Snacks are key, and word is that this year the cost of Super Bowl treats will be about the same as last year, with a few exceptions. Food for a big Game party at ten will run around one hundred and thirty nine dollars, only about ten cents more than last year.

00:01:07
Speaker 5: But am I really being that much healthier choosing yogurt over ice cream?
00:01:11
Speaker 6: Not when you cover in candy like I do, But assuming you.
00:01:14
Speaker 7: Don't, is it that much healthier?
00:01:15
Speaker 4: Really? In other words, should I just go for ice cream?
00:01:18
Speaker 7: Look?
00:01:18
Speaker 3: I think when you're gonna do stuff like that and moderations and moderation, it's okay. If you like the taste of yogurt better, then that's that's your choice.

00:06:10
Speaker 7: How you doing, man, I'm doing great.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: It's so good to see you, brother, and you seem to have the Midas touch on all of your projects. Congratulations on your new film, Mercy play A detective in the future, A Eyes Involved, the whole deal.
00:06:24
Speaker 5: Tell me about it.
00:06:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, basically, it's ninety minutes in the life of a man who's defending his life, and so it's a trial, AI, judge, jury, an executioner. It's setting like twenty twenty nine Los Angeles where they've been able to incorporate AI into the justice system to try to deter the most violent, heinous crimes. You know, the one of the situations where it's like if we know you're guilty, right, like every shred of evidence says you're guilty, ninety nine percent chance you absolutely did this. To try to prevent crime, this program's created that says we'll kill you the day that we arrest you.
00:07:00
Speaker 7: Oh I love that. Trying to stop crime.
00:07:03
Speaker 8: And so my characters a detective who's put eight people in this chair already, all of them found guilty, all of them executed. But I wake up and now I'm in the chair, and I got drunk the night before. I have no idea what happened, and my wife has been murdered. Oh every shred of evidence says that I did it, and I don't know if I did it or not, but now I have ninety minutes to try to say I didn't.
00:07:22
Speaker 7: And that's the movie. This is the ninety minutes of.
00:07:24
Speaker 8: Me on trial, fighting for my life and using access to this La Municipal cloud every bit of evidence of my life facetimes and Instagram profiles and my kids have hidden from me, and emails and text messages that we went through, and there's judge judging me on who I am and whether or not I'm a person who's capable of committing this crime. So it's ninety minutes of me basically trying to determine whether or not I'm a killer or not.
00:07:47
Speaker 5: Oh man, those are some high stakes right there.
00:07:49
Speaker 4: What a fun promise.
00:07:50
Speaker 8: It's definitely edge of your seat, a literal ticking clock, and it's I'm confined to a chair the whole time. So we shot it like a stage place, so like we really takes fifty sixty minutes long, but there's a ton of action because I've got like my detective.
00:08:02
Speaker 7: Partners off boots up the ground.
00:08:03
Speaker 8: She's flying all over trying to like, you know, I'm flying on this quad copture trying to like uncover and peel back the oneion and prove my innocence for me and going to various crime scenes and all these riots are happening outside. It's like tensions are really high in La and it's it's a cool movie, man, It's a really cool movie.
00:08:19
Speaker 4: Well, looking forward to check it out.
00:08:20
Speaker 6: Man.
00:08:20
Speaker 5: Again, the film is Mercy. Hang time, We're gonna have more Chris coming.
00:08:23
Speaker 1: Up, Mario Lopez.
00:08:25
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, getting.
00:08:26
Speaker 2: Back to after Chris Prade is hanging out on Zoom Mario Lopez. Here, a new movie is Mercy. And the way it was filmed, because it's a lot of body camerage footage and drone shots and stuff and continuous shots.
00:08:35
Speaker 5: Was that challenging for you just as an actor?
00:08:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a different challenge. I mean, the team more big Buck membertop our director. I worked with them on Wanted years and years ago, sixteen seventeen years ago, and he's always been on the cutting edge of visual storytelling, like, you know, really developing new technologies, and he did it on this movie as well, so a lot.
00:08:55
Speaker 7: It's called the screenline film. So everything you see is me on trial.
00:08:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then every interaction I have with everybody is with the type of interactions we typically have on a day to day basis with people. And all the evidence that's collected is part of this big surveillance state. So you got doorboard cameras, dash cams, security footage, facetimes, everything that we're used to seeing because we kind of forget that we are etching our lives into digital stone, leaving a trail of everywhere we've ever been, you
know, and so it's even heightened because it's like three years in the future.
00:09:25
Speaker 7: And so it was a challenge. I mean it was a challenge.
00:09:27
Speaker 8: We're shooting it just like a movie, but all of a sudden you're like, wait, we're doing this whole sequence on a GoPro. Yeah, and then we're like, you know, we're doing this entire thing on an iPhone or you know, certain things, You're like, I'm literally shooting on a doorbird camera a sequence, you know. So it was different. And then the big challenge was just being stuck in the chair and going for long takes like fifty sixty minutes long. Wow, and doing it like a play.
00:09:48
Speaker 7: So it was. It was really cool, man, It was.
00:09:50
Speaker 8: It was different and not getting and being stuck in this chair, not being able touch my face for an hour ooh like truly feeling claustrophobic and trapped in this chair.
00:09:58
Speaker 7: It was. It was very technical.
00:10:00
Speaker 8: The whole thing was processed was really technical and in a challenging way that was different than anything I've done before.
00:10:05
Speaker 7: I get way too itchy for that.
00:10:06
Speaker 5: I'd be wanting to scratch and the whole deal.
00:10:09
Speaker 7: You don't realize how often you scratch your face.
00:10:11
Speaker 4: No, you just even like I just rubbed my nose totally.
00:10:14
Speaker 6: I feel like you would even have phantom itches.
00:10:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: You start just start kind of manifesting them. And then the AI judging system is fascinating. I really want to check this out. CONGRATU And that sounds cool, all right, Chris hank Ti a few more songs and we're gonna come back with some.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: Jo a.
00:10:30
Speaker 4: Mario Lopez catching up with after Chris Prap and getting.
00:10:33
Speaker 5: The scoop on his new movie Mercy.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: But another movie of yours I'm really looking forward to seeing is the Mario Brothers sequels. My boys are fired up their whole bedrooms. Or Super Mario, the Super Mario Galaxy movie. And I see Super Mario every day because I'm here at Universal. Well the whole way, I'm immersed.
00:10:49
Speaker 5: Are you happy with the way that one turned out?
00:10:51
Speaker 7: Oh? It's so good.
00:10:52
Speaker 8: It's like the first movie I was so proud of. I think it's fantastic. I think it just steps up a whole another level.
00:10:59
Speaker 7: Like it.
00:10:59
Speaker 8: I've only I haven't seen the full movie. I've only seen sequences. Okay, but I'm about to go see the movie I think next week. But the sequences that I've seen, I was like, it feels like a Marvel movie. Like they're the most visually stunning pieces of like animated cinema I think I've ever seen. So it's they just took they just built on what we did before and just totally doubled down. You have a bunch of new characters. Fine, you're fit of the games and the nostalgia playing those games. Yes, you're gonna see characters. You're like, dude, they've put They've brought that into the Universe. That's unreal. So like I he's like a big Mario fan. I think everyone's kind of chomping it the bit to see who's the next characters that they're bringing in.
00:11:38
Speaker 7: But there's some like really cool throwbacks and people.
00:11:41
Speaker 8: I think it's just it's just gonna expand that sort of like Nintendo Universe even more.
00:11:47
Speaker 2: All's a little Easter Eggs that's gonna be awesome. Man, all right, more with Chris on the way, but first, more music. Chris Priude hanging out on Zoom this hour. You're all Mario Lopez and hey, is this true?
