we're gonna dive right into some of the things were falling for you today.
The new academy ceo
signaling the return of all categories for the Oscars live ceremony.
So we got to talk about it.
Bill Cramer's comments coming a year after eight awards
were controversially presented prior to the televised event.
That was in an effort to shorten the length of the show
over Cramer's comments,
make it sound like all 23 categories now gonna be treated equally in the future.
In an interview with the organization's digital magazine,
the Academy Chief saying, quote,
I would love to see all artistic and scientific disciplines honored in the show,
past Oscar winners on stage celebrations of iconic past
winners and even an emotional investment in the nominees.
I agree
the 2023 serving as the 95th. Oscars Kramer clearly has been plans in mind.
He goes on to say, quote,
the energy around the show should feel like
a massive celebration of cinema and the awards,
our legacy, our artists,
our movies, our future.
Next year's Oscar is gonna take place sunday, March the 12th.
I agree with him on all of the points and all this.
But the point is is that it's too long of a show.
You've never been able to basically cram all of that into like, I don't know,
2.5 hours.
This is why the show has always been three hours long,
which was the whole reason why they had
this tape previously and shown them at different times
to try to shorten it even though still the Oscars were still three hours recently.
This is such a tough position because then when they got rid of categories
included, we were, we were like, no,
every discipline needs to be honored a lot of and even though we're upset too right,
Jessica Chastain, she protested. That's right.
A lot of them blacklisted the Oscars. This is a tough situation. I will say, I'm glad
that they're doing this this way.
Bill Claimer, Bill Kramer,
he's actually getting me excited about the Oscars again,
I haven't felt that way in a long time, but yeah, they're gonna have to cut it.
So the big question is, is what do you do to sort of make the Oscars cool, relevant,
fresh
Shorten. Yes. Besides me hosting it.
The Hollywood reporter had an interesting list of a couple of ideas that they
think maybe that they could do to sort of liven up the Oscars again,
the first one.
They thought basically maybe move it away from the Kodak
theater and move it to maybe the Hollywood bowl.
So that way fans could actually go to the Oscars that way you get fan engagement.
The other big thing,
you know, I know they talked about the popular movie category for a long time,
but you have to sort of fit in these blockbusters, these marvel films,
the films that people are actually going to the movie theaters to go and see
into this some house that way. They're basically winning this as well.
And then maybe the last thing,
maybe you have somebody with experience in live television or live
sports broadcasts and do this instead of the steven Soderbergh's or
these big name producers and maybe you have them stay on
for a few years that way they sort of learn and make
based on all this because if you want to make it sort of this cool live event,
maybe you gotta have something that works on live television.
They announced who's hosting it? No, no, no, no.
And they probably won't do that probably till january.
Alright.
And speaking of marvel,
the fifth Avengers movie might have found its newest hero
and one of the first members of the team.
Well, they just spoiled it.
In an interview with the Hollywood reporter, she hulk star,
Tatiana Maslany jokingly asked Mark Ruffalo to give
her one year of being the marvel.
Cinematic universe is central hulk
Well ask and you shall receive Ruffalo who played the green hero
for the last decade replying to a request by saying quote,
All right, you can have a year.
No, she's in now. There's not going to be another Avengers without her. Alright.
There have already been four Avengers films with the next two Avengers
movies set to end the multiverse saga in phase six Avengers,
the Qing dynasty will hit the big screen on May 2nd
2025 while Avengers Secret wars will come out six months later
in the meat.
Meantime you can catch the possible new Avenger tomorrow when she hulk attorney
at law begin streaming on Disney plus I've talked to you about this.
I can't wait. I've been waiting for the show for years.
However, the reviews are terrible. I'm still gonna watch, I don't care.
I told you about my dream, but I have that once a year, twice a year that
that I am that I am the hulk and I'm running up a wall and I only see my feet.
Oh, that's my therapist.
Yes. Bring that up in your next session. By the way, Tatiana Maslany has been
really, really saying some interesting things. She's a great actress
orphan black was so good.
Um she's been saying some interesting things about she hulk and some interviews
she's telling The Guardian she doesn't like the term strong female lead.
She says basically it's a box that nobody fits into. Even the phrase is frustrating.
It's like as if we're supposed to be grateful that we are able to sort of get that.
She goes on to basically say that basically she wanted
to be a time where we're no longer talking about
that there's a female hulk and a male hulk that
all of a sudden all of this and there's no,
you know,
queer leads as a marvel character that essentially all those sort of stereotypes
are essentially broken and out the window that if there's the hulk,
it doesn't matter if it's a she hulk or
hulk, it's just the hulk Yeah,
and I think marvel is the one to do this and kind of taking a step forward,
look at what they've done over the years already.
I mean there's so much diversity and inclusion
alright, this next door, a little creepy, little kooky, mysterious and spooky,
we're getting the first look at the new Adams family,
thank you and the new netflix series, Wednesday, look at this,
you
will love livermore
is a magical place. I met your Mother.
Finally, you will be among peers, soon to stand here.
Maybe you'll even make some friends
want to take a stab at being social.
I do like stabbing.
Oh yeah, actors, Catherine,
Zeta jones and luis Guzman transform into morticia and Gomez while Jenna Ortega
as you saw stars as Wednesday perhaps the most dour member of the family
by the way, Isaac Cardona is playing her brother, Pugsley,
filmmaker tim Burton.
Yeah,
he's gonna direct four of the eight episodes as
well as executive produced the coming of age,
dark comedy.
This marks the first real foray for him into television
series,
Showrunners say Wednesday less like a tv show though and
more like an eight hour long tim Burton movie,
the netflix series is set to drop this fall when I saw
this trailer by the way that's at nancy Reagan like high school,
which I think it's so funny that I have that right there um it
gives you sort of like the Tim Burton as sort of feel of things,
but like it also feels very harry potter ish.
It also feels very like Willy Wonka ish.
So I feel like you're getting like sort of this
mix of all these different sort of things here,
which I think is gonna be really kind of cool.
Yeah.
Tim Burton said,
we've never seen Wednesday as a teenager and really diving into that character.
He also wanted to base the show more on the Adams, family cartoons
than the actual shows. That's why Gomez is so much shorter than morticia,
etcetera.
But I think this is gonna be great and this, the trailer alone I'm in, right?
And by the way, Christina Ricci was, you know,
Wednesday in the movies a long time ago.
She's given a run for her money
in terms of like the good Wednesday's out there.
By the way, I think that she's gonna be a household name. I absolutely agree with you.
Let's talk about drake.
He can now accurately claim he's got more slaps than the Beatles.
Let's explain the rapper has broken a significant Fab four record.
Drake scored his 30th, Top five songs on the billboard Hot 100.
Thanks to Staying Alive by DJ Khalid featuring both Drake and Little Baby,
which debuted at the number five.
That's good. That's good at the number five spot on the chart.
He was previously tied with the Beatles who held the record for 64 years
at 29 top five hits when the rapper previously broke another Beatles record,
he celebrated the milestone, Do you remember this?
He got the tattoo of the legendary band Abbey Road line up on his arm.
He was leading the pack on that tattoo by the way.
So how did he honor the accomplishment this time around?
He's betting big on Bitcoin.
Everyone during posting on social media saying, quote, okay,
I broke my records for the month.
Now me and steak needs you to do your thing
by the way. Not really,
not reacting very well at all, hasn't been for the last few months.
I mean, drake, look, I mean for a rapper to accomplish this,
not even an american rapper, a rapper from Canada,
accomplishing this is pretty incredible.
Let's talk about the last record in june latest album.
Honestly, never mind gave him his 11th,
number one on the billboard 200 albums chart.
Yeah, exactly.
And now he's the fifth act by the way, with more than 10,
number one albums on the billboard 200 since the 19 fifties.
The other ones, by the way, in case you're keeping Score at home,
The Beatles, they have a record 19, number one albums, Bruce, Springsteen, Barbra,
Streisand, each have 11,
jay Z has 14 and then drake part of that conversation as well.
Good for you, Drake and jay Z. I mean, that's it by the way.
That's a legendary, iconic list. Absolutely, indeed.
Meanwhile, time to get trendy friends, we gotta talk about Kanye,
he's got a lot of people upset with him yet again.
But this time it's for an entire new reason kind of trashy.
If you ask me,
it seems like shoppers not happy with West's new Easy line being in the gap,
sold out of garbage bags.
You got to see these photos,
customers at the store have had to sort through bags full of
clothes and all different sizes with none of it being organized.
The situation is even crazier when you consider some of the plain black hoodies,
t shirts and leggings are priced as high as $300
while many on social media say they aren't buying the new
line because it's too much effort to go dumpster diving.
Others have said they don't mind it considering it's almost an adventure
for them and the reason the clothes are being sold out there,
you see some of the photos being sold out of trash bags now,
Kanye reportedly didn't like the clothes how they looked on hangers,
which is why they're being sold out of trash bags.
But when you see these photos, I mean look at this,
it just looks really dumpy,
like why would you want to go spend all of this money to go buy these,
you know to buy clothes out of a giant trash bag I guess the idea that it's sort
of like an adventure and sort of like a scavenger hunt to pull through and be like,
oh does it have my size or whatever, but not if I'm paying $300 for this first.
My first thought was that the balenciaga trash which is like
$100. No, it is not.
Kanye West said this concept was actually inspired by the homeless
in California.
Here's the thing though, whenever he puts out any line, whether it's gap,
whether it's sneakers, they sell out,
this is gonna sell out and look you and I clearly or the anomaly because he was right,
people are buying this stuff, they're waiting in line for this stuff.
I just, somebody who's a very neat freak. Yeah, I like my clothes on a hanger,
I want to,
I want to see what it looks like.
So that way I can kind of figure out which things I want to wear,
not sort of be like oh do I have this shirt, I have this pair of pants where
I'm spending $300 on a T shirt
and Kanye West isn't the only rapper trending.
If you're looking for something new to shake up your breakfast,
Snoop Dogg got you covered

it comes from the food line he co founded with fellow rapper Master P.
Now according to the box, the cereal is gluten free and multi grain.
The company website says it helps support charities including Door of Hope,
which supports the un housed community.
This isn't Snoop's first venture into grocery stores by the way.
He also has a wine brand thanks to his partnership with 19 crimes. I love the bottom.
Yeah, so trying the cereal.
I think I am Master P by the way. Said you mentioned it's gluten free.
Master P also says that the serial promises more corn,

all things that you love with a balanced breakfast.
