In this exciting episode of Pop Culture Weekly, the rotating panel of guest hosts returns, this time with the delightful Amanda Baez.  

In 'What's Out This Week', they examine the evolution of Eminem's personas, focusing on the return of Slim Shady on his latest album, "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)." They discuss Katy Perry's new single "Woman's World" off her upcoming album 143 & explore JoJo Siwa's release of her "Guilty Pleasure" album - as well as her controversial comments about creating a new genre called "gay pop." 

And they both share their excitement for the new film 'Longlegs' exploring its intriguing plot involving an FBI agent and the occult. Kyle and Amanda also discuss the pros and cons of movie trailers and Kyle's love for the Regal Unlimited Pass.

In 'What We Watched This Week', they discuss the latest films and TV shows they watched, including "MaXXXine", "A Quiet Place: Day One," and the latest "House of the Dragon" episode.

The Feature Presentation finds them sharing their favorite summer movies, from nostalgic picks like "The Sandlot" to classics like "Jaws." The conversation also touches on our marine biology aspirations, the impact of the National Lampoon's Vacation movies, and the joys of tracking films on Letterboxd. Join us as we celebrate the magic of cinema and the unique ways movies connect us to our past and each other - in Summer and beyond.

course, I'm Kyle McMahon and I
am joined. We are bringing back the

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:35.359
rotating panel of guest hosts and I
am joined for the first time by the

7
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.159
promo girl herself, Amanda Biez.
What's up? Hey, what's up?

8
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.719
How are you? I'm good?
How are you good? You are relatively

9
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.119
new to I Heart what the last
two months or so? Yeah? I

10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.600
got hired in May, okay,
so two months? Yeah, yeah,

11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.719
And what do you think it's good? Yeah? I like it. It's

12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.600
a lot of learning, it's a
lot of kind of see where I fit

13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.600
in and what my interests are.
And it's just been a great experience.

14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.599
I love working with Krista. She's
Krista Cooper. Yeah, shout out to

15
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.079
Krista because she is just so she's
so amazing. And what about me,

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.120
He's also here, to be honest, No, you're great too, So

17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.319
I love that you put up with
my I don't want to say crap,

18
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.159
but like crap, like everything that
comes with me, like my craziness.

19
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:34.879
Like today, for instance, I
look like a seventy four year old sun

20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.920
burnt corpse because I am doing these
as you know, I'm doing these photona

21
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.760
laser treatments. Yeah, courtesy of
my friends at Care Aesthetics and Delaware.

22
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.359
They are amazing. But what happens
is I go and they do all this

23
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.400
crazy magic. But then like the
next three days, I'm like this.

24
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.560
Then you guys can't see obviously,
but I am super red, super swollen

25
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.519
and kind of look like a corpse. Well, you know, the beauty

26
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.959
is pain, that is true,
they say. So it takes time,

27
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.039
it does, and then in four
days I'll look, you know, amazing.

28
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.159
Trust the process. Trust the process. It's hard to trust the process

29
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:21.159
and the process isn't processing. I
guess, just trust it. We're going

30
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.080
to make that an ig quote.
Trust the process, even though it's hard

31
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:32.960
to trust the process when the process
is processing. Yeasing. All right,

32
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.719
So I'm really excited because we haven't
done this format with Pop Culture Weekly in

33
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.120
years, like literally it might have
been COVID because you know, every all

34
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.960
the other talents were in here regularly, and so I had a rotating panel

35
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.800
of guest hosts that every week,
you know, maybe we had six people

36
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.360
that every week we would rotate.
So I had somebody that would like join

37
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.879
me and we would just gus stuff. And then that all went away with

38
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.439
COVID where it's just me by myself
in this building. Yeah, it was

39
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.240
like and then you know, somebody
said something about you know, one of

40
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.879
the listeners was like, when are
you going to bring back the thing?

41
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.280
And I'm like, clearly you're saying
that I'm boring by myself, But that's

42
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.360
fine, so let's do it.
And I also do like being I like

43
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.560
interacting, you know what I mean. It's just better this way. So

44
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.240
anyway, so we're also going back
to the old format now that we can,

45
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:38.759
which is the first segment is what's
out this week? I had to

46
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.439
find that. So in movies,
Long Legs. Have you heard of Long

47
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.080
Legs? No? Okay, So
I'm a huge horror fan. Wait I

48
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.120
have. I've seen all of these
commercials for it. Yeah. So the

49
00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:00.840
log line for it is FBI agent
Lee Harker is a sign into an unsolved

50
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.280
serial killer case that takes an unexpected
turn revealing evidence of the occult, but

51
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.560
Harker discovers a personal connection to the
killer and must stop him before he strikes

52
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.199
again. Yes, that's on my
watch list. Yeah it is. Yeah,

53
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.160
I want to see that. I'll
probably see that this weekend too,

54
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.399
who knows. See. The cool
thing about having this show is that I

55
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:26.720
often get to see them before they
come out, whether you know it's a

56
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.759
screener I go to New York,
or whether they send me a screener for

57
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.920
home or whatever. I missed both
of the Twisters and log Leg Long Legs

58
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.879
the screeners just because of when they
happened. I was out of town,

59
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.399
so like, wouldn't it worked?
But then I just use my Regal Unlimited

60
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.720
pass, which I freaking love,
and go to Regal whenever I want.

61
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.680
Do you know the Regal and Limited. One of my friends has it,

62
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.680
and she's like she loves it.
Yeah, she swears by it. Yeah,

63
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.480
it's twenty two dollars a month for
unlimited movies. I think that she

64
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.959
gets like free popcorn too. Yeah, he has like points yes something,

65
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.920
yeap. Then you get ten percent
off concessions and then you rack up points

66
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.879
for literally every dollar that you spend, so then you can use those points

67
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.360
on free popcorn, free drinks,
free you know, tickets like whatever.

68
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.720
Like, so you could bring a
friend with the free tickets that you get

69
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.720
from going for free. Like It's
like crazy. I love it. I'm

70
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.959
obsessed with it. But anyway,
yes, So do you have any interest

71
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.079
in Blong Legs? Yeah? Well, sometimes I would want to see the

72
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.160
trailers, but I feel like nowadays
trailers tell the whole story, yes,

73
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:41.800
and I don't like that. I
feel like the whole entire movie is summed

74
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.600
up in two minutes. Yeah,
and I hate that. That's why I

75
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.839
do not like seeing the trailers.
But then a part of me won't see

76
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.680
the trailers because I want to know
what to expect, right, But I

77
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.199
just feel torn, So I just
end up not watching the trailers. But

78
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.160
I believe that it will be good. You know what I do. If

79
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.879
I know that I'm going to see
the movie, I want watch the trailer.

80
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.920
If I've like never heard of it
or whatever, I'll watch it until

81
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.319
I decide that I want to see
it. So if I'm like, oh,

82
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.759
what's this and then thirty seconds in, I'm like Ooh, I want

83
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.920
to see this. I close my
eyesh in the theater, which people I

84
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.959
think I'm weirdo. But but that
way nothing is spoiled. Yeah. So

85
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.120
I've seen just enough to see it
to know if I want to see it

86
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:28.000
or not. Yeah, exactly.
Part of the problem is with that is

87
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.439
that if I'm not doing it on
like YouTube or something, you hear it.

88
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.600
Well, I don't even mind that
because I'll like, in my head,

89
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.920
I'll be like la. But if
it's on YouTube, Okay, So

90
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.720
if I'm in the theater and doing
this and I shut my eyes, I

91
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.600
often miss what it's called because when
my eyes are shot, they end up

92
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.720
flashing the title at the end.
So, but like on YouTube or whatever,

93
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.319
I'm obviously it says what it is, So that way I know.

94
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.800
So I haven't figured out a way
around that yet because I haven't been able

95
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.680
to time, like with my eyes
closed, I don't know when they're going

96
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.000
to show what the movie? You
know, the title of the movie.

97
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.439
Yeah, anyway, but what else
is that? Oh? And music,

98
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.680
Katy Perry has released her first song
in years, and it's the lead single

99
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.959
off of her upcoming album one four
three, which comes out September twentieth,

100
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:25.560
and the lead single from this song
is called Woman's World. Have you heard

101
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.319
it yet? I haven't. It's
like very dance poppy, and actually she

102
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.079
said that the album one for three, which stands for I Love You,

103
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:40.560
is like a dance pop Lady Gaga
ish Madonna ish album. Oh wow.

104
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.879
Yeah, so I'm really interested in
what this album will be, you know

105
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.040
what I mean. Yeah, I
think about Katy Perry, and I think

106
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.480
about the two thousands. Yeah,
yeah, yeah that's what I grew up.

107
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.120
Yeah too, Yeah, Firework and
Poor and like all those bops.

108
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.199
You know what I mean. I
completely forgot about her Gonna Lie, which

109
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.000
I'm really sad about because I was
a massive fan in middle school. Yeah,

110
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.120
Like I bought her perfume, did
you? I bought Killer Queen.

111
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.279
Yeah. I was obsessed with Katy
Perry. I feel like everyone has a

112
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.839
Katy Perry face. Mine was in
middle school. But I was such a

113
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.920
big fan, and I completely forgot
about her. I don't know, like

114
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.959
she just wasn't releasing music. Well, yeah, she was like doing American

115
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.040
Idol and like all that. Yeah, she did release some albums, but

116
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.720
like, what was the one called
Smile Smile in two thousand. Oh,

117
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.840
Prism was twenty thirteen. Yeah,
was that her last one? No?

118
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.080
Then Witness came out in twenty seventy. Oh my god. Witness was awesome

119
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.120
because it had Swish Swish. Do
you remember that song Swish Swish Fish another

120
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.840
one in the back, yes,
yeah, Oh my god, I forgot

121
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.759
I love that song. Then she
really Smile in twenty twenty, which didn't

122
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.879
really like Light Up the World,
but it did have Harley's in Hawaii,

123
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.879
which was a great song. And
then Never Really Over remember that song never

124
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.799
If it's really over, then it's
never really over. It was Katy Perry.

125
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.120
Yeah, what the heck? Yeah? Oh my goodness. Yeah,

126
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.679
why did I not know? And
then now four years later she'll release one

127
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.440
four three, so I'm excited for
that. Did you know that she has

128
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.159
a cat named Kitty Perry. Oh, I guess I know about Katy Perry.

129
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.320
I was a big Katie Cat.
Yeah. Talking about Katie Perry is

130
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.799
bringing back all my Katie Cat you
know memory when I was in middle school.

131
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.840
Yeah, and wow, this is
all about nostalgia today, watching Twister

132
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.639
and listening to Katy Perry and Roar
was my thing that was a great That

133
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.320
is a great song. Yeah.
Man, I became obsessed with Tigers because

134
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.720
of that song. That's awesome.
Yeah. So so I love Katy Perry.

135
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.039
I'm curious, you know. I'm
looking forward to the album One Republic.

136
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.960
I love One Republic and their brand
new album today or their brand new

137
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.120
album called Artificial Paradise comes out today
or is out now, depending on when

138
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.799
you're listening to this. Eminem the
Death of Slim Shady, I am Have

139
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.240
you heard Whodini? No, you
haven't heard. I feel like you're too

140
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.879
young for Eminem. I do know
Eminem. I know you do. I

141
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.399
know some Eminem songs, but I
can't think of it. So Eminem was

142
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.720
like a huge part of my life
since I was a kid. And Houdini,

143
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.399
which is like the first single off
of this new album. The Death

144
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.480
of Slim Shady Coup de Gras is
like a return to form for him.

145
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.039
So it's like it reminds me of
like his old pop hits. Anyway,

146
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.440
we just played it Slim Eminem.
Yes, it's his character. Yeah,

147
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.000
Oh, he has a character.
Yeah. Oh I love artists do that.

148
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.759
Yeah, So you know Stan,
like when you say like I Stan,

149
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.960
Katie that's the song that I know
about Eminem. Yeah, that's where

150
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.919
Stan came from. Oh yeah,
that song like there was somebody right into

151
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.799
him and then they died in a
car accident exactly. So that's where the

152
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.279
term Stan comes from. So when
you're like, I Stan, Katie Perry,

153
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.200
yeah, it comes from the song
Stan. Yeah. What the heck?

154
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.360
Yeah? Oh my god. And
so Eminem, you know, back

155
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.639
in the day, did this character
slim Shady, And that was like where

156
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:37.519
he put all of his kind of
poppy, like crazy you know, stories

157
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.519
and all that, you know,
like the murdering his wife and all that

158
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.720
stuff like that was all this no, no, no, the character.

159
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.480
Oh you know, so when he's
talking about that in songs and stuff like

160
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.879
that was the character of slim Shady. Then later on like he was doing

161
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.360
kind of more I don't want to
say, more serious hip hop, but

162
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:00.919
like less poppy, more hard.
That was like not so shady. So

163
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.320
he's brought back slim Shady with this
album, The Death of Slim Shady,

164
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.960
and it's like back to the fun
like poppy crazy yeah bops, you know

165
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.440
what I mean. Yeah, So
I love some I love Eminem, I

166
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.399
love some Shady. I hope that
he doesn't really kill him. That sucks.

167
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.759
But yeah, but when artists do
that, I kill their characters.

168
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.320
Yeah, yeah, no, because
people get emotionally attached to the character.

169
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:30.919
I know I'm a stand of slim
shady, but I understand why the artist

170
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.720
does it. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm playing these characters for yours. They

171
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.919
probably get tired of it. Yeah
for sure. Listen, this is not

172
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.000
who I am anymore, so right
yep, But I just don't like yeah,

173
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.000
no me either. What else?
Jojo Siwah has released her Guilty Pleasure

174
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.440
album. When I say released,
I mean unleashed. I should say she

175
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:58.399
has unleashed it onto all of us
unsuspecting pop culture people. Fans. You

176
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.080
have some thoughts on Jojo, I
do. I just I don't understand why.

177
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.279
I just I feel like I just
look at Jojo Siwa and the first

178
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.080
thing that comes to my mind is
why. But it's not like in a

179
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:20.200
way where it's like why, it's
just like no genuine curiosity why, which

180
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.879
I don't know if that makes it
better. It's not like I mean I

181
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.240
am judging a little bit, like
who doesn't? Yeah, but like why,

182
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.960
yeah, why? I'm totally with
you. I don't understand her.

183
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.320
She gives off homeschooled kid energy.
Yeah, and not only that, but

184
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:46.519
like homeschooled kid like child star energy. Yeah. Not that there's anything wrong

185
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.519
with homeschooled kids, my beloved listeners, but but they do give off sometimes

186
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.159
there are homeschool kids that give off
some I'm gonna get canceled, but you

187
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.919
know, they give off some vibes
to give they're giving that homeschool and and

188
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.080
then there's plenty of homeschool kids that
are fine, fine, but there's a

189
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.240
certain type of kids sometimes that is
a homeschool kid, and Jojo gives that

190
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.360
homeschooled vibe. For instance, not
the instances as you and I had talked

191
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:22.039
about. When it happened. She
was in an interview and somebody said something

192
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.240
and she was like, I have
created a new genre of music. And

193
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.960
the interviewer was like, oh what, and she was like gay pop and

194
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:39.159
it's like, uh, bro,
you're doing like dancy pop music like before

195
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.879
millions of artists before literally thousands of
artists I could probably name off the top

196
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.679
of my head that literally do the
same music. Lady Gaga comes first for

197
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.320
me. Yeah, Lady Gaga,
Madonna Shaer like you know, they're so

198
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.519
so so Britney Spears like, I
mean, bro, like what makes you

199
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.399
so different? Yeahjo exactly, And
that's what I mean, Like she's given

200
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.039
off that like homeschooled, like child
star energy. I feel like she's a

201
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.559
bit out of touch with reality.
Yes, I get that a lot,

202
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.759
And I mean I just don't think
that she understands reality. Yeah, the

203
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.879
way that I think most people would
understand reality. She just gives me airhead

204
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.200
kind of vibes when it comes to
that kind of stuff. Yeah, I

205
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.240
think you had it on the head
at least for me when you said like

206
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.559
she's like out of touch, because
it's like you didn't know that there were

207
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.360
people who did dance pop music for
the last one hundred years. Yeah,

208
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.840
it's like a airhead to me because
it's like you didn't do research in the

209
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.879
market that well, it's not even
like research like did you exist? Have

210
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.000
you ever heard of a Madonna or
a Lady Gaga or Britney Spears song like

211
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.879
yeah, have you lived? You
know what I mean? It's so weird.

212
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.919
How old is she? I don't
know, maybe thirty, I don't

213
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.440
know's I really don't know. I
have no idea. I'm guessing. I'm

214
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.559
really bad at people's guessing people's ages. She's told one, Oh my god,

215
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.480
but she gives off that like she's
very pretty. She is pretty,

216
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.399
but like she I don't know,
she has like that older she does.

217
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.039
I see it, you know what
I mean. I see it, at

218
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.480
least in this picture, But she
has I don't know. I don't know.

219
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.120
I would. I would like to
have a conversation with her. I

220
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.000
would. I would love to talk
to her too. Maybe we should have

221
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.720
her on the show one time.
We should, you know what, listen,

222
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.159
because I feel like I don't want
to judge too harshly, But at

223
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.080
the same time, how can I
not when you're putting this out there for

224
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.360
the world. Of course, you
know I'm going to have an opinion on

225
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.399
it, of course, But I
just feel like, I, like I

226
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.639
said, why, I would like
to genuinely just talk to her and get

227
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.279
her thoughts and to see is this
real Jojo? Yeah? Is this like

228
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.799
fake like it's okay right? Or
is it? Or is this how you

229
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.480
really are? Yeah? I don't
know. And don't get me wrong,

230
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:07.759
like I'm judging her right now.
She seems like she's such a sweet soul,

231
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.240
and like you know what I mean, Like I'm not judging her as

232
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.480
like a well, I mean,
I guess I am judging as a person,

233
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.480
but like not like you know what
I'm saying, like I'm judging some

234
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.759
of her. So in other words, when you put yourself out there,

235
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.200
which I you know, pretty much
my entire life has been out in the

236
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.799
public in some way, you know, through whatever the Oprah shows or radio

237
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.319
or TV or whatever. I've pretty
much grown up in the public eye.

238
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.839
So knowing that I know that what
I when I do that, I'm putting

239
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.839
myself out there to be judged,
whether I like it or not. I

240
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.079
don't have to listen to what people
say or you know, I mean,

241
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.359
you should see some of the comments. Sometimes I get that I do read

242
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.519
because I'm I can't help it,
even though it's probably not good for my

243
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.160
mental health sometimes. But I have
to understand that if I'm going to be

244
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.839
in this business, if I'm going
to be in media or in content creation,

245
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.480
and you know they're I'm opening myself
up to ridicule, you know,

246
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.720
and I might not like what everybody
has to say. I might not like

247
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.680
what anybody has to say, but
that is part of the deal, you

248
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.359
know what I mean. I can't
be like, oh, I want to

249
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.440
put myself out there and create content
and then be like, no, please

250
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.480
don't say anything about me with your
opinion. Yeah. Yeah, So when

251
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.680
I say that to Jojo or when
I say that about Jojo, I'm also

252
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.240
saying that knowing that, like,
I get it. It's hard. You're

253
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.359
putting yourself out there. You're trying
to be maybe authentic or maybe it's a

254
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.039
character I don't know, but whatever
it is, like you got, no

255
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.200
matter what, you have balls to
be able to go out there with your

256
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.359
kiss looking outfit and your the star
on your eye and you know what I

257
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.759
mean, like do this in published
Yeah exactly. So good for you for

258
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.039
that, But I'm still going to
judge when I think it's appropriate. Oh

259
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.359
yeah, for sure, cause I
know that I don't think I could be

260
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.240
doing half the stuff that she's doing
it in public. Yeah, with the

261
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.119
sane mind. Yeah, And like, I mean, she's got confidence,

262
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:08.359
which I don't. Even though sometimes
you know, sometimes people be like,

263
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.319
who are you so cocky? I'm
like, I'm actually that's overcompensating for my

264
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.359
terrible lack of self confidence, you
know what I mean. A lot of

265
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.240
guys will do that, especially I
feel like, oh, at least I'm

266
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.599
saying a lot of guys because obviously
most of my friends are guys, so

267
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.759
I kind of know more. Even
guys will do it like when you're at

268
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.640
the gym, like uh, oh, yeah, that's all you can lift,

269
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:30.880
bro, you know what I mean. And then they'll like hurt themselves

270
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.279
like trying to outlift you, they
like pull something. I've seen those videos,

271
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.480
yeah, because they're they're like trying
to, you know, make up

272
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:42.200
for their kind of lack of confidence
by like overcompensating to show their boys that

273
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.400
they're the alpha, you know what
I mean. Like whatever, anyway,

274
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.359
I don't know, speaking of going
off on random tangents and here we are

275
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:56.359
to Jim showing off anyway, Yes, guilty pleasure. I I do want

276
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.960
to give it a listen. I
think like Karma Carmo's the first single,

277
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.160
right like yeah, or she did
that like like weird dance like which like

278
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.319
which again, you know, good
for her for getting out there. She

279
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.400
can do it, you know,
girl if you or well, I don't

280
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.200
know what her pronoun. I'm not
sure either. I feel like I don't

281
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.799
want to, you know whatever,
but she can do that or they can

282
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.759
do that. Yeah, you know, good for them. Yeah. So

283
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:30.279
that is our what's out this week
segment? So what did we watch this

284
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.400
week? That's the next segment,
What do we watch this week? Here's

285
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.519
the intro music? What did we

Pearl, you will love this.
Ty West the writer director blah blah is

292
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.799
a genius and I wish he just
makes horror movies like this all the time.

293
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.240
So I saw that. Uh,
And then I saw in d C

294
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.480
for last week. I was in
DC for PBS Capital fourth and I got

295
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.359
one night where we had a break
for the night and I didn't have anything

296
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.920
scheduled with them until the next day. Yeah, so I was like,

297
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:27.880
I'm gonna go to the movies.
They were like, cool, have fun,

298
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:33.519
So I went and saw Quiet Place
Day one. It is so good.

299
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.839
I loved it. I always butcher
her name and I feel horrible and

300
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.839
there's literally no reason I should.
I love her. Lupita Neoga, I

301
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.680
love her too, but I already
know that whenever her name is on a

302
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.640
movie, yeah, it's about to
be the best movie. Yeah, I've

303
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:56.200
ever like she. I don't know
her acting's just she's phenominal. Yeah,

304
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.559
she's so incredible. Chills every single
time I see her on the screen,

305
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.720
no matter what, it's just chilled. Yeah. Did you like Quiet Place

306
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.119
one and two? Yeah? Okay, so you'll love this. It's obviously

307
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.759
you know, it's a it's a
day one of what happens but in New

308
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.079
York City. What's special about it
for me is the story behind it.

309
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.000
Like they didn't just they weren't just. They could have easily been like,

310
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.480
oh, here's day one, here's
it doesn't really matter the plot, here's

311
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:29.519
cool, crazy stuff happening. No, they like really made an incredibly kind

312
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.559
of moving film with the backdrop of
a Qui place. It's awesome. Yeah,

313
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.160
well that's so exciting. Yeah,
you got to see it. What

314
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.599
did you watch this week? I
watched shows I feel like I'm more of

315
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.200
a show person. I do like
movies, but I tune in every single

316
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:51.119
Sunday for House of the Dragon.
Okay, I'm one of those I've never

317
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.079
seen House of the Dragon or Game
of Thrones. I'm about to walk out.

318
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.640
I know this isn't that wild.
Yeah, how the Dragon? And

319
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:06.839
I'm a really big reality TV show? Okay, So I watched ninety Day

320
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:14.279
Fiance and all that stuff. What
Okay? So I got addicted to ninety

321
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.839
Day Fiance when I was moving into
my house and had to put something or

322
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.279
you know, would put something on
like while I'm doing stuff. Yeah,

323
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.559
around my house, and I got
addicted to ninety Day Fiance and my six

324
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:32.640
hundred pound sisters or something, oh
thousand pounds sisters. Yes, me too.

325
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.960
Oh I tuned in for those And
was it a thousand pound best friends?

326
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.160
Yes? Yes, that too?
Yeah when they went to the water

327
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.720
park or whatever, yes, Oh
my goodness, I remember that part.

328
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.400
Yeah. Yeah. So how was
House of the Dragon this week? Oh?

329
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.640
It was? It was phenomenal?
Is it it was a very sad

330
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.200
episode? Is it as good as
Game of Thrones? Well, it depends

331
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:03.240
on Is it Game of Thrones?
One through six you're talking about season or

332
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.559
Game of Thrown six through eight season, Oh is there? Like, oh

333
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.440
yeah, there's definitely a cutoff.
Definitely a cutoff. Okay, So one

334
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.279
through six are like amazing, and
six through eight or seven and eight are

335
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.920
like, yeah, So how is
the Dragon? I feel like it is

336
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.519
good. The storytelling is there?
Storytelling for House of a Dragon is one

337
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:29.559
hundred percent there, and it is
just so raw. I don't know,

338
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.720
like the characters, the dragons,
the plot. It just is one of

339
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.200
those shows, in my opinion,
where you watch it and it literally feels

340
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.559
like you are in this world with
these people, okay, and it is

341
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:48.559
seeing these dragons fly and seeing how
these people are trying to resolve this if

342
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.920
issue that's happening. It's just so
you have so many opinions on it,

343
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:59.880
and it tells you from multiple sides
what's happening. So sometimes you might be

344
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.119
like, Okay, I understand why
this person is doing it, but then

345
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.000
it goes to someone's's point of view
on the other side, so you're like,

346
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.640
oh, man, I understand why
that. So it's hard. But

347
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.640
I am Team Black, which is
it's about it into Team Greens or Team

348
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.519
Black. So I am Team Black
and that is Forner Targarian, and the

349
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.839
team Green is for Agon Targarian,
which I probably you probably don't know who

350
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.240
these people are, but basically they're
fighting for the throne. Okay, So

351
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.039
is this a prequel or a sequel? It's a prequel prequel. This is

352
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.640
before Game of Thrones. This is
like like centuries before Game of Thrones happened.

353
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.519
So could I watch this without watching
Game of Thrones? I would,

354
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.880
yeah, yeah, you definitely can. I would probably recommend watching it before

355
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.759
Game of Thrones, okay, because
it takes you back all the way to

356
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.559
the Targerian dynasty, which is Targerians
is the name of the house that rules

357
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.119
this city called Westros, which is
what Game of Thrones is taking place in.

358
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:55.920
Okay, So they are the original
rulers, and in Game of Thrones

359
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.039
it's different because the Targerians are not
ruling in Game of Thrones. It's interesting

360
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.079
to see how Sita Dragon unfold with
all of these Targarians because in Game of

361
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:08.599
Thrones there's only two Targerians left.
So it's like, how did this house

362
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:14.440
that overtook the whole entire world of
West thro oath? How did they with

363
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.319
other dragons, with all of their
children, with all of theirs, Like,

364
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.160
how did they go from the most
powerful house in the world to only

365
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.000
two of them being fugitives? Okay, how did that happen? All right?

366
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.519
Awesome? What else is you watch
anything else? Cool? No,

367
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.599
I'm sorry, that's all good.
We are going to take a quick break

368
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.920
and pay the bills, so it'll
take sixty seconds. And we love our

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.480

375
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.759
the the anyway because I feel like
you need a nickname, you know what

376
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.559
I mean? The promo girl?
Is that stupid? Yeah? A little

377
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.319
bit, Amanda. We'll think about
it, yeah, or vote we have

378
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.839
we should do a thing. Yes, yeah, all right, look for

379
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:45.559
that. Okay, So our feature
presentation, it's our feature presentation favorite summer

380
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:53.359
movies, our feature presentation favorite summer
movies. You go first, what's your

381
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.400
first one? My first one?
When you first told me first summer movie,

382
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.000
the first one that came on was
The Sandlot. I grew up with

383
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.480
that movie, so did I and
I watched that movie every single summer,

384
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.720
and I just that movie just brings
so much nostalgia to me. Yeah,

385
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.200
I just get so happy when I
watch it. I don't know, it's

386
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.319
it's familiar, it's what I grew
up with, the characters. I just

387
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.160
I don't know, it's that movie
for me. It is so good and

388
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.880
same thing for me. I grew
up with that movie. It is a

389
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:32.400
classic. It has that nostalgia,
it has those feels, you know what

390
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.039
I mean, Like, it's just
that movie. I love that movie so

391
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.559
much. I would say my first
one is The Goonies. Oh. The

392
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:45.480
Goonies for me actually kind of similarly
to The Sandlot. It's something I grew

393
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.079
up with. It reminds me of
summer. I don't know if I first

394
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.680
saw it in the summer or something. I'm obviously a chunk of it seems

395
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.079
to take place in the summer.
It's just one of those movies that,

396
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.000
like, I feel good. I
can't say a bad word about it,

397
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.160
Like it's just ultimate summer for me, Like you go in this big adventure

398
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.240
with your friends, like you know, and and I don't know. It's

399
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.160
just so summary for me. Do
you you've seen it? Right? No?

400
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.920
What? I haven't seen it,
but I do know about it.

401
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.680
You've never seen the Goonies. I
no, you don't have to apologize.

402
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:25.480
I just feel bad for you.
You have got to watch it. I'm

403
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:27.519
serious. I'll watch it. You
need to put You will love it as

404
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.599
much as you love the Sandlot.
Oh really, yes, Okay, it'll

405
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.039
be one of those movies I think
that you'll watch every summer. Okay,

406
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:38.400
I know I know about the Goonies, but I have never actually sat down

407
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.680
with like my fuck at a popcorn
and like watched it and it's full.

408
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:45.799
Okay, yeah, you got to
do it. And it has a killer

409
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:52.599
song. The title song is called
Goonies Are with the Backwards Are good Enough?

410
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.000
Goonies Are good Enough? And it's
by Cindy Lauper, and it is

411
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:03.039
so eighties and so summary and so
fits that movie. And it's like a

412
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.519
fun adventure song. It's awesome.
Yeah, but uh yeah, So my

413
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.440
first one would be the goodies.
I'll put it, I'll put it on

414
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.720
the list. Please do. What's
your next one? My next one is

415
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.880
Jaws, Jaws. I love Sharks. That's on my list too, by

416
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.680
the way, it is. Yeah, so Jaws. And there's multiple Jaws

417
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.640
movies. I like them all,
like I like them all. There's not

418
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.119
one where I'm just like whatever.
But I guess if I had to choose,

419
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.839
I feel like I would do the
original. Okay, the first one

420
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.039
and me yeah, same for me. I do love the one. I

421
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.440
think it's three when they're in like
Sea World or something, that one's good

422
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:45.119
or when I was a kid,
that freaked me out. And then I

423
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.079
watched it as an adult and I
was like, this is really bad animation.

424
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.799
How was I scared of? It's
so it's so fake, but it's

425
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:59.480
so good. It is good,
like in uh huh you look past exactly,

426
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.160
You're like there. But what's interesting
is the first one, Jaws one,

427
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.960
I feel like had great effects,
you know what I mean, But

428
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.119
it's like they almost went for like
too much effects in the third one.

429
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.960
So it like it's dated now,
but I still love it. Oh,

430
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.640
yeah, for sure, it's still
good. Yeah, Like the story's still

431
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.960
there exactly. So fun fact,
my dad, they you know, my

432
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.440
that side of the family was born
in New York and he went to Academy

433
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:33.759
of Dramatic Arts or something in New
York, and he auditioned for Jaws.

434
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.480
And it was between like him and
like three other guys. And obviously I

435
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.279
didn't get it. But yeah,
I mean not he didn't audition as the

436
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:49.160
shark Jaws, but I think it
was like the guy's son or something in

437
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.599
the movie. But but yeah,
so that's a fun fact. But what

438
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.079
I love about Jaws, well,
I mean there's many things, but like

439
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.319
to this day, like I feel
like that move has made everybody scared of

440
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:05.039
sharks, every single person, you
know what I mean, Yes, but

441
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.519
you know it's interesting. So I
was at the beach this weekend last weekend,

442
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.680
and finally I have not been to
the beach. So I have family

443
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.720
that lives at the beach. You
know, you and I are an hour

444
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:17.920
and a half away from the beach
at Max, Like it's like a way

445
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.200
of life for us here. I
have not actually been on the beach,

446
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.319
like on the sand in like two
years, which is crazy for me because

447
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:28.960
any other time I'd be down there
all the time. But my life has

448
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.680
been so crazy the last few years. Actually, it's probably probably been three

449
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:36.279
years. But so I went down
to visit my family and we all got

450
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:40.039
together at the beach. I went
on the beach and I started worrying about

451
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:46.039
sharks before, like even like the
night before. And because I am an

452
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:52.119
anxiety ridden person sometimes, I was
up to like four am studying sharks and

453
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.839
like, yeah, and did you
know you're not supposed to wear dangly jewelry

454
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.960
in the water. You're not.
Yeah, like, nothing flashy because it'll

455
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:06.079
catch their eye. But I do
feel pretty confident now that I could take

456
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.319
on a shark. Oh my god. Well it depends on which one.

457
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.519
So I am ready for any shark, No, I am. So So

458
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.000
here's the thing. So I saw
this woman on TikTok, because you should

459
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:23.359
always get information from TikTok. Yeah, that's all you have to tell me.

460
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.480
No, no, but she said, and she's like a shark girl

461
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.920
or whatever, say to bop the
nose. So okay. So yeah,

462
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.799
you put your arm out and you
lock your elbow when it's coming to you,

463
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.480
and you look directly at it and
as it's coming up to you,

464
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:44.000
you put your hand out, elbow
locked, arm stretched, and you hit

465
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:49.759
its nose and gently guide it away
from you. Guide. Yeah, And

466
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:54.960
so I was so confident to hop
in that water the next day. No,

467
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.599
I was like, Okay, sharks, I'm not scared of you because

468
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:02.000
I'm gonna I lock my elbow and
jently guide you the other way. But

469
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:08.400
then I saw jellyfish in the water. So that is what made you not

470
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.039
want to get into the water.
Yeah, No, I get it though.

471
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:15.760
Yeah, so the jellyfish, I
was like, ooh, I didn't

472
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.239
prepare my anxiety didn't prepare me for
that. So I didn't go on a

473
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:25.239
freaking black hole of jellyfish fighting videos. It's okay, I'm understand. Jellyfish

474
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:29.920
can sting even if they're dead.
Oh they can. Yeah. So that's

475
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.159
interesting because my cousin was like,
I think that one's dead, Like,

476
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.599
so you're good, No, you're
not. Oh my god. I think

477
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.920
it depends on what kind jellyfish it
is, Okay, because when they're dead,

478
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:45.480
I do think that they can still
stain and that part of their body

479
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.280
is still active. Okay. Yeah, jellyfish scare me because you you can't

480
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.360
really get away from them. Yeah, like I can't touch it, and

481
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.920
they're like so all over the place. Yeah, like they can be right

482
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.880
here, but their legs or whatever
part of that body. Yeah, it's

483
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.559
like all out right. That's scary. Yeah, maybe I should just start

484
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.519
I'll start bringing sticks with me that
you know what I ended up doing.

485
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:14.440
It's so funny. I think somebody
took a video of it. I ended

486
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:21.599
up making my cousin and my aunt. They I got in like an inner

487
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.480
tube and they got in the water
and I sat in the inner tube and

488
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:30.800
they had the rope and recording me
around of it. What No, I

489
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:37.960
would have been why? Because that
way I couldn't get sung by his bellyfish.

490
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:44.440
I mean they would. But I've
been going to the beach of Kyle.

491
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.079
Now that I think about it,
that's so like mean of me to

492
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:52.039
be like, hey, you guys
get in the water and cart me around

493
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.159
in the inner tube so I don't
get stuck. Oh my god, I'm

494
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.639
a prince. What can I say? See, I feel like I do

495
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.960
love I love sharks. I don't
think that I'm scared. I mean I

496
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.800
wanted to work with sharks. I
yeah, you wanted to be like a

497
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.880
animal person, right, yeah,
I wanted animal oh a marine biology,

498
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.880
Yeah, okay, I love I've
always loved the ocean. So sharks for

499
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.400
me is my They're my favorite animals. So all my bucket list is I

500
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.880
want to go shark diving with great
lights eventually. Oh my god, Well

501
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.920
I can come with you and protect
you because I know how to take them

502
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:30.880
all. Not a great white,
oh my god. Maybe a tiger tiger

503
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.559
shark yeah, oh yeah, so
Jaws anyway, bringing your back up,

504
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:38.719
Okay, this is our add especially
mine. Yeah, but tangent. But

505
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:43.880
it's such a classic summer move.
Like everybody's seen that movie. Everybody loves

506
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.119
that movie. If you don't,
you're like not even American. Did you

507
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:50.519
go? Did you go to the
Jaws ride in Universal? Yes? I

508
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.960
never got a chance to do that, and that is my villain origin story.

509
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:57.880
I so upset about that ride clothing. When did it close? You

510
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.559
know, I don't know it closed
before I got it chance to go on

511
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.760
there. That's all that matters.
I had seen it and then like I'd

512
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.599
say, the next year or something, they got rid of it. That's

513
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.199
yeah, So I like just made
it in time. I love Universal so

514
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.199
much, all right, So that
was yours? Okay, Vacation, National

515
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:21.639

joking, I've never seen this. Do

521
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:59.039
No, I cannot believe. I
can't believe that title, National Lamb.

522
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.239
Oh it's a family. Well,

is that? You've never seen this
movie? With this family? It's on

525
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.239
like seventeen times a day on Christmas. I've never seen that movie. Okay,

526
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.239
Wow, First of all, you're
going to add that to your list

527
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:23.519
to for the Christmas. Hey,
you got to make me a list because

528
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:27.480
I'm just like, yeah, you
have to put this on my letterboxed.

529
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.760
Oh I'm on letterbox? Oh you
are? Oh? Can we be friends?

530
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:37.400
Yes? Nick? Nick Allison Drini
the man, the production legend,

531
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.559
the sports talent. Hey, okay, I had to bring Nick in.

532
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:45.880
I can't believe this. So I'm
embarrassed Amanda, not on purpose, but

533
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:52.239
we're going over our favorite summer movies. Summer movies, okay, And I

534
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.239
said, oh, vacation, yes
you no, Chevy Chase Legend, Chevy

535
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:59.960
Chase guys. Yeah, And She's
like, what's that? And I was

536
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.360
like, oh, well, you've
seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And she

537
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.400
was like, what what are you
saying? Okay, now we have an

538
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:12.119
issue, like time do we get
to Christmas Vacation? Now an issue has

539
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.440
has arisen here, time out.
I don't know why I'm timing out,

540
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.360
but I she's never seen She has
no idea what that is one of my

541
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.079
favorite movies, like for any season. I only I watched it a lot

542
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.840
during Christmas, I say, is
I'm sure everybody else does during the holiday

543
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.320
time, but that's a movie I
can pop on in the summer too,

544
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:31.199
even Yeah, I'll pop that movie
on and sometimes it's just on if you

545
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:34.199
still have cable. I'm one of
the few people in the world that still

546
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.559
has cable, and it'll be one
of those random channels at like eleven o'clock

547
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:39.840
at night. But it is a
fantastic movie, one of my favorite movies

548
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.880
of all time in any genre.
Yeah. Yeah, you first of all,

549
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:49.920
have need to watch National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation. Like that's mandatory. You

550
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:54.920
should probably leave work early. Yeah, it's like literally that important. Yes,

551
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.840
so vacation. The worst part might
be, though, is if she

552
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.760
does watch it, come back in
here and tells us she doesn't like it.

553
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.960
That would be horrible. Yeah.
First of all, I don't know.

554
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.679
I don't know how I would view
going forward, Amanda, But I

555
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:14.440
mean, does that prove that?
And again, Amanda is younger than we

556
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.519
are, Yeah, so does that
prove or maybe is any evidence that that

557
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.199
generation doesn't like the movie? Because
that's how I might take it, and

558
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:28.599
that would be crippling to my emotions
resenting this is the biggest movie you've ever

559
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.119
watched? No, are you gen
z? I think I don't know.

560
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:34.800
Yeah, because we're millennial. We're
millennial, I know that, but I

561
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.599
don't after that. But even your
guess is as good as money. So

562
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.400
we were babies when that came out. Yeah, that's true. I think

563
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:45.760
it must have been It's really would
be like gen X age or boomers or

564
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:49.280
whatever, but like I just feel
like it's multi generational absolutely, you know

565
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:51.760
what I mean. Yeah, that's
a great one, absolutely one of my

566
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:53.679
And again, I know you got
a got me off topic with the summer

567
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.719
movies and that hit me with Christmas
Vacation. Yeah, that is a vacation.

568
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:00.880
What do you think about that too? Yeah, yeah, it's it's

569
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:02.679
definitely up there. Also, I
mean it's not Christmas vac exactly. And

570
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.840
I don't know if that's because I
actually watched Christmas Vacation every me too,

571
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:09.760
right, is that weird? But
like so maybe that's the reason why,

572
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:14.239
but uh yeah both should be on
the list. Yeah yeah. And then

573
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:16.599
of course there was European Vacation.
Yeah, that's what the heck? And

574
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:21.760
then Vegas Vacas nice? What Yeah? And then wasn't there didn't they make

575
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:25.079
another one? Oh? It was
vacation. It was like a re not

576
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:29.760
a remake at Helms right, yeah, where he played didn't was a dusty

577
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:31.039
I think? Yes, yes,
yes, yes, which is like a

578
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:35.880
sequel yeah kinda wow. I didn't
even think about that part that franchise.

579
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.599
Yeah, do you watch Community?
Have you ever seen Community, No,

580
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:45.719
I have to leave. That's a
great show, Chevy Chase. I think

581
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:47.599

big acting job. Yeah, Community,

582
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:51.159
and I love Community, So that
was the show probably what ten years ago

583
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:53.159
is like twenty twelve. Was it
that long. It had to have been

584
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:55.199
that long. Yeah, yeah,
because imember watching it in high school.

585
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:58.599

end of that. I'm trying to

591
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.280
say, this is what he looks
like today. But Clark Griswold, baby,

597
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.920

was in the house in Christmas making

you've graceless with your presence for a moment,

606
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:15.280
what is your favorite summer movie?
That's a tougha Like I'm trying to

607
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.119
you know, you want to know
one of them when I was younger that

608
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.360
I went to the movies and saw
them that I don't know. It stuck

609
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:23.079
with me over the years. Disturbia
with disturbing accounts of summer bank. I

610
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.440
love Disturbia with Shila buff Didn't it
come out and go into the theaters in

611
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.400
the summer to watch it? So
Yeah, that's what, like, that's

612
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.519
the first movie that great? That
was? That was like his first big

613
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:37.320
movie, wasn't it. Yeah?
It was right after Transformers. It was

614
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:40.079
like his birth is. Oh,
I forget Transformers came first. Yeah,

615
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.119
I think Transformers came first and that
was like the big one. Then this

616
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.480
was like his big movie after that, which I thought was a really good

617
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.679
movie. I loved the Serbia also
has no idea what we're talking about?

618
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.400
How would you do? How would
I know? Because of your face?

619
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:57.320
Have you seen it? No,
we're gonna write you a list today,

620
00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.280
Yes, and we're gonna send you
home with it. You know, I

621
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.440
feel like I haven't watch nothing.
I mean, you haven't seen Christmas vacations.

622
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:07.000
You might as well have seen nothing. Ever, God are you?

623
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.519
We're gonna be friends on letterbox.
By the way, my letterbox is Kyle

624
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:15.440
McMahon. Are you one letterbox neck? I'm gonna pull in Amanda here?

625
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:20.559
What is letterbox? I see how
it is now both of us. You're

626
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.639
the only one that knows everything.
Man. I don't know everything. I

627
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:25.920
don't know what that is. She
doesn't know Christmas Vacation. Letterbox is a

628
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:30.320
social media app that is just for
films. Okay, so I don't want

629
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.320
to say it's like a Facebook for
film but so you log the movies you

630
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:38.920
watch, okay, Yeah, you
create list, watch list, he has

631
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:44.039
seeing them all. Yeah, and
Letterboxed is grabout to get him on that.

632
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.880
You should and you should do it
because it's cool and you could like

633
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:52.480
rate and review your as you log
them to. Yeah, and you could

634
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.760
go back, you know and be
like, oh, I saw this movie

635
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:58.880
back on this date, or oh
I did see that movie. What did

636
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.719
I think about it? I forgot? I'm going to set him out.

637
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:01.880
He would love that. Yeah,
he likes to keep tracking. He was

638
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:05.079
come here to watch out this movie
or chet out this movie. I just

639
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.840
watched it. It's some crazy movie
I've never heard of. And he will

640
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:13.039
love letter by have him followed me
because yeah, he's always looking for suggestions.

641
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.519
Yeah. Sure, And that's the
other cool thing. So like I

642
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:21.559
could look at Amanda's like watch list
or her log, like her diary log

643
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.280
of like what she's watched, or
I could see her lists of like my

644
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.519
favorite summer movies. We could do
you know what I mean, a list

645
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.320
of favorite summer movies. And I
could go and see what she put like,

646
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:35.559
it's really cool. Yeah, I
don't have to get on that for

647
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.440
sure. And now back to the
summer movie. Are you talking about movies

648
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.719
that came out during the summer or
that take place in the summer either either.

649
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.360
I do franchises like the Screen Franchise, Friday Franchise, and I put

650
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.760
them in like a list and I
ranked them. Yeah, that's what I

651
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:51.039
do. Yeah, with that kind
of stuff. Yeah, it's so much

652
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:53.480
fun. That's a you could have
a whole discussion on best franchises. Absolutely

653
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:59.719
well, the Vacation one entire you
do. Bring back the beefy Counch burrito,

654
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:05.920

657
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:22.920
okay, Vacation, I feel like
torn up. That was a ride.

658
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.400
But Vacation is so good. It
reminds me of when I was a kid.

659
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:31.159
It reminds me of being on summer
vacation, like as a kid.

660
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:35.400
I love that movie so much.
All right, what's your next one?

661
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.559
My next one will probably be it's
a musical it's called In the Heights,

662
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:43.960
Oh yeah, from New York.
Yeah, yeah, I love that musical.

663
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.280
I feel like people don't like it
a lot because it didn't get that

664
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:51.360
much good ratings like when it came
out. But I loved it. I

665
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.840
mean that's Lynn Manuel, right,
yeah, he is amazing. Love his

666
00:46:54.880 --> 00:47:00.679
penwork, like it's just oh yeah, and that takes place in uh,

667
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:04.360
what do you call it? Heights? Washington Heights, Washington. Thank you,

668
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:09.320
I'm like there too for her,
Yeah, Washington Heights. Yeah.

669
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:13.880
I felt like when I I watched
it in the theaters with my sister and

670
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.199
my parents, and I just felt
like it was the first time that I

671
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:23.000
saw a movie that dove in depth, like with Hispanic culture at that time

672
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:27.920
time. So it was a movie
where I really saw myself because I'm Puerto

673
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:32.239
Rican, so I really resonated with
a lot of the characters that it's hard

674
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.320
to do like and today. Yeah. So it was like it felt like

675
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:42.000
I was going and seeing like my
family, you know, and it was

676
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.360
like, oh, this is so
cool. And the music. I loved

677
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.159
the music, yeah, I mean
it was just such a good catchy like

678
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.880
salsa Hispanic. I just it felt
like Home, you know, because that's

679
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:57.599
you know, of course from But
yeah, it's one of my favorites.

680
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:05.320
Yeah, so I I love limb
Manuel Manuel. I started watching it and

681
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.159
I thought I probably watched the first
twenty minutes and I thought it was amazing,

682
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:15.280
and then something happened and I didn't
finish it. I know, you

683
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:19.840
got to finish that movie, Kyle. Yeah, it was like the opening

684
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:23.159
scene with the bodega, not like
it's so it was so amazing, and

685
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:25.360
I do want to watch it,
and to be honest, I kind of

686
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:29.840
forgot about it. But now that
you're bringing it up, it's I'm going

687
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.599
to be watching it, like in
the next week or so. Yeah,

688
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:36.519
that's a good one. I know
what you did last summer. Have you

689
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:39.760
ever seen that? No, you've
never seen that. I've not seen your

690
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:43.800
movies. Oh I'm sorry. It's
a scary movie. I know, I

691
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.519
know what it is, but I
have never seen it. Okay, my

692
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:52.199
buddy Ryan Philippi isn't it from He's
from Delaware and it's got an awesome cast.

693
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.039
But it was I was a kid
when I saw that, and it

694
00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:00.079
is a thriller. It's a horror. It's who'd done it? It's a

695
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:05.440
mystery it is. I love it. You know, is it an Oscar

696
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.199
winning film? Like no, but
it wasn't trying to be. So it's

697
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:12.280
amazing for what it is and I
love it. And it reminds me of

698
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:16.920
summer and like those kind of summer
scary nights you know where I used to

699
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:20.679
love. I mean still do love
to watch like a scary movie on the

700
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.079
weekend or whatever. But it has
the summer vibe too. Such a great

701
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:29.519
for me, great summer movie.
So Malana Milana, that's a good one.

702
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.840
I think that ma is one of
my top Well, Malana is my

703
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:37.440
favorite Disney movie, Okay, so
I mean she has to be in this

704
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:43.039
list because it's the ocean. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know,

705
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.280
I don't know when Malana came out. I don't even know if Wana

706
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.679
came out in the summer. But
it's just a movie that I found myself

707
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:53.400
playing a lot during the summer year
because it's oceany and it's like, you

708
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:58.679
know, it's it's Molana. Yeah, it's Maana. And Malana's too coming

709
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.679
out, yes, and Moana live
action yes. Yeah. The rock will

710
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.320
be seated, Yeah, I will
be seated. For that. That's a

711
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.280
good one. My I have two
more, which I'll do one Summer of

712
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:15.480
Sam, which clearly you haven't seen
that one. Either. Summer of Sam

713
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:22.320
is based on a true story came
out in ninety nine. It is.

714
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.159
The log line is, during the
summer of nineteen seventy seven, a killer

715
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:27.880
known as the Son of Sam keeps
all of New York City on edge with

716
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.360
a series of brutal murders. Okay, that sounds interesting. Yeah. Oh,

717
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:35.119
John Leguizama's in it. Who I
love? He's Puerto Rican Yeah,

718
00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:38.519
oh wait, wait, what's his
name? John Leguizamo's that? Who is

719
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:44.480
that? The philandering Vinnie unwittingly almost
becomes a victim of the psychopath, and

720
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:46.639
soon he and numerous people in his
orbit, including his wife Dianna played by

721
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:52.639
Morris Servino Miras Servino, his punk
rocker friend Richie, an aspiring porn star

722
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.000
Ruby played by Jennifer Esposito, or
trying to figure out the identity of the

723
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.679
killer before it's too late. It's
directed by Spike Lee, who I love

724
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.199
Spike, and you know the the
what do you call it? Killer?

725
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:06.440
The Son of Sam killer was like
a real thing in New York in the

726
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:10.440
seventies, so it takes place during
that time, and it takes place in

727
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:14.199
the summer. You know, there
wasn't like air conditioning and stuff. It's

728
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:19.280
it's really good. It's so good. It's like a awesome edge of your

729
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.480
seat. Is it like a psychological
thriller? Yes, okay, I love

730
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.719
the movies. Yeah, it's like
a psychological slash crime thriller. Okay,

731
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:30.159
Yeah, it's really good. So
that's that's my next one. What's your

732
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:35.119
last one? I think I guess
my last one will probably be Friday thirteenth.

733
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:37.239
That's a great one, like one
of my favorite movies ever. By

734
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:40.079
the way, me too. Yeah, like, no, none in particular,

735
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:43.559
Like I like any all. Yeah, like them all. I know

736
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:46.039
that the first one gets a lot
of hate. People just don't understand it

737
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:51.679
the way I do. Yeah.
Yeah, it is for me quintessential.

738
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:57.280
That's why I never used big words. It is a quintessential summer movie.

739
00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:00.039
Like it takes place at freaking camp, you know what I mean. It

740
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.400
is a classic. It is one
of my favorite movies ever. And I

741
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:07.480
not only watch it every summer,
but I watch it every Friday the thirteenth.

742
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:10.440
Yeah, if I do every fall. Actually, me and my sister

743
00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:14.119
were going to go to Camp Crystal
Lake because it's a New Jersey I did

744
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:16.199
you did so much? I didn't
get to go last year, and I

745
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:20.599
am buying tickets early. Yeah.
Go. It is a lot of fun.

746
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:22.039
And then at the end, did
you say the night? No?

747
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:27.320
I. At the end they have
like a campfire thing and you watch Friday

748
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.320
the thirteenth. It's really cool.
Yeah, it's so much fun. Camp

749
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:37.960
Crystal Lake in New Jersey. Yeah, okay. My last one is The

750
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:44.079
Florida Project. So the Florida Project
is I like how you talk about these

751
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:47.639
movies like knowing that I didn't even
watch them. Project. So what that's

752
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:52.559
about is what if I did watch
it, you did it? So the

753
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.079
Florida Project too. I, you
know, I'll put the link in the

754
00:52:55.079 --> 00:53:02.360
show notes because I interviewed the cast
and and write a director and it is

755
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:06.360
really cool as an independent film.
The log line is set in the shadow

756
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:08.280
of the most magical place on Earth. Six year old Mooney and her two

757
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:14.000
best friends forwards their own adventures.
While mooney struggling mom and a kind hearted

758
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:17.400
motel manager protect the kids from the
harsh reality that surrounds them. It's by

759
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:22.639
Sean Baker, who's amazing. It
was filmed literally right outside of Disney and

760
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:30.480
partly inside of Disney Cool, and
it's basically about the reality of these kids

761
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:34.559
that live in motels right outside of
Disney World. So you have Disney,

762
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.239
who I love, but you know, they're this big, multi billion dollar

763
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:42.280
company in this beautiful parks and all, but then half a mile away you

764
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:45.159
have kids that are so poor that
they're living in a motel because they don't

765
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:49.519
have place to go. So it's
about that. It's very summary for me.

766
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.639
And it also takes place in Florida, which for me is summary all

767
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:55.440
year. I don't know for me, that's a summary movie. Now that

768
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:59.320
I'm like talking about it, I'm
like, all my other choices are either

769
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:02.880
like, you know, fun and
adventury and like or thriller or whatever,

770
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:07.559
and then this, I'm like,
okay, now sad like but but it's

771
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:10.400
a great movie and you really really
really should see it. You got to

772
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:13.639
write this stuff. Yeah, I'm
going to send you a list of all

773
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:17.480
these make a letter box list and
just be like movie rerecks by car Yeah

774
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:22.400
for sure. All right, So
that is our feature presentation. This was

775
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:23.639
your first show. What do you
think? It was? Pretty fun?

776
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:29.719
Pretty fun, pretty fun? Pretty
Okay, it was not that great?

777
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:34.000
No, no, it's going higher. I thought you wanted to be honest,

778
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.880
kid, No, it was.
It wasn't really what I expected.

779
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.480
I thought it was going to be
more like, I guess, like structured

780
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:45.760
life, structured. But I kind
of liked that it wasn't, though,

781
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:49.000
because it made it flow more natural. Yeah. So I think that it

782
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.519
was really nice and it was just
exciting, awesome to be able to talk

783
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.920
about this kind of stuff and yeah, we're going to come back more often.

784
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:02.800
Yeah, awesome because I would love
to get their reactions for these movies

785
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:07.639
and like, just have somebody to
discuss the stuff with again, you know

786
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:09.840
what I mean. Normally I'm discussing
the last few years, have been discussing

787
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:16.599
it by myself to our listeners,
who are amazing. But for them to

788
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:22.000
interact with me, they're sending emails
or or you know, saying something on

789
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:27.719
social or whatever. So it's not
like that immediate interaction where you and I

790
00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:30.760
can just be like, yeah,
what I don't know that know what movie

791
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:39.519
you're talking about? The iconic classic? All right? So that is our

792
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:45.320
show for today. Thank you,
