00:00Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of On Cinema at the Cinema. We are here at
00:16the High Network ESA campus. I'm your host, Neu Heidecker, and we're here to talk movies
00:21and talk about all sorts of stuff. We'll see what happens. We might get into some other
00:25stuff. Let's just do movies this time.
00:27All right. Don't interrupt me. My guest is Greg Turkington from the VSA, who's now running
00:33the VFA out of the... It's kind of a little bit of a tongue twister. You're running the
00:39VFA out of the High Network ESA campus.
00:42Yes.
00:43I wanted to mention because I've been getting a lot of cards and letters and emails and things
00:50from people who watched last week's episode who were very unhappy that we only reviewed
00:54two movies when we had promised we were going to do three.
00:58All right. Well...
00:59And because we're filming in my room, my room, my rules. So today we're going to do three
01:06movie reviews and two popcorn classics.
01:08Well, we'll see if we have time because I've got something else planned, but if we get to
01:12three, we get to three. Before we get into the movies, I do want to... First of all, people
01:18are asking about Dad. G, like I said...
01:22I thought you were talking about the movie Dad. People are asking about the movie Dad
01:24with Jack Lemmon.
01:25No, they're asking about my dad, Giamato, who's been at Grand Terrace. I shouldn't say
01:31where he is, but he's at a really nice facility. Very happy. And I've been spending a lot of
01:37time there. And I don't want to give too much away, but there might be something interesting
01:42happening for our show as it relates to the facilities there. So that's an exciting development
01:49that I'm sort of a tease. Everyone's going to be chatting about that. Second, I just want
01:54to update people because people have been wondering, have I settled things with Tony? And the answer
02:02is no. And we are pursuing a pretty aggressive lawfare strategy with her because, of course,
02:09we have the ongoing lawsuit with Sizzler, which is sizzling and developing and a lot of interesting
02:15turns happening there. I've been working exclusively now with Grok to develop our law strategy. And
02:21we believe that this is going to be a significant source of revenue for a high network going into
02:25the future with the various revenue streams coming from some of these lawsuits. And so we'll
02:34have more information on that. In addition to the Sizzler lawsuit, we are looking at, because of
02:40the organ aging that we identified through reogenesis, that it looks now like the source of some of that
02:48rapid aging process occurred from the ground that I consumed at the ranch, which was not disclosed in
02:57the purchase from the Newman family. So you're going to sue yourself. I can't sue my, you actually
03:04can't sue yourself, but you can sue the owners. Because you were the one that was drinking that
03:08stuff. Legally, the Newman family were required to disclose the contents of the materials in the
03:14earth when they made that sale. And there were illegal contents in, I don't want to give too much
03:20away, but we're developing a very interesting strategy there. You were part of the Newman family
03:25at that time. So again, you can't really sue yourself. I thought you wanted to talk about
03:29movies. Yes. All right, well then let's get into the movies because we have a very exciting
03:34segment coming up that I haven't even told you about. First of all, Roofman, directed by sitting
03:42in a, you'll appreciate this, sitting in exactly 120 minutes. Yes. Directed by Derek. Two hours.
03:47Directed by Derek Cian France, starring Channing Tatum, Peter Dinklage, and Kristen Dunst. Synopsis
03:56is the story of a roof, this is about a roof man, robber, Jeffrey Manchester and his time
04:01on the lamb evading capture. What'd you make of Roofman? You would think when you see Superman,
04:06Spider-Man, Ant-Man, even Rain-Man, that this is part of a series of man movies, because that's
04:14usually how that works. None of them are related. And this one's even less related. Well, Superman
04:19and Spider-Man are both superheroes. They're different types of superheroes. One is a Superman,
04:24one is a Spider-Man. So they have different, Roofman doesn't have any special abilities based on
04:29a roof, for instance. Right. He's just a guy that breaks into houses or is basically a criminal.
04:34So very different type of movie, but it is interesting to have the title carry on like
04:40that. I thought it was great, very dramatic, very tense, and very much a five bag of popcorn
04:46movie. And then your rating would be? Well, it's a five bag of popcorn movie, so the rating
04:50is five bags of popcorn. Okay. And I'm going to throw in a key, like a skeleton master key,
04:58so that he can get up to these roofs without having to break into things. You give keys to a lot
05:04of movies, by the way. I do. That's one of the keys to film criticism. No, I like Roofman.
05:09This is a good movie from the director Derek Cien-France, which almost seems like Cinema
05:14France, if you think about his name. He's French Cinema. This episode, one of the three movies
05:20we're reviewing, besides Roofman, is a movie that is a woman. Well, I'm getting to that.
05:26So let me give my review. Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Let me give my review of Spider-Man. Okay.
05:29But stay tuned. Which is five bags of popcorn for Spider-Man, starring Kristen Dunst. And
05:35we'll give that five bags of popcorn, so everybody can go out and see that movie. From Spider-Man
05:39to? Kiss of the Spider-Woman, directed by Bill Condon, directed, starring Lee, Diego Luna,
05:46Tonatihu, and Jennifer Lopez, which we love. Valentin, a political prisoner, shares a cell with
05:57Molina convicted for public indecency. An unlikely bond forms as Molina recounts a Hollywood musical
06:04plot starring Ingrid Luna. So this is the story of the Kiss of the Spider-Woman. Your thoughts?
06:10It's funny. You've had so many Spider-Man movies and reboots and remakes, but all these years
06:16is only the second of the Kiss of the Spider-Woman movies. So hopefully we do see a lot more of those
06:22movies in the future. But it's very different, again, with Roof Man, where I think we were
06:26talking about how it's not a superhero. He's not Roof Man, who leaps from roof to roof and
06:33has some sort of superpowers. In the same way, this Spider-Woman isn't really like Spider-Man
06:39with superpowers and things. This is actually a very depressing movie that takes place in a
06:45prison cell. Right. So kind of the opposite of Superman or Spider-Man. So kind of a left turn
06:52there, but still a great movie. I'm going to give it five bags of popcorn. And I'm going to throw in
06:58a pencil that if you have webs in the corner of your room, you can use the pencil, as we've done here,
07:05to get the webs out of the corner of your room. Keep your place clean, free of spiders. Yep.
07:10Yeah. Sorry, I have to take a quick break, because I have to go to the bathroom. Be right back, everybody.
07:18All right. I'm sorry about that. Oh, God. Stuff is eating right through me. I caught a lot of this. I was in the
07:43bathroom for a lot of it myself. But luckily, the theater I go to, they play the audio from the movie
07:48in the bathroom. Really? It was a one-movie, one-screen experience. You can hear the audio
07:54from the movie. So I heard most of the movie. From what I could tell, it seemed like a really well-made
08:00movie, and another classic from Bill Condon. Condon, I see that, the end there. And Jennifer Lopez,
08:08it's always good to see her, and I'm a big fan of her music. Always was. And we're glad to see her back
08:14on the big screen for a little eye candy. So I give it five bags of popcorn, and one cup of soda, no ice.
08:26So we agree.
08:27All right. Now we're going to do something a little interesting. We've got a special guest.
08:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
08:32We're going to do something interesting. We're going to review Ananomy, which is another cool movie.
08:36I don't have that with me here, so we're not going to review.
08:40What is it? Ananomy? Daniel Day-Lewis?
08:43I don't have that on my list, so. What's it? Anemone.
08:49Anemone. Anemone. A what?
08:50Ananomy. It sounds like it's going to be a science fiction movie or something about
08:54undersea adventures. We're not reviewing it.
08:56It's actually more of a drama. We're going to my guest.
08:58Like you said the Spider Woman was a drama.
08:59My guest today on the show.
09:01It's interesting to have something kiss of the Spider Woman.
09:04You think, oh, spiders. Anemone. You think sea anemones.
09:08Both of them are just dramas.
09:10We're not reviewing the movie.
09:12Kind of a Trojan horse with a title that brings you in thinking you're going to see something.
09:15My guest is...
09:17Five bags of popcorn.
09:18My guest is, formerly of Orkin, and here to talk about movies, we've got Big Mike.
09:23Get in here, Big.
09:24Hey.
09:25How's it going?
09:25All right. How you doing?
09:26Good to see you.
09:27And you know Greg.
09:29Mm-hmm.
09:29So, let's talk about where you're at right now.
09:34Because you had a little bit of a little controversy after appearing at the Oscar special.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Well, you know, we got that part of the segment where we were toasting.
09:46Mm-hmm.
09:46Even though I was done off the clock and go in the next day, job's done after 21 years, so...
09:56You had one glass of champagne and you had completed the work, so you're technically, I would consider, off the clock.
10:03But because you're in uniform or whatever, they say sayonara to BM because you, what, had one glass of champagne?
10:12Yeah.
10:12There's nothing I can do about it, but I just wanted to let you be a part of what we're doing here.
10:17And we are also talking about, I don't want to give too much away, but there is...
10:22I have thoughts on a more organic, holistic approach to extermination that I know you're interested in.
10:28No.
10:28Because work and use is such deadly chemicals, and you end up breathing...
10:32You must have been polluted, which I want to get you on the Warp 10, because you're breathing in all those toxins, and your organs must be hundreds of years old.
10:42Yeah.
10:43Dr. Wang, by the way, won't reveal what's in there, so that's kind of interesting.
10:46But anyways, we have a great new segment that we developed, I think you're going to enjoy, called Box...
10:52What's it called?
10:53Yeah, Box Office Poison, yeah.
10:55And so this is an opportunity for Mike to share what he thinks is going to be a dud in the theaters this week.
11:01So Big Mike presents Box Office Poison.
11:04Take it away, Mike.
11:05Yeah, Tron Aries.
11:07Say that again?
11:07Tron Aries.
11:10What is he saying?
11:10Tron movie, Tron Aries.
11:11Tron movies.
11:12Tron Aries.
11:13Yeah, yeah, it's a sequel.
11:14Well, I would say that there is a desensitized reaction with it, because there's just so much out there.
11:25So you think people are going to stay away from Tron Aries?
11:29Yeah, I mean, after a while, you know, it's always the same old thing, and...
11:33I think it's going to do great, because the Tron is one of the most storied franchises in movie history.
11:38It's like saying a Star Wars movie is not going to do great.
11:41It's ridiculous.
11:41Well, I know with certain movies that have had, like, you know, one, two, three...
11:48After the second one, I stopped.
11:50Even some of the great...
11:52Well, we'll see what happens.
11:53We will see what the box office looks like.
11:54I'm thinking in terms of quality, though, you know.
11:57Would you say that about James Bond?
11:59Because they stretched that out, and each James Bond movie made more than the previous one.
12:02I think you have to take into consideration what the genre is and the development of the stories, you know.
12:09You stick to dropping rats into corners to pretend that they're...
12:12I exterminate them.
12:13I don't drop them.
12:13Well, at Movie House, you were dropping rats.
12:16No, I wasn't.
12:16Yeah, you were.
12:17There were no rats there until you showed up.
12:19Well, I mean, there were dead rats, because I exterminated them.
12:21Yeah, that you brought in so that you could get the work exterminating, but there was...
12:25I don't know I'm bringing dead rats.
12:26All right, well, that's interesting.
12:28Mark said you did.
12:29I guess we'll...
12:30Mark said you did.
12:31How would Mark know?
12:32He was under debris.
12:33I saved him.
12:34Earlier in the day, when you were there, he said you were dropping rats.
12:39You guys saw me walk in.
12:40Where did I have rats?
12:41In my pocket?
12:41I don't know.
12:42I don't know how you work.
12:43No, there are no rats.
12:43Maybe you have a lined jacket.
12:44I exterminated rats.
12:45Maybe there's rats in your...
12:46All right, you guys can settle this...
12:48You guys had popcorn all over the place.
12:49Off-camera, let's move on.
12:50Thank you so much.
12:51And I bet you $100 at the Tron movie is a huge hit.
12:55We'll see.
12:56We'll be following that and measuring it.
12:58We'll see.
12:58You take the bet.
12:59We're not betting on the show.
13:00Thank you very much, Mike.
13:01Good to see you.
13:01Good to see you.
13:02And we'll be in touch, and you can see yourself out there.
13:04You don't have anything about movies.
13:05Yep.
13:06And you're wrong about Tron.
13:08All right.
13:09Well, thank you to Big Mike, and we'll just have to watch the box office numbers come in
13:13and see if Mike is right.
13:15He's wrong.
13:16I wanted to do another segment with him, which maybe I'll just do on my own here, is the rat
13:21of the week.
13:22And the rat of the week this week is...
13:25John, Big Mike, whatever his name is.
13:28He's the rat of the week.
13:30My rat of the week is John Crone, who's the head of legal affairs at Sizzler.
13:36And I don't know anything about this guy, except he has been completely incommunicative
13:41with me and Grok as we're trying to at least sit down and discuss a settlement.
13:47And we've been completely stonewalled by this guy, and that's not how you do business.
13:53And he is a bad representation of a failing company.
13:59Sizzler, we hope, will not go out of business because we want to take them for all their
14:03worth before then.
14:05But John Crone, call me back and write me back, even if it's email.
14:09All right, everybody.
14:10That's all the time we have today.
14:11So thank you all so much, and we'll see you next week.
14:15I have a segment that I've developed, and I'm going to do it to keep your mouth shut.
14:20Okay?
14:21I know this is your room, but when we're rolling, it becomes my room, my rules.
14:26Nothing for me.
14:27Nothing.
14:28Just go.
14:29Okay.
14:29All right.
14:41Yeah.
14:48Yeah.
14:48Yeah.
14:54Yeah.
14:56Yeah.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Yeah.
