A recent survey has uncovered that 52% of Nigerian professionals are considering migration. Today, on the programme, we shall be taking a look at the JAKBA syndrome, its effect and possible ways of reversing it on the breakfast. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has issued a fresh directive to all marketers on how to go about getting their refund and the new prices of petroleum products. The NNPCL Retail gave this new directive in a circular released on Sunday and also informed oil marketers how much they will be paying now to get petroleum products. Whether this is going to ameliorate the sufferings of the people and make committing in Nigeria easier is a question we'll be asking on the programme this morning. We'll be taking a look at the front pages of some national dailies and will be joined by an analyst on Up The Press to discuss them. Good morning and welcome to the mid-week frenzy edition of the Breakfast on Plus TV Africa. I am Maureen. My name is Nyam Ghul Agadje. I'm so pleased to have you join us on a weekday like this. And we're hoping that you have inaugurated all the things that you didn't inaugurate in your life because this is a time of inauguration. And two wins for Aquabomb State yesterday. One of them was the inauguration of the Senate president who is one time governor of Aquabomb State. And the other one is the official recognition of Hilda Basie who has just broken the record for the Cookathon that she did. It has now become official now. Yes, the Guinness Book of Records have officially recognised what's having investigated all the information that was put out when that Cookathon took place. It's supposed to be a hundred hours but they subtracted seven hours plus from her. And the excuse was that she made a mistake when she began and took a few minutes. Of five minutes. Yeah, so the break extended for a few more minutes and because of that seven hours was extracted. How many minutes would be extracted for one minute that was taken extra? I just don't understand what that is. But they have their laws and if she failed any of those laws and she still won the... Is it a competition? No. She still broke the record. She broke the record. She beat the previous record of 87 hours 45 minutes set by Latter Tundun on India in 2019. And yeah, so Nigeria is now on that. Yeah. Okay, well, unfortunately, whether fortunately or unfortunately, there is another person who started even before the recognition in a kitty state. I don't know how far that is, whether she's continuing or she's not continuing. She's continuing. The first lady of that state has even donated 100,000 Naira gift to her. I am of the opinion that she should have waited for Hilda to get her flowers. A lot of people felt that way but others said okay, the sky is big enough for people to fly. But I don't think... Where was she before Hilda? I'm also of the opinion that she should have waited. I also understand there's another person who wants to paint. Yeah. There's even another person trying to cook too. And then there is a prayer thong that is also the highest, you know, baby, how many hours? I've heard of that. I understand he's rehearsing his prayers. And the question I ask is who is this prayer going to? Is it to God or... Or to Guinness World Records. Or to Guinness World Records. Or to Nigerians. Because I don't understand that prayer. Because prayer is supposed to be mostly spontaneous.  But planning to say okay, I'm going to bombard God with 5000 hours of prayer. I just don't understand. Well, that's left for whoever is going to pray for whatever minutes. And whoever is going to pray to. Whether it is the God that we know. Or it's the... Well, even the shonggo is known by other people. So whether it is the God that they serve in the church. Or the God that they serve in the shrine. Whether it's Amadyoha. Whatever kind of God that he's going to pray to. Well, at least one good thing from this is that a lot of Nigerians may not have known that Guinness World Records is something you can put your name in because you can do something extraordinary. So Hilda has opened the gates for everybody to realize that even a Nigerian can win that. She may not be the only Nigerian. No, I mean, Kaffee. Kaffee. She may not be the only Nigerian. But the frenzy of Hilda is... Yeah, the frenzy. Hilda did... Well, back then we did... I'm not sure that Nigerians were that active on social media as we are now when Kaffee did her dance thing. Today, Hilda has the advantage of social media and she did her homework very well. She crushed the website of Guinness World Records. And that was something that gladdened me because if Nigerians support you, they give their best. They give their all. And Hilda got that. And we're glad that at least officially she has been recognized. That's a good thing for me. Yeah, but one of the questions I asked is, is there any monetary gain from Guinness? I hear there is. There's no monetary reward directly from Guinness. But of course this gives you the platform for endorsements, contracts and all of that. And so it is something worth trying and what... It's like singing at the Super Bowl. They have the Super Bowl in America. And I hear they don't pay them. But it exposes you to so much goodies after that. So people scramble to be on that. It is a platform. It's a major platform. Very major platform. So this Guinness World Records... I hear people are already trying to exploit this even before she got the recognition. There was this talk on social media that she was talking about a meet and greet where you have to pay lots and lots of money before you can meet and greet Hilda. It wasn't lots and lots of money. I understand it was just three million Naira. And some controversies around it. I agree with you now. Just three million Naira. Three million is just... As it stands today, now that she's been recognized, I tell you, no organization is going to be able to have Hilda for less than 20 million.  But even though she's saying that she didn't... No, it wasn't a one-on-one thing. It was an organization that organized it. Yes. And they supposedly, allegedly, allegedly paid her that sum. All right? They organized it and allegedly paid her that sum. And of course, it's a business. Yeah, but she claimed that she didn't know it was centered around her. She thought she was attending an event that she had been invited to and paid to make an appearance. She didn't know that it was a meet and greet of her. So she pulled out of the event. Whatever the real story is, but you know, if you do something that is noteworthy, you will be in the limelight for the right reasons. And then you get other goodies that will come to you. Definitely. So everybody should think about doing something... Noteworthy. Yes, noteworthy. Noteworthy. And especially representing our country, Nigeria. All right. Since we've talked about one of our top trending, let's talk about the other top trending, which is that the National Assembly has... The 10th National Assembly has now been inaugurated. We worked and listened to it yesterday. The whole process, very keen contest it was between Akbabio and the person that contested against him. We're talking about as tight as 63 votes to defeat Iyeri, Abul Aziz Iyeri that, you know, contested that Senate presidency with God's will Akbabio. With all the politicking we saw, with all the games we saw, with all the allegations of money, and the anointing that he got, we had thought that it was going to be a lot easier for him, but it was a very tight contest. He got 63 votes while Abul Aziz Iyeri got 46 votes. Okay, well, the coming days will show whether this contest is something that will show us that democracy is stronger now, or that democracy is being bought with money, because if it goes there and we find out that really, he who pays the Piper dictates the tune, then we will know that there's nothing to applaud about this election, no matter how keenly contested it might have been, because if truly, like some papers are carrying it, Tinnubu's candidates flaw rebels. So it now becomes that he put, practically, he put the leadership of the National Assembly where they are, and if he put them there, there's a tendency they will do his bidding, only his bidding. Oh well. We pray it doesn't happen that way. What we pray is a National Assembly that can pass landmark bills and effectively checkmate the executive, and if we do not have that, then the National Assembly cannot be set to be served in Nigerians. We saw what happened with the Ninth Assembly. We're not happy about it. We missed the Eighth Assembly because of how strong and firm Seraki was in terms of scrutinizing requests from the executive. He wasn't a rubber stump, you know, senate president, and that was one thing that stood him out, and that's why today we keep talking about the Eighth Assembly, comparing the Eighth Assembly and the Ninth Assembly, and the situation where you have the executive being so involved in who becomes or emerges as the senate president. It does leave a lot to be desired, but that's what we have playing out. His deputy is Jibril Barrao, and then Tajidin Abbas scored 353 to defeat his rivals, Ahmed Wasi and Aminu Jaji, and then his deputy is Benjamin Carlo. He got three votes. Aminu Jaji got three votes, so you can see that one was, he just had, it was like Waka Pasi, he had no problem. All the opposition party members, they voted for him. They voted for this Abbas of the APC and gave him a whopping 353 votes. That's about 360 seats in the house with 359 members. Let me break it down for you. PDP has 117 members. LP, Labour Party has 35 members. NNPP has 19 members. ABGA has five members. SDP, two members. ADC, two members. YPP, one member. There is a vacancy because one of the members of the APC after election, you know, lost his life, and so there you have it. Remember, shouldn't there be a vacancy again, another vacancy for Bada Bia Mila, who is the chief of staff to the president? Will he hold both positions? Obviously not. Okay, so well, that is it. The breakdown is good. I'm glad we have members of the National Assembly. Appabio is a lawyer. Appabio has been a governor of the state and I must say he did well. Whatever else entered his pocket, I don't know. I really... Nigerians really don't care what goes where, so long as you get the job done. Okay, so he had landmark achievements in acquirement states, so I give him that. And then he was the minister of Niger Delta affairs. That much, we do not know how to assess, because even when he was campaigning, even when he was trying to win people to his side, he said they shouldn't consider whatever happened in Niger Delta, they should judge him when he was the governor of the state. That is not... He cannot write his history. It happened. However, when talking about that thing that happened during his time as that minister, when that off-the-mic thing was said, off-the-mic was said by those who were going to be exposed, if you remember correctly, by those who were going to be exposed. So yes, for him to say, do not judge me by my performance there, means he also knows that... It was abysmal. Because everybody should be judged according to the last thing they did. That is what tells you how you are at this moment. And this is the moment that you want to be a Senate president, and you're telling us not to judge that. But well, whatever the case is, he has become the Senate president. And the Nigerians will give him support so long as they don't see him as a rubber stamp. And we hope he's not going to be that at all. Well, Tajidin Abbas said that he is not going to be a rubber stamp, that the House of Representatives will not be a rubber stamp. And well, don't they all say the same thing?  I would approve everything without allowing us to debate it. Who is Tajidin Abbas? You may ask. We have a little info on him. Born 1st October 1963. He's a Nigerian academic and politician. Who is the current speaker of the House of Representatives? He was born, as I said, in October in Kwerbay Zarya, Kaduna State. And he holds bachelor's degree in business administration and master's degree, both from Amadu Bello University, Zarya. And then he later obtained his doctorate degree in business administration from Osma M. Fudio University. So he began his career as a primary school teacher. He later became... Same in Kwerbay. Not primary school necessarily, but as a teacher. There's hope for you. There's hope for Junior Angol. Well, he later became a lecturer at a polytechnic. He was a lecturer at Kaduna State University from 1993 to 2001. He moved to the private sector where he worked as a marketing manager at the Nigerian Tobacco Distribution Company, now the British American Tobacco Company. In 2010, he joined politics where he contested for the House of Representatives seat in 2011 and was elected. Abbas is a prince from Zerzo Emirates, Zarya, Kaduna State, and holds the title of Janzo. So let's look at his political career. He joined politics in 2010 where he contested for the House of Representatives seat in 2011 and won. He sponsored the highest number of bills in the Eighth Assembly. He sponsored the highest number of bills in the Eighth Assembly between 2015 and 2019. That tells me this guy knows what he's doing. And also sponsored a record-breaking 74 bills out of which 21 were signed into law between 2019 to 2023. He had served in numerous committees in the House such as Commerce, Finance, Special Duties, Defense, Public Procurement, and National Planning and Economic Development Committee. Until his emergence as the Speaker, Abbas was the House Committee Chairman for Land Transport. Okay. Gotswila Kwaabio is now the Senate President. He is Chief Gotswila Kwaabio. He is from a royal house in Akwaibom State. And he started out his career as a teacher and had a brief stand with Paul O'Sarrow and Co, a law firm in Nigeria, because he is originally a lawyer. He was also a school teacher for a brief period and worked with a telecom company, a Lagos-based telecom company, and served in National Publicity Sectory of the Association of Telecommunications Companies in Nigeria, while a director in that firm. He later became the CEO of that company in 2002. He was appointed Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources and turned 2002 under the administration of Abong Victoratai in Akwaibom State. Before 2006, he had served in other capacities such as Commissioner for Lands and Housing as well as Commissioner for Local Government and Chief Tency Affairs. He became People's Democratic Party's flag bearer in 2007 during the electoral election, having defeated 57 other aspirants at the primary election. He became the Governor of Akwaibom State in 2007 and spent additional four years after the end of his first tenure. In 2015, Akwaib was made the Senate Minority Leader by the People's Democratic Party's South-South Group within the National Assembly. The success of the APC in 2015 election took away the power of majority from the PDP caucus in the Senate. And Apavio resigned in 2018 as the Senate... Okay, he resigned in 2018. Okay, as the Senate issued to one chief, Orizu Adotolo Newey in a number of states and not to the Akwaibom State Government. Okay, in May 2020, Akwaib was subbed by members of the House of Representatives over the misappropriation of 40 billion Naira. He has won numerous awards, International Honours and National Honours. And he's a household name, as far as Akwaibom and South-South are concerned. He's now the Senate President of Nigeria and we're hoping that his background as a lawyer and a one-time governor and also minister of the Niger Delta I, will come to his aid, as it were, to carry out his duties. Yes, I mean, looking at the bio of these people, especially Tajidin Abbas, who has sponsored the highest number of bills in the Eighth Assembly between 2015 and the breakout breaking 74 bills out of which 21 were signed, you probably understand why all the opposition members, you know, backed him in this contest. Because sometimes it's not just about the money. Sometimes it's credibility, it's character. Yes, he's a member of the APC, but that doesn't make him a bad person, right? That doesn't make him unqualified for the post. Although I would have wished that since the Senate President is an APC member, that the Speaker of the House of Reps would be from the opposition. It's always for the people with the highest number. So the opposition will align with the person that they feel comfortable with. So if they voted him, more or less, he's also a PDP, a level party, an NMPC person, because he is for everybody. He is for everybody, and for nobody. Yeah, so that's how it is. His body language will tell us exactly where he belongs eventually. Yes, and then we also know that at this moment, Governor Rotimi Keredulou has formally written to notify the on-dose state House of Assembly that he is on medical leave and that his deputy, Lucky, should act as the acting governor. Okay, the Speaker of the House, Olamide Oladidji, announced that the governor has embarked on a 21-day leave for medical treatment abroad, starting from 7th of June 2023 to the 6th of July 2023. And well, it's a laudable thing.  And I wonder why our leaders feel that when they are unwell, people should not know. They are not supermen. They don't have superpowers. It's normal for someone to be ill.  Don't take care of yourself and come back. I don't know why they hide it. But at least, Akeru Dulu, at the end of the day, has said, okay, I'm embarking on this leave, and it's a good thing for our democracy. Yes, it's indeed good that he has come out officially to put an end to all the speculations. He's human. He's human, and who says he cannot recover? So it's good that he's going to take care of his health, which is primary, really.  He needs to be healthy. He needs to be alive. So wish him the very best. We hope he recovers as quickly as possible so he can return to his office. And then we hope that what the president said about the rule of law and all that, we hope we'll begin to see as at this moment, the court has ordered a rest of IGP Usman Baba because he has been invited a lot of times that he doesn't go for the invitations and all that. So the court has said that National Industrial Court has ordered the arrest of Inspector Gerald of Police Usman Al-Khali and the First Secretary, A.I.G. Hafiz Inua for this being court order to reinstate some police officers who were graduates of course 33, 34, and 35 of the police academy. They've asked him separately what's the matter, come and explain to us, and he didn't come, and he has failed to reinstate these people, and for whatever reason, he has taken scenes July or June last year and he's still not done anything about it. So let's see where now he's going to obey the court order and reinstate them and back with their salaries and arrears and all that. This fragmented disregard for court orders which we saw with the last administration has got to stop. It has to stop. If we say we have a democracy, we must respect our judiciary, we must respect the courts. As much as we say that the judiciary needs to redeem its image it needs to have a good image that should be respected because you begin to ask how did all this disregard for the judiciary start? How did it start? How did we get to this point where court would make a pronouncement, give an order, and it's not respected? So now you blame it on the executive because they have the power to execute whatever the court says. So now the court will do the needful and then the executive will just throw away whatever the court has decided. So it doesn't speak well for our democracy and the institutions we intend to strengthen because if the court will be a two-less dog as they say then it will mean that anybody can do anything and once the court says something it will not be carried out. We already know that. So go to court. That's what you'll be told. Whatever the court says we will not do. So the institutions we want to strengthen will lie strictly on the executive that has the power to execute and to prosecute... to execute, yes, whatever the courts have said. All right, so you're still watching the break. First it's time for us to take a break and give you the weather report so you know how to get set for the day. We'll be back to take a look at the headlines.


Terrence, where are we on the social media outreach program? I'm sorry? Can you clarify that? Seems pretty clear to me. What exactly don't you understand about that? The whole sentence. You've never mentioned social media outreach before. Let alone a program. And LeBron from Downtown with a 3. Thanks for budding in Mrs. Buttersworth. Or should I call you Mrs. Buttersworth was, right? Just get out of it. I specifically recall yesterday telling you guys to hound Disney so we can get early screeners to Star Wars Episode 9, The Rise of Skywalker. Ever heard of it? That's what a social media outreach program is to you. Harassing Disney for tickets to a movie that isn't even out yet.  So dark. I'm just so sick of all these star whores getting early access to these films because they tickle Mickey's cheese cutter. First off, gross. Secondly, what are you trying to say? What I'm saying is, I'm ready to give myself up completely to the most king. Glad you finally want to play ball, but I think it's a bit too late for that now.  Your last video on Star Wars was called Soilo, a cash-grab story. So? Do you even know what Soilo means? People say that on the internet, you know, the internet, and it sounds funny. Yes, Soi Boy. The video before that was called The Last Jedi Gave Me Ayes for real life. It did. Honestly, I wish it did sometimes. All of the time. Just make this go away. I want to sit at Mos Eisley Tavern and have a beer with my buddy Goofy. I want to suckle from the teeth of that alien Octu with my best friend Luke, aka Mark Hamill. I want to try to do cool things with Rey and fail because I'm not a Mary Sue like she is. Shot, you are the worst.  Well, my fortune cookie told me somebody was going to roll me today. Just didn't think it was going to be both of you. Smash now. Really? Just get it done. In the meantime, I have a few show ideas to keep this company afloat. One of them being a review for Star Wars Episode 9. The Rise of the Skywalker gave me Ebola. You are going to review it now without even seeing the movie?   Call Disney! The Rise of the Skywalker gave me Ebola. It's a tentative title, but it is final. The intern is in the conference room. You know the drill? Let's give him the Stanley Rubik's test. Never works. It's like Stanley Kubrick. You get it. There you go. You have one minute. Seriously? It's done. Oh, you guys stopped doing that to me. Did you do it? Does he have the cube? Good. We're in the end game now. I'm sorry for this. Sorry for what? You really think you should intern here? You're trash! You're nothing!   I don't know. Adam posted it as some intern opening on Twitter, and I thought I'd check it out. It might be fun. I'm ready for this. Bun!   I don't even know you.  Yeah, I was okay. I think he gets it. I think he gets it. Gets what? Is this some sort of joke? You're the joke! Easy, big guy. Easy, tear bear. Listen, we're just doing a little bit of a s***, poking some fun, but this is a business. And you know what?  In fact, last week I had to cut the throat of a turtle that I ran over with my car. Back tire didn't finish him off, so I had to cut the b***h. What was this whole Rubik's Cube thing, just like a prank or something? Do you even know what YouTube is? Bruh!  It's as easy as one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Seriously, Delta, anybody could have done what you just said in that time frame. I guess I'm no one then. Wait, you can solve it in our two minutes? I haven't tried, but I'm 100% confident I can. How do you even know? The same way I know you're going home to an empty bed yet again tonight, Terrence. Wow, seriously, Adam? His fiancé died six months ago on a car crash. You knew this. Yeah, you probably did it on purpose to get out of the marriage. I don't think I want to enter here anymore. Oh, it was a prank. Gotcha. You were right. We were joking you. We were all in on it. Everybody was in on it. I'll have Sheila get the paperwork bring it over for you to fill out. This is fun. Ooh, looks dilly-bars. Oh, we got some winners. Come on. Classic movie boss. That was a fun series. I think we did 12 or 13 episodes. If you just joined me, I'm Adam from Adam Does Movies, and we're going live right now. On a Friday, I hope it's good for you. It's starting out okay for me. I'm obviously running late and kind of in more somber news. I don't have any Coke. I'm out of Coca-Cola Classic. Today I'm rocking maybe the saddest drink ever conceived by man. It's a bubbly. Sparkling water. I will say this raspberry flavor is pretty solid, but let's move past it and get to the conversation today. We have a fun show, fun live show. I have scheduled. My preparation took a little longer, which is why I'm running late per usual. What we're going to be talking about today, little mermaid posters. They were revealed. They're atrocious. I can't wait. It's going to be a good time. Then we have early Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 news. The reviews are in by creditable movie critics. Not me, of course. Even though I'm Rotten Tomatoes certified, I didn't get flown out to go see it. I'm like a common peasant who has to wait and just watch the Rotten Tomatoes score and hope to one day add my own. We'll see. We'll see. The third topic, we might, if we feel frisky, go into some of the Guardians of the Galaxy posters. Although I am doing a little mermaid already, we'll see how the night goes. I do want to get news out of the way. There's some fun news stories, so we'll play it by ear. And of course, super chats are the name of the game here. If you have a couple dollars to spare, if you appreciate what I do, this one-man operation, well, that's not entirely true either now because I have welcomed on a team of people to help me going forward, including my wife and my daughter. I'm teaching my daughter how to edit, so she's going to be doing a lot of the stuff that's on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, things that I don't really use, but kids do and grown-ass adults do. So I really have to be present there and do it right. And as for my wife comes in, Lindsay, she's actually managing the content. She's saying, hey, Adam, you can't do 14 different styles of shows. I know you haven't figured that out yet on YouTube, but you got to focus. So TikTok is mainly going to be movie reviews, shorts, quick rapid-fire things. I posted two of them today. Adam does movies on TikTok. They're also going to be on YouTube. Instagram is going to be more the poster breakdown, same with Facebook. So you're going to get a little bit of everything, a little spice of life everywhere across these different platforms. Also on Discord, Adam does movies, but he's not a set that up. He runs it.  Because I got things to do, dammit. We got movies to talk about. What else? Oh yeah, I have the Spotify podcast coming out on Mondays. Moving forward. So this Monday, there's a podcast locked and loaded. It's going to be there when you wake up. Hopefully. Maybe. Possibly. Absolutely. I'm talking fast. I'm talking wild. I got to take a drink. Oh my God. Oh, this bubbly is just... This isn't it. This isn't it, fam. Lastly, before we dive into these posters, pun because it's in the water. It's under the sea. Patreon. Become a member. $1 tier. $10 tier. $20 tier. If you go to 30, it's mithril, baby. That means you get to recommend a movie for me to watch. I might go, oh, really?  You can get up to four of those a year if you stay with me at that membership level. It's a fantastic deal.  I mean, 30 bucks for me to watch a two-hour movie, edit it, review it. Not in that order. That's out order. And then post it, make the thumbnail. It's a ton of work. It really is. But yeah, 30 bucks. I'll watch whatever garbage you want. Hopefully it's somewhat relevant in the algorithm. But if not, that's okay too. All right. Let's move on to the first topic of the night. I haven't even looked at the chat. I'm just shot out of a cannon right now trying to catch up. Maybe I will look at the chat quickly and make sure that the audio and the video is actually there. That'd be great if I was talking this whole time for nothing. Okay. It looks like people are hearing me. So okay. Good. I'm good then. And yes, please hit the notification bell. That's one last thing I always forget to mention. There's a bell that you should hit and then these will propagate in your feed. So just subscribing isn't enough anymore. YouTube says no. I don't care if you subscribe. You got to hit the bell. All right. Let's talk about these posters. And I took the time. I took the time to bring them up. Aerials first. Boom. There she is. There she is. And if you haven't done a live with me yet, it's kind of a... I don't know what you would call it. You get a little behind the scenes and real-time review at the same time. A little bit of everything. Best of both worlds. So I have a camera on top of a camera. Second camera is what I record from. We got the mic up here, which you can see, but the actual video camera cannot. It's out of frame. What I do is I hit record and then I stumble my way through a video and you get to watch and be mesmerized by just how much editing goes into this show. We're getting a little better. It's challenging to do things live and whatever. So we're going to go with it. Here we go. I'm recording. It's recording. Let's get the audio going on the quick time. Looks like it's... Hello? Yep. It's picking up, hitting record. Gain my composure. All right. This poster that you're seeing, by the way, is not going to be on the video. That'll be a separate edit. That'll do. The poster things take a lot longer to edit, but they're worth it. I took notes on these ahead of time because I really wanted to be prepared for this. Watch me stumble. I'm going to look at this camera too, by the way. I'm looking at that one. Disney released a myriad of character posters for the upcoming live action, Little Mermaid. They're done in sort of a Vogue-esque cover shoot style. I want to quickly go over them. Join me. Come on. Come on, join me. Okay. First up, we have Ariel. And just looking at this poster. You know what? Before I say anything, let me go ahead and Google... Wait, let me do it on the phone quick. And looking at the first poster, we have Ariel. And you know what? Before I say anything, let me go ahead and Google Halle Bailey Age. She's over 20. Okay. This poster kind of turns me on. I'm not going to lie. She looks very excited. Like she found a who's it or what's it that's giving her a good time. A thingamabob, if you must. Beautiful actress, I guess, is what I'm saying. I do wish the artist or the photographer, whatever these are anymore, would have increased the saturation about 50% on the red hair. It's kind of muted. It's hard to see. Is it brown? I'm not really sure, but Ariel's known over anything else besides having, you know, a flipper for legs, for that flowing, red, luscious hair. And right here, it's not coming through at all. Also, there's some really heavy Gaussian blur going on in the background of her hair. It almost looks like it's departing from her, detached, some other creature in the background, really jarring stuff. Otherwise, you know, it's a very lovely photo. Very nice render. Let's carry on. All right, we go to poster number two. Ursula. Here we have Ursula, played by Melissa McCarthy. Doesn't look threatening.  In fact, I find, in fact, I think I could have a nice night out with her. Maybe go shopping over at Hot Topic, head back to her place and watch the first season. I had it. I had it. In fact, I feel like I could have a good night on the town with her. Just a couple of gals shopping at Hot Topic, going back to her place, putting on the first season of Wednesday, sharing a bucket of ice cream and just sharing our feelings.  In fact, the one on the left looks like he's in the middle of a good old fashioned coffee and fit. Not a terrible poster, but again, McCarthy, she doesn't look like a threatening villain, more like one of the tri- I said like too many times. Not a bad poster. It's very polished, but McCarthy, not threatening looking as a villain. In fact, something more- She looks like something you'd see from an influencer on Instagram who put an- She looks more like an influencer you would see on Instagram who caked on a bunch of make- I'll get there. She looks more like an imp- She looks more like an influencer you'd see on Instagram who caked on a bunch of makeup and threw the whole thing in a visco filter. Let's move on. Next we have King Trayden, played by Javier Bardem- Bardem- Next we have King Trayden, played by Javier Bardem- Javier Bardem- Next we have King Trayden, played by Javier Bardem- Next we have King Trayden, played by Javier Bardem- I'll just go over the top with it. He looks like the result. He looks like the result you would get if you combine Jason Momoa with- He looks like the- He looks like the end result you'd get if you combine Dwayne Johnson with Jason Momoa. This is the baby. This is the love- child if that thing was possible. If such a thing was possible. This is a really pretty looking photo though. I like how the ocean is very reflective. You got the Trayden to mirrored inside the waves. I mean, it's a cool vantage point too. It's a cool vantage point too. There's a nice hard- It's a cool vantage- It's a cool vantage point too. You got a nice hard horizontal line. I mean, there's not much bad to say here. There's a cool vantage point too. There's a cool vantage point too. There's a Nice Dancer. Kr justation. Also props for the Kr justation armor, the shoulder pads, the crown. It's working for him. This is honestly a pretty nice poster and looks way better than anything I've seen in the trailer itself. Wish the visuals matched this. Let's keep going.  Did I forget to bring up the- God damn it. Sorry everyone. You didn't even get to see this. You didn't get to see what I was talking about, Javier Bardem, I'll let you have a little bit of time to really wrap your head around what I said. And that's enough time. Alright Eric, we have Eric here. You'll like my thoughts on this one. Here's Prince Eric. Here's Prince Eric. Good looking guy. It's great for him. Good for him. Let's move on. Oh we got Sebastian next. I'll find him. Show yourself. There we go.  What in all that is sacred on this earth did they do to my boy Sebastian? What in all of creation did they do to my boy Sebastian? Why does he look like an old man ready to tell you the longest most boring movie ever?    This Sebastian looks like he would get angry ordering soup. And why do his eyes look so out of place here? Like the render was almost completed but the dude working on it had to go home for the day so the intern had to finish it up. It's really bad. I feel sad for him. I feel sad for everyone who has to even look at this. It can only go up from here. Every day I'm scuttle in. Oh my god why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? This isn't scuttle. This isn't even a bird. It's a nightmare.   I like laughing at my own stuff. Oh and look Disney gave him a weapon. That doesn't look like the fork I remember from the cartoon. That looks like something conjured up with black magic and a dark... That looks like a what? That looks like something conjured up using dark matte. That looks like something conjured up using black magic in a dark arts class. It's closer to a scythe than a fork. Scuttle's now the grim reaper and tonight he feasts on our souls. Oh my god. To make matters worse, she's voiced by Aquafina but of course. Let's give the scary beyond all belief bird the voice of a woman who sounds like a thousand banshees being run over by a semi-chimp. I almost got there. Hey I know. Hey have a night. Hey I have a wacky idea. Let's give the boy... No way I'm getting through this. The voice of a thousand banshees being run over. Oh my god. I got a wacky new idea. Let's give the scary beyond all belief bird the voice of an actress who sounds like thir...  I have a wacky new idea. Let's give the voice of the scariest thing beyond all belief the voice of a woman who sounds like one hundred banshees being run over simultaneously by semi-trucks. That won't put the kids in a fever state. That won't put the... That won't send the kids into a fever... That won't send the kids into fever dream country and let's be real frank here. The only reason she's in this is because she shares the name of a bottle of water. Aquafina. Oh we got Flounder. Where is he?  There he is. What have they done to my little... What have they done to my little prince? My poor...  Did I say yellow? Yeah.  Of course they got Jacob Trambly to voice this depressing excuse for a fish. He acted in one of the... He acted in one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. Terrible film. Not terrible because it's bad. It's actually really good but terrible because it's super depressing. Much like this poster. At least after he inevitably takes his own life. He doesn't have to look far for a burial place. At least after he takes his own life. He doesn't have to look for a place to dispose of the body. This version of... Congratulations Disney.  Again. Sometimes less is more. All the detail. All the high res imagery isn't helping these characters come to life. Quite the contrary. Now Flounder. Now Flounder instead of looking like Ariel's chipery best friend looks like the fish equivalent of Butters from South Park and no one wants to hang out with him.  Okay well those are my thoughts on the... All right well those are my thoughts on the Little Mermaid poster. I want to hear from... There's multiple posters. All right well there are my thoughts on the Little Mermaid live action posters. I'd love to hear yours below. Are you higher on them than I am? I thought the first few... You know we're good and it just kept getting worse. It just kept getting worse. Let me know in the comments. Please like the video if you had a laugh or two.  I don't have anything to... Oh and also that that is actually it. Please subscribe if you had a laugh or three. I would really appreciate... Please subscribe if you had a laugh or three. I would really appreciate that because I post movie content each and every week. I want to have more people sticking around to watch. It's... It's all I've ever wanted. All right thanks for watching. Hopefully I'll see you next time. Okay we stopped that. We stopped the audio that was hopefully recording. It was save it Little Mermaid posters. Okay check the chat to see how poorly I did on this.   I don't even see it. Where are you people? Oh there it is. Okay recharge the batteries. Next on the agenda. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 really reviews. This is fun. Let me see what it's at currently. I should start there.  Hit record. So we're definitely going to want this one. Okay we're recording. I'm looking at this camera now.  As of recording we're only one week away from Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.  As of recording this we're only one week out from Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. A film that James Gunn promises will be an emotional ending for our characters. Whatever that means. I'm excited. And I'm even... and I'm equally... and I'm equally excited by these early impressions from movie critics that are better than me and got to see this film early. Let's dive in see what they have to say. Spoiler free. As of right now. As of right now the tomato... as of right now the tomato meter. That's a tough thing to say. As of right now the tomato... tomato meter. As of right now the tomato meter. It's a weird thing to say. Since at 81% for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Which if you don't know means 81% of the critics that saw it. Thought it was better than it was worse. I know it's complicated over there. That doesn't mean that the movie is only 81% great. It just means that of the critics that saw it. 81% say it's a fresh film. Not a rod and film. And we're gonna dive into a few from each right now. First let's start with some... first let's start with some negatives. Rodrigo Perez says in James Gunn's over... maybe I should give him voices. Rodrigo... Rodrigo Perez says and I'm gonna do voices for these people because why not. In James Gunn's over to TAM to make Volume 3 the most heartbreaking Guardians movie and make you feel all the feels. The writer slash director just tends to overcook a lot of the scenes with weepiness that feels forced. Rodrigo was not too impressed. Rodrigo was not too impressed. You know what I'm not impressed with? The fact that he gave Thor Love and Thunder a fresh score. Yeah we're gonna be discrediting all of these reviews. Let's move on. Carla Hayes says it's clumsily... Carla Hayes says it clumsily tries to blend mean spiritedness... spiritedness? That's a tough word. It clumsily tries to blend mean spiritedness... Jesus spiritedness? It clumsily tries to blend mean spiritedness, I hate that word, with sentimentality. The new characters in this saga are hollow and horribly ridden. Most of the returning hero characters are often smug and irritating. You know what else is irritating? You gave Ravenousua a negative score on Ron Tomatoes. I don't actually know what Ravenousua is, but I agreed with you on pretty much everything I saw you review. So, okay maybe that one's a legit scary worrisome review, but we're gonna move on. Okay so maybe that's a legit concerning review, but let's keep going with the negatives. Peter Martin says a clumsy, overlong series finale that never strikes a balance between the touching story at its core and the numerous moving parts hovering in that story's vicinity. He gave the Super Mario Brothers movie a rodent. He gave the Super Mario Brothers movie a rodent score, so screw you!   Go back to your cigar. I don't even know what like pop is people do. Get back on your high horse and ride over to your cigar lounge with your buddies and and talk about how great Bo was afraid as you prick. Let's move on. El Merino says cue the Sarah McLaughlin music because James Gunn is trying hard to make you feel things. This ends up as a total mess that relies on Disney style emotional manipulation. Gave Blonde a fresh score. Gave that Ana de Armaspila Crappa positive there on Ron Tomatoes, so I don't really care what you have to say because that movie was awful. Let's get some positivity in our life. See what some of the pro critics had to say because I'm definitely not biased or going in thinking that this movie's gonna be great. That's not what a good critic does. Chris Joy says, when the movie is focusing on what it's done so well in the past with the topic of family, the story beats are emotional and impactful, shining with real heart. And just to show I'm a fair player, he also gave and just to show I'm a fair and just to show I'm fair and honest, he also gave Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantum Shitia, good old-fashioned positive on the site, so maybe I don't really care what Chris has to say.  Gun delivers an emotional send off for his reg tag group of misfits that possesses the humor and heart of the first two movies. Devoid of any real stakes. Volume three is not the best in the trilogy, but it's better than the last outing.  Give that one a fresh. Mark Hughes, for some reason I'm sarcastic clapping even though he genuinely liked the movie. Bravo! Everyone involved.  Actually, you know what? He said, and as usually, Gun has ramped it all up even better than before. And this is a Forbes, this is a person that works at Forbes apparently.  You're done. I don't care what you have to say. One more positive. Grace Randolph, America's sweetheart. The Marvel magic is back! James Gunn continues to evolve as a filmmaker, growing more confident and ambitious. The cast also does stellar work to deliver a thrilling, but also moving superhero movie. Discredited, it's Grace Randolph. Those are just some of the movie critic's thoughts on this film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol- Those are just some of the thoughts and critiques by the experts out there. The ones that saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 early, I'm not bitter. I gave you some pros. I gave you some cons. I think the overall takeaway we can get- I think the overall takeaway we can get from this is that the movie fulfills a lot of promises. It's emotional, maybe too emotional, maybe a little over the top.  I'm okay with that. It's Gunn. He likes to have some fun. Let Gunn have some fun is what I say. I'm excited for this film. I'm not overly optimistic because the MCU has been kind of a disaster since Endgame. There's been some good ones, but for the most part I've not really liked what they've been putting out, but in Gunn, I trust. Haven't really watched any of the trailers except for I think the first one that released. Haven't watched any clips. I know I'm gonna see it. I want to be surprised. I want to be wowed, and these critics so far aren't really turning me away, and that's good. We should always make up our own mind at the end of the day anyways. So I want to hear from you in the comments. Are you concerned? Are you worried? Have you already seen the movie? What did you think of it? Are you Grace Randolph? Let me know, Grace. She's a what? No, no. I don't want to hear from her. Please like the video if you enjoyed the commentary. Subscribe if you haven't already as I post tons of movie content each and every week. I would love to have you stick around, and hopefully I see you next time. Okay, Blanc, recordings done. File save. Guardians reviews. Let's head to the chat, see what people are thinking. We're gonna do some quick movie news segments very quickly because these will probably be used for shorts. I'm just gonna hit record and kind of go through them. When I'm done with these, I think I have three or four. Let's see. One, two, three. I got three to go over quick. After this is done, if there are any questions you want answered, if you want me to say something, if you want me to act like Khaleesi Grimes for a minute or so, leave a super chat. I might have to find my Khaleesi Grimes t-shirt, but that's okay. We can, or I can just do it like this. It doesn't matter. But yeah, anything you want to ask me, super chats are welcome at the end of the video. I'll answer questions. Otherwise, I'll just duck out because, you know, I'm tired. Okay. Oh god, is my computer, look at this, look at this professional work we're doing here. Computer is not charging. It's on life support technology.  Just go ahead and plug that right in there. Beautiful. Now we're playing with fire. All right, news. Let's get to it. Recording. Am I recording audio? Nope. It's time to rev up. I'll get there. It's time to rev up those engines. It's time to rev up those engines, PlayStation fans. There's a Twisted Metal series in the works on Peacock. Why? There hasn't been a Twisted Metal game in like a decade. Why now? Anyway, here's what it's about. Peacock has released the first teaser for its new action comedy series, Twisted Metal, which will premiere on the stream, on the streamer, what a weird sentence, which will premiere on Peacock on July 27 with all 10 episodes. That's right, if you want to watch Twisted Metal, you got to check it out on the cock, the Peacock. Most people know Twisted Metal for the vehicle carnage and Sweettooth, who's a clown with fire hair. He's teased in the trailer, but this is really focused on John Doe, a new character played by Anthony Mackie. Okay.  The poster for this movie is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life, and I've watched Cats, the movie. This poster is one of the worst things I've seen in my life, and I watched the movie Cats, so that tells you everything. The trailer itself seemed fine. I like the fact that we had, oh, what's that song like? The trailer was fine. The trailer was okay. What elevated it a little bit was Lens, Steal My Sunshine, because nostalgia. Otherwise, we didn't really get to see much. Looks like it's going to be playful. It's going to be post-apocalyptic like the game, set in Las Vegas. We'll see. We'll check it out on the cock when it hits. Okay. Is there an audience for this movie? I'm just so confused. I am genuinely confused why this is coming out now. There is no new game. It's not even revolving around a decade of games. It's so old now. How many PlayStation fans are like, oh, we got to get peacock for twisted metal? Weird. Bizarre. Okay. Second piece of news. Oh my god. I didn't even get a chance to look at this. Have you ever watched Winnie the Pooh and thought, man, I wish Christopher Robin was a, I got to see what this is about before I say something too bad. Okay. Have you ever watched Winnie the Pooh and thought to yourself, man, I like it, but I really wish Christopher, have you ever watched Winnie the Pooh and thought to yourself, this is fine, but I really wish Christopher Robin was on meth and having a midlife crisis and a New Yorker. I think he maybe lives in New York when he's not at the whatever the Pooh place is called, but whatever. There are a few characters more iconic and known the world over for their adventures together than Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh, said Nantel, Executive Vice President of Creative Affairs for Boat Rocker Studios. We're grateful to be working with Bay Mills team. What are the Boat Rocker Boat Rocker Studios in collaboration with Bay Mills. These are two things that exist are the ones responsible for taking the Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin license and just tossing it in the trash as if Winnie the Pooh blood and honey didn't get us there already. Is this a movie? I don't even know what this freaking thing is. It's a series. I'm not sure where it's going. Oh wait, currently slates. I'll see. Okay. I couldn't find out where this thing is actually heading if it even gets finished and out the door, but I'm going to guess like freebie or to be maybe somewhere with an E at the end that no one's ever heard of. It'll be on that app. Check it out on that app.  That's really what I want from Winnie the Pooh. I want to see Tigger rip open E. Orr and eat his innards. At some point Christopher Robin better get a scar down his eye and brandish a gun and just look down at the gravestone of Piglet. Don't watch me now little buddy. And then he just goes on a murderous rampage. That's really what I want from a Christopher Robin film. But then we find out it's all in his head because he's been on drugs the whole time laying in his bathtub, wrist slit. This is a family film. This is where the series naturally was going to go anyways. Let's be honest. Okay. Last topic for news. First we had a quiet place. Then we had a quiet place part two. Now we have a quiet place part three. Nope. Just kidding because that's how Hollywood works. You never have a consistent naming structure. Ask Fast and the Furious. Ask Alien. Ask Predator. They're all over the place. And speaking of places, we have a quiet place. What is it called? Day one. John Krasinski unveiled the first ever look at a quiet place day one at CinemaCon, the annual movie theater trade show in Las Vegas. Okay. What is it?  It's a prequel. We love those prequel films, don't we? They're always so good. Lupita Nyong'o. Lupita Nyong'o is going to be starring in this one. I'm kind of sold just by her alone. So you have my attention Krasinski. Let's see if you can stick the landing. Although I don't believe he has anything to do with it outside of kind of shepherding it along to the next director and writer. He's just kind of a producer at this point. He built the baby. Now he's going to let it run free. I guess it's a robot baby in the scenario. We follow Lupita's character as she navigates the horrific first moments of the alien invasion in the loudest city in the world, New York City. Okay. Blah blah blah. The minutes long teaser is also stuffed with explosions and upsetting footage of survivors attempting to hide under cars or elsewhere from deadly monsters. Okay, whatever. Krasinski turned over directing duties to Michael Sarnowski.  What did he do? Let's look up Michael Sarnowski. Pig. Pig. Okay. That doesn't really give me much to work with. Krasinski. Okay. And as of now, that's all we know. The director of Pig is taking the reins on this one. Lupita's in it. We had a teaser. She's in Manhattan, running away. There's explosions. There's zombies. It's a whole thing. It's a whole mess, really. Are we going to see the Abbott family show up at some point? Only time will tell. Only time will tell. I'm excited for this franchise. I'm excited for this expanding franchise. I like the first quiet place. I liked both quiet place movies so far. I'm excited for the franchise to expand with a quiet place day one, then we'll naturally get a quiet place part three, then we'll get a quiet place then we'll get a quiet place day two, a quiet place part four, a quiet place day three, and it's just going to go on and on. Maybe there's a third separate trilogy made as well, a quiet place, new beginnings, a quiet place, a quiet place rises, the rise of the rise of the war of the quiet place. I mean, there's so many options here. There's just so many options here.  And I think that's all the movie news. Oh, I got to stop this. Stop. Oh my god. I did three new movie things that are supposed to be for shorts and it ran 14 minutes. So that'll be fun to edit down. Movie news shorts. Oh, I didn't see the hot out of the gates, $10 super chat from Hack the Movies, Tony, World Famous, self-proclaimed World Famous Tony from Hack the Movies. You should definitely subscribe to his channel. I was on there the other day. We talked for several hours about the movies that we watched in April. It was a good time. I think I kind of led the charge over there, really stole the show when I wasn't, you know, booted several times for technical issues on his end, even though it was probably on my end. Tony says, just got here. Did you do a 10 minute rant on how mad you are? Sweet Tooth doesn't have actual fire on his head in the twisted metal trailer. No, Tony, I didn't. I was honestly just flabbergasted, taken aback that there's a twisted metal TV series coming to Peacock. We have a, we have a series to check out in the cock now.  He's like, when you go Super Saiyan mode, that's what I'm thinking is going to happen. Is there any other movie news that I didn't touch upon that would be good to touch upon? Should I, I'm looking for movie news to touch? If you don't have anything and there's no Super Chat questions, then, I mean, we can, we can stop this right now. We can pull the plug. There's no reason to go longer than we need to. I feel like, I said my piece, got some good filming done. Yeah, Tony, the self-proclaimed part, you noticed that I kind of weaseled that in there? Kind of put that in there at the end. T-Bone. Tony, my wife is having me do a podcast. She's making me do one on movies. So that's coming out Monday, this Monday on Spotify and Apple Music, Adam Does Movies. That's, that's what you can find it, where you can find it at. Peter Pan and Wendy Reboot came out today, says Karim. Yes, I did see that. Kenzo in the mix, Transformers trailer dropped. I could do a Transformers trailer reaction. Should I do a Hammy Transformers trailer reaction? I don't think I can put it, the trailer up during the lives. I could try. I could try to put the trailer up during the live. Let me, I don't want to get copyright flagged. I can keep the music off though, I suppose. Hey, Tony, do you get copyright flagged if you like share your browser screen and play the YouTube video? T-Money, you'll have to, you'll have to let me know that before I start because I'm, I'm concerned. Like if I'm talking over it the whole time, is it really gonna show up? Matt's wondering what the origin is of the Adam Dick dance. Matt, that's gotta be in a super chat. I'm not answering that question. Patreon, Patreon supporter Matt. Kenzo says yes, ham it up. We'll ham it up. I assume you guys want the trailer with me though, right? Let me, let me find the trailer and then I'll wait for Tony if he's still there, if he didn't leave. Transformers Rise of the Beasts trailer 2. It's so funny that Jesus Christ, the freaking Tyrone Magnus has almost 100,000 views on his trailer reaction. Oh my gosh, these people. What is insane? Why do people like this stuff? It's so phony. No one acts like this when they watch a trailer. Tony says it's a gamble. I usually pause it and comment. I think if you play the trailer the whole time it might get hit. Yeah, I know T-Money. I don't, what if I played it like super duper small? Why don't I play it really small? I could pause it once in a while as well. Let's, let's, we could try that again. I better not. It's too much work. We're wasting time. We're wasting time. It's not worth it. Watch me work it. Hey Tony, can you react to my reaction of Transformers since I lied and didn't do my reaction of that other video I was supposed to? I already forgot what it was called. Can you react to this instead? Where are my headphones? Gotta have headphones for this. Found them. So Hack the Movies is going to react to me reacting to this trailer. I don't know Tyrone Magnus. I just, his video showed up.  That was all I was saying. Nothing against Tyrone. I don't know Tyrone. Clearly he knows what works on YouTube because he's, he's doing it. Douglas, I answered the question about Ezra Miller. I think he was on the last live. He was in the last one, but I can't, I can't, I can't in good conscience answer your question. Super chat-free. This is, this is the point of lives. Um, okay. We're gonna, we're gonna watch this trailer quick. And I'm gonna give you a amazing breakdown. Better hit record. Better record this one. What's up auto bitches? I can't say that. You can't swear on YouTube right away. What's up auto boys? No, okay. I was told there was a new Transformers rise of the beast trailer. So I'm gonna react to it because that's what adult men on YouTube do. Let's start. We have our standard teaser trailer to the beginning of the trailer itself. Okay. Optimal, optimal. What is it? What is the Optimus Primal? Optimus Primal is hopping through the woods. We see New York City. Is that the, were those the two towers? Is that the World Trade Center? Okay. So it's definitely a prequel. It takes place in the past. Love those prequels. Light is coming down from the sky. A giant butthole robot is up there that's probably Unicron. Um, we have our new protagonist. He's not Sam Witwicky, not my Sam Witwicky. I'll tell you that right now. Got thrown out of a car and the car has transformed because that's what they do. Here comes Optimus Prime. Old school. He's picking the boy up. He could crush him like a stick if he wanted to. Okay. We have some new Transformers in the mix. Oh my gosh. Stuff is crashing. Oh, what? Robots coming out of the water. Cheetor is in here. Okay. We got the sexy Autobot motorcycle chick. Yep. Here he is. Unicron. Bumblebee! Bumblebee! Okay. We got a mother-son scene. We got maybe a girlfriend. Oh! Prime with the right hook. Okay. We got explosions. We got a hero pose lineup. Avengers-esque.  Let them come. Girls dangling for her life. Slow motion robot chick. Scared. Scared out of her mind. These robots have feelings. Okay. Primal. Primal swinging around. Rips a robot in two. Scorpion down for the count. We got a rhino. Kind of looked like the one from Black Panther. Oh my god! There is just chaos everywhere. Transformers logo comes up and we are done. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Not real impressions. It looks all right. I thought the first trailer was better to be honest with you. I don't normally react like this to trailers, but people seem to enjoy when you ham it up. Anyway, I'm like on the fence with this one. We've had what? Six transformers movies? Five or six? I can take these off now. I'm not using them. Two of them are good and that's being generous. I like the first one quite a bit.  I like that he yells everything. Bumblebee! Optimus! I like that Optimus is constantly trying to kill himself. Put the cube in my chest, Sam. Optimus, chill dude. We don't really need to. Like we can just put the cube in my chest. I self-censored there. You're welcome. Once Wahlberg got into the mix, I was out. It just became trash. Then you had the Hailey Steinfeld Bumblebee story. That was actually quaint and nice. It was cute. It was a fun time for the whole family. Now here we are full-blown Michael Bay Fest again without the Bay Best. New director, new writers, new cast, maybe the same attitude? Hopefully a better one. We have new robots in the mix. We've got new Autobots, new Decepticons.  I'm hoping that this is a trilogy and they don't waste this dude on one movie because this is like as good as it gets. This is the biggest bad you can get.  Don't you dare ruin him. Like they've done so many things in the past. Galactus come to mind from Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer? Because I think of it, it was a gas cloud. The hell. I actually think it would be really ballsy. They won't do it. Not a chance. But they should. Destroy Earth in this movie. Freakin obliterate it.  Let's infinity-worthy situation. Then the next two movies take place other worlds. Off-Planet Earth. I mean I already know this isn't happening so I'm just an old man yelling into the wind. But I think that would be pretty cool. We've seen Earth get saved so many times. It's getting boring. Let's spice it up a little bit in our Hasbro toyline film made for kids. Also DMX. Oh wait not DMX. That's not DMX. Is that DMX? Who does Rough Riders Anthem? Is that DMX? Rough Riders Anthem. I think it's DMX, right? I mean it sounds just like him. Yeah okay just want to make sure. Also the Rough Riders Anthem by DMX. The masterpiece film. Also the masterpiece known as Rough Rider. Also the masterpiece Rough Riders Anthem by DMX. Why? Why is it in this trailer? It's so out of place. This is such an annoying new trend they've been doing where you take part of a rap song and you play it at Nazium. It doesn't fit. They did it with Shazam recently with that Eminem song. Let's get down to business. Explosion explosion explosion. Well let's get down to business. Explosion explosion. It just keeps going off into the night. It needs to stop. It needs to die out. Trailer's fine. I thought the first one was better. We'll go it. We'll go see it. I'll bring the boy. I'll bring the boy and we'll have a good time. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. You hyped? You as hyped as I was with my phony reaction? Or are you a little bit more on the fence?  You've been burned too many times by Prime and his friends. Let me know in the comments. Like the video if you had some fun. Please subscribe if you're new here or just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Blast that subscribe button. Love to have you stick around. Hopefully I'll see you next time. I'm like spitting. Files. Save. Transformers. Romance in disguise. Mm hmm. Matt Sklarow took what I said to heart. Throws a super chat telling me to do the dance. Okay Matt, since you said it, the Adam Dick dance. That was born. That was birthed, if you will. Way back in, I want to say college. I was with my cousin Bob. We were at like a freaking Baker Square, which they're like restaurants for old people. It's kind of like a Perkins. If you're in the States, you might know what they are. It might be a Midwestern thing. I don't know if we have any here in South Carolina. Regardless, we were just having a nice meal, some pie, and I was thinking how funny it would be if guys just danced like did different moves with their dicks. Like pretending that they're way out here. And you know, they have different dance moves to it. To really, really win the women over, you know, in the club.  You had the pepper grinder. You had the salt and pepper. Some of the more painful ones were the cobra. What else was there? The swing baby batter swing? I'm trying to think of the lasso. I think there was a few others, but oh yeah. And then there was like top of the muffin to you. Just kind of rubbing the top, the head. This is what a grown man does in his 40s. 40 years old, folks. It's the taste you can see. We were going to do a celebratory Adam Dick dance when we hit 100,000 subscribers. So look for that when I turn 50. I'll have my plaque up. They'll have, by the time that happens, YouTube will have changed the requirements. It'll be like 250,000 subscribers because it's just too easy to get to 100,000. They're like, congratulations. You're almost there. You're almost halfway. Tear trickles down. Thank you for the super chat, Matt and Tony, of course. Emmett says, just joined. Definitely knew you were talking about transformers. Yeah. I did a rant recently on the whole movie trailer fiasco and it's just so getting, it's played out. It's really played out. Crotty Cox. That's a good one, Matt. I like that. I haven't done that one, the Crotty Cox. Oh, bongos. That was one. There was a lot. The sad part is the conversations I used to have. I think it was me and Bob and it might have been Clint, another buddy, but we're sitting there in the restaurant at like 10 o'clock at night talking about different dick dances for what had to have been an hour. Just amazing stuff. What a time to be alive. Straight facts. That is a question which should be formed in a super chat, but it is a movie review. I'll give you this one because it's not really anything. Not really a personal question. I wanted to see Sisu, Sizzu. It's not playing. I don't know where it's playing at. It's not here. It's not playing at Regal. I am at the mercy of Regal where I live in South Carolina. There is a Regal 20 minutes from me, which is the closest, or there's a Regal 35 minutes from me, 40 minutes from me. And then outside of those two, there's just nothing. There's nothing around me. I move to the state that has no movie premieres, doesn't do shit for movie critics, and doesn't play all the movies that come out. So it's a great place. Really smart move for me. Really, really top of the line. Really high brow thinking there. Big brain. I'll leave a few more minutes for super chats. Otherwise, we will call it a day. We'll call it a Tina Fey. It's 11.35. We went for, you know, almost an hour. I was late. I apologize. Oh wait, it says I was live for an hour 16 so far. Although, movie boss. Yeah, it's about an hour. That's where I like to live. Pyro Bay, Bubba. I don't want to watch a cam version. I want to watch like a good solid version. So that's not happening. If you can find it playing on Regal in Regal theaters, let me know because I have, unless it's a thing you stream somewhere, is it on the cock? You watch it on the peacock? It looks good though. It's the John Wick meets, I don't know, like no country for old men. There will be blood. I don't know what do you even compare it to. I guess it's a war movie, right? So it'd be, and Glorious Bastards would probably be more appropriate. Glorious Bastards meets John Wick. All right, so to wrap things up for the night, we have, what day is it today? Friday?  What's coming out tomorrow? Oh, I'll have the Little Mermaid posters up on the, on the channel. I'll probably push out a bunch of shorts for those and TikToks for those as well because I think they'll turn out funny, hopefully. Sunday there probably won't be a video. Monday, the podcast. One more time, I'm going to push this podcast. Adam does movies, Spotify, hopefully it's on Apple Music and some of the other major ones. I've honestly barely used this tool that I've got going, so it's anybody's guess really, but that's the idea behind it. Podcasts, probably about 40 minutes in length. It's going to be a fun time. More musings of me talking films. It's going to be a little bit more personal, a little bit more intimate for you. Monday through Friday, we have a game plan. My wife has a game plan. I'm going to try to stick with it as best as humanly possible. Again, think about joining Patreon. There's a $1 tier. $1 tier. Same with YouTube Join. Actually, YouTube Join may be $4.99. There's different tier levels, but basically, all of them give you access to 300 plus videos that are on my secret second channel, Adam Olinger, that has nothing there. It looks like it has nothing there, but there's all these private videos for Patreon users, some of which I've been showing at the beginning of these live streams. Matt, by the way, Matt, if you're still here, did you ever watch the Movie Boss season one?  Or were you like, eh, I'm glad it's over.  That was fun doing that with my brothers, actually. Step brothers, technically, but they're brothers. They're brothers. Oh, yeah, yeah. Bubba's saying hit the bell. Hit the bell. Hit the notification bell on the main channel feed so you get these things propagating in the future. Gotta hit the notification bell. Yeah, Straight Facts says, yeah, don't see any times for regal, only AMC theaters. Unreal, isn't it? I almost went, I was supposed to go to the, the frick is his name, George Foreman boxing movie today, but I got kind of caught up on work and other things and I thought, I don't, I don't really know if anybody cares that much about this film. I don't even care that much about the film. So I didn't see it. But I didn't, I had no movie review. I have Patreon reviews going on next week, Mulholland Drive. Two, I'm trying to get two a week. What's the other one? Gotta bring up my notes. Got freaking notes everywhere now. It's like a Charlie Day conspiracy board behind me, except for it's in Google Drive. Where is it? Upcoming video next week, trying to put Patreon reviews out Wednesdays is the goal. Okay, Mulholland Drive. And then I can only imagine, which I can only imagine is garbage. I've never seen it, never heard of it. Life Force, Deadstream, Jan, uh, Janisle, I don't know how you say the name, Janisle, he or she, recommended Samurai Cop. But then after I bitched about how random and obscure these movies were and how they are actually hurting my channel, he is going to change it to something else. So I appreciate that.  Is that really still on the list? Yeah, it is. Oh yeah, Justin, Justin, Justin's standing by it. He says it's really good. Wind River, cats, which I'm very excited to do. Awakenings, Tucker and Dale versus Evil. I've seen that one. Mall rats. And the Polar Express for Christmas. Oh, and Mending, I think, is going to stay a member on Patreon. So I might have him put another review request in before we get to Polar Express. But yeah, one, two, three, four, five, six, and we got 14 on the list. Two, four, six, eight, 10, 12, 14. We got seven weeks of Patreon movie requests. Maybe I'll get three done a week. We'll see. We'll see how we do. But it's at least a, it's a doable thing right now, which is good. So definitely show support and sign up if you haven't or if you can. Okay. Bubba's asking, Matt says I've seen some of the episodes. Love it. Okay, good. I'm glad you do.  I thought Bo was afraid was, I ended up falling on the like side of Bo is afraid. Some art stuff works for me, some doesn't. It just depends. It depends. Jan Rose, you said it correctly and I'm female. Okay. Thank you for letting me know. Janisle. I don't know how I said it. Janisle? Oh God. Janisle I think is what you said. Do you want to just be called Jan in the video?  Okay. Let me head over there. Let me see what you have cooking. Oh, yeah, you did. Look at that. And I got a $1 new pledge by Excalibur. So thank you Excalibur. It's like a week ago, but yeah, it was a week ago. I didn't say anything. Okay. Okay. Janisle says, so how does Jennifer's body sound? Now you're speaking my language. I'm gonna have to fire that one up with the misses again. I actually, it's not, it hasn't been that long since I watched Jennifer's body. I had not seen it, you know, when it released, I didn't watch it. It looked terrible. Megan Fox is not a very good actress. Very attractive, of course, but I need a little bit more than that. Plus I'm happily married. So and Lindsay doesn't like when I watch, you know, stuff like that to just be a perv. But if she watches with me, it's okay. So I finally got her to watch and it was actually a solid movie. I will happily rewatch Jennifer's body for multiple reasons. Story comes first, though, for this guy. And it has a good one. Okay. What else did you say? Evil or Evil Dead 2013 version? Oh, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan. I have not seen the 2013 Evil Dead. I have not seen the 2013 Evil Dead. How about we do this? How about unless you want to definitive definitively tell me what you want or you're going to stay a Patreon for the foreseeable future, we can do both of them. I can do a poll on the channel. Do a poll for Evil Dead 2013 versus Jennifer's body. And we can see what people decide. We can leave it up to the viewer. Hack the Movies watched it for the first time two years ago and loved it. Yeah, it's a good movie. Yeah, I heard the 2013 Evil Dead is wild. People were furious that I didn't have it in my poster movie review or poster movie breakdown video where I did the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. And listen, I blame you guys because I went through those. I didn't see anything in the comments saying Adam, you missed the 2013 movie. I completely forgot it existed. And I didn't see it. So it wasn't at the top of my mind. I screwed up a lot. So now I'm at the point where I just blame other people for my mistakes because that's what being American is all about. Jan says sounds good. Jan, where did we sit on the name? Do you want to be called Jan Rose or do you want to be called Janisle? And since I've said the name differently every single time, Janisle, that's up to you. It's going to be a wild card performance either way. I'm just going to wait for Jan to get back to me. This whole stream is now hinging on Jan getting back to me. She said Jan is perfect. Oh, okay. Bubba's going to answer. Sorry, I didn't see that. I missed it earlier. Hydro cat says Wind River is so good. I thought Wind River was fine. I didn't think it was like amazing. It's definitely a watchable film. Okay, Jan Rose works.  She's laughing hysterically at my disaster of a final performance here. Let me update the notes for that as well. Where did that go now? I lost everything. Everything's falling apart right at the end. Jan Rose. Got it. It's perfect. Everything's perfect. Okay, that's it. Goodbye. Goodbye. I'm done. Those are what we have to look forward to in the coming weeks. Again, bear in mind, it's always a work in progress. I often say things and don't stick with them. Movie Feuds was supposed to come back on Fridays. Where is it at? Where are we at with that? I don't know. We're flying by the seat of our pants constantly. Try not to take on too much additional work. I'm constantly getting yelled at by myself and by my peers saying, what are you doing? Why are you screwing things up again? Just focus on one or two things. That's what we're doing. Have a good night. Thank you for joining me on the stream. The next live stream will be a Tuesday, hopefully at 10. That's when we like to hit it. It's been starting at like 10-10 though, but we make it happen every time. I would put out a notice if the stream was canceled for any reason. Thanks again for watching and the stream is ending. Have a good night.


What's the word y'all? My favorite time of the day is sitting down here after a full slate of games to talk about things I saw. I wanna say I appreciate y'all for the amount of love y'all showed on these videos since we've come back into the NBA season. I wanna remind you to leave a like and if you're new around here subscribe and we talking about basketball a lot. I don't wanna say daily, but it is a lot. I wanna open up today's episode by talking about the New York Knicks. Today they played against the Philadelphia 76ers on national television and the final score makes it seem like it was kinda close but in reality it was nowhere near close. They blew them boys out of the water. There was memes going around and said that Ben Simmons had never lost to the New York Knicks in his entire career and then the one game Ben Simmons doesn't play the 76ers get dominated by the Knicks. There's this thing that people believe that Bulls fans and Knicks fans must hate each other. If one is doing good the other must gotta talk trash and vice versa. I am not a part of that camp.  I'm not holding my father's grudges as an NBA fan. What are we in the medieval times? I don't care. And it's hard for me not to like the Knicks because they got their roles, Tom Thibodeau and Todd Gibson and those dudes are responsible for some of my best years as an NBA fan.  But I wanna talk about them because they're better this year than they were last year. Now I don't know if they're gonna have a better record because a lot of teams in the Eastern Conference are better like my Chicago Bulls, like the Charlotte Hornets, teams that were below them last year, but they are a better equipped team to do more noise when it comes to the playoffs. So let's talk about that. So y'all know the story. Last year, Tom Thibodeau gets the keys to the car and he turns the New York Knicks around. The New York Knicks had been one of the laughing stocks in the NBA and Julius Randall had to blossom. They had a bunch of these role players that were playing above contract and above value and they went on to be one of the four, five seats in the Eastern Conference. Boom, Tom Thibodeau coached it a year and people really questioned whether or not that year was a fluke because let's be honest, a lot of stuff happened last year for the Knicks to do with what they did. Not taken away from them, but there are some circumstances. The Raptors were playing in Tampa. The Hornets lost Gordon Hayward and did Lamello ball. At one point they were a four, five seat in the conference. The Pacers completely hated their coach and the Celtics had a lot of virus stuff going on last year. Now all of those combined and then you add the Knicks being an elite level defense and a decent offense, they were able to steal the number four seat. And then we got to the playoffs and you saw everything that happened. Trey Youngs and Madison Square Garden said, it's quiet in here, just in a crowd and a lot of people were questioning whether or not last year was a fluke because all four of those teams that I just mentioned had some type of, well I guess the Raptors aren't good right now, but three of the four teams that had something happen to tank their season are back and they're better than they were last year. But I believe that this New York Knicks team is more equipped because of some of the things they did this off season and the way they're playing offensively this year is a lot different. Now I know we're only a week into the season and we shouldn't be overreacting to some of the statistics, but I think this is a good base level to kind of see where the New York Knicks season is about to go. Last year, the New York Knicks offense was not great. They had one of the best offensive teams in the league and they had a guy that was blossoming to a star in Jules Randall closed out a lot of games, but they were 24th in the league when it came to like three point attempts and they were a bottom 10 offensive team when it comes to offensive rating. A lot of that last year has changed. One of the big things we saw when we got to the playoffs is that the Atlanta Hawks in the maze and job are focusing in on Jules Randall and daring anybody else on the team to do anything. And then that's when we saw Derrick Rose have a big time moment or two, but for the most part they didn't have a lot of shot creation, a lot of shot makers outside of Jules Randall and he had been strung thin at that point. This off season hits and well, they fixed some of those things. Evan48 got signed on the first day of free A&C and I recommend y'all go look at the replies of the tweets from woes when it was announced and see the sheer amount of people that saw their signing and was like, oh my God, overpay, Evan48 was just in Boston needin' to a damn thing and what are the nicks doing? They got all this money and they just brought everybody back and Evan48, yeah, and I immediately knew when they signed him that that was a good signing as far as pieces go on the team. But one thing I do understand is that in the year 2021 some of the contracts you see people sign are gonna look ridiculous, outrageous because of the name, we talk about $80 million, but you really think about it in 2021, that's just the price of players. If you're gonna be an above average starter in the year 2021, you're gonna be making between 15 to 20 million and sometimes even more. The reason I say that, the New York mix signed Evan48 for a year 78, I think it was exactly and people immediately on Twitter was like, yo, what are the nicks doing? What are they, I understand it. Sure, it might be slightly above what you think Evan48 was worth, but I'm telling you, it's not that bad. I might do that more often, by the way, to show old clips of me being right about something. I'll never show clips of me being wrong, but me being right, count it, I might do it often. Because again, once we got to the playoffs, they didn't have people that can create their own shot or even hit the shot when they aren't creating and now they added that. They got a guy in Kimball Walker who again just a few years ago was an NBA All-Star Starter. Now the first couple of games of Kimball Walker's career in New York haven't been stellar, but it's like whatever you get from Kimball Walker is a plus because that was a spot that you had basically no production from offensively because it was freaking Elfer Payton and you got him at what, $6 million a year. Now I told y'all that the New York nicks were 24th and three point attempts last year. Do you wanna take a wild guess where they stand throughout the first week or so of the NBA season? Now when it comes to attempts, they are tied for third.  And we're just talking about attempts like Julius Randall has a shot the ball amazingly well the first couple of games of the season, but when it comes to sheer amount of attempts, they are up there and when it comes to accuracy, they're seventh. They're taking a crazy more amount of threes and hitting them at a higher rate and guess what? The defense so far this year hasn't been top five like last year, but it's been top eight. So you got a better shooting team with the same offensive like identity and that's a scary team. It just is. And the defensive scheme is pretty much the same. We're gonna take away all the easy buckets and we're gonna dare you to shoot and if you can shoot, good job. But we're not letting you do anything inside. And I'm gonna give a lot of love to Mitchell Robinson for today because Joel and B was questionable because of injuries going into it. And Mitchell Robinson saw that and kind of took advantage of it. Joel and B was basically playing for the New York Knicks tonight. So shout out to him. I'm very curious to see what Mitchell Robinson's market is going to be. Cause I've seen some people speculate that Mitchell Robinson won't get to resign, but he'll have a performance like this and you got to look at him and be like, they got to resign him. He's been pretty good without getting into foul trouble so far this season. The New York Knicks basketball team is solid. And that is gonna be the Chicago Bulls' first test against the New York Knicks. Can't wait Thursday night. I think it's like joke him Noah Day in Chicago or something like that. And I really wished that the Bulls did joke him Noah Day or festivities when we were going against Cleveland for obvious reasons. All right, but that was just one game of today that I wanted to go on in a little mini-rent about. We shall see how the rest of the season is. We had the Warriors going to OKC in OKC. And for a good majority of this game, OKC was doing a thing. They were hitting shots. At one point they were like eight, four, or 10 from three or something like that. Everybody was getting in on the fun. And they were basically triple double and triple team and Steph Curry. And then the other people around Steph Curry were hitting shots and that was the game and that was the comeback. And it's so funny how fans overreacted. And I'm not saying, yo, I just mean as in general, I'm counting all of us in that because I'm overreacted too. I mean, half of this channel is overreacting. It's just what we do. Before the season started, there was clips going around about Shay Gildes Alexander in his changed shot. And NBA fans, I don't want to say OKC fans specifically because there were a lot of NBA fans weighed in on the fact that Shay Gildes Alexander's shot is a little bit differently. And then he started off the NBA season. He's like, what, terribly? The first two games of the season, he was like 14 points and just shooting it bad and bad. And people are going back to that video, like, ah, OKC broke Shay. And then in the last two games, putting up 30 each. Now, I know he got his bag, so I can't say I feel sorry for a dude that just signed a max contract. But the boy is probably going to win 12 games this season because even a game like this where a little like they handed on the wraps is just like that. And the Warriors were back in it and won the game. It can't be good for a young player to endure that many losses. He's going to be the modern day Zach Levy. But then again, Shay Gildes Alexander had already been in a playoff series when he was with the Clippers and he was a part, if I'm not mistaken, he was a part of that big old comeback versus the Warriors when it was a 1A matchup. And I went to his bed that night and they woke up and they came back from like a 30 point deficit. So I guess he already has a little bit of playoff experience, but him being on really bad teams for the next four years or so people are going to start talking. Yeah, he can play, he can score, but he doesn't contribute to winning. Those are the type of things fans be doing, talking hands be doing. I didn't watch Rockets versus Maverick, sorry. But Lakers versus Spurs got very, very interesting. I want to start off on the Spurs because I do want to spend more time on the Lakers. I'm sorry Spurs fans, this is what it is. I made a vow to myself that I was going to watch more Spurs games and this was like one of my first sit down and completely watched. I keep my eyes open on a lot of different games every single night, but I kept my eyes dialled and on this one. And I've said this before, I don't know if it was necessarily on this channel on the podcast, how I really, really like Jakob Perto. And I believe he's one of the most underrated centers in the league. I even made a tweet while the game was going on, like him and Rashawn Holmes are battling for the most underrated. And people threw some names and had Robert Williams, Mitch Robinson after tonight, which are good names. The only reason I would say Jakob Hodel or Rashawn Holmes will be a little bit more underrated is they're playing for teams that don't get national TV time. So people legitimately just saw Mitch Robinson, D-Up, Joel and Bean. So more people have Mitch Robinson on the radar. The Celtics play a lot of nationally televised games. So they see that Mitch Robinson's abs in a double double with like four blocks or whatever it may be. Nobody, a casual NBA fan doesn't know the name, Jakob Perto. And I think they should man, defensively he has been good over the last couple of seasons like the advanced stats absolutely love him. And today you saw more of his offensive things so far this season. He's been better playing in like the negative space and he's been a better roller. And today he she had his career high 27 points. Now the biggest thing about Jakob Hodel has been his free throw shooting the entire season. And the team as a whole, I think Ms. Seven free throws in a row in the fourth quarter that would have won them this game. And I remember watching, it might've been their first to second game with a season I was listening to their broadcast and they were talking about how much of an improved free throw shooter Jakob Hodel was at the end of the last year they were saying he shot like 72% from the free throw line in the last X amount of games. And in the beginning of the season he was starting off on that same streak. And then today he got fouled a bunch it felt like in that fourth quarter and he only hit one in overtime. But a good game from him. Keldon Johnson had to get pretty much yanked because he didn't make a big enough impact for him to even be on the floor because he is an undersized four man and Doug McDermott had went out with an injury or whatever and his game revolves around getting to the basket. The Lakers are running big anyway. So Greg Popovich went with KdaBaseDop the goat if you don't know, then I can't fill you in.  I was super surprised to see that that is young was getting any PT because I kind of assume that he wouldn't play he was just gonna sit at home until he was eligible to be traded. He played three minutes, got two fouls and that was a wrap that was it from them. But does John take Murray? Oh my God. Listen, I have a friend and I say friend because we've talked to each other on the internet. His name is Foolish Bailey. He has a baseball channel that I completely recommend. Completely recommend for anybody that's trying to get back into baseball or just a baseball fan is Foolish Baseball than the second channel is Foolish Bailey. Before the baseball season started he created his own and I know this is gonna make sense in a second. He created his own advanced stat. And at the end of the year he went back to see if his advanced stats were accurate in the sense of trying to predict good hitters in baseball. Now the reason I'm saying that is because watching this game and watching John take Murray today I have decided to come up with my own advanced stat but I'm not actually gonna put the work here. I'm just gonna tell it to you. We need a field goal percentage or shooting percentage that subtracts the amount of misses that led to a second chance point. Does that make sense? So for today, Dejante Murray shot nine for 14. He's very rushed to Westbrook like tonight. Nine for, I'm sorry, 24. I wanna say like five of those, six of those misses ended up in Yacopoto's hands on the offensive glass and ended in a bucket. So should we count Dejante Murray as a miss? That's what my advanced stat is. Let's take away all the misses that led to second chance points. So now Dejante Murray's stat line looks a little bit better than the 37% from the field. He was really good tonight though. He was everywhere on the defensive side of the ball, passing lanes, just getting, creating havoc. And I really enjoyed watching the Spurs team and this will not be the last time I watched him. Let's talk about the Lakers side of things. LeBron James laid scratch because he had the injury the other day and I tweeted when LeBron went down an injury I kind of have the same kind of tweet reaction to anybody going down when Yocas went down I said the same injury, Anthony, same tweet. Anthony Davis went down at the same tweet basically saying, oh no. I hope he's okay. And after all of that, a day later there were a ton of fans, NBA fans, they were going at that tweet and just talking about how X player be faking injuries, talking about LeBron once his team is down. And I'm just like, why does LeBron get out of any, just anybody, not just LeBron, why does player X get out of faking an injury that's gonna hold them out the next game? Now when Anthony Davis went down you can make an argument that he needed a breather because he had already played 38 minutes at that point or whatever it was and he's maybe not in the complete shape since the beginning of the season. So let me hold my knee for two minutes and sit on this floor. But an injury that's gonna hold you out, nobody is faking that injury. Anyway, we saw a sort of Anthony Davis today which was amazing. Before the season started Anthony Davis said in some pre-season interviews they're like, hey, Russ Westberg, LeBron, LeBron, these are all players telling me that this is my team now. And in the first game of the season he showcased, hey, I could still be the dude that a lot of people wanted to build their franchise around and then he wasn't as good. But he has for the entire season I would say for most part been good. And today he was super sort of not having a LeBron James. And this was Russell Westbrook's best game as a part of the LA Lakers. Huh. And what I am digging into, again, a king of overreactions because that's what NBA fans do. When him and LeBron are in the court together Russell Westbrook for the most part is a native. And the reason I say that is because for Russell Westbrook to do the things that Russell Westbrook can do he needs the ball in his hands. LeBron James has been a great three-point shooter the entire season so far. But he is also a player that needs the ball in his hands. So when the other player is trying to create or try to do whatever he needs to do the other one is not really doing anything. We're not seeing no backdoor cuts from LeBron from Russell Westbrook from anybody. And it doesn't help that they run in line-ups of DeAndre, Jordan or Dwight Howard being in the court. So if Russell Westbrook did want to create for himself all snap AD is down there and Dwight is down there. And what I did like is their previous win against the Memphis Grizzlies which I don't think we talked about in this channel was when we got to the late game Anthony Davis was at the five and Russell Westbrook was running a pick and roll with LeBron and that opened up to like a baseline jump shot for Anthony Davis and then a dunk for Anthony Davis the offense looked way more fluid when they allowed or made Russell Westbrook do anything when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. So today with no LeBron James and really no secondary ball handler we got to see Russell Westbrook do what Russell Westbrook could do and this is the exact reason you trade for Russell Westbrook. Now I'm not saying I love to trade still but I'm saying this is the type of these are the type of games that Russell Westbrook wins for you all snap one of our star players whether it be LeBron or Anthony Davis is out take us home Russ and he did that. Russell Westbrook is one of the greatest floor razors in the history of basketball where it don't really matter who's around him if you need a win in the regular season he can put it together and put together that win and that's what he did today. 33, oh he didn't get his triple double washed 33, 10 and eight. And big time moments and overtime a dunk, some rebounds when you needed them. Good game from Russ. We got a good Malik Munt game, Austin Reeves. Austin Reeves. Now he ain't gonna be no Alice Caruso as far as being a huge fan favorite in LA but they always need a dude to root for out of nowhere and that's Austin Reeves. Anyway, it looks like the Utah Jazz closed out this win. I can't say much about it. Listen, who did the thing? Yolkic in his 15 minutes had 24 points and was almost perfect from the field with just one turnover. So, things might have been differently if he was able to play in the second half. Rudy Gobera got his overall rebounds. It was at 15 and he ended up getting 16 so I'm into money on that one. Yeah, I can't say much about this one. I still believe Utah fans, man y'all got a whole video for me like last week, bro. Y'all cool without me talking about them today. That's it, as always, man. If you enjoyed the video, leave it a like. This, I of course enjoy making any kind of video and that's why I do this YouTube thing but this channel has a special place in my heart as far as just talking basketball. It's just what I love doing, man. So I can't wait to talk to y'all again tomorrow but until then, peace.
