Jonas Knox, Brady Quinn, and LaVar Arrington kicked off the week for Dan Patrick and broke down how the NFL continues to take control of every holiday from other sports. Dan is joined by a pair of famous sports fans, as David Spade and Bryan Cranston join the show!
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
That's right, it is a Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. He's LeVar Arrington. I'm Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys. You can normally hear us Monday through Friday six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific. We are the show before this show here every single day during the week, alongside Brady Quinn, who is not with us, but it'll be Stix and I taking you all the way up until noon Eastern time, nine am Pacific here on Fox Sports Radio. And you know, some people have said, are you guys you know what is this like a Memorial Day takeover of the Dan Patrick Show? I mean kind of, I guess. I mean that's what our job is here, that's what our duty is. And apparently there's another takeover that's happening, and it's the NFL continuing their takeover. And the takeover is holiday and holiday action and holiday action when there happens to be another league who's had that holiday all to themselves for several several years now, so much so that Jason Kelsey was on his New Heights podcast talking about how he's a fan of the NFL playing on Christmas.
And on these major holidays, and had this to.
Say, Now, I'm also just a fan of playing on more prime time times, like that's when I'm watching TV, and I like you when football is on the television. So let's keep putting good football games on television when everybody's watching.
I mean, I think it's.
Just good for the game.
Let's keep taking over all the holidays or taking over Thanksgiving, Christmas. NBA, you're never getting that back.
I mean, it's it's it's.
The way it is.
And he's one hundred percent correct.
He ain't live.
They're never getting it back.
Like once the NFL realized I'll wait, like this is doable.
Yeah, we're gonna go ahead and take that too.
And then it, you know, became one game and two games, and it's just this is where we are. And I don't know what the plan would be for the NBA, but if you're the NFL. And by the way, for those of you wondering, well, it's just because you know, Christmas falls on certain days of the week. No, it's over because Christmas is a Thursday this year, a Friday of the year after a Saturday, after that a Sunday a month like, it's going to be a long ass time before anybody can make the argument that well, depending on the day of the week it falls, it's not great for the schedule and the players. The NFL is going to take this over and it's going to be theirs moving forward.
I mean, what else is there to say?
You know, Kelsey nailed it, and I think you you put a bow on it if it's good football. And listen, I look at it like this during the holiday season. The one thing that you get yourself set for during Christmas time, pre Christmas, post Christmas and.
New Year is college football.
So if we're being honest, I don't think about the NBA on on Christmas. Maybe Christmas Day, you're right, but I don't think about the NBA. I think about college football, and I think about bowl games. And now that you have to playoff, it now makes it even more intensified getting into that corridor of the year coming to an end and rounding it out by having, you know, Christmas and then New Year's.
So if you're.
Putting on a quality football game from the National Football League and that's on Christmas Day, hell, if you put two three games on on Christmas Day that are quality matchups of the National Football League. I can guarantee you guar Runtee that you're going to have a tremendously large viewing audience of those games that are taking place.
Totally agree. And I look at it and I go, if you're the NBA, I mean, what do you do?
You just keep trying to chuck along, you know, chuck them up, like like Karl Anthony Townsend.
Hope something goes.
In it, just you know, like for example, you know, the the Christmas schedule for the NFL coming up this year, Cowboys, Commanders, Lions, Vikings, Broncos, Chiefs, Like, all of those are compelling matters. I watch all three, every single anything else, every single one.
There would have to.
Be a dope ass Bowl game on and that game. I would even be switching in and out to all the games depending on what the times that are are playing.
And I'll be honest with you, if you like, who do you think the two worst teams in the NFL are going to be this year? Like if you if you had to right now, guess the Saints, Yeah, and maybe the Browns. If the Saint and the Browns are playing on Christmas. Are you watching that or an NBA game. I'm watching the NFL game.
I'm sorry, I'm.
Sorry, just I don't know. It depends.
Give me the matchup of the NBA game, Give me the matchup of the NBA game.
Then give me what best case scenario.
I mean, look, I mean, if you wanted, you know, best case scenario, you know, maybe it would be a you know, a Thunder Celtics matchup. Or no, I mean, Tatum is going to be out for majority of the year, so let's say Thunder Pacers NBA Finals rematch. I'm watching the rematch. I'm watching the Saints Browns.
I'm watching the Saints Browns. It's it sounds more interesting, it sounds more intriguing. What what's at steak in December for the NBA, for them NBA games?
Nothing?
What's that steak?
I mean, we're we're heading into June, you know what I mean, Like, we're hitting into June and basket NBA season is still going. I don't see there being enough importance to you. Don't again, I don't believe the NBA has a player right now or players outside of you. Being a avid NBA fan, an avid sports fan, I do not believe the NBA has the type of player that can drive the viewership the way that you've had it in in decades past.
Let me, let me, let me paint this scenario for you, all right, Just imagine the NBA to counter program does that rematch of the NBA Finals and it is Pacers and Thunder and the NFL. Just this is a pre example. This is not the matchup, but this is the worst. If you had to pick the two worst teams in the league, and the NFL rolls out Tyler Schuck versus Dylan Gabriel and would do better numbers than the NBA show to rematch in the finals.
But I think it classically comes back to the way the popularity has been grown and the way the popularity has been built. National Football League has always made it a point to make the Shield the most important branding that takes place. Not to mention, guys, we're helmets. So you can look at a matchup, but you'll ultimately find the reasons why that is an intriguing matchup, even if it's two trash teams. And it's also because the NFL doesn't play nearly as many games as the NBA. So it's almost these days, which is one of the best things that the NFL could have ever done, is these days, they've made every game matter more and they're continuing to figure out ways to reward the teams that take every single game and every single week take it seriously, like you know, you're not sitting there like, ah, you know, well, there's more games to be played. We will be fine. It's almost taking on the same type of characteristics in some ways in regard as college football. And that's the reason why we love college football so much historically speaking of course, is that.
You couldn't lose.
If you lost, that meant that your season was in jeopardy after one loss. Now you can lose one, maybe even two games and get into the college football playoff and who knows what happens there. We had a two loss team win the championship this year.
Correct.
Yeah, So at.
The end of the day, I think that there's a level of intensity and that the shield does an excellent job of creating this intensity and passion for consumption of the talent that's going out there on the days that they're playing. And you're right, you only get so much time with the game like people be going through and I'm one of them. We be going through like like postseason, like fallout, like withdraw like. I love the fact that the players get an opportunity to play in the UFL and try to make it into the NFL. It does not quench my thirst for football NFL college.
It does not.
It still feels like there is a departure from what life should be like when football season is not here and to be to have been able to create that type of buy in from a consumer, man, that's an ultimate.
Product, and it's very hard. It's very hard to.
Fight your way back from from that type of established fandom and viewership and buy in.
To a particular league of particular sport.
So there's this old saying that nobody cares about your fantasy football team, like it just in general, when people start complaining about their fantasy football team, it's what, like, man, nobody cares. I don't want to hear about your fantasy team. You know who does care about your fantasy team? The NFL, Because I think fantasy football is as much to do with this as anything, because it's basically gambling, and it was the I guess the show before the gambling show started was fantasy football, So that was sort of your appetizer to get you into what gambling could look like in the NFL. These games late in the season, like that on a Christmas you could look at a Saints Brown's matchup just for example, that's not going to be the matchup because the NFL realizes those teams are terrible. That's why New Orleans and Cleveland don't have a primetime game. But you could set that game up and there's going to be an audience because somebody's going to have a player from one of those teams on their fantasy team. Somebody's going to have money invested in it. They've just done more to make the sport presentable and interesting to people, even if they don't have a team. And we've talked about this before you and I grew up. It was like you had to have a team. Who's your team? And now and you've made the point because of fantasy football, it isn't about that your team is your fantasy team. Yeah, like listen, that's cool. You know so and so play for this team like he's not on my team. That's what's important. And I think the NFL recognize that, and the NFL has taken advantage of that, and I think fantasy football and gambling is the biggest reason why they've could just continued to take over, because you could put any matchup you wanted on and counter the NBA's matchup, whatever it is, whatever interesting storyline the NBA things they have. More people are gonna watch the NFL because the NFL has done a better job of making their product and their league presentable and interesting to the consumer.
And that's why they've seen the spike in the numbers. And you can do about it. You don't have a Michael Jordan that can combat a Walter Payton. You don't have a Shaquille O'Neill that can combat a Ray Lewis. You don't have a Kobe Bryant that can combat a Peyton Manning.
You don't.
You don't have the star power. And that's no shade, I promise, that's no shade towards towards the you know SGA's or the Anthony Edwards in the league, the Jason Tatum's or whoever else you have as a the Yiannis or the Jokich's. It's no shade, I promise. They just don't have the draw that a Shaquille O'Neill had. You had an opportunity with shaq, You had an opportunity with Kobe, You had an opportunity with MJ and Scottie Pippen and even the Mailman like by by Market, you know, Magic Johnson. You had the opportunities to have a captive audience and a large, tremendously passionate viewing audience when you develop those brands, but you're you're at the risk of having strong branded players in the NBA versus a strong brand the Shield that continues to prove that even if Peyton Manning leaves, even if Tom Brady leaves, even if any of the best of the best players that play in the National Football League retire and are done, this league just continues to grow more and more and more, and they're finding more ways to expand, and they build that off of the brand of the Shield. And that might have been the best asset created by the NFL owners.
And and and what we've.
Watched Paul Tagliabu start and and and have watched Roger Goodell continue to grow and build. It's just it's they have created something so strong that they can continue to widen the gap between other sports, at least domestically.
And also to your point on Goodell, I don't think he gets enough credit because a lot of it's, you know, it's the cool thing to do, booth the commissioner, Like you know, like the cool thing to do is boo the commissioner. You know, when when Gary Bettman comes out on the ice, they boom in the NHL, you know, like Rob manf forgets boomed and he said some dumb things before in the past, but that's the cool thing.
Godell gets booed all that stuff.
The one thing you.
Can be critical of maybe the way he handled punishments and the NFL having too much say when it came to off field crimes, and you know there was obviously the mismanagement of the Ray Rice video and what happened afterwards. All of that is fair criticism. He did not do a great job. But if from a business standpoint, he's hitting out of the park. Like from a business standpoint, there's a reason why the owners re elect him every single time because he has had an eye to that to your point, and he has recognize there's an ability to grow the game and to cater to an audience that if we do that, we will far surpass any other quote unquote competition that's out there. And I think that's what's happened, and he deserves a lot of that credit as well.
Well you hit it earlier, And I just end with this. The mic drop is Goodell being able to be able to incorporate and implement gambling and it being.
A legal deal where you're able to do it.
They're they're opening up sports books in in the arenas, in the stadiums. Now, that's probably the singular pad on the back that a boy that Roger Goodell gets from these owners because it has probably taken revenues up significantly in terms of what they're able to bring in and what they weren't able to bring in. But it still was out there and it still existed Jonas. Now they're able to bring that into their doors and add that to their bottom line. So yeah, I mean the things that they've done, the things that Roger Goodell has done have been very strategically sound, very intentional and purpose and placing, and it's working.
You're seeing it work.
As you mentioned, You've created a larger fan base based upon fantasy football. People who aren't even serious football fans still get involved with fantasy football. So in even if it's not an aggressive way, a passionate way of getting involved with the game, you still have people that are passive, passive fans that are still getting involved with the game because fantasy football brings them together. It's like a night of Sorry, or night of Monopoly or whatever it may be, you know what I mean.
So it's super smart man.
And by the way, speaking of sorry, Lee to Laps, our executive producer here, Lee, how many fantasy football.
Leagues are you in each year?
At least four, but probably closer to five.
Okay, Like he's a degenerate I mean. And by the way, he still hasn't paid anybody first, I have paid them on.
He said he paid it all.
He said he he holds the money people.
Yeah, And if.
That I believe, I would never enter.
I would never enter a league where Lead the Lap holds the money for the prize winners. Just wouldn't happen because that's a bad mistake. Right out the gate, You're already off to a bad.
Start because if Lead the Laps holding the money, that means at some point, prestige liquor in Burbank is holding the money.
That is very true, but.
It was just Layaway. That's the bank that's holding the money.
Right by the end, I'm just holding a win and nuts so I don't have to pay out. Yeah right, yeah.
So look, just you know, on behalf of degenerates everywhere, you know, I just want to tell Roger can tell in the NFL, you're welcome.
I mean, you're welcome here.

There's a clip that's been viral for a long time where you're sitting with Chris Rock and you're at a Laker game and Rock is talking to Kobe trying to engage. What was he talking to Kobe trying to what was going on in that scenario?
Well, it was. It all happened so fast, and well, you know, you can get our agency at these great seats. In the old days, they might still be bumped right up to the Laker bench. And it's very odd. I felt bad for the players because you sit right next to them, life arm to arm, and you've just got random idiots whoever's got some heat on them. They're sitting next to you game and they're sweating there in the middle of the huddle, and I'm like, we maybe we should try a sucker trap, you know, but and it's it's it's it's a drag because they're there. But Kobe sat there and and uh, half the game we'd switch, you know, so we got to sit and pull it. But they were all nice, all those players. But then, you know, in the heat of the moment, I think Kobe, it was just a very odd situation where the camera's panning over from Kobe and Chris I think is talking to him. Yeah, And then I was laughing because I could tell it wasn't clicking because Kobe was momboed out, you know.
But okay, so what is Rock saying to Kobe?
What he's saying is we don't know, but I know he's saying a lot and he's just going on may if he's talking to me, I couldn't hear moves so loud, and if he's talking to Kobe, Kobe was worried about something else. But it all looks funny. I like it all.
Okay, But how do you get those tickets with your agency? Like First Comfort Serve, you.
Just have to ask and say, hey, can I come to one of these games? Or sometimes I'll call and say do you want the tickets tonight? And you know it's a little bit of a they're so good, but at the last second, sometimes they're like, oh, Mark Wahlberg fell out. But sometimes you know, Rock is in town, and last time I went to New York, I said, I maybe went to the Knicks or maybe when he came we went there. But usually they can shake him up, shake it out if that's a term. And it's super fun. When I did a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, oh thanks, a couple of people, remember we the joke with that Larry because NBC has two sets of tickets. They have those down on the floor and they have some of the rafts and Larry asked for tickets and they go, sure, Sure, and the head of NBC gives them tickets, but they're in the rafters and he goes I one of the other tickets, and then I'm with the guy on the floor from NBC and he's mad because he says Seinfeldt was bigger than just shoot me. Why do I get the floor seat?
Which is a good argument, but there is a pecking order of tickets that if Mark Wohlburg wants tickets, that you're not getting the tickets.
Well, I wouldn't make it that simple. I mean, I think a little bit, but no, I would say I would give them Wahlburg yeah, or I'll sit with Wahlburg, you know what I mean. They sometimes go there's four so sometimes the agent's usually you know, and then they'll bring one of their clients or someone there courting, or someone's got a movie coming. Sometimes they say you got a movie coming out, Let's put you on the floor here, Let's put you here at the UFC fight. Let's pepper you around, sprinkle you and then it's just more promotion.
I guess right, do you said it thanks to a Kardashian.
No, I saw Kimberly at the fiftieth the SNL, and I never see her. I never see any of the Kardashians.
Shockingly, how was that event?
Well, then let's look at a clip. No, it was. I thought it was a lot of fun because because we had everybody there, I thought the rehearsals were more fun. It was three days this time. The fortieth was pretty quick, but this was three days of rehearsing with different people and just walking around and you know, it's your turf a little bit, because I was honest and el So you can go up to almost anyone and go, hey, how's it going, and they have to give minutes. But everyone's usually pretty like because there's no plus ones either. It's just all it's all raw dogging. Just everyone is there alone in the audience and stuff. But I had a lot of fun, Yeah, for sure.
So there's nobody you're nervous about walking up to and saying, hey, oh yeah.
There was I mean you just randomly. I saw Miley Cyrus, who I think is great. I saw Jack Nicholson, who you know, everyone will give you a few seconds. It's nice. I mean Bill Murray was sitting next to me in the audience and on the chart, and then I saw him back stage. I said, I think I'm sitting next to you, and he was obviously overjoyed. And then when we got out there speat filler, the seat filler the whole three hours. I'm like, what's happening. He never came out. Wow, he said, they're eating like cantaloupe cubes they had cut up in the back.
Do you think that that because you went up to him, that maybe that was the reason why he didn't come out, and he had a seat filler spooped him. Maybe.
I don't know if I spooked.
Him down, because I am an alumni on cast member number three eight four seven, six' two, one and uh that's what says on my membership. Card and, no they they set it all up and Like i'm over. Here there's one SCENE i did in the end the show WHERE i had to run in the audience and sit down and we did a rehearsal AND i forgot the audience is. Empty, REHEARSAL i have thirty, seconds SO i run out of the sketch and run the. Audience and then There's Jane curtains in my seat In Chevy chase And they're, like, hey can you, Guys And i'm, like, no one PLANS u ahead of.

Do that of course?
We do.
Why why would?
You not?
Uh?
No OKAY now i was told this before that it's harder to be a, better actor, great actor if. You're taller, any truth.
There are a few actors of great height who are actually who actually, became stars much many more who. Were smaller but it is also true that most actors who become stars have, large heads.
Like elephant. Titus heads, you know they have to have prop them up. Over there and blue eyes if you have.
Light eyes, really, yeah okay who's got a? Big noggin that's a. Great, actor.
Well you just think about any brando grab a.
Big, head, oh well enormous like. A, coconut yeah. He was AND all, i mean all, these people even even, the women women who have, larger heads have a better chance to be a.
Movie star.
That's.
Not true that's. Not True well.
I'm trying, You Know.
David hasselhoff had a, big head but not a. Great actor.
He was he's a. LOVELY guy i was going to say he was a. Lovely guy but he's. Still alive.
NICE guy i did an episode Of bay watch back in the DAY where I played i think my character name was like drunken boat captain or something.
Like that.
But but you didn't have a speedo on like you weren't running in slow motion On.
On.
Baywater, no No when.
I'm in, skimpy underwear it's it's full on motion every everything you want to, see.
Everything apparently But Did walter white have to wear? Tidy?
Whities no, you know that was interesting because after seven Years of malcolm and In, the Middle where hal wore tidy WHITIES because i thought it was appropriate because he was just a, big boy so he never really. Grew up and for, Some Reason vince gilligan Wrote That walter white wore, tidy WHITIES.
And i went to the wardrobe CALL and, i, SAID well i just did.
Seven YEARS so i tried on BOXERS and i tried on law and, it's like you, know.
What there's some reason that he, did This and i'm just going to go.
With it and that image of him in, the desert that first poster of the gun and his, tidy whities is so PATHETIC that, i, thought OH that's i think that's the image he wanted to.
Go for but how often do you question when you have a director or there's something on the page where you, offer feedback or you're going to stand up for what you think might be right all.
The time.
All. The, time yeah you're constantly. MAKING adjustments i just did a couple episodes of the show Of the studio where my character at the end shows up, in leopard very skinny bikini BRIEFS which, i.
Chose and.
Stockings with garter clips and, a girdle and where he Wears a dicky is the most ridiculous looking guy in.
The WORLD and i wanted.
All of, those things and so we just adjusted it To THOSE and I Surprised seth ROGEN when i walked out of the room and he saw me for the first time.
On camera it's a great character because it came out, of nowhere, you know first Episode and, i'm like oh. My god, it's like, you know this combination of you're going to try to bring in every studio head of all the things that are negative about them or over the top, about them and you just kind of combined it with, one character and it, was like, all, right Yeah that's hollywood. Right there it is kind.
OF patterned i patterned Him After, robert evans famous studio head Of the paramount in, the seventies did, great movies but he was always, super tan bleached, his teeth he always wore very.
Masculine clothes he was that kind. Of guy his shirt was unbuttoned to, his navel. You know and, It, was hey maybe you know that, That dude so that's more fun to play a guy.
LIKE that i got the picture Here. From baywatch paulie just sent it. To, me, wow okay those are short shorts you, got on by, the way those were.
The times don't tell me you didn't have short shorts IN that i did in.
This idea.
Everybody did REMEMBER the nba back in.
The, DAY yeah i, you know GROWING up i had, short Shorts And JOHN stockton i think was like the, last holdout like, you know he was the last guy to wear. Short shorts what do you have on? This, episode yeah With, on baby.
That fine Episode Of baywatch november, Eighty Nine brian Cranston Played Captain, tom logan and he was wearing like op shorts and like those croaky glasses and his hair was completely down the middle.
AND feathered i could. Looks good were you at?
That? Time, uh, Yeah yeah I've been ROBIN and i have been married for thirty six. Years, now, yeah yeah okay. Eighty, nine yeah but you're There.
ON baywatch, i mean.
Oh yeah those they're. Out there.
Did Anybody Notice Captain tom logan of you know the? Women Room they did you catch anybody's? Eye there, YOU know i.
DON'T know i don't know WHOSE eye. I caught oh?
My god.
Were you Born? IN hollywood i was.
Born in the City, Of, hollywood yes Right in hollywood and Raised In los angeles In The San.
Fernanda valley and.
Famous, CLASSMATES.
No i didn't have any, famous classmates.
Uh in.
THE area, i, Think Well kevin spacey went to the same high school a couple of years, after.
Me but then transferred out to go to a better. Theater school but outside, of that they're, really, no no, no famous no.
One famous tougher To get nick's tickets Courtside or laker tickets, Court side.
Laker tickets, courtside.
Tougher, tougher yeah it's, just process it's. Just.
Jam, well first there is A way i can give advice to all the listeners and viewers about how to get courtside. Seats first become a television star or a. Movie star do, that first then you'll have a lot better chance of getting court. Size SEATS but i did get court side seats last year To, mix pacers.
Had a, great time had a great time, watching it and they're back at. IT again.
I know but you know your sitcom Famous with malcolm In the middle and then, breaking back like, You know i'm going to guess, breaking bad you got it was easier to get the tickets Than with malcolm In.
The, middle yeah it gave me a.
Higher, Profile, Absolutely okay, so yeah THAT'S what i get mostly. RECOGNIZED for i would say i'd say like seven out of ten people who approached, for You you, OKAY there.
I think i just.
BROKE something i mic, collapsed here.
And that's how about seven out of ten people recognize Me As. Walter, white YEAH.
So i want to talk About The. Phoenician, scheme Yeah Because wes anderson does things differently than. Anybody else how would you describe what he does as. A, filmmaker.
Well he is the truest sense of the. Word auteur there is no way that anyone, Can, SAY oh I think i Know what wes is thinking. ON this I think i know where he's going to go.
With this you just don't know. At all.
It is a unique journey when you Do A wes anderson movie because it's, always clever it's, always surprising.
And it's just it's so.
Much fun but the thing about from an actor's point, of view Doing The phoenician Scheme Or asteroid city, before that or it's the experience of being with him and all the actors at the same table at the dinner every night after, you work and that kind of camaraderie was so. Much fun, In Fact tom hanks called it. Actor camp it's a good hang and we and all the actors, are there we're having wine and cocktails, and food and we're talking about things that were worried about or families and things like that without worrying about prying eyes or ears, around us and we can just be open and it's a lot.
Of Fun So, TOM hanks i believe plays. Your brother You Got michael sarah, In There, Scarlett johansson Venicio, Del, toro, yeah.
Yeah, Pretty good Benedtt, And Cumberbatch. REZ ahmed i mean it's, a big. Big Cast and TOM and i are. Playing brothers well we think. We're brothers it was never, actually established but they're so. So alike now there's a basketball sequence in the Movie that TOM and i are, involved in and when we go onto the set where where, he, asked okay who who can?
Do this and who could?
Do that And, So tom, TOM'S going i can't really dribble, Very well I'll go. I'll DRIBBLE and, i, SAID look i got problems with. MY shoulders i got.
Arts right and it's like if you went to The assistant living center to get two.
Basketball players people sent me that clip of you got of you, shooting basketball wondering if you were trying to model your shot after me for, some REASON and, i, said well if he if he, was trying he didn't do a very good job.
Because HE because i made.
Him, dripping no it wasn't dripping. With athleticism i'm just, gonna say, you know as a, basketball player you're a.
Great actor, Uh, YEAH no i wasn't modeling myself After You You're you're they broke the Mold Of.
Dan Patrick the phoenician scheme that Comes out, may thirtieth and Then nationwide, june Second and everything's going To be great that Comes out. June, twentieth yeah did you shoot these around the. Same, Time no.
Phoenicians game we shot. Last year everything's going To be great we shot.
Before it but it's like jockeying for position and who's going to and what's the right time to come out with, a movie and you know it's those decisions are made by. Someone Else but everything's going To be great is also a really it's a beautiful Film, With alison janny, and myself and it reminded me Of A Little miss sunshine from. Years ago it's funny and sweet and sad. And engaging, yeah Anyway.
Little, miss sunshine that final, dance scene no fun stuff brings down. The, House Yes. ALAN arka i mean there's so many great performances. In, there, well yeah it's one of those little sneaky surprise movies where, you're, LIKE damn i don't you know everybody when you watch, MOVIES like i don't know it's going to. Be nominated everything's gonna. Be nominated instead of just, WATCHING movies i think we're, always, like well what's gonna do at the? Box office is anybody gonna go see this in the? Movie theaters it's kind of like. THE pressure i don't know how different it is now than, let's say, you know fifteen. Years ago it's a.
Lot different when YOU and i, were kids, every show every, morning show every news show had a movie and television reviewer specifically to relate to the audience what they felt was good of. High quality they fired all of, those people and so now the newsreaders just read off what made the most money last weekend at the box office as if that's the indication.
Of quality and so it's it's kind. Of sad so you really need the word of mouth to be able to say don't miss this movie or.
THAT movie pauli told me that they're might, be uh we're Bringing back malcolm In. The middle is there, a yeah we.
Did it we shot. It already oh you?
