Former Navy SEALs, Sean Ryan, shares real stories from real people from all walks of life on the Sean Ryan Show. Who is somebody you'd like to see on the show? I think Tommy would be really funny. I would love to interview Tommy Lee. I was on a tour bus with Tommy Lee. I stayed on tour. We went to a few shows, and he trashed me off. And my mom sees this motley crew tour bus because my mom obviously knows who Tommy Lee is. She's like, you were just with Tom. And I was like, yeah. The Sean Ryan Show on YouTube or wherever you listen.

So the phones we go where Debbie Schlissel, debit us politics dot com, debit us movies dot com. She is standing by to tell us what's new at the box office this weekend. As if we didn't know this has been several years in the making and it seems to be everywhere. It's everywhere. I want to go see it. Don't tell me that it's terrible. Debbie Schlissel, what about the movie Wicked? No pressure, Debbie.

So no, I liked it. But listen, my problem with it is it's beautifully done. The costumes are amazing. The sets are amazing. The songs are good. The performances are amazing. Ariana Grande is very good. So is the Arevo. My only concern is

Do you really want to sit around for three hours almost in a movie theater? It was like two hours and 43 minutes. Two hours for the night. It's a long, it's a long, and this is by the way, just the first half. I think that's what you stole the words out of my mouth. This is just the first half. Part two is in 2025 and they say it's probably going to be out.

for Christmas next year. Now one thing I will say is that this movie and a Gladiator 2 also out today are probably going to bring back the movie theaters at least temporarily because last night I went to go see something else and I saw a ton of people at the Wicked screening at the movie theater late at night and people were dressing up, the parking lot was filled

Um, a lot of parents bringing their kids and so on. So I really enjoyed it, but it's a little slow. It's very long. They could have cut a lot out of this. Um, boys, they're merchandising. Like I've never seen before at the movie theaters. I mean, there's pink and green popcorn. They had, they had special drinks, this green apple flush Coca-Cola thing. Um, there's a lot of, a lot of way, turn money here. And I'm glad it's good for movie theaters.

um and it's listed it's fine for kids there are a lot of guys in the movie wearing skirts and stuff boingying is one of them and you know so there's subtle things like that trying to push stuff on kids but other than that it's very good very entertaining

I just want to know if you're going to take your young kid, are they going to sit there for almost three hours? I don't know. Probably not. Maybe a teen. I've seen my do it. Look, I've said this before. If you don't really love musicals, you probably don't need to go see this. You wait until it starts streaming and then you can watch it in pieces. You know, you can watch 45 minutes here in an hour there and you'll get the whole thing.

That's kind of the way I watch streaming movies anyway. I mean, I rarely make it all the way through a movie anymore. Watch it for like one day I'll watch half of it. The next day I'll finish watching the other half. I'm officially old. Or the movies are officially too long and slow. That could be it. That's entirely special. So, listen, I enjoyed it. I saw the musical years ago. This is obviously much longer and more detailed than the musical, but it's funny, by the way, and it's cute.

I think adults taking their kids, they will love it. Now, Gladiator II, I did not care for this. I did like the original Gladiator movie that was good. This is kind of like a cheaper retelling of the same story using new characters and some of the old ones. So basically, there's a guy who's wife is killed, he's enslaved, and he becomes the new Gladiator. He's Russell Crowe's son, and we come to learn very early on.

And it's very obvious. And there's these two twin, effeminate twin prime ministers or emperors, rather, and one of whom is played by Ariana Grande's real life, new boyfriend, and who is also in Wicked. So this guy is Glickard this weekend. Wow.

and uh... i didn't i care for him in either movie uh... and i can't believe that he's he goes the way of ariana grande just saying uh... uh... and that's a washington is in the movie and he says that he was a he kissed a guy but that was cut out of the movie listen they should have cut a lot of things out of this movie it was two hours and twenty one minutes long it was long flowing repetitive i could have done without that uh...

Beyond that, just a lot of the things were silly. If you're seeing this for fight scenes, yes, this is your movie, but the story is awful, it's thin, it's slow, it's obvious and predictable. And one scene, they have a fight scene in the Coliseum and it's filled with water and there's these monster shark things. I mean, come on, come on. Now that they're fighting on boats, come on. It just wasn't for me because of all this silliness, the length,

the cheapening retelling of the story uh... i was bored one hearing is you were not entertained yeah no the point seems yes but even those were silly and ridiculous and by the way it's very bloody and gory i think much more so than they were just a while you by i was already going to go see it now you've really talked me into it but it's all about it you know me

Love it. You're all about the heading. What about anything streaming that's worthwhile? You know, we got a long weekend coming up here. Not this one, obviously, but next weekend. People may be ready. We won't get to talk to you next Friday. So maybe, you know, some folks would like to know what they can kick back and enjoy. Seems like there's a lot of Christmas moves. Aside from red one, there's that dear Santa thing with Jack Black that I saw. There's another one that's coming up that just seems like you can't turn around. This year is the year of the Christmas movie.

You know, the top two movies right now on Netflix are one Christmas movie with Lacey Shabir. I started to watch it last week, and I thought it was stupid. I just have to say, an ice sculpture comes to life. No, thank you. That's right. I like something a little more realistic. There's another one that is number one now. And I forgot the name of the guy who's on it, but he was on one tree hill. Chad, Michael Murray, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that. Yeah.

And also last night I saw Bonhoeffer, which was, I was so disappointed. First of all, I was disappointed already because it's made by Angel Studios, which is a sponsor of Candace Owens, hateful anti-Semitic neo-Nazi podcasts. And Bonhoeffer was fought anti-Semitism and gave his life as a Christian minister to fight this kind of stuff and went to Nazis.

so he's turning over in his grave and they're pretending they're fighting anti-Semitism with this movie while they sponsor her i thought that movie was long slowly boring two hours and eleven minutes that flashbacks did a disservice to bonhoe for read the books about him much better well there you go thank you daddy have a wonderful Thanksgiving and uh... will chat with you in a couple of weeks when we're in full christmas slash hanaka season swing

amen to that happy thanksgiving to everybody richard valerie and all of the list same to you debbie thank you so much that she didn't mention you steve well she doesn't want you to have a happy thanksgiving he's like i'm i'm the power behind the throne i disagree a little too much you think so
