What is the opening banter and introduction for this Kings Beat episode?
Sorry.
Welcome to the King's Beat Podcast. I am James Ham, Kings Insider for ESPN 1320 and the Kings Beat. Joining me today. KCRA three, Sean Cunningham. Sean, how are you?
I'm okay. I feel like we haven't done this in ages and it's a little foreign territory for us at the moment, but I see people I know virtually, James Hamm and Brennan Nunes. This is uh This is fun.
All right. We are of course joined by Brendan Unis from the King's Most Podcast.
Where?
Brendan, how are you?
Hey. I'm doing well. Doing well joining from the King's Beat Podcast is what you said. From the King's Beat Podcast. Just a beater here hanging out. Nothing nothing too crazy. Uh it's movie time of year. Apparently everybody's hyped about Odyssey. Everybody's hyped about Spider Man. Um, I have seen neither. Don't really have plans to see either. I want to.
I want to what is wrong with you?
Like I I want to. I will make plans. I do not know. The Odyssey is magnificent. Magnificent. I've heard so. I've also heard that Spider-Man was really good.
Spider-Man was spectacular.
Okay. And then I need to watch the previous ones first.
You do need to at least watch the last Spider-Man. You don't have to go back and watch the two before that.
Okay, so my plan is this weekend to go back and watch one and then we're gonna go watch the next Spider Man.
In a perfect world, you would go back and watch all of the Toby Maguire ones, then you would watch all of the Andrew Garfield ones, and then you would start with the Tom Holland ones and get uh that way you would know everything that's going on. But overall I think you're gonna be just fine.
Who's the original again? What uh Toby Maguire. Yeah, that is what I think of when I think of Spider Man.
Same. I've seen all of those. I haven't seen a single one after that.
You didn't see the Andrew Garfield ones? Okay.
Well no, that wouldn't that that's what I just said. Yeah, I haven't seen any of the ones after I haven't seen any of the Andrew Garfield ones. But in fairness, I don't um I don't I'm not I uh I'm just so burnt out and this has been for better part of a decade now. I am so burnt out on the concept of comic book movies that most of them I as big of a movie fan as I am, as I wear my heat shirt, one of my favorite movies that Brennan has not seen. I have seen that. Oh, that's right. Oh, you did you didn't like it?
Yeah, years ago.
And you liked it? Question. I did. I did. Yeah. Yeah. So so how many how many how many of my recommendations did you not like? Like I feel like I'm okay. If if I were to give you 10 recommendations on it, do Brendan, I think you'll really like this movie, even with the the ages, the the years between us. At least eight of them you're gonna go, yeah, those those were solid. You might not like them as mi as much as I do, but you're gonna go, you know what, those were solid recommendations.
We don't have a big test group right now. I've probably only watched about two of the movies that you've recommended me. So and I feel like we're hit or miss. It's heat that was good. We watched There's something about Mary that was that was a little questionable. It was solid. That was incredible. Yeah. That may have been more of a James recommendation.
That was me. Did you ever watch Life? 'Cause that's the one he tried to push on you again. Again.
Yeah. I have not seen that one. Have not seen that one. That is my favorite it by far my favorite Eddie Murphy movie. Now, granted, I'm biased. I was like it's filmed around Sacramento. I was on the set as a kid. That was incredible experience, but That is different than I I think most people would say like Harlem Knights or, you know, Beverly Hills Cops, something like that, forty eight hours, which wait, which one was here? Life.
Oh, that was in Sacramento?
Clarksburg, yeah. Clarksburg area out in the Delta. Yeah.
Oh that makes sense. No, I can see it. Yeah. All right.
A good portion of it. A good portion of it, healthy portion of it. A lot of it was also done on sets, but yeah, a good portion of the movie was shot out here. And the tons of actors, Martin Lawrence, Anthony Anderson, Guy Tory, uh the late Bernie Mack, you know, good stuff.
