[1:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah.
[1:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You me and Tuscany is my favorite line, too.
[1:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And Tuscany's favorite line, actually.
[1:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I asked this, I actually asked this city.
[1:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I pulled the city of Tuscany.
[1:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: What their favorite line was from the movie.
[1:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But sometimes you do that right after I've taken a sip of something.
[2:01] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I don't know your talking about.
[2:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I would say you said that was your favorite line.
[2:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I said you me and Tuscany because I guess actually It's an online poll.
[2:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I said what's your favorite line in the movie and then weirdly the whole city of Tuscany voted it is 36% the entire city.
[2:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah
[2:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And anyway, enough of this nonsense, guys, you know what this says?
[2:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We are a film review podcast.
[2:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We review the films of leading Black Actors.
[2:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We talk about them in the context of race and diversity.
[2:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And Hollywood, there are three of us who host this podcast.
[2:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The voice you're listening to right now is obviously the leading man of a room.
[2:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Bromtscom, Jonathan Braylock.
[2:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And then we have two other people here.
[2:39] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He definitely wanted that point.
[2:40] \[SPEAKER_03\]: You know what it is?
[2:41] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He is a leading.
[2:42] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He didn't want it.
[2:43] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He didn't want that dude to lead dirty.
[2:45] \[SPEAKER_03\]: That's who he is.
[2:46] \[SPEAKER_03\]: You know what I'm saying?
[2:46] \[SPEAKER_03\]: That's what that come in.
[2:48] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Yeah, you're still technically a lead role.
[2:49] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Do it directly.
[2:50] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Exactly.
[2:51] \[SPEAKER_03\]: That's what you got to get saved because he didn't came in then.
[2:53] \[SPEAKER_03\]: That's it.
[2:53] \[SPEAKER_03\]: They're all kinds of dirt.
[2:54] \[SPEAKER_02\]: They're technically single digits on the call sheet, but not.
[2:57] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Yeah.
[2:58] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Just dirty.
[3:00] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Um, this voice is that a drop.
[3:01] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Milligan.
[3:02] \[SPEAKER_02\]: And this voice is James III.
[3:04] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Who would get lost if I was, if I were in the country overseas, I would get lost immediately.
[3:12] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I would certainly leave without having all my plans in order.
[3:17] \[SPEAKER_02\]: And would probably, I just wouldn't sue after, after being in another country with no, with no set up.
[3:27] \[SPEAKER_02\]: But we have an incredible guest.

[5:50] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Oh, yes.
[5:51] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yes.
[5:51] \[SPEAKER_03\]: I think he has a little beef with them.
[5:56] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He left the show when they were trying to give him to come back out of this.
[5:59] \[SPEAKER_03\]: And it's been like, so I'm not sure where they land on it now.
[6:04] \[SPEAKER_03\]: But I do know it was a big deal when he left.
[6:07] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Um, the show and didn't come back for season two.
[6:10] \[SPEAKER_03\]: So I do know that.
[6:11] \[SPEAKER_03\]: I don't know.
[6:12] \[SPEAKER_03\]: That's why, but they still put it in the bonus.
[6:14] \[SPEAKER_03\]: So I don't know.
[6:16] \[SPEAKER_03\]: I don't know.
[6:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Reggien the finance man.
[6:20] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yep.
[6:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And some might say too pretty.
[6:24] \[SPEAKER_02\]: It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not us, it's not us on the podcast.
[6:31] \[SPEAKER_02\]: We'll say it.
[6:32] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Literally said no but two.
[6:35] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I don't know whatever.
[6:40] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is, you know, it made seven, it made 7.7 million dollars opening weekend.
[6:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Not the greatest.
[6:49] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But, how much did it make?
[6:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Seven, just seven, point seven, mill.
[6:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You came in fourth.
[6:58] \[SPEAKER_01\]: How much did it cost to make?
[7:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Only cost 18 million to make.
[7:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But, you know, it's got some work to do.
[7:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Got some work to do.
[7:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It was, you know, the Super Mario Galaxy was number one again in Project Hail Mary was number two.
[7:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And then the drama was number three holding on.
[7:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's actually not too bad.
[7:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Only a 39% drop for the drama.
[7:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There were a lot of us scary movies that came out this week.
[7:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And none of those did well.
[7:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So this did better than those.
[7:33] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Which ones?
[7:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Faces of death is good.
[7:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Exit was a case more like a thriller but I think it they for some reason they considered it a horror as well.
[7:45] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And then I think uh oh yeah this this weird the the the Gerard Butler movie a beast came out and do well at all right.
[7:56] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Oh right.
[7:59] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Uh that opened in a thousand theaters and it only made
[8:04] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Oh no, yeah, not great.
[8:10] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm so processing that this movie is at a loss right now.
[8:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, you know, it's tough.
[8:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Comedy's or, you know, I do think that this was advertised.
[8:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And I mean, we'll talk, we'll talk about it.
[8:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Cause right toados, no, not too bad.
[8:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: 67% tomato score, that's a bad score.
[8:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I mean, it's fresh, it's fresh.
[8:32] \[SPEAKER_02\]: What was the percentage?
[8:34] \[SPEAKER_02\]: 676767.
[8:35] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Yeah, it's a D. Okay, that is a D, actually.
[8:42] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I mean, it's technically a D, it's technically a D, but okay, but the popcorn meter, 94%.
[8:48] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, let's go away, look, people know.
[8:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Here's the thing.
[8:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I thought Will Packer directed this movie, but he didn't, he just produces, that's all he ever does.
[9:03] \[SPEAKER_03\]: he just produces.
[9:04] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He doesn't directs ever or anymore.
[9:08] \[SPEAKER_03\]: No, he never directed.
[9:10] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where
[9:40] \[SPEAKER_02\]: That wasn't him right.
[9:41] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Well, usually people direct and produce.
[9:46] \[SPEAKER_03\]: I mean, true, but then you might have, but then you may have like a Joel silver or like a Jerry Brockheimer, um, why they don't direct.
[9:52] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Yeah, yeah, I just produced it, but I just didn't realize that.
[9:55] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Yeah, because technically at the end of the day, Wow, he's done.
[9:59] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He is like the step above.
[10:01] \[SPEAKER_03\]: Don't mean this.
[10:02] \[SPEAKER_03\]: This is like the way, but I hope it's not just that it's about to be the most disrespectful.
[10:06] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He's a step above, Tyler Perry.
[10:08] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Like he's like, you're going to say that he's like the, no, that's like,
[10:15] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Wait, are you saying it?
[10:16] \[SPEAKER_02\]: What are you trying to break in?
[10:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You did so funny.
[10:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's like the way the way that it is offensive feels different for both of you.
[10:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Between things, and it's two different levels of offense.
[10:30] \[SPEAKER_03\]: I will say it is something, and I can't wait to talk about the experience, but also this movie has one of the best tag lines I've ever read.
[10:37] \[SPEAKER_03\]: She came for the pasta.
[10:39] \[SPEAKER_03\]: He got lost in the sauce.
[10:43] \[SPEAKER_02\]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
