Jumanji: The Next Level

Everyone's talking about it.

Is that the one with Jumanji?

I talked about it last episode.

Huh?

Is that when Jumanji 3's coming out?

Yeah, we're, it's like we're doing...

It's like we're doing Artificial and Jumanji.

It's kind of, like, supposed to be like, it's supposed to be like Barbenheimer.

... it's streaming 'cause all this stuff gets divided up on, put on YouTube, you know, and, and they don't, they don't participate in, in the same way.

So that's $100,000, which is a very nice little kind of contribution to a pension, isn't it, that? Um, but on the other hand, Kevin Hart [laughs] the actor, comedian Kevin Hart, was talking to James Corden about how much he made out of Jumanji: The Next Level.

Now, I saw the original Jumanji.

I don't know how many other ones there have been.

There are clearly at least one other.

Yeah.

This, this all, this ties up with what I'm saying about Bon Jovi doing three Wembley stadiums 30 years after their last hit, doesn't it? You know, all the- all these things have such a long life nowadays.

Anyway, um, James Corden asks him, clearly knowing the answer, says, um, "How much did you make out of Jumanji: The Next Level?" And Kevin Hart says, "Well, I didn't ask for a lot of money up front.

Yeah, similar problem to The Rock, just smaller.

So then my third question was, why do Hollywood producers keep on hiring them? They're doing films now that are losing money and everyone's like, oh, but Jumanji 3, that one might work.

We should bring them back for Jumanji 3.

Oh, that's going to fail too.

Well, don't worry.

God, th- e- I've been stressed about this question, uh, leading up to this because I, I think there's, there's two ways you can go, right? And there's the, there's the one where you're like, "Do I, do I show them the pinnacle of cinema, or do I, uh, do something that I think would benefit society?" And then-

Do I show them Jumanji 2?

Yeah, you know-

Or [laughs]

Not in comparison to Roddy Piper.

Jumanji 2? Jumanji 2? The thing with

Roddy Piper and They Live is he wasn't Roddy Roddy Piper.

He was a character and he was good.

And then B.B. Neuwirth as Nora.

She would actually return to this character in the second, I think, with Jumanji The Next Level, which was the second of the newer Jumanji

movies.

And this episode is kind of relevant to what's going on because we're getting a new Jumanji.
