Speaker 1: Let's get into a little bit of television and movies.
Speaker 2: Shall we escape time? What you watch on Wednesday?
Speaker 3: The following program is brought to you in living color,
Speaker 3: but you watch it in there. Americans love television. They
Speaker 3: win their kids USA television match.
Speaker 1: You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 1: How to Train Your Dragon is expected to have a
Speaker 1: nice fast start at the box office. This is a
Speaker 1: live action remake. They say it's going to make between
Speaker 1: seventy and eighty million dollars in the first weekend, overtaking
Speaker 1: Lelo and Stitch, which took the first three weeks and
Speaker 1: a rows brought in more than seven hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five million dollars worldwide.
Speaker 3: It looks pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: The materialists I saw this advertised, it looks good. It's
Speaker 1: about a matchmaker. Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans. I'll
Speaker 1: all go see that, probably because I'm a girl and
Speaker 1: I like a little rom com when it slaps me
Speaker 1: in the face, Is that what that is? I think?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: Okay, I just thought it involved a matchmaker, and I'm
Speaker 1: thinking if it involves a matchmaker, it's some woman who's
Speaker 1: a matchmaker and she's matchmaking and then finds her match,
Speaker 1: and that's just it's a formulaic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hi, Gary and Shannon, this is Kathleen from Rancho
Speaker 5: Santa Margarita and I am watching Department Q on Netflix.
Speaker 5: Really a good British show. I highly recommend it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: great day, thank you.
Speaker 2: I've been curious about that one.
Speaker 1: It keeps being referenced to me or pushed to me
Speaker 1: on Netflix, and we heard about that last week as well.
Speaker 2: People seem to like.
Speaker 3: That, right, I still I had the same thing mine.
Speaker 3: It keeps showing up in my in my list of
Speaker 3: things that I might like. And it's based on a
Speaker 3: Danish movie apparently, or a series of Danish films, and
Speaker 3: then this version of it is based in Scotland.
Speaker 1: Is it a crime thriller tie or it's a series.
Speaker 3: Uh series of noir Danish Nordic noir crime novels. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I like that. The Department Q is a series of
Speaker 3: ten novels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Danish novels.
Speaker 1: Crime novels in particular are a whole genre, a whole niche,
Speaker 1: and people love them and they're they're really well done.
Speaker 2: I just haven't fallen into that yet.
Speaker 3: They're always very dark. Yeah, I very much. So that's
Speaker 3: what I recall from the couple, that you like darkness.
Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, I do. It depends on what time
Speaker 3: of year. That to me is a fall late fall
Speaker 3: kind of a series. Okay, you're already cold. Maybe the
Speaker 3: fireplace is on to keep you. Yeah, I understand that,
Speaker 3: but not when it's ninety four degrees outside. That That
Speaker 3: one I don't think is going to be my thing.
Speaker 3: But maybe watching Dayline. Dayline is always awesome. Dance Department
Speaker 3: Q yep, Netflix and WHITELOADUS season three.
Speaker 2: White Load What a waste of my time?
Speaker 1: Hi, I love you. I did think that Weight LOADUS
Speaker 1: season three was a waste of time. Though.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't stand any of those people. I didn't
Speaker 2: like any of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got the whole Parker posy thing funny
Speaker 1: ha ha la razapam, But like I just I didn't
Speaker 1: root for any of them.
Speaker 2: They were all awful.
Speaker 1: I get what they're trying to do in terms of,
Speaker 1: you know, making fun of the class and the rich
Speaker 1: and how they vacation and their alleged problems. I it
Speaker 1: wore thin on me. I just I thought it was
Speaker 1: a waste of time. Would you if it was clever? Well,
Speaker 1: it's the third season now, is it kind of a
Speaker 1: repeat of.
Speaker 2: The other Maybe? I mean, maybe I'm just over it. Hi, Shannon,
Speaker 2: this is Holly in Florida.
Speaker 4: And I know what. You're not watching The Mormon Wives
Speaker 4: season two because we wouldn't be having all this ketamine talk.
Speaker 4: That young dark haired girl with the blonde, crueler haired,
Speaker 4: gambling attic husband that broke up last time around or whatever,
Speaker 4: they do ketamine and like one of the first episodes
Speaker 4: together out of facility, apparently she does it all the
Speaker 4: time and it was his first time.
Speaker 2: Girl.
Speaker 1: I gobbled The Secret Lives and Mormon Wives up in
Speaker 1: like the first weekend. I couldn't get enough of that.
Speaker 1: I finished that weeks ago. Now I don't remember the kenemy,
Speaker 1: probably because I just burned through that series. I don't
Speaker 1: remember the ketamine thing, but I guess I vaguely remember
Speaker 1: it now. But yeah, that's a great show. I mean,
Speaker 1: and one of my friends said that she too was
Speaker 1: addicted to it, and she goes, but it's so unsatisfying,
Speaker 1: And I thought, what a great word to describe that show.
Speaker 1: And really, most reality television is you want to see
Speaker 1: what happens. You want to see the train wreck and
Speaker 1: you finish the episodes and you're like, I feel so unfulfilled.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Fluff food. It's a it's a empty Calagi Union waiver
Speaker 3: in that. There's no there's not a lot of taste
Speaker 3: to it. I mean, you're being a little sacrilegious.
Speaker 2: Probably we're talking about the Body of Christ.
Speaker 3: Pull back from that. On Apple TV, you and I
Speaker 3: both saw the first episode of Stick with Owen Wilson,
Speaker 3: and I haven't gotten around to see the other There's
Speaker 3: two other episodes that are out, and I think episodes
Speaker 3: two and three came out that day, and then episode
Speaker 3: four comes out today.
Speaker 1: I don't remember my problem with it, other than feeling
Speaker 1: it was kind of weak stream and if it wasn't
Speaker 1: Owen Wilson, I definitely won't watch it.
Speaker 2: And if it's going to be about golf, make it
Speaker 2: about golf.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 2: It's not. It's about personal things.
Speaker 3: They refer to Owen Wilson is this golf golf professional,
Speaker 3: washed up golfer who then becomes sort of a course
Speaker 3: pro somewhere sees this young prodigy who doesn't want to
Speaker 3: have anything to do with golf, but is really awesome
Speaker 3: at it Now it turns out that the young kid
Speaker 3: had some issues with his dad, but it also has
Speaker 3: that Owen Wilson had issues with a or a child
Speaker 3: that's been lost, but we don't know is it dead
Speaker 3: or is it gone right.
Speaker 1: That's why I stopped watching the flashbacks of the Sun
Speaker 1: and that whole bit, and I thought.
Speaker 3: It was gonna be funny.
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be about golf and like,
Speaker 1: get me back into it, get me in the game,
Speaker 1: and like get me it made me feel competitive again,
Speaker 1: and there's none of that. It was just why is
Speaker 1: every Ginny and Georgia same thing? It's all about trauma
Speaker 1: this season. What is it about trauma? Why are we
Speaker 1: dying to be entertained by trauma? Why are we falling
Speaker 1: into like a preteen weird thing of wanting trauma because
Speaker 1: it makes us interesting?
Speaker 3: What is it? It's like when you get that bruise
Speaker 3: on your leg and you just want to poke it.
Speaker 1: That's why we like the Mormon Wives, you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: give me some crap to watch.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about no bruises trauma.
Speaker 3: You had mentioned this off the air. I think it
Speaker 3: was Season four of The Bear comes out in two
Speaker 3: weeks actually, June twenty fifth. All episodes are going to drop,
Speaker 3: all ten episodes of season four. One of the wildly popular,
Speaker 3: award winning series. I think it took a lot of
Speaker 3: people by storm a few years ago in a debut. Yeah,
Speaker 3: great show, and then they went for two years. Well,
Speaker 3: it debuted in twenty two and then each June basically
Speaker 3: it has come out with the new season. So not
Speaker 3: a great show, It is a fantastic show. We just
Speaker 3: finished Mobland on Paramount Plus and it was so much
Speaker 3: better than I expected it. There were a couple of
Speaker 3: times where the accents got a little thick and you
Speaker 3: kind of missed some of the dialogue. But Tom Hardy
Speaker 3: as sort of the enforcer for this mob family is incredible.
Speaker 3: And Helen Mirren is a bad bee to the point
Speaker 3: where you do not like her. She and I love her.
Speaker 3: I did not like her that you you constantly want
Speaker 3: her to get her come.
Speaker 2: Up and oh wow that she's evil.
Speaker 3: Huh very evil? Okay, very very evil. But she does
Speaker 3: a great job. I said, Tom Hardy does a great job.
Speaker 3: Helen Mirren is married to Pierce Brosnan as the head
Speaker 3: of this crime family and they're fighting another crime family,
Speaker 3: you know, mob stuff.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 1: I don't see Pierce Brosnan as being ahead of a
Speaker 1: mob family.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does a he does a pretty good job,
Speaker 3: but it gets it's out of hand, it's crazy out
Speaker 3: of hand, but it kind of it scratched that that
Speaker 3: old Peaky Blinder's.
Speaker 2: Itch that you have and your wife like that one
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and it's it's modern day, it's not you know,
Speaker 3: Peaky Blinders was back in the thirties and well, twenties,
Speaker 3: thirties and forties. This this is obviously modern day. But
Speaker 3: some good, good moments in this that Tom Hardy I
Speaker 3: think was probably the highlight for me, because he plays
Speaker 3: this guy that's kind of caught doing things he doesn't
Speaker 3: necessarily want to do as the enforcer guy, the clean
Speaker 3: up guy in a lot of cases, and he's got
Speaker 3: some incredible scenes of just being calm at times when
Speaker 3: other people would be losing their absolute minds.
Speaker 2: That's fun. That's always fun to say.
Speaker 3: To the point where it's almost prison crazy. I like that,
Speaker 3: like that, which is good. And then we started The
Speaker 3: Better Sister. This is Jessica Bill and Elizabeth Banks. I
Speaker 3: keep wanting to say Elizabeth Cherkeley or Hurley or Berkeley
Speaker 3: or she or No, it's Elizabeth Banks and they play sisters,
Speaker 3: convoluted relationship. No spoiler to tell you that Julie, Juliet
Speaker 3: what's her name, Jessica Biel is raising her sister's son
Speaker 3: with her sister's ex boyfriend or I'm sorry, ex husband,
Speaker 3: the father of the out.
Speaker 2: Right out the gate.
Speaker 3: But the husband is the one who was killed in
Speaker 3: the first episode. So they're trying to figure out who
Speaker 3: did it. There's accusations that are flying. The kid I
Speaker 3: think is like, I think they're playing him as seventeen
Speaker 3: years old or something like that. He's a giant human being,
Speaker 3: so he looks older than that, but he's got this
Speaker 3: baby face. So it's this it's this kind of a
Speaker 3: murder mystery thriller to kind of see.
Speaker 2: What everyone's got a motive.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got a motive, and the relationship is obviously fraud
Speaker 3: between these two sisters. One of them, Elizabeth Banks, pretty
Speaker 3: heavy into drugs and was abusive and manipulative and all
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. But then it turns out they
Speaker 3: also had an awful childhood together, split apart for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: the kid you know, goes to live with his aunt
Speaker 3: basically becomes his mom, and she takes up with the father.
Speaker 2: It sounds very dark, but there's a couple of.
Speaker 3: Very light moments in it which are funny, okay, between
Speaker 3: these two sisters, because Jessica Biel has played in plenty
Speaker 3: of comedies as obviously as Elizabeth Banks has as well,
Speaker 3: and they drop a couple of lines in there that
Speaker 3: is just sisterly, you know, siblings kind of going after
Speaker 3: each other without the vitriol, without the anger, without the
Speaker 3: frustration of their past. And it's still three episodes in.
Speaker 3: It's still pretty good.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought that you picked the would pick that,
Speaker 1: but you said you were anxious to see it and
Speaker 1: then but because I wanted to give it a chance,
Speaker 1: I wanted to see what was going on. So I
Speaker 1: like Jessica Biele and stuff. Elizabeth Banks I still see
Speaker 1: is in Hunger Games. I still see her as Effie
Speaker 1: I have. I know she's been in a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff and that's wildly unfair, but that's still kind of
Speaker 1: how I see her. Probably because I just read another
Speaker 1: Hunger Games book,
