  • Alright, everyone, we begin with James Cameron's billion dollar box office gamble.

  • That is avatar, the way of water, just breathe, breathe this marks Cameron's first film in 13 years and it carries a price tag of over $350 million.

  • But with three more avatar movies scheduled, the franchise will mark a $1 billion investment from Disney and that's just on production costs alone, $100 billion.

  • But why stop at just five?

  • Cameron says he has plans for way more movies in avatar six and an avatar seven.

  • But of course, in order to get their avatar, the way of water needs to kick off a series of big financial successes and that's what jim is very good at.

  • He's he's very good at upping the ante.

  • He's very good at what we're going to add Children into this love story, we're gonna increase the planet and what we see of it.

  • All right, well here to join me with his hot takes while he's the host of the watch mojo music podcast, inner sleeve, my man, cassius Morris cassius.

  • We are starting with avatar, the way of water and the insane stakes with James Cameron putting a big gamble on things.

  • Can he pull it off or has he bitten off more than he can chew?

  • You know, I certainly hope mr Cameron has a big appetite because I think the fans certainly do when it comes to avatar matt, one of the biggest series, I would say in the past 20 years.

  • It's it's really hard to debate even though it's only one movie so far.

  • The second movie I'm sure is going to blow past the projected income.

  • And you know, I can easily see this being a franchise like harry potter with six or seven films if he manages to carry it correctly.

  • This is our home, this is our family, this is our fortress.

  • This is where we make our stand.

  • Okay.

  • Well, moving on from one movie franchise to another.

  • As the director of Indiana Jones five, the dial of destiny had some pretty harsh words for quote trolling a holes.

  • I think I'd cover my ears if I were you.

  • You're a teacher.

  • Part time, yep.

  • James.

  • Mangold has taken to social media to denounce rumors that Indy himself, Harrison Ford was set to pass on the fedora to costar Phoebe Waller Bridge, who will star as the famed characters, God Daughter Helena?

  • I'm her Godfather.

  • Get back.

  • Man Gold was clear, crystal clear that no one is taking over or replacing indie and he's certainly not being erased.

  • Harrison Ford even said that when he's gone, the character is gone.

  • That damn music follows me everywhere, cassius question for you is does Mangold need to do this?

  • Does he need to lash out at these trolls or can you just ignore all that online chatter?

  • I guess it was really important for him to get his exact message out and you know, I've personally seen a lot of the online trolling about this movie.

  • Everything from talking about the characters to making fun of the Sequels to making fun of Harrison ford's age, it never ends.

  • So you know at a certain point matt maybe you gotta jump on there, but I do think it's sort of lowers his sort of status in a way of making them maybe a little too approachable to be a big time director and I've come to believe it's not so much what you believe.

  • It's hard to believe it.

  • All right.

  • Cash is moving on to someone who just can't seem to stay out of the headlines and no, not for positive reasons.

  • I'm talking about Kanye West, I'm just extremely happy.

  • Can you tell by my face to recap The rapper has been spewing anti Semitism for weeks now and recently praised Hitler during a conversation with Alex jones, he's also defended Nazis and posted a swastika on his twitter account which naturally got him suspended.

  • I I see, I see good things about Hitler also the jew, I love everyone, well now more and more celebrities are calling out his comments and he continues to be a punchline on such shows as saturday Night Live, we're basically dealing with the ah Micron variant of Kanye, you know like we thought he'd fade away but now we realized we may have to live with the brain fog of long haul Kanye and if that wasn't bad enough, Sasha Baron Cohen's Borat made a surprise appearance at a taping for the Kennedy center honors where he said among other things that even Kanye was too anti Semitic for Kazakhstan.

  • What is more dangerous?

  • This virus or the democratic democrats, democrats, cassius Kanye West, is this a mental health thing?

  • How do we, do we take the microphone away?

  • What's the best course correction here?

  • I think Dame dash the record executive said it best.

  • He's already admitted that he has mental health issues Kanye.

  • So you know Dames point was that people are sort of surprised when he says wild things.

  • So I I think we have to sort of factor that in at all times.

  • I also think it's a mixture of a lot of different things including hatred.

  • You know, I think there's no place for the type of hatred that Kanye is spewing no matter how good his music is, we still love Kanye that's all it was Kanye Well guess what I love you like Kanye loves Kanye.

  • Okay Cash is shifting down to some good news for superhero fans as it relates to Dc's upcoming film.

  • Blue beetle.

  • Blue beetle at your service Cobra Kai is colo married Buena will star as the D.

  • C.

  • U.

  • S.

  • First latin superhero in the film and as noted on the official poster reveal the movie which was originally slated for HBO max has been promoted to a theatrical release.

  • Don't worry, I got this no mercy coming out, august 18th 2023 the news is a major sigh of relief for some as many figured that the film would be outright canceled.

  • You know like Warner's did with that Batgirl movie.

  • If you were looking forward to that new Batgirl movie forget about it.

  • Movie has tested so poorly that the studio behind it calls it irredeemable cassius.

  • This character is uber popular amongst comic book fans.

  • Could the blue beetle B.

  • DCs answer to Spider man.

  • What says you about this movie?

  • You know I think we actually do need to keep evolving the space and pushing it.

  • We can only do so many Spider man's and so many Batmans and so many variations of the two.

  • I think it is time for some new characters to come in and get some big theatrical releases and really get the superhero treatment.

  • So I think it's good for D.

  • C.

  • I think this young actor is definitely going to do a good job.

  • He has the perfect look for you know superhero type of casting and I'm optimistic for this.

  • I'm doing well so far.

  • Yeah.

  • Okay well last for us on this week's Hollywood headlines is a look at the continued backlash surrounding the liver kings steroid controversy.

  • Hey Derek you know how I got so jacked I followed the nine ancestral tenants that I heard that works really well in case you missed it.

  • The viral tiktok er who preaches the benefits of eating animal testicles not to mention his own brand of supplements has come clean about the fact that he is indeed taking steroids.

  • Yes, I've done steroids and yes, I'm on steroids monitored and managed by trained hormone clinician podcast.

  • King joe Rogan had a good laugh reacting to the liver king's apology video on the show, but he also took the moment to call out other Hollywood stars who might not be honest about their own steroid use.

  • Like Dwayne the rock johnson the rock should come clean right now.

  • He should make a video in response to the liver king video.

  • I need to talk to you because the rock's been lying cassius.

  • The liver king should other Hollywood muscle heads come clean now or is it going to be like a don't ask, don't tell type deal.

  • The idea to me of getting away with anything in this day and age, especially as a celebrity is also inconceivable.

  • You know, it's impossible to hide if you're getting steroids from somewhere.

  • People are going to find out they're gonna see you using it.

  • They're going to know.

  • And I think it's just time for people to stop lying, especially when you're under the public light.

  • Quick, quick confession on my end.

  • I do want to apologize to everyone because I am currently on Flintstone vitamins.

  • There you go.

  • Okay, well we were waiting for you to confess.

  • Hey, cassius.

Alright, everyone, we begin with James Cameron's billion dollar box office gamble.
