Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's Swiper's Day on Daybreak.
So welcome into Swiper's Day.
Here's how it's going to work.
I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.
Jamie and Brian are going to have to decide whether to stay on it and hear more or swipe on to the next one.
Parker, you get to break the tie if it comes to it, OK?
OK.
Really?
No foolin'?
I get to?
That's right.
Golly gee, Mr. Frank.
That's Wilkers.
Yippee!
All right, story number one, highly anticipated series already shakes up the cast.
I'm in.
I'll
stay.
Any guesses on the show?
Highly anticipated series.
No.
It hasn't aired yet.
No.
All right, so despite not having aired,
The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series has already recast the role of Jenny Weasley as they start production on season two.
Season two.
Is there a season
one?
Season one's done.
It's going to air on Christmas Day.
Oh, OK.
But they're already because, you know, you got these kids while they're young and season is a different book.
So they have to just continuously do the show.
So everyone's age appropriate.
All right.
So HBO released a statement on the matter saying due to unforeseen circumstances, Gracie, the actress has made the challenging decision to step away from her role as Ginny Weasley in the series after season one.
Now, if you're familiar with the Harry Potter series at all, the second book is where Ginny's story takes an extreme turn and she becomes a very important character throughout the whole series.
for this young actress to drop out before you hit that second season of the show is massive for her career.
So I hope everything's well with her.
Yeah.
And
it was a personal choice.
But I mean, if you're looking at Sardom, this is that's where you make it.
Is the second one prisoner of Vascaman.
It's the Chamber of Secrets Chamber of Vascaman will be season three of three.
Yeah, I always get the order confused.
All
right.
Well, that's interesting.
Moving on, Disney is under fire for PR stunt.
Oh,
I like it.
What could they
have done now?
The happiest place on earth?
I like it when the mouse gets in some trouble.
I'll stay.
Yeah, I'll stay too.
I got a little shite and fruit.
So the mouse is getting more and more scrutinized, but not for charging families and arm and a leg this time.
Instead, it's for catering to influencers and vloggers.
The bane of everybody's existence.
Yes.
So here's what happened.
Disney posted on their Instagram a video of park goers enjoying the smugglers run ride at Disneyland in the Star Wars area.
OK.
All of a sudden, the Mandalorian appears and takes his helmet off to reveal its actually Pedro Pascal to greet everybody.
OK.
Wow.
The whole room erupts in excitement, as one would.
I'd be pretty excited.
Sure.
Yeah, I'd like to see Pedro Pascal.
But the fix may be in.
What?
What?
Hardcore fans notice that the surprise group contain mostly of social media influencers and cosplayers.
One digital blogger wrote, biggest thank you to the team at Star Wars for making this happen.
Oh,
go see the Mandalorian on the big screen May 22nd.
Oh, boy.
So it
was a publicity
stunt.
Ooh.
And
of course, in this day and age, if you want to publicize something, you just get the biggest and the best influencers.
Influencers.
Yeah.
Well, and there's even like, if you look it up and go watch the video.
I can't.
And you see, like I saw a screenshot taken from it and the over the top excited faces
was that they don't
know how to
act.
What you're
saying.
Research words like.
Oh, my God, Pedro Pascal.
Is that the real Grogu Baby
Yoda?
I think I just made myself dizzy doing influencer face.
You looked good
though.
We're still working on your TikTok.
I was going to say, there's no
duck face in there yet.
I mean, you've got to do the duck lips.
No, that'll make you come back.
But yeah, everybody's pissed off at Disney yet again, just a different reason.
Wow.
Classic comedy film gets the green light for a new series.
Oh.
Are there no original ideas?
No, there's not.
There's not.
Not right
now.
For a series.
You know what?
I'm a TV addict.
I, yes, I'll stay.
It's like
this is Brian's
wheelhouse.
I'm shocked if he doesn't stay.
I'm staying.
Right.
I thought of you while writing this one.
So I think you'll agree with me.
There are some movies that are rites of passage for viewing, especially in the comedy sphere, right?
Correct.
One of those movies is young Frankenstein.
Frankenstein.
Frankenstein and they are getting a series now.
What?
Yes.
Very young Frankenstein is heading to FX as a TV series.
Wait, is that what it's called?
That is what it's called.
Very
stupid.
What?
That's just stupid.
What?
FX Entertainment president Nick Gradd said, very young Frankenstein blends inspiration from the fan favorite movie with the inventive irreverence spirit that is defined.
FX comedies over the years, making this a completely original take on the classic story.
Nothing
is original.
Is this the only Sheldon redo?
Basically.
But anyway, you may be excited to find out that Mel Brooks will be the executive producer.
That's why there's at least
that.
All right.
Yeah.
Well.
I don't know if he can save it, but at least he's involved.
What brain did I get?
Abnormal.
