Uh, The Devil Wears Prada 2, long delay for the sequel, but it's out this weekend.

Yeah, yeah, probably a, a, a good amount of time between the first one and the second one.

Uh, yeah, it comes out this weekend.

Uh, you know, I look back, the first one only opened to, like, 27 million I think they said, which, you know, I mean, it, it wasn't, uh...

It, it just gained steam over time, and especially over the years.

And so this one, they're talking, uh, about 80 million opening weekend.

And for, uh, you know, for a movie that isn't for young people and isn't for kids and isn't...

Uh, what about Hokum, the new horror movie with Adam Scott?

Even though it's a full calendar year out.

I think, again, and let's re- let's re-rewind 'cause the Oscars don't really...

I don't know.

They don't really...

I don't really understand them anymore.

But if in a normal world, this to me was like when Tom Hanks kind of switched over a little bit from being kind of a comedy, a splash guy into, you know, into Cast Away.

One second.

Mm-hmm.

Like, what, uh, franchises or what services or what shows does that affect the most?

most?I, well, what it'll do is...

I mean, Paramount has been struggling, um, because they've been le-landing on old, you know, Mission Impossible.

Um, uh, you know, they don't have a lot of IP, um, Paramount, outs-outside of Sonic.

Um, and so what it does is it brings the Harry Potter and the DC.

All of, all of that stuff under the Warner Brothers now becomes Paramount, so they will be able to, um, to, to kind of refresh in their catalog and, uh, and be able to do some of that.

So, so people will...

But, uh, is it gonna be a big movie, and does the score matter for a horror film?

I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast Doubt: The Case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was.

No voicing of any skepticism or doubt.

It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment if this is wrong.

Like, people can't believe what they're seeing when they watch him, and you could hear that in the coverage last night from the dudes on the radio.

Yeah.

He's, he's fitting in so, so well.

Um, I think even Bill Guerin said it on... with Burrell yesterday, like, even better than he was expecting, I think better than anybody was expecting.

It, it was hard to, you know...

Yeah.

... because Five Nights at Freddy's is huge.

Um, it's that...

And most of you probably already know that if you have kids of certain age, but Five Nights at Freddy's was...

Like, they grew up with that.

Um, it's part of their culture, uh, and, uh, similar, but not similar to the Minecraft movie 'cause that was even bigger or like, or a Roblox would have been.

But, um, but yeah, it's, it's they grew up with it.

No.

Yeah.

...

I just wanna talk because it was- I- (laughs) uh, I really...

DC for a long time has been making movies and they- they've been so dark and dreary and even though they're good sometimes, sometimes not so good, but everything is grays and dark and rainy constantly.

Um, and then, uh, James Gunn came in and Superman is such a nice change to, uh, this really, really bright and colorful, um, world with lots of reds and blues and greens.

And- and that may not seem that important, but it really f- it really was so nice for me to go in and just have a blast at a DC movie.

What makes this one so good other than the- uh, the fact that James Gunn is the director?

Well, you know something, one thing...

Z, your favorite website, Rotten Tomatoes, you know, you, a lot of the time, will say like, "Sure, don't worry about the critic score, look at the audience score." Well, how about F1? 84% with the critics, 97% with the audience.

Yeah, that, that's a nice combo because sometimes, uh, uh, let me go over, when, when I first heard they were making this movie, um, my, I was immediately thinking Ford v. Ferrari, kind of was thinking it was gonna be a longer movie and kind of really a little artsy and, um, you know, really good, um, but maybe not accessible to everybody.

Um, but then I realized who the Bruckheimer is in it from the guy who did Top Gun and it act- it, they made it way more fun.

So it's a movie that's still good enough for the critics, but it's not, uh, it, it's summery, uh, enough for the, for the consumer.

So I was very, very happy with the movie.

... because the first one just crushed.

We knew about a month before it came out that it was tracking really crazy special numbers.

Perfect age range.

But is this one of those movies because kiddos don't care about the rating or the, the reviews? Is this, is this a review kind of proof film?

Yeah.

I, I was reading some of those reviews 'cause I was trying to figure out...

I, I saw it a while ago and, uh, most of the reviews, the negative reviews, if you dig into them, they're funny because they're, uh, they're complaining of the fact that they kind of did a shot-for-shot remake of the original and there's nothing new, which is weird, a weird thing to complain about.

Um, critics sometimes try too hard.

This is a movie where you sit back and it's just fun, enjoyable, um, puts kind of a smile on your face, and, and it's good.

Um, it's, you know, the, the dragons are kind of, um, uh, really cool looking.

Okay, so the second one there.

What do we like about both?

(clears throat) Yeah, well, Lilo & Stitch will be the... as far as number of people going to see it, that'll be the big one this weekend.

Uh, uh, uh, I've...

I'll tell you, f- first thing on Lilo & Stitch, I guess I wasn't super...

Somehow I missed the original movie.

N- not completely, very familiar with it, but so I wasn't able to compare the l- this live action to the original as... which some people are doing, saying, "Well, in the original, this happened." But it's, it's a really, really beautiful movie, um, and apparently it's right in that wheelhouse for the people who like Lilo & Stitch.

So the only thing I will say as a, as an adult, sometimes you go to a kids movie and you really enjoy it for yourself personally, like regardless of whether they're with kids or not.

Do you know why?

Right.

Um, and they progressively kind of, the last one kind of dropped out.

So what's cool about this one is the- the next generation, this younger generation that wasn't around for the last group, even though it was only 14 years ago-They're really familiar because it became a YouTube thing, a TikTok thing to have, like, body counts and to show all the crazy deaths that happened.

And so we're seeing a big jump up, maybe a $60 million opening-

It does.

The...

Well, here's, here's...

Well, first, in case anyone... um, this isn't a spoiler.

They gotta get it ready for the next screening, but, uh, the place gets trashed every time because of Chicken Jockey.

Y- I'll, I'll tell you one thing that made this, uh, uh, um...

What we saw mostly, it was truly not mean-spirited.

Um, maybe a couple...

You know, you c- if you, if you want to find, obviously there's a couple.

But in general, it was very not mean-spirited.

It was very honest.

Uh, is it worth seeing though, or not?

They gotta get it ready for the next screening, but, uh, the place gets trashed every time because of Chicken Jockey.

The, I'll, I'll tell you one thing that made this, uh, uh, um, what we saw mostly, it was truly not mean-spirited.

Um, maybe a couple, you know, you could, if you, if you want to find obviously there's a couple.

But in general it was very not mean-spirited.

It was very honest.

They were looking forward to this, and it was a little sarcastic but they weren't trying to be mean.

In almost every theater I've looked at or talked to, um, it's, it was welcomed in the sense that it was also usually, like, one show a day.

All right what's out this weekend?

(laughs)

...

but, but I mean, it's, it, there's, there's a l- th- there's a lot of e- stuff about the movie that is, I mean, it's, it's super over the top.

Um, they did, uh, they decided, I think, to just go way, way over the top to be almost to the point of ridiculousness.

And, uh, and so I kind of enjoyed it from being a dad who had a lot of little kid Minecraft parties for birthday parties for my kids and stuff.

So, um, I think almost everyone's gonna go see this who grew up with Minecraft, and then you get that range of, "They cou- should've done this, they should've done that, that doesn't happen in the game," that kinda stuff.

But i- if you look back at the reviews on a Super Mario movie, it's almost identical.

That that's the real deal.
