| 0:03.2 | Filling in for Mr. New York today on 710 W.O.R. |
| 0:08.0 | Here's Jesse Weber. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, I love talking all things Hollywood, entertainment movies. |
| 0:14.0 | I never get a chance to really do that in my other jobs. |
| 0:17.2 | I'm always talking law and crime and things like that. |
| 0:19.7 | So it is a treat for me. |
| 0:54.4 | I want to bring in right now Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411. Roger's work with Fox News. His reviews are carried by Rotten Tomatoes and he's a member of both the movie and TV branches of the Critics Choice Awards. Roger, great to have you here. Good morning, Jesse. How are you? I'm good. I'm going to get into the strike in a minute, but I don't know if you heard me before. I saw Oppenheimer, and I thought it was a great movie. I thought the acting was phenomenal. But am I wrong? I was let down by the Trinity Test. I was let down by the bomb. They're talking about there's no special effects. It's gonna be the craziest thing you ever seen. You have to see it in IMAX. The thing was like 90 seconds and I wasn't |

I just, I don't know, I was expecting something else. All right. I'm not a movie critic. I thought it was kind of cool, but if you want to see big, if you want to see big special effects. Last night, I went to see Back to the Future on Broadway. |
| 2:03.7 | Oh, how was that? |
| 2:05.0 | I've never seen special effects like this before. |
| 2:08.6 | The musical part of it isn't that great. |
| 2:11.6 | The songs aren't that great. |
