What is up bros? I am not Caleb, but I am Jonathan.
So Caleb cannot be on this episode, so just wanted to get on here and apologize to all
you bros out there for us not only missing last week, we're really sorry about that,
but also this week not being a regular episode. Just unfortunately some things happened this
week. Caleb had to attend to some things, completely understandable, but we will definitely
be back to our regular scheduled program next week where we will be discussing the Bob Marley
music biopic One Love. So that's going to be exciting if you guys want to watch that
before you listen to our review that is on Paramount Plus right now. But you know just
kind of get some content out there this week. I kind of want to run through the movies that
are coming out for this summer and kind of just go through if I'm excited for them, if
I'm not. I picked the big ones, the ones that are going to I feel the most popular, that
hopefully will do well at the box office. We'll see. One is doing really bad so far
and I feel bad for the studio and all those involved. But anyway, so the summer movie
season of 2024 has officially kicked off. We're in May guys, it's insane. It is truly
insane. But just going through some of the movies that are coming out this summer. May
has already started off like I said and we've already gotten the Fall Guy from that. That
opened a couple weeks ago, I believe May 3rd. And unfortunately it did not do well at the
box office at least in its opening weekend. 28 million from what I hear it's like the
lowest summer movie season opening in 15 years. Because usually Marvel movies always open
at the beginning of summer or at the beginning of May. Really the beginning of summer, come
on. May kicks off the summer movie season. Always has, always will. But yeah, the Fall
Guy is the lowest May box office opening, or summer box office opening, sorry, in 15
years. Yeah, I'm sure Universal is kind of regretting taking that spot a little bit when
Deadpool and Wolverine had to drop out from that because of the strikes I believe. So
yeah, that sucks. I still kind of want to see it. Might wait for a $5 Tuesday because
I feel like it's something you definitely should see on the big screen. But I don't
know if I want to pay full price for that. I'm still interested in it. Love Ryan Gosling,
love Emily Blunt. So I'll still check it out eventually. And hey, maybe that's a future
review. We'll see. One though that Caleb better be down to review because freaking this is
like next to Ghostbusters Frozen Empire this was like my most anticipated movie of the
year and I can't wait to freaking see this movie. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Oh my god, I'm so freaking excited for this movie. It's getting rave reviews already.
They are comparing it to Rise, Dawn and War. They're saying it's just as good. The Planet
of the Apes movies haven't lost their thunder at all. So I'm over the freaking moon. I cannot
wait to see this goddamn movie. I'm going to put money. I'm putting money right now.
The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes becomes my favorite movie of the year. It's number
one because War was it in 2017. So I'm just putting money on it. I think it's going to
be Ghostbusters. We'll see. I just have a feeling guys. I have a feeling that it is
going to be number one. Some other movies coming on this month. We got If, Imaginary
Friend, the new movie, Family Movie, directed by John Krasinski, starring Steve Carell and
a bunch of other people. Like seriously, the cast list is insane. Like holy shit. Like
I don't want to even know the movie's budget because of how freaking stacked the cast is.
It's freaking insane. But you know, the trailer feels like fun. It's definitely not one I'm
like, oh my God, I have to see this opening weekend. But I think I'll eventually check
it out. I don't know if I'll check it out in theaters. We'll see if Caleb wants to check
if Caleb wants to review If while it's still in theaters. Great. But if we wait till streaming,
I'm not kicking myself. It's okay with me. So you know, I'm interested, but I'm not like
super excited for If. The Strangers Chapter One is also coming out this month. Definitely
excited for this one. I've voiced my opinion on some of the problems that I have with this
on previous episodes. But yeah, just like, like, I still love the direction they're going.
I'm always going to be excited for a Strangers movie, but I don't love the fact that in these
because it's three chapters that we're getting, but it's going to explore why the Strangers
do what they do. I'm the kind of person that thinks why do I want to do? No, why do I want
to know what the Strangers do what they do? They're just sick, twisted people that are
doing this shit for fun. That's all I want to know. That's all I need to know. Because
there are people out there like that. So yeah, I don't really need a deep dive into who the
strangers are, who these three are. But I guess that's what we're getting. So still
excited though. We also got Furiosa. Was it Mad Max Saga? Some something like that. I
really enjoyed Mad Max Fury Road. So I'm definitely interested in this one. I hope it's a lot
of fun. Freaking you got Anna Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth. So like fingers crossed that
it's it's gonna be a good time. I really hope it is. So definitely I'm definitely gonna
check that one out in theaters. Like, that is that is one thing that like when it comes
to George Miller's. I hope I said the director right. I hope it's George Miller. Otherwise,
people are gonna frickin attack me. But I think with like George Miller, with Mad Max
Fury Road, that was one of the best movies I've ever seen in 3d. Like, oh my god, it
was incredible. So yeah, these movies are definitely ones that you need to see on the
big screen. So definitely definitely checking out Furiosa on the big screen. I'm excited
for that one. And then to cap off me, you got Garfield. Yeah, I'm excited actually for
this one. The Chris Pratt voice has grown on me. It really has. And I don't know what
else to say. Like I've always loved Garfield. I really enjoyed the first live action Garfield
movie. The second one sucks. The only thing that's good in that movie is Bill Murray and
Tim Curry. That's that's really the only good that's the only saving grace about Garfield
the Tale of Two Kitties. But at least the first one is fun. Bill Murray definitely seems like
he's phoning it in. But you know what, that's okay. That that's definitely okay. But just
it's funny that like all the other characters from Garfield like actually look like real
cats. And you know, Odie a dog. Like they don't look like they're in any counterparts.
But you know, of course, with Garfield, they actually had to make him not look like a real
like they tried their best to make him look like a regular cat. But like, come on, we
Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm excited for this one. The animation looks great. Like, holy shit.
The animation looks freaking phenomenal. So yeah, excuse me. So I'm definitely excited
for Garfield. Then in June, we got bad boys ride or die. I have never seen a bad boy.
bad boys movie, nor I'm sorry, do I plan to just they don't interest me. It's just not
my thing. It's not my forte. So yeah, sorry. Not excited for that. Inside Out to frickin
my number one most anticipated animated film of this year. I hope it lives up to the first
one. I pray because like the first one is in my top three favorite Pixar movies. I love
Inside Out. And I'm very interested how they're going to explain how these new emotions work
because it seems like the way that the trailers are explaining is because the way anxiety
explains it that Riley at this age needs like deeper emotions, or more complex emotions.
I think that's what she says. And so it's interesting, you know, dive it not your you
have, you know, like the basic five emotions, but then you also have these like very specific
emotions. And so it's gonna be very interesting to see how they do that. Now, the less I'm
excited, really, really excited for Inside Out two, but I pray, I pray that it lives
up to the first one, please Pixar do not let me know about one. And then another one, big
one coming out in June, we got a Quiet Place day one, never seen any of the the Quiet Place
movies I know frickin kick myself right now. But you know what I think I really need to
watch them because this one looks so frickin good. And I've always wanted to experience
a Quiet Place movie in the theaters. And I think I want to make this one that experience.
So I'm definitely going to watch the first two before this movie comes out. And I'm just
I'm definitely seeing this on the big screen. Because just Yeah, it sounds like such a fun
environment seeing a Quiet Place movie in the theaters just just nothing but silence
like literally the the one crunch of a popcorn everyone can hear it. It's just I love that.
I love that aesthetic. So great. What else we got? All right, so coming out in July,
July is a pretty stacked month to like honestly all the months have some good stuff coming
out. I feel August is the weakest at least to me could be different for you guys out
there. I'm very curious what what Caleb thinks about this list of what he thinks of August
especially but we're getting I'm getting ahead of myself here. July, we got Despicable Me
four. I'm sorry, I'm not really looking forward to this. I've seen the first three I've seen
the first minions. I still have not seen the rise of Gru. I own it. I need to watch it.
But just I don't see why you needed a Despicable Me four. Oh, I know why. Because money because
the Despicable Me movies make so much damn money. That is why that is why we need a Despicable
Me four. That is the only sole reason why we need this damn fourth movie. Yeah, just
I don't know the trailer didn't do it for me. I didn't find the jokes funny. The minions
I find annoying now. So I'm not really excited for Despicable Me four. But you know what?
If you guys are that's awesome. Kudos to you for if you still enjoy this franchise. That's
awesome. Just it doesn't do it for me anymore. Also coming out we got twisters. I've never
seen twister. But I'm not gonna lie the trailer for twisters has me very intrigued. So I definitely
definitely want to check out twister before I see twisters. And I definitely want to see
frickin twisters on the big screen especially in Cinemark XD. Cinemarks equivalent of IMAX.
Yeah I want to see this shit on the biggest screen possible because yeah, that that's
gonna look so frickin dope. So yeah, I'm not gonna lie even though I've never seen twisters
I am very much excited for twisters. And then to cap the July, wow to cap off the month
of July. We got I feel everyone's I mean it's I'm gonna be honest it's not my most anticipated
movie of the summer. Mine's King Mother Planet of the Apes but I feel it's everybody else's
most anticipated movie of the summer. I'm sure it's Caleb's too. And that is Deadpool
and Wolverine. Don't get me wrong I'm really excited for this. I really really hope it's
as good as the first two. Like I don't really have anything bad to say about this. I'm I
the two trailers that we've gotten I really like the direction that they're going. It's
frickin amazing seeing Deadpool and Wolverine working together. I love Ryan Reynolds and
Hugh Jackman's chemistry. It's frickin awesome. So yeah, this this looks like it's I hope
it's going to be a good time and I hope it's I pray it's good. I really do. I hope it's
a really good third movie and it's just as good as the first two. So that's it for July.
Moving on to August. And you know what I still can't believe that they made a damn movie
about this. But you know what they turn every cartoon into a live action movie. Harold
and the Purple Crayon. Sorry Crayon. I still can't believe that this is a movie that this
is a thing. You know Zachary Levi from the trailers it's clear that he's trying he's
he's definitely doing whatever he can to make this work and look cool. But like yeah it
kind of looks fun. I will admit that the trailer has me interested. But I don't it just maybe
just because I'm old. I don't want to think about me being almost 30. God. Two years away
from being 30. Kill me now. I don't know just Harold and the Purple Crayon the live action
movie. What's next? Kai you oh god please no no Jonathan don't don't give Hollywood
any ideas. Please for the love of god do not do a Kai you movie. I will. I will rip my
hair out. Yeah just. No no no. But you know what maybe I could be proven wrong maybe Harold
and the Purple Crayon. I'd actually be good. It might be good. I'm skeptical but I'm still
interested. The next up we got Borderlands the movie. I've never played any of the games
but you know what this one kind of does look fun. The trailer kind of sold me. And freaking
the cast is pretty damn good. The cast is pretty stacked. Kate Blanchett. I almost said
Kevin James. Kevin Hart and Jamie Lee Curtis like oh Jack Black. Almost forgot about Jack
Black. Like great cast. It's just I've never played any of the games so I don't know anything
about the story. So I'm going to I will literally be going into this movie blind. But you know
maybe that could be a good thing. So I'm definitely definitely interested in that one. And then
we also got Alien Romulus coming out. Never seen any of the Alien movies so maybe I should
actually finally check some out to go see this one. And I know a lot of people I've
seen a lot of fans of the Alien franchise actually really excited for this one because
it definitely looks like they're taking it back to its origins which is always a good
thing when something is failing. Keeping the franchise alive. Going back to its origins
is usually the best call and it usually will save the franchise. Sometimes it doesn't but
you just have to hope and usually it does. If it's given the love and appreciation it
deserves it usually does save the franchise. So yeah so I'm kind of interested in Alien
Romulus. I just got to watch the other ones before that one comes out. And then last but
not least to cap off August we got the Crow remake starring Bill Skarsgard. I've never
seen the original movie and it's so sad what happened. Maybe rest in peace. And I know
a lot of people were very skeptical about them making a remake of this. It felt very
unnecessary and you know honestly all remakes feel unnecessary. But you know what I hope
that they do service to the original and what happened. So I am skeptical. I know Caleb
is excited for this one most definitely. So I don't know. I am skeptical but I'm definitely
interested in seeing what they're able to pull off with it. But yeah so that's all the
movies coming out that I've honestly had my eye on this summer. Like I said at the beginning
we apologize for being away from being away last week and also this week with just me.
Yeah sorry guys you just get me. I know you just love me being just my voice. Well I mean
if you listen to the Gacy Gazette you know that it's just my voice and I know it's been
a while since I've done an episode of that. But Caleb and I have something special coming
up this weekend. We are going to be going to the first convention that Ryan Grayface,
the owner of the Grayface Museum in Savannah Georgia will be putting on in Savannah Georgia
and it will be a case study of John Wayne Gacy. So you best believe that there will
be a new episode of the Gacy Gazette coming very soon after that. It's going to be amazing.
I'm really looking forward to it because he has Rafael Tovar coming who if you guys know
about the Gacy case he was one of the people that basically dug up bodies under Gacy's
house. I feel bad I forget her name but Gacy's attorney that was his attorney on death row
she's going to be there. She just recently came out with a book talking about her experience
with being with Gacy on death row. If you watch the Peacock special Devil in Disguise
John Wayne Gacy she pointed out so many good points when it came to Gacy being executed
like I agree with her and I might get some hate for this but I like that she points out
that when it comes to someone being executed it should be something that's examined something
that is just watched something to be odd about just you're like there to like not pay respect
because John Wayne Gacy was an asshole he deserved what he got me he rotten hell but
you're there to just watch a man's life be taken a man's life that deserved to be taken
but it's something that you should be in awe about you should just examine it just view
it. She said that there shouldn't be cheering there shouldn't be parties like yeah like
maybe you know like at home like after but at the prison it's definitely it's something
that should just be just viewed just viewed in awe and she pointed out that throwing parties
at the prison the night that he was executed she feels that it just showed disrespect towards
the victims and you know I see both sides you know yeah yeah you know like that you
know show the victims honor with you know being like yeah finally the clown goes down
Gacy finally is dead but also making it a kind of sentimental moment with nothing big
going on no like shouting crowds just being like okay let's take let's take a moment let's
watch this evil man be put to death and show our respect for the victims that he took and
uh sorry I'm just gonna keep talking about Gacy for a minute I just recently finished
reading Sam Amarante's book that he wrote about Gacy with it was called defending a
monster and he wrote it you know for those of you who don't know Sam Amarante was Gacy's
attorney for his case and I recommend it guys if you want to read a book about Gacy like
read this book it's so freaking good but towards the end when you know Gacy has a death day
set Amarante points out that he said he says you know everyone's heard of Macy's Day Parade
Macy's Day Parades that day people were having Gacy's Day Parades yeah I'm sure a lot of
people were but just it's like it's it's very interesting how she put it in the in the Peacock
series with it's something that should be viewed in awe examined you know I just found
that very interesting like I get you know both points her point or and also people just
wanting to cheer that he's finally dead you know like it's it's a party and I haven't
read like I said I haven't read her book yet I'm very excited to read it but yeah so yeah
she's gonna be there he's gonna have some other panelists there Rafael Tovar is bringing
a artifact from the Gacy case that has never as far as I know from what I heard it's never
been seen and it's actually going to be placed in the Grayface Museum after the convention
and so yeah this like this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing I'm so lucky I was able to get off work
for this and it's gonna be an amazing experience for me and Caleb I'm really excited so you
expect a new episode of the Gacy Gazette to come out with that and I'm gonna probably
have Caleb join me at least I hope he he wants to we can just talk about our experience with
that and it's gonna be it's gonna be very interesting again I'm sure we're gonna learn
a lot about the Gacy case I'm sure I'm gonna learn stuff I didn't even know because Ryan
Grayface is like the top person I feel that knows about this case except for the people
that were involved he he is truly dedicated his his life to studying this case seeing
if there's anything that he can dig up that hasn't been dug up on John Wayne Gacy and
bringing closure to this case that that as we know considering there is I believe six
still unidentified victims still need closure for those for those families it's also crazy
that you know I mean this will come out after but so I'm recording this on May 8th and May
10th will mark the 30th anniversary of when Gacy was executed so it's great it's crazy
to think about that it's been that long but I'm I'm turning this into an episode of the
Gacy Gazette but that a new episode of that will be coming soon but this is the Albers
this is the main Albers podcast yeah so I'm gonna reiterate again we apologize for missing
last week's episode and missing this week's episode just some stuff has happened honestly
in both of our lives so you know stuff happens life happens but don't you worry guys we will
be back at it again next week with both me and Caleb you won't have to just listen to
my voice because as much as I love just hearing my own voice it's weird even though I've done
the Gacy Gazette it's still weird and it feels weird not you know bantering off Caleb it's
definitely weird but but I digress but anyway see you next week you can look forward to
our breakdown of the Bob Marley biopic One Love which you can stream right now on Paramount
Plus if you guys want to watch that before you listen to our episode next week but until
then this has been the Albers podcast I am Jonathan and we will catch you guys next week.
