Show Page

Adam opens the show to a “Bieber’s Dick Pics” intro, BB is on his way to the show with ‘Steve Jobs’ fresh in his head, Adam is going to give his fuller review of the movie after mentioning it last night, he says he was able to “stay awake” this time, which seems like he’s hinting about the screening for ‘The Martian’ that was talked about on FCOL ‘Mama Needs A Tutor Too’.

That Episode of FCOL has become quite the controversial topic, IMO Adam like everyone deserves to be able to really cut loose, once a decade is too much for the guy who pays everyone and entertains everyone?

Adam says ‘Steve Jobs’ is well made, it’s like a 3 act play but well made, Adam is talking about how jacked Michael Fassbender is compared to the late Steve Jobs and his rather svelte physique.

 

Adam talks about Jonah Hill looking like he toils away in a garage, I think he means Seth Rogen.

Adam is talking about celebrities playing war heroes vs. computer guys.

Adam says he could feel a bit of the accent poking through, he says it’s weird when you’re critiquing a guy for speaking 10 languages and having a great body.

 

Adam is telling Gary to find a non-cancer death bed photo of Michael as Steve, Adam is correcting himself about Seth Rogen.

Adam says he Seth was good, he loved the first act, liked the 2nd and was tepid for the final act of the film.

Gina brings up ‘The Martian’ and Jeff’s role in that and Adam cites his “I WOKE UP IN PHOENIX!” reasoning for the events that unfolded on the day of the screening, Adam doesn’t recall him in that movie.

Adam is talking about seeing his seats next to the car they belong in, Adam wanted to recondition the seats before bolting them down in the car.

Adam explains how his guys wanted to pop the seats out again before reconditioning them and then putting them back in.
Adam is talking about hourly wages and how communication is key, Adam is asking about Gary and their trip back to the airport.

Adam is talking about the “Uber Mom” driver who picked him up, Adam asked her about right on red in Arizona, the woman told him they’re legal unless a sign is  displayed prohibiting it.

Adam and Gina have a funny improv back and forth, it’s nice hearing them on air without anyone else, Gina gets more room to play back up fiddle, and she’s doing well.

 

Gina is quoting the woman, she was in the car and Adam is going over the events again, doing one more lap, Adam is dumfounded by how difficult it seems to be for other people to communicate to other adult humans.

Adam talks about the radio tours he does when the shows didn’t get a chance to see his movies beforehand due to a screener mix-up.

Adam explains how Steve Jobs was the ultimate example of someone who experiences these scenarios and tries to remedy them, by any means necessary.

BB can’t believe the show is 22min in already.

 

Hooray for Baldywood

BB almost says Phil Rosenthal and Adam brings up Kate Winslet and her chameleon like role in the movie, BB didn’t realize it until this moment.

BB says that Phil’s words were ringing through his head, this is a play.

BB talks about the less than a dozen or so set pieces.

 

Gina asks about the amount of “Bollywood Dancing” and cites the indolent of director Danny Boyle, BB is now bringing up the melodramatic element to the conversations that need to be had before each of Steve’s legendary presentations.

BB says this movie won’t be remembered that fondly, Adam says that Fassbender was too chiseled and built, he looked like he was working out and going low carb.

BB says the Ahston Kutcher version is not good but Ashton did a similar job of looking like Steve and perhaps a better job with the posture and mannerisms, Adam is commenting on the lack of discussion about Steve’s looks in reality and how it ended up distracting him in the movie.

 

Adam thinks there might be some Oscar talk for the supporting players, Adam references ‘I’ll Fly Away’ and says he loves that movie, holy shit!

Adam talks about knowing Alec Baldwin after BB brings him up, Adam talks about Alec wanting to pack on weight subconsciously to escape the handsome leading man stereotypical roles.

Adam interrupts to explain that Kevin Weeks in on the blower, Adam asks Brandon to hang on.
