| 1:25.3 | Brand new. What how many episodes? Maybe like episodes out? Six maybe. I don't know. |
| 1:30.3 | Okay. Tell us a little bit about the podcast. Well, it's like for people who don't like sports like me, it does like a fantasy football element, but with the movies. It's like treating box office like a sport. |
| 1:42.0 | Okay. Basically. We just do box office analysis, which, but none of us know anything. So, wild guesses. Talking about the numbers, taking swings. Yeah, and then predictions and then just, you know, do you see anything that weekend? Would you like? That kind of stuff. Yeah, so I guess it's, there is like a fantasy flicks league app. There is an, or it's a website. Or it's a website that Ryan Meherry. Your friends can like make a league at the beginning of the year. Right. Pick your favorite move, what you think was going to be the big hit. And you get points for box office, metacritic score, and Oscars. Okay. And Meherry, Ryan Meherry, former guest and friend of the show, he started that.

It's one of those movies to where it's like, you're like, I, I see what you guys were doing. Are you like me, like within like five or ten minutes, you can tell whether you're going to like a movie or not? Oftentimes, I am, I think, but this one I was even, I was a little like, I don't know. I don't know if I can handle Cooper's voice in this. But I like that they called it out. |
