Speaker 1: You're listening to the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's
Speaker 1: eighties station What three point one.
Speaker 2: Our friend Steven Presley.
Speaker 1: You can find him on Instagram at thunder pop Tv
Speaker 1: also on YouTube. Joins us every Friday to talk pop
Speaker 1: culture of things that are happening in Hollywood. And in
Speaker 1: this case, we're going to talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club reunion that happened in Chicago. We'll save
Speaker 1: that for just a moment. Let's start out. Are they
Speaker 1: really making a Toys r Us movie?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's in pre production. It's been greenlit.
Speaker 3: Toys r Us the movie. It's in the works. It's
Speaker 3: gonna it's a movie around the iconic toy store. And yes, uh,
Speaker 3: this is something that obviously is trying to tap into
Speaker 3: the nostalgia like Barbie did.
Speaker 4: Will it work with Toys r Us? Though, like it
Speaker 4: did with Barbie, if.
Speaker 1: They have all the characters and stuff and all the
Speaker 1: toys inside come alive or something, I could see that.
Speaker 5: Jeff the Giraffe like Solar jey Goo free.
Speaker 6: Spelled, Jeffrey had like a wife and kid, right, what
Speaker 6: did was have a missus Jeffrey and a little tiny
Speaker 6: draft guy.
Speaker 3: I think they did expand the universe at some point,
Speaker 3: and yeah, he had family, showed his family and then
Speaker 3: the movie.
Speaker 5: Is it closed and abandoned?
Speaker 7: I call the rest of them ak.
Speaker 5: I didn't know there were any left.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it a period piece or is it, like you said,
Speaker 3: is a dystopian version of that?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 3: Also, hey, before you make it, Toys r US movie,
Speaker 3: give me my Paul Paul Blart Mall Cop three. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because that movie is right for the making. You're talking
Speaker 3: about an abandoned store. You could do the mall is
Speaker 3: about to be closed with Paul Blart trying to save
Speaker 3: the mall.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Can we I mean, I admired toys.
Speaker 1: This is clearly a commercial for Toys r US trying
Speaker 1: to make a comeback.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: But can we all agree that there are just some
Speaker 1: things that need you just need to let go of,
Speaker 1: and Toys r US. Kids today are going to be
Speaker 1: just fine not going to Toys r US.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why aren't we chatting about this?
Speaker 8: I think when when Target rebranded, yeah a couple of
Speaker 8: decades ago. You remember they came back and they were
Speaker 8: really fashionable. All of a sudden it became cool and
Speaker 8: you know, the mommy's buying toys are going to go
Speaker 8: to Target first. Before it that Toys r Us was
Speaker 8: just it was dated when it last time I was there,
Speaker 8: just right when.
Speaker 7: It finally went away.
Speaker 2: Target went from targ Ghetto to Tarja. They did.
Speaker 1: They did a great job with that. Trisa boy. You
Speaker 1: should see the credit card bills from Target.
Speaker 5: Target's dangerous, man, it is.
Speaker 7: It is dangerous.
Speaker 6: And I think Target shot itself in the foot when
Speaker 6: they started the shop online and then you come and
Speaker 6: park and they bring it out to you. Because most
Speaker 6: of my money was spent on this stuff. I didn't
Speaker 6: know I need needed until I.
Speaker 7: Went into Target.
Speaker 6: I feel like they're losing a lot of money by
Speaker 6: not having everybody come into the store.
Speaker 7: Just my opinion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they did a research project on that.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying they lost some of my money for sure.
Speaker 1: Moving along, super Good Girl, Woman of Truth. What's this about?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know we know about the Superman movie. Of course,
Speaker 3: we've seen the trailers. It's coming out this summer. But
Speaker 3: the next summer after that, we're going to get the
Speaker 3: Supergirl movie. It's almost wrap filming. It's called Supergirl, Woman
Speaker 3: of Tomorrow, and Millie Alcock, who's a big star from
Speaker 3: House to Dragon, is going to be playing Supergirl.
Speaker 2: Is she that buck toothkit girl you told us about
Speaker 2: last week?
Speaker 4: Oh that Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 3: No, No, the other one from Amy Lee Wood from
Speaker 3: White Lotus, different actress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that can even apple through a fence.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, White Lotus actress. This one was
Speaker 3: the one you've seen a lot of the posters for
Speaker 3: the the original it's not actually House of Dragon. It
Speaker 3: was the show before House of Dragon, which was Game
Speaker 3: of Thrones.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the yeah, everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she had a real quirky look. Yeah, maybe maybe
Speaker 3: bad teeth too. I don't want to see a picture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a funny thing.
Speaker 1: It's a funny thing with especially like any English show
Speaker 1: that I watched that's made within the last ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen years, I struggle with it. Like I'm watching mob
Speaker 1: Land right now, and that's an English setting, English gangsters,
Speaker 1: English family and they all have perfect teeth wrong, Like, no,
Speaker 1: this is this is not authentic at all. That night
Speaker 1: and there's not a family in England that has teeth
Speaker 1: as night as nice as as those The harrigans do
Speaker 1: I'm telling you so?
Speaker 3: Anyway, Supergirl, when does that come out? It's coming out
Speaker 3: summer of twenty twenty six. This one promises to be
Speaker 3: more gritty than the Superman movie because Supergirl lived a
Speaker 3: harder life. She was raised on some rock floating around
Speaker 3: in space. Meanwhile, Superman's at that nice farm in Kansas
Speaker 3: with a nice family.
Speaker 4: She gets abandoned on a rock. Oh she's got.
Speaker 7: Some anger issues, then, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's gonna have some anger issues.
Speaker 1: Moving along to a classic from the nineteen eighties that
Speaker 1: still gets a lot of run The Breakfast Club. They
Speaker 1: had a reunion Did you say it was in Chicago?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole They got the band back together in
Speaker 3: Chicago for an event there, and they had a Q
Speaker 3: and A and this is Emilio said, you know, hey,
Speaker 3: I avoided these reunions for years, But something about this
Speaker 3: one that it was in Chicago where we originally filmed,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think they just scratched the right check check. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And that's.
Speaker 3: How they got everybody to show up, because even Judd
Speaker 3: Nelson would not appear in the brats Dock. And you
Speaker 3: remember this, Tricia, he finally shows up via a phone
Speaker 3: call at the end. Yeah, I think they have him
Speaker 3: kind of off. They just hear them over the phone. But
Speaker 3: he wouldn't do that. He refused to do the doc.
Speaker 3: But yet he did show up for this again. I
Speaker 3: think they just scratched the right check.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't have anything to do with that documentary
Speaker 6: at all. They chased him down through the whole thing,
Speaker 6: So I think you're right. Money finally got him.
Speaker 2: Who hurt him?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like that that made your career? Dude,
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you want to be a part of that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, But in that documentary, they all talked about how
Speaker 6: they were all pigeon holed, and they were saying that
Speaker 6: by being dubbed the brat Pack, it hurt their careers.
Speaker 6: It's not what put them on the map and then
Speaker 6: launched them into other things. They were all trying to
Speaker 6: dissociate from it to be able to have a further career.
Speaker 4: I almost said, a good documentary.
Speaker 1: It didn't hurt Rob Low. But Rob Low wasn't in that.
Speaker 1: He wasn't in the brat Pack, right.
Speaker 4: No, he wasn't.
Speaker 7: He was saying almost fire and some other ones, Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was almost fire. Yeah, oh last night. Mm
Speaker 4: hmm about last night some of the others, you know.
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of having a balance, having a
Speaker 3: great attitude about it and not coming off negative about it,
Speaker 3: but then all of a sudden being able to reinvent.
Speaker 3: And that's what Rob Low did. He was able to reinvent.
Speaker 3: He took smaller roles just to keep working. He was
Speaker 3: on he was on parks and for a while, and
Speaker 3: then he did that. I think he did a fireman show.
Speaker 3: This film here in Austin.
Speaker 8: Kind of helps him that he doesn't age and then oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a handsome man.
Speaker 5: Yes, for sure.
Speaker 1: Who's hotter him or John Stamoso?
Speaker 4: Rob Low?
Speaker 7: For sure?
Speaker 6: I had the Rob Low poster when he had the
Speaker 6: white tank top and the cream suit on the office shoulder.
Speaker 4: I had that.
Speaker 7: Poster when I was like in middle school.
Speaker 2: I wonder where it is. Do you still have it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: I don't still have that posters on my wall.
Speaker 1: Coming up Steve Stephen Presley from app thunder Pop TV
Speaker 1: on Instagram. He can fight him on YouTube as well.
Speaker 1: He's gonna stick around. Coming up boy. The Netflix CEO
Speaker 1: awfully proud of himself and his company, isn't and he's
Speaker 1: throwing down the gloves with movie theaters in Hollywood. Steven's
Speaker 1: got the details for us coming up on Austin's eighties
Speaker 1: station what Oh three point one and streaming on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. The Netflix CEO is pulling no punches. Wait
Speaker 1: till you hear what he has to say about Netflix,
Speaker 1: movie theaters and Hollywood. That's coming up. Stephen Presley as
Speaker 1: our guest. Find him on Instagram at thunder Pop Tv,
Speaker 1: also on YouTube same handle. But first, there's a TV
Speaker 1: show that's ending that I don't think any of us
Speaker 1: knew was even still on.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the rebranded version of Roseanne that was
Speaker 3: called The Connors. It's been on it made it for
Speaker 3: seven seasons as The Connors before they they just ended
Speaker 3: the show this week and a lot of people on
Speaker 3: some people were online upset because they felt like for
Speaker 3: the finale they were expecting some some kind of cameo
Speaker 3: from Roseanne, you know, either in a flashback or in
Speaker 3: some like she comes back as a ghost, and the
Speaker 3: producer said, you know, yeah, we didn't do that, but
Speaker 3: they do actually make her character part of the story
Speaker 3: arc in the finale.
Speaker 4: People have watched it may be aware of that.
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting, You know that what happened with
Speaker 3: her is not unlike what happened with Charlie Sheen, you know,
Speaker 3: being on a very popular show and then getting removed
Speaker 3: from the show because of their decisions that they made
Speaker 3: away from the show. And of course Seinfeldt said it
Speaker 3: was the most quickest way ever to end a career. Yeah,
Speaker 3: is through a tweet? Yeah, he said that's different. He said,
Speaker 3: that's a unique way to do it. At the time,
Speaker 3: I remember I remember him saying that what's crazy is
Speaker 3: is around this time, a lot of shows were being revitalized.
Speaker 3: They had you know, we just we have a Night
Speaker 3: Court revitalization now. But there was a Will and Will
Speaker 3: and Grace was brought back. Well, a lot of people
Speaker 3: might not know is Cosby was in development with NBC
Speaker 3: for a new show that sounded an awful lot like
Speaker 3: a Cosby show revitalization, and of course was that was
Speaker 3: can really quick. But can you imagine if that show
Speaker 3: had made it on TV like Roseanne around the same time,
Speaker 3: and then how they both had their issues.
Speaker 6: Oh, those Cosby's issue and Roseanne's were right around the
Speaker 6: same time.
Speaker 4: I think they were close to.
Speaker 3: I think Cosby was actually already had already happened before Roseanne.
Speaker 3: But if the timing of the Cosby thing had happened
Speaker 3: later and they had gotten that Cosby revitalization on TV
Speaker 3: before it happened, can you imagine how wild, how crazy
Speaker 3: that would have been.
Speaker 1: But think about it like this too. I mean, theo
Speaker 1: Huxtable's out there going, man, I need this gig.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's on one of the shows I currently watch
Speaker 6: called Alert.
Speaker 7: It's a theo hu show. Yeah, theo Huxtable. He's characters
Speaker 7: a little.
Speaker 2: Football player mustache.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a big, hulking guy. He's kind of got
Speaker 6: a really deep voice. His character is kind of a
Speaker 6: hard ass. And it's pretty good. It's just a show.
Speaker 6: I just kind of dabble in a little bit.
Speaker 4: As Lisa was married to Jason Moa.
Speaker 2: Once she married Lenny Kravitz too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, she.
Speaker 2: Was right Momoa and Kravitz. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Life, I think she did.
Speaker 5: I mean, and you say that like you thought about that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean, that's a pretty good combo.
Speaker 7: Hi bar for anybody after that?
Speaker 2: Who's next?
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the Netflix
Speaker 1: CEO and the claims that he is making.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Netflix ceo declared. Ceo declared, we're saving Hollywood. So
Speaker 3: we are saving Hollywood. And he said, by the way
Speaker 3: movie theaters are outdated, we're what people need now more
Speaker 3: and what.
Speaker 5: I kind of agree with him on that.
Speaker 8: I I just don't enjoy the theater experience most of
Speaker 8: the time, and home televisions and sound.
Speaker 2: Systems have gotten so good.
Speaker 8: I'd rather Jake, and I've always said they can figure
Speaker 8: out how to, you know, do first run movies at home.
Speaker 5: I'm all in, like that would be.
Speaker 6: Great immediate release to streaming.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But are the Netflix movies I mean, are the
Speaker 3: kind of what used to end up in red box?
Speaker 3: I mean, are they whenever you see the Netflix straight down?
Speaker 3: I mean there's been if there have been some good ones,
Speaker 3: but I'd say like one out of every maybe seven
Speaker 3: or eight is really good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, They're not consistently great. I totally agree with you
Speaker 6: on that. I all the time look around for something
Speaker 6: good to watch on Netflix and I mean the other
Speaker 6: streaming services too, and it's incredible how many options are
Speaker 6: out there. And then I end up a half hour
Speaker 6: later and have nothing to watch.
Speaker 1: It's just too much, see what I'm sorry?
Speaker 3: Well, well, the other gripe about Netflix is they put
Speaker 3: these shows on and they don't finish all of them.
Speaker 3: They pulled the rug out from under them and cancel
Speaker 3: some of them before they give them a proper finale,
Speaker 3: no closure. Yeah, and so they'll show stay on the
Speaker 3: streaming app And then if you're looking for shows to watch,
Speaker 3: say like a show like The Glow, which was the
Speaker 3: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling show that I watched that they
Speaker 3: ended abruptly. There's another show called Mine's Very.
Speaker 2: Bitter about.
Speaker 4: That canceled My Glow.
Speaker 7: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't even know about this.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine if some of our favorite like some
Speaker 8: of our favorite series in our life had no finale,
Speaker 8: they just went away like there was no Friends finale?
Speaker 8: Imagine right, Peo, no Sopranos finale.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what they're tough to do? A good finale
Speaker 1: is not easy, right, just wrap everything all up. I Mean,
Speaker 1: people seems like they're never happy with how things end.
Speaker 1: But I recently watched something had the perfect ending. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Yellowstone or Landman, one of those eight nineteen twenty three.
Speaker 2: I can't remember.
Speaker 8: Nineteen twenty three just ended and we were talking about
Speaker 8: it most recently.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a good That was a heck of
Speaker 5: a finale.
Speaker 2: A lot happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was good. Steven, thanks for spending time with us.
Speaker 1: We always appreciate it. Find him on Instagram at thunder
Speaker 1: Pop TV. Same thing on YouTube, and we'll do it
