00:00:09
Speaker 1: May finally have a movie that will knock Spider-Man out of the top spot. Resident Evil makes its appearance again. The film is directed by Zach Kreger, who created Weapons, the movie Weapons, from earlier this year and got a lot of critical praise for that film. well, he's also getting critical praise for this one as well. We're going to talk about that on Gary and Shannon, but Andy Riesmeyer is actually in for Gary this week. We're also going to do a quick Emmys preview, some of the highlights and moments that stood out to us from this year's ceremony. And we'll talk about the new Ethan Hawke movie, The Wait, which is getting a lot of really great reviews, especially for the performances of Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe in that film. And We're going to talk Tiny Fugitives, the raunchy comedy starring Johnny Knoxville. We've got it all for you this week in the Entertainment Report on Gary and Shannon. Okay, before we get into the Emmys, we have.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: To talk about.
00:01:07
Speaker 3: You're pregnant.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: No, that would be inappropriate. I haven't even told my husband. We have to talk about last.
00:01:14
Speaker 4: Not the concept.
00:01:15
Speaker 1: No, we have to talk about last Sunday, the coolest thing I got to do, which was watch Shannon Farron from the sideline.
00:01:21
Speaker 2: At the Chargers game.
00:01:22
Speaker 4: That's so exciting.
00:01:23
Speaker 3: That was fun.
00:01:24
Speaker 2: I loved seeing you.
00:01:25
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, that was literally... Such a joy watching you like truly in your element. I know you're in your element here and we get like in the day to day of the newsy stuff, but it was such a joy watching you like keep track of all the plays. I mean, I cannot imagine the amount of information in your head with this game because you have to keep track of the players, the plays, the coaches, the history of the team. Like it's so much. And you look like you're having such a blast and it was like just such a joy to watch you do that.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. I love it. I love that job.
00:01:57
Speaker 5: It's, it is the, um, it is absolutely the, what would you do if you didn't have to work for a living job? I would do that job for free for funsies. You know, I've told them that I shouldn't have probably done that. But anyway, uh, thank you, Heather. And I love seeing you and your family. It's, it's, it's so much fun to see people when, uh, when you guys come out to the game.
00:02:17
Speaker 1: I have a lot of pictures of your butt because we were right behind her.
00:02:20
Speaker 5: I love that you took pictures of my butt.
00:02:22
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I squat for Heather.
00:02:26
Speaker 4: You did.
00:02:27
Speaker 5: You did.
00:02:27
Speaker 2: She was squatting.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: She was looking like she was really into it. So yeah, it's been a busy couple of weeks.
00:02:33
Speaker 5: You were on the blue carpet. Now, is the blue carpet new at the Emmys?
00:02:38
Speaker 2: Is it Yeah.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: So what happens every year is it goes to the Emmys are on a different network every year. And sometimes the networks like to put their own stamp on it. A couple of years ago was at Fox and they did this beautiful gold carpet. And this year is an NBC and they wanted to do this kind of lighter blue colored carpet.
00:02:55
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's more of a stylized thing.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: So this year they did the blue carpet and it was very, very hot inside the tent. They put like a sheer white tent over the carpet and it creates this like hot box situation. And we were there for hours before anybody started to arrive. And I'm almost positive. I was there next to Amanda Salas from Fox 11, who, by the way, if I ever get fired, please hire her.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: She's amazing.
00:03:17
Speaker 4: She's so great. Yeah.
00:03:18
Speaker 1: I should say when I get fired here from here one day. But she's amazing. I love working with her because she knows everybody. Everybody loves her. And so they put kind of a lot of us in.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: The same area.
00:03:28
Speaker 1: And It was just great, like, you know, seeing people all dressed up and like sweating and trying to keep their composure and like, you know.
00:03:35
Speaker 3: Watching the actresses on the blue carpet or whatever, it looks.
00:03:40
Speaker 5: terrifying when they're by themselves and they're like posing.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: And what you don't hear is all the cat calling and the yelling from the photographers who were like.
00:03:50
Speaker 2: Heather, Heather, over here, Heather, Heather, over here, Shannon squat.
00:03:55
Speaker 3: It looks just nerve wracking.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: I imagine it would be, I think they probably built up a tolerance to it a little bit at some point they're used to it. Um, especially cause they know they're going into it in a situation like this. But you add on top of that, just like the tremendous heat and the stress of the moment, especially if you're a nominee and it could be life changing for your career. It's a really exciting and nerve wracking time. And how these actors and actresses manage to look so effortlessly cool while doing it is something I will never have.
00:04:24
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: Nerd i would i would just be like sweating.
00:04:28
Speaker 5: You didn't look like a nerd on sunday baby or what day was that.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: Both days sunday and monday you looked gorgeous thank.
00:04:34
Speaker 4: You you're right though seeing them up close and personal is kind of arresting It is. Like the real famous ones, the real beautiful ones. You're like, oh, no. Yeah. I'm embarrassed to exist.
Load full transcript
Sometimes when I'm interviewing people.
00:04:45
Speaker 2: Because they're so pretty.
00:04:46
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:04:46
Speaker 4: And I see a two shot between me and some like very beautiful person. And I'm like, oh, God. Just take the single, please. Move on.
00:04:53
Speaker 1: So a couple of highlights from the show I want to point out. Taylor Swift made an appearance in a video with Mariska Hargitay. She is famously a big fan. of uh i think her cat is even named olivia benson yeah so she's a big fan of law and order svu and that was kind of a fun moment john mulaney had one of the funniest moments of the night and which is not surprising he's so funny he's great he did this whole like men being men routine during the best actor in a drama he read a book from the glendale public library shout out glendale um so that was a really fun and charming moment a lot of great reunions charlie's angels reunion There was also a Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson reunion back on TV. Now, are they on a show together? They were on a show called True Detective.
00:05:38
Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
00:05:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
00:05:39
Speaker 3: So that's an old one.
00:05:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:05:41
Speaker 1: Sweet Moment with Tom Feltry. He won for Task. He is married to Kaley Cuoco, who is pregnant with his baby.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: Michael J.
00:05:49
Speaker 1: Fox got a huge ovation while receiving the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.
00:05:53
Speaker 4: So sweet.
00:05:53
Speaker 5: One of the awkward things, Baywatch. I don't understand why people are trying to make this happen.
00:06:00
Speaker 2: It's, well, I think... Is it happening? It's happening.
00:06:03
Speaker 5: It seems like every time I see the new Baywatch reboot, it's an awkward kind of vibe.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Stephen Amell is starring in it. They've been filming in Venice for months.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: They have....
00:06:15
Speaker 1: They're trying to recapture this sort of love for this moment in time, which was the like 90s.
00:06:19
Speaker 2: It's hard to do.
00:06:20
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
00:06:21
Speaker 1: It's going to be hard to do, but I think people will tune in. Steve Amell is very watchable. And then, of course, you know, you're going to got the girls in the bathing suits that are going to be running in slow-mo. You got to have a little tongue-in-cheek moment there. But that was a fun moment for the show. Did they make fun of themselves? Like, is it a light thing or just people taking themselves seriously? I think there's got to be a little bit of a tongue in cheek, like they know what they're doing. I haven't seen, nothing's been released yet, but I'm sure it's got to be a little, they've got to be self-aware.
00:06:47
Speaker 5: Like Julia Stiles on Dancing with the Stars. I want to see her do some Save the Last Dance.
00:06:53
Speaker 2: 100%.
00:06:53
Speaker 5: Right?
00:06:54
Speaker 1: If she doesn't, that's a huge missed opportunity. It's a missed
opportunity.
00:06:56
Speaker 5: As much as I like the Dolly Parton opening number, I'm going to need to see some Save the Last Dance.
00:07:01
Speaker 2: 100%.
00:07:02
Speaker 4: Rachel sent it into Zion's little bit that they did right after Mulaney, which is the worst time that you could possibly try to come up and do comedy.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: It kind of flopped.
00:07:11
Speaker 4: It flopped. It flopped hard. And I think you look at that and say, man, this is one of those things where we wish that... That Mulaney was hosting. Everybody's like, this gives us an example of what it would feel like for him to do it.
00:07:21
Speaker 2: I think that's why he did that.
00:07:23
Speaker 4: But he's done it even, he did it at the Oscars and then said that he didn't, he said, no, he said, I don't want to do it. So I don't, I don't, I think he'd be great at it.
00:07:30
Speaker 2: I think he'd be great at it too. It's a lot of pressure.
00:07:32
Speaker 5: It's a lot of pressure and you got to make so many people happy and there's things you can't do.
00:07:37
Speaker 3: You have to stay away from things.
00:07:39
Speaker 4: What do you think about Mariska?
00:07:40
Speaker 2: I know we have to go to break, but what do you think about Mariska.
00:07:42
Speaker 4: As a host?
00:07:42
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. I was watching football.
00:07:44
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
00:07:45
Speaker 2: She was okay. Yeah, she was okay.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: It was fine. I think they tried to give her too much to do. There was a lot of singing and dancing. And stuff like that, where I was like, I don't think you really need her to do all that.
00:07:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's too much.
00:07:58
Speaker 2: Too much.
00:07:58
Speaker 3: Just let her be her.
00:07:59
Speaker 4: And it was cool to see, because you're right, she's so charming. It was cool to see her there. But as you know, being a host, there's a difference between being an actor and being a presenter. And a lot of them can do it, but a lot of them can't.
00:08:09
Speaker 5: Yeah. And Heather Brooker is with us for our weekend entertainment report. Now, I hear there is a monster at the box office. Yes.
00:08:16
Speaker 3: Tell me more.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: There's going to be a couple of monstery type things. Just depends on your brand of monster. So the big movie that's coming out this weekend that's expected to knock Spider-Man out of the top spot is Resident Evil. This is from Zack Kreger. And, of course, he made headlines earlier this year with a movie called Weapons. Do you remember Weapons?
00:08:35
Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: Kind of a eerie, spooky, thrillery movie. Well, Resident Evil is tracking about to make 40 to about $ 50 million, $ 80 million worldwide. It'll put it ahead of Spider-Man. So critics are loving this movie. It's at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is the best reviewed Resident Evil movie ever.
00:08:58
Speaker 3: What's the gist behind Resident Evil?
00:09:01
Speaker 4: Well, there's people who live there and they're filled with malice it's a video game series that's zombies oh and then it became this very popular television or television movie franchise as well mila jovovich is our uh is our girl and it's very scary and dark Okay.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: Very dark, very scary.
00:09:21
Speaker 1: So this is Zach Kreger's interpretation of the game rather than a continuation of the movie series.
00:09:27
Speaker 5: Nice.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: So the previous, there were six previous Resident Evil movies that were made. The franchise was like over $ 1. 2 billion. So they're kind of bringing it back to hopefully kind of reap some of the. like so some more of that money out of this franchise out of this video game.
00:09:45
Speaker 4: Probably the most successful video game to movie franchise oh yeah mostly they are very bad and they don't do well and i think it's cool because the games themselves also were when we were kids in the 90s like the scariest thing you could ever do if your friend was like oh we're gonna go over play Resident Evil You'd be like, I don't know. My parents say I can't do that.
00:10:03
Speaker 2: Really?
00:10:04
Speaker 1: It's a very intensely scary film, and Zach Kreger has done a really great job of translating that to the big screen. I think it's going to do really well. People are excited for it.
00:10:14
Speaker 4: So fun.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: The other thing that offers someone an alternative if you don't want to go see Resident Evil is the wait.
00:10:19
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: With Ethan Hawke. What just happened?
00:10:21
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was watching the trailer.
00:10:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you got a little jump scare?
00:10:24
Speaker 4: Oh, for Resident Evil?
00:10:24
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:10:24
Speaker 1: A little jump scare?
00:10:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:10:26
Speaker 4: Are you not, do you do scary?
00:10:27
Speaker 5: No.
00:10:28
Speaker 4: Oh, well.
00:10:28
Speaker 2: I don't either.
00:10:29
Speaker 1: Did he just hit her with the car?
00:10:31
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: I knew exactly what part. I knew exactly what part you were looking at.
00:10:37
Speaker 1: The other movie that's out this weekend is The Wait with Ethan Hawke. This is a Depression era thriller starring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe. Set in 1933 during the Great Depression, the government has.
00:10:48
Speaker 2: Restricted private holdings.
00:10:50
Speaker 1: Hawk plays a struggling single dad who is sent to a work camp after an altercation with a police officer. Russell Crowe is a warden who offers him a deal to try to get his daughter back. And it's basically like a prison movie meets a wilderness survival movie.
00:11:06
Speaker 3: I'm hungry thinking about it.
00:11:08
Speaker 5: Do you guys get hungry when you watch movies that are either in the Depression era.
00:11:12
Speaker 2: Or in prison? And you're like, now I need to eat. Like, I need to eat.
00:11:15
Speaker 5:
Something that, like, that guy doesn't have access to.
00:11:18
Speaker 4: I need to go out and take a walk in a park. Yeah.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: Extra popcorn for you. All of it.
00:11:22
Speaker 3: You know, where are the M & Ms? Well, this.
00:11:26
Speaker 1: This movie, I don't think they do a lot of eating because they.
00:11:29
Speaker 2: All look very thin.
00:11:30
Speaker 3: That's what makes you hungry.
00:11:32
Speaker 4: It's the depression.
00:11:33
Speaker 3: You're in prison.
00:11:35
Speaker 4: It's like the opposite of diners, drive-thrus.
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awful.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Well, Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe are fantastic in this movie. It's also getting great reviews for their performances. And it's definitely one to watch for any sort of awards contention. I would be surprised if either of them were not nominated in some way for this one.
00:11:53
Speaker 4: Is this one of those movies like a lot these days where it's just about agony? Like you just watch it. You just watch it. And the whole point is you're supposed to be agonizing your existence the entire time.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: I think it's about this sort of the suffering and the imbalance of power that happens, especially during this time period and about greed and that sort of thing.
00:12:14
Speaker 5: I have a question a little bit on Resident Evil. I finished the trailer now.
00:12:20
Speaker 3: Why does that guy even fight back?
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Like what's for what to what end?
00:12:25
Speaker 4: Just give up.
00:12:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:12:26
Speaker 3: Like what's the purpose?
00:12:28
Speaker 2: He's got to make it to the end. He's got to get back to his.
00:12:30
Speaker 4: Girlfriend, his fiance. So they can do a sequel, I'm assuming. Yeah. Silly.
00:12:34
Speaker 3: Just give up to the zombies. Give it up to the zombies.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: The other movie that will sort of be a nice fun palate cleanser this weekend is Johnny Knoxville starring in Tiny Fugitive. This is sort of like uh, super bad at summer camp. It's from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. So you can imagine the swears and the, um, just, uh, profanity from these young children's mouth is unbelievably, um, well curated.
00:13:00
Speaker 4: I just love that. They continue to make the same movie over and over and over.
00:13:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: And everybody will be like, sure we do. So this is a group of preteens at an expensive Jewish summer camp. They're so desperate to keep summer going. Cause they love summer camp so much. that they fake pink eye, get quarantined, and they escape to an abandoned camp nearby. Their nemesis is played by Johnny Knoxville in this. He's trying to thwart their plans to keep summer going. It's a little bit of like stand by me with a little bit of summer camp, but just very profane. The stuff that comes out of these kids' mouths, you're like, oh my God, that's wild.
00:13:35
Speaker 5: I love the shock value of children swearing. Heather, thank you so much. Excited for the weekend. Appreciate your time. And we will see you next week. Yes.
00:13:44
Speaker 1: Always fun when Andy stops by to fill in for Gary and any time here at KFI. We love Andy. Thanks so much for listening.
