Wrestling Soup. I'm Anthony Thomas. He's about the worst.

0:12.3

Wrestling Soup. I'm Anthony Thomas. He's Kevin Castle. The last conversation that we had

0:17.5

was about the recourse of Iron Claw and seeing how, and you even mentioned it to me

0:23.5

right before the whole sickness thing dropped, but how the actual, the attendance went up,

0:29.9

the box office went up, and they actually started really gaining sales after that Christmas

0:33.6

season. And it was kind of nice to see that it's starting to get relative success.

0:56.2

And have you, have you heard anything more about it since that point? Yeah, I've actually seen it. And it's up to almost 30 million. They've made a $50 million profit. I went to see it last week. What did you think? I liked it. I mean, it was a spur of the moment thing because my friend is like, I'm down to go now. If you're down to go now, I'll pick you up, blah, blah, blah, you know,

0:55.8

it's like, because it's going to, I'm down to go now. If you're down to go now, I'll pick you up, blah, blah, blah.

1:07.2

You know, it's like, because it's going to leave the theaters. Like, we're getting to the point of like, you know, it's now or never. So I'm like, you know what? I was like, give me like, what's the time frame? I'm like, I'll be, I can be ready. and then I'll let's go.

1:07.7

Okay.

1:10.7

So I haven't been to the movies in a long time, by the way.

1:30.1

Last film I saw in theaters was the 2009 Friday the 13th remake. So how long ago was that? My friend got the tickets. So I didn't have much food items. I was a literal deer. What kind of theater did you go to? Did you go to? It was a regular. Just a regular theater. Okay. It wasn't like an IMAX or Dolby surround.

1:46.2

Not, but it was, it is interesting. Like when you don't go to something for a long time, something old is like new again. Like you've encountered in my thought process, I almost felt like I was going to see a Broadway play. I just even like sitting in the seats. I was even like, this is like familiar. Because I went to the movie so much as a kid.

2:02.1

It was a weekly thing you did in the late 70s and the 80s until there were other options when you turned 18. You know what I mean? It's a much difference. You know, and also with the cell phone silence and then the announcements of stuff, the modern technology side notes that weren't around when I went to the movies all the time. You didn't have to tell people with silent cell phones. Right. Don't do this or don't do

2:06.2

that. But I like, I already knew most about it. I didn't even shield myself from any, from the stuff

2:13.4

that you and my brother did to, I mean, so many reviews, Solo Monsters review, Conrad's review. I

2:18.2

checked everybody's review out, knew what to expect. There were little scenes that I didn't hear anybody talk about. I noticed, you know, what did it run? About two hours and 15 minutes, I guess. Yeah. I was playing out the inaccuracies of the time frames and carry riding the bike. Then all a sudden he's on crutches. They didn't really get into the, you know, that he hit a police car or they didn't talk about any of that kind of stuff and that was that time frame was way off by the time when he won the title and when the engine is let me set you up for this so you get to the theater with your friend first time you're going there in a long time did you start off with the refreshments or were you going into this focused on the film only?

2:51.2

Since it was so spur of the moment and I left my phone in my friend's car on purpose, I had a few things on my mind because I left off with some people calling me back later. And I was like, well, you know what, I'll leave my phone there. So I was kind of preoccupied. My friend owed me a favor. He took care of all the expense. I think he just wanted somebody to go with, you know.

3:07.6
