[00:00:00] Music And it's so John Woo, but like I do I still love him all like yeah But this was so fucking good I was together right, but did you see what I meant when he there was a couple times during this movie where he looked old? Yeah, like you're a couple times you're like oh wow. He's starting to look his face. Yeah. Yeah like he looked up a couple times
[00:01:41] I'm like yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You really are 60. I mean it wasn't at his body of work, like, he's a solid actor, and especially later on, like, I mean, he was phenomenal in Paul fiction. Yeah, he was. You know, but then like, you know, the stuff later on that he does, and it's like, wow, Travolta still kind of has it. Yeah, he does. Yeah.
[00:03:00] I mean, even like as odd as it is, Haley Atwell is like, you know, she's dead because of me, it's my fault. And he goes, no, you're alive because of her. Yeah. Like that line was phenomenal. And like the way he delivered that, and like Ving Rames is like another guy.
[00:04:23] Like, I mean, he's an understated, very good actor.
[00:05:20] Hawkeye. Yeah.
[00:05:21] Um, you know, and at the end of the last movie,
[00:05:24] it was Angela Bassett.
[00:05:25] Yeah.
[00:05:26] You know, now looking back,
[00:05:28] I looked up some information like they said,
[00:05:30] Angela Bassett was supposed to appear in the movie,
[00:05:32] but she couldn't because of COVID.
[00:05:35] Okay.
[00:05:36] So she wasn't able to be in it,
[00:05:38] but at the same time, like they were making it.
[00:05:39] It's not like, yeah, like he kind of answers to all of us,
[00:05:43] but he doesn't answer to anybody.
[00:05:45] And, you know, we just kind of like,
[00:05:47] we hope he'll do what we ask him to. It did like at first in drum, yes, I'm like the way they're talking about him. It's like yeah We nobody knows his name or I mean everybody knows his fucking name. Yeah, see like hunt come on now Kendrick knows his name right, you know So but yeah, but otherwise like outside of that like
[00:07:03] The way that the entire thing played out
[00:07:07] the way they brought back order characters and It's like a BMW i7 or something like that. And he's like just like, it's him behind the wheel just doing a possible shit. And you're just like, yeah, that's Ethan Hunt doing this thing. And in this, it was like this comically little vehicle, but it's electric souped up. But also like because he was handcuffed to hurt,
[00:08:22] it was the wrong hand.
[00:08:24] The chase never went quite the way he wanted it to. I watched it a long time. Yeah, you agreed Anyway, anyway, so how you been pretty good. Yeah, yeah I haven't watched anything I have I have not watched I've been trying it for the past couple days. There's just nothing on TV
[00:09:46] There's just nothing on for me
[00:10:42] I mean like, and I'm not gonna get it. Right.
[00:10:43] So, but I'm trying to think,
[00:10:46] I honestly don't think I watched anything except,
[00:10:50] I watched a documentary last night
[00:10:53] about the synagogue.
[00:10:57] They got hit in Pittsburgh.
[00:10:59] Yeah.
[00:11:02] I know, deep stuff, but I watched that.
[00:11:05] Yeah.
[00:11:06] And, but that was an intense five episodes and it is really well done. Okay like
[00:12:24] I the only problem I have with it is the fact that they're stuck with
[00:12:28] So many of these Like, you know what I mean? And that was always like, he can't, I mean, he's got a sword, but he can't stab anybody with it. Yeah, yeah. Like, it was a great moment in the first one where a Skeletor guy's like, you finally used a pointy end of that thing, you know? And I mean, that's the other, you got Mark Hamill as Skeletor. Ooh. Yeah. Like, you want to talk about like, you know, a real pull and,
[00:13:41] but um, but I mean, the animation's phenomenal.
[00:14:44] Yeah, and you brought up Daryl Dixon. Did you see the trailer for the new Walking Dead show?
[00:14:49] The one with Rick and Michelle?
[00:14:52] Yeah, no, I didn't.
[00:14:54] Okay, hold on.
[00:14:56] All right, so you a funny. Yeah. I even have a piggy bank. Yeah. I got you. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Which is a badass piggy bank. Yeah. It's in there. Yeah. But yeah, I just love that character. Yeah. And like he was just part of the show. There was a time in the show that I didn't like him.
[00:17:22] and I just couldn't get into it. And like, to be quite honest with you,
[00:17:26] how do you top Negan?
[00:17:30] You just really can't.
[00:17:33] Do you know what I mean?
[00:17:33] Right.
[00:17:34] That character was so strong of a character
[00:17:39] to bring in, and it was so well done
[00:17:43] when he was bad Negan.
[00:17:44] Yeah.
[00:17:45] But you just can't talk about it. Like, how, like, I want to know what happened in a way. Like, he's on his deathbed, he's ready to die, and he's pulled away in a helicopter, and here he is alive. Right. And it's like, what did somebody see in Rick Grimes that they were willing to do that for? Right. You know?
[00:19:00] And it's like, it becomes that thing of like,
[00:19:03] again, the interest of the character, Right. Yeah, I know. I don't know, I'm excited. I've been excited about each series. Yeah. So I'm not gonna, I just have to wait. Right. I don't wanna get any expectations on it. And I hate the short trip, Shurau. Shurau. My Shurau, huh?
[00:20:20] My Shurau, yeah.
[00:20:23] I think we're named though.
[00:20:25] Shumone?
[00:20:28] Yeah. I liked Darryl Dickson, but I liked him in this because of how the story was told.
[00:21:44] Right.
[00:21:45] It was just a good story.
[00:21:47] Right. All right, so I heard about this. Okay, like I heard of it being made. And I was like, you can't remake a classic. Okay. Like it's like, why are we trying to, you know, besmirch Swazy's good name, you know? And this looks very good.
[00:23:01] It looks similar, but different.
[00:23:03] Yeah.
[00:23:04] You know what I mean?
[00:23:05] Like it took the concept like,
[00:23:06] yeah, this's like, you know, the sage old core, you know, like, I mean, Sam Elliott's like complete badass, like his mustache was in full bravado in that movie.
[00:24:20] But it's like one of those things like, but I know. I know you you're hard up for this dude and this movie. Like he's so good. He's like the Joker. He he was I was just like oh Yeah, give me a break. I enjoyed the statham part Yeah, I thought that was good. Yeah um, I Actually thought that part was real good. Yeah, you know what I mean?
[00:27:04] but
[00:28:02] A cool mix, you know what I mean? But I was just like, I know I keep saying that.
[00:28:06] I, it was just too much for me, I guess.
[00:28:12] But the, I love the race.
[00:28:14] Yeah.
[00:28:16] Like is that got back to like the original?
[00:28:18] Yeah, when they were racing and shit
[00:28:19] and my mom had everything planned out and stuff
[00:28:22] and I was like, man, that's bad ass right there.
[00:28:24] You know?
[00:29:25] in Rome when he takes that ball with the car.
[00:29:26] Like you're dead. You know what I mean?
[00:29:27] Like you're not walking away from that.
[00:29:31] And getting drove away from it.
[00:29:34] I mean, this isn't happening.
[00:29:37] There's so much shit that goes on in those movies
[00:29:39] where it's like, and this is like from like fast forward.
[00:29:45] Like the first three were kind of realistic at least. every single fucking movie. I know they're stupidly ridiculous, but it is just, to me, it's bell to bell, pure macho adrenaline over the top, brain candy, you know? And I'm there for the two, two hour, two plus hour,
[00:31:02] just ridiculousness of it.
[00:31:04] But you throw in, I thought Momoa was phenomenal.
[00:32:07] character, and then he just kind of went almost out of character at some points, not out of character, but
[00:32:11] goofy. Not goofy. That's not the wrong word because he was goofy. I don't know how to describe it.
[00:32:16] I just kind of was like, I kind of like, you can almost see me like go.
[00:32:20] Yeah, you know what I mean? Like just, you know,
[00:32:24] I did the same thing when I
[00:33:24] Even though it was fin lizzy and it wasn't anywhere near what they were doing was you know It was head for good whiskey in the jar
[00:33:29] I know I love their version, but he does he does that he's like you know, you're just like wow
[00:33:36] Could have dialed that down to about ten
[00:33:42] But I get what you're saying to an extent, but like I liked it from a mohua cuz
[00:34:44] Yeah, but like you get that that speech like even though it's all in both
[00:34:52] Raki like when he gives that speech about crossing the the poison water and everything like you're like oh shit this is
[00:34:53] Fuck yeah, and that but usually it's just like silent mamoa just staring at you. Yeah, you just like fuck you
[00:35:01] He wants to fuck her dirt
[00:35:05] But that wasn't just dirt
[00:36:00] Yeah.
[00:36:02] That's pretty rough.
[00:36:02] Yeah.
[00:36:07] Um, that's so funny.
[00:36:10] I'll never forget that. I'm at first on the watch.
[00:36:11] I was like, I'm not blushing.
[00:36:20] You had no idea what he was saying.
[00:36:21] Yeah.
[00:36:22] You know, I'm not looking at dogs r interesting and it pertains to a lot of what we discuss. Yeah. But the other, you end up having to talk about a VISTA man because of this. So on Tuesday, WWE announces that they have signed a 10-year $5 billion deal to air Monday
[00:37:45] night RAW on Netflix.
[00:37:48] Okay. crazy story and there are like so this is all allegedly but there are like in in in the suit there are screenshots of um text messages between this woman and vidspic man okay where like he's talking about like like first I thought he he
[00:39:06] meets he meets this girl shitting on a woman like
[00:40:22] and then later on like
[00:40:25] there's like these like
[00:41:23] with Brock Lesnar to bring him in back in was, well, I have this girl you can fuck.
[00:41:26] All right.
[00:41:27] Yeah.
[00:41:28] Like, and it's all documented.
[00:41:31] Really?
[00:41:32] It's like, like, holy shit.
[00:41:34] Like, like, you always knew.
[00:41:38] And like Vince had to resign.
[00:41:39] Like, this was all before the sale of TKO
[00:41:43] to, to, to endeavor to form the TKO company.
[00:41:48] Okay. Okay, okay, which was like, okay, that's interesting. Like earlier this last year in their SEC filing, Endeavor listed Vince McMahon as a problem. Really? Because the year before he had stepped down, if you recall, like there were all these allegations
[00:43:01] that were surrounding him. Stop paying me. He is part of my NDA. I was promised X amount of money, which I was never delivered upon. So my NDA is now null and void. And I can tell you what the fuck happened. Right, right, right. You know, and this is what the fuck happened. You know, and it's like, it's soils in a lot of ways like this massive deal
[00:44:23] with Netflix.
[00:44:25] Okay.
[00:44:26] You know, because that's the longer the story.
[00:44:28] Right, right. like streaming services, forking out massive dollars for what is a surefire property. Okay. Monday night raw on average generates one and a half of two million viewers every Monday night.
[00:45:41] Yeah. That doesn't matter if they're going up against the NFL, that doesn't matter if
[00:45:45] they're going up against the Nashville championship game for college football or basketball. It And it's off the heels of, like I said, 25 million people watched the dolphins and the chiefs on wildcard weekend on Peacock, which was behind a paywall. You know what I mean? Like that's an impressive number. Now I mean at the end of the day, like how many people had to sign up for Peacock?
[00:47:05] How many people kept Peacock?
[00:47:06] I don't know.
[00:47:07] Like that's not telling you. I've told you, I mean, and you know the history of me, Raw has been around for 30 plus years at this point. Right. You know, it's one of the longest running programs on TV and it's 52 weeks a year. Right, right. You know, there are no off, there's no off season for professional wrestling. Like, what are your thoughts on what this means for,
[00:48:23] not only Netflix, but streaming as a whole You know what I mean? To get a cable. Right. No offense to anybody that has cable out there. I'm not I'm not down. You know, I'm not being mean to you. Right. At all. I'm just saying that. You think they were lower their prices to match the competition,
[00:49:41] but they're not doing that.
[00:49:43] But the problem becomes this.
[00:49:47] It's not it is a you to keep the service. Right, right, right. You know what I mean? Like, that's why cable, like cable companies aren't like, anytime when I worked at this network, anytime we had a
[00:51:03] dispute with a, a service, like as an example, like,
[00:52:08] script to read to you that tells you that Viacom, that's the company, Viacom, they are asking for extraordinary fees to be paid for us to carry their programming and unfortunately we'll be forced
[00:52:16] to pass that cost on to you and raise your rates. So we're fighting for you the consumer to not
[00:52:22] raise your rates because of what Viacom wants to do. So don But you're also asking me to subscribe to your streaming service to get all the exclusive you have there, plus all the shit I'm getting on cable. Well, it's a thing. It's like, I hear you. It's just I know some people that are paying $300
[00:53:42] a month for cable.
[00:53:43] Yeah.
[00:53:44] And I'm like, we have, I mean, well, I appreciate the fact that she has YouTube TV. Right. I do. Because, I mean, I watch it here and there, but I mostly watch it for games. Right. For, you know, football games. But, but there's also some good stuff on YouTube TV.
[00:55:02] I mean, like, it's a good service.
[00:55:04] Yeah.
[00:55:05] And that's, I think, 80 bucks a month or 70 bucks a month.
[00:55:07] Right.
[00:56:06] Alright, and then I want to throw this sword off those assets.
[00:56:10] And I think I need to be professional here and actually
[00:57:44] I'm gonna pull up the fucking article. ABG clicks old familiar brands that are past their primes and tries to extract value from them by leveraging them in new contexts. In the case of Sports Illustrated, they planned to create sports illustrated bars and restaurants, sports illustrated gyms, hotels and so on. They were mainly buying names Sports Illustrated. Of course, Sports Illustrated is also a media property not just a brand name, so when ABG purchased Sports Illustrated from Meredith there was a delizating agreement between Arena and ABG was coming to an end, and so ABG just laid off all of their employees that were attached to support illustrations, they're no longer gonna be publishing. Okay.
[00:59:01] Now, I don't know what's gonna happen
[00:59:03] with support illustrations, but this feels like
[00:59:06] the end of an era.
[00:59:08] Okay. Yeah, that was there. I mean, sure, we all enjoyed it. But I mean, I was subscribing to Sports Illustrated for the sports aspect of it. Like, you know, I want. I enjoyed the photography. I enjoyed the covers. Like, who was on the cover of Sports Illustrated? What was the big story this week? Like, it was all stuff that I
[01:00:22] enjoyed getting from Sports Illustrated. Plus, it's part of a bygone era, but it's still something that like, I always loved and appreciated. I don't know if you had like the same feeling about SI? I didn't read much of it. Yeah.
[01:01:40] I mean, I, I a little bit, but I wasn't, I didn't like buy the magazine.
[01:01:43] Yeah.
[01:01:44] Except for the swimsuit issue. The Dallas Cowboys. Right, right. Like, exactly. There was a time where there was real journalism taking place at ESPN. Chris Berman was great. He was. Bob Lee was great. Yeah. There were so many, like, like, one of my favorite shows. It's probably the birthplace of, like, debate TV, but it was done so well. It was a show.
[01:03:00] It was on every Sunday morning called the sports reporters.
[01:03:03] And it was like four okay, this is big. But they were competing against sports illustrated. You know, at one point, sports illustrated
[01:04:22] was part of CNN.
[01:04:23] Like CNN would have like a sports hour.
[01:05:24] much the way the newspaper is gone, it makes me sad. Right.
[01:05:25] Like it's just aging out.
[01:05:28] Yeah, yeah.
[01:05:28] You know, but it still makes me sad that like,
[01:05:32] like we discussed like that,
[01:05:34] that feeling of going to the video store last week.
[01:05:37] Right, right.
[01:05:38] There was something too, sitting down
[01:05:41] and spending 20 minutes reading the sports page.
[01:05:43] Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
[01:05:46] You know, I'm gonna no cook may have said like you know when you're when you're watching the dogs
[01:07:05] Whichever one takes the shit last that's the one you bet on cuz he's the lightest nice You know And I do miss it. I also miss When we were kids this phase that long time ago, I still missed it for a very long time. That was a long time ago Yeah, but in the Sunday paper In the entertainment section Like they would have to list things for like the movies for the week
[01:08:22] But they always had like all like the um
[01:09:23] I mean I can remember when the Sunday was like 50 cents. Yeah.
[01:09:24] No really.
[01:09:25] I mean I should.
[01:09:26] But it was thick as a fucking phone bar.
[01:09:27] It's dating me but I mean like it was 50 cents.
[01:09:30] Yeah.
[01:09:31] It was like 350.
[01:09:32] Yeah.
[01:09:33] It's crazy.
[01:09:34] It's half the size.
[01:09:35] Right.
[01:09:36] And you only buy it for fucking two points.
[01:09:38] Yeah.
[01:09:39] Yeah exactly.
[01:09:40] Yeah.
[01:09:41] And that's the whole thing.
[01:09:43] It was just I remember mom bringing home the Sunday. Those theaters had two maybe three theaters. And so you had to find where the movie you wanted to see was playing. So yeah, you know, grumb ones maybe playing a showcase cinema east, but back to the future was playing at the Oakmont.
[01:11:00] Right, right.
[01:11:01] It was like stuff like that.
[01:11:04] Not all theaters had all the movies like they do not.
[01:11:08] Agreed. This is like it's the best shit that was ever invented Fucking give me a nacho. I'm good. No, really. Yeah, not showing a lemon blend. I'm happy as hell. Yeah, it wasn't just popcorn and Candy at that point. Yeah, like they they brought in the nacho I'm not sure with a game changer. Oh game changer
[01:12:22] And I can remember at showcase East
[01:12:25] They had a roller girl and they started selling hot dogs
[01:13:26] I did I just watched me with a holocaust. Yeah, I just watched a show on yeah on the
[01:13:29] synagogue. Yeah, you know Yeah, that's where they came right. Sorry a little drunk
[01:13:33] I am not yeah, not that person but
[01:13:39] Anyway when they came out when they came out with that shit that was just like the funny thing is like game changer
[01:13:46] Now today you can get whatever the fuck you want there Yeah, yeah, and they only had so much room. Right. So like having the nachos was like a... Holy shit, you could do that here. Yeah. Having the roller was like, Oh shit, you could do that here. But... Like now... Like I remember like going in and like, you know... You gotta have a beer. Like what? Yeah.
[01:15:00] No, you can't mix beer to movie.
[01:15:03] That's unnatural.
[01:15:04] And I don't.
[01:15:06] New to the lot.
[01:15:06] To this day.
[01:15:07] To this day. it was. Yeah. This, that, and the other. I never really got into the beer thing. No. Going to a movie. No. I just wanted my standard, maybe, maybe because I'm old fashion, but I just wanted my, you know, old-fashioned pop and popcorn. Yeah. Or an acho. Yeah. And I just want to sit there and, I would. There are days where I think, what's up, man, I wish I could have some lemon blend. I mean, I'm so old that I remember going into theater and always begged my mother, any, but I remember this, begged my mother to go in at least an hour early so we could play video games. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I remember the video games that
[01:17:44] were there at the theater. Yeah. It was like asteroids and shit the theater. Oh man, I just get that out of here playing nothing. You got fucking Uno.
[01:19:02] You got nothing to rainbow.
[01:19:04]
