Julian Contreras Jr
ah Hey there, welcome back to the newest episode of Shut Off, Turn On. I'm your host, Julian, and look who I got with me today.
00:00:46
Kendahl
It's Kendall.
00:00:48
Julian Contreras Jr
There we go. How you doing?
00:00:50
Kendahl
Uh, you know, I'm doing pretty good now. I don't have so much stress on my life.
00:00:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it is, ah I mean, as much as I love doing the solo episodes, it is nice to have banter back and forth and to have excitement going both ways, I guess.
00:01:05
Kendahl
Well, you know, the the crazy part is like, I get into these, I get into these moments or the, I don't want to call them ruts, but I get into these times where I'm like so over busy.
00:01:18
Kendahl
And i the it's not not that I don't love you guys. It's not that I don't love coming on here. And it's not that I definitely don't have a problem having a conversation with you. Because we still have conversations. You and I, like we still get on the phone.
00:01:30
Kendahl
We still text. like We still talk. But um the the problem is iss just setting that time aside to say, OK, let's do this.
00:01:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Yep.
00:01:38
Kendahl
It's either putting down what I'm gonna talk about, it's having a conversation you know over this timeframe, or it's putting in the effort if we're you know if we're really diving in to something a little deeper, it's putting that effort in during the week when I've got work and I've got school and I've got all these other things. Man, it gets overwhelming, but I'm glad to be here. i'm I'm definitely in a better mood.
00:02:06
Julian Contreras Jr
That's good.
Memorable Fast-Food Tales
00:02:09
Kendahl
So yeah, no, I mean, honestly, it's, uh, I listened to the episode. I gotta tell you, I think I texted like the day after it posted.
00:02:17
Julian Contreras Jr
ah
00:02:17
Kendahl
Um, and I was like, uh, I still call it the big Montana.
00:02:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, for real. I think it is a thing.
00:02:26
Kendahl
It's well, I mean, cause it's funny cause I was in, where was I at? I was like in Tennessee or Kentucky and we stopped at an Arby's and I couldn't remember what I didn't normally get. And I said, I don't know. It's like the big Montana, you know, with the, the cheese. And she's like, what? I was like the big Montana, like the big Montana. And so, yeah.
00:02:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Maybe they changed the name right after saving silverman came out because so many people are just ordering it that way.
00:02:53
Kendahl
but Right.
00:02:56
Kendahl
But anyway, so i I listened to the episode and I think I told you, i like I loved, you had a much more confident approach to the whole episode. There was a lot more of that dynamic for you.
00:03:09
Kendahl
think you know You had more of that. I know what I'm talking about. I know people are listening and there was a lot more.
00:03:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:03:17
Kendahl
i don't know just there was a There was a lot less effort to try to not sound awkward. ah that So ah that's that's how I felt.
00:03:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, for sure.
00:03:26
Kendahl
I was like, no, it was really good.
00:03:29
Julian Contreras Jr
I feel like when I'm doing it by myself and I'm trying to record, I'm trying to fill up that space. I'm just trying to be, there's no room for stoppage. Like I have to keep spitting facts as fast as Eminem raps sometimes.
00:03:44
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm like, dude, you need to slow down, slow it down a little bit.
00:03:48
Kendahl
and Julian throwing down hit Yeah, Julian throwing down the rap god moment
00:03:48
Julian Contreras Jr
It's okay to take a breath.
00:03:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, exactly. No, I have to really be disciplined on how many breaths I take and what I'm saying, not waiting for somebody to speak back.
00:04:05
Kendahl
Yeah, no, and I, you know, there's, there's a part of me that would love to, to do the, um, the solo episode, but I know there's a lot more work that goes involved in doing a solo episode. And so, um, I'm, I'm sort of afraid to do it on my own, but I, I'm, I would tell you guys the day will come. I will be doing a solo episode at some point, who knows when. And, uh, then I guess maybe we get to compare notes.
00:04:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, exactly.
Leisurely Pursuits and Relaxation
00:04:33
Julian Contreras Jr
But anyway, so now that you're back, you've taken a week off, ah you're done with school for a little bit.
00:04:39
Kendahl
until January, yeah.
00:04:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, that that's it's just a short amount of time, but you're definitely feeling less stress, you've said that, and how's your ah how's everything else going?
00:04:44
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:04:48
Kendahl
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:04:53
Kendahl
Uh, well, I mean, I feel like it's going pretty good. I've been, um, so I've been actually diving into, uh, a book series, um, or, uh, uh, an author. And, um, what's, what's really interesting is I, I had been out of the, we'll call it a book.
00:05:14
Kendahl
world for a while and so I didn't know who to look for or uh like what to what to like just anything I just didn't I didn't I didn't know who was you know popular right now and I didn't just want to go to my old tropes of like the same authors and so I decided to do some like social research I'm like hey who are you reading because um I think we've talked about it so I'm i'm a I'm a teacher and so uh as teachers teach
00:05:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Right?
00:05:43
Kendahl
they typically like to read a lot, too, in between. And it's actually a common, I guess, theme across most of us is that we find books to read when we're in our downtime. And everybody recommended this author. um So I'm probably going to butcher it. I think it's and it's Leanne Moriarty. I think it's how you say your name. um And she's ah she's got this book called Here One Moment. And it's very Interesting.
00:06:16
Kendahl
I'm, I'm, I'm almost done with the book. But what's, what's really interesting is, um I'm typically I like to like this, like the super thrillers, we're talking Stephen King, Dean Coontz, you know, that level of suspense and thriller and supernatural ish type things.
00:06:28
Julian Contreras Jr
okay
00:06:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:06:34
Kendahl
This one is more like a mystery thriller. So um almost ah now I'm trying to think of what she used to write. It was like she used to write these novels as like M for murder and like shoot something else.
00:06:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, the, the one that show was off of.
00:06:51
Kendahl
Yeah, um i can't my brain can't think right now.
00:06:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:06:53
Kendahl
but um And so I read those books years ago when I was like in my 20s. Oh my gosh, that was too long ago. Let's stop that part now. um Anyway, so this one's, it's pretty good.
00:07:05
Kendahl
I'm i'm i'm enjoying a new book and I have a kind of a, we'll call it a pseudo book club at work that wants to talk about it when I'm done. So that's that's been kind of filling up some of my time.
00:07:16
Kendahl
So it's good.
00:07:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:07:17
Kendahl
And then, Honestly, I'll tell you guys and this is the reason we do the show to shut my brain off and just turn on something good. I i did that. I i did that a few times over the last couple of weeks and so we're going to talk about some of that today. I told Julian I have have some fun things I want to talk about but um it was it was nice to be able to finally walk away from some of the stressors that I've had, and literally just put myself into some really cool shows. um So yeah, I'm excited to tell you guys something about it, but i'm not I'm not going to go too deep into it yet. um But how about you?
Physical Recovery and Frustrations
00:07:52
Kendahl
where're you know How are you doing? How's your shoulder?
00:07:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Shoulders doing good. I'm just doing the normal rehab. I can raise it most the way now.
00:07:59
Kendahl
Ooh, look at that stretch. Oh, yeah.
00:08:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, look at that Still can't lift anything over five pounds. That's a Little daunting.
00:08:04
Kendahl
Sure.
00:08:06
Julian Contreras Jr
I feel like in my head i've I've told my wife this a bunch of times like I myself feel like I should just be better like it's a sickness or something and She said to sit me down to be like listen.
00:08:14
Kendahl
Yeah. yeah
00:08:20
Julian Contreras Jr
All this stuff has to happen before you feel better. You wanting it to happen is not gonna work.
00:08:26
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:08:27
Julian Contreras Jr
So, I mean, it's getting to me that I um feel bad that I'm out of work, but at the same time, if I was at work, I couldn't do anything.
00:08:28
Kendahl
I get it.
00:08:36
Kendahl
and Just you would literally sit there and look pretty.
00:08:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, that's about it. And then, unfortunately, sitting at home for all this time is making me less pretty, because I'm just so lazy. I've had to do a few things and unfortunately my son has gotten sick and he's been home for a week and so I can't leave aside to do anything else so that puts all, it's just a constant system of things that are not necessarily going wrong but are hindering getting anything productive done.
00:09:03
Kendahl
Now I get you I, I, I mean, I remember when I had my shoulder surgery and that was those weeks.
00:09:16
Kendahl
it's um It seemed like, like you said, I just, I felt like, okay, I should be better by now. I should be able to do more, but I, I had to restrain myself and I kind of went stir crazy.
00:09:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:09:26
Kendahl
I think, actually I think that was when, I think that was a right around the time that I borrowed one of the TV series of the many that we had in common that I was like, I just need to watch something.
00:09:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:09:37
Kendahl
I want to say it was a big bang theory. No, it was, um.
00:09:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Probably Dexter.
00:09:43
Kendahl
I want to say it was, debt I think it was, I think it was Dexter that I was borrowing.
00:09:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:09:47
Kendahl
So yeah, it's, I get it.
00:09:50
Julian Contreras Jr
But I mean, thankfully there's some shows on. I can watch a couple things. Most of the stuff I'm into is inappropriate for him to be watching with me, but I mean, there's always football and sports.
Boxing Match Analysis
00:10:01
Julian Contreras Jr
I love my yeah sports updates on the solo pods.
00:10:01
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:10:05
Kendahl
Okay. Hey, can we talk, can we talk about sports for a second? Like, okay. The biggest sporting event in the last, you know, a little while we, okay.
00:10:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, okay.
00:10:15
Kendahl
We were, we were texting this back and forth with what we're talking about the, uh, you know, Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight.
00:10:22
Julian Contreras Jr
versus Jake Paul.
00:10:23
Kendahl
Oh my God.
00:10:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:10:24
Kendahl
Okay. So let's, let's be real for a second. Let's just be honest with each other.
00:10:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:10:30
Kendahl
Those punches were pulled so hard. So hard.
00:10:38
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't know. I'm just lucky I got to see them because apparently there's half the country that was in buffering mode.
00:10:45
Kendahl
Yeah, I agree.
00:10:46
Julian Contreras Jr
And I don't know if I because we watched it from the very beginning whenever when it started I showed you a picture that it was starting in one minute.
00:10:54
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:10:55
Julian Contreras Jr
So of course there's going to be different fights on the card. We're not going to just run into the main event.
00:11:00
Kendahl
Right.
00:11:01
Julian Contreras Jr
So I feel like my next my Netflix account. since we were locked in from the beginning, maybe I got lucky. Cause I only really buffered once when Tyson came out and I just backed out and went back in and it was totally fine for the rest of the time.
00:11:18
Kendahl
See I watched I only watched two fights um I watched the the one when you're like, um, did that dude just hump another guy in the corner? ah Yeah So I watched that fight and then I watched the last fight before the Tyson Jake Paul fight and um I I too I had very little buffering I had two times where it buffered out and it was like
00:11:26
Julian Contreras Jr
He sure did.
00:11:43
Kendahl
right when Jake was trying to throw a punch and it like sat there and I was like, wait, what's going on?
00:11:50
Kendahl
And then next thing I know, I came out, went back in, like you said, and they were still sparring. I was like, well, okay. I just missed like a minute and a half, but that was, that was really it.
00:11:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:11:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:12:00
Kendahl
The other, the other time I, I buffered was right when the, the fight started, like literally it was when they were doing the, the intros. And so, yeah.
00:12:09
Julian Contreras Jr
So, I mean, I do wanna talk about the fight. I'll get there, but I do wanna talk about, cause I am not a big boxing fan.
00:12:16
Kendahl
me neither yeah correct yeah right
00:12:17
Julian Contreras Jr
I watch and MMA and those are clear cut decisive winners most of the time. So with boxing, I know there's a scoring system, there's judges, and with all the rules explained to me, I feel like in my head I can score along with them. The nine tens, eight tens. If there's a knockdown, you automatically get an eight ten, something like that, right? So the first fight, totally fine. I don't know if you watched that first one.
00:12:47
Kendahl
No, that wasn't because the, the, the, the guy that was like humping in the corner, i wasn't that the second fight?
00:12:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh.
00:12:51
Julian Contreras Jr
That was the second one, yeah.
00:12:52
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did not watch the first fight.
00:12:54
Julian Contreras Jr
So that was a great fight and I felt like I scored it in my head and I was, my wife was watching with me. She wanted to be part of ah the phenomenon, which was the Netflix live.
00:13:06
Kendahl
Right.
00:13:08
Julian Contreras Jr
So we watched it and I was like, I'm pretty sure that guy won, pretty sure. And then it went to the draw and I was like, no way. And I think that the very first thing I said is I looked at her and was like, this is why I hate the sport.
00:13:27
Julian Contreras Jr
I can't do draws.
00:13:28
Kendahl
yeah
00:13:30
Julian Contreras Jr
And then, go ahead.
00:13:30
Kendahl
i
00:13:32
Kendahl
i Feel I would say I feel you because I'm I'm in a lot of the same. I've i've watched two boxing matches It the one I watched. Oh, man, this was probably about ten years ago It was a it was a paper review fight and I can't remember who it was but it was somebody else that I um That I knew that I had said hey, let's watch.
00:13:55
Kendahl
Oh, it was my brother-in-law. He was like, hey, let's watch this as I yeah sure I So um like I don't know if we went to his house or he was at my house I can't remember and I I felt the same like it was a fun It was a fun sport to watch but I'm like people pay to watch this all the time ah No, I just and it's like you it's like well, but that when you thought somebody was obviously the winner you look at the score and you're like that was a lot closer than I saw it and
00:14:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:14:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and then you you get the scores read to you by the, what's his name? Big Mo or whatever. And it was like, I don't remember this course, so I'm just gonna say some random numbers.
00:14:34
Julian Contreras Jr
But like 27, 24 for this guy. And then the other judge sees it 28, 25 for this guy. And then somehow the third judge sees it dead even.
00:14:44
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:45
Julian Contreras Jr
What?
00:14:46
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:46
Julian Contreras Jr
High, low, it's like mowing your lawn in the winter. You're doing it, but nothing's happening. It's just a waste of time.
00:14:56
Kendahl
Yeah, I I don't know so my All right, so just the the thing that got me and there was here.
00:14:56
Julian Contreras Jr
oh But anyways, so let's forget that fight. Let's go.
00:15:05
Kendahl
Here's the thing I've watched a few highlights I've gone back because I felt like I felt like when they first got into it Like right when right when they started this like right off the bat literally out the gate Tyson was moving like Tyson and then and and i felt like he was he was jabbing a little bit to get to get jake to engage because jake kept backing off right he kept like he kept jumping around and you can see it was kind of pissing him off for a minute and then jake finally engages and then they like hug it out and i was like what we're five seconds in no way are you tired already
00:15:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:15:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:15:41
Kendahl
You both are like ridiculous athletes. I wouldn't even be tired at that point And I just I felt like I felt like this was one of those They were there was something else going on.
00:15:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:15:51
Kendahl
I was like, come on like back up. Let's do this. Let's just you know, let's just do it and Then there were a couple of punches from Tyson that I mean they hit pretty square on on Jake and I was like, oh here we go and then all of a sudden I He where he would be able to to make a counter He wouldn't and I mean there was one time when jake Laid out.
00:16:01
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:16:16
Kendahl
I mean he laid out went after him and tyson ducked and and and and weaved exactly in order that was ah That's what you expect from you know
00:16:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:16:29
Kendahl
my Tyson and then all of a sudden it was like this 60 year old man got up and started trying to box that had never boxed a day in his life.
00:16:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:16:39
Kendahl
You know, I was like, uh, okay.
00:16:41
Julian Contreras Jr
He's only 58.
00:16:43
Kendahl
Same, same. I'm just saying I, you know what? No, I'll give it 58. If I looked that good at 58, I, I'd be happy. But I just, I felt like, I felt like Tyson was pulling a lot of his punches and then I felt like,
00:16:58
Kendahl
I felt like Jake was taking it easy at some point because he recognized where Tyson was at And I could see Tyson was definitely limping towards like the seventh eighth round You could see him having a hard time moving across across the board because by the time he got to his corner You could see his exhaustion coming off of his one knee like you could feel it.
00:17:12
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:17:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. And then that one scene where he was in this corner and he sat down and I was just like, oh man, this guy's done, but eat it was a great idea.
00:17:21
Kendahl
I Don't know
00:17:29
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:17:32
Julian Contreras Jr
We all bought into it. Millions of people watched, tried to watch.
00:17:38
Kendahl
Millions of dollars was bet on it. It was one of the highest betted or one of the highest boxing matches betted on in, I don't remember how long, I can't remember the record, but it was some crazy number.
00:17:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:17:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Was it rigged? Was it fixed? I don't know. Was it scripted? I don't know either. I'll just pretend like it was a real fight. And it was just a 27 year old.
00:18:03
Julian Contreras Jr
He's a pretty good athlete. I'm not going to say anything bad about Jake Paul.
00:18:07
Kendahl
Yeah. I mean, that I say if you've seen any of his previous stuff, he's, he's a, I mean, he's pretty tough.
00:18:08
Julian Contreras Jr
He's built, he's cut, he boxes well from what I can see.
00:18:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, but then fighting Mike Tyson at 58 and then we as an audience got to see those workout videos that he was doing and he was sparring and just killing it.
00:18:28
Kendahl
Jeez. Yeah.
00:18:30
Julian Contreras Jr
And then all of a sudden he saw none of that during the fight.
00:18:33
Kendahl
Right.
00:18:34
Julian Contreras Jr
So whatever, I don't want to waste too much more time on it.
00:18:34
Kendahl
Right.
00:18:37
Kendahl
and No, no, no, I just I thought I would bring it up because I mean we don't we you know We talk about sports sometimes and this is an off sport that we don't neither one of us typically communicate on I'm not a
TV Shows and Movies Review
00:18:48
Kendahl
boxing guy.
00:18:48
Kendahl
I do not watch boxing as a regular. I'm like you this the scoring system I get it, but I don't at the same time I It was ah it was a fun fight to watch I I stayed up till after midnight to finish it because on my end it was late and Um, but yeah, anyway, I, I'd love to hear you guys's thoughts.

Well, when I did a preview for a show called The Wilds, a little, I mean, this was a long time ago before it came out. um they They initially, when they sent me the preview, said had I ever watched the Yellow Jackets, the show, had ah did I know anything about it? At the time, I i you you know i knew about the show, didn't hadn't ever seen it.
00:20:31
Kendahl
Um, but everything that that show the wilds was, um, alluding to before I got to see the show, it kept referring back to yellow jackets. And I was like, okay, I, I, mean I can be honest with you to this day. I still haven't watched the show, but I'm, if, if there is any correlation in like the, um, what do you want to call it? Um, the interest of the show, I can see why people would be vested in it.
00:20:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's, I love it. It's going good. The story is very, if you want to put it in reading terms, it's, it's YA, it's young adult.
00:21:10
Kendahl
Mm hmm.
00:21:11
Julian Contreras Jr
There's nothing too crazy with it. It's scary at some point, at some point to the show. And then other times it's just a drama show, but it's really good.
00:21:19
Kendahl
Right.
00:21:20
Julian Contreras Jr
They've done a really good job with the story.
00:21:23
Kendahl
Now this is the group of girls that, um, like they get lost in the woods. Is that what it is?
00:21:28
Julian Contreras Jr
No, so they're a soccer team going to nationals and the plane crashes.
00:21:31
Kendahl
That's right. That's right. Okay. Yeah.
00:21:35
Julian Contreras Jr
And then other things happen. I don't want to give anything away with what happens during it. You'll just have to watch season one because it is really good. Uh, I feel like all the actors they chose to play the girls and the teens and then adult versions.
00:21:52
Kendahl
Mm hmm.
00:21:54
Julian Contreras Jr
was really good. It took me one, two, three episodes to figure out who was who at first.
00:21:59
Kendahl
Okay.
00:21:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Because they're they're bouncing back and forth.
00:22:01
Kendahl
Right.
00:22:03
Julian Contreras Jr
So they're showing them as teenagers dealing with stuff with the woods and then they're out as adults and you're trying to like, oh crap, who was that? Who was that? But eventually it just clicks in and you're locked in.
00:22:12
Kendahl
Okay.
00:22:14
Julian Contreras Jr
You know who's who.
00:22:15
Kendahl
Okay. I feel like, I feel like this is one of those, I'm i'm almost into a show whole moment and I need something to fill it. So this, this, I think I'm going to jump on, on board with it.
00:22:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. I think you're going to like it a lot, but definitely give Yellow Jackets really high praise.
00:22:26
Kendahl
All right.
00:22:30
Julian Contreras Jr
I can't rate it yet because I'm only halfway through season two now and then I'll have to wait for season three unless it ends.
00:22:34
Kendahl
Okay.
00:22:37
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't know. I'm not looking forward like ahead of the show, but that's what I've been watching.
00:22:38
Kendahl
and Okay.
00:22:41
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. Um.
00:22:44
Julian Contreras Jr
You had mentioned you had watched a brand new TV show.
00:22:46
Kendahl
i I did, I started a new TV show. It's called The Day of the Jackal. So have you seen anything on this?
00:22:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. No, ah the only thing Jackal reminded me of was that movie coming out soon called The Jackal.
00:23:00
Kendahl
No. All right, so this is called The Day of the Jackal. It is, so Eddie Redmay, guy from, um he played in Les Miserables.
00:23:12
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:23:12
Kendahl
He played in the Theory of Everything. I guarantee you see a picture, you'll know who he is. um Very, very well-known British actor, very thick British accent for almost everything he does.
00:23:24
Kendahl
um Anyway, he plays this. um And I'm not going to I'm not going to give anything away for where I'm at. um I'm it's in still in the middle of the show that the new episode comes out um Thursday. um There's I think seven episodes out on Peacock right now. um So Eddie Redmay is the main character. um He like I said, he plays this ah kind of secret assassin.
00:23:50
Kendahl
And um the very first episode starts off with showing um a very interesting situation where he makes this crazy sniper shot. Now I'm not gonna talk much about what that begins and how it all follows through because there's a lot of thriller aspects of this and it runs from episode to episode like you wanna binge the,
00:24:18
Kendahl
crud out of the show because they leave you hanging from one episode to the next so well.
00:24:19
Julian Contreras Jr
okay
00:24:24
Kendahl
um I would so the episode. So these these shows the show has a little bit of language. um So, you know, F bomb thrown down a little bit. It's honestly not that bad.
00:24:35
Kendahl
um I mean, I would compare it to. I mean, I don't even know, like, i honestly, it's I don't know. so Nowadays, it doesn't even matter.
00:24:45
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah Okay.
00:24:45
Kendahl
but So anyway, I mean overall um The violence is mild. It's it's involved because you know that the main characters ah You know deadly assassin and he's for hire. That's one thing you do find out is he's for hire and so the whole episode um The very first episode is all around this Assassin making this insane sniper shot and now they have to figure out why
00:25:16
Kendahl
And then the next episode starts building into more details of what's actually going on. And now I think I'm five, four or five episodes in and the rabbit hole has just continued to keep going. And um the the majority of the people that you're gonna find on this show, you've either never heard of, never seen, never known, that's okay. um there is So the one person that works for MI6 that's investigating um this person,
00:25:46
Kendahl
ah She is the she's the teacher from. um Oh, my gosh, I can't think of it all of a sudden the. um It's a Netflix show. um Matilda, thank you. Look right here. So she's the teacher in Matilda. ah You'll recognize her from that. There is a CEO that gets involved later on, and you will recognize him from Game of Thrones.
00:26:15
Kendahl
Um, and I'm not going to talk too much about that. And then, um, yeah, it's, it's, it's just interesting. Everybody, all of his plans start to kind of not unravel, but things start to come really close to figuring out who this guy is that's doing this.
00:26:31
Kendahl
And it's just, it's seriously good. It's really, really good. Um, I highly recommend it. Um, I guarantee if you start it prepared, sit for at least two to three hours, cause you're going to want to get to the first two or three episodes pretty quick.
00:26:43
Julian Contreras Jr
so get
00:26:44
Kendahl
It it's, they're good. They're about 49, 50 ish minutes a piece. Um, but right now peacock still has commercials with them. So it takes about an hour to watch.
00:26:53
Julian Contreras Jr
right.
00:26:53
Kendahl
Um, so yeah, super good. Really, really good. Um, I, I, I'll be honest with you, like the whole, I'm, I'm really wondering what is this movie and history of yours?
00:26:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, I did write it down.
00:27:07
Julian Contreras Jr
um I wanna save that for the end.
00:27:09
Kendahl
Do you want to save it? All right. All right.
00:27:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Pause me, because I haven't even told you.
00:27:13
Kendahl
I know that's what I'm saying.
00:27:16
Julian Contreras Jr
So, ah I wanna hear your two holiday movies that you got.
00:27:18
Kendahl
All right. So did you. Oh, OK. So all right. My first movie I'm going to tell you right now. Go watch it. Candy Cane Lane. It's on prime video.
00:27:29
Kendahl
It's not new, but it's newer.
00:27:32
Julian Contreras Jr
I came out last year with Eddie Murphy.
00:27:32
Kendahl
um Yeah, yeah. So ah yeah, exactly. I didn't get a chance to to watch it last year.
00:27:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, yeah, I like this one a lot.
00:27:38
Kendahl
Oh, did you see it?
00:27:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, last year was really good.
00:27:40
Kendahl
Okay. I meant to watch it last year. I didn't get a chance. Um, and my kids were my, the exact words were dad, let's watch a Christmas movie. That's different.
00:27:51
Kendahl
And I was like, what do you mean different?
00:27:54
Kendahl
And they said, just ones we've never seen before.
00:27:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, this one was definitely that.
00:27:58
Kendahl
So I will tell you, this is not what we originally picked. This is not the movie we started with, but it was the movie we ended on. And um honestly, my seven-year-old stayed up to watch it.
00:28:11
Kendahl
She enjoyed it. It was, I think it was good enough to entertain a child on top of there was a lot of really fun elements, um, for, for me and the wife to enjoy too. So yeah, it's got Eddie Murphy. Um, and then it's also got, uh, what's her name from, um,
00:28:30
Kendahl
give me half a second here from, um, where does she play in? She played in what's that?
00:28:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Blackish? Was it blackish?
00:28:39
Kendahl
Blackish. Yeah. Thank you.
00:28:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:41
Kendahl
Um, so yeah. So, uh, Tracy Ross and, um, you know, there's a couple other people in here. You're definitely going to recognize good overall good movie, uh, fun start to the Christmas season and in my house.
00:28:54
Kendahl
Uh, we, we have developed the term Christmas has thrown up in our home.
00:29:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:29:01
Kendahl
Uh, so we have Christmas.
00:29:02
Julian Contreras Jr
So you're all prepped and ready.
00:29:04
Kendahl
Oh, we are, we still have a lot to go, but yeah, it's everywhere.
00:29:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice. Good for you.
00:29:10
Kendahl
We you know, I just it's been such a stressful last couple of weeks and some other stuffs going on in our family and we're like, you know what, we need this. So Anyway, so we, uh, so we wanted to start the Christmas season early, so we decided to watch that now.
00:29:25
Kendahl
All right. I'm going to give you, uh, I mean, I don't even know if we want to rate it, but on a rating, I would say it's like, that's like a seven out of 10. It's, it's not, it's, it's good.
00:29:33
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:29:35
Kendahl
Um, I might watch it again next year. Like it's, I think it's good enough to watch again. It's definitely funny and entertaining enough, but, um, I will tell you, there's a movie right now that has a re ridiculous.
00:29:49
Kendahl
I mean, doesn't deserve it. I can't even understand how it has it read stupid, stupid Rotten Tomatoes score.
00:29:58
Julian Contreras Jr
All right.
00:30:00
Kendahl
The movie is hot frosty.
00:30:03
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm sorry, what?
00:30:04
Kendahl
ah It's called hot frosty.
00:30:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:30:08
Kendahl
So it is on Netflix and it's, it's, it's a, it's PG.
00:30:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm worried.
00:30:15
Kendahl
It's labeled as being a family friendly rom-com for Christmas.
00:30:21
Julian Contreras Jr
All right.
00:30:21
Kendahl
It has an 89% on rotten tomatoes.
00:30:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, frosty.
00:30:27
Kendahl
If, if you know anybody that does these rotten tomato scores, please tell me why I can't, I don't get it.
00:30:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Remember?
00:30:34
Kendahl
I can't even know, know who in the right mind could love this garbage.
00:30:34
Julian Contreras Jr
So you didn't like it.
00:30:40
Kendahl
It's so terrible. Okay. We, we, we hit man has more entertainment factor than this movie. And that movie was stinking piles of garbage.
00:30:53
Kendahl
This is terrible. we I can't even get past, we have tried on two separate of attempts to sit and watch this movie. This was the movie we started.
00:31:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Alright.
00:31:04
Kendahl
We got 10 minutes in, 15 minutes in, and my wife looks at me and she goes, i i don't I don't find this entertaining at all. I don't like it. And my daughter goes, um even the hot guy can't fix this one.
00:31:19
Kendahl
a So here's the premise.
00:31:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice.
00:31:21
Kendahl
The premise is, um I can't remember her name. um She played in Mean Girls with, ah what's her face, Lindsay Lohan. she She's down in her lumps, can't get past a bad life situation.
00:31:38
Kendahl
It'll lose very heavily that her husband passed away. She's a she works at a diner and her friend gives her a scarf and says, this will change your life. And, you know, when if you, you know, if you wish upon, blah, blah, blah, life can be different, whatever. So she goes out to this this snow carving contest thing in the middle of town square, finds this hot, frosty, the snowman and says, I think you'll like this better than me. Puts it around his neck. The dude comes to life. Yes. At one point the, even the PG Netflix, this dude's standing stark naked and this scarf is the only thing covering up anything plausible to see.
00:32:26
Kendahl
And um and somehow he he understands what clothes are, but has no idea what a TV remote is. um He understands what food is, but he realizes he's never had it before.
00:32:38
Kendahl
it Just everything about this movie is garbage. I I i have not gotten past it like 20 to 30 minute mark.
00:32:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:32:47
Kendahl
Eighty nine percent. I who who are you? Who are you? And what what hurt you so bad that this movie is good?
00:32:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Hey man, different strokes for different folks.
00:32:56
Kendahl
I don't know.
00:32:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Some people like that stuff.
00:32:59
Kendahl
Oh, you need a stroke to enjoy this.
00:33:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh man.
00:33:04
Kendahl
I'm telling you, it's terrible. Like I so terrible. The acting is beyond cheesy. The the jokes missed the mark every single time.
00:33:15
Kendahl
The and the thing is, see, here's the thing. The main character is Ted from Schitt's Creek.
00:33:21
Julian Contreras Jr
okay
00:33:22
Kendahl
And I mean, it's hard to even notice that at first, by the way. um And then and then give me a second here. And then you've got.
00:33:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay Craig Robinson I saw
00:33:29
Kendahl
um Yes, ah you have all these actors like all these decent like I don't want to say B level actors, but I mean, they're they're all over the place.
00:33:40
Kendahl
People that have played in The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine have been in multiple movies, Schitt's Creek, like just all of these top level TV and movies. And yet.
00:33:52
Kendahl
This is just garbage. It's a heaping garbage. Oh my gosh. I was so frustrated by it. And so anyway, that's my movie review of hot frosty.
00:34:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, sounds good.
00:34:03
Kendahl
And I'm going to step down. I'm going to, I'm going to step down on my my pedestal here.
00:34:07
Julian Contreras Jr
It is number one in Netflix movies right now.
00:34:09
Kendahl
i People you, I don't, I don't know. i I don't know what's hurt you for that to be a number one. That's so bad.
00:34:16
Julian Contreras Jr
I think it's Lacey Chabay, right? Is that how you say her name?
00:34:20
Kendahl
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, isn't she in like every one of those Hallmark Christmas movies?
00:34:27
Kendahl
Oh, yeah. And you know, what's so funny is there's a scene where she sees Lindsay Lindsay Lohan on another Netflix movie. And she's like, huh, she looks just like a girl I went to high school with.
00:34:37
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice. See, that's funny.
00:34:38
Kendahl
That is funny. That's the only funny part of the whole 25 minutes I watched. Oh my gosh. um Okay, so we're done with that. I will say there is one other thing I did turn on in this timeframe and that was the show, What If on ah on Disney Plus.
00:34:58
Kendahl
So it's, it's a whole series.
00:34:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:34:59
Kendahl
They've got several episodes, a couple of seasons. These are what if, and it's the, what if things were a little bit different in the MCU universe from what we saw in the movies because something else happened differently.
00:35:12
Kendahl
And, um, I, I really, I enjoyed it. I watched, I watched a couple of episodes. I did watch one about the zombie um apocalypse basically. And Iron Man is a zombie.
00:35:22
Kendahl
Captain America is a zombie. That's kind of cool to watch.
00:35:26
Kendahl
So. Uh, so side note, don't see hot frosty. Go turn on what if, you know, what I apologize.
00:35:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:35:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice.
00:35:37
Kendahl
I apologize. If there's any of you out there that is listening and you went, Hey, I watched it. I kind of enjoyed it. I apologize immensely. I don't know who hurt you to enjoy this as well, but I would love to know why.
00:35:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Thanks. Well, im I'm kind of sorry I asked.
00:35:53
Kendahl
Sorry. but No, no, no, it's funny. I'm glad that I was able to come back and and, and, you know, spar off a little bit of my high horse moment for just absolute disgusting media that we can throw out there and then be number one somehow on Netflix.
00:36:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yup. Okay.
00:36:15
Kendahl
yeah
00:36:16
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. I don't know how I'm gonna follow that up.
00:36:17
Kendahl
ah what a Oh, you, you could follow, you have a lot of good stuff to follow up. Bring it on.
00:36:23
Julian Contreras Jr
i bring Yeah, that's a good movie.
00:36:24
Kendahl
There we go. Right.
00:36:27
Julian Contreras Jr
All right, so I'm gonna jump right into it. It's kind of a ticket stub or snub, and it's also the secret movie series from Cinemark. That's pretty much the last thing I have.
00:36:34
Kendahl
I am so excited for this.
00:36:37
Julian Contreras Jr
So go into the theater, the screen is completely off, and I'm wondering if they're even gonna play any trailers, because sometimes you watch those nostalgic movies and then they just start them right right away.
00:36:48
Kendahl
Right.
00:36:49
Julian Contreras Jr
There's no previews just right away. Um, that was not the case. Maria Menounos ended up on the screen doing her new V ads and all that stuff.
00:36:57
Kendahl
Okay.
00:37:00
Julian Contreras Jr
And then they did show some trailers. And, uh, when I was thinking, I was like, if it's going to be a trailer, is it not going to be the movie? Cause they were showing some good stuff.
00:37:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Like I Wolfman was on the trailer, a new one. I got a new trailer. Sorry. The same Wolfman coming out next month, but no new trailer. still looks pretty awesome ah there's another trailer that they showed twice for some reason ah Munich it's called something else but it's about the Munich thing that one looks really really good pretty fun and then it starts the movie now in the email it did say that all I was gonna give you was the rating no genre or whatever so right after all the Cinemark ads like okay here comes the movie
00:37:29
Kendahl
Okay. Okay.
00:37:44
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:37:52
Julian Contreras Jr
It's showing the credits, and right away it shows Paramount, and I'm like, okay, well that doesn't really narrow it down.
00:37:58
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:38:00
Julian Contreras Jr
But the next one up was Scott Free Entertainment.
00:38:05
Kendahl
Okay.
00:38:07
Julian Contreras Jr
So I was like, Scott Free, it's gonna be Gladiator.
00:38:11
Kendahl
Right.
00:38:11
Julian Contreras Jr
It's Gladiator 2.
00:38:12
Kendahl
Yep.
00:38:13
Julian Contreras Jr
Sure enough, it was Gladiator 2.
00:38:15
Kendahl
Wow.
00:38:16
Julian Contreras Jr
That's what I wanted to see when I left the house. I even told my wife, I was like, hey,
00:38:19
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:38:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Here's the information, I really hope it's Gladiator 2, because I really want to see it, but I know it's going to be a crazy weekend.
00:38:29
Kendahl
I think you and I, and even in our conversation, I said I wonder if it would be gladiator too.
00:38:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, so I mean it comes out this weekend, so it wasn't too much in advance, but it's obviously ahead of time.
00:38:40
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:38:44
Julian Contreras Jr
So, super looking forward to this movie. I was gonna see it this weekend, after Wicked. We'll get to Wicked in a little bit. But I was gonna try to sneak away and go see this at some point.
00:38:57
Julian Contreras Jr
So, where to begin?
00:39:00
Kendahl
Oh, Correct.
00:39:00
Julian Contreras Jr
I wasn't i wasn't prepared for Gladiator 2, because I wanted to get my facts straight with Gladiator 1. Because I had seen that multiple times, but a while back.
00:39:12
Julian Contreras Jr
Right away, it's like during the opening credits, they're doing the whole, this person's in it, this person, this person. But at the same time, they're showing in like artistic comic book style, what happened in the first one.
00:39:25
Julian Contreras Jr
It shows Maximus, it shows the battles, just quick little snippets of it.
00:39:25
Kendahl
Okay.
00:39:30
Julian Contreras Jr
And so it's catching you up.
00:39:30
Kendahl
Okay. All right.
00:39:33
Julian Contreras Jr
So that was super cool. I was like, oh yeah, that part happened, that part of it. And then it goes right into a battle scene. And it's, it's a gorgeous movie.
00:39:44
Julian Contreras Jr
I like it. The fights are awesome. The, the ships coming in and the trebuchet throwing like oil and fire and stuff.
00:39:51
Kendahl
Oh, cool.
00:39:52
Julian Contreras Jr
All super cool. The stylized fighting that they're going for it. Cause you know, gladiator is going to be swords. It's going to be axes, body parts falling off. It doesn't go to the 300 extreme or to the Spartacus extreme where it's like,
00:40:09
Julian Contreras Jr
boy splatter all over the screen.
00:40:11
Kendahl
This doesn't say this screen is is covered.
00:40:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, so it's tasteful violence if I want to give it anything.
00:40:19
Kendahl
Okay.
00:40:21
Julian Contreras Jr
So right away I noticed that it's not going to be over the top.
00:40:26
Julian Contreras Jr
The names of the characters, like Maximus, we all remember Maximus.
00:40:31
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:40:32
Julian Contreras Jr
It's so easy to say and remember. I'll tell you what, the name of these Actors that I'm gonna read off here. I'm not even gonna put them down because I want you to try to figure out what they're saying They give them such complex names That it's just kind of weird So I'm gonna it's Ridley Scott obviously back to direct to Connie Nielsen is back as Lucilla.
00:40:44
Kendahl
Okay.
00:40:49
Kendahl
Okay.
00:40:52
Kendahl
Great.
00:40:59
Julian Contreras Jr
I will say you that one She's the only one that's coming back from the first movie.
00:41:01
Kendahl
Okay.
00:41:04
Kendahl
from the first one. Yeah.
00:41:04
Julian Contreras Jr
She's obviously the mother of
00:41:06
Kendahl
Mm hmm.
00:41:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:41:08
Kendahl
That's that's that that's the connection between the two films.
00:41:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:41:12
Kendahl
OK.
00:41:12
Julian Contreras Jr
And it's got Paul Maskell.
00:41:13
Kendahl
a
00:41:15
Julian Contreras Jr
He's the new hero. You got Denzel Washington. Awesome. Pedro Pascal. Super awesome. Joseph Quinn.
00:41:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Do you know that name?
00:41:29
Kendahl
Um, yes and no, I can't, I can't pinpoint what I've seen him in, but I know the name.
00:41:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:41:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Eddie Munson from Stranger Things, long hair, super hellfire club.
00:41:38
Kendahl
Oh, wow. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, he, he played in, uh, the quiet place, um, in the, the more recent one.
00:41:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Yep. Yeah, and I couldn't really recognize him in that until I was like really staring at his face.
00:41:51
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:41:52
Julian Contreras Jr
But in this one, you can totally see, because ah him and his twin brother, ah his name is Fred. I want to butcher this snap last name. I think it's Heckinger, maybe?
00:42:03
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:42:05
Julian Contreras Jr
But he is the younger brother from White Lotus season one of Sydney Sweeney.
00:42:10
Kendahl
Oh, Oh wow.
00:42:13
Julian Contreras Jr
So they are...
00:42:13
Kendahl
Well, it's been a few years. So I can, I was like, wait a second, but he was, I can see that. Okay.
00:42:18
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, well, I mean, it hasn't been a few years for me, because I watch White Lotus all the time.
00:42:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Don't know why, but they played twin emperors.
00:42:25
Kendahl
Okay.
00:42:29
Julian Contreras Jr
They're twins, all right?
00:42:29
Kendahl
Oh yeah. Right.
00:42:32
Julian Contreras Jr
So their names are kind of weird and they're off. They're like super chalky face, I think, is what they're going for.
00:42:39
Kendahl
Mhmm. Okay.
00:42:43
Julian Contreras Jr
I like them in their roles. I really like Pedro as his. My only gripe with this movie is that the characters ah flip-flopped like you're supposed to be a bad guy.
00:42:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh wait, you're a good guy, but I'm supposed to forget what you did at the beginning of the movie.
00:43:00
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:43:03
Julian Contreras Jr
And then you got Denzel who is like all blinged out with like the robes and he's got multiple rings and he's just showing off his wealth basically. And
00:43:13
Kendahl
So I heard, I just really quickly, I heard some people, um, one of the reviews that I read about it, it was an early screening said that that was actually kind of detracting from who he was because it was so obviously out of timeframe.
00:43:26
Kendahl
Like it just didn't seem like it fit the time.
00:43:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Wearing all that stuff garb and everything.
00:43:31
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:43:33
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it was a little it was odd I noticed it because he's constantly having to pull his robes and tokas up like every time he walks you can see him like move a shoulder or flip it all the way over because it's he's turned too fast and his necklaces are
00:43:40
Kendahl
Okay.
00:43:50
Julian Contreras Jr
ah flying everywhere. And he's got like 12 rings on 10 fingers. Figure that one out.
00:43:57
Julian Contreras Jr
um He does the same thing. The character arcs. So I don't want to give too much away. I did like the movie a lot. It obviously was not Gladiator one. That's like a nine out of 10. Just a classic.
00:44:13
Kendahl
Oh, yeah, great movie.
00:44:14
Julian Contreras Jr
So I myself give it a seven out of 10. I will still give it a ticket stub.
00:44:17
Kendahl
Okay.
00:44:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Definitely go watch it. You're gonna like it. The fight scenes are awesome. What they do inside the arena is awesome when they fill it with water and there's sharks and there's a boat fight.
00:44:27
Kendahl
Oh, yeah.
00:44:31
Julian Contreras Jr
That's super fun. The story is like very complex.
00:44:42
Kendahl
Okay.
00:44:42
Julian Contreras Jr
without being complex. Like, if you know what I'm saying at all, you're like, once you see it, you're gonna know what I'm saying.
00:44:45
Kendahl
Yeah, I gotcha. yeah
00:44:49
Julian Contreras Jr
But, so I did enjoy my very first secret movie series from Cinemark.
00:44:54
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:44:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Thank you for the invite and everything like that. Gladiator two, seven out of 10. Definitely go see it this weekend because um of what it's coming out with.
00:45:06
Kendahl
Yeah. ah Well, ah so really quickly, the funny thing, I was just looking just curiosity. So early reviews of Gladiator 2, 75%.
00:45:18
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, so right on right on track.
00:45:19
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
00:45:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:45:21
Kendahl
Yeah. So yeah. So,
Anticipation for Upcoming Releases
00:45:23
Kendahl
okay. Going into the the more interesting movie this weekend, Wicked. So, I'm i'm excited for it.
00:45:33
Kendahl
um I have Uh, a couple of, uh, some of the ladies that work there also going to go see this weekend. I think this movie is going to be kind of the movie to beat this year.
00:45:45
Kendahl
Um, I feel like this is going to be a big weekend. It's just before Thanksgiving. And so a lot of people are going to be wanting to, to, you know, get that out before the holiday starts.
00:45:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm
00:45:56
Kendahl
But, um, I feel like this movie is going to just blow up the charts.
00:46:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's gonna make a ton of money I feel because obviously the history behind it the Broadway presence that it brings the names that are in this movie I Mean Ariana Grande as her real name, which I don't I'm not sure of I
00:46:17
Kendahl
yeah
00:46:19
Julian Contreras Jr
You got must go faster from Jurassic Park.
00:46:22
Kendahl
Yeah Yep Well, and um One of the things that I I did not know is um There's a second part coming out.
00:46:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Jeff Goldblum.
00:46:34
Kendahl
This is two parts.
00:46:34
Julian Contreras Jr
How did you not know that?
00:46:35
Kendahl
I don't know. I don't know how I didn't know that and
00:46:38
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just going to wrap up a whole movie now.
00:46:40
Kendahl
Well, I mean, I was thinking that's kind of crazy to to put a, ah you know, a play like Wicked into a single film, but um I guess I just didn't think about it. And so I'm kind of, ah I'm also in that struggle of, dang, I had to wait another, and we're going to have to wait another whole year because the the plan right now is for it to release again next year, just prior to Thanksgiving.
00:47:02
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. I can see that. Yeah. I don't know where it's going to leave off. So you might be a huge cliffhanger for those that don't know the story.
00:47:11
Kendahl
So to what I have read is that when she is when she leaves.
00:47:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Just leave it at that because we have listeners that probably don't know what Wicked is.
00:47:20
Kendahl
So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:26
Julian Contreras Jr
ah Obviously going in, know that it is going to be a musical. There's going to be singing.
00:47:31
Kendahl
ah Yeah.
00:47:33
Julian Contreras Jr
There's going to be dancing for no reason.
00:47:33
Kendahl
Don't don't don't get surprised like ah Joker.
00:47:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:47:40
Kendahl
This is a musical people.
00:47:43
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:47:44
Kendahl
Well, you know.
00:47:44
Julian Contreras Jr
It's hopefully a really good one. I'm excited for it. We're all going. We're taking my sister-in-law. So.
00:47:52
Kendahl
Um, uh, kind of on the musical side, you know, it's funny when I went and saw Les Miserables, I was 100% knowing that it was a musical. I, I guess what was interesting to me though, was that it was such a musical where they like sing about getting the mail that how I was like, Oh, okay.
00:48:14
Kendahl
ah Because, you know, I mean, you there are there's there's musicals, right? There's musicals. And we can kind of throw down a little bit of the like Disney element of musicals, right?
00:48:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm hmm.
00:48:24
Kendahl
Where there's there's music every, you know, two or three scenes. And then there's Les Miserables, where it is the movie. it's just they so Or like the greatest showman, where the majority of everything you're watching is just in song.
00:48:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:48:43
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, exactly.
00:48:43
Kendahl
So yeah, uh, I'm excited for it. Um, we're worse. So I, I, we were talking about it before. So you're going to go see it on Thursday night. Um, I'm going to see it on Friday night because the Thursday night tickets, um, they were too, I think they were like, what's that?
00:49:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Scares?
00:49:02
Kendahl
ah Yeah, so it was so hard to to find two seats for my wife and I to sit next to each other in the theater. And um the only other option was like, I think it was like a 930 showing or something like that.
00:49:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:49:16
Kendahl
And I still got to get up for work in the morning. So
