It was a 7 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.559 big event, and yeah, I had a DJ for like 8 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.199 five straight hours. It was It was interesting the first 9 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.079 couple hours, you know, I did. I did my my 10 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.920 my stick and and I did a lot of my 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.800 club remixes and everything. 12 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:31.440 But then I. 13 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.079 Started to run out of music and I was like, oh, 14 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.119 anybody got any requests, come on up and you know, 15 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:38.640 let me know. 16 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.880 Oh my gosh. 17 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.320 I had so many kids run up to me, and 18 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.320 every single one of them wanted to hear one thing 19 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:46.719 I wanted to hear. 20 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.320 K Pop Demon Hunters. 21 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.359 I knew it was going to be K Pop Demon Hunters. 22 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.679 Ea, I knew it, Like, all right, so what is 23 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.000 this I've been hearing about? This isn't it like a 24 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.479 Netflix show or something too. 25 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.439 It's a movie, if I may, all right, because I 26 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.520 take of introducing my wife to this, and now I 27 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.840 have deep lore of K Pop Demon honors. K Pop 28 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.359 Demon Hunters is a movie on Netflix that was made 29 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.120 by Sony. Sony invested one hundred million dollars into this 30 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.519 movie sold the right to Netflix for twenty million dollars, 31 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.159 thinking it was going to be just something that showed 32 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.040 up on Netflix kind of in the back end, you know, 33 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.959 not a big deal. It is now the second most 34 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.840 streamed movie in Netflix history. 35 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:27.920 Wow. 36 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.280 It is the first time since two thousand and nine 37 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.239 that a fictional music act has been on the top 38 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.640 twenty charts. Back in two thousand and nine, that was 39 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.879 Hannah Montana a Miiley Cyrus. Every single song from that 40 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.280 soundtrack has hit inside of I want to say, the 41 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.519 top ten. It has caused a resurgence in interest in 42 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.560 K pop itself. It is done by the same studio 43 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.079 that did Spider Man into the Spider Verse. They have 44 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.239 pretty much con firm that there's going to be a 45 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.719 K Pop Demon Hunters two and three. There is rumors 46 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.840 of a potential live aption adaptation. And the reason that 47 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.039 this movie was kind of really interesting is from what 48 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.800 it was initially conceived of and the script was written. 49 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.319 It took eight years for this movie to come to fruition, 50 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.439 and there were there yes, because people kept passing on it. 51 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.759 Here's the thing that I love the most, the main 52 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.120 character Roomy, the Korean voice actress who does the actual 53 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.199 singing portion of her. 54 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:33.120 In the world of. 55 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.560 K pop, you have all these various studios that have 56 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.680 they literally call it a stable of talent, and there 57 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.360 is very much not only a singing aspect to it, 58 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.520 but an appearance aspect. To k pop, you have to 59 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.199 fit certain aesthetics. The girl who sang as Roomy had 60 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.039 been told multiple times over that she was not going 61 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.639 to make it. She wasn't pretty enough, she was getting 62 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.840 too old. So she decided when recording the demos of 63 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.840 these songs that we're gonna get sent out so they 64 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.719 could find the actual talent who would sing it. She 65 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.960 sang in a slightly lower register than she normally did 66 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.280 and gave it everything she had, and now she is 67 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.719 one of the biggest stars in K pop because everyone 68 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.360 fell in love with her voice as Rumy. She is 69 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.719 the lead singer for the fictional band hun Tricks. She 70 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.599 is the only one to sing as Roomy, and it 71 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.599 completely changed her career because for that time she was 72 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.919 like you know what, screw it. They say, I'm gonna 73 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.719 believe in myself. I'm gonna give this everything, and it 74 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.400 is skyrocketed her career. 75 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.280 That's cool, that's cool, it's awesome. 76 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.280 It is just it is such an awesome movie. To 77 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.439 be honest, like, I hear one of the songs at 78 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.560 least once a day, either from my social media feed 79 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.800 or my wife singing it. They're the most earwig of 80 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.319 earwig songs. They will crawl in your brain and not leave. 81 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.960 I could do three of them from memory sitting here, 82 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.280 minus the Korean portion. 83 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.199 I don't think I've ever heard one K pop song, 84 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.719 but you say they're on so still quite a bit. 85 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.639 Oh, I haven't. I don't know it. 86 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.599 If you've heard, the songs are like Takedown, Golden Soda, 87 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.120 Pop Idol. The thing was the soundtrack they had. I 88 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.400 think it was over thirty different songs that they recorded 89 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.199 for the soundtrack, and they used like seven original songs 90 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.560 and two songs from existing K pop acts. So they 91 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.360 have this whole staple of music that they can just 92 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:26.800 dig into for the next movies. 93 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.000 Wow, now is this live action? A live action movie? 94 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:30.480 No? 95 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.560 No, okay, Sam, Here's here's here's my thing about this. 96 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.600 Though I have watched, well at least part of the 97 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.120 movie with my son Eric. Now Eric has watched it 98 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.600 like twenty five thirty times. 99 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:42.879 He absolutely loves it. 100 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.040 I cannot get past the animation style. 101 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.399 I do not like the forced. 102 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.399 Slower frame rate. So normally frame rates for movies and 103 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.439 television is at fifty nine point nine sixty frames. 104 00:04:59.160 --> 00:04:59.920 Of sexy or whatever. 105 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.439 Yeah, this is going at like twenty five frames a second. Really, 106 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.439 and it was it was mostly pronounced. The first time 107 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.079 it was really done, was like with the uh that 108 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.319 Spider Man, the animated Spider Man into the Spider. 109 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.079 Spider Man into the Spider Verse. Yeah, it's the same 110 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.920 studio who did it. 111 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.720 Yeah, And I cannot stand it. This this slow, like. 112 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.319 Like the frame rates going like like one. It's it's 113 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.240 just makes me sick. It makes me physically sick. Why 114 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.800 do you think they did that? Was It's just the style, 115 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:30.560 It's just a style. 116 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.199 And I looked it up. I even asked. 117 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.720 I even asked GROC. I was like, why do studios 118 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.680 do this type of animation? And it was like, well, 119 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.800 they do it because they want to emphasize importance or 120 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.360 or or a big important scene of a movie, and 121 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.800 I'm like, Okay, that doesn't make sense when it's the 122 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.839 entire movie that is like that. And it's like, well, 123 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.079 it reaches kids and it keeps kids engaged. 124 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:55.439 I'm like, ah, there it is. 125 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.120 It's it engagement. So what it's all about? 126 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.600 You know, it's funny prompted you to make this decision, honey, Yeah. 127 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.959 I just I can't stand. I can't stand the animation style. 128 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.519 Now is this movie streaming right now? Or is this 129 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.279 in theaters? 130 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.879 Or how is it? 131 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:14.319 How does somebody watch it? 132 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.879 It is actually doing both. You can watch it on Netflix. 133 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.199 They released it in theaters as sing along versions, and 134 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.079 almost every showing of these singalong versions in actual theaters 135 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:27.240 is just selling out. 136 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:27.879 See. 137 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.439 But there's a problem with that though. 138 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.480 With okay, with that really recent release of Minecraft, the 139 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.439 Minecraft movie and people going in there and destroying theaters, 140 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.120 like releasing live chickens in a theater, I feel like 141 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.639 this is a bad idea to bring something that popular 142 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.680 with that type of generation into theaters at this time, Like, 143 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.519 are people have their ben reports of people destroying the 144 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.480 theaters or jumping up on the stage and singing along 145 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.000 And I don't think I've heard anything. 146 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.480 No, I haven't. And speaking as a reformed theater kid 147 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.639 or former theater kid, depending on how you want to 148 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.480 look at things, there's also recovering is actually a better 149 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.720 way to put it. A recovering theater kid. I mean, 150 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.120 I had friends from my college days who were talking 151 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.920 about when they went to go see Wicked with the 152 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:22.680 single longs yeah and it's it's yes with Minecraft when 153 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.000 the chicken Jockey moment hit. I mean, theaters were actually 154 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.319 handing out to their staff the exact time that scene 155 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.800 would hit, in which theater to have people in there 156 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.199 to keep stuff calm. Wow, I haven't been seeing any 157 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.839 news like that, because these are just kids and adults 158 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.959 and everyone who just want to get together and belt 159 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.720 out these songs and just shown up and having just 160 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.759 a good time because you always sound better when you're 161 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.279 singing inside a large group. 162 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.199 You know. 163 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.439 It's kind It's so interesting to me because, let's face it, 164 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.240 the theater industry has got a battle going on right now. 165 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:00.399 I mean they do. 166 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.279 It's tough to get people to get it back into 167 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.040 the theaters. We started to see that that decline right 168 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.560 at the beginning of COVID, and then getting them back 169 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.199 into the theaters. I mean the other day I saw 170 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.040 an ad for Jurassic Park and I thought to myself, Man, 171 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.160 when's that movie coming out? And apparently it had already 172 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.240 come out and gone. 173 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.360 And you would think a movie that big would have 174 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.759 stuck around for a while. 175 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.079 I mean, I come from the Star Wars days where 176 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.759 the movie the movie was the theater for almost a year, right, 177 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.759 and the first Raiders of Lost Ark. We don't see 178 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.279 movies doing that anymore. And some people like I want 179 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.679 to go see Naked Gun. I haven't seen that yet, 180 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.919 but some people have said, oh, just wait for it 181 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.919 to be on cable. But there's something about going to 182 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.200 the theater and seeing the movie in the theater. It 183 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.320 just I want to hear people laughing and makes it 184 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:47.919 It kind. 185 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.879 Of makes it funnier. My favorite part about going to 186 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:58.440 the theater is paying exorbitant prices for popcorn that's stale, pizza 187 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.480 that is about two or three old, and then sitting 188 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.159 in a sticky seat, I love it, I love it, 189 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.240 and then and walking out of there spending how to 190 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.080 one hundred and fifty dollars saying I had a great time. Right, 191 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.360 do you remember the first movie you ever saw in 192 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.039 a theater Jurassic Park, really the. 193 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.639 Ever original, the original one. 194 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.559 Yeah, I forget how young were I grew up in 195 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:24.799 a small town and yeah I was poor, well mostly poor, 196 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.840 but yeah, ar Trek generations, generations. Wow, I went to 197 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.759 the screening of Star Trek the motion picture. That's what 198 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.600 does that tell you? That's go way back now. 199 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.440 The first I think the first movie I saw a 200 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.080 theaters would have been Mary Poppins. You know, my parents 201 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.360 taken me to go see that one. 202 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.000 That was Van Dyke in the world's absolute best British accent, 203 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.200 just really nailed it. Maybe with one sentence I have 204 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.679 offended the entire United Kingdom. 205 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.559 Well, my dad was not a big fan of that 206 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.440 one either, of course was British. So yeah, that was 207 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:02.600 that was a lot of fun. 208 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.360 But I that's the thing. 209 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.200 The theater experience is different now and again they're trying 210 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.519 to to I know, the the Harkins theaters out here, 211 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.519 they're trying to do it where you can order you know, 212 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.240 food ahead of time, you order your seats. 213 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.519 Ahead of time. It's it's really different. Oh justin justin 214 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.200 what have you started on that? Why? What happened? To you.

This is an AMC theater and 221 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.559 there was supposed to be you know the same thing 222 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.320 where you can do the food, where you can get 223 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:49.320 you know, uh, chicken tenders or hot dogs or or 224 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.519 hamburgers whatever.

This is not like the very first showing 237 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:38.960 of the day, right, Like, there's no food available and 238 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.080 I'm like, well, we skipped eating dinner out outside because 239 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.799 we wanted to give you our money and eat here, 240 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.519 but obviously we can't. So now we're gonna have to 241 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:52.480 dine on Reese's peanut butter cups and coke. We can, 242 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.000 we can do some chicken tenders. I'm like, okay, fine, 243 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.720 how many chicken nuggets do I get with an order? 244 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.559 You get six? Like, fine, give me two orders of that? 245 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.039 How much? 246 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.720 And then well, hold on, I'll get to that way. 247 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.000 Yeah. We finally get the chicken tenders and I'm like, 248 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.879 there's there's four of them and I'm like, uh hello, 249 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.639 and they're like it's predetermined. 250 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.200 I can't do anything about that. 251 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.000 I'm like, then, put two orders in a box, like 252 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.759 you told me six, there's four. Here's how you do 253 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.759 simple math. We ordered two orders of chicken tenders. There's 254 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.000 four in a box. It's supposed to come with six. 255 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.039 Put down three orders of chicken tenders and split them. 256 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.279 This is why you get paid minimum wage. 257 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:38.720 Damn it, justin Math is really hard when you're that high. 258 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.120 I swear to god, they were high, not even just 259 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.559 on that, something else too. And then the popcorn tasted 260 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.840 like crap. The soda was flat. And then and then 261 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.200 to come to find out, we ordered the IMAX three 262 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.960 D tickets for Superman, which I did not want three D, 263 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.519 but we had to go because that was onely thing 264 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.639 showing and did not say that on the tickets. 265 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.279 Yeah, I'm not going back to AMC. 266 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.279 So and then the kids got on Justin's lawn and 267 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.320 his whole night was ruined, and get off my lawn. 268 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.000 But that's the whole thing, right man. 269 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.759 I mean to your point earlier where you're like, the 270 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.639 movie industry is dying, I think it's I think it's 271 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.200 twofold here. I think there's two parts to this. One 272 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.919 is the equality of service the large chains is drastically diminished. 273 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.600 We honestly, we went to the Harkins Theater here in 274 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.440 old town Eravada and had a much better experience than AMC. 275 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.200 But the best experience we've had recently has been Alamo 276 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.600 Draft House. Hands down. 277 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.960 Alamo is I'll give it to al This is why 278 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.200 Alamo's killing AMC. 279 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:47.159 Alamo is good. 280 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.159 Is that one of those theaters because we have one 281 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.000 called roadhouse out here. That is you go, you sit 282 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.720 in a recliner, you get you get service, you get 283 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.360 a restaurant experience. You can order a dream your beverage there. 284 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.960 I mean, people really are liking that experience. They're paying 285 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:05.360 for it, but they like. 286 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.919 It, and that that's why Alamo's killing AMC. 287 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.639 But the other the so you you've got the decrease 288 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.919 in service, right, increase in costs, decrease in return on 289 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.600 what you're paying. You're paying more for movie tickets, you're 290 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.720 paying more more for crappier food. It's just you're not 291 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:26.120 getting a real return on that money. The other thing 292 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.480 is the people. And honestly, it's the other people in 293 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.840 the theater with me. Like if there's something in the 294 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.799 scene and I think I've got a hilarious joke or 295 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.720 some little comment, I will lean like really into Lee's 296 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.600 ear and just like really quietly whisperable respect to exactly 297 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.840 to make sure I don't bother somebody else. And then 298 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.279 some other dude in the background will be yelling at 299 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.759 the at the screen, or somebody's got their phone on 300 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.440 because they need to live stream that they're sitting at 301 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:54.919 this theater. 302 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.759 There's just a oh my god, guys, I'm here at 303 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.000 that new Superman and it's like right in the class 304 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.039 Mac scene and I'm just sitting here with all my 305 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.840 ten followers.
