We got a Netflix deal that might 16 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.079 give Harry and Meghan a lifeline to some kind of credibility. 17 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.120 And we got a legal battle brewing in Utah over 18 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.480 Mommy bloggers, and a travel controversy for the band UK subs. 19 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.280 And I think we got some other stuff cooking as well. Yeah, 20 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.120 Drake and Lamar and some Peruvian musicians being killed, all 21 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.640 that kind of stuff, right, here on Joe's goalante life 22 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.400 from Hollywoo. Let's first start with the box office, because 23 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.599 that's a big story this week. With the controversy surrounding 24 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.359 Snow White. Snow White, as you know, has been the 25 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.680 haters have come out more than I've ever seen them 26 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.079 come out for any movie in the world, and it's 27 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.280 a lot of them. Are are the people that feel 28 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.760 that Disney has become too woke, and I think they are, 29 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.760 you know, they this movie never had a shot and 30 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.359 Disney it definitely did get too woke, and they reversed 31 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.319 themselves in a few things, like the whole world got 32 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.719 too woke. I think everybody agrees that, except for the 33 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.239 people that thought it wasn't woke enough, and that's fine 34 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.799 for them too, But most people think it got too woke, 35 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.280 and Disney was kind of the center of it because 36 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.159 people are trying to raise their kids with Disney movies, 37 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.080 and then Disney movies have I think maybe the where 38 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.319 it jumped the shark is when they kept introducing gay 39 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.960 characters and a lot of Yeah, there's a lot of 40 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.159 families I've talked to too, They're like, wow, man, you know, 41 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.639 I just really don't want Disney to be the one 42 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.719 introducing that kind of stuff. So they get mad and 43 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.159 they start boycotting. I know people that won't go to Disneyland, 44 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.360 they won't have Disney Plus, they won't go into Disney Cruise, 45 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:38.919 they won't do anything. So they're always and they and 46 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.080 the last thing those people want is for a great 47 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.960 Disney movie to come out that they have to go 48 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.280 see despite their personal boycotts. Right, Sam wouldn't see that's 49 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.400 a problem for them. 50 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.800 I mean, I guess you think that. 51 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.039 You know, it's like any boycott, you're painting yourself into 52 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.439 a corner, like Target, you're boycotting Target. That I mean 53 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.840 it was the left, right was boycotting them. 54 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.759 Most people try to put their money or a lack 55 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.000 of money where their mouth is. 56 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:11.240 Yeah, well they tried to boycott Target and the right 57 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.599 did over. I forgot what it was, and then a 58 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.800 couple things, and then I didn't really run them out 59 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.639 of business. Now the left is boycotting Target. And you 60 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.919 know I'm not boycotting Target. Okay, I'm not boycotting anything 61 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.759 except for during lent on boycotting alcohol. 62 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:30.719 Let's see it. 63 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.680 My boycotts are relegated to the period between Ash Wednesday 64 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:42.240 and Good Friday. But so this movie has always had 65 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:47.159 this woke cloud around it. But start it's opened at 66 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.360 number forty. We'll get more to the cloud around it 67 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.960 a little bit. But it started at number one for 68 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.280 this weekend forty three million, and the number two movie 69 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.240 only got four million. Black Bag Captain America got another 70 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.639 four million, another four million from Mickey seventeen. The Korean 71 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.439 film Novacane What fell from number one to number five 72 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.919 three point seven. I think that's a drop. I remember 73 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.599 Sam and I said, I think this movie isn't as 74 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.360 good as the trailer. Yeah, And after a few people 75 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.399 see it, it's just the people are going to go in. 76 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:21.000 Did you like it? 77 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:21.279 Yeah? 78 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:22.959 Did you see the trailer? And it's about it. That's 79 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.160 my guest. So that one's about halfway down the top ten. 80 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.439 Alto Knights number six. I don't know a lot about 81 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.040 The Day the Earth Blew Up a Looney Tunes movie, 82 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.079 fifteen weeks on the charts, Incredible number seven, The Monkey 83 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.399 number eight, dog Man number nine, The Last Supper number ten, 84 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.000 and Paddington Bear in Peru otherwise known as Cocaine Bear 85 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:50.720 two is number eleven. So let's go to snow White. 86 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.279 Did you see snow White? Sam? 87 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.639 I did not good for you. 88 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.160 You have children, You've got to boycott these films. 89 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.439 No, I just okay. 90 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.600 I congratulate you for your stagging me up for your beliefs. 91 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:05.879 My only belief in this whole thing is that I 92 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.079 don't like the live actioning of old animated classics come 93 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:09.959 up with new stuff. 94 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.439 Disney. 95 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.639 Yeah, that's a lot of people I even know Disney employees. 96 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.480 Like I had one friend that was in charge of 97 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.639 like all the gear that would be checked out at 98 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.079 Disney Studios to go make these movies. And he was 99 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.959 the grumpiest person I ever knew, because he had this 100 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.720 great job at this great studio, but the only movies 101 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.879 he was involved in were things like, Oh, here's another 102 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.079 live action l Animal King, here's a live action Dumbo. 103 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.759 We'll get to live action Dumbo pretty soon in this episode. 104 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.800 So snow White opens at forty three million domestically eighty 105 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.040 seven point three million globally. Might sound like a lot 106 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.079 of money, but for a film that costs two hundred 107 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.600 and seventy million to make, and that's just the number 108 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.120 they admit to, I'm sure it's much higher. It's really light. 109 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.639 It's not a good number. I mean, I think everybody 110 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.199 knows wo be a bad number, and they might even think, like, wow, 111 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.399 that's much better than it could have been consider all 112 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.160 the hate, and I'm not. I'm thinking like YouTube episodes 113 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.560 after YouTube episodes dedicated to how this movie is going 114 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.800 to be terrible basically, and now they're coming out and 115 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.680 say it's a flop, all this kind of stuff, and 116 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.399 it might be a flop. And the reason why a 117 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.639 couple of reasons. Number one reason is Rachel Zegler coming 118 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.319 out and disparaging the original. Now, if you're trying to 119 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.399 get people from Disney to go see your Disney remake 120 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.120 of the live action thing, people already don't really like 121 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.560 the whole live action remake thing. But if you come 122 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.959 out and say we're gonna do it so different, why 123 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.720 because the original was harmful to you. It was bad 124 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.439 and you should not have ever liked it. It represented 125 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.279 the patrimony and a weak woman. So how dare you 126 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.879 for like, you must be stupid if you liked it. 127 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.600 And that's I think she made people feel she's smart, 128 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.199 she's from Hollywood. We're dumb. We liked snow White did 129 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:00.920 you like Snow White? 130 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.879 I didn't care for it either one way. 131 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.000 Or you must be a genius. Sam. I liked it, 132 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:07.680 and I'm an. 133 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.040 Easy I am a genius. 134 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:10.160 Yes, definitely. 135 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.399 How time somebody recognized it, Yeah. 136 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.240 You're a genius. I'm a complete idiot. So you know 137 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.199 that hurts and people that started to hate. And then 138 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.600 they released a picture do you remember this of the 139 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.920 of the of the so called Dwarfs? No, I remember this. 140 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.600 You saw any of the pictures of the Dwarfs. 141 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.959 Yeah, they released a picture and they said, look at 142 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.000 the look at Disney's Dwarfs. Oh my gosh. It looked 143 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.480 like if you were a Disney hater and you wanted 144 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.000 to make a fake, like if you were looking at 145 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.920 like it going to put it into like a generative 146 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.439 AI program and say, what do you think woke Disney 147 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.079 will make the Dwarfs look like in the upcoming live 148 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.279 action remake of Snow White, it would have drawn these 149 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.120 ragtag group of inclusive rainbow people. Uh. It looked like 150 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.480 a six or seven people that just got kicked out 151 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.439 of the Renaissance fair. 152 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.000 But that's what everybody in snow White looks like. 153 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.040 All right, Sam, I'm not going to have you making 154 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.959 excuses for these Dwarfs. All right, the. 155 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.680 World, it's not the Dwarves. 156 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.600 It was the era so the Dwarfs. It turns out, Sam, 157 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.360 when you watch the movie, those weren't the Dwarfs, and 158 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.639 Disney said those aren't the Dwarves, but no one believed him. 159 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.800 They then they just decided they had to retool the movie, 160 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.679 so they pushed it back a year. It was supposed 161 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.759 to come out in March of twenty twenty four. Then 162 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.120 during this Dwarf controversy, they say, okay, we have to 163 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.600 put it out a year later. We're pushing it. 164 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.639 Okay. 165 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.600 That made everybody think, aha, we did so much good 166 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.120 hating they're changing the Dwarfs. So here it comes out 167 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.919 a year later and people are saying, well, they made 168 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.759 cgi Dwarfs, and nobody had very good things to say 169 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.639 about him before the movie came out. Now the Dwarfs 170 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.440 that you saw that you thought were the Dwarfs are 171 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.519 not there are. They're a ragtag group of rebels to 172 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:13.039 the Queen's Kingdom, loyal to the old king, and uh yeah, 173 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.200 they're nothing. I mean, they're they're like nothing to write 174 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.639 home about. They're just you know, it's more of this, like, 175 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.200 how dare you not like ragtag people like this? Okay, 176 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.799 I get it. Now the dwarfs, what are they like? 177 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.840 This is another reason why this movie is suffering. There's 178 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.759 a doorbate. There's a debate over this, the portrayal, portrayal 179 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:36.039 of these dwarfs and the CGI use. The dwarves are 180 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.240 not real, They're just CGI characters, which is fine, but 181 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:46.120 these dwarves are ugly. They look like they're so ugly 182 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.919 they could have been cast in the chorus of the 183 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:55.399 Wicked movie, where the real ugly people are. 184 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.840 I'm seeing a difference here though, because some something similar 185 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.679 with the Sonic the Hedgehog movie a few years ago, 186 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.919 where the original Sonic that they had was one that 187 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.559 everybody who is a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog complained 188 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.759 about it so vociferously and so vehemently that they ended 189 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.200 up retooling. They said that we're going to go back 190 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.039 into production for an extra few months. They retooled it, 191 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.519 came up with a new looking Sonic the Hedgehog, and 192 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.960 now it's a it's a trilogy, and it's a very 193 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.039 good one. I enjoy watching that Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy. 194 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.240 Now, maybe maybe they should have done that. 195 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.559 Do you feel like the people who are complaining about 196 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.120 the Dwarves in this are complaining about it because they 197 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.000 want to retool it because they're such huge fans of it, 198 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.679 or are they people who are just naturally since they 199 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.399 are so anti woke, that they're just trying to disparage 200 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.200 any part of the movie, And then once the numbers 201 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.799 come out low because everybody's been poo pooing it and 202 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.679 talking trash about it, then they point to it and say, Haha, 203 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.440 see it. It's the ant it's the woke stuff that's 204 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.480 going wrong, and not the fact that we spent months 205 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.399 leading up to it denigrating it. 206 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.120 I think it's part of It's a little bit of 207 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:07.039 everything the Dwarfs. Like if you I watched this movie 208 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.159 with open mind because I knew there would be hype, 209 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.480 the woke stuff is pretty much hype. Guess what, there's 210 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.159 no gay characters in this movie. Okay, there's plenty of 211 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:19.360 gay Dwarf. There's plenty of opportunities to like introduce some 212 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:27.519 gay characters or oh at least not in reinforce the 213 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.440 nature of every boy must be with the girl and 214 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.399 every girl with the boy. It reinforces that if anything, 215 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.519 Prince Charming and Princess go hand in hand, girl Ragtag 216 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.279 goes with guy Ragtag. There's no you know, there's none 217 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.480 of that there. So you know, I'm here with an 218 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.200 open mind. You know, it's just a regular movie to me, 219 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.399 with bad Cgi dwarves. And the songs are okay, they're 220 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.720 not They're okay. But they kept a lot of the 221 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.840 original songs which are great, like high Hoe and whistle 222 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.320 while you work. Hitler is a jerk, hit my, you 223 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.960 know what, bit my, you know what? Now it does 224 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.799 not work. That's what we used to sing when I 225 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.320 was a kid in the playgrounds. And then hi ho 226 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.320 hi ho, it's off just to work. We go with 227 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.240 hang grin nids and razor blades. Hi ho, hi ho, 228 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.320 hi ho hi ho. We had a lot of fun 229 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:14.759 with these songs. 230 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.240 That one lasted for a while. 231 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.320 You remember that one. 232 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.080 Oh yeah, that one made all the way through the 233 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:19.919 eighties and nineties. 234 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:25.200 Yeah, that's a great one. So, uh, the songs are okay. 235 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.279 The old ones are good. The new ones are just okay, 236 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.720 And they sing a little bit too derivative of Frozen songs, 237 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.480 but Rachel Ziggler's voice is fantastic. 238 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.559 So they chance hi ho to hi ho hi Ho. 239 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.399 Doesn't sound like that good, but Rachel Ziggler's voice amazing, amazing, 240 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:53.759 so it kind of carries the movie. So the there's 241 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.679 another controversial with Gal Gadot as the evil Queen, and 242 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.879 I think everybody agrees this is really bad casting. She's 243 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:06.200 box office gold, but she's so beautiful. There's not one 244 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.360 angle of her that even remotely makes you think, oh, yeah, 245 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.799 maybe she's evil. It's more like, if that's evil, then 246 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.559 I'm evil. So you don't get the drama there. It's 247 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.480 gone because she's just too beautiful, more beautiful than snow white. 248 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.919 So that was just a mistake. The dwarves are a 249 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:35.120 mistake because they're ugly. Remember the old dwarves, You know, 250 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.639 they were cute. They were all cute, lovable, you want 251 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.759 to cuddle with them. These dwarves look like they smell okay. 252 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.240 And they're all cg ones, right, yeah. 253 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.519 They're all cg And they look like they smell like 254 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:55.000 burnt baloney, and they have bad breath, and the clothes 255 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.399 are musty and dopey. Used to be the cutest of 256 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.559 them all. Now he just looks like some white trash 257 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.960 guy that can kind of dance better than the other ones. 258 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.279 So that I believe that's a mistake in that it 259 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.679 was gonna suffer anyway from that, But then the woke 260 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.519 thing and Rachel Zegler just doomed it because it's not 261 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:21.360 bad like the movie they're comparing it to Dumbo. Tim 262 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.039 Burton's Dumbo is a bad movie that had forty six 263 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.120 million in a time when box offices were generally higher. 264 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.200 But they're comparing it to that. But that movie, it 265 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.000 was just a bad movie. And I told when a 266 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.600 word of mouth, I walked out of the theater and 267 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.600 the first person I saw, I said, that's a bad movie. 268 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.720 Don't see it. This movie, I would encourage everybody to 269 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.720 see it. It's fun. It's just not as good as 270 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.000 other Disney movies like Snow White or Swiss Family, Robinson 271 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.200 or The Love Bug or Joe's Favorite Blackbeard's Ghost. But 272 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.120 you know, if you got kids, you gotta take gotta 273 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.679 take them. 274 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.879 Herby the love Bug. That's one that needs to make 275 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.639 a comeback. That's one that I can see being relevant today. 276 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.200 Yeah, But Lindsay, Lindsay Lohan already made one a couple 277 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:04.679 of years ago. 278 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.320 Yeah. No, no, that that's a I mean, like. 279 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.639 A quality one, one that actually is good because they're 280 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.159 self driving cars nowadays. 281 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.639 How about when made when made by Quentin Tarantino. 282 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.159 Oh no, no, no, I don't want to like make 283 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.600 it into a dark you know, like, how about Guy 284 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.440 Richard Herbie goes on a like Herbie goes on an 285 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.960 AI crime fest. 286 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:33.679 Okay, Guy Richie, now it he made Aladdin live action Aladdin? 287 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.799 Yeah, no, anybody who's done a live action anything animated 288 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:37.840 needs to be held out of this. 289 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:39.919 They need to be a rock tied to him and 290 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:41.759 thrown in the ocean. I think I'm hearing you say. 291 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.639 No, put him on a life life raft. They can survive. 292 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.600 Just put him out. Put him in from a freaking camera. 293 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.320 Yeah. 294 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.480 Okay, so that was a problem, the Galgadot thing, and 295 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.000 then the comparisons, you know, they make it the Dumbo. 296 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.919 It's yeah, it's pretty bad. Now here's a live action 297 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.919 Little Mermaid, which was wildly successful, opening up to ninety 298 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.399 five point five million. But that's without the controversy. Okay, Well, 299 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.039 some movies did have controversies, like Catwoman of twenty twelve, 300 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.799 and it did better than that one. In twenty twelve. 301 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.240 Did you know there were two live action snow White movies? 302 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.399 There were, Yeah, snow White and The Huntsman and Mirror Mirror. 303 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.480 Oh yeah, yeah, like Kristen, I walked that Kristin. 304 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.960 Out of my mind because of that Kristin Stewart. 305 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.000 I lost my picture of me and Kristin Stewart. Isn't 306 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.440 that sad? 307 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.639 That is? But you seem like the kind of guy 308 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.000 that can make that happen again. 309 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.720 Oh maybe case Snowhite and Huntsman had the girl from 310 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.840 Emily in Paris in it, and those movies are considered 311 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.879 a little bit better now. Okay, so the audience, it 312 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:59.480 got a Cinema score of B plus, which is low 313 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.639 for a disny movie of this type. Rotten Tomatoes gave 314 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.119 it a seventy four percent kind of mixed critical reception. Now, 315 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.119 the critical the critics are trying to build it up 316 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.480 because the critics are generally pretty lefty and they want 317 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.960 to fight the woke mob, and so they they push 318 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.440 it up just the way the same way they do 319 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.680 when there's a Christian movie, they push it down. These 320 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.599 are just facts. So it's seventy four percent. You know, 321 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.720 it tells you it's not terrible. It's not great. Younger 322 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.119 girls like the movie. Mostly in the theater that I 323 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:34.599 went to was mostly young girls, including my wife, my 324 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:40.519 teen bride, Sandra, who while buying the popcorn, the cashier 325 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.880 said to my wife, you are so pretty. She was 326 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.960 just not even made up, she just wearing her Saturday clothes. 327 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.839 I don't know what to say when someone says that, like, 328 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.559 I feel like I have to chime in, And I 329 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.160 can't say you should have seen her when I met 330 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.519 her and she was sixteen or whatever she was when 331 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.279 I'm in her. I can't say that because then it 332 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.279 means like, oh little, she's older now. So I say, well, 333 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.359 we've been married twenty nine years. What do you think 334 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.119 of that? I'm like, what is it all about you? Joe. 335 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.359 I'm just it's just awkward when they say and they 336 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:19.279 say that all the time. Okay, So uh that's my 337 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.039 review of snow Why. I think it's the best review 338 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.880 you're gonna find. It's honest. Go see it some problem see. 339 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.799 I appreciate that you you swam against the anti woke 340 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.759 tide and keep it's an honest review. 341 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.359 I appreciate that, and I wanted to. I always like 342 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.680 to swim against the tide. But if it's woke and 343 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.599 stupid and lame, I'm gonna tell you but this one 344 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.039 was good. 345 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:43.720 It was good. 346 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.480 It was a good movie. Now just be it's not. 347 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.079 And it's not like I'm rooting for Disney. Just because 348 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.480 I sunk two million dollars into a Disney home in 349 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.160 the desert doesn't mean I want by the way, with that, 350 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.200 I want them to succeed. 351 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.960 See what that looks like? That is outstanding. 352 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.720 No, you can know, anybody can go. I posted on 353 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.039 my Facebook, I go a, yeah, we bought one of 354 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.200 these lots they're building the house. Go to Cootino if 355 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.599 you're anywhere in the LA And a couple of people 356 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.599 have taken me up on this because you're thinking, well, 357 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.559 I don't have enough money, I don't want to buy 358 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.799 one of those. Well there are some cheap ones and 359 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.720 they're building some condos right on the lake. My house 360 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:17.960 is not right on the lake because they're going to 361 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.799 build condos on the lake because they're clever. Mine's just 362 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.200 like a block away. But if the artificial lake, the 363 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:31.079 artificial crystal Lagoon.

Okay, 379 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:04.640 all right, now I got you want to go to 380 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:10.400 some other news. Yeah, I'm tired, okay. In a shocking 381 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.559 Hollywood scandal, director Carl Eric Rinch, known for the film 382 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:19.559 forty seven Ronan, has been charged with fraud, accused of 383 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.200 swindling Netflix out of staggering eleven million dollars and more. 384 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.160 That's right. Federal prosecutors say that Rynch was given the 385 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.680 money to complete a sci fi series called White Horse, 386 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:36.880 but instead he blew it on risky investments, crypto currency 387 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.839 whatever that is, and a lavish lifestyle. We're talking rolls 388 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:48.599 Royce's luxury furniture and even paying for his divorce lawyers wow, 389 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:54.960 and his younger wife. So it's not like he took 390 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.920 the money and ran. He actually lost a lot of 391 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.799 it in bad stock trades, then made it back with crypto. 392 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.079 But instead of finishing the movie, he sued Netflix for 393 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.000 even more money, claiming they still owed him. Can you 394 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.599 imagine this? So he gets some money, and I've got 395 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.920 I've been in this situation, you know. I make these 396 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.400 shows for Fox Nation and they send me, you know, 397 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.119 big giant checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars that's 398 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.799 in my name. I could go, you know what if 399 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.480 I put it in a cryptocurrency, made more, put that 400 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.640 money aside, and then use the money for the production. 401 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.400
