On this week's episode of The Daily Wire's new podcast, Dallas Sanye and Brett Dasovic join host Ben Shapiro to discuss the latest events in the world of politics, culture, and entertainment. They discuss the Trudeau government's crackdown on journalists and the use of the Emergency Act, as well as the growing number of protests across the U.S. and around the world. They also discuss wokeness in movies, video games, and pop culture.
00:00:07.000The Freedom Convoy is being cleared out.
00:00:09.000Members of the press are being arrested.
00:00:11.000A live streamer, while streaming, was arrested, clearly not doing anything wrong.
00:00:16.000This is... It's obvious at this point it's an abuse of power.
00:00:19.000They were supposed to be debating the Emergency Act powers that Trudeau was going to be using, and they shut it down because apparently Trudeau decided, I'm going to use them anyway.
00:00:26.000Now there's video coming out, reports that a woman was trampled by a horse, members of the media being arrested.
00:00:31.000It's just, it's gone a little too far.
00:00:34.000But I do think y'all should be optimistic here because it shows the protests worked, they're working.
00:01:24.000I'm best known for Bone Tomahawk with Kurt Russell, Brawl in Cell Block 99 with Vince Vaughn, Dragged Across Concrete with Mel Gibson, and then I made a movie called Run Hide Fight.
00:01:38.000And even though it got a standing ovation in the Venice Film Festival, no one would buy it, right?
00:01:44.000executives at all of the distributors that I've worked with and made a lot of money for in the past.
00:01:49.000They've got kids in public schools. They've got mortgages.
00:01:52.000They didn't want to take the heat internally. So they passed on the movie and I was saying,
00:01:57.000what am I going to do? But I'd had a coffee with Ben Shapiro the year before. I called him up and the
00:02:11.000So this is fantastic stuff because, you know, with the escalation in the cultural conflict, building infrastructure is extremely important, but building culture is probably more important.
00:02:22.000So I think what The Daily Wire has been doing with picking up these movies and producing more is brilliant.
00:02:28.000And we'll get into all that stuff, so thanks for joining us.
00:02:30.000We're also being joined by Brett Dasovic of Pop Culture Crisis.
00:02:36.000I'm a refugee of my own sort out here, coming out here to work.
00:02:41.000What's weird about this to me is like, I don't think I ever imagined coming on here.
00:02:46.000Doing the show like doing it feels like I was telling Miracle earlier It's like kind of feels like I've elevated to the big leagues from the upstairs studio to the downstairs studio And we cover a lot of these topics.
00:02:59.000We try to keep it as open and perspective as possible But we're gonna get into a lot of that tonight.
00:03:03.000Yeah Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, we've we launched a couple other shows at TimCast.com, one of which is Pop Culture Crisis.
00:03:46.000I'm really glad you're here, man, because I've been thinking a lot about memetic warfare and fifth generational warfare.
00:03:51.000And I think that what's happening is that the message has become the communication.
00:03:54.000It's less about the ideas and more about the way we're communicating.
00:03:57.000And I think acting is a super important way to communicate and to get people on your side, basically.
00:04:05.000It's a good point as to why culture is so relevant, because we were talking about this the other day with Steven Marsh and Civil War stuff, but memetic warfare.
00:04:12.000Propaganda, information, and culture building.
00:04:36.000I think that what The Daily Wire is doing with movies is so important.
00:04:39.000I think it's pivotal to have movies that are interesting to people, and I love the idea of having this analysis of the culture going on as well, which I love what Pop Culture Crisis is doing, so I'm excited for this evening.

00:05:13.000We've got on-the-ground reporters, we've got field reporters.
00:05:16.000We are planning out sending someone to embed I say it in bad, but you know, drive along the U.S.
00:05:21.000convoy and track what's happening as they make their way across the United States.
00:05:24.000We're in the preliminary discussions about doing that, but it's all possible because you guys sign up as members.

00:05:48.000Let's get started talking about the big news out of Ottawa, what's happening with this crackdown.
00:05:54.000Daily Mail reports Trudeau's trucker crackdown begins.
00:05:56.000Hundreds of cops backed by armored vehicles and horses arrest at least 100 Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa and tow 21 big rigs using Emergencies Act power.
00:06:44.000But this seems to be absolutely overplayed and extreme for a bunch of, you know, middle-aged truckers and families with their kids and dogs in a bouncy castle.
00:06:53.000I understand people are like, well, sometimes there's confrontations.
00:07:00.000They should be coming in with, like, ten officers, peacefully, saying, look, guys, you know, you broke the law, we're gonna take you in, slap on the wrist.
00:07:07.000Instead, it is Trudeau fascism crackdown, freezing people's assets, trampling people with horses.
00:08:16.000And then when stuff like this breaks out, they don't know what to do, because it's this fake, you know, this platitude of kindness and peace, you guys.
00:08:22.000And it's this fascist, militant, you know, quasi-democracy.
00:08:26.000So now we're seeing the true colors of how, in America, we fight each other!
00:09:06.000And I think his perspective is really interesting.
00:09:07.000I think I disagree with him to a great deal, but he was basically saying, in the United States, there's two countries, a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic.
00:09:15.000And I was like, wow, that's an excellent way to point out what's happening.
00:09:19.000And of course, the United States is and always has been a constitutional republic.
00:09:22.000Therefore, the multicultural democracy he speaks of is supplanting our culture, our country, our society.
00:11:13.000Because I was living in New York and I kept slowly moving away because it just seemed to be getting worse and worse until we end up in West Virginia or, you know, this whole area.
00:12:08.000But for us down here, we see what's happening with the vaccine mandates.
00:12:12.000They're kind of being shattered or, you know, how bad it's been.
00:12:15.000Talk about multicultural democracy or whatever.
00:12:17.000But when you cannot get a redress of grievances, you're looking at a hard fall for your society.
00:12:23.000When you look at the dysfunction in Congress, when you look at the fact that it's being run by people like Nancy Pelosi, I'm just like, that is shattering.
00:12:31.000I'm gonna go and start setting up something somewhere else to get away from this.
00:12:35.000Because to put it simply, confidence in the system, be it Canada, be it the UK, be it the EU, be it the United States, it's fracturing.
00:12:42.000And so it's time to make sure, like we're shoring up our defenses, we're building something substantive on our own that we control, that's gonna be isolated from this, otherwise it shatters along with it.
00:12:51.000I hope that the freedom convoy thing, if nothing else, I really hope that it shatters people's normalcy bias.
00:12:56.000This understanding, this thinking that it can't happen here.
00:12:59.000Because trust me, I never thought I would see something like this in Canada.
00:13:03.000Canada is the nicest place in the world.
00:13:09.000Like literally watching them tonight, the videos going around Twitter of the mounted police, just literally walking over people.
00:13:17.000I want to give a good shout out to my conservative friends, who specifically—I'm not saying all conservatives—the ones who defended Ron DeSantis and Florida passing the anti-riot bill that would make it a felony to block roads.
00:13:33.000I said, no, you don't want to do that, because we want to tolerate some degree of unrest.
00:13:38.000Because now we see what happens in Canada, and we're going to be seeing what happens with the D.C.
00:13:44.000I think we should respect people who want to peacefully obstruct.
00:13:47.000It's annoying, but we tolerate a certain give to the system.
00:13:50.000You need that flexibility, otherwise, if it's too brittle, it shatters.
00:13:54.000But I also want to shout out a lot of these conservatives.
00:13:56.000Ezra Levant, I think it was, had a great tweet where he said he used to be back the blue.
00:14:00.000He would always give the cops the benefit of the doubt.
00:14:03.000Now he's seeing what they're doing to trampling old women and in front of children.
00:14:08.000And I'm like, I got to tell you, man, there are a lot of moderate, there are a lot of liberals who have been saying exactly this for some time.
00:14:16.000Now I get it, when you get Black Lives Matter, and often lying, lying to incite violence, the Michael Brown stuff was a lie, the Trayvon Martin stuff was a lie, Ahmaud Arbery stuff was a lie, George Floyd stuff was a lie, I get it.
00:14:27.000You're like, I'm not going to believe these people, and I totally agree, I'm not going to believe them either.
00:14:31.000But I'll tell you this, when I was in Ferguson, I saw police just lob a flashbang into a crowd of people unprovoked.
00:14:40.000And there's videos of things like this.
00:15:15.000Look, duly elected law enforcement seems to do a really great job.
00:15:18.000Sheriffs, you know, I, we have a great relationship with our cops out here, but these big city cops are basically part of that multicultural democracy establishment Democrat machine.
00:15:27.000They can, they can live however they want to live.
00:15:28.000I'm not going to, I'm not going to intervene when they try to defund those departments or now in Austin where they, they're arrest, they're indicting 19 officers and aggravated assault.
00:15:43.000I was thinking about this a lot too, because if we really hit like a bad place of civil war or like where all the power went out, you'd get roving bands of militants that are like really good at what they do.
00:15:54.000It's called, I don't know what you call it, but not imbalanced war.
00:16:40.000What I would say, I don't think the goal should be to try and infiltrate their systems.
00:16:47.000You know, for a long time, moderates, left-liberal libertarian types have been complaining about movies and video games getting woke and doing all this other stuff because they genuinely believed they were in the same system with these people.
00:17:01.000When I say to you, I don't like your video game because you did these things, it is because I believe genuinely we're working together as one society on a product.
00:17:11.000I think people need to realize they're not treating you that way and they don't care what you think and they're gonna do whatever they want.
00:17:16.000In which case, you don't want to isolate yourself.
00:17:19.000You want to make something better on your own and attract the people who are disillusioned by them to come and join you.
00:20:19.000By going with Ben, the movie found its best home.
00:20:25.000That also meant that some of the actors, I couldn't ask them to support the movie publicly beyond their comfort zone.
00:20:35.000And some of the actors supported the movie, some of the actors supported the movie sort of privately and quietly, and others just sort of tuned out.
00:20:45.000They're all becoming big stars right now, and they all kind of love it, right?
00:20:51.000They all kind of... because they knew.
00:20:53.000They were in Venice when we all saw a great movie.
00:21:37.000For a movie like Shudden, I don't know if these people are A-listers or celebrities worth millions of dollars, but they get paid probably substantially better than, say, a tradesman or someone working at Starbucks, I'd imagine.
00:21:50.000Even on shut-in, where we had the whole cast in advance understanding who we were making the movie with.
00:21:56.000I mean, we all went to dinner before the movie started shooting.
00:21:59.000There was still an element of, right before the movie started coming out and press time was upon us, people started to get hesitant, right?
00:22:11.000In one case, a publicist told one of the actors involved in one of our movies that we were queuing on, right?
00:22:22.000And that she would have been cancelled, this actress would have been cancelled right away.
00:23:10.000That's, you know, the fact that she was so outspoken the entire time, while on Mandalorian, and I'm following her on Twitter, and I'm just like, this is, you just gotta not worry, and be yourself, and stand up for what you believe in, and when they canceled her, she was just like, I'll find a way.
00:23:28.000And Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire were like, we're gonna make this work.
00:23:37.000So I believe that when someone like Gina has the guts to do what she did, you have to pray that there are people like me and Daily Wire ready to catch you.
00:23:51.000And that's not fully realized yet, right?
00:23:54.000It's not totally, the infrastructure is not all there yet.
00:23:58.000We're building ours, but there needs to be more.
00:24:00.000So Gina gets canceled on a Wednesday night at 10 p.m.
00:24:05.000I text Jeremy Boring, the CEO of Daily Wire, at 10.05.
00:24:11.000And he texts me right back, Ben and I were just texting about this.
00:24:15.000I said, dude, keep your phone on tomorrow morning.
00:28:49.000If my neighbor wants to go swimming with alligators, I'm gonna be like, I will advise against it, but far be it from me to tell you what risks you can't take.
00:28:57.000Now, we'll go over here and we'll make some good movies and have some fun and make jokes and not have to worry about being canceled every two seconds, and then I think 10 years from now, the work you're doing, the work Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire is doing, is planting a tree whose shade you will actually get to sit beneath, and so will your children.
00:29:18.000It's to create infrastructure and ecosystem for people who are willing to take risks and fight the system, knowing they can do that, get canceled, and come over here and work with us.
00:29:30.000It's also really important that we make great movies so that this is sustainable.
00:29:51.000It's like, it's going to take trailblazers in the writing, in the production part too, because like you said, like Gina walks away as an actor, those same people who have been told that they have to live within the Hollywood ecosystem are going to have to walk away and know and feel strongly enough about the work they create.
00:30:06.000That they believe that that script, that that show can stand on its own two legs no matter where it's put out.
00:30:12.000Not through the perceived legitimacy of Hollywood, but through any form of media that it can come out through, and the story is what elevates it.
00:30:20.000Not the deadlines, not the AV clubs in the establishment press media that make these things seem like they're better than they are.
00:31:19.000It's run like a real fortune whatever company a fortune you know however many numbers company and it's terrific and you walk in and you're you cannot believe the feeling of being surrounded by all of these people Who, you know, if they don't share your exact same values, they're civically aligned.
00:31:41.000They have the same goal, which is not to be the other side.
00:31:44.000Do you think there's a value at running it at a loss like selling on the moon for 99 cents a pop and taking like a 70% loss or something?
00:31:51.000Our version of that has been opening night YouTubes.
00:31:54.000So we play the movies on YouTube, one night only, for the first two hours.
00:34:00.000You have to not care that, like you said, the deadlines, the AV clubs, all these websites, the shill media sites are going to call it that, just like they label religious films, you know, the way they paint all religious films with the same brush.
00:34:12.000You know, there was a period where I cared.
00:34:15.000You know, maybe a few years ago, worried about mainstream press, their reactions.
00:34:20.000And like I was saying, it's because I felt like we were part of one system together.
00:34:36.000But, uh, I'm not interested in trying to convince people who hate me, and refuse to listen when I try to be nice to them.
00:34:42.000Yeah, I'm actually- When I've approached many of these people, be it on the ground in Portland, at protests, or on Facebook, and I'm nice to them, and their response is, I literally don't care what you have to say, F you, you fascist, I'm like, Okay then.
00:34:55.000Then I'm going to go do my thing over there.
00:35:05.000Like I said, 5-10 years, people are going to be knocking down the door, desperate to get a role with Daily Wire Productions, with your company.
00:35:34.000This means in LA, there's going to be writers, there's going to be production assistants, producers, smaller staff, APs, whatever, and they're going to say, I would rather move to Nashville, because I know there's a great opportunity with Daily Wire and the stuff they're producing, and it's freeing, but more importantly, The market opportunity.
00:36:01.000There's a real opportunity now with what you guys are doing over at Daily Wire and your productions.
00:36:06.000So why bother with trying to climb an ivory tower when you can go knock on the front door of people who said, we want to do great stuff and we want to make something new.
00:36:53.000And it just goes to show you what a movie star truly is.
00:36:57.000And so the modern day business savvy actors, writers, directors are going to start see the tides turning, see things shift, and they're going to see that Nashville is just as a As much of an opportunity for them as it would be to go straight to California.
00:37:12.000And you would hope that in there, there's going to be some script, a couple of scripts here and there that are going to be so good, and they're going to stand out so well, that it will be that initial cultural shift, that touchstone that pushes things to bring it back this way.
00:37:52.000And then also, I think we've become very inspirational to a younger generation of filmmakers.
00:37:59.000I have this rule, I answer every email.
00:38:01.000So send me an email, dallasatbonfirelegend.com, I will write you back.
00:38:06.000And, you know, I try to respond to every single email quickly.
00:38:10.000Sometimes it takes me a few days, but I want to encourage these filmmakers, these young people who understand culture at that generation better than I do, to create, create, create.
00:38:22.000And hopefully they can bring me the right project.
00:38:24.000I guess we need to start building tutorials on how to use sound equipment and lighting equipment.
00:38:33.000I was thinking about a Web Actors Guild like WAG or something where you could decide not to screw people over but also that you don't have to pay them $1,400 a day or whatever.
00:38:43.000The unions are sort of separated into the crew and then what we call above the line, actors, writers, and directors.
00:38:51.000Those three have their own guilds, SAG, WGA, DGA.
00:40:02.000In today's day and age where stunts make up such a huge percentage of the tentpole films that we see, and they get no recognition for it whatsoever.
00:40:39.000There was a year where a bunch of YouTubers with big followings showed up because their political commentary, cultural commentary, and they're shunned.
00:41:00.000They end up doing journalism panels with people who aren't journalists and have no followings.
00:41:05.000And so I'm just like, this is an industry insider game.
00:41:08.000If you're a friend of the people who run it, they'll claim you're a journalist and put you on a panel for which you have no expertise and have you talk to a bunch of people.
00:41:36.000It'd be cool if the crowd decides who gets to go speak at it, but then you gotta avoid popularity contests, so there's gonna be...
00:41:42.000There should be some sort of calculation.
00:41:44.000That doesn't work because you need... If the people all knew who, say, you were, then why would they need to see you go speak if they know who you are because they've heard you speak?
00:41:54.000The issue is, if we're doing a big event, it's to introduce people to experts in certain fields and certain industries to tell them about what's going on, here's what you should learn, here's the information I can give you.
00:42:07.000The problem with VidCon Is they have like, you know, they bring on this woman who has like a thousand Twitter followers who doesn't really work in journalism, and then they have her speak to an audience of people as an expert.
00:42:16.000I'm like, why don't you actually just reach out to people who are experts and invite them to come?
00:42:36.000Someone who's got proven skills, who's worked in the industry, will be invited to come speak and share their knowledge the way it used to be.
00:42:47.000You hit on it, though, because it used to be a situation where we were all in a respectful relationship with each other and the other sides, and that is gone.
00:44:29.000Sooner or later, Hollywood's gonna say, if people are finding opportunity with this other new emerging film industry, we're not going to be competitive if we put constraints on them that the Daily Wire guys don't.
00:44:43.000So if the issue is right now, Someone can choose to do a movie with you guys and your position is we'll always work with you.
00:45:16.000There's just constant complaining and this and that and everything was a problem.
00:45:21.000You know, I remember coming in to work one day after Trump was elected and half the office was crying, right?
00:45:30.000And I just, I thought to myself, oh my gosh, something like, I don't understand this, right?
00:45:35.000I don't even identify with this behavior.
00:45:38.000And so then, you know, it took me a little while to catch up to where I was supposed to be, which is, you know, my optimized version now, which is hopefully, you know, making movies with The Daily Wire for a decade plus.
00:45:50.000I'd love to, you know, I'm obviously considering moving to Nashville and being a really big, even a bigger part of it than I am now.
00:45:57.000But I'm having a blast and it's so important to do this now because I didn't grow up as a 13-year-old wanting to run, you know, produce independent movies that I'm producing now.
00:46:13.000I thought I was going to be running Paramount.
00:46:15.000I thought I was going to be the president of production of Paramount like my idol Robert Evans.
00:46:46.000Godzilla actor Bryan Cranston, well Bryan Cranston is well known for a lot of things, claims he has white blindness, says he needs to learn and change.
00:46:55.000In an interview with the LA Times to promote his upcoming role as Charles Nichols in the stage play Power of the Sail, he revealed he suffers from what he calls white blindness and advocated for limits on free speech.
00:48:53.000And I think you give him the opportunity and you give him a path to success, but I wonder how much of what people are chasing after is legacy.
00:49:00.000And so the issue is, these people who live in the cult genuinely believe that's the real world, and they view Actual America as a foreign entity and something to be feared or something not legitimate.
00:49:14.000Whereas, you know, the way we described it, especially yesterday talking about the Civil War with Stephen Marsh, there's a multicultural democracy in the United States and a constitutional republic.
00:49:24.000They're at war, they're at odds with each other.
00:49:26.000But the woke democracy is not the real mainstream America.
00:49:30.000It's something weird and new that emerged in the past 15 or 20 years.
00:49:33.000That's held in place by the media that promotes it daily.
00:49:36.000You don't realize that your average neighbor does not believe the stuff that you're watching on the news or that you're seeing in these television shows.
00:49:42.000The average neighbor across from you is a lot more reasonable than you would think, but these beliefs are held in place by the mainstream establishment press, which has your television, Holds a lot of weight in your house.
00:49:55.000The social media that your kids look at holds a lot of weight in your house.
00:49:59.000A lot of times when you talk about, when we talk about CNN, like you'll talk about the, we talk about, they, they rag on the ratings of CNN, right?
00:50:05.000It's like, it only got 800,000 views this, this episode, right?
00:50:08.000I'm like, yeah, but these views are parroted by celebrities.
00:50:11.000Each of who has hundreds of millions of followers and that pushes it outwards to the general public.
00:50:52.000You go to enough of those seminars they make you attend to if you work for the government, and I'm sure more than a few of them do end up starting to fall prey to it.
00:51:01.000Those are very prevalent in Hollywood.
00:52:48.000He had his tons of tweets that were really creepy, stuff we can't even talk about on here.
00:52:53.000And if you're part of the establishment, you get a pass, because what Disney did is they fired him, DC hired him, and then Disney quietly rehires him for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
00:53:03.000I wonder if it actually played out very, very favorably for him.
00:53:07.000I wonder if he was actually, quote-unquote, fired by Marvel.
00:53:10.000James Gunn, I think it was Mike Cernovich who pulled up these tweets to make a point about cancel culture.
00:53:14.000Because that was after Rosie O'Donnell.
00:54:16.000And I'm like, I actually thought they were gonna try and pull some like, it turns out, you know, this whole authoritarian worldview is the right idea, but they're the bad guys.
00:54:26.000And I was like, you know, gotta respect it.
00:54:29.000Create a movie where we've already, as a species, learned how to withdraw the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix the climate change thing to create graphene with it, and we're building new materials.
00:54:37.000But now we're competing with trees for the carbon dioxide, and it's a new problem.
00:54:43.000And the trees become sentient and mobile.
00:54:45.000But that way it'll implant in people's minds like, hey, it's not that big of a problem, by the way, climate change.
00:54:50.000We can fix the climate if we get proactive about it.
00:54:53.000Well, to get a little bit more broad... It is a big problem that we can fix.
00:54:57.000To get a little bit more broad on your point, this is the purpose of culture.
00:55:02.000Run Hyde Fight, for instance, was about like standing up in defiance, like, you know, fighting for what you believe in and saving people and things like that.
00:56:21.000And so then you understand that these things are a normal part of the world.
00:56:25.000So, and your, and your view about solutions towards climate change and stuff like that, making movies, showing possibilities, opens people's minds up to things they may have not considered before, which is why it's so important.
00:56:37.000If you seed culture only to the left, the woke, you're going to get movies like, man, have you seen the new craft?
00:57:01.000But if kids grew up watching that stuff, their brains are going to be all jumbled up and broken from this nonsense.
00:57:06.000One of the biggest producers in Hollywood was caught in an interview saying he didn't know any female directors, even though a female had just directed a movie for him.
00:57:17.000And so of course he got called out, semi-canceled for about 10 hours, and then back, and he was back, because he's such a big producer.
00:58:16.000A fire breaks out backstage at a theater and a clown runs on stage to begin to warn the audience of the fire and they all begin laughing.
00:58:23.000He then becomes more erratic and extreme.
00:58:26.000No, you need to understand, they all laugh even louder.
00:58:29.000And he says, I think this is how the world will end, with people believing it's a joke or something to that effect.
00:58:34.000And I wonder, you know, I think about that when I see this guy, he puts these female directors in play just because they're females, doesn't oversee them, the movies are abysmal and flop, and then everyone cheers for him.
00:58:44.000I wonder if what's actually happening is, the people in the audience know there's a fire.
00:58:48.000They don't care though, because they're all worried about being the one person to not clap while everyone else is clapping.
00:58:53.000One of the female writers on one of the two movies started to talk about this phenomenon on Twitter and quickly stopped.
00:59:30.000I was going to say the guy, the guy, the producer went further and created a deal with Amazon to make low, low budget, uh, horror movies where he could get his diversity quotient quotas met so that he could go back to making Halloween with a white male.
00:59:46.000Does he actually have quotas or is this a personal thing of his?
00:59:48.000It's a little, it's all, it's all, it's all, all, it's all part of the, it's all part of the unspoken rule of Hollywood that's now more spoken to be, to be frank.
00:59:57.000It's like the identity politics version of like Wes Craven saying he'd only do horror films so they'd let him make a classic love story.
01:00:56.000But there, I think it will be because they're letting Matt Reeves have run of his production, whereas every other Warner Brothers production they've done, they've interfered so heavily.
01:01:51.000My heart, like, leapt from my chest in that final scene, and I was just like, I gotta watch this movie again!
01:01:56.000Wow, it was amazing and and it was it was you know for what it was you say It's like taxi driver with the Joker storyline, but still it did Joker very very well as the Joker character Yep I would I would love to see them use that version of the Joker in in future iterations of DC films because that is an excellent Joker He would fit within the Matt Reeves version of those characters.
01:02:20.000I don't know if he would fit as well into the standard DCEU, given that it's far more whedonized.
01:03:12.000That makes so much sense about why Joker has a following in Gotham City, because Gotham's always been post-apocalyptic.
01:03:18.000It's basically the worst New York could become, and you can see that's a great observation.
01:03:22.000I actually like Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight visually, because I think it actually captures what Gotham is supposed to look like.
01:03:30.000Once it became The Dark Knight, and then The Dark Knight Rises, it just became New York and Chicago mixed together.
01:03:36.000Whereas there was a far more ethereal dark tone.
01:03:40.000Here's what really gets me with Joker is the people protesting the 1%.
01:03:45.000They're outraged, their lives are miserable, there's crime, and they're driven by ideology.
01:03:50.000So when I think of superheroes having to fight crazed masses, I'm like, I actually understand how you can't reason with far-left extremists on the ground smashing windows.
01:04:00.000They're blinded by hatred and zealotry.
01:04:02.000And as a superhero, you're sworn to protect them.
01:04:10.000He bashes their skulls in and leaves them rotting and shivering on the, you know, shaking on the ground.
01:04:13.000The guy stealing the loaf of bread in Batman.
01:04:15.000The meme of the... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:18.000But I'm thinking about how they would do the new Joker in a future Batman movie is the followers of the Joker are just ideologues who are like, you know, Bruce Wayne is corrupt.
01:04:41.000There's elements of, like, Court of Owls' story being brought into this, meaning that there's a lot of possibility that the Waynes end up being corrupt in the new interpretation of the film, which could lend itself to that even better.
01:05:08.000I think you know, I don't know about that weird stuff He's doing with those women or whatever as well as weird stories about him in Hollywood, but I fight club big fan Him as the Joker?
01:06:27.000I don't need it to be superhero-esque.
01:06:30.000I need it to be more like a standard thriller.
01:06:32.000The way they did Joker, if they went ultra realistic, like Joker doesn't have magic powers where he can rig a fairy up, but then you deal with the Batman or other superheroes struggling to deal with someone who's got such a large following.
01:06:47.000You don't know who is supporting him or where, you don't know what he's doing.
01:06:52.000And there's something to be said about people who don't know how to play a game and they're difficult to defeat.
01:06:56.000So if anyone plays poker, there's a certain difficulty in playing poker against someone who has no idea what they're doing.
01:07:02.000They make weird bets, you don't know if they're bluffing, and then they play 2-7 off-suit, and they hit a full house, and you're like... I saw the 2 and the 7 on the board, I thought they'd never play it, and they win!
01:07:12.000So having that erratic behavior of Joker would be a really interesting, you know, they could take that version.
01:07:17.000It'd be really interesting against a Bruce Wayne who's... Where he like, where Joker releases like a bioweapon and can blame it on the bat.
01:07:55.000He would have billionaire followers, like the far left.
01:07:59.000He'd have patrons who are ultra wealthy, and they would get word of how to support the Joker, and they would be like, yes, the system must be torn down.
01:08:07.000It's just a rich guy who's telling the Joker what to take down because then he can bet stocks against the company.
01:09:04.000Within different colored people, there's great diversity, but they don't want that.
01:09:08.000They want simultaneously someone who looks just like the person in the comic while also saying that you can have a black woman play like Anne Boleyn or something.
01:09:16.000My attitude is, honestly, I don't care who plays a character.
01:09:20.000Like when Idris Elba was, um... What's the guy's name in Marvel?
01:09:32.000And people are complaining because it's clearly based on Norse mythology and he's not exactly as pale as the other ones.
01:09:41.000I'm one of those people that I don't have a problem with the race swapping as much as other people, especially if I don't have a strong connection to the source material.
01:10:45.000I mean, this is a pretty new phenomenon in Hollywood.
01:10:49.000And so you go back in time and you see movies from 10 years ago when someone did something like this and now they're getting sort of canceled for it.
01:12:33.000With queer biological parents and Afro-Boriqua adoptive parents.
01:12:37.000I do not know who this variant in Doctor Strange is supposed to be, but it's not the character whose stories I've been reading for a decade.
01:12:42.000Okay, so when people complain that Heimdall was played by a black character, I would like to see you say the same thing.
01:12:48.000Now, me personally, I don't care that Heimdall was played by- I think Idris Elba's fantastic.
01:12:52.000They talked about- many people were like, Idris Elba should play James Bond.
01:12:56.000I'm like, he'd actually be a really great James Bond.
01:14:12.000There's a tweet up there where they said these actors need to be better about not accepting roles.
01:14:17.000They're telling you that you need to look at this and say this opportunity could feed my family or in her age like just could set me up through college and I need to pass on that because of ideological reasons.
01:14:27.000Do you remember when just recently Peter Dinklage came out and said, They're making Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
01:14:32.000I mean, really think about what that means.
01:14:35.000And then a whole bunch of actors, little people actors, came out and they were like, You're taking our jobs from us!
01:16:13.000Is Lord of the Rings cancelled because dwarves does not reference little people.
01:16:17.000It's a reference to magical creatures like elves.
01:16:20.000Are we going to complain about elves being too tall?
01:16:22.000There's dwarf with a big D, which is fine, but it's the little D dwarves that you can't say because that's... Yeah, Lord of the Rings is grandfathered in.
01:16:30.000If it was a brand new project, no way.
01:16:57.000She was given the role of a queer woman of color who's wearing an LGBTQ pin, and now she is being attacked for it.
01:17:04.000You know what the ramifications of this will be?
01:17:06.000No one will ever want to play a character that represents a marginalized group because it'll damage their career, like Scarlett Johansson, like Sochiel Gomez.
01:17:33.000There was a lot of talk about Javier Bardem playing Desi Arnaz.
01:17:37.000And there is this amazing article in The Hollywood Reporter where Aaron Sorkin talks about all of the different folks, the diversity coordinators that he brought on to set so that He could get away with casting Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz.
01:17:58.000Do you remember what they did to, you mentioned Gina Carano earlier, when she got fired from Disney, but before they fired her, they tried to have her do a 40-person struggle session with members of the LGBTQ community on a Zoom call.
01:18:37.000You know, often one of the things I bring up with this You know, you mentioned people crying about Donald Trump winning the election and you're like, what is what is this?
01:18:46.000I'm like, well, look, if if you've never been in the sun, you'll get sunburned.
01:18:51.000So these people are soft little, you know, blobs of pink jello.
01:18:56.000And then some other people have dealt with hardship.
01:18:59.000Someone like Gina Carano, who's trained and fought and had to deal with injuries and getting punched in the face, is going to shrug off The stupidity of words.
01:19:08.000Someone who's grown up in a pastel safe room with padded walls and beanbags all their lives will step outside, quivering and shaking, and then when someone says a naughty word, they'll go, I'm being attacked!
01:19:42.000MMA and the military are both like that.
01:19:43.000If you like, when all this stuff happened with Joe Rogan, the amount of MMA fighters that came out in support of him, because they understand, they understand that you cannot just let these people bully you.
01:19:51.000Well, it's like when you get punched in the face, you kind of realize some things don't matter all that much.
01:19:56.000You know, when you've dealt with real hardship.
01:19:58.000And if Gina hadn't done what she did, then there would be 10 other people who came after her and showed courage that never would have been able to do it had she not had the courage in that moment.
01:20:09.000And it was the way you encouraged her to do it right away.
01:20:12.000That Daily Wire interview was like three days later, right?
01:20:15.000It was about a week later, but it was as fast as we could do it.
01:20:19.000But the announcement of the movie Came literally within 72 hours or even less, 36 hours even.
01:20:26.000And, uh, you know, it's, it, we, we, we tend, Gina and I talk a lot, a lot about being the flak jacket, right?
01:20:33.000Walking out there, coming on shows like this, talking about our, our careers, what we've been through and taking the bullets and showing courage in many ways.
01:20:43.000I'm not saying I'm courageous, but I'm saying it in order to give other people courage.
01:20:49.000to come out and come work with us and let their American flag fly.
01:20:54.000That's why I think humility is so important, because if you can embarrass yourself in front of people, that's courage, man.
01:20:59.000I want to bring up this story just because it's in the realm of cancel culture and it's hilarious.
01:21:03.000So we have this once again from Bounding into Comics.
01:21:05.000Pro Tekken player Tanakana dropped from esports team after saying short men don't have human rights.
01:21:12.000Saying, um, men under 170 centimeters in height don't deserve human rights, according to a report from Japanese news outlet Jcast.
01:21:20.000During a stream on February 15th, Tanakana declared that men who are under 170 centimeters, just over 5 foot 5, don't have human rights, adding they should have bone lengthening surgery to compensate for their lack of height.
01:21:32.000I do think there are a lot of people who are deeply offended by that, but I think it's... I hope she's joking, because if it is, it's actually a funny joke.
01:21:41.000But now she's cancelled for saying it, right?
01:21:43.000As a 5'5'' individual, I'd just like to say that I'm extremely offended by this, and I think that her cancellation is exactly... She got exactly what she deserved.
01:21:53.000And I am not getting bone lengthening surgery unless the government offers to pay for it.
01:21:58.000As a 6'4 individual, I do not identify with your problems.
01:22:02.000You can't understand my lived experience.
01:22:11.000See, I don't know when I'm going to finally get my due in the social hierarchy of identity politics, but I think being short means I'm not at the exact bottom as a straight white male, but I'm getting a little bit closer to the top by being under 5'6".
01:22:23.000Now, I will say, I think the issue is she was kind of joking, but in a more serious way.
01:22:28.000Like, it's one thing if the point of the joke is that you're mocking, like, there's the stories about Tinder where if a guy's list of height is under six feet, they never get responses.
01:22:37.000If you're mocking those people by saying it, and we know you're mocking the idea, it's a funny joke.
01:22:42.000But if she's actually saying, like, jokingly, she does think they deserve human rights, but she's insulting about it, that's kind of a dick move.
01:23:01.000Like it just comes out as like a goofy little kid thing, but I don't know.
01:23:05.000She's basically saying that a guy went to deliver her food and he like muttered and mumbled in front of her house, rang the doorbell, then asked her for her number.
01:23:12.000And she said, you know, she was scared because he knows where I live.
01:23:35.000Now, mind you, she's gotten the boot, right?
01:23:38.000So, hey, at least there's some consistency there.
01:23:40.000Because I would say, if there was a dude and he was saying that, like, a woman delivered his food and she was morbidly obese and, you know, she asked him for his number and he was like, oh, get out of here.
01:25:02.000The things he's posted and tweeted about, he's like a creepy guy.
01:25:06.000I wouldn't have posted anything that any one of them have posted, but the truth is, like, I kind of am a First Amendment absolutist, right?
01:26:15.000Maybe it's independent versus codependent is another way to look at it.
01:26:18.000For me, I'm kind of like, you know, if I was working in an industry, in fact, this literally happened and they were doing things I didn't like, I'd be like, I won't do it.
01:26:25.000You know, when I worked for Fusion, they hire me on and they say, we're going to be nice vice.
01:26:30.000We want to be edgy on the ground, do reporting, but we're not going to be as crass and crude and overt with like sex drugs and rock and roll.
01:26:36.000And I'm like, yeah, Yeah, I totally get it.
01:26:37.000Like, we can get that on-the-ground adventurous vibe, that, like, cool hip feeling, you know, whatever, trying to get, while still being family-friendly.
01:27:00.000I would much rather sit in my living room playing video games and fall asleep than deal with whatever it is you think you can offer me.
01:27:06.000So maybe that's just like anti-social or whatever.
01:27:08.000I don't rely on them for my confidence or my self-esteem.
01:27:13.000But I think a big difference between, you know, the two overarching political factions are people who are desperate for recognition and desperate for, you know, they want people to think good things about them.
01:27:25.000And then there are people who are just like, yeah, I literally don't care what you think.
01:27:28.000I'm going to live my life and be true to myself.
01:27:30.000In 07, I was doing Hollywood acting and YouTube, and I started to get, I was like, what you were saying, I was seeking the attention I wanted.
01:27:35.000I was like, when I win an Oscar, I'm going to thank my geometry teacher from the 10th grade.
01:29:09.000No, we're going to get a field in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia, and we're going to build our own building.
01:29:13.000And we're going to build our own thing out here.
01:29:15.000Cause I'm, you know, there's also people go to Nashville.
01:29:17.000I certainly think Nashville is a way better bet than Austin, but even then I look at it and I'm just like, I'd be really happy just having my own little free domestan that we can start up and we can build on our own.
01:29:26.000Cause I'm not dependent upon anyone else for what we seek to create.
01:31:32.000Imagine like what we're doing here like I go through the news like I try to focus more in stream like just just on entertainment right so Less about the politics of it all like we do cover it like you said the other night said politics Politics our pop culture.
01:31:51.000So we try to cover the more ridiculous stories I leave out a lot of the time because I'm like, I don't need to make fun of this story or talk about this story.
01:32:13.000Everything going on within the industry.
01:32:15.000Bounding into comics, all the stuff on there.
01:32:17.000Uh, we get everything from there and it's just, it's a lot of fun.
01:32:20.000We have... I think, you know, we approach stuff from a political perspective and sometimes drift into pop culture and then you guys start from a pop culture perspective and sometimes drift into, like, cultural politics.
01:32:35.000You feel to the point where you're getting too far into it and you're like, The average person isn't going, you know, the normie, the person who doesn't understand that there is a culture war going on, isn't really going to be enamored with the harder line political takes that I might have on these things.
01:32:50.000So I try to draw attention to them and bring them up in a way that shares my perspective, but doesn't bludgeon you over the head with what my beliefs are.
01:32:58.000I don't think that's the importance of it.
01:33:00.000I'm more likely to call out the stupidity of projects.
01:33:03.000My new segment, it's called, Who the Hell Asked for This?
01:33:07.000They're making a Blue's Clues movie, and they said it's gonna be like Spider-Man No Way Home.
01:33:11.000I do ask, who the hell asked for this?
01:35:18.000I was up in Montreal during student protests, and I see the cops were throwing... They have these things, I forgot what they're called, but they're like flashbangs with pepper spray in them.
01:35:26.000So they bang, and then the whole area, like, stings.
01:35:29.000It was a really... I've never seen something like that before.
01:36:29.000He goes down there and he live streams all of this.
01:36:31.000And I'm like, I think that's an accurate or fair representation for the most part.
01:36:35.000There's probably some nuances and things you don't see.
01:36:37.000But a dude that I know and like telling me live, walking around, is infinitely more trustworthy than the Toronto Sun or whatever saying it's a bunch of white supremacists who are stealing food from the homeless.
01:36:52.000And it doesn't even have to be just that bad, it's the stuff where they call it anti-vaxxer protests rather than just saying that it's about mandates.
01:37:00.000Which is a much simpler, it slips by people, they don't realize, so the average person who doesn't have a political bias here just says, look at these crazy anti-science people who are protesting science!
01:38:02.000Paladin says, Hey, Dallas, any updates you can share on Breakfast with the Dirt Cult?
01:38:07.000So there's this great book written by this guy in Oklahoma named Samuel Finlay.
01:38:14.000And it's this amazing, amazing story of the first insurgency into Afghanistan, you know, go on 15 years ago.
01:38:23.000And I have shown interest in getting it made, and there is this wild, rabid contingency online that shows up anywhere I go and asks, what's the latest with this movie?
01:38:35.000The truth is, I want to make it really, really badly.
01:39:11.000And I think a lot of people should definitely check out yesterday's episode where we had a conversation with Stephen Marsh on the next Civil War.
01:39:17.000He has what I would describe as an establishment worldview, so there were some arguments, but I think the conversation was absolutely worth listening to, especially if you want to hear opinions you'll disagree with.
01:39:29.000It wasn't really a news-driven story as we often do with like, you know, a lead story.
01:39:33.000It was more of a conversation with someone we disagree with about a lot of things.
01:39:37.000And people certainly in the Super Chats had their opinions.
01:39:40.000It was an example that it's not so much about trying to convince people of information, more that just that you are able to communicate with people that have different types of information.
01:39:48.000I think it was both of us recognizing from different points of view that this is inevitable.
01:39:53.000that uh you know the point i made to him when he said when when will americans realize this conflict is tearing you guys apart and it's going to lead something worse and then i said you're he's from canada and i was like you like your socialized medicine okay we'll abolish that canada will go full private health care do we have peace and he was like i see your point Like, our worldview is very much freedom, meritocracy.
01:40:15.000We're not going to give up civil rights and freedom to people who want to take it away.
01:40:40.000A Black Lives Matter activist was arrested for attempting to assassinate a Jewish Democrat about a week after he posted Black nationalist anti-Semitic, uh, you know, support for this organization.
01:42:45.000Strangely, you know, we're only reacting at this point to most of the stuff being written out of Hollywood.
01:42:50.000So, you know, our first three movies with The Daily Wire are female leads fighting back Um, but that's also because they're cool, you know?
01:42:59.000Um, in, in terms of John Milius, uh, his daughter, Amanda, who's been on your show, uh, is someone, as someone I am desperate to get into the director's chair, uh, a bugger all the time.
01:43:10.000So we'll, we'll, we'll fit, we'll get this going.
01:43:13.000Oh, we're going to say, well, I was going to say the last thing is, uh, uh, masculinity because you know, the great Breitbart said, Oh, Matt.
01:43:30.000I thought and, and, but no, no, but and feminine energy.
01:43:34.000In fact, I think feminine energy is missing more than masculine energy.
01:43:40.000Dude, we just covered this the other day, because Hannah Clare, she said, why is everything reboots and why are they all female-led reboots?
01:43:46.000And we went and I found a feminist article of what, you know, it's like, where can I find a take on this that you wouldn't think is the typical take?
01:43:53.000And it's talking about how they're not telling female stories.
01:43:56.000They're telling male stories with female characters.
01:43:59.000Uh, so they're essentially erasing the female experience from these, uh, in the new Terminator movie.
01:44:05.000She denigrates motherhood and turns it on its head and says, uh, having kids is basically bad.
01:44:11.000That everything about femininity, motherhood, uh, the ability, uh, what it means to be a woman in modern age is denigrated in Hollywood in favor of telling much easier, simpler, masculine stories and just inserting females there.
01:44:24.000And it's, it's why it always comes off as inauthentic.
01:44:30.000Charlize Theron was basically the lead and she was powerful and almost exuded the masculine energy except Max was insane but still you could see his humanity and throughout the movie you see the man come back and it's like the power of the woman to help the man become masculine was just such a good, good dichotomy.
01:46:51.000But in terms of actually getting femininity right, I think the issue is, Hollywood keeps saying, we're going to make a strong female character.
01:48:24.000And that dude is allowed to be both hyper-masculine, extremely smart, he even gets the woman in the show, which is almost like a no-no in today's day and age.
01:48:33.000And the woman kid the female character is both strong, but also allowed to be feminine
01:48:39.000And act she protects the children later on at the end of the show
01:48:43.000It's it almost is the per in current year as close to perfect as you can get I do that type of character
01:48:49.000I thought the show was fantastic. Does the guy have a flaw?
01:48:52.000You got to give a gigantic flaw to the hero if you want to be super powerful
01:49:48.000It's, it's, he's more interested in, in, in slight, in, in retribution than he is in solving the case.
01:49:54.000He even, like there's early on in the show, he shoots two dudes in the back and she's like, these are exit wounds in the front.
01:50:00.000And he's like, they would have killed me.
01:50:02.000Oh, well, like it's very morally gray.
01:50:04.000But the best part about the characters, in fact, he is almost Sherlock Holmes-ish in the way he describes when he solves a crime.
01:50:12.000That character in modern day, at his size, and this dude is enormous, Alan Richson, is either going to be allowed to be hyper-masculine Big, hyper-masculine, or he's gonna allow to be smart.
01:50:37.000I don't know if you'd consider that a flaw, but he definitely has, like, attachment issues, and it's played as, like, a part of his character to be very much separate from society.
01:50:45.000He's traveling his own road, and that plays a part of the character.
01:50:49.000I don't know if it's necessarily a flaw, but it's definitely an element of who he is.
01:51:06.000I would say a silent movie in many ways, you know, I made Bone Tomahawk and it had, I think, two minutes of score, right?
01:51:14.000And most of the time people weren't talking or, or, or in some of the scenes it was very quiet.
01:51:19.000So that, that's, that's a, that's a version of how far it could go.
01:51:23.000Um, I would say that a silent movie could work if it was experimental and you found some way for it to still be appealing to a commercial audience in a modern era.
01:51:33.000There's, there's two really simple answers.
01:51:35.000I mean, um, we had, we just had that movie.
01:51:37.000I thought it was terrible where you can't make a sound.
01:51:39.000What is it with the quiet place, quiet place, which was very little dialogue.
01:52:25.000It's physically and it's like mentally painful for you to be in a room with no sound.
01:52:30.000And I'll tell you this, I've been in soundproof rooms.
01:52:33.000We have a sound booth where like all the sound absorbing stuff on the wall.
01:52:36.000I've built soundproof rooms for recording.
01:52:39.000I cannot stand sitting in soundproof rooms.
01:52:41.000Because what happens is, what you don't realize, one thing that really becomes apparent, when you talk in a room, You don't realize you are hearing an echo because the sound bounces off the walls.
01:52:51.000When you go into a fully soundproof room, it's a weird feeling.
01:52:55.000You'll talk and then the sound erases the moment.
01:54:19.000And James Gunn, he's designed for James Gunn's style of writing, which blends very heartfelt, meaningful moments with really crude and over-the-top humor.
01:54:30.000And he blends it together so perfectly that John Cena was the absolute perfect casting.
01:54:34.000I think the Fast and Furious cinematic universe is the best cinematic universe.
01:54:39.000And John Cena in the latest film, I was kind of like, you know, take it or leave him.
01:55:41.000So he's like, I cherish peace with all my heart and I don't care how many men, women, and children I have to kill to get it.
01:55:47.000That's right, and I love when he's with Vigilante and they're talking about how they have to kill, how they used to kill people, and it's like, sometimes you gotta kill the murderer or, you know, graffiti artists.
01:56:01.000All the characters in the show are insanely over-the-top bad, and that's the best part of it, except for Adebayo, who plays basically the straight man to the rest of the characters.
01:56:10.000She's looking at all these people and she's like, what the hell is going on?
01:56:28.000I know you do live action, but any way to reach out to you or your studio, even if only for advice?
01:56:33.000I would say absolutely reach out to me.
01:56:36.000The Daily Wire is so pumped about doing animation, right?
01:56:41.000They've got a couple of projects in the works, a lot of conversation, a lot of financial resources being put forth to this, so please reach out to me.
01:58:07.000You know, animation is a new space for all of us.
01:58:10.000We've been live action guys for so long, but it's an important space, especially because it can be comedic.
01:58:17.000It can be for younger audiences, all kinds of stuff.
01:58:19.000And it tends to get less scrutiny from the mainstream.
01:58:22.000Like, I've noticed... We can get away with more.
01:58:25.000DC animated movies are always far superior to DC live-action movies because they don't have to take as many liberties with the source material.
01:58:35.000They can stay true to what the actual story was supposed to be.
01:58:38.000Because of the reduced scrutiny, they're allowed to create what they want.
01:58:44.000Constantine is an incredible character, and the Constantine film, I liked it, but they missed so much.
01:58:52.000Constantine in the Justice League Dark films, as a character in the comics, is awesome.
01:58:58.000The Keanu Reeves version is not nearly as awesome.
01:59:00.000Now, as its own universe, I thought it was a great movie, but it's just not Constantine.
01:59:06.000Matt Ryan does the live action role well on TV, but they wouldn't cast a TV actor to play that in a film at this point.
01:59:41.000I will say this out loud so we can start to manifest it, but how crazy would Hollywood go if Tim Pool and The Daily Wire collaborated on a movie together?
02:00:17.000And we bring about 10 people to all of our movie sets and we put them in new roles and they're very young and they're very hungry and they're, they're excited to learn.
02:00:25.000So they get to see, and they get to see me and Gina Carano and our directors, Michael Polish.
02:02:13.000It's got to be normal to make those jokes.
02:02:16.000So like, you know, Ian gets an invitation in the mail and it's like, you're hereby invited to the latest revelation in graphene technology.
02:02:23.000And then he goes on wacky shenanigan adventures trying to get there.
02:02:29.000Falls down the stairs and then like, you know, and then gets picked up by the mafia and they think he's the delivery guy, but he's like, I'm I'm just trying to get to the Graphene Conference!
02:02:36.000Like, is that a code word for something?
02:02:38.000And they threaten him, and he's like, ah!
02:02:39.000And then, you know, finally he makes it there, and you know, somehow he's now the CEO of a company, he's a millionaire, and he's on a jet pack, and he's like, my life's crazy, and graphene, you know?
02:03:16.000Dallas, you want to shout out anything specifically?
02:03:18.000Yeah, you can find our new movie Shut In at Daily Wire on their app or at shutin.com.
02:03:25.000I just have to say this, what Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring and all the guys over at Daily Wire are doing is so important in giving me the opportunity to make these great movies for us to help Gina Carano and folks like her continue to make movies outside the system.
02:03:45.000I can say that there's a lot of love for Tim Kast over there and vice versa.
02:03:50.000I think folks who are sort of pushing back on the left's narrative, the more we can do together, get in touch with each other, that's great.
02:03:59.000This is gonna be so big and just understand like we are killing ourselves to make great movies and I tell you, Terror on the Prairie, the Gina Carano movie, is one of the best movies I've ever made.
02:05:03.000And I will say, you can follow me at iancarlson.net.
02:05:06.000And keep in mind, one of the wonderful things about the entertainment industry is that it's very cohesive.
02:05:10.000There is competition to get into the industry, but once you're there and you're working on a project, the better you make everyone around you look and do, the more that you're going to end up working in that industry.
02:05:38.000I want to thank you guys for joining us very much.
02:05:40.000I know the news has been getting a little dark lately, so it was really, really fun to be able to talk about some slightly other things, and the culture is so important.
02:05:46.000I really appreciate what you guys are doing, and I really enjoy what Brett and Miracle are doing over on Pop Culture Crisis.
