Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Now it's officially time Fornica Dayla Cruz Darka.
Speaker 3: Please take it away.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Well, Today's Discover so Cal is
Speaker 4: a food edition.
Speaker 5: Normally I talk about museums and pop ups and so forth,
Speaker 5: but I went to two amazing restaurants in Sherman Oaks
Speaker 5: and I have to say I'm a foodie, so I
Speaker 5: want to talk about this restaurant that I've never been.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's been open for a year, but
Speaker 5: it's called Boulevards Steak in Sherman Oaks and stands out
Speaker 5: as a premier dining destination, combining an elegant atmosphere with
Speaker 5: a dedication to top tier cuisine. It is co owned
Speaker 5: by doctor Dre and his business partner, and this restaurant
Speaker 5: has garned significant attention not only for its celebrity affiliation,
Speaker 5: but also it's exceptional service and sophisticated ambiance. Nestled in
Speaker 5: the heart of Sherman Oaks, Boulevard Steak offers a luxurious
Speaker 5: dining experience that appeals to those seeking refined elegance from
Speaker 5: its sleek, modern decor to its intimate lighting, the space radiates.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just it's contemporary, it's timeless, it's beautiful.
Speaker 5: Doctor Dre's involvement in the restaurant restaurant adds an element
Speaker 5: of intrigue and prestige, of course, to the establishment. Known
Speaker 5: for his legendary music career and his many ventures, his
Speaker 5: partnership in Boulevard's Take is a testament to the restaurant's
Speaker 5: high standards. Doctor Dre, along with his business partner, has
Speaker 5: also been involved in other successful ventures, adding further credibility
Speaker 5: to the upscale spot. Now the food, let's talk about
Speaker 5: the food at Boulevard's Stak is nothing short of spectacular,
Speaker 5: with a menu that reflects the skill and creativity of
Speaker 5: the culinary team. This restaurant specializes in expertly crafted stakes,
Speaker 5: featuring prime cuts that are perfectly cooked to each dinner specifications.
Speaker 4: So if you like it well medium, well they got you.
Speaker 5: However, the menu goes far beyond steaks, offering array of
Speaker 5: different dishes including fresh seafood, gourmet size, and delicious appetizers.
Speaker 5: Each plate is presented with an artistic touch, just a
Speaker 5: touch of elegance and diners rave about the signature bone Ribbi,
Speaker 5: lobster mac and cheese, which was really good and trouble.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, the flavor and the detail of the
Speaker 5: food is amazing. The presentation is also amazing. And in
Speaker 5: addition to the exquisite food Boulevard Steak's beverage program is
Speaker 5: equally impressive.
Speaker 4: They have cocktail crafted cocktails.
Speaker 5: They have an array of wines and if you want
Speaker 5: to go, take your wife, take go on a date.
Speaker 5: I say this is probably one of the most lavishest placed,
Speaker 5: lavish place on Sherman Oaks Boulevard that you may want
Speaker 5: to go. You might want to make a reservation. I
Speaker 5: can say that the price range is a few dollars signs,
Speaker 5: but I tell you if you won't be disappointed. I'm
Speaker 5: not sure if you'll see doctor Dre in the restaurant,
Speaker 5: but his partner is Christian Corbin, who you may see,
Speaker 5: and he's also the founder of Taisho and Cassida on
Speaker 5: Ventura Boulevard, which are also great restaurants. And I will
Speaker 5: say this, you might want to dress up and make
Speaker 5: a reservation.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: The second spot I went to is a.
Speaker 5: Little bit different, more casual, it's called Carnival. Carnival Restaurant
Speaker 5: and it reminds me of it's a Greek restaurant, and
Speaker 5: it reminds me of When I go there, I feel
Speaker 5: like I'm in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Speaker 4: It just has delicious food.
Speaker 5: It's flavorful, a lot of Middle Eastern cuisine. And when
Speaker 5: I say the kababs, whether it's chicken or whether it's beef,
Speaker 5: it's absolutely delicious. Now that's a little you know, easier
Speaker 5: on the price range or open seven days a week,
Speaker 5: eleven am to eight thirty, and it's called Carnival Restaurant
Speaker 5: at forty three fifty six Woodman Avenue.
Speaker 4: Boulevard Steak great.
Speaker 5: Place to take on a date or if you just
Speaker 5: want to have a cocktail. Located at one three eight
Speaker 5: one seven Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. For more information,
Speaker 5: log onto Boulevardsteak dot com.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to Boulevard Steak. I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: menu right now. Yes, it's not inexpensive. Okay, it's not inexpensive.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie to you, but I love.
Speaker 3: Me a really good steak.
Speaker 4: Oh mo, let me tell you really good steak.
Speaker 3: You want to go.
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: You're killing me, by the way.
Speaker 6: Not. Let me tell you if I saw somebody order
Speaker 6: a well done steak at a place like that, I
Speaker 6: don't think I could restrain myself from well done taste.
Speaker 4: You know, some people like it well done, medium rare.
Speaker 5: I always say when I order my steak, just just
Speaker 5: enough where it's not talking back to me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're gonna order it well done, just put
Speaker 6: ketchup on it too while you're at it.
Speaker 3: Okay, but you're not supposed to put anything on it.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 4: Oh, but you know what I did order on the side.
Speaker 5: You could also ask for chibchury sauce on top of
Speaker 5: your steak. Oh my goodness, the flavors of that, the asparagus,
Speaker 5: the garlic, mashed potatoes.
Speaker 3: The I got the lobster mac and cheese. Oh yes,
Speaker 3: I got to ask Mark.
Speaker 2: They have a forty two ounce double cut tomahawked steak.
Speaker 6: Oh does that say two hours? The one that tipped
Speaker 6: over the flintstones car.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you how much it costs.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I want to hear it because those
Speaker 6: are pricey.
Speaker 3: One hundred and ninety eight dollars. That's just a steak.
Speaker 3: Well that rules me out. I'm taking you. You'll be
Speaker 3: my take.
Speaker 6: Oh well, okay, I guess I'm required to put out.
Speaker 3: For that kind of time.
Speaker 5: Maybe not, maybe not Mark, but I tell you, Mark,
Speaker 5: you will not be disappointed. And when you walk inside,
Speaker 5: like you could tell that there's a doctor Dre stamp
Speaker 5: in there because the way it's it's very elegant, but
Speaker 5: it has that hip hop flavor to it. You know,
Speaker 5: it's beautiful. Definitely go check it out. And also Gama
Speaker 5: Restaurant is really really good. I really do like all
Speaker 5: their food as well. But you know it's it's I'm
Speaker 5: giving you two options. I'm a foodie. I really am
Speaker 5: a foodie. So I love you know, food truck festivals
Speaker 5: and I love S'morrisburg Downtown in downtown LA. I just
Speaker 5: like to try different kinds of food and if it's
Speaker 5: it tastes even better when I'm not paying for it.
Speaker 3: Oh so you had an underwriter?
Speaker 5: I did, Yes, I did, and you know what, he
Speaker 5: enjoyed it as well.
Speaker 2: You just giving up all the information, all right? Well,
Speaker 2: since you went there, yes, beyond the meal, how was
Speaker 2: the date?
Speaker 5: You know what it was really good. It was really good,
Speaker 5: very respectful. You know, checks a lot of great boxes,
Speaker 5: good conversation. I'm I'm I'm more of the woman. You
Speaker 5: need to stimulate my mind.
Speaker 3: That's what you say after going to Boulevard Steak.
Speaker 4: Sure, stimulate my mind.
Speaker 2: But if it took you to a Starbucks, that wouldn't
Speaker 2: have been enough to stimulate you.
Speaker 5: Now, I've had coffee dates. I prefer coffee dates. I
Speaker 5: start off with coffee dates. Then from coffee dates, we
Speaker 5: go to brunch. Then from brunch we go to lunch.
Speaker 5: Then from lunch we go to dinner.
Speaker 3: I could say something very.
Speaker 4: Inappropriate, but you better not.
Speaker 3: We just talking about I said inappropriate, not like illegal.
Speaker 5: Let's wrap that up.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, composers, Okay.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Kelly k I AM six forty
Speaker 2: one Live Everybody, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 3: It is now time for the Hidden Gym with not
Speaker 3: a God Daila Cruise. Thank you, Mo.
Speaker 5: Today's hidden gem is melaniean Fisher, who was referred to
Speaker 5: me by Jamie Wilson from LinkedIn.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: Melanie Fisher always knew she had a special connection with animals.
Speaker 4: From a young age.
Speaker 5: She would rescue stray cats, nurse injured birds back to health,
Speaker 5: and spend hours reading about different species. Now, as a
Speaker 5: vet nurse student with only one year left until graduation,
Speaker 5: her passion has only deepened.
Speaker 4: Despite her demanding coursework.
Speaker 5: She volunteers at local animal shelters, often the first to
Speaker 5: step in with an abandoned or abuse animal needs care.
Speaker 5: Whether it's providing food, administrating medication, or offering a comforting hand,
Speaker 5: Melanie finds joy in every act of compassion. It's not
Speaker 5: just about their health, it's about giving these creatures a
Speaker 5: second chance. It was during one of her volunteer shifts
Speaker 5: that Melanie stumbled across Hope for Pause. A colleague had
Speaker 5: mentioned the organization in passing, describing their incredible rescue videos.
Speaker 4: Curious, she searched for.
Speaker 5: Them that evening and found herself watching rescue after rescue
Speaker 5: after rescue and tears in her eyes. The bravery and
Speaker 5: dedication of the team struck a chord so deep with her.
Speaker 5: She was just wanted to help more animals, and she
Speaker 5: saw that these animals were being rescued. The more she learned,
Speaker 5: the more inspired she became. For Melanie, this wasn't just
Speaker 5: another organization. It was a community of people who shared
Speaker 5: her unwavering belief in second chances, no matter how the bleak,
Speaker 5: no matter how bleak the circumstances. Every time she sees
Speaker 5: a new Hope for Pause rescue video or update from
Speaker 5: the organization, it reignites her determination to finish school and
Speaker 5: continue making a difference. She feels like this is just
Speaker 5: the beginning for her broader mission to ensure that no
Speaker 5: animal is left behind, forgotten, or unloved. Hope for Pause
Speaker 5: dot org was founded in two thousand and eight by Eddad.
Speaker 5: It's a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abused animals,
Speaker 5: particularly those in extreme and often life threatening situations. Eldad
Speaker 5: with his wife Audrey, created the organization to provide not
Speaker 5: only immediate medical care to animals in need, but also
Speaker 5: to highlight their stories, raising awareness about the plight of
Speaker 5: abandoned animals. They quickly became known for their gripping rescue videos,
Speaker 5: which show the emotional journey of these animals from fear
Speaker 5: and abandonment to safety and recovery. The organization works closely
Speaker 5: with veterans and animal shelters to readapt rescued animals and
Speaker 5: find them, you.
Speaker 4: Know, forever homes.
Speaker 5: Their unique approach often involves rescuing animals that often deem
Speaker 5: too difficult or hopeless, offering them a lifeline where none
Speaker 5: existed before. Through their work, Home for Pause has inspired millions,
Speaker 5: and I mean millions, to get involved in animals rescue,
Speaker 5: fostering a great sense of responsibility and empathy towards all creatures.
Speaker 5: The organization has saved thousands of lives and continues to
Speaker 5: be a beacon of hope for animals in desperate need.
Speaker 5: They have quite an intense YouTube channel.
Speaker 4: They have five million.
Speaker 5: Plus YouTube followers, one point four billion views, and forty
Speaker 5: rescue partners that they all work with. If you have
Speaker 5: time you would like to volunteer, or donate or even
Speaker 5: adopt a pet, please visit Hope for Pause dot org.
Speaker 5: I went through a rabbit hole on their website Hope
Speaker 5: for Pause dot org, and I just wanted.
Speaker 4: To adopt every single dog there.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, and I did say mo, I did
Speaker 5: see some of the videos and I think after maybe
Speaker 5: a minute and a half to two when they were
Speaker 5: rescue them. I just I had to shut my laptop,
Speaker 5: my computer because I just couldn't stomach, you know, and
Speaker 5: I couldn't stomach what these dogs were going through.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: I don't even want to describe it because it could
Speaker 5: be emotional. But I just I love animals. I love pets,
Speaker 5: and I get really angry when people mistreat their animals.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like to me mistreating a child, and
Speaker 5: I don't think that's fair at all. But I tell you, Melanie,
Speaker 5: I can't wait till you graduate and you become a
Speaker 5: vet nurse and continue working with Hope for Pause dot
Speaker 5: org when you can, and anyone that would like to volunteer,
Speaker 5: I definitely put in some time.
Speaker 2: I try to tell people, and people don't know. I
Speaker 2: have two dogs. They are family members, Riley and Benson.
Speaker 2: They're both Mini Schnauzers. They and I say this generally
Speaker 2: with pets, they will change your life. They will change
Speaker 2: your whole disposition. They will renew your faith in life.
Speaker 2: You know, there's something very innocent and pure about pets,
Speaker 2: the unconditional love that can systant attention. I know every
Speaker 2: time I go home, when I open the door, they're
Speaker 2: going to be right there, like I've been gone one
Speaker 2: hundred years or one hundred seconds. The reaction is always
Speaker 2: the same. It's like where you've been, so glad you're home,
Speaker 2: come play with us, and it is life affirming. It's
Speaker 2: almost like, yeah, I had a real crappy day, but
Speaker 2: they don't care and they make it better exactly.
Speaker 5: Also for the cat lovers like Mark, there are cats
Speaker 5: to be adopted to, and they have tons of stories
Speaker 5: and videos about cats that they have rescued as well.
Speaker 4: So if you're a cat lover a dog lover, it
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, but.
Speaker 5: You know you could, if you have space in your home,
Speaker 5: if you feel like you could, you know, foster or
Speaker 5: help out, whether it's monetary or fostering. I think, you know,
Speaker 5: doing something like that out of your heart and kindness
Speaker 5: is beautiful.
Speaker 2: That's always been my concerns, Like I always might want
Speaker 2: to make sure that I had adequate room and space
Speaker 2: trying to keep a dog or any path for that matter,
Speaker 2: just cooped up in a room in a house all
Speaker 2: day long. We can't go anywhere, you know, And I
Speaker 2: wanted to have at least like some backyard or something
Speaker 2: for them. And I know it's not everyone can do that,
Speaker 2: but I'm always conscientious of that in that regard. So
Speaker 2: anyone who does adopt a pet, God bless you.
Speaker 5: Can I say one more thing, of course mentioned something,
Speaker 5: and I just want to say, because now it's starting
Speaker 5: to get dark when your dogs, when you do let
Speaker 5: your dogs outside, please go and watch them because you
Speaker 5: don't know who's climbing up on the fence.
Speaker 4: So just always keep an eye on your dogs.
Speaker 5: Even if they go quick to go, you know, relieve
Speaker 5: themselves and come back right, come right back.
Speaker 4: But just always keep an eye on your pets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is something I always do. And it's almost like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for my wife. Are you home yet? You
Speaker 2: check on the dogs. I need to hurry up and
Speaker 2: get home because I can't get home before eleven o'clock
Speaker 2: at night. Yeah, there's always that worry because they're like
Speaker 2: kids and never grow up.
Speaker 4: Nope, none at all.
Speaker 3: And when we.
Speaker 2: Come back, we will have the Rauner report. Mark you
Speaker 2: teased it before. You're going to be talking about the
Speaker 2: new Joker sequel that I can't even pronounce because I
Speaker 2: don't speak French.
Speaker 3: Well it's not for everybody. It's a French sie.
Speaker 2: So I've been eagerly awaiting this because this was not
Speaker 2: a movie I planned to see, and I usually rise
Speaker 2: and fall on whether you like something to inspire me
Speaker 2: or discourage me.
Speaker 6: Well, I keep saying it's boring when we agree on things,
Speaker 6: but our tastes in movies are fairly similar, so I
Speaker 6: think I can swing you in there. I can give
Speaker 6: you a push in the right direction on this.
Speaker 2: Well, first, not Aco de la Cruz, thank you for
Speaker 2: that your insight earlier, coming in early and telling some
Speaker 2: of those stories to give people some perspective on what
Speaker 2: it's really like behind the scenes dealing with some of
Speaker 2: these people, going to the actual parties that are being discussed.
Speaker 2: I just saw a promo and preview of a Ditty
Speaker 2: special that ABC twenty twenty is going to be airing
Speaker 2: next week. It's one of the biggest stories in the country,
Speaker 2: which is non political until they start implicating political figures.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's a huge story and everyone's going
Speaker 2: to be talking about it, but not everyone has any
Speaker 2: first hand perspective of some of the players involved.
Speaker 4: So thank you for coming in, Thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
Speaker 1: KFI a M six.
Speaker 8: Forty pontificates pop culture.
Speaker 7: Ron Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2: KFI later with Mo Kelly. Now it is time for
Speaker 2: the Ratta Report.
Speaker 6: Okay, this might sound like a little bit of a
Speaker 6: shaggy dog story, so please just bear with me on this.
Speaker 6: A number of years ago, I went over to my
Speaker 6: friend Wayne's place. Wayne had cancer, he didn't have very
Speaker 6: long to live. I had just gotten the job writing
Speaker 6: a Green Hornet comic book, and so I wanted to
Speaker 6: watch the Green Hornet movie that I hadn't seen yet,
Speaker 6: the awful one with Seth Rogan. Neither of us had
Speaker 6: seen it. So I start the movie and we get
Speaker 6: a little ways into it, and my poor friend Wayne,
Speaker 6: he's really not looking good at this point. After a while,
Speaker 6: Wayne says, this is terrible. Can we watch something else?
Speaker 6: And I say, well, can we just see a little
Speaker 6: bit more of it? So I kind of get a
Speaker 6: better idea what's going on here. I really need to
Speaker 6: know as much about green Hornet as possible before I
Speaker 6: start my script. All Right, we watch a little bit
Speaker 6: more of it, and finally, after maybe another twenty minutes
Speaker 6: or so, Wayne speaks up and he says, this is
Speaker 6: so bad. Can we watch something else?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 6: And I'm like, well, let's just give it a little
Speaker 6: bit more of a chance. Maybe it gets better. Another
Speaker 6: half hour goes by Wayne. It feels like he's getting
Speaker 6: sicker as time passes. He says, this is so bad?
Speaker 6: Could we please watch something else? And I'm like, listen,
Speaker 6: we might as well just power through. What kind of
Speaker 6: friend or you? Let me get to the end of this.
Speaker 6: I tell Wayne, we're so close. Let's just see how
Speaker 6: it ends. Okay, of course it's a terrible movie. And
Speaker 6: I apologize to poor Wayne. Wayne carrfelt a lovely guy.
Speaker 3: I miss him.
Speaker 6: You would have loved the guy, A real sweetheart. He
Speaker 6: didn't last much longer after that. Wayne died soon afterward,
Speaker 6: and at his wake, I apologize to Wayne's wife for
Speaker 6: making him watch that movie. Those were two precious final
Speaker 6: hours of his life, and he was already suffering enough.
Speaker 6: But at least I never made Wayne watch Joker fully Ado.
Speaker 3: Here's a little bit of the trailer. Two years ago.
Speaker 3: The name Arthur Fleck had got him like a hurricane.
Speaker 3: The Trial of the Century. They believe Arthur Fleck to
Speaker 3: be some kind of Marta as a monster.
Speaker 4: I small when I first saw a Joker. When I
Speaker 4: saw you.
Speaker 5: Oh you, For once in my life, I didn't feel
Speaker 5: so alone anymore. I I love.
Speaker 7: You, love.
Speaker 4: Colline.
Speaker 3: For ones in my life, I.
Speaker 4: Have someone who needs me.
Speaker 3: Now about you, Arthur, do you still think you're a star?
Speaker 6: That's plenty of the trailer, you get the idea that's
Speaker 6: the Joker in prison actually kind of the Meddal Asylum. Now,
Speaker 6: I'm going to admit upfront I hated the first Joker
Speaker 6: movie five years ago, mainly because I'd already seen Martin
Speaker 6: sco says he's the King of comedy, and I didn't
Speaker 6: need to watch an inferior remake of it with an
Speaker 6: unbearably self indulgent Joker performance at it. But a lot
Speaker 6: of other people did like it, and it became one
Speaker 6: of the most successful R rated movies of all time.
Speaker 6: It made over a billion dollars, and Joaquin Phoenix won
Speaker 6: an honor in Oscar rather uh so, fair play on that.
Speaker 6: I'll be the turd in the punch bowl on this one,
Speaker 6: but I know there's a network of people like me
Speaker 6: who hated it. Like airplane turbulence, you kind of need
Speaker 6: to have seen the first one to fully get the
Speaker 6: sequel fully adieu, because the sequels about the jokers trial
Speaker 6: for the people that he killed in the first movie,
Speaker 6: and how he meets a joker groupie in the prison
Speaker 6: nuthouse music therapy class and they fall in love and
Speaker 6: then they have one musical number after another mainly in
Speaker 6: dream sequences.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 6: That's the whole deal. And no, there's no Batman singing
Speaker 6: or otherwise. The groupie Joker falls in love with is
Speaker 6: Lee aka Harlee Quinn played by Lady Gaga. You heard
Speaker 6: Brendan Gleeson in the trailer there. He plays a mean
Speaker 6: prison guard. They really don't like the joker in prison
Speaker 6: whose real name you remember is Arthur Fleck. How much
Speaker 6: to the guards not like Arthur Fleck? I honestly struggled
Speaker 6: with how much to tell you about this, not just
Speaker 6: because the spoilers, but also because gross, I'll just say,
Speaker 6: they mercifully don't show absolutely everything I can tell you.
Speaker 6: Caesar Romero never had to worry about this sort of thing.
Speaker 6: Holy Shawshank Batman. But not much really happens in the movie,
Speaker 6: which seems to be a delivery device just for a
Speaker 6: bunch of music numbers. I'm not saying there's nothing going
Speaker 6: on in the movie. Fleck struggle with his identity and
Speaker 6: what he's done and who he wants to be are
Speaker 6: the major themes. Not to mention what other people want
Speaker 6: and expect of him, and not just the guards too.
Speaker 6: They always ask him if he's got a joke, Harley
Speaker 6: and all the people in the mob. He's inspired one
Speaker 6: way or the other. But there's a difference between stuff
Speaker 6: going on and stuff happening now what you call a
Speaker 6: real busy plot here, especially if you're going into this
Speaker 6: after consuming a steady diet of comic book movies. I
Speaker 6: found it agonizing. But while it was agonizing, it's also
Speaker 6: well acted, great looking. The cheap skate in me was
Speaker 6: aghast at least one expensive looking set that was used
Speaker 6: for maybe a minute of screen time. Like imagine hiring
Speaker 6: Ken Adam, who designed all those astonishing James Bond sets.
Speaker 6: He creates something, then you tell him we're gonna have
Speaker 6: Bond drive through this at seventy miles an hour once
Speaker 6: and the movie has some interesting elements that kept me
Speaker 6: thinking for a while. I gotta admit, fully, Adu, with
Speaker 6: such a brazen screw you, I'm doing what I want
Speaker 6: on the part of the filmmakers, I almost came out
Speaker 6: the other end liking it. I admire the attempt the director,
Speaker 6: Todd Phillips tried something ambitious. He does not care what
Speaker 6: you think. In fact, maybe he's even mad at you
Speaker 6: for liking the First Joker too much and not for
Speaker 6: the right reasons. Kind of like it reminded me of
Speaker 6: when Alan Moore was dismayed that people saw Rorshock as
Speaker 6: the real hero of Watchmen and not so much a
Speaker 6: dangerous psychopath who doesn't belong in society. Guilty, I admitted,
Speaker 6: And listen, even a movie that ranges from failure to
Speaker 6: laugh out loud disaster like this one can have trace
Speaker 6: elements of brilliance in it. But this Joker sequel, it
Speaker 6: was more agonizing than anything else to me.
Speaker 3: Do you want to.
Speaker 6: Watch Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga do dream karaoke for
Speaker 6: the better part of two hours and eighteen minutes or
Speaker 6: is there maybe a root canal you could schedule instead,
Speaker 6: Perhaps you could arrange a mammogram at the same time.
Speaker 6: I don't even think a lot of people who did
Speaker 6: like the First Joker are going to be able to
Speaker 6: stand this one. I'll tell you I couldn't wait to
Speaker 6: get out of the theater, and apparently I was far
Speaker 6: from the only one. Someone on Twitter said I saw
Speaker 6: this afterward. Never seen it happen before, But every musical
Speaker 6: set piece this film did, more and more people kept
Speaker 6: leaving the theater. Here's your pull quote, publicists, make that
Speaker 6: joker fully deuce. It'll give you waves of embarrassment for
Speaker 6: the people involved. But at least it's really long. Okay,
Speaker 6: Now we got a couple of minutes left, and because
Speaker 6: it's October, I want to give you something good to watch.
Speaker 6: Also a bonus, it's a scary movie. Last week, I
Speaker 6: recommended The Substance, and I'm glad to see that one
Speaker 6: snowballing as a cult film as more people discovered. Again
Speaker 6: not for this squeamish. This week, I recommend the remake
Speaker 6: of Stephen King's Salem's Lot. It's brand new on HBO.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean Max. Nothing's ever going to replace
Speaker 6: the original TV version of Salem's Lot with David sol
Speaker 6: as a writer who goes back to his hometown to
Speaker 6: find it in the beginning of a vampire takeover. That's
Speaker 6: also on Max, as well as the sequel, Return to
Speaker 6: Salem's Lot. I love that, love the book. The remake
Speaker 6: stars Lewis Pulman as the writer. He's the son of
Speaker 6: Bill Pullman. He's no David soul, but he grows on you.
Speaker 6: The crosses they hold glow when they're near vampires. And
Speaker 6: the last act has a pretty creative vampire set piece.
Speaker 6: And I like that character. Actor Bill Camp. You'll know
Speaker 6: him when you see him. He's been in a ton
Speaker 6: of stuff for a long time. He plays a teacher
Speaker 6: who backs up the writer against the monsters. I think
Speaker 6: we all want to Bill Camp in our lives. We
Speaker 6: can go and have a drink with at the local
Speaker 6: dive bar bar and have a conspiratorial talk about what's
Speaker 6: wrong with that one kid? Is he a victim of
Speaker 6: a supernatural monster or just one of Jim Jordan's wrestlers. Anyway,
Speaker 6: horror movies all Halloween this month. I'll have something else
Speaker 6: next week. These things build character. That's you, Irna report
Speaker 6: mo Jim Jordan. I don't think I didn't catch that.
Speaker 3: I thought I just slipped that one in there.
Speaker 2: Oh I had Well, I can't say that, Yes, you
Speaker 2: knew how I was going.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go there. But I've heard.
Speaker 2: More hatred for this movie in the past twenty four
Speaker 2: hours than I can remember of any movie recently.
Speaker 6: It's so funny. I don't generally read reviews or anything
Speaker 6: before I formulate my thoughts on a movie, but I've
Speaker 6: been having so much fun getting on Reddit and on Twitter.
Speaker 6: The one that I saw just before the show's got
Speaker 6: a picture of a guy. It's a before and after.
Speaker 6: He says, now watching Joker too. I love the first one.
Speaker 6: I'm sure this will be just as good. And then
Speaker 6: the picture of him afterward with such a sullen face,
Speaker 6: and he says, goodness, gracious man, WTF.
Speaker 2: Well, at least we don't have to worry about the
Speaker 2: trilogy from what I'm hearing.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I have to admit I missed something during the last
Speaker 6: scene that I didn't realize i'd seen until I got
Speaker 6: home and read more about it. I wouldn't rule anything out,
Speaker 6: to be honest, but we can hope and pray that this.
Speaker 3: Is the last one.
Speaker 2: I didn't have any desire to see it, and you
Speaker 2: just reaffirmed why I should not waste the money or
Speaker 2: the time to see it. I was not a fan
Speaker 2: of the first one, and it didn't ring true to
Speaker 2: anything called Joker, anything within the Batman universe. He was
Speaker 2: just a psychotic killer, seemingly indiscriminately where I always perceived
Speaker 2: the Joker as a criminal mastermind who may have been
Speaker 2: about chaos, but still there was a plan. There was
Speaker 2: a degree of criminality which was coherent. I mean, he
Speaker 2: was a gangster on some level. This is just a
Speaker 2: crazy criminal.
Speaker 6: The first one was a crime movie, like I said,
Speaker 6: it was a copy of his or says he crime
Speaker 6: movie about somebody obsessed with stardom. And this one really
Speaker 6: kind of turns on itself and crawls up its own tailpipe.
Speaker 6: It's much more psychological. Like I said, tons and tons
Speaker 6: of musical sequences that take place in the Joker's mind.
Speaker 6: And this is one of the few times I wanted
Speaker 6: to hang out outside the door to the auditorium and
Speaker 6: ask people what they thought when they were walking out,
Speaker 6: But their stony silence said everything I need to know.
Speaker 6: These were some grim people walking out of this movie.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that you took one for the team,
Speaker 2: and I don't have to take one.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from

Speaker 2: And this is a list of the top ten cities
Speaker 2: which have the most horror movie film locations.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of what could have been filmed
Speaker 6: in Glendale. It would have been something like it follows
Speaker 6: maybe you need that kind of desert look, huh? Coming
Speaker 6: in they don't tell you.
Speaker 2: No, it's just well, I mean, it lists some of
Speaker 2: the movies, not all the movies.
Speaker 3: Will you mention that? No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's
Speaker 3: only a two page story and it doesn't say all
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: Like when I look, I can't tell you because they'll
Speaker 2: give away some of the cities.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, all right. Coming in at number.
Speaker 2: Nine, Saint Louis, Missouri, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: Looks mighty pretty. You'll see a Marillo is.
Speaker 6: In Saint Louis where they filmed a lot of Escape
Speaker 6: from New York. Because it was such a mess they
Speaker 6: didn't need to do anything with it.
Speaker 2: Maybe, but it's not listed here, so yeah, honestly, don't know.
Speaker 2: Coming in at number eight.
Speaker 3: Richmond, excuse me.
Speaker 2: Virginia, Richmond, Virginia with fifty nine different locations. That's baffling. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Coming at number seven, Orlando, Florida. Okay, number six, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Number five. This doesn't surprise me. I thought this city

Speaker 3: Vampire things were.
Speaker 2: Set, right, Yeah? Yeah, and other movies. Number four Atlanta, Georgia.

Speaker 6: they get speaking tax breaks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Number three Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: Exorcist YEP. Number two Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 2: And I'm surprised we weren't number one, but coming in
Speaker 2: at number one.
Speaker 6: Jay Z New Jeryzy, I have no idea what could
Speaker 6: have been filmed there.
Speaker 3: Well, all I can say is it's not too specific.
Speaker 3: Not counting the Sopranos is not technically horror.
Speaker 2: It says it's the setting for a smile and a
Speaker 2: toxic Avenger. Jery Zy city has seen one hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two point three to five horror movies film per
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand population.
Speaker 3: Is that a good enough Jersey accident?
Speaker 4: I was good to say, I was gonna say yes.
Speaker 5: Jersey City does have a lot of abandoned homes, so
Speaker 5: it is kind of the scenic route.
Speaker 3: For oh it's horror by default.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, but you also have Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City, Bayonne,
Speaker 5: Bergen Line.
