"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. And while I don't think we are fully there yet, I think people are waking up to the idea as we had some kind of bank runs this weekend. I know you guys saw all the lines, the pictures of people lining up at their banks. Well, just wait until it really gets bad and people are actually all wanting to pull out their money from the banking system. The fractional reserve banking system, TLDR, you won't be able to. Anyways, this next meme is by my buddy opium. And he goes, the memes will be way better this time. And as a millennial, I really felt this one. I was having a conversation with my friend at dinner last night and I was, I basically said the same thing, just not in a meme form. As a millennial, every time I had a new checkpoint or a new point in my life where it's like, okay, maybe we're moving up. Maybe there's a hope at the end of the tunnel. It seems like we get another catastrophe. It seems like we get another huge event. And this is just, this is the world that we live in as millennials. This is kind of back to the idea of also the floor turning as millennials. I think we are that hero generation where it's upon us to take it all on the chin and change the world in real time, but I really like this meme and we got zoomers, wow, I am witnessing a financial crisis and millennials and gen xers and this is what James Franco, I don't know what movie this is. And he's about to get hung on the news and he's been hung on the news before. I never dies. And he just goes first time.

"And once I signed with golden, I was able to finally fight girls who were naturally at my weight class, which is when all the knockouts started coming. So I always know and I had the natural power. I just wasn't able to show it. So if I would have started my career with golden boy, I would be 22 and O with at least 18 knockouts. One of my favorite, that's my favorite, but I like one of the movies I like is this movie that James Franco is he's in the military and he's a boxer and he's on the scale and he's eating Snickers bar while he's on the scale to get to a weight to fight the guy he's wanted to fight. Have you ever had to just pig out to get to within a certain weight range to take a fight? Oh yeah. I did that at least. I mean, every single fight I had before signing with golden boy. I signed with them when I was 12 and now I believe. And every single fiber. So just so people know, you have to, if you're going to fight, it's a one 15, you've got to be at one 12, right? You've got to at least be within three pounds of their wish. Or else you're at a different weight class. Yeah. So I would eat, I remember one time I fought on, I think it was a choke Latino under card. And I had a gain about another three pounds just to make that weight limit so the fight can happen. And I had my dad ran to McDonald's. I ate a whole mill, double cheeseburger fries. Down to whole Gatorade, still wasn't enough. So he went to Randy's donuts and got me this giant bear claw and a huge milk. So gross. It was disgusting. I wanted to throw up, but I had to do it. And ended up barely making the weight. So, I mean, things like that are just, it's funny, now when I look back, and I think, what was I thinking fighting these girls who were so freaking huge? I'm like, I'm insane for doing that. But at the same time, it's what I wanted to do. It's what I had to do in order to build my record and to stay active. And bear claw and McDonald's, it would take me three days to get that out of my system. It was the sitting in my stomach. With myself. Just so you want to hear from a fight. Oh, and then when I fought, as far as that, even though that was a 112 pounds, I was still walking around at, I don't know, maybe one ten. So when I fought as far as a fight week, I was at the buffet at the MGM eating pizza every day. And I still weighed in at, what was it? Maybe one ten point something. On Fight Night, I was one O 9. I went back down. So I mean, those are just things that I had to go through that now just make everything, they make all the success now, just feel even sweeter, knowing that I went through all that crap. You've spent the last few years with golden boy. You've been off for 11 months in part because you decide to separate from golden boy and have signed with top rank.

"Silly cute is what I kept saying. I don't think you should call him marvel movie cute. Yeah, I don't think that's what it should be. So I will say this. We'll probably not go see it again. But I will say that it's worth the watch, but you have to know, I think what you're getting into, it's like it's just not a marvel movie. Yeah. Travie? Yeah, so Taylor, Taylor and I are kind of on the same page except I disliked it a little more. Even Taylor said when I went over to his house right before this, that he had just seen a trailer for Thor. And he goes, oh, that is very misleading. A 100%. Yeah, it was like there was little to no words at all. It was just all the action sequences and everything and it was just like Thor returns. Love and thunder in theaters only. And I was like, wow, people gonna be pissed off. And it was like, 'cause that is because that one minute, I was like, damn, they did a good job of this. I was like, but that is not what this movie is. That is not what this movie. And they started from the beginning being goofy. Yeah. Like, straight on. Yeah, it felt like a parody film. If you've seen any of the scary movie films, one through four, or the disaster movies, or it really felt like and I can't remember the name of the film, the one with Michael Cera, James Franco and Seth Rogen, where there's Armageddon and the world is ending, and they have a whole bunch like Emma Watson shows up for a little bit. They just have celebrity pop ins. Every once in a while, we're like, oh, okay, well, that's interesting, but it felt like this movie felt like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, like it was that kind of tongue in cheek. Yeah. And it just wasn't like the beginning was good, and I was like, oh, okay, here's some levity. But they kept trying to infuse some drama in there. And then they would be like, I guess they were, I don't know if it also felt like a Judd Apatow film where they were just going to let the characters riff and start trying whatever jokes they wanted to. And he decided to leave it in. I thought they were going off on a rescue mission, but then they had to sit there and have like a long, too long scene. That went about, you know, talking about leaving other characters and going off or doing like, I was like, hold on, isn't there somebody in distress right now? Are there stakes in this film? Or are there not? Yeah. And they get there. And they get there too late. And I'm like, well, you guys had to fucking have character development conversation for 5 minutes. But you know, whatever, cool. There was just so much like Taylor said, there was, I mean, if I may spoiler alert right here, there was a talking dumpling in the film. That's what I was. I didn't spoil it, but it's not a major spoiler for the dumplings not spoiled. No, but it was that ridiculous. There's so many things that they've used.

"So along that line then, who would you say is your mentor? I would say these kind of people are mentors. A lot. Favorite. The one I've been following the most for the longest is probably James Franco. That's who started me in SEO Internet marketing. I can't think of anybody before him. He's Australian. He's still around. I still listen to things that he teaches. Ryan stewman is another one that I've been following for years. I was in a little course of him. I'm not in his courses right now or in any of his programs, but he's blowing up still. He just keeps growing and growing. And then I listened to all the marketing guy, Gary Vee, grant cardone, Bradley, Dan Kennedy is the newest one that we're in, but he's the oldest. Russell Brunson of ClickFunnels, even though we kind of compete against him. GaryVee, we love. But Dan Kennedy is like the OG marketing guy that's been around forever that I've got into a little bit, but we've just recently we've gotten into a lot more. And he is just. His stuff from 40 years ago still works today. When you put it online, it's still the same thing, which makes me think that at 20 more years what we're teaching is still going to be working. 100% believe so what do you wish everybody understood about our business? I guess what makes what makes us unique. Ourselves, it's that we are a family business family business where a husband and wife team that have been doing small local business and that's it. And we haven't killed each other yet. It's been close. This is how close we work together. Most of the time. Until recently, but the fam is a jam. Yeah, we love small businesses. We love going to eat at a mom and pop, rather than going to a chain. It's hard to shop anywhere that's not a chain anymore, but does big box stores are going to kill America. Politics aside. It's just they're eating up the world. And I don't want that to happen. So that's a big reason why we're doing this. The small guy relevant. And help them stay relevant. If you just sit back and do nothing, you're just going to get eaten up. And we are an agency. I mean, we have agency clients that we love. And we take care of them, big agency, or big clients, but we've just kind of switched to how can we help the small businesses across the country. Those close to home and across the country, how can we help them do the same thing that we do for the big companies? Most businesses out there don't have the deep pockets that the dentists eye doctors. A way of running ads to a website that captures leads that the whole thing that we do, we do for our clients at a decent price because we have the experience and the expertise in doing it and getting results in the results are good enough that they stay for years a lot at most of the times. We are teaching the same thing to businesses that just can't afford that. Businesses that can't afford not to do something or they're going to go out of business. So we want to widen our impact by helping more people. So pat, have you ever thought about giving up? About ten minutes ago. Daily. Yeah, but if anyone else has been around for well, I know lately in the past two years, that's been huge for most people and for a lot of our agency clients, that was huge. But we've been through as a business. I would say some major, major things. When 9 11 hit, that was a major impact for us. We went from like 18 dealers and we went to half in a month. We knew it was going to happen once that hit nobody was buying anything. Nobody did anything. Nobody did anything. Nobody bought anything. So it just was pure panic across the country. Housing crisis when everything crashed. Everybody stopped spending money and just almost daily people would call and cancel just say they're going to sit back and wait. 2020. Same thing happened.

"Do you just spent the last 30 minutes going over why this can't work? Why this relationship will never work on both ends. It's like, and then you just go, okay, and they loved each other. Goodbye. Everything was happy. Dance party. What? And it's like, I've seen distance relationships that don't work like a cross town. Because people don't want to drive across the expressway, let alone London and LA. There's no way. And they were just like, we just want, you know what? The trick is just don't address it. We'll just never talk about it. And we'll fade out and everyone's happy. Well, I did, I enjoyed this. For the film. But they also did driving miss daisy also. But, man, did it take Cameron Diaz for fucking ever to jog up that drive? I thought it was done, and then I was like, oh no, we have a few more bars of the score to get through, I guess. And then she kept running. Yeah. It was a lot. Yeah. And again, 136 minutes. Do you think that was a bit like in the editing room, they were like, all right, let's just keep going. It was like the Monty Python thing where the guy's like running towards the screen the whole time. I was just like eating an apple and I did like that they wrote it in because basically it was Jack Black's character that was writing the score for the film, because everybody had their own theme and he goes all through it and tells everybody what they're different themes are. And then they play them in the film. That was really interesting. Also, I love the little asides with the fake trailers. James Franco, Lohan. And was it John Krasinski? And I thought Kathryn Hahn was in a lot of places. In the film, or was she one of the people helping? She was one of the gophers for her. Yeah, Cameron Diaz. She was one of the interns or Shannon sosman for Jack Black, who she was in not that many films. So she was on a nights tale. She was in 40 days and 40 nights. I know she was in I think rules of attraction with Dawson's creek that dude's name. James van der beek? Yep. There we go. And I get those movies confused 40 days before we announce which one is it? I said, just scored 11 Zooey Deschanel is 500 summer 40 days a night is Josh Hartnett. Who's Alec Baldwin? Adam Sandler. What was he in with Drew Barrymore? 51st dates. Okay. And then there was 8 crazy nights. What I'm saying? That was an animated film. Yes. This is all very confusing. For numbers. So I feel like I've watched some of the wrong movies. We're going to take a quick break and refresh our videos and we'll come back to talk a little bit about heads and duffel bags. 12 monkeys? So stand by..

You see something time for If you see something, say something with Donna and Steve, If you see something, Say something, come on and party tonight, Okay? This is interesting. Remember that story about James Franco? And fortunately, yeah women who were students of his, um he was teaching acting classes. I'm and for sure to women. Um, shed light on all sorts of misbehavior. Um On his part Mhm, where this ended up becoming a class action suit. So the complaint by these two women Sarah Teather, Caplin and Tony Gall. Alleged that those were who were taught by James Franco at Studio for Film School in New York and LA were the victims of fraud. Most often, though, when settlements come the terms remain confidential. But I guess when it's a class action, that's not the case. Um so a judge just needs to review the fairness of the settlement for those who are benefiting but not appearing in court. So one woman is getting $670,000. Um In a settlement from James Franco. Minus 223,000 and fees going to lawyers. Oh, 33%. Yep, The other woman is going to get $223,000 minus 74 change to the lawyers. And all the other students. I don't know how many There were. They'll get almost like two thirds of the remaining part of $1.34 million. So in all, he has to pay out two point $2 million to these women. Uh oh. This is so creepy and I don't know if he's doing the settlement to make it just go away. Yeah, I would imagine, Or is he? I believe he's not He's not taking responsibility for the claims against him. Did he ever issue any sort of an apology? I don't think so. Do you recall? Don? I don't think so. If I feel like he denied everything. He does, and he continues to. And Seth Rogan won't distancing himself from our, um I used to really lighting, too. I thought it was so charming and so funny and so interesting with all the work that he chose to do. He would. Like he Used to think soap opera actors were Like, Oh, you're on a soap opera. That's less than us. And so he wanted to reframe that in his mind yet, so he took a job on a soap opera. It appeared on one for a while. I remember which one it was, but I was like, I remember really cool to decide that your view is ignorant and you're going to Educate yourself and realize these people have to memorize lines every day. And then he would teach Carl I mean, well, that's what got him in trouble. But yeah, Yeah, And then he went back to school. He went to Y you yet? So here's what he said. By the way back in the day was going to say that I have some of him talking to Colbert. Oh, God. Okay, um, where he said, Uh, goodness, this is back in 2018. And he said, Look in my life. I pride myself on taking responsibility for things that I've done. I have to do that to maintain my well being. The things that I heard that we're on Twitter are not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn't have a voice for so long. So I don't want to shut them down in any way. If I've done something wrong, I will fix it. I have to That's what he told Colbert. Okay, that sounds Really sort of wishy washy, wishy washy and not direct and admitting anything, and just for people know what he's being accused of remind us, so it's basically, um Basically Getting women. To take their clothes off. Take their tops off things like that on video, right? Yes, And that's not typical. You know, I don't know. It's just There was something about it that he was just trying to get nudity from these vulnerable students who want to prove themselves and it was for basically their own enjoyment. Yeah, it was about like he would say like you need to work on your sex scene. Yes, there needs to be some practicing. Yes, so he would basically pushed them into performing in increasingly explicit sex scenes on camera and then I feel like he was sharing it with friends. They say he had just taken advantage of our eagerness to work and to be a part of something bigger. We were all these up and coming actors who were so hopeful, um and one of the accusers, um, saying that she recalled James Franco, asking some of the women If any of them wanted to take their top off and that he was visibly angry when they declined. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Really Manipulating. Yeah, that's really I know that. He also was accused of just sleeping with a bunch of young women, promising them careers. Maybe not from his acting class, but just being that kind of a creep and then never putting them in projects. Well, right. And then he says so.

What followed was a wild, mostly true tale about how an exotic dancer Zola found herself on a road trip that went dangerously awry to put it mildly. The new movie. Zola is based on that series of about 150, funny and often profane tweets. NPR's Mallory, You talk to some of the people behind Zola about turning a Twitter moment into a feature length film. That viral threat in 2015 wasn't the first time Zola born Asia King talked about that wild weekend on Twitter. She'd mentioned the story briefly after it happened the year before, but didn't go into much detail. Soon as I got home kind of just was like when I met this girl at my job, and she completely lied Kings, an exotic dancer, and she says her Twitter was already full of wild stories about people at the clubs where she worked. She got some sympathetic responses from her followers. But not much else. See, Intense encounters were just part of the job. Since I didn't go in depth. They kind of just felt like Oh, she had another one of her weekends, and we moved on Then that night in 2015. King was at home, pregnant and scrolling on her phone.

But as a script took shape Asia King started to feel like the story was becoming less hers. They kind of added things in the blank space that I guess they thought would be entertaining.

It seems I missed that whole deal of how they have been writing partners another minutes movies together, but I don't like Seth Rogan said. I never go to the movies. To see him anyway and Franco again take her leave. So what is all of this has been all over the place on the late night TV shows talking about how he won't work with Franco. So what's the scoop here? J. Yeah. James Frank has been in a lot of trouble in the past years for sexual abuse and harassment allegations, rape allegations and Seth Rogan before I mean, they had a partnership. They have done numerous movies together. Worked on so many projects, you know, BFF, so in a way And Seth Rogan has come out and said that he has, you know, he's kind of cut off from James Franco. He has no No interests and working with him again are continuing a personal nor professional relationship and even went on. Seth Rogan went on to apologize and expressed regret over different statements He's made In favor of James. Why, all of a sudden this? What is there that he must have been affected Somehow, somebody said, when we're not working with you anymore, if you have any connection to Franco that has probably could have done this a long time ago. But he didn't. This sounds very self serving. Well, he even was part of this 2014. He was on Saturday night Live and during his monologue when he was hosting, he even made a joke and reference to the first allegation of one, James Franco was sliding into the G M's of a 17 year old. Asking her to meet him at a hotel. And he was, you know, in his monologue, he was even kind of minimizing everything saying Oh, that one time I prank James Franco. I posed as a 17 year old girl and You know, And then he didn't seem to be phase, you know, so he kind of played it, too. It alive is his apology tour. Phony phony. Okay, I'm not friends with James Franco, but I think I remember him being like in my mind. He's a weirdo. When he's a total. Everybody know that. Yeah, completely. I mean, he has so many different allegations, even from students of hiss when he was teaching acting classes and then kind of saying that he would allude to the fact that there may be some parts on the table. If he they perform sexual acts. Fabulous. Hi. Yeah. Okay, So here's another one. We've heard the stories in the last one year or so, Actually, we're going on longer than that about some of the acts of hate against Asians on now, here's an awful I don't even like the highlight this but it just tells you How sick or crazy or angry or mean or nasty? Why would why would why would this happen? I guess J is the question. Yeah, There's a big question. Why? Why is it happening? Why does it keep happening at two teenagers attacked an 80 year old Asian man, Um, in the San Francisco Bay area and They was even nobody stepped in to help him even as he's the guy is crying out for help, and you can hear somebody like in the distance laughing so they don't know if there was a bystander or somebody who was part of the you know, with these suspects there in their teens, one was going to 16 years old. And then they got into a getaway car getting so angry. Where'd you get that? And then Well, maybe you get it is the story with this guy who attacked an Asian woman in New York After he'd gotten out of jail. He murdered his mother. There's another fine, upstanding human that is on the streets. Now. Again. He murders his mother. First thing he does when he gets parole, his attack an Asian woman. Why is this kind of deal?

HBO's New Documentary Warns Of The Dangers Of Cyberwarfare
"The perfect weapon now on HBO is a documentary about a danger. We've all heard a lot about, but don't really know new and frightening warning from the FBI on hackers using malicious software to launch a cyber attack against us. It's based on the best selling book by New York Times National Security correspondent David He, Sanger. About a new form of conflict that is global, inexpensive, invisible and supremely available to small groups, not just large powers. Jon Mateos, the director of the perfect weapon, and he joins us now from Brooklyn. Thank you so much for being with us. Thanks for having me, Scott. You know, I'm going to ask you plenty of questions about the dangers that cyber warfare poses to the US, But I have to ask you first. Did we fire the first shots across the bow? It appears as if we did Scott because when we attacked the Iranian nuclear program in 2007, the code that we put into the plant was released and everyone knew about it. Now there were plenty of covert kind of operations that go on, probably things we'll never know about. But that one was let out of the box. And because of that, it appears as if we fire the first shot, and we've been paying for it ever since. Let me ask you about a few attacks. We know about 2013 cyber attack. On Las Vegas that was done in response to something of casino owners. That's right. Well, he wasn't just any casino owner was Sheldon Adelson, a well connected casino that's correct on he had gone online. He was part of the symposium where he talked about actually setting off a nuclear weapon. Against Iran as a way to stop their nuclear program, and that video went onto YouTube. It went viral and the Iranians found out about it, and they planned, very powerful, destructive cyber attack of his sands casino operation to demonstrate something to him or to the United States. Oh, that's the thing about these sorts of attacks. You know, they're short of war attacks. They're not necessarily attacking our Our critical infrastructure all the time. But it sends a message. That destructive attack is easy for a country like Iran. It's it's an asymmetrical attack, and it made a very strong point. Once it was let out. I mean, the Sands Corporation did everything I could to hide the fact that they've lost $40 million in their technology, But it was let out and incentive, frightening message And, as David Sanger says in the film What happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas 2014 cyberattack essentially brought down a Seth Rogan James Franco film the interview, which in fact does raise serious questions about freedom of expression. On also of you know, a major film corporation Sony. Yeah, that was that was the one that really got so much notice because it became suddenly an international incident. And I have to say it's one of the big issues in the film that I think people will recognizes that that the US is uniquely vulnerable to these kinds of attacks because of our open this because of our First Amendment because of the public square. Our weapons against authoritarians regimes don't necessarily have the same effect happened. Dump attacks, like what happened at Sony are not as effective to countries like Iran and Russia.

Oscars 2020: who will have the biggest night?
"Are the Oscars are this weekend who are you rooting for anybody on your list I like once upon a time in Hollywood I just thought that was a great film I love the cast awesome stuff several nominations for that film bills worker is joining us now long time energy reporter for the sun times still with five Chicago is a contributor and bill has followed many many many Oscars lot but you know I always loved about you bill you you follow the local entertainment scene so well and always told us such interesting nuggets about what was going on here well that's true I've always loved you know I mean I think that's important I think it as we all know how they moved in this world of of the current the twenty first century media I think local local local is the way to cope in general because I think that's what people really want to get because they can get you know the national stories from other outlets but but this is an interesting year at all well it's always interesting with the Academy Awards although I do think in certain categories is here there's there's some things that are pretty well said but I know we think of course they're going to go again this year without it without a without a whole list which I don't think it's a terrible thing I think you know well I'll tell you why I think so often unless you get somebody like Billy crystal who's always knocks the you know the ball out of the park I think over the years I think will be colder did a good job we recently had our critic's guide Bible to the critics choice awards which of the broadcast broadcast critics and you know we had two days he did a wonderful job and I think because he didn't try to overdo it you know came out was charming and didn't you know try to be too cute but I think sometimes I think people want to see who's going to win they want to see the presenters I don't think they want a lot of big production numbers and all those give me some wonderful musical numbers at the Oscars you know your health Elton John performing in and you know it's gonna be really quite quite wonderful in the court system the result of a few people who really are talented musically but it's gonna be interesting to see what happens on Sunday I can say I disagree too but I'd like the host I guess you're right but what okay what is a good host was a good house because right some of the host I kind of remember the Anne Hathaway that was a disaster and as much as I loved you know but she yeah I do too but she what that wasn't right for her at all and James Franco I think the the combo wasn't right and that yeah then they tried to do so many acts that an already long ceremony got longer and longer right letterman was not successful either you know so I mean and and I love him but I mean I just it's just a very tough job I will say that so I think sometimes a safe way to go is with out the host and we'll see how it goes David Letterman wasn't wanted the Oprah uma uma Oprah right rumors were rolling their eyes he's like I got to go and I got a key thing is we we didn't work we actually have some audio here from Billy crystal because he was just on Jimmy Kimmel okay crystal has hosted the Oscars I think nine times total nine times jingle himself is hosted the Oscars twice yes yeah he did a good job he did so the two of them had thoughts about the hostess Oscars here's here's what they had to say I always loved being out there I I loved the guess the trusts you know that the movie academy had a made to to get me out that I always I felt like there was a great honor to do it and I think that when you have a show that's as long as it is is going to happen and I think the problem with the no hosting perhaps is that there's not somebody out there to capitalize on that moment ledge view had when the wrong Best Picture right who could forget that the one that's right but he does make a good point there he does make a good point that you can can bring it into the moment and and capitalize on it that is a very good point I hadn't thought of that someone says something that you can sort of have fun with right that just sort of right out there and then they bring it back and make everybody sort of laugher connect over that moment we just had a listener say six three oh what about the la la land fiasco that would be weird without a host because sort of look at each other like what that would that would have been terrible and and then on a lighter note I mean it's great when you have somebody you know when when Jack Palance remember that the one arm push up you know on the sages many years ago and of course and you know Billy came out and made a great joke about it because you know those are the things that you love love to see happen yeah my favorite also I think was on my list of favorites I should say Ellen DeGeneres remember that a normal than the selfie she took and then when she was busting Steven Spielberg around a telephone tell take the picture you know when I could change my point of view you're either going to go maybe on your side your honor but you know I heard you it coming in when you talk about once upon a time in Hollywood that really was one of my favorite favorite movies of the year I see like bill if this one is sort of got a little bit of an unfair advantage because it seems like one of those movies that people in the industry natural sort of are drawn to because it has history of historical factor I know it's sort of a bag I would love to see it with but it's it's one of my favorite but I think all of the momentum seems to be from the directors guild of the producers guild all of the different wards have been happened sounds like it's going to be nineteen seventeen which I liked very much but technically it had some incredible you know incredible beautiful moments but my favorite if I was going to pick one it would be once upon a time in Hollywood or parasite which of course is going to win trust me it's gonna win best foreign film the people that are further further Oscar parties if they want to fill out there if you get if you get some of those lesser known categories right you can win the Oscar Poole I've no I bet it's true that's a good strategy that's true yes I have eight one five Oscars praying for no politics I need a break yeah what do you think we all do I think we all do and I think that will be that's one thing that I hope we do have because I think after what we've all gone through in this country in the last few weeks I think yes no politics is a very good suggestion but it's interesting because in terms of all the acting categories I think they're pretty well locked into a whole I think it is going to win and I think most people do what do you think what you got for best supporting actress I think well that's what the one category where there could be a surprise in the usually is a surprise the one category excuse me would be best supporting actress because even though most people think it's gonna be Laura Dern was terrific as a divorce lawyer in marriage story you know who could possibly slip in there because he has won a few things as far as people from little women who played one of the daughters and that's one category but I do think it's gonna be Laura Dern for best Supporting Actor it's Brad Pitt as one everything is beloved by many people in Hollywood you know it's sort of his his year in his time and I think that's a pretty much of a lock in for Best Actress it's it's I think pretty much going to be Renee Zellweger for Judy plank Judy Garland and although I would look I would be disappointed if there was a real real upset here in Jersey ronin from little women one because I think she's terrific but they're all these categories have great nominees and of course for Best Actor again it's probably going to be Joaquin Phoenix because again he won everything so far incredible performance I didn't see G. R. A. Renee Zellweger in Judy but I didn't know that that was not universally loved by critics no it was not what happened there was everybody pretty much loved her I mean I agree with this the movie itself was just sort of you know just so so I think the reason she's basically the nominee the only nominee for that movie there may be a cost and it might be a minor on the minor categories I shouldn't call minor but one of the most popular categories but the movie itself was not great she was what made the movie yeah I you know I I didn't see that because of sort of the reviews the main one that would be worth revisiting because I loved her and that was the online series where she was the rich woman who is trying to convince people a little comes of age is he was a recent series streaming and she was phenomenal and I just remember and she sings herself I mean the fact that she you know somebody's like a voice like garland which everybody knows so well the fact that you do your own singing I think is also a major push any and there's so many scenes in this movie you look and you think it's actually Judy Garland on stage and screen excuse me so I think it's and that's pretty much of a lock but there again you know you never that's pictures that that was one I mean I think it's probably going to be nineteen seventeen but I would be happy with virtually any of those you know that are up there there's nine nominees you know because they changed the rules a few years ago but you know a lot of talk this year the parasite which definitely is gonna win best foreign film it might be the first year that the best foreign film also wins Best Picture that would be somewhat of an upset but that would be a fascinating thing to see what is the Netflix series that Renee Zellweger was and I was trying to remember to remember bill out we only have a minute here but if you if you are going to the movies this weekend as I know some people do when they try to say Hey I'm gonna catch up on some of these Oscar nominated films what what was one of the films you would suggest the probably not many people have gone to I think I don't know I think first of all I think you know probably nineteen seventeen I think it's it's a kind of a tough movie to watch many ways but I think that that that seems to be the front runner for Best Picture if you haven't seen once upon a time in Hollywood definitely catch that and I'll tell you a parasite is be the third one because that is such it's got a real twist to it I can't tell you much and I would give it away but it that would be the film that is probably the one most unique dark comedy that come down the pike in a long time okay you got my attention on that I'm gonna check that one out bills record thank you so much for checking in with us at any time good to hear your voice same

The Frame 5th Anniversary Special
"We launched the frame. We were doing something for the the very first time I had been a print reporter my entire life so we ask our guests for stories when they first succeeded or failed old. We have a thirty second request though in two weeks. Everybody who comes on is saying the first thing that something happened. I M Gena Davis and the first time fine I got cast in a movie was in tootsie. Few the first job did I failed and actually got fired on American gangster. I'm John Stewart the first time. I've bobbed onstage. funnily enough was the first time I was on stage. For some reason I was absolutely not nervous at all. The first scene was with Dustin Hoffman in my underwear but what I learned from that was Is Not all about me and you have to learn how to advocate sometimes as a filmmaker The Bitter End New York City. One o'clock in the morning following three doors cover bands. I had a good five minutes prepared about two minutes into the audience realized I might suck at this. The funniest thing was I didn't know you're only supposed to come on the days that you're working and nobody bothered to to tell me for six weeks. I showed up at six and went home when everybody else did. I'd get a chair and put it right next to Sydney Pollack considerable bad day avenue. I still feel that page on the is I walked into the night I thought to myself you know. There are a lot of law schools if I could I could go to them. And our first guest in two thousand fourteen was Christopher Nolan He. He was about to release his movie. Interstellar a lot of people are saying that this is your most personal film. How do you respond to that? You take a compliment. You think they might be right. I basic they don't know me so I I do you know yourself. I don't know Myself Derby when either you've been a lot of real world events that have driven our coverage over the years but the one that coincided with our launch was a Sony Hack today today the. US government pointed the finger of blame directly at North Korea with a devastating cyber attack against Sony. Pictures taken down the movie. The interview. That poked fun on at the North Korean dictator whole. They caused a Lotta damage. The cyber attack of Sony pictures which allegedly was conducted by North Korea came in response to a movie. It was called the interview. It Starts Seth Rogan and James Franco. It was a crazy story. It evolved every day and in the middle of it Dan Sterling in who was the screenwriter of the interview was with us in studio. Hi thanks for having me. It's very rare that a screenwriter is like with us to talk about breaking news news so I guess my breaking news questions. What the Hell's going on today? Well I just know what's going on in my email inbox which is an increasing flood of people asking me if if I'm okay both emotionally physically and financially was your answer. What do you tell you know? I was at a party on Saturday night where the host was introducing me to everybody the at the Party as this is the guy that brought down Sony exit was funny. Well the first four or five hundred times. The joke was made. It was funny except Except actually it's a way it's actually not funny to me I'm It's been a surreal experience. I'm still very much in the middle of the one thing that I know that I'm not happy about is actually The real suffering that is going on at Sony. Not Not just by the person who green lit my films so bravely but also by all the other people affected by the hack. I'm quite concerned about them there. There's so much about this story. We'll get to the film in it in a second. But what about about the reaction to the film itself has been the most surprising to you. Well look About a year ago today I was I was on a sound stage age and I was at the monitor watching Seth Rogan who was completely naked except for a sock around his penis and he had a bunch of Salami Alami tucked between his buttocks that a German shepherd was eating out of because the scene was he was being Sniffed by you know a bomb sniffing dog and I was laughing my head off sitting next to his mother who seemed to be used to these sorts of things and she was knitting a scarf and at the time Nothing like any. This could have occurred to me because the movie is just a in our minds was supposed to be an outrageous of course somewhat provocative but totally hilarious comedy which I think that it is but the the the reaction by the North Korean government was surprising to me And all of the things that have ensued have been. Ah I was quite naive going into

Five Years Later, Who Really Hacked Sony?
"Welcome to the frame. I'm John Horn five years ago. Oh just as Thanksgiving approached employs at Sony pictures logged into their computers and were greeted by this ominous message hacked by Hashtag copay over a picture of a sinister looking red skeleton. GOP reportedly stands for guardians of peace a previously unknown group now claiming credit for the hack the the hackers leaked millions of files putting confidential employee. Information and embarrassing e mails about the studios internal workings out in the Open Ben. Fritz there's an editor at the Wall Street Journal and the author of the book. The big picture the fight for the future of movies and he remembers being in the Journal. Newsroom when he heard about the hack I remember I remember reading about it online and talking to a few sources I knew what Sony and of course it I I didn't really understand the magnitude of it and how how damaging it would be that it wasn't until the next week I believe when When they started leaking all these documents and information I started to see some of the stuff that was coming out and realized? Just how serious this was for. Those who don't remember the hack was quickly connected to North Korea and Kim Jong Moons anger over the film the interview. It started Seth Rogan James Franco as a couple of TV. TV journalists who are going to interview and potentially assassinate the North Korean president. And at the time we were interviewing the screenwriter. Dan Sterling this. This is back in two thousand fourteen. You know I was at a party. On Saturday night where the per- the host was introducing me to everybody at the party. As this is the guy that brought down Sony. It was funny by that. Well the first four or five hundred times the joke was made It was funny except actually in a way. It's actually not funny to me. How was the heck essentially blamed on the movie and was that theory actually borne out after the fact? North Korea was in fact behind the hacking and Kim Jong was very very mad. That this you know American film was was was mocking him. Northwards of very poor country but they do actually have A. It's kind of very good Hacking program and He wanted to stop them from coming out and or punish Sony for having made it and he was pretty successful on both fronts. At the time the leading theory experts was there was North Korea but a lot of people around Sony. Thought it couldn't be eight or maybe it was angry at employee's rivals or something but The the FBI About a year ago concluded pretty definitively that it wasn't Korea and in fact they indicted Somebody who was part of a North korean-backed hacking team that was called the Lazarus project and was for numerous cybercrimes including the intrusion at Sony. That a lot of people forget. Is that the movie. We didn't really get released. I mean Sony was so worried about it that they pulled the release and then they kind of backtracked on that and at the time we were talking gene with a guy named James cursed he's the founder of. La's downtown independent theatre. He is in the studio talking about the movie. And this is what happens. There's been so much we were getting calls about it. My phone's ringing up. Oh it's the REP from Sony. Go ahead take it. Hi this the gym so he actually gets a call from Sony in the middle of the interview pain. Can you play the. Can you play movie in your theater. It ends up not getting getting much of an exhibition schedule at all. Does it. No it only a few hundred independent theaters briefly What happened was the hackers threatened that they were going to Bomb or cause violence at at an attack any theater that played the film and You know understandably a lot didn't wanNA play and as a result and Sony you know AH incorrectly so they weren't going to force any theater to play it even those that had contractual obligations to do it and then it was just crazy thing where a few hundred independent theaters did play it and It was also released online simultaneously by a few companies that were willing to do that. Not many people ended up seeing results. So if that was Kim Jong UN's goal he was very successful at that. Most people didn't see the film and Sony was severely damaged by the hack. So you gotta give the wind North Korea here very sadly well. Let's talk about how Sony was damaged by the hack. You spent a lot of time. I'm looking through documents. Released in the hack for part of your research and your book the Big picture the fight for the future of movies. So what did it reveal about Sony. And how did it more important reveal. How the studio had kind of lost its way right? So the hacktivists released tons of you know from the top executives at the time as well as internal documents than really sensitive financial stuff and it revealed when it comes to the interview that they had had numerous discussions about something like this happening and didn't take it seriously really. There was a lot of conflict between the top executives at the studio and they weren't just having a lot of trouble coming up with major motion picture franchises that could compete with you know the marvels marvels and the fast and furious is of the world. It was really an amazing insight into a studio that was struggling to adapt to the modern movie business. Well I'm going to ask about marvel because one of the the most remarkable pieces of information in your book is how and why Sony Refuse to pay twenty five million dollars for almost all of Marvel superheroes in the late nineties. So what did that episode say. About how Hollywood is changing and how Sony really missed the future. Yeah Hollywood You know in the late nineties. Not Rule I- franchises. The way it is now is really ruled ruled by movie stars. So Sony thought. Well we've got Adam Sandler we've got will Smith. That's that's what really is valuable. You know we're not gonNA waste our money in the reserve. It was maybe spider-man's valuable but that that's all that's all they wanted. And of course Sony horrifically miscalculated and. There's there's a Lotta stuff in the hack about Sony's attempts to to fix that mistake including trying to revive the spiderman franchise a few years ago. I think it's fair to say that in the wake of the Sony Hack back a lot of studios and a lot of companies probably try to improve their firewalls and had better. It security but do you think there's a bigger less than about Hollywood. That might be remembered from the hack. Do you think it still has an impact on the business into people still talk and think about what happened to Sony people. You know people all the time reference Sony when they when they talk about. How much sensitive stuff should we say on an email? There's a sense that there's this knowledge not to censor knowledge that email is never truly secure. And if you're not necessarily they comfortable with the world knowing about it then you probably shouldn't put it in an email if you don't have something nice to say. Don't say it at all. I guess or at least eight on the phone Ben. Fritz is an editor At The Wall Street Journal and he is the author of the book. The big picture the fight for the future movies Ben. Thanks so much for coming back on the show. John was my pleasure

Tech resurrects James Dean for a new movie
"The Hollywood reporter reporter ran an article. That says James Dean will be brought back on film now. James Dean has been dead since one thousand nine hundred fifty five also. The role is considered the secondary lead. So you're you're going to get a lot of. CG James Dean. The film is called a finding Jack by the CEO of CMG worldwide which represents Danes family said to quote. This opens up a whole new opportunity for many of our clients who are no longer with us Ben just because we have this technology. Should we not doing this. Is this right. Is it right Look we'll see if the movie is successful because unfortunately if it is successful you'll see a lot of copycatting adding that's how Hollywood. That's how Hollywood works. That's how a lot of entertainment works a problem that I have here from reading the Hollywood reporter story is that They said they spent a lot of time. Trying to find the right secondary lead for this part and then determined that a CGI. James Dean was their rest option. I'm not buying that. Yeah I mean how bad is your talent pool such that you can't go like hey possible. James Franco's pretty close like he was kind of looks like extraordinaire to the role. Maybe maybe could find an unknown but yes deficit. Sounds like a gimmick but the idea that the the talent agencies like Oh a lot of our guys are happened happened to be dead we can bring him back. It just sounds like a terrible terrible idea so if you want to look at this very cynically to this has the possibility going back to here. James Franco example of avoiding having to pay a very large sums of money to living well known actors and instead putting a completely really unknown person in a CGI out fed. And then slapping a James Dean skin on them and then calling it a day. It is entirely possible that they would save a lot of money doing this. But I'm not really sure what the dollars and sense are here. So you're thinking that there's going to be a mo cap man or mo cap person running around on stage with whoever the actually does wouldn't wouldn't mo cap motion capture bow cap okay. I'm totally with it. So they are hiring an actor to do the voice though of James Dean so the question. This is a terrible idea. I don't I don't love it and We've we've certainly seen other examples of this before but certainly not not for a lead character. Like for instance. Carrie Fisher is a good example where they did a young version of Carrie Fisher for one of the Star Wars Movies but Young Carrie Fisher didn't exist anymore. She was his older Carrie Fisher at that point so it's in that part it's unavoidable and I would have been I'm more okay with that example I duNno. I just really really curious what this is going to do could this. CG James Dean Win an academy award if is it possible. You're hurting my head I okay. Let's let's let's. Let's talk with that aside.
