to know. There are other funny things about what
Speaker 3: it is. It's written by Seth Rogan and a couple
Speaker 3: of other people. Seth Rogan plays this guy who is
Speaker 3: elevated to studio head first fictional Continental Studios. And there
Speaker 3: are some things that I always get a kick out
Speaker 3: of recognizing places in shows. Listen, we live here, so
Speaker 3: it's not like you know a lot of the shows
Speaker 3: that are made are made here, so I recognize a
Speaker 3: lot of them. But it was funny they have a
Speaker 3: dinner scene at the smokehouse just around the corner, and
Speaker 3: we've been there a handful of times for different meetings
Speaker 3: with different people.
Speaker 1: But it was funny.
Speaker 3: Because I turned to my wife and I go I
Speaker 3: had a meeting with my boss in that same restaurant.
Speaker 3: It may have even been in that same booth. And
Speaker 3: it's that kind of thing is funny. They also spend
Speaker 3: a lot of time walking around their studio lot. Even
Speaker 3: though it's supposed to be a fictional studio, it's clearly
Speaker 3: the Warner Brothers a lot over here, so you get
Speaker 3: to see all of the buildings in Burbank kind of
Speaker 3: in the background that we drive by every time we
Speaker 3: get we go to work. So some of that is
Speaker 3: fun seth Rogen is a is a guy that not
Speaker 3: everybody loves, and his sort of frenetic, bumbly comedy doesn't
Speaker 3: fit for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: You mean in real life or in this show?
Speaker 3: No, I mean in real life they actors. There's some
Speaker 3: people just don't like him. Then they don't think he's
Speaker 3: as funny as he has been made out to be.
Speaker 3: But this is a very well written show. There are
Speaker 3: some funny cameos in it, which I think probably drive
Speaker 3: it and it has driven some of the popularity of it.
Speaker 3: Like Ron Howard shows up in the third episode as
Speaker 3: Ron Howard as this brilliant director with a laundry list
Speaker 3: of incredible movies that he's made, and he makes a
Speaker 3: movie for this studio and they have to try to
Speaker 3: give him a note about the final cut, like hey,
Speaker 3: we want you to kind of change this thing, and
Speaker 3: there's a there's a moment where Ron Howard flips out
Speaker 3: and just drops f bombs left and right and has
Speaker 3: to be restrained from going after seth Rogen and that
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff is funny because you get these
Speaker 3: people who are willing to make fun of themselves.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ron Howard is arguably royalty in Hollywood right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the.
Speaker 3: Fact that he was willing to do a show like this,
Speaker 3: play himself, but play a fictionalized character of himself that
Speaker 3: would be so out of bounds and so crazy and
Speaker 3: angry at a studio head.
Speaker 1: It's fun. Yeah, that's the fun part.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: I am annoyed with White Lotus. I am I've never
Speaker 4: been more unsatisfied with a show that I used to like.
Speaker 4: At the end of every episode, it's all unsatisfying. Everybody
Speaker 4: on that show is awful. There's not one person. And
Speaker 4: I have a hard time with shows like this, and
Speaker 4: I think it's probably going back to something your wife.
Speaker 2: Said years ago. I forget what show she was talking.
Speaker 4: About, and she said something to the effect of like,
Speaker 4: there's no one to root for, and it's stuck in
Speaker 4: my head. And now if there's a show like and
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of the show with the Family on Showtime
Speaker 4: that everyone loves the session session and I felt the
Speaker 4: same way with that show, which is why I couldn't
Speaker 4: watch it. If there's no one to root for, if
Speaker 4: everyone's awful, I just don't want to watch it.
Speaker 2: That's just not enjoyable to me.
Speaker 3: There's there's something about that kind of a show that
Speaker 3: is trying to do something that adolescens did.
Speaker 1: So we talked about Adolescents.
Speaker 3: That's the show on Netflix about the kid who's accused
Speaker 3: of killing this a teenager who's accused of killing a classmate.
Speaker 3: They what they did in Adolescents was built consistently built tension,
Speaker 3: and that kind of like unresolved tension. It does something
Speaker 3: to humans we do not like that. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: not comfortable for us. So at the end of a
Speaker 3: show like that, it has stirred something up. It's like
Speaker 3: your hot water heater when there's like stuff floating around it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it gets stirred up and you need time to let
Speaker 3: it settle once again. I feel like shows that are
Speaker 3: written where there's no hero, there's nobody to roof for,
Speaker 3: there's nobody likable in it. They try to do that
Speaker 3: same thing as stir up sort of the those feelings
Speaker 3: in you. Yeah, but then there's no resolution, there's nothing
Speaker 3: at the end of it, and I feel gross.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, why was I watching this for an hour?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen enough of it to know about what's
Speaker 3: going on. These are not connected. These characters in season
Speaker 3: three are not connected to the other characters.
Speaker 4: Well, one of them is. A couple of them are.
Speaker 4: But even one of the characters that was in a
Speaker 4: previous season, I don't really like her this season.
Speaker 1: Did you like her before?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So?
Speaker 3: And then isn't it just they've done some pretty outlandish
Speaker 3: things and they're trying to outdo themselves with some of
Speaker 3: the stuff.
Speaker 4: I'm just bored by their boredom, if that makes any sense.
Speaker 4: They're bored rich people, and I'm bored by their boredom
Speaker 4: and how it manifest that's itself.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll accept that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, rich boring people are insufferable.
Speaker 1: But poor boring people there's.
Speaker 2: No show me one show me a poor bored person.
Speaker 1: That's probably true.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the problem is the money makes them boring
Speaker 3: and lazy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess you can choose to be a
Speaker 4: poor boring person if you're boring.
Speaker 1: But there aren't that many.
Speaker 4: But they're mostly people who are struggling, are working.
Speaker 2: You know they're not. They don't have time to be bored.
Speaker 2: It's a luxury.
Speaker 4: It's like when you told your parents you were bored
Speaker 4: and they wanted to slap the s out of your face.
Speaker 4: It's like looking people are bored. Only boring people are bored.
Speaker 4: And you know, I'll give you something to do, go
Speaker 4: clean the backyard. You're bored, but it'll spoil brat
