00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,560
>> Will: Music
2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,039
>> Sarah : Greetings Nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont, and with me,
3
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:19,000
as always, this is our Mr. Producer, Will Polk How are you doing tonight.
4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,280
Will.
5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,760
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah. How you doing this evening?
6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,880
>> Sarah : I'm doing good.
7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,800
I'm. I'm in cooler temperatures. You're in a
8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,040
heat dome, you know.
9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,800
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My. My
10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,200
sweaty. My sweat is sweating. So.
11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,530
So dag on hot down here right now. and I think pretty much
12
00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:41,410
anybody who's listening, like, in the eastern United States
13
00:00:41,410 --> 00:00:44,410
or central United States, definitely understands what.
14
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:44,730
>> Sarah : Where.
15
00:00:45,370 --> 00:00:48,280
>> Will: What. What I'm saying there. yeah, it's. It's definitely
16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,840
not. Not very pleasant right now. Yeah.
17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
>> Sarah : Okay. So over
18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,840
the weekend, or like last Thursday, Friday,
19
00:00:57,510 --> 00:01:00,470
Amazon dropped this show called,
20
00:01:00,690 --> 00:01:03,530
We Were Liars, and it's
21
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:06,450
based off of a book that was very popular
22
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:09,290
during the pandemic, and it's produced by
23
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:10,970
Julie Pleck, who
24
00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:15,130
produced and probably the showrunner. I don't know all of the
25
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:18,100
credit she has, but Julie Pleck is the mastermind,
26
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:21,850
behind Vampire Diaries and the originals and that
27
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:24,800
whole thing, so I'm very familiar
28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,760
with her. and I
29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,480
kept seeing on my for you page, like,
30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,790
little clips and everything. and
31
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:36,710
everyone was like, it's so sad at the end. It's so
32
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:39,670
sad at the end. Okay. No. No, it's
33
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:42,550
not. If you really
34
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:45,510
think about it, people, if you really think
35
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:47,830
about the story that we were told,
36
00:01:48,530 --> 00:01:50,930
it is not that sad because
37
00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:54,210
it actually makes your main character look like a freaking
38
00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:56,930
idiot. It's just.
39
00:01:57,090 --> 00:01:59,730
It's just so stupid. But. And.
40
00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:02,770
And I. I had known something was
41
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:05,690
off for a while. I didn't exactly
42
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:08,450
predict it, so I can't say I didn't see the twist
43
00:02:08,450 --> 00:02:11,410
coming. And then, of course, the night before, I watched the last
44
00:02:11,410 --> 00:02:14,210
episode, which there's only eight episodes, so it's not that
45
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:16,380
long at all. I'm just like.
46
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,300
I randomly see a clip, and I kind of.
47
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,620
I didn't fully get the explanation, but I was
48
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:26,180
like, oh, that's where this is headed. Got it.
49
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:29,060
Okay. Okay. So now I
50
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,740
just have to watch the last episode, which is so stupid.
51
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:35,100
It. Yeah, I. I was.
52
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,900
I'm a bit angry about this show
53
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,780
because it's one of those shows where
54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520
I started watching it and then quickly found
55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
myself. Like, it was noise in the background.
56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,360
Okay. And then as
57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200
I get to the end, like. Like the. Finally
58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120
the reveal of what happened to,
59
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:59,090
Cadence, the. The summer before
60
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:02,770
which she's been trying to figure out this whole
61
00:03:02,770 --> 00:03:05,250
thing. I mean, she ends up with trauma
62
00:03:05,890 --> 00:03:07,970
to the Point of PTSD and
63
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:10,590
amnesia that is trauma
64
00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:12,910
responsive. So
65
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:16,010
you, you find out what happened.
66
00:03:18,330 --> 00:03:21,330
Like, I can see how it would be. I
67
00:03:21,330 --> 00:03:24,170
can see reading the book. This is a very good
68
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:25,930
story to tell via book.
69
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:27,050
>> Will: Okay.
70
00:03:27,210 --> 00:03:30,010
>> Sarah : I have some issues with how they explained it, how they
71
00:03:30,010 --> 00:03:32,890
tell it via show. And, and
72
00:03:33,370 --> 00:03:35,370
I, I saw a lot of Julie Pleck.
73
00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:39,870
Just like, I'm like you. I see what you're
74
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:41,910
doing here and you
75
00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:44,550
definitely want this show to continue,
76
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:48,190
but I don't think that's the way the book works. I
77
00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:50,630
know that there's somewhat of a sequel called
78
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:53,750
the Family of Liars, but.
79
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:56,870
Or Family of Liars, but at the
80
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:59,790
same time I'm just. And they, and they kind
81
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:02,590
of set it up through a few different things in the
82
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:05,450
finale. But I'm thinking in my head, I'm like,
83
00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:08,610
why do I even care? Because the
84
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:11,330
current story should be over. It
85
00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:14,170
should be over. And then they did this
86
00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:17,090
weird thing that makes, it makes you think.
87
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,970
It's not. It's just in
88
00:04:19,970 --> 00:04:22,970
comparison to other quote unquote
89
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:25,290
young adult shows that I've watched recently.
90
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:28,730
This is, this is not up there. I
91
00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:31,290
mean from what I hear, this was in
92
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:33,880
competition to Netflix's his new show called the
93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Waterfront, which is trying to be a new
94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,000
Yellowstone. So it was either we were liars of
95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,880
Waterfront, from what I understand. I chose the
96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,640
better of the two.
97
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,000
>> Will: Okay. Yes. Well, I haven't heard of the
98
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,410
Amazon show. I have, I have seen promos
99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,920
for, for the Netflix show the Waterfront.
100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,200
>> Sarah : But.
101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,640
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, but now I was, I was all.
102
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800
This weekend was, watched. Well watch
103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,630
the NBA Finals, you know, so. But
104
00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:03,590
as far as other other television programs,
105
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:05,990
I actually, I saw
106
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:09,310
Oldie but Goody, at
107
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,880
the local performing arts center was the
108
00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:15,340
something like the Hot the Musical. And you know,
109
00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:18,120
it's it's the stage adaptation of the old
110
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
1959 film that starred Tony Curtis, Jack
111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,930
Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe. which it
112
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:26,730
was a big fit of nostalgia for me because when I was in
113
00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:29,410
college actually in my acting class,
114
00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:32,980
we actually actually performed a scene,
115
00:05:33,890 --> 00:05:36,210
from that, from that movie. And
116
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:40,120
and, and so the basic
117
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,600
story is it's like these two, two friends,
118
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,560
two guys who basically see a mob hit
119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,560
in Chicago have to go on the run and they have
120
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200
to, they have to. And. And they
121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,840
stole away on a
122
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,840
trip, cross country trip with a all girl
123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
chorus. And of course they, they had to dress up. They
124
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,960
disguised themselves as, as women. So
125
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,920
it was Joe and Jerry. And Joe and Jerry
126
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,520
became Josephine and Daphne. So
127
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,080
I, I played the Jack Lemon character and the one
128
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,050
I play. well, in the one scene that we did back
129
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:18,890
in the college and I actually did, even though
130
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:21,210
there's a photo of it somewhere out there,
131
00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:24,410
there is a photo of me dressed up as Daphne.
132
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:28,860
M. playing. Playing, you know, Jerry's character,
133
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:31,910
as Daphne in the scene that we did from very, very
134
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:34,900
early in the movie. But, I think the photo has probably been lost to Tom
135
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:37,860
somewhere. but, yeah, I had a little. I had a little
136
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:39,700
trip down nostalgia lane this weekend.
137
00:06:40,690 --> 00:06:42,770
>> Sarah : Yeah, it sounds like it.
138
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:43,730
>> Will: Yeah.
139
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:47,500
>> Sarah : Speaking, about oldies but goodies, it
140
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,220
was announced that Jon Bernthal will appear as
141
00:06:50,220 --> 00:06:52,580
Punisher in Spider Man. Brand new day.
142
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,730
and my only, my only thought is,
143
00:06:56,530 --> 00:06:59,490
okay, so we should get Daredevil too. Right?
144
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:02,290
I mean, Matt's already appeared
145
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:05,470
in, no Way Home.
146
00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:08,110
So, so like,
147
00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:11,710
like, I, I, I definitely
148
00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:14,710
want to understand. And then, and then I go into
149
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:16,990
this thought process. Well, if you're gonna do,
150
00:07:18,110 --> 00:07:21,030
then based on how Daredevil
151
00:07:21,030 --> 00:07:22,270
Born Again ended,
152
00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:27,230
Spidey has to show up for it to make
153
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:29,550
any sense in the second season.
154
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:33,320
>> Will: Yeah. You know. Yeah. So I've been thinking about
155
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,160
this too, especially since I saw the news. I think it dropped over the
156
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,510
weekend. And, and of course
157
00:07:39,070 --> 00:07:42,000
there is, you know, as far as, like, in the comics, there is the Amazing,
158
00:07:42,470 --> 00:07:45,420
spider man, 129, which was when
159
00:07:46,459 --> 00:07:49,390
Daredevil, excuse me, not Daredevil, but the Punisher was
160
00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:51,870
first introduced in, in into
161
00:07:52,510 --> 00:07:55,390
the Marvel universe. And so just
162
00:07:55,390 --> 00:07:57,990
to get back into the comic book lore, the
163
00:07:57,990 --> 00:08:00,980
Jackal, who was a, enemy of Spider man, actually hires
164
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:03,860
Frank to, to kill Spider man. And in
165
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:06,860
this particular comic. And, and so
166
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:09,860
a lot of things happen at the end of the, you know, Frank
167
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:12,540
and, and Spidey have a couple
168
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:15,300
showdowns and stuff. But, at the end of the day, Frank
169
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,100
realizes that the, the Jackal actually was manipulating
170
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,970
him. And, and then the sort of, you know, and it
171
00:08:20,970 --> 00:08:23,829
sort of takes them on the path, you know, of course, eventually
172
00:08:23,829 --> 00:08:26,779
we all know that, you know, Frank, is the anti hero,
173
00:08:26,779 --> 00:08:29,699
but, you know, but is friendly towards like, Spider man and other
174
00:08:29,699 --> 00:08:32,699
people in the. As far as. As far as in the Marvel
175
00:08:33,339 --> 00:08:36,299
universe. So. But I wonder, you know, so when I saw this
176
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,219
news, I was like, are they going to adapt that story? Or to your point,
177
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:41,819
like, you know, given that what we saw in.
178
00:08:42,219 --> 00:08:45,069
At the end of, the last Spider man movie, you know,
179
00:08:45,069 --> 00:08:47,750
Peter's mind is like white bus strange already.
180
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:50,310
Gonna, like, have some kind of mentor, mentee type of
181
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:53,190
relationship, you know, to fill in that void that, you know,
182
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:55,870
that Tony played and then, of course, later, Strange played
183
00:08:56,030 --> 00:08:58,990
in the mcu. So, you know, I was just like,
184
00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:01,950
yeah, I'm starting a theory spiral, too. And also to your point about,
185
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:04,830
you know, Will. Will he show up? Will Spidey show up in Daredevil?
186
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:08,310
>> Sarah : He has to. Okay, this
187
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:11,150
can't be a question. Okay, Feige, if you're
188
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:14,120
gonna do a universe and you're gonna tell
189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,760
me that Fisk is basically create. Has
190
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
created his own island, that is New York,
191
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:22,880
M. Okay. Because somehow the mayor
192
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,840
has all of this power to do that, and he
193
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,839
manipulated the system, and Spider man is
194
00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:31,560
in New York, and he doesn't help. He
195
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,440
doesn't help. Makes no sense. Makes no
196
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,200
sense. And this is. This is part of the issue with
197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,920
shared universes. But, like, like,
198
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,400
you. You have to give us something,
199
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040
and then you can give us everything in Spider Man.
200
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,040
A brand new day.
201
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,600
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. I might
202
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,560
be making this up, but didn't this. In this past season of Daredevil,
203
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,560
Born again? They referenced Spider Man. Yeah.
204
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:57,680
Okay. Okay. Yeah.
205
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
>> Sarah : Like. Like, I,
206
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,050
I, I do. And. And we
207
00:10:05,050 --> 00:10:07,840
even see, Daredevil show up in,
208
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:10,830
In the Spider man show that we watched
209
00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:12,590
earlier this year. Yeah, yeah,
210
00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:15,950
yeah, yeah. So. So,
211
00:10:16,270 --> 00:10:19,150
like, all the pieces are here. And. And yes, I
212
00:10:19,150 --> 00:10:21,710
am more curious about Spider
213
00:10:21,790 --> 00:10:24,630
man and Frank's dynamic than Spider
214
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:27,230
man and Max dynamic, but
215
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:30,950
I just. And also,
216
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:33,990
oh, while we're taking requests, because obviously
217
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:36,740
this is. This is what we're doing here. Karen
218
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:39,620
Page. Karen Page. We.
219
00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:42,420
We need resolution about what happened.
220
00:10:42,579 --> 00:10:45,300
Okay? And by. And by we,
221
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:48,740
I mean all of us who are still
222
00:10:49,060 --> 00:10:51,780
holding a torch for
223
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:54,700
Frank and Karen. Okay. Give us a
224
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,020
damn kiss, people.
225
00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:01,490
>> Will: See, this is where. This is where, you know, I don't have any rooting
226
00:11:01,490 --> 00:11:04,490
interest one way or another with. With the shipping there,
227
00:11:04,490 --> 00:11:06,410
so I'm. I'm just sort of like, you do.
228
00:11:06,410 --> 00:11:09,410
>> Sarah : You do. You're on my side. Okay? Just. Just
229
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:12,210
call it. Your vote has already been
230
00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:14,290
cast. I've already signed it over. Okay.
231
00:11:14,290 --> 00:11:17,210
>> Will: All right. I handed over a proxy to you. Okay. Okay.
232
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:19,050
Yeah, I gave him a proxy. Okay.
233
00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:21,050
>> Sarah : That's the way this works. Okay.
234
00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:26,890
I just. I mean, I have. I have wanted
235
00:11:27,210 --> 00:11:29,970
the Daredevil crossover, and we're getting
236
00:11:29,970 --> 00:11:32,810
pun. It's just all the pieces are there, and
237
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:35,650
it's kind of cool because, yeah, like. And
238
00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:38,610
I'm sure a lot of people have talked about this aspect of it is
239
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:41,610
that Tom Holland was Shooting a movie with
240
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:44,530
John Bernthal when he was trying, when
241
00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:47,210
he was doing, they were doing the Spider man casting.
242
00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:50,370
And so Tom Holland read lines with
243
00:11:50,370 --> 00:11:53,370
John Bernthal that ultimately led to him
244
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:56,210
getting the part. So it's, it's very full
245
00:11:56,210 --> 00:11:59,090
circle. And then that just tells me you better
246
00:11:59,090 --> 00:12:01,650
do some sort of mentor mentees thing,
247
00:12:02,210 --> 00:12:05,000
happening. Even though I, I don't.
248
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,320
This, this just means that Daredevil
249
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,320
season two has so much
250
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,640
set up, so much it has to do
251
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,890
because the Frank that we left
252
00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:21,450
off and we met in season
253
00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:24,130
one, I, I hope
254
00:12:24,130 --> 00:12:27,080
he's, he's a little bit more, how do we put it
255
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,680
before he goes and meets young Peter Parker.
256
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:33,680
Okay, I, I
257
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,530
hope, some, some blocks are
258
00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:38,730
put in place, so to speak. So,
259
00:12:39,890 --> 00:12:42,860
and then the. Okay,
260
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:45,620
okay. Mahershala, Mahershala,
261
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:48,550
Mahershala, I love you. I love you. but you
262
00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:49,390
gotta let it go.
263
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:55,460
I'm sorry. I see you in these Jurassic
264
00:12:55,460 --> 00:12:58,380
park trailers. I see you in ScarJo,
265
00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,060
and I'm just thinking in my head, what are they doing
266
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,260
in that movie? And if I, I don't,
267
00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:08,220
I don't know. I don't know about this. I
268
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:11,110
was. If, like, how, how long ago was
269
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:13,870
it announced now? Six years. Because it was announced
270
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:15,390
in 2019. Right?
271
00:13:15,870 --> 00:13:16,950
>> Will: That's right. Yep.
272
00:13:16,950 --> 00:13:19,710
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah, it was the
273
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:22,350
last great hurrah before every, like the world
274
00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:25,110
changed, completely. So,
275
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:27,750
so. And he's still, he's still
276
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:31,350
like. You can play Blades, Blade's father
277
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:33,670
at this point.
278
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:34,870
>> Will: Yeah, A little flashback.
279
00:13:36,630 --> 00:13:39,350
Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, it's
280
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:42,350
funny. So not only. Yeah, because he, you know, he did mention, I
281
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:45,340
guess to your point about the, Jurassic, what it was. What's
282
00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:48,140
the title for the new Jurassic park movie? I don't know. I, I'm
283
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:50,660
not, I'm completely off of that universe. But,
284
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,560
but he just basically is like, call Marvel, let them know I'm ready. But
285
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,200
I mean this, this film has gone through
286
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,320
like what, two, three directors, I think
287
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,320
four, maybe a handful of writers. And
288
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,120
interestingly enough, I think David Goyer, who actually wrote
289
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,100
the Blade film back in the day with,
290
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:11,700
for Wesley Snipes. I was reading, I was reading
291
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:14,460
interview with him and you know, and of course, you know, people
292
00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:17,380
now really associate him more with DC because of all
293
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:19,750
the work that he's done, you know, with
294
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,080
I think man of Steel and, and, and Some of
295
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,320
Krypton and you know, and so many other
296
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,190
dc, projects, also that think that other
297
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:32,190
Suicide Squad movie two, the first one, not the James Gun
298
00:14:32,190 --> 00:14:35,040
one but you know, but he, but he did cut
299
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,880
his teeth on Blade as far
300
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,800
as he's like look, I'm, I'm here if y' all, if
301
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,680
y' all need me to write a script, I'm here. So who knows?
302
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200
Yeah, everybody, everybody associated with
303
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240
anything of Bleed, they're like we're
304
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:50,560
here.
305
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,750
>> Sarah : But well it's it's Marvel in general.
306
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:56,950
I mean Marvel or dc, anytime you're
307
00:14:56,950 --> 00:14:59,950
associated with any big franchise and even though
308
00:14:59,950 --> 00:15:02,810
you're promoting a different product project, it's always like
309
00:15:02,890 --> 00:15:05,530
so I mean an
310
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,410
association is even a stretch. It's like
311
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:11,410
you're just on the list of people potentially
312
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:12,570
to get this part
313
00:15:14,410 --> 00:15:17,090
for some reason those like less than five
314
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:19,970
minute interviews, they seem to run out of
315
00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:22,730
questions very quickly about the actual project of
316
00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:23,370
promotions.
317
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:27,960
but yeah, what that project.
318
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,160
And like my last point about it is also
319
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,840
we get it Mahershala, technically you were ready
320
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,880
five years ago and that's great.
321
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,400
But that also tells me you
322
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120
haven't aren't reading the script. And,
323
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,390
and I'm I'm not going just to see you as
324
00:15:47,390 --> 00:15:50,110
Blade. I would actually like to see a good movie.
325
00:15:52,110 --> 00:15:53,550
>> Will: Exactly exactly.
326
00:15:54,130 --> 00:15:57,050
>> Sarah : Like like are you, have
327
00:15:57,050 --> 00:15:59,650
you seen some of the pieces of trash that have been
328
00:15:59,650 --> 00:16:02,650
produced when you just
329
00:16:02,650 --> 00:16:04,690
are just like just put something together?
330
00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:06,210
Madame Web.
331
00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:09,330
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
332
00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:12,570
Oh gosh, yeah yeah, hopefully. Well, I
333
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:15,380
know, I know next week we'll start start talking
334
00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:18,260
about Ironheart which M is premiering tonight and
335
00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:20,890
seeing things seen seen
336
00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:24,050
mixed reviews about it but you know, so,
337
00:16:24,290 --> 00:16:27,090
but I'm glad that a lot of folks are
338
00:16:27,090 --> 00:16:29,810
really just pushing it. You know I think fandom
339
00:16:29,810 --> 00:16:32,580
and just really were
340
00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:35,260
put you know been pushing the, the, the
341
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:38,260
advertisement for it. I will say watching NBA Finals given
342
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:40,580
that it's all you know, they, that the
343
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,320
result ABC is owned by Disney. I will say I did see
344
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,140
more a lot of advertisements during, during the, during the
345
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:50,030
basketball playoffs for the
346
00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:52,710
for the show. So looking forward to catching it this,
347
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:55,400
this, this this week. And then I guess they're dropping
348
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,120
first three tonight and then they're dropped the
349
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,040
next the remaining three next Tuesday. So.
350
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,840
>> Sarah : Yep yep. Oh the
351
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,600
remaining three next Tuesday.
352
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,600
>> Will: Yeah yeah, they just. Yeah.
353
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,760
>> Sarah : Oh they changed it again.
354
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:13,090
>> Will: They changed. Yeah yeah so they changed.
355
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:16,930
Yeah yeah so yeah, I know we didn't get a chance. I didn't,
356
00:17:16,930 --> 00:17:19,930
I didn't mention it on our, on our show. May have posted
357
00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:22,680
on our socials. But yeah, the, the the
358
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,680
slate is the first three tonight, and then the next three
359
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,199
next week. So just.
360
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,160
>> Sarah : That actually works in our favor, so.
361
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,000
>> Will: Yeah, exactly.
362
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,520
>> Sarah : I'm all for it.
363
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,960
>> Will: Yeah. I already adjusted our. I already adjusted our schedule. I was like,
364
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,040
okay, just, you know, we know. We know our content
365
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
thing going into, you know, the next two weeks. Going into Superman.
366
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,240
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, Superman. And then this
367
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,060
other little film called, Fantastic Four. It's just an
368
00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:49,260
indie project. It's gonna be very small.
369
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:50,940
>> Will: Yeah. Very, very small.
370
00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:53,740
>> Sarah : Very, very small. Yeah, we. July.
371
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:55,870
July, is looking bright.
372
00:17:57,020 --> 00:17:59,820
but before we get there, we have to close out
373
00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:01,980
the studio. Season one,
374
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:05,370
starting off with episode eight, the Golden
375
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:06,980
Globes, which,
376
00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:11,810
out of the three, this was my favorite episode.
377
00:18:12,370 --> 00:18:12,850
>> Will: Yeah.
378
00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:17,170
>> Sarah : I love the ongoing gag
379
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:19,970
of all of the acceptance speeches
380
00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:22,970
thanking, Sal. I really like
381
00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:25,250
that. I thought that was. That was
382
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:27,970
honestly so great.
383
00:18:28,530 --> 00:18:31,410
Towards the end, it got a little overplayed, but I was still
384
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:33,090
just, like, there for it.
385
00:18:33,730 --> 00:18:34,450
>> Will: Yeah. And.
386
00:18:34,930 --> 00:18:37,330
>> Sarah : And I. I, think this
387
00:18:37,330 --> 00:18:39,970
continues to go back to
388
00:18:40,290 --> 00:18:43,090
some discussions that we've had in the past. And.
389
00:18:43,730 --> 00:18:46,610
And Matt. Matt is very.
390
00:18:49,570 --> 00:18:52,450
He. They. They did an interesting thing with
391
00:18:52,450 --> 00:18:55,170
his character because there
392
00:18:55,170 --> 00:18:58,050
is so much ego, but
393
00:18:58,050 --> 00:19:00,630
it's maxed by
394
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:03,910
this naiveness that I think
395
00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:06,790
viewers can see themselves in. Matt.
396
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:07,990
>> Will: Yeah.
397
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:11,260
>> Sarah : while. While they're able to
398
00:19:11,260 --> 00:19:14,180
also take that. That good quality about
399
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:17,060
him and then kind of twist
400
00:19:17,060 --> 00:19:19,700
it and then also bring out
401
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:22,620
the. I'm the big man at the top of the
402
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:23,380
pyramid,
403
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:28,380
like. Like I deserve
404
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:31,380
respect, even though I don't know
405
00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:34,380
how to get it until I ask the other person
406
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:37,340
and they tell me, well, you gotta write it in their
407
00:19:37,420 --> 00:19:38,380
contracts.
408
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,219
>> Will: There was so. Yeah, there was
409
00:19:43,219 --> 00:19:45,980
so many things with that scene with him and Tess
410
00:19:45,980 --> 00:19:48,380
Arandos, who wrote. Who was the CEO of Netflix.
411
00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:48,900
>> Sarah : Right.
412
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,780
>> Will: So. Yeah. And. And yeah, that.
413
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:54,780
That, To your point, that's one of the things that
414
00:19:54,780 --> 00:19:57,620
made this episode for me probably of the
415
00:19:57,620 --> 00:20:00,540
bunch might agree, my favorite of the
416
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:03,490
last three that we. That we watched this week. and
417
00:20:03,490 --> 00:20:06,370
the other thing, too, is I thought about as I
418
00:20:06,370 --> 00:20:09,250
was watching the episode and, you know, and they were having the. The.
419
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:12,170
The. The M. Interviews, and of course, Zoe Kravitz is there,
420
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:15,130
and of course she's one of the front runners. But, you
421
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:17,890
know, when Matt was walking on the red carpet and having the junket
422
00:20:17,890 --> 00:20:20,730
interviews, there was also, like, all the influencers. And I
423
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:23,210
couldn't help but think about our conversation that we had
424
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:26,570
last week, about. Yeah, you know,
425
00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:29,250
how they'll just show up but,
426
00:20:29,570 --> 00:20:32,490
you know, do their thing. But also you know,
427
00:20:32,490 --> 00:20:35,250
you know, they're just there on the carpet. But they don't actually. Actually go into
428
00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:38,159
the, Into. Into the ceremonies themselves. They just do their thing
429
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:41,040
and just move on. But also just, again, how influence of culture is
430
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,920
just really. Is really driving the train so much
431
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,800
these days as far as. As far as films
432
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,760
and TV and casting.
433
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:52,430
>> Sarah : Right, right. But they weren't even allowed in the ceremony.
434
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:55,470
It's like this weird thing. They're.
435
00:20:55,470 --> 00:20:58,390
They're. They're definitely part of
436
00:20:58,390 --> 00:21:00,990
media and attention and word of
437
00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:03,670
mouth and that whole thing which, which the
438
00:21:03,670 --> 00:21:06,430
movies need. So you. So
439
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:09,390
you see Matt walk through and,
440
00:21:09,950 --> 00:21:12,870
and suddenly it's like, oh, well, I'm
441
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:15,750
used to the old media and how. But I don't
442
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:18,430
understand this. This new wave of new
443
00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:21,110
media. And then I go through the
444
00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:24,030
golden gates and get into this place where these
445
00:21:24,030 --> 00:21:26,830
people I've worked with and I
446
00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:29,270
admire and all. And like, the
447
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:32,230
artists, like, all of this emphasis on.
448
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:35,830
On him going to an award show
449
00:21:35,910 --> 00:21:37,750
where they celebrate work.
450
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:41,790
And Matt told us from day one, like,
451
00:21:41,790 --> 00:21:44,500
his job is to decide
452
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:46,100
which movies get made.
453
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:47,300
>> Will: Yeah.
454
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:50,820
>> Sarah : And so what we're finding over the course
455
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:53,700
of the season and really drives home in this episode
456
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,180
is like, how much
457
00:21:57,540 --> 00:22:00,540
that deciding what movies get made is a
458
00:22:00,540 --> 00:22:01,940
big deal. However,
459
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:06,500
does that really put you on the team of
460
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,220
the creative artistry
461
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:10,740
that is filmmaking?
462
00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:14,810
and. And I thought that was. That was really good
463
00:22:14,810 --> 00:22:16,650
because it also parallels
464
00:22:17,530 --> 00:22:19,370
the episode from last week,
465
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:23,160
with the. At the charity event where
466
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,000
then he's like, he. He's the
467
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,960
spokesperson for the arts.
468
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600
And. And we see him rejected in that
469
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,200
world because they're all science people.
470
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:37,280
Right. And now you see him, kind
471
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000
of rejected in this artist world
472
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,160
because it's like, no, you just count the beans. You're just the
473
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,920
bean counter.
474
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:44,960
>> Will: You're just the bean counter.
475
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,800
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Sal deserves
476
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,200
more recognition than you.
477
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,240
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. And
478
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,000
Patty too. I mean, Patty, you know, because. Because
479
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,640
the fact, you know, she got fired as head of the
480
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600
studio. Studio. And then, you
481
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,550
know, he. Going back to the beginning where he begs her to come
482
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:07,520
on board to, you know, to help with the,
483
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,460
G. Lee movie, as a producer. And,
484
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:13,420
you know, she, you know, they have that whole conversation. This is like, you
485
00:23:13,420 --> 00:23:16,420
know, you know, she can, you know, because she is
486
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:19,020
the, the producer and the
487
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:21,860
creative, you know, not she, you know,
488
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:24,540
she can go up on the stage and, and with the rest of the
489
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:27,430
folks. But, you know, but to your point, I mean, the
490
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:30,430
bean counter and, and. And so, and so, of course, going Back
491
00:23:30,430 --> 00:23:33,120
to the comment that he and Sarandos has.
492
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:36,000
It's like, you know, you know, Sarandos is like, looks at him kind of incredulous.
493
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Like, what do you mean? You're, you're part of the.
494
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,640
You're, you're, you're, you're, you know, you're an artist. He's like,
495
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,760
really, dude, You're a bean counter. Yeah, no, just don't blur.
496
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,720
>> Sarah : Yeah, right, right. I think it's
497
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440
also more like
498
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,120
like the old, old dog being like, oh
499
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,520
boy, you, you have no idea.
500
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:59,660
You, you don't. You haven't figured it out yet
501
00:23:59,740 --> 00:24:02,420
that like we're,
502
00:24:02,420 --> 00:24:05,340
we're, we're. We're not, we're
503
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:07,900
not fully in this circle. It's,
504
00:24:08,060 --> 00:24:10,540
it's just an interesting thing considering.
505
00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:14,690
this is a kind of a
506
00:24:14,690 --> 00:24:16,850
documentary style
507
00:24:17,410 --> 00:24:19,490
type show or work
508
00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:22,690
workplace scenarios show
509
00:24:22,930 --> 00:24:25,570
that is centered around filmmaking. And yet
510
00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:28,900
the, the characters, the, the staff who we
511
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,220
are following, they're not the artists.
512
00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:33,700
They're not the actors, directors,
513
00:24:34,530 --> 00:24:37,410
or even writers. They're, they're the,
514
00:24:37,730 --> 00:24:40,210
the producers who
515
00:24:41,170 --> 00:24:43,680
do very is. It's very hard to
516
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,360
describe what actually is their
517
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,450
their job, what they're responsible
518
00:24:49,450 --> 00:24:49,850
for.
519
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:53,180
>> Will: I mean, yeah, you have Matt, the executive who like
520
00:24:53,180 --> 00:24:55,980
picture, you know, is that this
521
00:24:55,980 --> 00:24:58,580
bean counter, you know, the big, the picture of
522
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:01,540
Patty, you know, the, the studio, you know, she's, she's a
523
00:25:01,540 --> 00:25:04,420
producer. So you know, so yeah, it's making sure that the production
524
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:07,220
runs on time and, and you know, acquiring,
525
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:09,300
helping to acquire the talent and
526
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,680
you know.
527
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,480
>> Sarah : Well, yeah, but she's not also casting
528
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,560
director either.
529
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,680
>> Will: No, no, no.
530
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,400
>> Sarah : But like, like producers,
531
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,400
they, they do a little.
532
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:24,900
Understand, but they also like, it
533
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,860
varies and then you have executive producers and
534
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:30,700
then at the end of the day they're just the people
535
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:33,660
who end up putting money forward to fund the project.
536
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:35,100
>> Will: Right, right.
537
00:25:35,340 --> 00:25:37,980
>> Sarah : Yeah, exactly. So they're, they're the,
538
00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:40,940
the AMEX card. The, the
539
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:43,740
other thing about this episode that I
540
00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:46,380
find and I, of course I'm saying this as
541
00:25:46,380 --> 00:25:49,140
Zoe Kravitz appears in three, all
542
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:51,710
three of these episodes. It's an
543
00:25:51,710 --> 00:25:52,870
ongoing thing.
544
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,480
I noticed that if you think about it,
545
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,440
over the course of this season he,
546
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,880
Seth has pulled in more director
547
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,320
talent than any other
548
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,440
like any other like actors
549
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,200
or, or even when he brings in actors
550
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
like Olivia Wilde or even Zoe Kravitz, who
551
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,930
directed her first movie last year year with Blink
552
00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:22,830
Twice. She like there, there are
553
00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:25,670
also actors and actresses who have directed before.
554
00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:28,450
I mean Zach, Zac
555
00:26:28,450 --> 00:26:29,690
Efron and
556
00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:35,100
the, The Franco brother who. I'm blanking.
557
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:39,420
I was gonna say Dan for some reason, but Dave
558
00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:42,420
Franco. Those two make sense because
559
00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:44,780
of their relationships with Seth Rogen.
560
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:48,590
Clearly photo friendly, but
561
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:50,390
I, I find that. And,
562
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:53,920
and am I right that, did
563
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,400
Seth direct more of these
564
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,840
episodes than actually write these episodes?
565
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,200
>> Will: So he and his partner Evan was Elvin
566
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,920
Goldberg. I think it's. Yeah, so they,
567
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:09,120
I think, I think they split duties. I think
568
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:12,120
Evan really did a lot of the writing over the course of the
569
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,790
season. To go back and look at the credits. Seth, I think
570
00:27:14,790 --> 00:27:16,990
directed some, but he was,
571
00:27:17,790 --> 00:27:20,590
I think he was more, you know, more
572
00:27:20,670 --> 00:27:22,030
in front of the camera,
573
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,280
this disco than, Than behind it. Of course,
574
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,960
obviously they're both producers on that and. But you're right,
575
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,400
it truly is like phone a friend. Because
576
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,650
not only that, but another thing that really struck me about this
577
00:27:35,650 --> 00:27:37,310
episode was, the
578
00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:42,150
cross. You know, using cross talent from other,
579
00:27:42,150 --> 00:27:45,150
Other streaming services. Like, I mean, obviously you had Adam Scott, you
580
00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:47,870
know, severance clearly there, but then, you know, you had,
581
00:27:48,270 --> 00:27:50,270
you had your boy Antony Starr,
582
00:27:51,050 --> 00:27:53,960
and, and and Aaron Morati show up.
583
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,960
You know, there's again, another Seth Rogen. Pretty show
584
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960
with the boys. But in, you know, you know, so, you know, we
585
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,900
saw that, you know, twice. We see, you know,
586
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,660
whereas in the past in the old traditional
587
00:28:05,660 --> 00:28:08,060
broadcast model, you would rarely see across
588
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:11,580
pollination between networks like this. But here,
589
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:14,390
you know, you, you do, with this, with
590
00:28:14,390 --> 00:28:17,380
this, with this show, which I, you know, which
591
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:20,380
also really just kind of, you know, stuck out to me a little bit. But you're
592
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:23,340
right also about. With the directors too, because, you know, he had Zack Snyder show
593
00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:26,340
up as well, so Quinta Brunson, I mean, it was
594
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:28,850
just like it, it truly was like, you know,
595
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:31,490
a lot of these creatives, as you, as you were saying,
596
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:34,700
have. Have worn both hats of both not only working
597
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:37,650
in front of the camera as far as acting, but also, have
598
00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:39,570
directed various projects as well.
599
00:28:40,370 --> 00:28:42,290
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah.
600
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:46,260
and then it's. It's hard with the next two
601
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:49,220
to really talk about them separately because they just go hand
602
00:28:49,220 --> 00:28:51,950
in hand. But we have, we have
603
00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:54,830
Cinemacon, which is the full setup.
604
00:28:54,930 --> 00:28:57,810
essentially, the crew is headed to Las
605
00:28:57,810 --> 00:29:00,650
Vegas for Cinemacon, where they're gonna give
606
00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:03,210
a big presentation and,
607
00:29:03,210 --> 00:29:05,690
Matt's idea about an old school
608
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:08,770
Hollywood. Hollywood, party
609
00:29:08,850 --> 00:29:11,490
go sideways. And
610
00:29:11,570 --> 00:29:13,970
he ends up getting high along with,
611
00:29:15,090 --> 00:29:17,490
Zoe Kravitz and, and,
612
00:29:17,730 --> 00:29:20,690
yeah, and, and pretty much the
613
00:29:20,690 --> 00:29:23,570
entire crew. And then
614
00:29:23,730 --> 00:29:26,570
that leads to the presentation which
615
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:28,850
is where, when they actually give their
616
00:29:29,250 --> 00:29:32,220
presentation, at Cinemacon. What,
617
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:35,100
what I didn't understand is like you guys had
618
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:37,100
a 7:30 call time.
619
00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:40,660
Yeah, like, like
620
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:43,660
and then you're in a party. I, I, I didn't
621
00:29:43,660 --> 00:29:45,820
understand the logistics about that.
622
00:29:47,380 --> 00:29:50,260
but yeah, it's just,
623
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:54,060
I don't know. I, I still have to figure out
624
00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:56,940
what my gripes are and why these
625
00:29:56,940 --> 00:29:59,140
two episodes, it just felt long.
626
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:03,180
It felt long and tired for
627
00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:03,460
me.
628
00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:07,020
>> Will: Well, I, I, you know, I, the bit
629
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:10,050
with the shrooms wore very thin for me
630
00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:13,050
after a while. Yeah, I think that was my biggest,
631
00:30:13,050 --> 00:30:16,010
I mean the whole Cinemacon stuff. I mean, you know,
632
00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:19,050
I've said this before about this, about the studio
633
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:21,970
and especially, you know, you and I both list, as I
634
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:24,880
said before and I'll I'll just repeat it real quick. You know, you know, I listen
635
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,240
to entertainment podcasts in this space.
636
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,880
You know, kind of funny. You know, Rocha
637
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,720
and Snyder and Kristian, all, you know, all these
638
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,240
talking, his campia, all these folks talk about
639
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920
CinemaCon. So it was kind of, you know, so for,
640
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,120
so was interesting. And I was
641
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,970
listening to the Ringer, tv. They,
642
00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:47,850
you know, they had Matt Baloney who, who was,
643
00:30:47,850 --> 00:30:50,690
who, who hosts the talk, the Talk podcast.
644
00:30:50,690 --> 00:30:53,450
Who's that? You know, he was an actual, he's an actual entertainment
645
00:30:53,450 --> 00:30:56,170
reporter who actually appeared in, in, you know, they
646
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:58,810
had him voice a couple
647
00:30:59,130 --> 00:31:02,090
his things during the season and then he actually
648
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:04,810
showed up in these, in this episode because they're trying to keep
649
00:31:04,810 --> 00:31:07,810
guilt, you know, keep Griffith, away from him. But
650
00:31:08,690 --> 00:31:11,650
they were just talking about how in many ways this was
651
00:31:11,650 --> 00:31:14,530
kind of a peek behind the curtain for CinemaCon because you know
652
00:31:14,530 --> 00:31:17,090
we've all heard about, because we, you know, we listen to these
653
00:31:17,090 --> 00:31:19,850
podcasts and these things we've heard about Cinemacon
654
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:22,849
and you know, you know, the footage to get shown
655
00:31:22,849 --> 00:31:25,730
there and stuff and reactions to it and all that. So,
656
00:31:25,810 --> 00:31:28,610
you know, so from that standpoint, I did like the episodes
657
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:31,490
because I felt like it was kind of a peek behind the curtain
658
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:34,490
as far as a compressed version of what happens there as far as
659
00:31:34,490 --> 00:31:37,250
like, you know, as far as the presentation aspect of it. I don't know about the
660
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:40,130
parties and all that, but you know, the, the, the actual
661
00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:43,090
presentation that, that Maya put on and
662
00:31:43,090 --> 00:31:46,050
that in the execs that where they were like planning
663
00:31:46,050 --> 00:31:48,810
to, you know, to, to roll out the slate
664
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:52,050
of films that the studio had, you know, I,
665
00:31:52,050 --> 00:31:55,050
I did get a sort of flavor like. Oh yeah, I read all about this. So I
666
00:31:55,050 --> 00:31:57,530
think, you know, so if that's how it is, because
667
00:31:57,530 --> 00:31:59,980
Cinemacon is, you know, where the,
668
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:03,140
you know, the studio showed to the motion
669
00:32:03,140 --> 00:32:06,060
picture trade association, the theaters, I should say
670
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:09,020
movie theaters association, where they, you know, preview
671
00:32:09,020 --> 00:32:11,780
the films for the year. So, you know, so I did like that
672
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:12,780
aspect of the episode.
673
00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:16,060
>> Sarah : Yeah, I. I'm right there with you. Where
674
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:18,780
I, I like the, the
675
00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:20,700
concept of it, but
676
00:32:21,820 --> 00:32:24,260
the shrooms of it all. And then the
677
00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:26,910
Griffin part where.
678
00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:29,790
And I love Bryan Cranston. I just. I was
679
00:32:29,790 --> 00:32:32,550
like, not. Not in on
680
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:35,390
this gag that would never end, and.
681
00:32:35,790 --> 00:32:38,270
And we knew that they would pull it off. And I,
682
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:41,150
I. I don't know. I kind of.
683
00:32:43,070 --> 00:32:45,470
I kind of feel like what was also
684
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:48,190
missing was
685
00:32:50,350 --> 00:32:53,180
it can't m. I don't know how
686
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:56,140
you're gonna feel about this comparison, but I'm gonna throw it out here.
687
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:57,180
>> Will: Yeah, go ahead.
688
00:32:57,260 --> 00:33:00,140
>> Sarah : Honestly, looking back on it,
689
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:03,300
I think my feelings are just all a little
690
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,900
ambiguous because it reminds me about
691
00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:07,420
the Bear season three.
692
00:33:08,540 --> 00:33:10,980
>> Will: That's good. Yeah, that's a very good call. Very good
693
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:11,580
comparison.
694
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,860
>> Sarah : It's hard to see, like, okay, well,
695
00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:17,660
now we're at the end, and we have this big, like,
696
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:20,790
technically, part one and part two finale.
697
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:23,910
And yet what has Matt learned?
698
00:33:24,390 --> 00:33:27,110
Like, what has the arc been? And
699
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:29,830
granted, this is season one, so it's more about
700
00:33:29,910 --> 00:33:32,630
all of these characters and really for us to
701
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:35,270
understand what's going on. But
702
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:39,710
I. I still feel like he thinks he's a bit more of
703
00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:42,310
an artist than he should. Yeah,
704
00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:46,630
I. I don't. I don't know what overall
705
00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:48,320
his, arc is.
706
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,600
>> Will: Yeah.
707
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,120
>> Sarah : And. And that's why it kind of felt
708
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,000
unsatisfying of how they ended it. It's just
709
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,480
because, like, he had this good
710
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,240
speech. He talks at the. In
711
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,080
episode nine, at the beginning with his mom and
712
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,880
about his loneliness a little bit. And
713
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,560
then during the presentation, he
714
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,170
acknowledges, like, like,
715
00:34:11,170 --> 00:34:13,970
his friends and these people he surrounded
716
00:34:14,130 --> 00:34:16,530
with him, himself with
717
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:19,490
are like, the true loves of his life.
718
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:22,770
Not. Not just movies, but I.
719
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:25,610
I don't know. It just. It didn't land the way I
720
00:34:25,610 --> 00:34:27,730
needed it to. And I think also
721
00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:31,610
over the course of this season, for it
722
00:34:31,610 --> 00:34:34,370
being a comedy and these days,
723
00:34:34,690 --> 00:34:37,450
especially with the streaming ones, I mean, to bring up the
724
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:39,740
bear again, you.
725
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:43,300
Comedies are good not just because
726
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:46,300
they're able to get you to laugh,
727
00:34:47,180 --> 00:34:50,100
but they also have the tendency to
728
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:52,940
every now and then give
729
00:34:52,940 --> 00:34:55,660
you a sad clown and.
730
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:58,740
And really hit you with a
731
00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:01,660
big dramatic moment. That. That
732
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,260
is like a gut punch. Now, maybe
733
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:06,980
that's, like. Maybe I'm thinking about long
734
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:09,900
term comedies where they pull out those kind of things
735
00:35:09,980 --> 00:35:12,140
in seasons two or three.
736
00:35:12,940 --> 00:35:14,780
But at the same time,
737
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:17,900
I don't know, I feel like this show
738
00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:20,940
mechanically has a lot going for it,
739
00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:24,380
but subsequently,
740
00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:28,130
it's lacking a bit in terms of
741
00:35:28,130 --> 00:35:30,730
like, okay, well, I went on this ride.
742
00:35:31,210 --> 00:35:33,210
I don't really know where I ended up though.
743
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:36,730
>> Will: Yeah, well, yeah, you know, it's,
744
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:39,730
it's interesting, interesting that you say that because, you
745
00:35:39,730 --> 00:35:42,600
know, when I look back on this, on this show, and
746
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,440
maybe as part, you know, part where you're talking about
747
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,440
like an arc or journey or, or
748
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,400
whatever. On
749
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,160
the one hand, I felt like in many ways this,
750
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,400
this, this, this first season was very
751
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,170
episodic where there was
752
00:35:59,170 --> 00:36:02,090
no like you know, to, you know, you're, you're saying like,
753
00:36:02,090 --> 00:36:04,530
you know, where was the growth or where was the
754
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:07,170
evolution or those kind of things. You know,
755
00:36:07,650 --> 00:36:10,410
to me it was like each. Even
756
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:13,249
though they were like. Because, you know, whenever
757
00:36:13,249 --> 00:36:16,130
we first started watching it, like with the Kool Aid film,
758
00:36:16,450 --> 00:36:18,770
you know, it wasn't like they, it was a
759
00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:21,570
serialized. We, you know, we
760
00:36:21,570 --> 00:36:24,490
start from the casting and then we go to this and we
761
00:36:24,490 --> 00:36:27,450
go to that. It wasn't like, you know, every episode
762
00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:30,170
had its own like sort of standalone story. Yeah, there's like the
763
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:32,770
bigger issues going on with the studio behind it,
764
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:35,850
you know, but you know, it
765
00:36:35,850 --> 00:36:38,810
wasn't until like really the. These last three where
766
00:36:38,810 --> 00:36:41,610
it was sort of like, okay, yeah, we're pulling, you know, all these little things that happen
767
00:36:41,610 --> 00:36:44,450
throughout the season. Now we're going to pull it together. And then we had this two part
768
00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:46,850
finale that felt like a kind of a
769
00:36:46,850 --> 00:36:49,820
serialized story. so it, you know, so it
770
00:36:49,820 --> 00:36:52,670
felt like for, for me it was kind of like all of a sudden it
771
00:36:52,670 --> 00:36:55,470
felt like it was like a, like a, A hard pivot
772
00:36:55,470 --> 00:36:58,430
from like episodic to like, almost to like. Oh yeah, we,
773
00:36:58,430 --> 00:37:01,310
we did have this sort of through line throughout the season as far as
774
00:37:01,310 --> 00:37:04,110
not through line, but we did have these underlying stories and they just
775
00:37:04,270 --> 00:37:07,230
all kind of wrapped them up in a little bow here at the end with
776
00:37:07,230 --> 00:37:09,230
the Cinemacon and the presentation.
777
00:37:09,790 --> 00:37:12,750
>> Sarah : Well, I don't even know if it's,
778
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,040
because. Okay, one of the better episodes
779
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,880
of the season is the, the war,
780
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,360
okay, between Sal and
781
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,400
Emma. and
782
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,200
I got her name right, right?
783
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,410
>> Will: S. And Quinn.
784
00:37:30,809 --> 00:37:33,690
>> Sarah : Quinn. Quinn. Sal and Quinn.
785
00:37:33,930 --> 00:37:36,850
Yeah, they. And. And yet when I
786
00:37:36,850 --> 00:37:39,610
think about it, it's like,
787
00:37:39,770 --> 00:37:42,650
okay, so we never, like that was episode five. We
788
00:37:42,650 --> 00:37:44,890
never circled back to them. I still don.
789
00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:48,310
>> Will: Was like Episodic. It was just like.
790
00:37:48,790 --> 00:37:51,510
>> Sarah : Yeah, it's, but, but what I was, what I was getting
791
00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:54,150
at is like even the, when you say
792
00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:56,310
stories like wrapped in together,
793
00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:59,990
I, I just look at them all as callbacks, like
794
00:37:59,990 --> 00:38:02,670
call back to this movie. Because of course it's a
795
00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:05,110
studio. Like we're, they're doing
796
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:08,390
so many different projects that are all at different states in
797
00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:11,110
production that you're gonna get.
798
00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:13,910
I thought it was a clip, clever thing to do
799
00:38:14,310 --> 00:38:17,310
to sprinkle in like those names and
800
00:38:17,310 --> 00:38:20,230
then bring them out as like
801
00:38:20,230 --> 00:38:22,990
this is our new slate of, of films.
802
00:38:22,990 --> 00:38:25,830
Us knowing like where, where
803
00:38:25,830 --> 00:38:28,629
they are in production. I mean Black Wing hasn't even
804
00:38:28,629 --> 00:38:31,510
filmed. It's just like this is the announcement
805
00:38:33,590 --> 00:38:36,270
but it's still character wise,
806
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:39,040
like not even putting Matt out of the
807
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,010
picture. All of the characters, the ensemble
808
00:38:42,650 --> 00:38:45,450
didn't really have a, a clear arc
809
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:48,740
either. So that's
810
00:38:49,220 --> 00:38:52,180
looking at season two. That's something
811
00:38:52,820 --> 00:38:55,780
that I hope that they develop more of.
812
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,760
especially with Matt and now that
813
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,520
they've established the team, the
814
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,140
workplace, what Continental
815
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:08,060
is, I, I
816
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:10,020
just, I, I want to see
817
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,280
more, more of an arc.
818
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,560
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I mean, yeah, I mean I
819
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,320
think the other thing too is this,
820
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,920
you know, the,
821
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,560
you know, will they follow up? For example, like, you
822
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,440
know, one of the big things they dropped in this episode was
823
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,230
the whole issue of the studio possibly
824
00:39:31,230 --> 00:39:34,190
being bought by, you know, by a tech company which is kind
825
00:39:34,190 --> 00:39:37,070
of, you know, again another meta reference given that the show
826
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:39,960
is airing on a tech company. But you know,
827
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,919
platform but you know, but you know, well
828
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,360
those are some of those like
829
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,520
you know, we'll, you know, to see what the, see what the fallout
830
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,760
like you said from and when I think
831
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,510
about it too, it's like, okay, what's, you dropped this big
832
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:58,350
bombshell that like you're trying to hide
833
00:39:58,350 --> 00:40:00,990
that you know, they're trying to keep the
834
00:40:01,310 --> 00:40:04,270
you know, Matt baloney from like finding out that Amazon
835
00:40:04,830 --> 00:40:07,310
or was was thinking about buying Continental.
836
00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:10,820
>> Will: And you know, will they follow up on that? And you
837
00:40:10,820 --> 00:40:13,620
know, you know, because it seemed,
838
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:16,420
you know, that it seemed like the presentation went
839
00:40:16,420 --> 00:40:19,320
really, really well and. Yeah. And so
840
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,320
will they follow up on those kind of things? And you know, like you said, some
841
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,200
of the callbacks to some of the earlier stories, will those
842
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,200
things start getting pulled forward or, or were they
843
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,760
truly just one offs that that
844
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,880
happened and we just won't reference them again?
845
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,240
>> Sarah : Right, right. I, I, I think they'll follow
846
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:39,240
up. From what I've seen I don't
847
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,760
know how they're going to do it though. And
848
00:40:43,930 --> 00:40:45,530
I had a thought and I lost it.
849
00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:49,530
I hate when that happens. But,
850
00:40:49,850 --> 00:40:52,570
but I think, I think they, they have some,
851
00:40:52,570 --> 00:40:54,570
some good, good follow through.
852
00:40:54,890 --> 00:40:55,370
>> Will: Yeah.
853
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:55,930
>> Sarah : Yeah.
854
00:40:56,730 --> 00:40:59,690
>> Will: Yeah. I mean, one thing that did to you as far
855
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:01,850
as like, stories and just
856
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,200
We'll think it back to episode eight with the Golden
857
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,120
Globes was Matt and Patty's conversation about like, when
858
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,760
she was crying in the car. And I did like
859
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,920
how they did, you know, show
860
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,850
that kind of low. that was, I guess if there was
861
00:41:16,850 --> 00:41:19,730
like a lowest point for like Matt in the season, that was probably
862
00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:22,490
it. You know, whenever he was, you know, he leaves the
863
00:41:22,490 --> 00:41:25,010
award show and, and then of course,
864
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:28,010
you know, with the, with the presentation at the end
865
00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:30,850
there and there, you know, he's bailing out Griffith
866
00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:34,090
after he like, you know, uses the Kool Aid rig to
867
00:41:34,090 --> 00:41:36,970
come down and stumped there on the, on
868
00:41:36,970 --> 00:41:39,840
the, with the teleprompter or movies, you know, that. That was
869
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,720
sort of like that celebratory moment that. So I, I
870
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:45,720
like the way that the season ended, especially when you had that
871
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,680
earlier low that he had was he was just, you know,
872
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,400
alone in his limo just, just, Just crying away.
873
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,160
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Or after,
874
00:41:56,130 --> 00:41:57,090
Ron Howard.
875
00:41:58,050 --> 00:41:58,530
>> Will: Yeah.
876
00:41:58,610 --> 00:42:00,050
>> Sarah : Verbally assaulted him.
877
00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:01,010
>> Will: Yeah.
878
00:42:01,810 --> 00:42:04,050
>> Sarah : Or. Or after he
879
00:42:04,910 --> 00:42:06,910
leaves the charity event in a,
880
00:42:07,570 --> 00:42:10,530
>> Will: Oh, ambulance. Yeah, that was pretty. Yeah. He says he's had some pretty
881
00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:13,250
low moments. Come to think of it, now I feel like.
882
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:15,930
>> Sarah : I feel like every, A lot of the episodes end with
883
00:42:15,930 --> 00:42:18,810
Matt alone and in a bad
884
00:42:18,810 --> 00:42:21,810
situation mentally, physically. You
885
00:42:21,810 --> 00:42:22,130
know.
886
00:42:27,730 --> 00:42:30,210
>> Will: He had his triumphant at Cinemacon.
887
00:42:31,220 --> 00:42:34,060
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah, he definitely had a, had a
888
00:42:34,060 --> 00:42:36,340
moment of triumph then. And
889
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:39,470
that, that's really, Now that I have
890
00:42:39,470 --> 00:42:42,310
my thought back, is that something. That's something
891
00:42:42,310 --> 00:42:44,510
that bothered me is
892
00:42:45,550 --> 00:42:47,710
okay, they, they find out
893
00:42:48,430 --> 00:42:51,190
that there's an offer for
894
00:42:51,190 --> 00:42:53,630
Amazon to buy the Continental
895
00:42:53,870 --> 00:42:56,030
Studio. And,
896
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,600
and so then they think, but if we deliver a
897
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,360
good presentation, that
898
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,080
deal will, will be done.
899
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,020
I, I don't understand that logic.
900
00:43:09,020 --> 00:43:11,820
>> Will: No. So. No. So no, if it,
901
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:14,700
if it had flopped. So
902
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:16,500
that their idea is that.
903
00:43:17,380 --> 00:43:20,340
>> Sarah : Right, right. Like that if it had
904
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:22,900
flopped, then that deal would be done.
905
00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:26,790
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, they're. Yeah.
906
00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:28,430
Well, I think the biggest thing is they, they.
907
00:43:28,430 --> 00:43:30,590
>> Sarah : I guess they didn't want to be bought by,
908
00:43:31,150 --> 00:43:33,470
by Amazon, right?
909
00:43:33,470 --> 00:43:36,470
>> Will: Well, yeah, they wanted. Well, I think, I think that they're trying
910
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:39,070
to basically show that this studio is still.
911
00:43:39,230 --> 00:43:42,040
Still relevant. So, that it
912
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640
just, I guess if it goes off
913
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:47,560
successfully, the value of the. Of the studio
914
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,490
becomes so high that, you know, that the tech company is just going
915
00:43:50,490 --> 00:43:53,490
to be like, scared off from buying it and they save their jobs
916
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:56,370
because if they get bought up, they get bought out, obviously they're
917
00:43:56,370 --> 00:43:59,370
all, you know, they're all gonna get like, you know, eliminated.
918
00:43:59,370 --> 00:43:59,690
So.
919
00:43:59,930 --> 00:44:02,890
>> Sarah : Okay, I. That. That's a little bit better.
920
00:44:04,650 --> 00:44:07,490
>> Will: It's like, it's like. Yeah, it's like all the Paramount stuff
921
00:44:07,490 --> 00:44:10,450
that's going on with Skydance, you know, it's just. It's paralleling a lot
922
00:44:10,450 --> 00:44:12,250
of the things that are happening.
923
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:14,810
>> Sarah : I understand what it's. What it's paralleling.
924
00:44:15,370 --> 00:44:17,290
I just don't know if
925
00:44:18,090 --> 00:44:20,450
the projects that they were
926
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:22,850
promoting was enough for like, the
927
00:44:22,850 --> 00:44:25,650
Continental. But I also don't have a
928
00:44:25,650 --> 00:44:28,570
good sense of like, what the Continentals
929
00:44:28,810 --> 00:44:30,650
worth was at the start
930
00:44:31,530 --> 00:44:34,490
of the. The season either, if, you
931
00:44:34,490 --> 00:44:34,730
know.
932
00:44:34,810 --> 00:44:37,730
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it
933
00:44:37,730 --> 00:44:38,010
was,
934
00:44:40,620 --> 00:44:43,220
I think it was sort of. It was sort of in flux, to be
935
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:46,000
honest. you know, because it seemed like
936
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,640
it, you know, I guess
937
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,960
it was sort of like. I guess like Paramount, you know, they
938
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,760
have these big tent pole, you know, they have these big splashy things,
939
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,010
like, you know, Top Gun and a couple other films
940
00:44:58,010 --> 00:44:59,410
in our. In our universe.
941
00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:04,690
and, you know, it goes back to old legacy Hollywood because, you
942
00:45:04,690 --> 00:45:07,430
know, they still have their old, you know, they still had their big,
943
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:10,470
you know, production lot and everything like that.
944
00:45:12,570 --> 00:45:15,370
but Griffin was able to, like, you know, he. I guess he was a venture
945
00:45:15,370 --> 00:45:18,010
capitalist or something like that, and he was able to like, you know,
946
00:45:18,010 --> 00:45:20,930
acquire them, print on the cheap. So they were just. He was
947
00:45:20,930 --> 00:45:22,970
just trying to make it a very profitable company.
948
00:45:24,330 --> 00:45:27,130
Yeah, yeah. So I think the idea
949
00:45:27,130 --> 00:45:29,930
was, you know, if they, you know, with. With the slate of
950
00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:32,800
films, they'll just be. They can like, push back
951
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,040
on the narrative that they're just limping along that, you
952
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,000
know, a big predator like Amazon can just come
953
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,560
in and like, just take them over. Like. Like what happened with
954
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,160
mgm.
955
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:44,880
>> Sarah : Right, right, yeah.
956
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,600
>> Will: Right, yeah.
957
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:49,700
>> Sarah : well. Well, that is a wrap on the
958
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:52,170
studio Season one. a good
959
00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:55,650
