Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:00

But Topher. Topher Mac. Why shadows? Why shadows that shine? I don't get the title. Maybe it's a little too esoteric.

SPEAKER_01 0:17

Alright, look. Let me let me let me say it this way. Shadows is a synonym for movies. Alright, that's not the only meaning I applied to it in this show, but that is the primary meaning.

SPEAKER_02 0:33

But that doesn't make any sense, Tover.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

Alright, hear me out. What do you think movies are? Like, really think technically speaking, what are movies? Movies are in a movie theater in a cinema. It is light being projected from a machine and reflecting from a blanket, from a white or silver blanket. Okay. It is pretty much a shadow. You're watching shadows flickering. Goes way, way back even to when, like cavemen telling stories by the campfire. Like, I mean, it's this long, long history of telling stories. Telling stories. And shadows are another fancy, artsy way of saying movies. At least that's what I think. And I'm not the first person to say it. There are very successful uh people in the entertainment business that have said the same thing.

Hi.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

I'm Topher Mac. And this might be a weird episode because I'm in a weird place in life right now. Um, but I wanted to meet my deadline. And it so every Wednesday morning we like to drop a new episode of Shadows That Shine, a movie podcast. And I am Topher Mac, your host. And so we are throwing something together. I had some stuff I wanted to talk about, about movies, and so I said let's throw it all into a blender here and let's have a chitty chat. We're gonna chitty chat, uh, we're gonna have a miscellaneous movie episode, and we're gonna talk about some of what's been going on, and I hope that you all enjoy. Uh, but before we do that, let's take a little break, come back in a moment, and maybe look at getting into the box office. Alrighty then, we're back. I'm still toe from Mac. And uh let's get to it. Cush Pla. Look, uh, I don't know how we feel about these new mics. This is gonna be the second episode in a row I use these new mics that I have. And if you are wanting to give feedback, you can go uh on Instagram at Shadows That Shine, or you can go uh search us in Facebook, Shadows That Shine, and and give us some feedback. Let us know, hey man, those mics getting on my nerves because of this or that. Because we'll make some changes, we'll figure this out. Um but you know I'm I'm trying not to use just my phone mic. And I have a couple of different options when it comes to microphones. This is a wireless mic that I got. Uh I also have wired mics that I might consider using at some point. We're still testing and figuring out what works best for the pod. The pod. And yeah, so here we go. Shadows, the shine, a movie podcast, and I've said that already. We're gonna get into the a book's office.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

Um hold please.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

Okay, we we don't need to hold. We're just gonna get into this box office. All right, here's what we're looking at. This is the box office resorts from March 20th to 22nd. Who won the box office? Well, this is where it gets really exciting. We actually had some like activity of the olden days. Um, our box office has gone up since last week. 79.3% over. And how did it do that? What got fans excited? A movie called Project Hell Mary brought in $80.6 million. That's Amazon MGM Studios, who uh you may know as the people that own the James Bond franchise. And so they they had a very successful opening uh weekend. In fact, their opening weekend is the second highest opening weekend ever attached to a movie that was not part of a franchise, beat only by Oppenheimer. And that makes sense because those are both incredible movies. I went, I saw Project Hell Mary. We'll get into that later. Alright, what did it do internationally? It brought in 60.4 million dollars for a total of 141 million. Project Hail Mary is a breath of fresh air to the business side. It gives me hope. Where in a at a time in my life where there is not a lot of hope, there is a little bit of hope when a movie like Project Hell Mary comes along. Okay. Second place was Hoppers, who put $18 million more into Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures pockets, bringing their domestic total to 120.4 million, 122.2 international for a total of 242.6 million dollars. Hey man, that means that it is the highest grossing film released this year so far. Mm-hmm. That's correct. Um, hey, so like I know some people like to fast forward through this part of the show. Um, I'm gonna talk about number three a little bit because I never heard of it, and I was really uh quite surprised that it popped up. I'm not gonna be able to say this right. It is, I think, pronounced Durandar, The Revenge. It brought in $13.5 million from uh for Moviegoers Entertainment. Um, when I went to gather information on this film, uh, because I had never heard of it and I didn't see any advertising for it, and I was absolutely shocked that it was the number three movie in the country, especially on a weekend where uh Ready or Not 2 came out. Um, yeah, I I was baffled by this. So I had to look, and apparently it is a Bollywood film. Now, much like my uh lack of appreciation for anime, I don't uh care for Bollywood films either. Something about them just don't work for me. All right. Um, I like foreign cinema, but there's just something about Bollywood films that doesn't hit quite right with me. Um I think I've maybe what uh I maybe liked one Bollywood film ever. I didn't know what it was called. I watched it 20 years ago. I barely, I don't even think I remember the plot of it, to be honest with you. Um, but everything else I've tried to watch, I just don't like. It's like a checklist of things I don't like in movies. Um I was confused by this, and I said, hey, maybe, maybe it's time to give uh Bollywood films another chance. So I looked at a trailer for it, and um it's an action film, and it is uh not my cup of tea. It it continues to not be something I'm about. First of all, the movie is four hours long, so the fact that it made $13.5 million in America is impressive. Uh that means a lot of people showed up, but the weird thing is, is nobody I know is talking about this movie. Like no actual human beings I know are talking about this movie, which makes me go, huh? What's going on with that? Maybe uh maybe it's because it's not a strong Indian population in my area. However, um one of my uh sources of income is I I drive for delivery services. So I spend a lot of time in gas stations, and I um I I understand how this is gonna come off, but it is the truth. There are a lot of people in my area that own and operate uh gas stations that are of the Indian Peninsula consent uh uh can consent. What the fuck am I saying here? Oh, hey, first F word of the day. Um basically, people from India uh that I interact with, there are uh a pretty hefty amount of people in this community that I do and uh I very friendly, I like them, and they ain't said shit to me about this movie when I brought movies up to them. Um so I'm kind of baffled. Well, how is this movie made money? Is the point of why I'm going on and on. Now it is the second part of a film, it's it's part of what's called a duology, uh, which is when two movies are meant to be uh paired together, and it is the final chapter of that duology. Um and I I don't I don't understand how it has made this money. There it was also very difficult to get official numbers of world life uh world like international release numbers because of how Bollywood stays so separate from everyone else. Like there's not a lot of bleed over between the subcontinent of Asia and the rest of the world when it comes to our sources of entertainment, and um yeah, maybe one day I can get uh an Indian entertainment expert to come in here or an Indian culture person to come in and sit with me because I'd be fascinated to learn what they know about that and maybe do a deep dive on Bollywood. Um because just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's not important and doesn't mean it doesn't offer uh great things to this world. I've heard from some of my friends who are really into it that they just love the exaggerated nature of that kind of cinema. Um doesn't do it for me, but I'm glad that they like it. Uh ready or not to fourth place this week. Here I come. Ha ha. But you know who didn't come? Audiences. It only made 9.1 million for Searchlight Pictures. Um, well, that was domestically, because internationally it brought in 2.8 for a total of $11.9 million. Um I'm gonna talk about this movie a little bit later. I have not seen it, uh, but I am gonna talk about it for a different reason. Let's do a scream spiriler. Uh fifth place, reminders of him. That's that sweet sentimental story from Universal Pictures. Um, and it's heavy in the drama. It's hanging in there because it brought in $8 million more to bring its domestic total to 33.2 million. Uh inner and uh internationally that it's brought in 20.8 so far for a total of $54 million. I mean, hey, good for them. Also, right now, I'm very fond of Universal Pictures because they're extending the um the window. They're extending the exhibition window. I think that it's silly that it's a month. A lot of people I know uh that are casual movie uh consumers have said, Oh, I want to go see Iron Lung. And I'm like, well, good luck. I do too, but you can't see it in a movie theater because guess what? It's been out of the movie theater for weeks unless you're in a major market. And I'm talking New York, LA, Chicago, maybe. Um, and I don't even think it's barely there. Um the theatrical windows need to be higher open. All right. Uh, where are we at? That would be uh our box office, bringing our total box office gross this weekend to 140.7 million dollars. That's the official number that they gave out. Uh, like I said, up almost 80% from the last weekend, which is good news. This industry needs more of that. Give us more and more and more. Yeah, we're gonna rev up for the the summer coming up. Uh higher uh I already said that about Hopper's top and Scream 7 to be the highest grossing non uh non-Chinese film in the uh in the bucket. And there we go. Okay, let's try this again. Uh it looks like my microphone cut off. And so yeah. I got s anyways, I got a surprise. Here's the little surprise. I want to play a little little thing for you, real quick. Here you go.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

You're listening to Shadows That Shine, a movie podcast, starring Topher Mack. Here's your host, Topher Mac.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Yeah, isn't that fancy, huh? I want to thank John Paul Edmondson for giving me that little bumper. He gave me a few more I'm gonna sprinkle in throughout the series uh throughout the podcast, moving forward for the next little while. Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty of this, okay? I know I've been a little in the way that I'm presenting things. I apologize for that. A lot of that has to do with um it is I'm going through a lot of really tough stuff personally in my personal life that I'm not going to get into on this podcast because it's a movie podcast. But um yeah, it is affecting me. And um, while today I do not have a co-host, I am recording with some people for some I'm banking episodes for the first time so that uh my inability to consistently record with people uh can be covered up a little bit. Um yeah, no, uh so look forward to that coming up soon. Uh I also got big plans for next week. Speaking of next week, hey buddies, hey, hey, uh it's gonna be April 1st for the next release, and I am super, super torn because on one hand, I want to do a comedy, and on the other hand, um I uh am a walking talking comedy. Okay, um no, I'm torn between doing a comedy or doing something for Easter. Um I have uh I'm looking to cover Jesus Christ Superstar. It'll be the first musical that I uh do a deep dive on. Um so I'm I may or may not do that on the first. And if I don't do it on the first because I want to do a comedy because it's April 1st, if that's the case, then I'm gonna push back and do two episodes next week and have a good Friday episode as well. But you know, I don't know yet. So if you have an opinion about that, once again, Instagram, Facebook, these are two places that you can reach out and let us know what's what. We really do want to hear from you. Um, I mean, shit, if you're friends with me, text me and tell me. I uh let me know your opinion. Um, you know, it's a mom and pop shop. You can text me. What's that? You don't know me? Yeah. Yeah, you're not getting okay. I'm fucking stupid. Uh no, I'm not stupid. I'm cool. Uh I don't know. I don't know what I am. You decide what I am. It's up for y'all to decide. Why am I still talking about this? Movies! John Powell Edmonton said this is Shadows That Shine, a movie podcast, and he's right. Because we're about to talk the new V stuff. Miscellaneous movie talk. Here's where we're gonna get started. All right, I already brought it up, um, and I I gotta get into this right away. Um Project Hell Mary, Ryan Fricking Garceling. Yo, that movie was Chef's kiss. Oh, I loved it. It was so good. Um, I'm afraid to say things about it because I don't want to spoil it, and I feel like even saying reasons why I liked it would count as a spoiler if I heard them. And because I want you to go and see it, I'm not gonna spoil it for you. What I can tell you is the movie uh looks beautiful, the movie is well acted, the movie it has a lot of different elements to it, it strikes a lot of genre boxes across the board, and I I'm glad that it does. I'm glad that there's elements of comedy, drama, sci-fi, um, and more. Really. I mean, mystery. There's all kinds of like stuff going on when you watch it. So um, I super duper recommend it. I've been keeping uh on letterboxed, um I I have to look and see what our username is over there. Uh I think it's uh STS Spa uh STS Pod, if I'm not mistaken. Uh, I've been tracking movies that I'm watching for the podcast. And uh I'm rating them as I do it. And this is one of the only movies I've given a four and a half star to. Um I did give four and a half stars to the um uh to the Jordan Pill trilogy. Um, and there's some other ones. Maybe we'll get into all that stuff a little bit later. But um for now, we'll just leave it at. Movie's really good. Go see it. Alright. Now, here we go. More topics of things that I wanted to talk to you guys about. Alright, first of all, let's um I'm gonna skip down the list because I mentioned it earlier. Critics keep getting it wrong. That's what I wrote down because uh it has been brought to my attention and it's super duper accurate. Scream 7 was slam, but delivered at the box office. Ready or not 2 was praised but floundered. Okay. And it makes me wonder, you know, because it's just like for a long time I felt really confident that I knew um what's gonna get people to get uh into the theaters, and I could tell through certain metrics and measures that were available to me what movies were gonna deliver and what ones were not gonna deliver. And it seems to me at this point in the game that a lot of the trade magazines get it wrong way more often, and a lot of the telltale signs of is this movie gonna do well are getting it wrong. I mean, you heard me go on and on, on and on, sorry, uh allergies. Uh heard me go on and on about this Indian film I never heard of doing gangbusters, and there's been a few other movies earlier this year that have performed relatively strongly, although it's been a weak year for movies so far, um that I hadn't heard about. I didn't know existed. I'm a move if if I, a movie nerd, have not heard of your movie, something's wrong. You know, like I'm not subscribed to that uh person that made Iron Lung. I don't consume anything from him, but I knew Iron Lung was coming out. All right, they're doing something right in their marketing. Obviously, I knew Scream 7 was because I sort of built the podcast around making sure it was out in time to go and see it uh and review it. It was really important to me to do that. Um yeah. What I'm saying here is especially the trade magazines and the reviewers and even like the quote unquote industry experts um are getting it wrong a lot. And it makes me wonder, and I'm as somebody who uh Is moving towards being a uh information uh what do they call it? Someone who's gonna provide use gays y'all with the information. I need to be able to figure out where it's coming from. So yeah. Just wanted to mention they're getting wrong a lot. All right, you guys don't care about that shit. Let me talk about something that you might care about. Spider-Man 4. Spider-Man 4. Why am I telling you what you care about and don't care about? Whatever. Sideboard over. Spider-Man 4 trailer. Oh man, what did you think when this thing dropped? Because I'm gonna tell you what I think, and it's not the popular opinion. It's the controversial opinion. I think that I think they're watching this trailer going, this is an ugly fucking movie. How did the first three look so good and this one looks like crap? Really and truly, I don't understand how the hell is that the case? And you know, someone said to me, Hey, well, maybe it's because he's like in a darker period of his life now, and so they're going with a darker look. Well, then they should have shot it with film because they're clearly trying to copy a film look. It just looks like an Instagram filter. Um it's I don't think Brandon Day uh looks ugly. However, I am very curious about what they're gonna do with the story. Like it is interesting to me. You know. Um real quick, I just want to check something uh say things, say thing, say thing. There we go. I got my answer. Um it's a different director. And it was the director of Shang Chi. And that's who's directing this. I don't um I don't know, man. It makes me real nervous because those first three in this trilogy were great. Tom Holland is my Spider-Man, okay? Everybody has their favorite Spider-Man, and if you're wondering Tom Holland is absolutely my Spider-Man. That's the one I want to see. That's the one I'm interested in. Um following the story of. I've never really been into uh I don't dislike, but I've never been into Toby McGuire's. I sort of kinda like um Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, and like most people into the Spider-Verses, uh also Chevsky. So good, so good. Alright, Spider-Man Fortress. What did you think of it though? Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Okay, because I thought it looked ugly, but maybe I'm just becoming that grouchy old man, uh, as my friend said to me earlier today. I'm the old man shaking his fist at the movie screen. Maybe that's what it is. Speaking of movie trailers, um we got uh movie trailer and the movie theaters for the back rooms. Do you know what the back rooms is? Alright, it's this it it came from this like internet thing and it's weird and the trailer looks very interesting. I'm a little bit hesitant because I feel like the YouTube videos looked better. Like this is maybe a little too glossy to work for me, but you know what? Let's see how it plays out. Uh it's a first-time director, he is an extremely young director. But he might be he might be I I'm hopeful about it. All right, and that's called the backrooms. It's coming later this year.

unknown 26:00

Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:00

Speaking of coming later this year, I saw something uh that I also want to talk about, which is they're doing a live action uh Moana. And I have not seen Moana, the animated uh thing, but I've seen little clips from it. It's a nice little cute Disney film. Here's the thing The Rock looks ridiculous in these uh photographs that have come out. Uh they've CG'd he looks like AI slot, first of all. They like fattened him up. That's clearly not his real body. Uh it's a weird choice. They should have cast like what's it uh Jason Mimosa guy. See, I'm trying to get better names for you guys. I know it's not Mimosa, but doesn't it? Doesn't he seem like a Mimosa? I don't know what I'm talking about. Um, they should have picked somebody like him, but they picked The Rock, and you know, you know that The Rock's voice is gonna be heavily auto-tuned. So everything about it is fake and it looks it looks bad. The images have come Weird Owl has made fun of the hair choice is like you know, the auditions for for the Weird Owl movie biopic sequel. Um I can't remember the way you word it, but you get the gist. Um yeah. Live action mono uh does not look like it's gonna be good. But hey, I've been wrong before. Uh I did this is not a movie thing, but it's movie adjacent enough that I think it's worth mentioning Harry Potter. They they started releasing the first official images from it. You know, there's been a lot of behind the scenes and and and people taking pictures that they weren't supposed to, but they did the first official pictures, it looks interesting. Like I think it might be good. Just I mean, visually speaking, it might be good from what I'm seeing. I like that they're making uh very grounded choices, but I I'm wondering if we're gonna end up getting the whole show because from what I'm hearing, it's so expensive. Like they're spending way more money than they were spending on the movies. So we'll see how that goes. Hopefully, you know, they I don't know, this whole merger thing is gonna really put a lot of stuff in question. Speaking of which, let's bring this merger back up, okay? Mergers inside of the business RP. Alright. I continue to say, I said it a couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna say it again right now. Hey buddy, hey buddy, Mr. US government. Would you please interfere here? All right, and would you please stop this from happening? Warner Brothers has no frickin' business merging with Paramount. It will be it will speed up the death of cinema. It will speed up the death of quality movies. All right. And then we're just gonna get a bunch of AI slot and we're gonna have a bunch of those Netflix made for TV movies uh that they keep calling, you know, their thing. I d I I don't know, man. It's it's bad news. I I said uh a lot about it before, but I did have a thought I wanted to bring up, and I just saw that the Disney uh stock price is the same it was 10 years ago. They merge with an entire studio. If you were to put Fox's uh stock price and combined it with Disney's stock price at that time, guess what? That's less than it is now. It devalued the company. It'll do the same thing for Paramount, which is a fledgling, uh barely alive company as it is. It's struggle. I mean, it's it's the king of the struggle bus. So something to I don't know, card congressman. I don't have a call to action for that. I just am upset by it. I wanted you to hear my frustration. Microphone cutoff. That was two microphones. Um hey, you know what? It's a learning process. I apologize, the sound and the rest of this thing is probably not gonna be super duper groovy. But here we are. Alright. Um, yeah, alright. So moving forward, uh after the sound problem. Problems, uh let's see, we were at um David Fincher is directing a sequel. Uh speaking of Netflix, a sequel to um man, the sound still has me so thrown off. A sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It's gonna be called uh the continued stories of what's it called? It's called The Adventures of Cliff. Cliff Booth, I believe. And it's gonna release in August, and that I'm excited about, but hey buddy, like here's part of the problem with Netflix. Speaking of that uh merger stuff, why are they not releasing this in a movie theater? Okay, you can release it in a movie theater for six weeks, make a whole bunch of money, and then put it on your platform forever. They don't seem to understand what they are, they are home media. But you're gonna have David Fincher, one of the one of the great directors of our time, make a fucking movie that's gonna not even show on a big screen?

SPEAKER_02 31:49

Ugh.

SPEAKER_01 31:50

I'm getting tired of it. Look at me over here sounding like a fucking snob. Batman 2 rumors have been circulating. And uh I hear that it's supposed to be a very different movie than the first one, and that is interesting from a storytelling thing, but it does make me worry because I loved the first The Batman movie. Um, they got Robert Patterson coming back, and they said that this one's gonna be more focused about um Batman, and that the last one was about more of like Bruce Wayne, or did I get that in reverse? Anyways, it's like supposed to like humanize him more, I guess, and the Batman stuff is supposed to be way more like badass, you know, what you expect from Batman instead of Mopy Child. That's what I've been hearing. Um I guess Harvey Dent is supposed to be in this because they already said that they've cast somebody as Harvey Dent's dad. There's some other rumors here and there about who the villains might be. Uh I don't know. I'm not gonna perpetuate that. Who needs spoilers? We know the movie's gonna be good. Can't wait for it. Hurry up and release it. Alright. Moving on, yeah. Speaking of Quentin Tarantino, uh I'm just gonna publicly say um I I was a massive Quentin Tarantino fan, and when he started running in his mouth about Matthew Lillard and uh Badwith Names, but the actor who played the Riddler and the Batman. Um yeah. Yeah, he he literally like lost me. I went from watching one of his movies every week to I haven't seen anything from him since. He has turned into everything that he said he's bothered by from older filmmakers. He's just completely out of touch. And to further highlight that, and it's the reason I wrote this on my notes to talk about today, is he has become a full uh self-fulfilling prophecy because there's no tenth film coming. He I think he knows that he's look, I don't want to be that guy. Maybe he's got another movie in him, but I think he doesn't. I think at the end of the day, the the issue is he's scared to make the final film, which is why he's running off to England to make a play. And he's been, you know, writing books and he's been doing everything he can do except what he's supposed to be doing, which is making that film and completing that um story. And perhaps, you know, at first when he first came out with like the novelized version of Once Upon a Time in in Hollywood, it was like, okay, well, that'll be that'll help you transition to your next chapter. But now he just doesn't want to end that chapter, and then he turns around and says so many out-of-touch things on this podcast of his, and he's he's you know, I mean, even when he named what he thought the best movies of the last 25 years are, there will be blood. How the fuck did he put it that low on the list? Ugh. I mean, his his entire taste came into question on that. I don't know. Whatever. Who cares? Hopefully you, because you're listening. Um vertical screen projects are starting uh to be developed by uh Google is partnering with people. Uh what's a vertical screen? Um, you know, movies, uh, cinema is a horizontal screen art form. And as uh as such, phone stuff, phone content, especially like in Rails and stuff, tend to be vertical screen. Well, I guess they're intentionally now gonna start trying to make um narrative projects for that, and they're gonna be doing like you know, some pretty big names. I know Keenan Thompson's one of the names they're gonna pair with his studio. I don't know if he's gonna be in it, but like he owns a production company, they're gonna make some stuff. I'm curious. Maybe it'll be good. Um there was a time a few years ago I would have put my nose up to that and been like movies are supposed to be on the horizontal screen. But you know, I've thought about it more, and I'm like, look. It's not about the screen, it's about the story. Are you gonna tell good stories? Now, I do love cinema, and obviously you can't uh really show something like that in a cinema, but you know, I like TV. TV's not the same thing as a cinema, it just is a different thing. Good for them. Good for them. Did I hit everything on the list? Might have. You know what I didn't hit? Um let's just go ahead and get straight into yeah, hold up, wait. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Um, there was one thing I didn't say about the merger that I really wanted to say. I had actually like wrote some stuff out, uh, short stuff right away. I said the thing about the stock and the merger. Um, all that Disney has done by merging with Fox is uh damage its prestige. Like they they aren't impressive anymore. Like, if you take away sequels from them, they're they're sequels and remakes, and they they're nothing. They're a nothing business when you do that. That's all they are, and most of the things that they've made money off of recently has been stuff they bought from other people, it's not even their creative ideas, and um it's really starting to show, and and I figured out a business equivalent to that. If, like me, you were really into pro wrestling in the 90s, if you're as old as I am, um Disney's kind of become WCW. Ooh, somebody else is doing something awesome, let's buy them up. And Paramount saw that and said, Ooh, let's do the same thing. Because let's face it, Paramount made the dumbest decision in the world by not trying to to lock in a permanent deal with Marvel when they could have before Marvel was bought up by Disney. They could have had something incredible with that. Yeah, what are you gonna do? Alright. Hey, what about what's coming up soon? That's what yeah, that's what we'll do next. Alright, coming up, March 27th, They Will Kill You is coming out, and this looks awesome. I don't know if you heard about this. Uh, I believe it's in like the horror film genre, but it kind of also looks like an action film. Um The person who played uh Dom, I think Domino's the character, the the lucky person from Deadpool 2. She's a very attractive woman in my eyes. Um she's the main actress. And she, like, I mean, this isn't all the trailers, so it's not a big spoiler. Um I haven't seen it. I won't see it until Thursday, but um she goes into work at this building in I think it's New York City, and they lock her in, and then she finds out that she's meant to be a sacrifice to the devil. And she's like, I'm sorry, you say, What? And you know, goes after. A week after that, we're gonna get Super Mario Galaxy. Now, if you listen to my Super Mario uh brothers uh movie thing that I did uh a few weeks ago, then you would know that I'm excited about this. An animated film that I'm gonna want to go watch. Who would have thunk it? Nobody, that's who. But I'll be there going, oh, look at this. This is a good time, yes. Uh so that's stuff that's coming in the immediate soon uh for you to look at and be excited about. And uh we're gonna cut this one short. You know, there's no reason to to him and her around. Uh I appreciate you guys for listening. Um I've got some more interesting shows that are about to be in the can. Uh I mean, I thought that this stuff I'm talking about is interesting. I would have liked to have talked about it with someone. Um I have some guests I haven't been able to get around to, but again, I have a lot of chaos going on in my life, and I'm literally recording this in the middle of the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. Uh so that's just the way that it's gonna transpire from time to time until this is the um main business by me. I um thank you.
