I got to buy some pajamas, you know, you have to readjust a little bit.
Pajamas have got to be the world's funniest clothes.
Who designed them to look that way like a little tiny suit?
You notice a little collar buttoned down
and a breast pocket. There's a useful item.
Is anybody using the breast pocket on your pajamas?
What do you put a pen in there? You roll over in the middle of the night? You kill yourself.
Now, I also bought something that I had never in my life owned before.
You may not believe it's slippers. Never had them. Never had slippers.
I'm looking at these things. Basically, it seems like two kinds you can get.
You can get the slide in. These are like emergency slippers, I guess.
You can set these up by the side of the bed.
In case of a fire, hey, you're picking right up.
You know, you can really save time with those.
Or you can get these slippers which have backs, kind of like shoes.
Which, if you have pajamas, looks like a suit, this completes the effect.
Now you get yourself a flannel briefcase. You're all set.
This is all.
But I'm thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong.
But now I know she has a built-in ability to get what she sees.
And now it seems falling, falling for her. She sees the hat.
Get 708 at WRG and radio.
I have a very special guest. Earth Day is coming up tomorrow, Monday,
birthday. But we're going to do this on Saturday.
Janet Wiker is here from Racine Interfaith Coalition.
And you've got some special new ones tomorrow for Earth.
And it's going to be gorgeous sunny with a higher 48.
Yes, we've been praying for that.
Well, the Earth is taking care of you.
We're going to celebrate God's planet that he gave us and take care of.
Sometimes you don't take good care of it.
But at least we can bring some attention to it for Earth Day, April 2nd, 22nd.
And so what is the Racine Interfaith Coalition doing for Earth Day?
Well, we have a committee on the Rick, it's called Racine Interfaith Coalition.
And the committee is called Environmental Justice Task Force.
And that group, and I'm a member, is partnering with North Point United Methodist Church
and the Racine Dominican Ladotto C Committee.
And together we've worked on a plan to begin the first Racine food composting drop-off site.
It'll take place tomorrow afternoon at 1.30 at North Point United Methodist Church.
And where is that, by the way?
It's 38.25 Eerie Street.
Oftentimes we say, do you know where Piggly Wiggly is, the North Side town?
You know what? No, I know where you are.
It's right opposite that they're parking lot.
So at 1.30 we're going to have our compost crusader representative there.
Her name is Militia Tashin.
She's the founder and CEO of compost crusader.
And they are providing the bin and the collection service for us.
The way the program works, so far we have 41 households registered to participate in the program,
which means that they've paid a $25 fee to have their food waste collected at this site.
And any time that's convenient for them, 24-7, they can drop off their food waste in this bin.
And then every week during the summer, compost crusaders come and empties the big bin
and takes the food waste to Blue Ribbon Organics, which is a company right off of 94 and 7-mile road in Caledonia.
And they take the food waste and turn it into soil enriching compost.
So it's a win-win all the way around.
Food waste, a lot of times people, just because it's convenient, just take it and throw it in the trash.
And from the trash it goes into a landfill where it produces methane gas,
which is 28 times more toxic or potent than carbon dioxide,
in trapping heat into the atmosphere, which causes global warming.
So we not only save the heat from that gas and wasted energy,
but we end up making really soil enriching compost,
which people then purchase from compost crusaders and grow vegetables and great flowers.
So what a great...
Now, when you say food waste, you don't mean the packaging, it's just the pure food waste.
Just the food. When people register for the program, we give them a list of,
you know, there are some programs that will not take all food waste.
And they will say, we don't take dairy or meat or fish or bones.
And even if people do backyard composting... What's left after that?
Wow, you've got bread and candy and cheese and coffee grounds and meat and bones
and seafood and dairy products, eggshells, fruit, grains, jelly.
You take all that.
We take all of that. I should say, compost crusaders takes all of that.
And then we also provide a list of stuff that we don't take.
It has to be compostable. It has to be able to decompose and turn back into soil to be added.
So things that you couldn't add would be greasy paper.
You could put ordinary paper in. So when people collect their food,
they can put it in a bucket or a bucket lined with paper or newspaper or a brown paper bag.
Those, the brown paper bag and newspaper, that will be compostable.
But not anything plastic.
So, you know, even orange peels, banana peels, they come with those cute little labels on them.
Oh, I think the labels are.
You got to take those labels off because that just mucks up the composting process.
So, compost crusader takes it, brings it to blue ribbon organics and turns it into compost.
Is this the only time a year they do this or they do it year round?
We do it all year round.
So in summer, the pickup happens every week in winter because, you know,
you don't have to worry about decomposing so much or smell.
It happens every other week.
And people usually have fewer food waste in the winter than they do in the summer.
So if you're planning your garden and you need some composting for the garden,
you can pick up the composting and mix it in with your soil.
Exactly.
And we get some dates on here and some places going because people are saying,
I want to write this down.
If they want to pick up the composting, where do they do that?
All right.
Blue ribbon organics.
If they just Google that, you'll find the address.
It's quite easy to find.
It's right off of seven mile and 94.
And you just follow that little road.
It's not exactly well labeled.
But you can get it by the bag, 10 pound bags or an even better deal.
I have a truck and I go out and get a half a yard at a time.
And that's way less expensive.
You can get twice as much if you get it in bulk.
Some people go out there with their five gallon bucket or plastic bags.
And they will just fill them up for you and you can haul it home that way.
And compost your sater is how they have their headquarters in St. Francis on West Bolivar Avenue.
And people can also pick up compost there.
We haven't gotten the program advanced far enough that maybe into the future,
we could have a closer site right in the city where people could buy it.
But currently, if people want blue ribbon organics,
which means that all this stuff doesn't have chemicals, fertilizers or anything mixed in it.
And they do tons of this product.
And it's formulated and tested that it's really a correct balance for your garden.
And if you're starting a new garden and let's say a raised bed,
you don't just put compost in there.
You use compost and topsoil.
Blue ribbon organics also has that combination.
And you can buy that.
You know, my wife does has box gardens.
Yes.
And they build them with railroad ties.
Yes.
And she every year, she's growing her own vegetables.
And says, I'm not a huge vegetable leader.
She says, what do you want me to grow?
I'll grow whatever you want.
It's like a green peppers.
I like green peppers.
And she grows them and they're huge.
And they're really tasty.
And she does it all herself.
She's got screens around it to keep the wildlife away from it because they're waiting for the food too.
But we do throw away if something didn't turn out right.
We just give it to them.
Yeah.
The rabbits and the possums and the squirrels and the birds all like that kind of stuff.
And the vegetables that you grow yourself end up tasting way better than store bought.
Unless you go to a farmer's market and they're produced.
We do.
The roadside stands.
Yeah.
When they grow it themselves.
Yeah.
And you know, I'm not a gardener.
She is.
She's getting all her flowers ready now.
They're all little.
You know, they're going to grow light in the house because like you said, it was a little cold outside.
So she brought the man and we're growing them until it gets a little warmer outside.
But this is great.
So let's quick review here.
I want to talk about people can bring their food down when tomorrow.
Well, only if you're a registered member, you can bring it tomorrow.
That will be the introduction.
And also we were able to get a small grant to help us get this program started.
And so for the first 43 people that registered for the program and actually right now we got 41 people signed up.
Are getting a really quite handsome stainless steel compost caddy for their kitchen.
So that when you collect your food waste at home and let's say, well, I'm not going down to near that church for three or four days, you can collect it in this caddy.
And it's about a one and a half gallon caddy.
And even if you fill up that caddy before you make your next trick, you can dump it in a larger bucket and then dump empty it into the large 64 gallon bin that's in the parking lot at the United Methodist church.
Now if people want is the Facebook pay or the receipt.
Actually, the website is our I see recene.org is correct.
That's the information is on there.
Okay, good.
And you can get a copy of the registration form.
Or if you look, if you got on Facebook, if you look up zero waste recene, it's also.
I mean, zero waste recene on Facebook.
And this program planning for it really started seven years ago when we had a committee that was really concerned about the landfill.
We had city officials saying that oh, you know, there's only five or six years left to Kestrel Hawk landfill.
So how can we divert stuff from the landfill because we have to find a new spot to dump it?
Well, you know, that landfill closed a year ago in January.
So one fourth of what gets put into a landfill is really compostable material.
And 40% of that material comes from households.
So that's why this program is important.
If all our households would compost their food waste or else use the incinerator that would work.
Janet Wiker, our guest.
And of course, you can check out all the information at RIC Receive Interfaith Coalition.
RICReceeing.org.
Thank you.
Hang in there.
Okay.
Thank you, Janet.
Good luck tomorrow.
All right.
Thank you.
Hold on.
More coming up.
We're going to talk to Brett Hoffman on Marcus theaters.
My baby, he don't talk sweet.
He ain't got much to say.
But it loves, it loves, it loves me.
I know that it loves me anyway.
And maybe he don't press fire.
But I don't really mind.
Cause every time he pulls me down, I just want to cheer.
Let's hear from the boy.
Let's hear from the boy.
Let's hear from my baby.
You know you don't understand.
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo.
Please, my baby.
Brett and the movie.
That was foot loose.
I think.
Yeah.
Let's hear from the boy at 721 to WRJ and speaking about movies.
A little earlier today, because I got more to talk about Brett Hoffman for Marcus theaters is here.
Hey, Brett.
Hey there.
Okay.
So the reason we're here earlier is because you were, was it cinema comm or a show west?
What were you at last week?
It is called cinema con.
Cinema con.
This is where all the movie people go because you get all the low down and what's coming out next year at the movies and in the future.
And you were there.
You get the hop knob with the stars.
Did you, by the way, did you meet any stars?
You know, I didn't meet anyone directly this year.
There were plenty of them there.
I saw plenty of people.
Actually, I take that back.
I was at a little get together and I was a couple of feet from Jeff Goldblum and a couple of tools.
But I didn't personally meet me one this year.
But that's okay.
I got the low down as everything that was going on.
Wait a second.
You didn't go up to Jeff Goldblum and say, hey, I saw you in the fly.
You didn't say that?
I did not mention that too.
No.
Man, I would have done that.
He was around the busy when I was around him.
Any other stars you see there?
You know, there were a bunch of people announcing things.
I mean, there were a lot of directors there.
You know, Dwayne Johnson came and talked about Moana too.
Yes, exactly.
You would out of Taylor Joy talking to Chris Helmsworth talking about Fioriosa along with director George Miller.
So there was a slew of celebrities there.
I could go on and on and on.
If anyone reads about who is there, they're written there.
But for me, it was just amazing to watch and have optimism for all the great movies that are coming out in 2024.
Because as you said, this is a convention that's put on by the National Association of Theater Owners
and everyone involved in motion picture exhibition is there.
From theater owners and their key employees to movie studios and all the vendors that bring things to life,
everyone from the projection equipment, vendors to people that supply the concession materials.
So everyone's there and it's just a fun gathering of people.
But of course, the highlight is what's Hollywood going to bring us in 2024?
Before we talk about that, any improvements on popcorn coming out next year that we should know about?
I think that's something you can't improve upon, but there's always something.
I mean, there's always sprinkles, there's always new taste, there's always shakes.
But yeah, popcorn has been a staple that's just stayed the test of time.
I'll tell you that much.
Give us a lowdown, would you learn?
Well, there's a lot of things you learn.
I'll talk about some announcements and then we can go into John Rose.
But I think from the announcement standpoint, we had some new things coming up that might not even come out this year.
So Lionsgate came out and talked about the return of the Blair Witch,
which of course is a very popular horror movie that came out of Sundance and they're going to come up with another one.
Margot Robbie and her production company are involved with Lionsgate in a monopoly movie, which you would think about.
It's funny that they've never adapted that, but you'd think about monopoly and that's Margot Robbie involved in that.
And Paramount had just a slew of announcements that are coming out next year.
A new Star Trek Origin movie is coming out.
A GI Joe Transfamers crossover film.
Glenn Powell, who of course is in Top Gun Maverick and is a rising star.
He's going to star with director right in a remake of the movie Running Man.
And if anyone remembers this action movie, it starred Arnold Schwarzenegger quite some time ago.
It's written by Stephen King, but he wrote it as Richard Bachman.
So the Running Man is coming out and then another interesting one,
they're rebooting the naked gun series.
Original one was with Leslie Nios and a Priscilla Presley.
This time they're going to reboot the naked gun series, the comedy series that I love.
This time with Liam Deeson and Pamela Anderson.
So we'll see how the naked gun comes out.
And other news, Ridley Scott's directing a Bee Gees Biopic.
And that's from Paramount.
And remember Paramount just came out with a very successful Bob Marley One Love Biopic.
That was very successful.
And we'll see how to do the Bee Gees.
And Universal came out and said, five nights at Freddy's this fall was a smash hit based upon an adapted video game.
They're going to come up with a new one in 2025.
So when you look at some things that are coming out in the horizon,
those are some things that were coming out that I think people will see not this year, but next year.
But if you want my take on about five things that are going on that I'm most excited about for this coming year,
I'll rattle them down and Universal screened the fall guy.
This is a movie with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
It's a romantic comedy.
It's messed with an action movie.
I was in the audience and a lot of these things I can't tell you specific things about the footage I saw
because there's an embargo on that, but I can tell you this much.
It is a fun movie.
It is a great movie that people enjoy on date nights.
It's a great action movie as well.
It is a great crossover appeal.
And there's a 90% critics rating on this movie at Rotten Tomatoes.
If you go there right now, you can see what everyone's saying.
This is the fall guy and it comes out on May 3rd.
So May 3rd actually with premieres on May 2nd.
Remember, Hollywood starts their summer movie series early.
We here in the Midwest are a little bit colder than really may, but for Hollywood,
they start up their series in May and they're going to kick it off very strong with the fall guy.
So that's one I'm really looking forward to.
And then the other couple I'm looking forward to, Joker Folly Adoo.
And that's coming out in October 4th.
How do you say that?
I see that in print all the time.
I have no idea how to pronounce it.
How do you say it?
Let's see if I can butcher it.
Joker Folly Adoo.
Is that right?
Yes.
That's what I've got and that's probably butcher in my French there.
But the reason it's called that is because walking Phoenix as is teaming up again,
he's Arthur Fleck, who is the Joker.
And he's teaming up with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
And when you get to see some footage, when you get to see the first chairs,
you see that there's just chemistry behind them.
Of course, the first Joker did phenomenally.
I think this one of Lady Gaga's be great.
And there are a lot of rumors about this one is, is it a musical?
And the director came out and he told us, well, here's the deal.
It's not necessarily a musical, but music is a very, very essential element to this film.
So the footage we saw was tremendous.
If you saw the Joker a few years back, I can't imagine not going to enjoy this one.
And I think this is definitely the hit of fall.
So we're going to start off quarter four with Joker Folly Adoo.
Folly Adoo, very, very strongly.
The footage we saw was just excellent and just amazing.
Are we going to see it on Broadway as a musical?
I don't know if you'll see it, but who knows?
I mean, it looked that good.
And of course, we saw Lady Gaga and the star is born and wasn't she tremendous?
She was good in that film.
Unrecognizable because she had, she didn't have blonde hair.
But you were excellent in that.
What a great actress she is.
Yeah, I think this will definitely not be your last performance on screen.
But I think this will be a good one.
And just another breakout one.
I mean, I see awards for these two.
If the movie lives up to what I've seen so far.
Based upon that, I can't imagine.
I think people are going to be mesmerized by these two on screen.
Hold it right there.
We can have a quick break.
We're back with more from cinema content.
Bit my lip.
More from cinema content.
It was last week in Las Vegas.
And Brad Hoffman from Marcus theaters was there.
Here's our man on the scene.
And we'll find out what's opening this week in theaters too.
That's all coming up here at WRJN Radio.
I've gone rose.
And I want to thank him.
But you want to get here this morning.
It's going to have an increasing cloud cover today.
But becoming sunny and beautiful tomorrow.
Especially for that special day.
From the received interfaith coalition with food composting tomorrow.
sunny highs near 48 Sunday sunny with a hundred fifty six.
I never meant to be so bad to you.
One thing I said that I would never do.
I looked from you and I would fall from grace.
And I thought what this pie right from my face.
Do you remember where we used to dance?
And it's a dance of rose for circumstance.
Something that do another we were young.
And we were scraped together songs on song.
It was the heat of the moment.
7.35 WRJN.
We started a little early this morning with Brett Hoffman
from Marcus Thedders because he was at Cinemacon last week.
Getting all the low down on the movies.
The stars.
What's coming out.
The latest in concessions.
Everything to do with movies, movies, movies.
And by the way, I did learn.
I had this on this morning that Martin Scorsese wants to lead out
at the Capitol to play Frank Sinatra in a new biopic.
I think he uses Leo DiCaprio in every one of his movies.
Well, what a great go to.
And you can't go wrong, Daniel.
And back in the 70s and 80s and 90s,
he always used Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro.
Sure.
Now he uses Leo DiCaprio.
I guess when you find someone who knows how you think and feel,
you know, you want to hold on to them.
Okay.
And also, Quentin Tarantino was going to make a movie called
The Movie Critic.
It was going to be his tenth and final film.
He scrapped it.
Not going to happen.
So I don't know about that.
You know.
Yeah, we'll see.
There's been rumors about what that final film will be from Quentin.
I know it will be good, but we'll just let him do his thing.
And I'm sure he comes around to it.
We'll be surprised.
And it will be great.
So what else do we have from Sinatra?
Yeah, there's three more movies.
And I'll kind of go over some highlights.
One footage that we saw, which I will tell you is just tremendous,
wicked.
This movie is coming out during the Thanksgiving season.
And Wicked from Universal Pictures is directed by John Chu.
Here on a Grande Place, Galinda, then you have Alpha Baal,
who's played by Cynthia O'Revo, and Jeff Golden plays The Wizard of Oz.
Okay, this is a takeoff.
The Broadway musical Wicked, but it's its own experience.
When you see the first footage, when you take a look at this,
you will be mesmerized.
You will be mesmerized much like you were when you saw the first Harry Potter films.
That's the way I would describe it.
It is a fantasy film.
It takes you back to Oz.
It's an origin story.
And this one is going to be absolutely phenomenal.
Expect it to do tremendously well.
And everyone's going to be excited about seeing Wicked Part 2,
which is going to come out in 2025.
Why are they doing that?
Part 1 and Part 2, a year apart?
Well, I would tell you this much.
I believe this story is big enough.
And just this universe of Oz is big enough that it requires two parts to tell this story.
So I am very jazzed about this one.
Seeing some of the footage, seeing some of the extended looks,
it just looks tremendous.
So that was one of my, when I came out of this,
that's why I put it in my top five things to come out of Cinemacon.
And I love musicals.
I'm the biggest musical fan.
I saw the Broadway musical version of Wicked.
And it was just spectacular.
You saw it in Chicago.
And it was just spectacular.
So I can't wait for that.
I even liked the musical when it was out.
What's the kid with the arm and the cast?
Evan Hansen.
You're Evan Hansen.
I thought that was a great musical.
I just wish they had more musicals out there.
But now they do more Marvel movies.
What else do they have coming out?
All right.
Kevin Kaster is coming out with a concept,
which I am really excited about.
It's called Horizon American Saga.
You're going to see this summer, Horizon in American Saga Part 1,
being released on June 28th.
And at the end of the summer,
you're going to see Horizon in American Saga Part 2,
being released on August 16th.
They're doing that again.
So this is going to be great.
And it's looking to do four total movies in these.
The first two would be this year.
It's Kevin Kaster.
It's about the expansion of the American West
during that Civil War era,
during about 20 years that occurs before and after the Civil War.
And just you look at the breathtaking pictures
of the West, Kevin Kaster in a Western movie.
I don't think we can go wrong here.
And they're taking a bit of a risk,
giving us two of them.
But I think that's really neat.
People are consuming content kind of episodically
when they're looking at some of these things.
And I think this is going to be really neat
where they come out with Part 1 in the first part of the summer
in June.
And they pay it off at August.
So Kevin was there.
He talked about it.
This has been a passion project of his since the late 80s
and he's finally getting it done.
So I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin
and looking forward to seeing the kind of this Western movie
in American saga.
Come on.
I was at his restaurant in Deadwood, South Dakota.
Young's a restaurant out there.
His brother runs it.
But he owns the restaurant.
And in the restaurant,
it's all this memorabilia from his movies,
including the answer with wolves,
which was filmed not far from there in South Dakota.
And yeah, it's just, he's into Westerns.
Open range.
Remember that movie he made?
Open range?
It been in the several years ago.
I think it was co-starring in it.
I don't know if it was Robert Duval.
It was a great Western.
Of course, Yellowstone is big in that work show.
All right.
What else you got?
Well, and then another one I'll tell you about.
M. Night Shyamalan has come in back.
We know he always has twists in his movies.
The trailer itself is this movie Trap,
which is coming out in July.
This one is going to be really phenomenal.
Go check this out.
Actually, I'm sorry.
August 2nd is when it comes out.
The movie is Trap.
There's a twist in the actual trailer itself,
which could have been the twist for the actual movie.
But go check that out.
It's Trap.
It's Josh Hartnett.
It's about the police setting a trap for a serial killer
inside of a concert trying to get him.
But M. Night Shyamalan is directing this,
of course, so a lot of have a lot of twists.
And I would say otherwise, when you're looking at a theme,
we want to talk about animation and family movies.
So there's two sides of that.
There were presentations that cinematon specifically
about anime.
Japanese animation.
It is coming by storm.
People are enjoying this.
It used to be a small niche category.
Now we see sometimes these Japanese anime films
being released and being the number one movie
at the box office during the weekend.
So Crunchy World gave a presentation with a bunch of
their anime that's coming out.
We know there are a ton of other anime movies.
But check out these anime films when they come out.
Of course, in recent years, we've had things last year.
We had the boy, the heroine, which did well.
There's the popular Demon Slayer series.
There's the Popper Dragon Ball series.
Actually, this weekend,
you have a movie that's coming out that is going to be
Spy Family Code White, which we can talk about a little bit
in a little bit.
But these anime films are coming,
and they are doing very, very well.
It's a different style than typical animation,
but it's coming.
And of course, that segues into family
and anime and movies.
And it is going to be a big, big year.
Disney is really coming out strong.
They showed the first 30 minutes of Inside Out 2,
which is coming out in June.
That's going to be phenomenal.
The Dwayne Johnson was there, as we talked about,
introduced Mawana 2.
Mawana 2 in November is going to be for that phenomenal.
And then they also have a movie called Mufasa the Lion King,
which is another Lion King film that's coming out
during the Christmas season.
The Disney is coming out by storm.
You also have Universal coming out with this pickable Me Forward
during the July 4th weekend or the July 4th week.
You have Sony coming out with Garfield during Memorial Day weekend.
And Universal is putting on a movie called The Wild Robot
based upon a popular children's book.
When you look at what is coming out for family
and animated films this year,
you're going to see some big, big, big movies
and things that people will enjoy.
And I really can't forget the Paramount.
The final animated movie of the year is going to be
another Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which Jim Carey coming back.
And that has been a phenomenal video game release.
So when we look at all that and you look at CinemaCon,
tons of great content coming out,
including all the ones we talked about between Wicked
and American Saga, Joker, the Fall Guy,
and then you have all this great family product.
It is going to be a great year at the movies.
So stay tuned for everything that we've got coming up
because it's going to be a fun wild ride.
I love the name of that anime company Crunchyroll.
Yep, yep.
What a name.
And of course, if people don't know anime,
all the characters always look alike to get the big white eyes
with the same hair, black hair style,
but they got those big white eyes.
That's how you can tell Japanese anime.
And it's been around for years.
One of my favorites was spirited away.
Do you remember that film?
Yeah, it's one of those popular release.
Yeah, yeah.
I bought it on DVD because I loved it so much.
I saw it in the movies and I loved it so much.
It's my favorite one.
All right, so we have three.
Oh, is that it for cinema con?
Yeah, that's the first cinema con.
Let's get into the three movies.
We've got the great movies coming up this weekend.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, the first one that's coming out,
it is a World War II action movie directed by Guy Richie.
It stars Henry Cavill.
And this one's called The Ministry of Unginemently Warfare.
Like you said, Guy Richie directs Henry Cavill.
He stars as this actor in this war drama.
It's a highly skilled group of soldiers in the British military
that are trained to strike against German forces behind enemy lines
and World War II.
So great action movie, The Ministry of Unginemently Warfare.
If you've seen anything Guy Richie does, you know,
there's some great action and just some great,
just some great director involved in his movie.
I think it's produced by Jerry Brookheimer.
So you have like the top gun guy behind this film.
All right, what else we got?
All right, we have a horror movie called Abigail.
Another great one.
This is a vampire movie.
A group of criminals kidnapped the ballerina daughter
of a powerful underworld figure.
Literally, they know they kidnapped a vampire.
And obviously when they find out that happens,
bad things ensued for them.
So the movie is Abigail.
It is a horror movie.
It is a vampire horror movie.
And that's out this weekend.
And the third film is probably the most intriguing.
And we just talked about it.
It's called Spy Family, Cold White.
It's the anime or Japanese animation film.
And it's distributed by Crunchyroll.
Very interesting story.
And I saw about maybe 10 minutes of footage from this movie.
And it was very intrigued and it looks spectacular.
It's about a family where the father is a spy.
The mother is an assassin.
And they're all leaving Guy double lives
and pretending to be the perfect family.
So that's their cover.
Now, unbeknownst to them, they have an adopted daughter
who happens to be telepathic.
That knows all of their secrets as well.
So lots of things going on as they always do in these anime films.
But again, if you're looking for an anime film,
if you haven't seen this, this might be one to go check out.
It's Spy Family, Cold White.
The fans of anime are going to be coming out to see this one.
So check this one out if anime intrigues you
and it's something you want to go see.
But this picture that's coming out this weekend.
Now, you do have some older pictures.
I have the schedule because I copied it when I was in the theater.
I took a picture of it.
Of course, I'm not prepared as I usually am not prepared.
Hold on a second.
Somewhere.
You have a big standee in the lobby
and I took a giant picture.
I'm really good movies.
We just saw The Godfather.
And across from the hall,
the hall there was Gone with the Wind.
And two of the ones were...
It's not in a way.
It just took a picture of it.
What the heck did I do with it?
And you have dial-in from murder coming up on the big screen.
And you want...
Classic.
Which I can recite the dialogue for.
I just love watching it on the big screen.
That's a great movie.
But you have all these plays as well as the current hits.
Which is really good.
Yeah, if you go to Market...
Amanda, the movies tab.
There's something called Events Cinema.
And you'll be able to see different movies that are coming out.
And they're going to be so intriguing.
For a window.
We also have North by Northwest.
Coming out in May.
Yes.
Which is...
I would say, if you ask me what's my favorite Hitchcock film,
I would say it's a tie, but you...
It's in Rear Window.
So that one's coming out.
You look at Blaze and Sat.
That is, of course, it's 50th anniversary.
That one's coming out.
So that's a...
There will be a very unique release.
But that, as you mentioned, Rear Window is coming out in August.
So a lot...
Oh, wait a second.
My daughter's favorite movie growing up from the 80s.
The f***ing story is coming out in July.
Oh, she loved the f***ing never-ending story.
There was actually a hit song from that movie.
So we're...
So people want to see...
I'm saying.
Yeah, you can check out the complete list of the Events Cinema.
Go to Market Theater.
You tab and it's called Events Cinema.
You'll be able to see all these specialty movies.
We've got plenty of more things in just traditional releases.
We've got niche movies, but also very popular to bring back.
And maybe we're only coming back from some special events.
But go check that out because everything from...
And in some of the least ritual films to classic films,
it's all there.
And it's...
So the cinema is something for everyone.
And we do have something with...
And niche content and special events are people that come see.
And get your tickets early.
Knows into Gone with the Wind just to see what part of the movie they were at.
And she says every...
Gone with the Wind.
So they do go fast some of these films.
And...
Now, I know the dialogue from it, but just watching it again was fun with an audience.
And you hear people in the audience also not shouting for...
Watering...
Certain movies with...
What Michael says to...
You broke my heart, Fredo.
You broke my heart.
It gets theaters a great place to see a film.
I love the recliners.
I love the food.
I love the people.
Brett Hoffman, back again next Friday morning.
At his usual time, 730.
Appreciate it.
And thanks for filling us in on CinemaCon.
I love it.
Anytime.
We'll see you at the movies.
Okay, Michael.
Welcome to Sports here at W.R.J.
and Hope Town Radio.
Welcome to Media Station on a beautiful, gorgeous Friday morning.
We've been having fun all summer long.
Our sports guy, Mike Clemens on board right now, lives and breathes sports.
And he's sharing all his knowledge with us.
And good morning, Mike.
Good seeing you again.
Good talking to you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
All right, here's my trivia question for you this morning.
I just found this out the other day.
It was one of our fun facts.
Every baseball for the major leagues and minor leagues, the physical baseball itself,
is rubbed with mud from New Jersey before it's shipped out.
Every single one.
They don't explain why it was just a fun fact.
And I, do you know why?
I don't know why.
Well, they, you know, they want to rough them up a little bit.
But why did you get a new Jersey mud?
I have no idea.
That's fascinating.
We kind of find out.
I mean, you know, it's a, it's a rolling baseball.
And, you know, they sell them in the gift shop for like, you know, 25 bucks if you actually want to buy one.
I think they're actually, I think they're like made in Costa Rica.
I don't exactly know, you know, everything about how they're made.
But why New Jersey mud?
That's what I got to figure out.
Yeah, New Jersey mud.
Why?
I don't know.
Everyone, you know, because, you know, it's because the league office is in New York or...
I don't know.
But, you know, yeah.
But, see, like, of course, worked out of the US bank building when he was a commissioner all those years.
I just know one thing.
Do you know Mark Richards, the announcer?
Oh, yeah.
Good friends with him, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, Mark is the PA announcer at American Family Field.
And so, for like, the last five years or so.
He almost took a rolling to the forehead the other night.
Oh.
He came back and screaming.
And it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, many machata, I believe, was a guy to hit it from the visiting team at the time.
So yeah, he's got, now he has this little dent in the wall behind him with a date in time.
And who hit it?
Who is pitching?
Because it almost, he just, you know, he moved his head at the last second and avoided getting one right in the forehead.
When I used to go to Shay standing with my friends to see the meds play.
My mother used to say when I went, I went by myself with them when I was like 13 years old, 12 years old.
She said, pay attention.
Don't take their eyes off because we, where our seats were, a lot of foul balls were hit.
We was brought our mits with us, but she said, pay attention.
I think the reason baseball had to put up all that extra netting the ball parts.
Yeah.
It's because after people are looking down their cell phones rather than actually watching the game.
All right, we got the bucks hosting Indiana Sunday night.
Game one of the best of seven playoff series.
Yeah.
You know, the bucks played the Indiana Pacers five times.
They lost four of those games.
And many of those matchups were in sort of the first half of the season before Doc Rivers got here as the head coach.
And he said he was actually talking to Janus and Tedicupo about what were some of those games like.
What did they do?
What work?
What didn't work?
Janus will not be in the game.
He's got this calf injury that he suffered in that thriller when they came up with the win against the Celtics.
But, you know, the bucks are kind of limping in here.
I think they lost four or the last five games again or something like that.
And then Damien Lillard, you know, he's had a groin injury where he didn't practice so far this week.
I think he's going to be able to play, but we'll find out.
But yeah, they're going to, the bucks are going into this series.
A team that everybody thought would be for sure a contender.
They won a lot of games.
They've been 19 and 20, actually losing records since Doc Tacovars, the head coach.
But I think the pregame starts at 530 at WRJM.
530.
Right, pregame 530.
Yeah, and the tip off time at 6 o'clock.
And I'll be there covering the games Sunday night in Milwaukee.
I heard the song that news, the NBA banned the Raptors 24-year-olds as a John Tay Porter.
For Gamble, is it a lifetime ban?
Lifetime ban.
Yes, I heard about that.
Like Pete Rose.
Well, you know, there's like at least three different violations that they found on their investigation.
The one that's most curious is he was, you know, he was active on the Raptors.
And he goes into the game for a couple of minutes and just, you know, like they used to talk about, you know,
gambling and boxing, the guy's going to take a dive, pretend to get hit and go down.
He, you know, he intentionally didn't play well and screwed up the game.
On top of that, somehow they track down that he tipped off another guy who's either a bookie or a,
I love saying the word bookie.
Makes you feel like a gambler to say, hey, I'm going to go in there and take a dive tonight.
So, you know, you could bet that I won't score any points or something like that.
I mean, that, not when you're messing with the game.
It's one thing that they found that when he was down in the G league, which is like the minor leagues,
he was betting on NBA games.
I think he spent like, and he used somebody else's account to pull this off.
So, he must have people turn on him that he spent $76,000 and made a profit of $21,000.
So, that's one thing to be betting on the games.
But the next thing, though, is he could actually be participating in the game
and take a dive like that.
Boy, that really, that really ticked off at him.
So, yeah.
Yeah, it's like that.
Yeah, so that ABC world news just threw his whole career down the tubes.
Two players.
Yeah, he's got a brother who, you know, is on the nuggets that they're going in the playoffs.
And, you know, he's going to have to answer questions.
Hey, how about your little brother?
How's that go work about for you?
Yeah.
Two players leaving the Badgers men's basketball team.
Oh, okay.
What's going on?
AG Store was one of their best scores, a guard.
17 points went into the portal, and he got a bunch of offers, and he's going to Kansas,
and then a few hours after we learned that, and Shucky Heppard, a guy that Greg Gardett said
to really come on, you know, in January as a team leader.
He was really counting on him coming back.
He's about that he's going to transfer as well.
And they think that maybe what these guys, some of these guys you're doing is that
the money's better elsewhere.
This NIL money that, you know, college players can now get.
It's the NIL, it says for name, image, and likeness.
You know, it's funny.
I saw some of those guys on a Madison TV station that are, you know, able to take that money.
They were in TV commercials like for a car dealership, and another one for a restaurant,
Santa, and their Badgers gear.
But they're losing players sometimes because the money's better elsewhere.
All right, we got one minute left here, and some of the NFL draft coming up.
That's coming up in a week, and, you know, we think that maybe he needs to get
another safety, some other needs.
But it's been pointed out that he actually might need to get another offensive lineman,
even though they seem to be set toward the end of the year and who they had on the offensive line.
They want to make some moosen.
They just picked up a guy who's played for the Titans named Dillard.
But it's always interesting, you know, in the days leading up,
it's the packers will trade up.
What kind of a player were they picked, but they've got a lot of picks,
and they've been really good in the draft last couple of years.
So that starts Thursday night, the little after seven o'clock.
Yeah, it's time to watch the Kevin Costner movie Draft Day.
Remember that, Louis?
Oh, and that's, I think that's pretty good.
I think that's pretty good.
Yeah, of course, we're going to wrap up here.
We've got the brewers playing tonight against the cards.
I'm saying Louis 640 and then they're playing against Saturday and Sunday as well.
Mike Clemens, our sports guy, keeping an audience traveling all over America
for us here on Civic Media and WRJN Radio.
Thank you, Mike.
You can bet on it.
You can bet on it.
Wait a minute.
What did I say?
Don't say bet.
Check with your bookie.
Okay.
Bye, bye, Mike.
Okay.
I'll catch you Monday morning once again.
Six a.m. right and early here at WRJN.
I'm Don Rosen and Jury Weekend.
