Defining Nepotism and Introductions
00:00:14
Speaker
Nepotism. Noun. The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs. Welcome to Lost in the Frame.
00:00:25
Speaker
I'm your host, Hachi. I'm your host, Alex.
Would You Want to be a 'Nepo Baby'?
00:00:28
Speaker
I'm your host, Malik. Would you... I'll open up with a question. Would you guys like to be a nepo baby? Yes. Yes. Oh
Privileged Life and Personal Values
00:00:37
Speaker
God. Absolutely. Are you kidding me? episode purely comes from a place of jealousy. What?
00:00:43
Speaker
Would I want an easier or a harder life? It's a tough question, I know.
00:00:50
Speaker
i I don't know. what We can get deep.
Degrees of Nepotism and Hollywood Perceptions
00:00:53
Speaker
um we were I'm sure my values would be different if I was granted a lot more um privilege and and ease of struggle.
00:01:05
Speaker
Well, I think, I mean, let me reframe the question. Who's Nepo baby am I? I think that i think that would change because there's a lot of Nepo babies where it's like their parent is like, like, OK, I guess like, yeah yeah, they'd have like connections, and but it's not like they're like, oh, my God, that's, you know, like the Queen of England's kid or something. It's just like, oh, his dad was like a producer in back in the day. It's like I feel like there's degrees to Nepo baby in terms of like it being a derogatory term.
00:01:38
Speaker
There definitely are. I think we could answer that question towards the end of this episode ah once we have our whole conversation around the state of Nepo babies, our feelings, and some fun trivia and games along the way as we discover our feelings
Judgment Based on Actions, Not Background
00:01:53
Speaker
about Nepo babies. But how do you guys feel about Nepo babies in Hollywood?
00:01:58
Speaker
Do you hate them? Do you love them? Or do you not care? It's a case-by-case basis. Agreed. We'll put it that way. um I don't think anyone should be judged on who their parents are.
Using Privilege Responsibly
00:02:10
Speaker
And I think it's, you know, people are born with inherent privilege over others based on, you know, their parents' position in society. know, it's not to be argued. It's just the fact of the matter is like reality of the world.
00:02:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, we're not as privileged as some Nepo babies, but we're you know probably more privileged than, you know, other people.
Success on Merit: Notable 'Nepo Babies'
00:02:30
Speaker
it's there's There's a varying scale to it, you know. But I think it's really more so how they use their leverage and what they do with it is where I start to judge.
00:02:43
Speaker
um And we'll get into this more, but there's a lot of Nippo babies that it's like they're there' fantastic. Like they would have, you know, They if it was really just about merit, they still would have gotten there.
00:02:57
Speaker
You know, ah agree. um Now good list of Neppo babies that I appreciate. Yeah. And like there's a lot of just fantastic people. and I mean, it is the case for everything like. But it's really especially in Hollywood nowadays, seems like they're everywhere.
00:03:13
Speaker
And it's how do you use it? How do you use, you know, the levers that you get?
Historical Impact of Warner Brothers and Others
00:03:19
Speaker
And how do you, you know, are you even actually any good at what you're trying to do? So we can talk about it.
00:03:26
Speaker
But Tachi, what are your thoughts? I'm inclined to agree. um Can't make a blanket statement on a population of people. So ah just depends on what they do, what they represent, and the quality of whatever they're doing.
00:03:43
Speaker
Yeah, I think there have definitely been cases of nepotism where we see maybe they don't really acknowledge the places that they come from and maybe based off their merit, it's not too great. But on the flip side, you've got the ones who clearly have a love for what they're doing and want to stand out in a sea of what could be considered a crutch. But I mean, if it was me, man.
00:04:09
Speaker
I'd like it. Yes. ah I mean, that's not the question. I know, I know. If I could suddenly be worth millions of dollars.
00:04:21
Speaker
it's a small It's a small thing that I'm asking. Oh, hey, Dad, can you put me in a movie? Can I get a small loan? Can you jumpstart my entire career?
Murdochs and Media Influence
00:04:32
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, sure, son. ah We're going to start off this conversation by talking about some Hollywood royalty. Quite a few yeah quite a few families here that I wasn't even aware of.
00:04:47
Speaker
I'll start with this one. This is a Vanity Fair article. This one includes the Warner Brothers. The titular Warner Brothers, Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner. I'll just pause right there.
00:04:58
Speaker
I didn't realize that Warner were actually Warner Brothers. i Yeah. I just wouldn't think of that. Like I see the logo Warner Brothers and I go, Bugs Bunny.
00:05:11
Speaker
I never think one day, long time ago, these were men. They built one of the first major Hollywood studios on the power of a dog. What does that mean? Like from nothing?
00:05:23
Speaker
Wouldn't that Benedict Cumberbatch movie? Yeah. Yeah.
Coppola Family's Film Legacy
00:05:26
Speaker
So they built off the back of that movie, you know, just a hundred years in the past. Nepotism nepotism. After they incorporated their company in 1923, they discovered a trained German shepherd named Rin Tin Tin.
00:05:39
Speaker
Okay, so literally off of a dog. This dog became a breakout box office success and paved the way financially for them to take a big risk with the release of the first talkie film in 1927, Singer.
00:05:51
Speaker
the jazz singer Their gamble paid off. The sound era began and Warner Brothers continues to this day as one of Hollywood's cornerstone studios. Apparently that movie is like really racist.
00:06:03
Speaker
The jazz singer? Yeah. Based off the year and based off the title, I can't say I'm surprised. They, uh, it, it came up when I was watching, uh, I think singing in the rain. They talk about it.
00:06:17
Speaker
um was like, Oh, like what's this movie about? And looked it up and I was like, Oh,
Celebrity 'Nepo Baby' Game
00:06:21
Speaker
Oh, is there any like blackface? I think there is. Oh my God. All right. Warner Brothers are on thin ice.
00:06:29
Speaker
The jazz singer.
00:06:32
Speaker
Bugs bunny lock your doors. Let me hit the reviews. It's the first review. Half star on Letterboxd. This is our whatever that segment's called for this episode. We're not actually talking about a movie.
00:06:46
Speaker
It's not even a talkie. They just sing like two songs and do blackface and that's the whole thing.
00:06:55
Speaker
Interesting. Well, what do you do? What family did you guys want to shout out? Shout out the Murdochs.
00:07:05
Speaker
and They need more coverage. Who are the Murdochs? Basically the the family that owns Fox. um the The whole mega corporation.
00:07:16
Speaker
um We love mega corporations here. Yeah. Uh, so Rupert Murdoch was basically the OG came from Australia, went to, I think England and then eventually over to America and, uh, worked his way up the media tree and, uh, founded, but I don't know if you founded Fox news. so This is really great podcasting right now.
00:07:42
Speaker
Um, essentially owned and ran Fox news into what it is today. Um, and as part of that, he owned a studio, uh, Fox searchlight and Fox searchlight has actually been really successful, in the box office and with critics.
00:08:00
Speaker
Um, there's several best picture winners, um, like slumdog millionaire bird, man, shape of water, nomad land, 12 years a slave, lot of other notable films as well.
00:08:12
Speaker
um So really successful in Hollywood, and but ultimately ah just a family, you know, based on just media in general, not solely Hollywood.
00:08:27
Speaker
Yeah, you brought up a good point before we started recording. This is very succession coded. Yeah, that they are exactly who succession is based off of. They actually really just figured out like the their version of it today or yesterday.
00:08:43
Speaker
what What do you They ended that whole struggle. That whole succession, like who's going to be the next one up, you know who's going to inherit, who's how they going to figure it all out? That was completely based off like the Murdoch situation.
00:08:56
Speaker
Whoa. Also, they do have a hand in Fox News, like a very big hand. They're not well-liked on certain wings of the political spectrum.
00:09:08
Speaker
He has, ah Rupert Murdoch has six children, but I think really three are the the notable ones, um kind of like in succession. Very interesting. I wonder if they've seen the show and what they think.
00:09:22
Speaker
I'm sure they've seen it. Who's the Logan Roy? I got to find out who the Logan Roy is over there. It's got to be Rupert. L to the OG.
00:09:33
Speaker
Not the Logan Royce. Sorry, I meant Kendall. Kendall. Yeah, who's the Kendall? Someone super cool. And really chill. Shout out the eldest boy. I'm the eldest boy.
00:09:49
Speaker
the ah The family I would like to shout out is the Coppolas. Let's go. Not just ah because I'm Italian and I have to.
00:10:02
Speaker
um But I mean, the Coplas are, feel like they're like the Italian family in movies. Yeah. And they go way deeper than you think. um in terms of who is part of them.
00:10:16
Speaker
So, I mean, some of the names, so obviously, you know, Francis Ford Coppola is like the patriarch of the family, you know director of Godfather, you know, part one, two, three, ah the conversation, Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders, you know megalopolis all all movies most good um but the family goes well beyond that i mean you have roman coppola who does you know production and like music video directing he directed a lot of like the early daft punk music videos um so like or i think he directed
00:10:56
Speaker
um I know he directed like Burnin. um and He did fresh. ah don't remember if he did the around a world video or not. um Again, great podcasting.
00:11:06
Speaker
um ah Now I got to check. But some of the other members of this family. OK, no, he did Revolution 909.
00:11:18
Speaker
For Daft Punk, it was not fresh. Jeez, I was completely wrong. That's just... Wow. No one here going to fact check to you. It's okay. Turn us off, guys. I'm telling you. Um...
00:11:30
Speaker
You have sofiia Coppola. She is a director in her own right. Absolutely fantastic. ah Lost in Translation is one of my favorite movies of all time. Marie Antoinette is very highly regarded as well.
00:11:43
Speaker
You know, a fun little ah side quest of the Coppola family is she is married to guy named Thomas Mars, who is the lead singer
Nepotism Dynamics and Personal Opinions
00:11:54
Speaker
of a band called Phoenix.
00:11:57
Speaker
No way. Yeah. Which was to say you guys have probably heard of ah considering 1901 is a huge song and another even bigger fun fact. And I wonder if this is how these two got together.
00:12:08
Speaker
One of the members of Phoenix, I believe it's their guitarist or their bassist. Um, is was in a punk band called darlin they're they're like the phoenix is from france i don't know if you knew that but a french punk band called darlin which produced one song it was a trio of music members uh darlin broke up after their first album got um panned and the other two guys uh giman well de home and cristo and thomas bangalter went on and formed a little music duo called daft punk
00:12:43
Speaker
What? Yeah. Wow. And um they actually got the name from one of the reviews of the Darlin record that called the music like a bunch of like made by a bunch of Daft Punk's.
00:12:57
Speaker
That's cool. That is so interesting. Back to the Coppolas. Some of the other family members that are notable in this one are Gia Coppola, who just directed the Pam Anderson movie that came out last year, The Last Showgirl.
00:13:12
Speaker
um That was Gia. Couple names that you might not have known were Coppola's. Some guy named Nicholas Kim Coppola, a.k.a. Nicholas Cage, is a Coppola.
00:13:23
Speaker
Changed his name because he wanted to kind of be his own man, break away from the family name and, you know, act his way for it. But he is he is a Coppola. I respect him for doing that. um Married into the family was a man named Jack Schwartzman. He married ah Talia Rose Coppola and they had a son named Jason Schwartzman.
00:13:46
Speaker
What? Wow. That's crazy. easy ah So this family runs deep and there's another generation on the way. um You have Sofia Coppola's daughter, Romy Mars.
00:14:01
Speaker
Gia Coppola is born in 87, so she's pretty young. you know, Nick Cage's kids. Which one of them is named Kal-El? Cool. right Shout out Superman.
00:14:15
Speaker
yeah And he almost played Superman once. What? Nicolas Cage almost played Superman once. You guys remember in the flash when there was the CGI Nick Cage Superman? Oh my God. That entire sequence was such dog shit.
00:14:29
Speaker
I'm really glad I didn't watch it. you Yeah. It's you missed nothing. It's actually like such a mid movie that it wasn't even like bad enough to be like this is laughably bad.
00:14:44
Speaker
Do you remember like right before it came out publicly, once all the press screenings were happening, there was a lot of people. And i the first person that comes to mind is Stephen King that were like praising this movie like it was.
00:14:59
Speaker
I do remember that. Something i like remember, like people were trying like really hard to hype it up. the Like the flashes, it's something else. It's a level above. And it's like I fell for the hype.
00:15:10
Speaker
I did too. Like, really a little bit. because I think I was skeptical. And then one too many positive reviews came out. Yeah, yeah. Like, I went to the theater and I was like, all right, Stephen King, what do you what do you think?
00:15:26
Speaker
He clearly was back on the coke.
00:15:29
Speaker
They had some deep pockets in getting anybody to say anything nice about that movie. mean, was coming through the ringer with the whole Ezra Miller situation. I'm so sure that they just paid people to say was good because of the Ezra Miller situation.
00:15:44
Speaker
Probably. Did Zack Snyder use up all his goodwill on Watchmen and 300 and that was it? Maybe. Probably. He cooked so hard for those two movies and then completely fell apart after. He's got a movie in the works.
00:16:02
Speaker
Let me find it real quick. I remember reading like the synopsis and I was ah thought that this sounded interesting. i think it was called I think it's The Fountainhead. Hopefully there's a synopsis. Of the Ayn Rand novel?
00:16:16
Speaker
Yeah, feature adaptation of Ayn Rand's novel about a young architect battling for his own artistic integrity. That's not going to ruffle any feathers. um Moving on.
00:16:26
Speaker
We should just not. All right. It's time for our first game then. This game is simple, guys. It's called Nepo Baby or not. I'm going to read an actor or actress.
00:16:38
Speaker
You both will tell me if you think if they are a Nepo Baby or if they are not. If they are, you also have to tell me who their parents are. No. okay There's no points. This is just vibes.
00:16:50
Speaker
Points don't matter. Points don't matter.

00:17:56
Speaker
His dad, Mark, was a journalist, and his mom, Nicole, is a professional dancer. But... See, that's like... But... That's a stretch. This one is a stretch. yeah Nicole's brother, his uncle, is Rodman Flender, and aunt is Amy Littman. Rodman Flender is a like producer and director of a number of TV shows, and Amy Littman is also a producer of a TV Sounds like Simpsons character.
00:18:20
Speaker
Flender? Yeah. Yeah. I feel like if it's like someone once removed is like, oh, like, you know, that's just like a normal like connection. That's not really like. Yeah, that's why I said not really.
00:18:33
Speaker
Yeah. like But some of his family is in the industry. Like people always call Amy Schumer a Nepo baby. And I'm not like an Amy Schumer defender.

00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah, and not in a derogatory way, in a very like confident, positive way. We stand on you on this pod. so We do. Yeah, she is not a Nepo baby.

00:20:25
Speaker
ah Who is it? I remember him talking. Was it Robert Pattinson? And I think it was. And um like one or two other pretty famous guys. It's so crazy when I hear stories like that.

00:23:13
Speaker
Run through a brick wall? Yeah. You could do it. i got ah got two more for you guys. This one's easy. Is Jack Quaid an Epo Baby? Yes. I bring this one up.

Speaker
Who are his parents? Dennis Quaid and his mom is whoever Dennis Quaid married. Come on. Don't look it up. Don't look at it Hold on. Hold on. You got Itachi.
00:23:37
Speaker
I knew you were going to ask about this one too when I saw like what we were doing today. yeah and Oh. Meg Ryan. Meg Ryan. I brought this one up. I've known this one for a while, but when I first found out, that's one where my mind was blown.
00:23:51
Speaker
I just don't make the connection sometimes with last names, even though it's right there. It's in the pudding. They don't look too similar either, so i guess I kind of, I see it. But like with yeah Wyatt Russell and... um Kurt Russell?
00:24:04
Speaker
Yeah, Kurt Russell. It's pretty obvious. Oh, yeah. All right, last one. Is Florence Pugh a Nepo baby? No. Probably not. She is not a Nepo baby.
00:24:16
Speaker
Her dad is a restaurateur, and her mom is an aerobics instructor. Good job, Florence. Great job, Florence. Um, Andrew Garfield does give me Nepo baby vibes. Same.
00:24:30
Speaker
Anyone who I could imagine in like a Brooklyn coffee shop that used to be like someone's house and then got gentrified into Brooklyn coffee shop is like it just screams Nepo baby to me. You know, I get what you mean.
00:24:47
Speaker
now we're going to make some case studies on Nepo babies. The good, the bad and the interesting. um We were saying before we recorded kind of hard to find bad Nepo babies.
00:24:58
Speaker
Did you guys, were you able to find any? I have a few. You have a few? I got some. Okay. I have actually more than the ones that I put down that I love. Wow. All right. I'll start with one of my goods.
00:25:12
Speaker
Margaret Qualley. She was on my list. As a bad? As a good. Okay. There we go. We like Margaret. Yeah. She's cool.
00:25:23
Speaker
Who you guys got? i I liked Margaret a lot. What was the first thing you saw with her? Because mine was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Mine was the Nice Guys. Oh, she was in that.
00:25:36
Speaker
Yeah. I guess that's technically my first thing that I... The first thing where I actually picked up on her. yeah Yeah, that doesn't count. Okay, well, you asked me. On a technicality, it does count.
00:25:48
Speaker
Okay, well, there's the technicality for me, too. Like, the first movie that I, like, became conscious of who Margaret Qualley was was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yes. It actually wasn't a movie for me. It was her Netflix show Made.
00:26:02
Speaker
I saw that before I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I've heard that's good. Very depressing, just so you know. I think I watched the first episode and I wasn't in a place to watch something that sad and it felt really sad.
00:26:15
Speaker
It stays sad. so Okay. Yeah, based off the first episode, I couldn't see things getting much better. What you guys got? Good or bad? and Good.
00:26:28
Speaker
I already said his name, but why Russell?
00:26:32
Speaker
He's impressing me. He's impressing me the more I see him. I think he'll be one to just kind of keep a lookout for for future projects. I'd be excited to see what else he does. I feel like he's he's got something in him. He's he's primed for a breakout within the next five years.
00:26:48
Speaker
I agree. Like a true prediction. He had a little too much sauce for a Marvel movie in terms of acting chops. You think? Yeah, some of those some of those Captain America scenes and the Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
00:27:03
Speaker
Some some Disney exec was like, dude, tone it down. Like you can't you can't cook this hard, man. You're not supposed to kill the terrorist and then make them feel sympathetic. It's like it's in the script.
00:27:19
Speaker
I already said mine, too. But Sofia Coppola, one of my favorite directors top Sofia Coppola as well. top five directors for me. I just love her. I at least like all her movies, all the movies I've seen by her, if not love and lost in translation. is's just one of my favorite movies.
00:27:37
Speaker
It's one of those movies that not only do I think it's great on like a quality perspective, um but it's also like influenced my music taste a ton. um And I think she handpicked like all of it.
00:27:49
Speaker
um And then just, you know, and She's got like a really good eye for like fashion and movies and shots and, you know, vibes and aesthetics. think she kind of pioneered a lot of like that vibes maxing stuff.
00:28:05
Speaker
And i don't think she gets ah enough credit for it. You know, she she cultivated a great atmosphere and
Controversial Figures: Debate on 'Nepo Babies'
00:28:12
Speaker
vibe in her movies. And i think a lot of people now are trying to copy it because it's like trendy and cool.
00:28:18
Speaker
um Yeah. And she, I don't think she gets enough credit for it, but I mean, she brought out it's such a great script for loss in translation. It's it won the Oscar for best original screenplay. And it, I would love to own a copy of that screenplay one day.
00:28:34
Speaker
That's how much I love it. um I think it's one of Bill Murray's best performances ever that she pulled out of him. And the ending scene is just absolutely perfect. I don't think anyone else could have done it better.
00:28:47
Speaker
I'm going to say something controversial. You've never seen Lost in Translation. We've been over this for like four years. Me neither. Okay. Okay. All right. Because it wasn't that controversial. Oh, no. It's controversial. It's controversial.
00:29:01
Speaker
We're having words. don't Don't think you escaped this, Tashi. I heard that. I heard that. Maybe we need to have Lost in Translation and and Heat double feature. I'm going to... That sounds great.
00:29:14
Speaker
I'm going to...
00:29:17
Speaker
How would you I'll let you leave when the movie finishes. Just locks the door. one's going anywhere. It's like you can leave once the videotape ends. Like.
00:29:30
Speaker
show. There's a show I watched one episode of and then. Yeah, I think I watched one episode of that. Same. It was really good. and I was like, I don't need to see Netflix turn this into nine episodes. Yeah. And I think that we're getting more from Ryan Murphy.
00:29:43
Speaker
Like more murder. series ah at Netflix i' ryanmer did it out didn't he do the um the Menendez brothers one I believe so but I think they got more like a MCU like a murder cinematic universe you think they're all going to team up
00:30:06
Speaker
John Wayne Gacy what are you doing here get behind me John I got this
00:30:15
Speaker
think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Zodiac Killer.
00:30:21
Speaker
um I also had Nicolas Cage, Jack Quaid, and Dakota Johnson for my good. You like Dakota Johnson. That's controversial. I got something spicy. That I like Dakota Johnson?
00:30:33
Speaker
Dakota's in my bad. I was just having this conversation. I was just having this conversation. I think Dakota Johnson is good with the proper script. Yes.
00:30:44
Speaker
Because I think she plays herself. Yes. Like... um ah Who I thinking of? Like, Madam Web, she can do that.
00:30:56
Speaker
kind of like an Owen Wilson. He kind of plays himself. She's not really particularly good in anything. Like, she's never really stood out to me. Yeah. But she's afforded a lot of opportunities.
00:31:07
Speaker
My favorite movie with her in it is the Peanut Butter Falcon, the Shia LaBeouf one with the Kim with Down Syndrome. And she is not the best. She's, like, at least the third best actress and or actor or actress in that movie.
00:31:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not convinced she has range. I like her in Peanut Butter Falcon. Suspiria. and But my problem with that is anyone could have been her in Peanut Butter Falcon. Anybody.
00:31:35
Speaker
True. How about me? Tashi, you would have been beautiful in Peanut Butter Falcon as Dakota Johnson. I really like her in Cha-Cha Real Smooth. Now making stuff up.
00:31:47
Speaker
And I think the movie, I think the performance in the movie that won me over with her was Our Friend. With her, Dakota Johnson, Casey Affleck, and Jason Segel.
00:32:00
Speaker
I love that movie. Okay, but let me raise you that she was in need for speed. You just added points in my head. Good for her. She was Anita Coleman. I didn't even remember. Apparently Rami Malek was in that movie too. In Need for Speed.
00:32:17
Speaker
I remember Rami Malek more than Dakota Johnson because Rami Malek gets naked in the Ford GM building. Or no, the GM building. No. Some building in Detroit.
00:32:28
Speaker
I'm glad you remember that.
00:32:32
Speaker
I've seen that movie twice. For that scene. Dude. Anyway, I'll shoot for Dakota Johnson. I won't. I'll shoot at. No, I'm. <unk> like Cut that out. just Today of all days.
00:32:47
Speaker
i know.
00:32:54
Speaker
you guys have for your bad? John David Washington. What? Whoa. Really? He's not good. and is not a good actor. He literally.
00:33:05
Speaker
the creator. i Where's the robot? I need to find the creator. Whoa, the creator is actually my wife. Sorry, spoiler.
00:33:18
Speaker
Okay, well, what other John David Washington movie do you want me to do? I think he's in a neutral zone. um I think another example would be like, I don't know, Colin Hanks.
00:33:32
Speaker
They're just like harmless characters. Guys, I think. That don't think really elevate or ruin a movie. I don't think John David Washington has had that role yet.
00:33:46
Speaker
I'm not saying he's great, but I would not put him in bad. Do you like Tenet, Alex? I haven't seen Tenet. Okay. He's got a great line read in Tenet. That makes me me not be able to put him in a bad movie.
00:34:00
Speaker
kind of This isn't me saying like, I hate John David Washington. No, you hate him. I'm just saying like, I don't think he's ah particularly good. I mean, some of the others that I have on my list are people that I actually like.
00:34:14
Speaker
Don't like personally. He's one that I don't think he Like, I just don't think he's doing enough, man. He's just there. He's he's not. you look He's And we.
00:34:26
Speaker
and we One day we're going to get big and we're going to lose opportunities because these old episodes are going to come up. And it's like. We will always be honest. And I think that's why the future will appreciate us.
00:34:42
Speaker
We're getting canceled. We bend no knee.
00:34:48
Speaker
Well, I would actually, it's funny you bring that up. Apparently. Ayoed Abiri had to delete her letterboxd. Because people kept pulling up like old reviews where she would like comment on things. Oh, I saw people were worrying or people were thinking she pulled it because she was getting flack for.
00:35:07
Speaker
Having opinions, you having opinion, and then she would lose. She might have lost work because of it or something like that. That's so stupid. How do you guys feel about Gwyneth Paltrow? I think she's a decent actress. I think she's.
00:35:20
Speaker
Kind of nuts. Yeah. OK. Oh, oh, goop Paltrow.
00:35:26
Speaker
How do you feel about Gwyneth Paltrow? I feel mostly indifferent. I haven't really been swayed one way or the other. She's just kind of a weirdo.
00:35:39
Speaker
Doesn't she have some janky candle line? Yeah, like her vagina. that's what it is? It's all the all the Coop brand, right? Yeah.
00:35:50
Speaker
didn't know that's what it was called. Where were you in 2020? I was there. I just didn't know like the name of the actual. That's why i said Goop Paltrow. What did you think that meant? i don't know. Just making fun of her. Like they both start with the G. It's a joke that worked on its own. I gave you a laugh.
00:36:13
Speaker
Be happy. I am. Yeah. You know, i I guess I got to take it where I can get it um I've been... I mean, I like some of the stuff she's in. like the The role i like her in the most is also the one that gives me the biggest ick.
00:36:29
Speaker
It makes me not like the movie. In Royal Tenenbaums.
00:36:35
Speaker
That whole like incest plotline was... I didn't like that. Yeah, I think I think this movie has come up a couple of times already. i don't like everyone loves it.
00:36:47
Speaker
It's like all this. Wes Anderson's best. Like, no, wait i don't like it. Like, it's like I'm not I'm not I don't I don't jive with what I've seen on the screen here. Like your truth, King. like Stop.
00:36:59
Speaker
I'm going to throw out a name, a last name, actually. OK, these kids, the Smith kids, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's kids. I'm ready to fight. Here we go. Say it.
00:37:09
Speaker
No, you go first.
00:37:13
Speaker
I think Jaden, not good.
00:37:18
Speaker
Willow, I really only know her from that I whip my hair back and forth song. I don't really know what she's done past that. She's great singer. Yeah, you need to. Well, I'm going to tell a bit of a sad story.
00:37:32
Speaker
yeah I hate that song so much because it was on the radio like right when my mom told me my grandfather died. Oh. So she might remember this. It was um Willow? My buddy was over and we we drew we drove him home to drop him off and we had like 92 Pro FM or whatever the um radio station, like the pop music radio station Rhode Island was headed on and it was on.
00:38:00
Speaker
We drop him off and then it's like Mom looks at me and she's like, hey, Papa passed away. And I'm like, oh. She's like, yeah.
00:38:13
Speaker
And that song was on. And so for the rest of my life, I have heard or every time I hear that song, i think about my grandfather dying. Oh, man. And so I've never listened to I've never given any of her music a chance because I just like the way I didn't. I mean, I didn't like that song.
00:38:30
Speaker
It's not a good song. I mean, she was not a good song. She was like 10. Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not holding it against her. It's like, like, I mean, we can all agree that like Rebecca Black Friday, terrible song, but it's like she was like 13. Like, come on. Anyone like hating her? Like she sucks. Like, dude, like.
00:38:45
Speaker
dude like You look back some of like the crap that I made when I was 13 with like a video camera. like we know This kid sucks, man. like None of us have talent at 13.
Baldwins and Hollywood Family Dynamics
00:38:55
Speaker
I'm not judging Willis. I won't judge her for that, but it's just like I have avoided Willis Smith for literally like my entire life because of that one song on that one day.
00:39:05
Speaker
Wow. Now, anyway when you say you hate Jaden, is this as an actor or just in general? I think More so as an actor. Okay.
00:39:20
Speaker
I agree. you I think he was stuffed in there, and I just... I never ever saw anything where I thought his heart was in it. I thought the one album he put out in 2019 was Sire.
00:39:32
Speaker
I love Sire. Sire's great. did I liked it. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it, love it, but I liked it. there's There's a couple good songs on there that I enjoyed. and I love it, love it. It's...
00:39:44
Speaker
In my top 100 albums that are might like my favorite. I like Jaden Smith as ah as a musician. What is that song on it? Lost Boy? i think that's a really good song. last boy iss really good Yeah, as an actor, I can agree with you.
00:40:02
Speaker
Him and Karate Kid did irreparable damage, especially with that song with Justin Bieber. Whoa. Hold on. That's a banger. And this is a hill I will die on.
00:40:15
Speaker
think You think you're bigger than me? Smarter than me? and then big He was like eight. right
00:40:22
Speaker
I do think I'm bigger than you, Jaden. And also, i kind of like his Karate Kid movie. I'm not going to lie. Oh, my God. but To be fair, I have not seen it since like middle school.
00:40:36
Speaker
Okay. But that last fight rips. So does the alleyway fight. It was too long. It was like two and a half hours. That's fair. Like the movie. It's like, why is he in China?
00:40:50
Speaker
like you Getting his ass beat every day. He moves China. like For some reason, he's living in like this like dumpy high-rise.
00:41:03
Speaker
Just getting beaten up by 100 kids every day. I saw a tweet that i was like, if I was jading out of like disown my mom so quick from moving me across the globe and I'm just getting beat up every day.
00:41:17
Speaker
I will say, i think he got a got a bad beat with After Earth, which was a really ah hyped up movie with him and his dad, Will Smith.
00:41:27
Speaker
yeah Because all of the marketing was basically alluding to them like, being a father-son duo for the whole movie it's going be really fun and exciting and then i mean it's a so spoiler kind of but will smith is this movie not really part of the movie whatsoever um so i think jayden uh just was not ready for that level of role i think Do you think that movie might have just been like their attempt to catapult him into?
00:42:02
Speaker
Yeah. and And I think it backfired so hard. He almost quit acting. I'm a fan of both Jaden and Willow's music. Yeah. Agreed.
00:42:13
Speaker
How about the bald ones? The bald one boys. and know one of us has an opinion. Who are the other bald ones? There's William, Alec,
00:42:26
Speaker
Steven and Daniel even Baldwin. But Doug, there might be a Doug. He was crazy for the Seahawks in like 2013. I don't have an opinion on the Baldwin's.
00:42:38
Speaker
Yeah, I got an opinion.
00:42:42
Speaker
Guilty. Go to your local range. Take a course, Alec. Alec, if you're listening, you heard it here first. Also, don't hire non-union armorists because they are an Epo kid.
00:42:57
Speaker
It's your buddy's kid, you absolute... I mean, dude, just... No, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. Who else do you guys have for bad? um Does this one count?
00:43:09
Speaker
Because I saw the tweet and it made me cry.
Jeff Bezos' Hollywood Influence Rumors
00:43:13
Speaker
ah Jeff Bezos trying to put his new wife Lauren Sanchez in the next Bond movie to make her a star. I don't i like that.
00:43:25
Speaker
I don't think words can describe how much I hate that because
00:43:35
Speaker
it's just so antithetical to like everything I value about like art and movies and acting. And I also, i hate Jeff Bezos.
00:43:48
Speaker
If you're listening, Jeff, give me a billion dollars and then I'll like you. It's just, it's the most like vapid, money grubbing little like I'm better than you and I'm just going to do whatever I want because I can move that I've seen in terms of like a movie recently.
00:44:08
Speaker
Yep. And like the fact, the worst part is he owns Amazon MGM. They can't say no. She's going to be in this movie. And I'm going to boo. I'm going to be in the theater. I'm gonna boo. going to throw in popcorn at the screen and I'm going to get kicked out of the Alamo draft house.
00:44:26
Speaker
We're all to have to boycott the movie. So it's never, so it never happens again. It's going to be awful. And then like, you're just going to keep, well, you know, she was in bonds. We're going to stick her in in this Marvel movie or like, we're going to do this, you know, like it's just, it's going to be like quid pro quo, but instead of, you know, for like political favors, it's like, we'll buy Amazon AWS web space and Lauren can be in this next Disney movie.
00:44:53
Speaker
Oh, Maybe that article came out as like a way to appease her. Like maybe this is a want that she came to the table with and he's like, oh yeah, sure. And so we had to talk about it publicly to make it seem like he's trying.
00:45:09
Speaker
But I also don't think that would happen. and i think she will show up because he wants her to. guess we'll just have to stay tuned. I guess so. Like where did she even come from? I don't even know.
00:45:22
Speaker
Go back. Okay, I just typed it Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez just sent a telling message about their relationship. After reports they're going to court for money, did they break up already?
00:45:36
Speaker
Oh, guess money can't buy happiness, folks. they didn't They did sign a prenup. But I would like to win the lottery. I want my kid to be a Nepo baby.
00:45:47
Speaker
I would love to make my kid a Nepo baby. That'd be fun. Go you. I did it for you. Follow your dreams. Anyone else you guys got in bed? Anyone on your side, Tachi?
00:46:00
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to bring up, she's not really prominent anymore. I don't know if she's done with acting, but I'm going butcher her name. There are like four different ways to pronounce it, but Cara Delevingne or Vine or Cara. Oh, I don't know.
00:46:13
Speaker
How is she in Nipple, baby? Granddaughter to Sir Jocelyn Stevens. Oh, he's massive. Yeah. i I think it's just like a really rich family in the modeling world, maybe.
00:46:31
Speaker
okay but What do we think about... ah I got another like modeling one that has spilled into acting. But... yeah i I think Cara Delevingne was terrible.
00:46:44
Speaker
I never saw anything with her in it. I was like, oh, this is good. Same. There's a shot in Suicide Squad, though, that goes unbelievably hard. during one of the, what what was her character's name?
00:46:58
Speaker
Like the the Huntress, the Witchress, the Witcher? I don't know, I've never seen it. Anyway, she's making like the transformation into the character and her hand is on the table, like her human hand.
00:47:11
Speaker
And to show that she's like, that the transition is happening, this like black devil hand reaches under hers and like starts holding it and flips. It's such a cool shot.
00:47:22
Speaker
That's like the coolest part of the Suicide Squad movie. But it's not her. It's just all CGI. So I can't give her any credit. It's a really cool shot, though. I got one that's really hated.
00:47:34
Speaker
And I kind of disagree. I'm interested to hear your thoughts, if you even have any thoughts. Cindy Crawford. The supermodel. Her daughter, Kaya Gerber.
00:47:47
Speaker
Who was in Bottoms, Saturday Night, and Babylon? I think. Okay, okay. um um This girl is hated. I've seen her get shelled online. Really?
00:48:02
Speaker
And I liked her in Bottoms. I thought she was pretty good. She's good in Bottoms. I don't remember her in Babylon. I don't remember her either. There's also like a thousand people in Babylon. That's very true.
00:48:14
Speaker
It had to be like a quick thing. I don't remember her in Bottoms. She was the the ah the love interest. I think. ah Ayo Etta Beery's love interest.
00:48:29
Speaker
I only remember her and Rachel.
00:48:33
Speaker
But I mean they were the weeds so. You guys know who Kaia Gerber is dating? Who? Louis Pullman. Oh, let's go. right. That's another Nepo. That's two Nepo babies dating.
00:48:46
Speaker
Way to go, Louis. but We love each other. We do. At this point, they're like, they must be dating for like political dynasty purposes. It has to be.

I would have never have guessed this, by the way. Are we sure it's not the daughter of Gabriel? No, it's it's John Voight because John Voight is a Midnight Cowboy.
00:57:02
Speaker
Dustin Hoffman was not in Midnight Cowboy. What am I thinking? Yeah, you're dumb. Nor was he? I gotta look it up. But Jon Voight was in Midnight Cowboy. That's that's the clue.
00:57:13
Speaker
You got half the answer. do you guys want to guess or do you want the answer for who his daughter is? Who is it? His daughter is Angelina Jolie. What? Yeah.
00:57:25
Speaker
Huh? Dustin Hoffman is in Midnight Cowboy. John Voight. Oh my God. Isn't that insane? That is crazy.
00:57:36
Speaker
I had no idea.

Bertrand. Marceline Bertrand. Or it could be Laurie Peters.
00:57:53
Speaker
Full name, Angelina Jolie Voight. Ah. That's crazy. Yep. You know who's not a Nepo baby? Who?
00:58:04
Speaker
Willem Dafoe. I'm not surprised. He's him. That man was born that man is born in a theater. He just showed up on set one day and was like, I'm here.
00:58:16
Speaker
and like your vibe. but
00:58:19
Speaker
One of the craziest Nepo babies to me, like, like the like whoa, that's crazy. um One's Riley Keough. Yep. Is part of the Presley family, as in Elvis Presley.
00:58:34
Speaker
Oh. She is Lisa Marie Presley's daughter. I found that out after Priscilla came out a couple years ago. Yeah. So she's part owner of like the Elvis estate and like Graceland and all that.
00:58:48
Speaker
Yep. Are there any other Nepo babies that we didn't hit on that you guys want to shout out? That you're a fan of? I wonder if she does a good Elvis impressing. Oh, hi there ah sorry. I cut you off.
00:59:03
Speaker
Oh, we were just saying, Hey there. yeah Hey mama. Hey there, mama.
00:59:10
Speaker
Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, their parents um are screenwriters and directors. Yeah, for a while i didn't know I didn't realize that Maggie and Jake were related, which totally should have.
00:59:23
Speaker
That's an easy one. Donnie Darko didn't give it away. i guess I guess not. um I wanted to shout out the Skarsgård family. Oh, yeah. But they it. Love those guys. yeah They deserve it. They're sick.
00:59:34
Speaker
They are really good. I mean... They're the prime example, I think, of like a family that goes hard. Like that's not like nepotism. That's just Stellan bred his kids to all be top tier actors. They're all just extremely locked in.
00:59:50
Speaker
Love it. And more especially Bill. I'm a big Bill fan. Might be a little too locked in.
00:59:58
Speaker
That guy, he's Pennywise probably got like a really normal hobby. Yeah. I hope so. He's probably into like stamp collecting or something. He has to be. He's got just such a unique, just unique features.
01:00:11
Speaker
The lip thing he does for it. Oh, it was just have you have you heard the story about that? It was just like a thing he did that he just like learned he could do it when he was a kid and he kept doing it.
01:00:24
Speaker
And then so when he was auditioning for it, someone was like, oh you should do the lip thing. And then he did it and they were like, whoa, and then Look at this freak. thought it was the eye thing.
01:00:35
Speaker
you know well it's like lip and eye. he's like Yeah, he's got the combo like buggy eyes with the lip thing. Yeah. boom pennyizing Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. but The mouth shape thing.
01:00:46
Speaker
yeah don't like it. Freaky. i mean, he made iconic posters. Yeah, he As Pennywise. Do you think he just like whips that out like with his wife or something?
01:00:58
Speaker
Like she's like looking over like, hey, honey, what up for dinner? He's sitting in the corner like, I think it's an easy avenue to just rage bait. For sure.
01:01:09
Speaker
You're like having an argument and he whips it out. How do you even respond to that? You don't. You lost that argument. Stop doing the face. Our kid is getting suspended from school.
01:01:23
Speaker
All in all, there are good Nepo babies and there are bad. There are weird. It just depends what they do with our power. great What did we accomplish from this episode?
01:01:35
Speaker
Nothing. Nothing. We learned some things. Yeah, we we we played some games, learned some things. We talked about nepotism and Nepo babies, and we'd love to hear if you guys have any that you particularly hate or particularly love.

Bad music. She's not on my list. No, she just sick abs, though. Crazy abs. People always come up to me like, oh, my God, do hear the new Gracie Abrams song? And I'm like, no, because her dad killed Star Wars.
01:02:39
Speaker
It's like, oh, but it's so good. People were like dying for her to come to ACL this year. And I'm like, yeah, like I'll boycott the set. Like, I'm not going. I'll bring a sign that says your dad killed Star Wars. was going to say, I could see you in the crowd with a sign.
01:02:54
Speaker
I'd be getting like the crap beaten out of me by Gracie fans. You would. And you'd lose 10 times. Yeah. I mean, I can't beat off like a horde of thousands of fans. I could probably take a couple hundred.
01:03:09
Speaker
But thousand is too much. It is too much. It is. You'd get tired. yeah Swinging.
