John Moore, brought to you by MontrealHandsurgery.com. For relief of trigger finger, call board certified doctor Daniel Durand today. Online and virtual consultation now available. It's the Andrew Carter Morning Show with Ken Connors, CJAD-800. Anyone who's going to hold your attention on the stage.

You have to kind of be a freak. You can be beautiful or you can be ugly, but you can't be plain. When's the new album out? Soon 200 people in that room, each one wants me to be somebody else. They should just let me be. Let you be what? Whenever it is, they don't want me to be.

Bill Brown seems in for John Warville to borrow a line. How did it feel to see the movie? I was blown away. I mean, I went in there with a lot of concerns like a Willy Wonka doing Bob Dylan. I'm in Timothy Chalamet, a very pretty boy and all the rest. But anyway, the fact of the matter is Timothy Chalamet thinks Dylan better than Dylan does.

Uh, his voice is unbelievable, but it is the whole energy that he brought to it, the angry young man. I mean, don't forget, he was like 19 years old when he came to New York City. I mean, he just wanted to, you know, kind of make it. But the whole issue here, of course, in the film, as you pointed out, is this is Bob Dylan, like, I mean, they wanted him to be just a folk singer, essentially. And then, you know, then he went to electric and some fans turned on him, other fans did not.

But it's the relationships he had that really brings this ultiliter. Very interesting. It was Pete Seeger, who introduced him to Nailing Woody Guthrie, who kind of brought him in and made the right connections for him. And then it was Pete Seeger that he ultimately had a bit of a showdown because at the Newport Folk Festival, the banjo totem, Pete played

brilliantly, by the way, by Ed Norton, I was really surprised. Almost like a, you know, vanilla version, well, certainly compared to Bob Dylan and the two of them, like were buddies and they had issues. But the very fractious relationships, interestingly enough with Joan Baez, who was like, you know, they were paired together, they had an affair.

And then they would go up and down like in terms of like who is becoming more popular and then when Bob decided to go more electric. It's just Al Fanning by the way places. Lady Love Sylvia who like pops in and out as well. Just he was his own person and he didn't play well with the other children. Interesting relationships also with

Johnny Cash, I had no idea that the two of them, like each other, way back when, who kind of supported the angry young Bob. And, you know, the various players that come in and out of this, I mean, this goes back to the, you know, from like covers a period of like 1961 to 1965, where the ultimate culmination. But what a time in America to Bill, Bill, Bill, what a time in America is almost like a history lesson. Those first five years of the 60s.

absolutely and i guess that's the whole thing in terms of it in terms of like why the folk people wanted him to stay folk to call out you know justice racial injustice war and so on so on and uh... this is where he kind of decided what he wanted to be his own person didn't see himself as a folk singer you saw himself as a singer i mean embracing all kinds of music be it that pop folk rock whatever and i think that's what

people thought he was going to be their profit uh... the focusing in community and he said well i want to be my own person and uh... this is what happened but the the basic thing is shallow me kind of brings it all off like the angry young man and uh... the just the you we would have thought it possible specially willy won't go it's interesting that you uh... you reference to johnnie cash because uh... the uh... the director james mangal did walk the line yet he did yeah

Which, yeah, James Mangold wouldn't have seen it, yeah. That was his big Johnny Cash movie. This is his big music movie, but I mean James Mangold saw a bunch of other stuff. I think he did an epic joke that they're to the last one. But somehow it all kind of comes together. It's not at the 8th, about two and a half hours or two hours and 20 minutes.

And the audience, you know, it's one of those movies that you hear performance and people in the audience don't know if they should be clapping after that song. It's like where people are, you know, so enrapped in the music and, you know, it's on screen, but they like people were clapping at times. It's called a complete unknown. It's now playing in theaters. We have one more music. No, go ahead, Jimmy.

I didn't want to leave you but had to I didn't want to fight but we did started to cry then remembered

What a performance bill. That was one of the highlights of last year's Grammy awards are set for February 2nd this year. That's a tough, that's going to be a tough act to follow last year. Remember, they had that to do it with Luke Colmes and Tracy Chapman doing class car and then then every, there wasn't a dry eye in the house last year when joining Mitchell came out and saying also, uh, I gotta say, so it would be like Monica Barbero, who plays the Joan Bias here. Like they all have amazing voice that they bring all of that energy, but the voice is

You, like, I mean, who thought that, uh, Ed Norton could do big Pete Seeger and start singing, you know, this land is my, your land and so on and so forth. And just, uh, surprising performances all around, but, uh... The reason I bring up the Grammys, though, Bill, because tonight's, and Sunday night, the CBS has two Grammys specials, if you're a music fan, uh, tonight at nine o'clock, two hours special, they're calling it Grammy Grates, the stories behind the songs,

So they're going to have interviews of people who wrote and performed the winners of a song, a Grammy song of the year. And then on Sunday night, they're going to have Grammy most memorable moments. So they're going to show a lot of the performances and what happened backstage and some of the mishaps and what have you. So if you're a music fan tonight and on Sunday night on CBS, a couple of two other specials on the show. Check it out. Yeah, absolutely. Bill, we're going to check you out on come Monday morning. Have a good weekend. You too, my friend.

This is the Andrew Carter podcast. Like what you hear? Catch the show live Monday to Friday 5 30 tonight.

Ken Connors and for Andrew at 710. Well, unfortunately, there are people out there who operate charity scams and try to take advantage of your generosity and compassion. And obviously, and sadly, this hurts the many important and vital organizations that rely on individual donations and that allows them to continue offering crucial services. Sam Watts of the Welcome Hall mission is on the line with more on this and he's joining me for a chat. Sam, good morning.

Well, good morning, Ken, and I hope you're having a Merry Christmas and heading for a wonderful 2025. Yes, here's to a healthy and safe 2025. How was Christmas at the at the house?

Oh, it was wonderful. Both of my daughters were back home. One of them lives in Quebec City, the other one in Ottawa. So it was kind of fun to have them back here for a little bit. And we did the usual thing of making the rounds with family and also having a great turkey dinner between the four of us. Oh, you sent me a nice photo too of your all out for a walk. I think one morning this week.

yeah well we're fortunate to live uh... not too far from the lake shore and so we can walk along uh... by lax and we and it's a totally wonderful walk uh... between be concealed in their village so lovely lovely spot and uh... we're just fortunate to be able to live in that area right uh... was sent across good to everyone

Oh, I think Santa Claus was more than good to everyone. One of the ways that I evaluate a little bit of time off is how many books I get to read. And so far I'm working on one and I think I'll get through two or three. All right. Sam, let me put you to work here and talk about charity scams. How prevalent are they? Are they growing? Sadly, yes. And I think the technology that has made it easy for donors to give, I.e. the Internet.

has also created a whole bunch of different scams. And I think there are three major areas of concern that I think are worth pointing out to your listeners, Ken. The first one is the obvious wrong website trick, which is a donor will go in looking for a charity to give to. We'll Google something and we'll come up with a website that looks completely legitimate, but it is not. It is not the charity or the type of charity.

And so they end up giving money to something that is not what they intended to give to. And that can be anything from outright fraud where it's a criminal organization that's just collecting money to an organization that is not clear about what it is that they're collecting money for. And there are a number of those, even sort of mainstream things that advertise regularly. And if you were to Google them and find out what's behind them, you'd say, well, gee whiz, I didn't know that I'd be giving to that.

And I think that's one area where donors can be very cautious in making sure that if they go online and use a website that they're familiar with the website and that it connects into proper charity in one that they've previously investigated. So a red flag would be like if there's a certain amount of vagueness as to where your money is going to go, right? That's something that should raise an eyebrow.

Yeah, and I would say big even further because it's not that hard to find out whether the organization is in fact legitimate, often advocated for giving to organizations that target your heartstrings, but also that you're familiar with. If you're not familiar with it, if you haven't heard of it or you don't know much about it, do your investigation before giving. I think the second one that I see a lot is what I call receipt scams.

where an organization will offer you a receipt, a tax receipt for more money than you're giving. And that should be a big red flag too because you certainly don't want to run into any kind of audit yourself with the CRA. And this is something that a legitimate charity should never be doing. If somebody gives $100, you should be getting a tax receipt for $100, not for

in kind that has a particular value that can be established with a receipt. You can give a receipt for that amount, but you've got to be very careful that you're not getting yourself involved in something that is not a legitimate tax receipt because when it comes to tax time, you don't want to be in a battle with the tax man. And I think that's the second one. The third one that I talked about quite frequently is guilting people into giving.

I really believe that donors and I know Montrealers are very generous people, but you want to be someone who gives because you decide to give. Not because all of a sudden somebody appears in front of you and says here give this or you're being asked for example to drop some money in a hat and you know the kind of giving that doesn't get you a tax receipt for example. And I think again being very deliberate and very intentional can help you avoid the kinds of things that would amount to

I'll call this one charity misrepresentation because what you're doing is effectively asking a donor.

using that, that famous instrument of guilt to try and get somebody to give. Absolutely. Sam Watts of the welcome home mission. So wrong website, be aware of that receipt scams and, uh, and the ploy of a guilty Sam, uh, I had, uh, James Hughes on, uh, I guess was earlier in this week. Uh, how are things a ferry in terms of, uh, trying to get as many people into, uh, someplace warm, uh, during these, uh, these cold nights?

Well, at the Welcome Hall mission, we're almost always full. I can't think of it like when we're not full. And, you know, whether it's cold or whether it's warm, people who are experiencing homelessness need a place to stay temporarily. And of course, our whole mission at the mission is to help people get back into permanent housing. A shelter and a place to warm up is not a destination. It's just a temporary pit stop on the way back to housing.

But at the same time, it's a concern because we are certainly seeing more people this winter who are on the outside. And that's a challenge because we have a policy and welcome all mission of no refusals. So what we do when we're full is we find somebody who has a space and we use the nevets that circulates around among the major organizations and we get that person over to where that space is.

And at the extreme, and we had a couple of those in recent cold snaps, we allow them to stay in the cafeteria, which keeps them warm for the night. And so that way we're not turning somebody back out into the cold, which I think is not something that we want to be doing.

It's challenging, Ken. This is I've never seen a time in my tenure anyway when we've been having more people experiencing homelessness. But at the same time, we've never housed more people in the history of the mission. I think it was well over 200 people accompanied back into housing just this year. And we're going to continue doing that. We're accelerating that part, but we're asking our governments to step up and give us the tools so that we can actually get the job done.

Sam, always a pleasure having you on the show. All the best to you and your family and of course the team at the Welcome Home Mission as well for 2025. Thank you, Ken, and the same to you. All the best to all your listeners too. Much agree. And a merry Christmas to those who are struggling because there's probably some of those folks who are listening to you this morning as well. Absolutely well put. Thank you, Sam. 718 on, yeah, it's cold out there this morning. It feels like minus 13 with the windshield factor.

minus 10, minus 13 with a bit of a win. Minus 11 is gonna be the daytime high. That's where the environment Canada is telling us the air quality is not good. We have a smog warning. And the thing we're keeping an eye on right now is that tomorrow night, there's some freezing rain in the forecast. Minus five on tomorrow night and then plus three on Sunday. So freezing rain turning into rain on Sunday. All right. When we come back, a review of the new movie.

A complete unknown. This is the one about Dylan. Timothy Chalamet is a star. Ed Norton is in it as well. Bill Brown's been sought yesterday. It opened on Christmas Day in theaters everywhere. So Bill's going to give us his review when we come back on CJAD 800. Don't miss the two-minute checkup with Dr. Mitch weekday mornings at 750.

Your two-minute checkup with Dr. Mitch Schulman, brought to you by board-certified hand surgeon Dr. Daniel Durand for relief of trigger finger. Book a consultation now at montfrealhandsurgery.com. 754, good morning, Dr. Mitch. Good morning to you, sir. Mitch, if you've been up with us, you've probably heard us telling people on the news that air quality is just terrible today, so we're feeling for people who have respiratory issues. It'd take it easy. Also, the cold can make your breathing more difficult, so if you're going to go out

put something over your face, whether it's a scarf or a mask, whatever works for you, to help humidify and warm up the air before it hits your lungs, but also to clear out some of the yuck that's out there. I don't know what's going on. It's just incredible. The other day, I don't know about you guys, but the mist that I was driving in, I thought it was, wait, you're at a certain age, you start to wonder, is this my life?

It was what, and I came home, I told my wife it was white knuckle time. There's a stretch of the 40 in your Ikea, Mitch. I couldn't see a thing. I couldn't find the the on ramp to the highway. Isn't that terrifying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't like driving this one. Please take it easy, people. I don't want to see when you merge. I'm kidding. Mitch, I'm going to put you on the spot here, Dr. Mitch, and ask you a delicate question. And it is what you're peeing frequency can say about your health. Look, it is true.

They'll say that you should pee about six or eight times during the day, but every three or four hours. But the honest to goodness truth is, it's a function of how hot is it? How much are you sweating? Don't forget you sweat even in a cold. What are you eating? What are you drinking? What's going on in your life? So basically what I tell people is, you need to drink enough liquid, or whether you're getting it in your food or in your drinks, so that when you wake up in the morning, first thing, your urine is dark and concentrated. That's normal. You didn't get up all night and pee very often, hopefully.

During the day, if you're drinking enough, your urine gets clear. So an almost clear urine that doesn't hurt, doesn't have blood in it, all those things are cool that you're not going very often, that you don't feel the urge that you must go, that's all normal. The moment that you start seeing dark urine during the day, it either means you're not drinking enough or something else is going on. The moment that it hurts to pee, the moment that you feel the sense of urgency to pee, those are all not normal.

People often ask me, but I say foam or I'll say bubbles for want a better terminology. When I pee, that's a function of the amount of protein in your urine. And it's normal to get it from time to time. But if you're getting it constantly, it's getting worse. You could be spilling protein in your urine. If you're going to the bathroom very often, do you have diabetes and are you spilling sugar? If there's too much sugar in your urine, it's going to make you want to go to the bathroom more often.

Certain medications that people take will make them go to the bathroom more often. Some of the anti-diabetic medications work that way. Some of the medicines that we use for either high blood pressure or for congestive heart failure when the fluid backs up into the lungs are called diuretics. Well, a diuretic makes you go to the bathroom more often. The key thing is change. If something is changing, something doesn't feel right, then definitely it needs to be looked into. But remember, even in the winter, you're going to sweat.

And it's really important to stay well hydrated. And you should be going to the bathroom to pee on a regular basis. And if you're not and you're drinking enough, that's also going to be an issue. And I've got to figure out what's going on. All right. So I'll make sure you're saying so during the day, it's six to eight. Was that the range you said? About every three to four hours on average, maybe a little bit more, a little bit less. It really, the key thing is the change.

If you always go to the bathroom with a certain degree of frequency, a certain degree of regularity, and all of a sudden that changes, either you're going more often or less often, that's a tip off that something has changed. And if you're maintaining the same diet, maintaining the same activity, the temperature and everything's about the same, but it has changed, that's a tip off. Something is going on, it needs to be looked into. But certainly pain, burning when you pee, blood in your urine,

Dark, dark, dark, you're in the persist, dark during the day. These are all warning signs that something is going on. Dr. Mitch, always loved the info. Thank you so much for joining me again this morning, Mitch. I appreciate it. Always a pleasure. Look forward to talking to you again soon. Very good. Dr. Mitch Schulman. This is the Andrew Carter podcast. Like what you hear, catch the show live Monday to Friday 5 30 tonight.

742 with Ken sitting in for Andrews off for a couple of weeks, over the holidays, happy to be here with you and let me keep you company. Brenda O'Farrell is the editor-in-chief of a couple of terrific newspapers, the 1019 report, the 1510 West, and she joins us for a chat this morning. Hi, Brenda. Good morning, Ken. I screwed up the numbers this morning, and Tom Whalen looked at me with such disappointment. Well, Whalen will keep you straight, but for sure. He certainly will. Brenda, how are you?

Yeah, it was wonderful. We got our white Christmas just in time, right? It was picture perfect out here, you know, and it still is actually the trees are just lined white and everything's clean and crisp. It's quite pretty. Yeah, absolutely. Brandon, before we look into 2025, give me a quick review of 2024 in terms of the two papers. You satisfied with the year?

Yeah, it's really coming along. The whole adventure of launching these papers has been a bit of an experiment. There's no denying that. We came up with what I've termed a sort of a different business model. And we put it to the test and it's hopefully will be the model of what this industry can do moving forward. And I'm very hopeful when I look forward.

So, speaking of looking forward, so give me a couple of things that you're going to keep an eye on from the perspective of both papers and the areas they cover and stories that your readers are going to be interested in. Well, I think there's going to be a lot of things that will be coming into focus in 2025. In some ways, it's going to be an almost a perfect storm of issues that have been brewing for some time.

And there's going to be triggers that will put these issues into a tighter focus in the coming year. One of them, of course, is everybody talks on the federal level of this pending election that will be coming up in the new year. But there will also be fiscal elections across the board in Quebec. And I think the number one issue that will be on the ballot in most municipalities will be development.

There's no question that there are almost every town will see development and lots of it. But the question that voters and local politicians will be weighing and wrestling with is how this development will happen and what it will look like. Because I think we've reached the point that the era of the single family home

which has been the defining feature of suburbs is gone. It's over. Development will not be adding single family homes to most places anymore. And I think that will be a fundamental shift. It's already happening in many places, but now I think multi-family dwellers and everything from two

to hundreds of units will be the norm going forward. And you're already seeing it out in Bulljoy, Dorian? Well, again, you know, yes, you're seeing it in most places. Even places like, you know, where you have the big lots and the lots and the trees and everything else, like St. Lazar and Hudson, and even like throughout the West Island, don't need more single family homes.

OK. What else is on your list? Well, again, keeping up the element, the other thing that came up this year that is going to really come into sharpness focus next year is the new conventional cloud maps that have come into play. And I think that's going to be another wrinkle in this whole how-le-developed look. If you take an example, it will grow at one of the fastest growing municipalities in Quebec

in the last decade, for sure. You know, how this is going to be affected in an enormous way by the flood map. And I'll just throw some numbers at you. In the up until 2024, early 2024, the valuation role in Bulljoy, like basically the sum of all the property value in the town was

just over $8 billion. There's a new role that came into effect for 2025, so all the tax bills will be based on the new valuation role. That has jumped to $11.3 billion. So you can see the progress. But if you impose the flood map on that, officials in the town of Odoradodio have basically estimated that that's going to, right off the bat, wipe out

just over $2 billion worth of property value. And it's going to take out huge swaths of buildings. And just to keep you an example of just how extensive it is, I'm not sure how many of your listeners are familiar with the ins and outs of old Roy, but they have this huge, what they call the city vision campus.

It's a major high school, multiple buildings, an arena, sports complex. It's been there for years and it has grown, you know, it has been developed itself and it is a hub of education and cultural and sports activities. It is now included in the front sill. So it can no longer, it may not, no longer be able to be developed.

be used in certain ways, and what is the value of that asset now? Major impact. Major impact. Major impact. And not to mention, if your personal home is included within that line, all of a sudden, what might be your retirement nestings, but it may not be insurable or sellable. So this is going to be huge impact, and I think that's going to look at where

You know, there's going to be demand for compensation for the federal government for how do you impose this on people and wipe out their assets? It's going to have a big impact. Next, we go off on another tangent, if you will. I've got a minute. Just to give you guys up, OK? The other thing that's going to be coming into play in 2025 is the new Remline. Yeah.

You know, that's going to change the way people move around quite a bit, both on and off the island, off the West End of it. And what impact is that going to have on the existing transport system? Because there is a community rail system that serves the off-island area. And now, when it goes on to the island, it's going to be in competition with the web. You know, we have a transport system that is already facing a

And, you know, a deficit as it stands. What happens when it loses users? And the revenue from those systems, that line drops because people migrate to the realm. What's going to happen then? These are all questions I think that people will be juggling with. And stories that you'll be keeping an eye on. No doubt. Brenda, always a pleasure having you on the show and all the best to you in 2025. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you, Ken. Thank you. All the best. Thank you, too. Brenda O'Farrell from the 1019 report. Bulljoyed Oreo in that area and the 1510 West Island. A power packed version of the number one morning show in Montreal. If you're on the fly, this is the Andrew Carter podcast.

Well, Matt, it's 20 minutes after eight o'clock. And these are nice notes here on the text line. 514-7900. Use it for celebrations. We'll do them just before the nine o'clock. Chris Bumbry from JoeBlo.com is on the line. Good morning. Hey, Ken. On the line on autopilot. He's here in studio. Yeah, I'm right there. Right here. You're looking at me. I love God. Didn't get much sleep last night. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. Where do you drive in from?

Oh, I drove in from NDG, actually. Yeah. Did you recently move there? About a year ago. About a year ago. But I lived there for like seven years beforehand all over NDG. So I know that area very well. Close to the Monkland Village. I'm actually right next door to the Glen. If you, my office, I can actually look at the Glen. If I was to climb out the window and on the ground floor, I could get the Glen in like seconds. So I guess it's great if ever I have like a problem.

Uh, listen, we thought we'd take a look ahead to 2025 and some of the entertainment stories and, uh, you know, things that are gonna be streaming and movie projects that, uh, we're each looking forward to. So what do you want to start with? Okay. Well, the one that I'm probably most excited for is, uh, 28 years later, which is the, the,

Long-awaited sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 days later. I'm dying to see that. I mean, 28 days later is one of my favorite horror movies. It actually had a sequel that was pretty good, 28 weeks later. I don't know if it's going to be canon, but this is going to be great. I mean, you got Ray Fines in it, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The trailer that they put out a couple weeks ago was amazing. I love Danny Boyle too, so this is for me.

And it was all show with iPhones, apparently, which is crazy. But if you look at the trailer, it looks pretty lavish. But the original was shot in digital, too. And I remember that was such a provocative thing back then. So it comes out this year? Yeah, it comes out this summer. In 2025, summer 2025. I have one for you, but I'm going to play a little audio first for us. Go ahead, Jimmy. Oursville, Ruby, Cuba, a mafia. Keeps them guessing like some kind of polygame prevents them from asking the most important question. Why?

Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover them? Iconic scene from the Oliver Stone JFK. It's so funny that you play that because I literally watched JFK about two weeks ago. Did you really? And 4K. Yeah, yeah. I love them. Holds, holds up. Yeah, yeah. That's the great scene to Donald Sutherland. Oh, my God. There's a great story. I've told this a couple of times on the year, but he reversed that scene for days and days walking around Paris with his wife.

He wanted it to be so natural when he wanted it came time to shoot it. And it's just one of the iconic scenes in movie history. I play that because there's another JFK movie coming out. It's called Assassination. It's being directed by Barry Levinson. Yeah. Yeah. And it's co-written by David Mamet. Yeah, Mamet. And the cast, get a little of the cast, Jared Leto. Mm-hmm.

Al Pacino, Jessica Chastain, Brendan Fraser, and a guy I will go see anything in, Brian Cranston. Me too. Me too. Brian Cranston I didn't do it a couple of years ago. Great guy. Yeah. And one of the great voices too. If he'd never acted, he could make a living in a voice work. I agree with you 100%. And it's funny you mentioned Brian Cranston because I always think of Breaking Bad. And one of my other most anticipated movies for the year is Nobody Too with Bob Odenkirk.

who was salt on on breaking back. Oh, yeah. And I just I don't know. I love Bob Odenkirk as an action star. I find it really funny that he's become kind of like the the modern like Liam Neeson almost like the next heir of the throne. But I mean, I thought nobody was one of the best action movies I've seen in a while and

The sequels finally coming out into the director a little while ago. This guy from Thailand and he was saying that it's insane how and what good shape Odenkirk keeps himself in because he does all his own stunts and then apparently Christopher Lloyd is back and he's like 85 and his request was he wanted more action scenes.

Hey, it's funny you should mention this because old and Kirk, you probably know this. You're on top of everything. He's going to be on Broadway this spring in Glengarry Glen Ross. I know. I want to go see it. I saw Cranston do network on Broadway just before he won the Tony, and I'm thinking I'll have to go see.

I'll have to go see Odenkirk. He'd be great on Glingler Egan Ross. Do you know who he's playing? I'm not sure who he's playing, but also on the cast is Kieran Culkin from Succession, right? Wow, yeah. And Bill Burr, comedian Bill Burr, isn't it? I could see that. I could totally see that. That's, well, that's going to be great. The only thing I'm cringing about when it comes to this is if I go, how much the tickets are going to cost? Yeah, they're going to be expensive. I sat in the nosebleeds for network, but you know what? Faye Dunaway was there. Faye Dunaway was there at Network, because she had been in Network, because she was there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Standing in line with the rest of us. Wow, really? Yeah, yeah, at some moment.

Yeah, a great film too of the 1992 film with what a cast to Jack. Jack Lemon. Yeah. Put the coffee down. Al Pacino. I actually played the Moss role that Ed Harris played in Glenn Glarygon Ross once in a university, in an acting class that I was in, our outcomes was we had to do Glenn Glarygon Ross and I got cast in the Ed Harris role. And I was all right. I think because I was bald, that's why I got the role.

You know who kind of gets forgotten in that cast because Alec Baldwin's great and Czech lemon and what have you. Kevin Spacey. Yeah, Kevin Spacey, right? Yeah, yeah, an unshoey role too. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What else you have for me? Well, you know, I mean, everybody's looking forward to Superman, I guess. I mean, that one I'm kind of, you know, not sure about. I mean, I'm definitely suffering from superhero fatigue a little bit, but I think it's going to be one of the big stories of the year and that crypto, the super dog is, you know, Superman's dog is in it and that that's been going super viral the last few weeks.

Definitely on Joe Blow. That's the movie that everybody's talking about. But I got another one for you, though. If you like good, true historical dramas, there's a Nuremberg movie coming out with Russell Crowe playing Gurring, Michael Shannon playing the prosecuting US Attorney, yeah, and Rami Malek. So that sounds like a really interesting movie. Well, yeah. When's that coming? So that should premiere probably a TIFF in September, I would assume. Can or TIFF? It's gonna be one of the two and it'll probably be out in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Remember the Denzel Washington movie Man on Fire? Of course, of course. Yeah, the TV show. Yeah, yeah. What you heard about it? Yeah, yeah, it's a Netflix series. Yeah, with Yahya Abdul-Mantin, who's a good actor, but I don't know. I mean, how can you beat that? So he's playing John Creasy. Yeah, yeah. And because that was based on a whole series of novels, right? You know, and he died in the movie, but he didn't die in the books.

I don't know. I mean, it's just, how do you beat Denzel, though? I mean, I feel like that, to me, that's one of my absolute favorite action movies, and I just don't see anybody being able to even come close to Denzel in that movie. I think we're at home, we've probably watched it at least half a dozen times. It's just, yeah, that great scene where he's got the guy strapped to the car.

And then there's an all out of time. There's an alternate ending where he kills the bad guys at himself by using that exact same thing. If anybody seemed really, you know, about it. Yeah, it's on the DVD and it would have been a great ending. Apparently it was Denzel Washington's preferred ending, but they didn't go with it. Something else is coming up too. Claire Danes love Claire Danes. Love her too. Homeland, right?

Yeah, great on home. And Matthew Reese from the American Z. That's one of my favorite shows ever. And he was great on Perry Mason as well. Does it Matthew Reese turn up in the Saturday Night movie about SNL? It does as George Carlin. George Carlin, right? Yeah. Anyways, Claire Danes and Matthew Reese are going to start an upcoming Netflix series called The Beast and Me. It's a mystery thriller about an author, Claire Danes, who suspects her neighbor of murder.

Betty's guilty to there's so much stuff out there and in the works like it's never ending I mean I think we're in the era of like peak content to though with like streaming is they have to keep they have to keep things going I was telling Aaron actually about this the other day I just saw a really interesting documentary on Netflix the drives on the drops on

New Year's Day about Jerry Springer. Do you remember Jerry Springer? Yeah. Yeah, it's like every episode someone threw a chair. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And it's a two-part documentary where they track down all the people that used to work on his show and a bunch of the old guests and kind of get behind the scenes. Man, it's amazing. Some of the stuff that they did in that, could you imagine them trying to do it now? How canceled everybody? Everybody involved with that would be. I feel like people would go to prison for that probably now.
