PERFECT BACK DROP FOR YOUR
CHRISTMAS MORNING, TOMORROW ON
"LIVE IN THE D."
>> Tati: IT’S TIME FOR REEL
TALK.
MOVIE THEATERS ARE BACK OPEN AND
THIS IS THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND
WHICH MEANS BIG MOVIES ON THE
BIG SCREEN.
AND SOME NEW ONES THAT YOU CAN
ALSO STREAM FROM YOUR HOME.
JOINING US FOR REEL TALK IS OUR
BUDDY, MOVIE REVIEWER GREG
RUSSELL.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US!
>> ALSO A PLEASURE.
>> Tati: LET’S START WITH THE
BIG ONE OUT ON CHRISTMAS WHICH I
AM GEEKED FOR, WONDER WOMAN
1984.
GOOD MOVIE.
GAL GADOT IS BACK AS WONDER
WOMAN AND TAKES PLACE IN 1984.
PEOPLE SAY, WHY THAT YEAR?
BECAUSE IT’S THE BEGINNING OF
TECHNOLOGY.
IT’S ALL ABOUT A BUSINESSMAN WHO
COMES ACROSS A SPECIAL ORB THAT
HELPS HIM GET WHAT HE WANTS AND
IT’S TIME FOR WONDER WOMAN TO
STOP HIM FROM TAKING OVER THE
WORLD.
A LOT OF ACTION, A LOT OF FUN
AND IT’S A GOOD TIME.
YOU’LL ENJOY IT AND DEFINITELY
GIVE THIS ONE A FOUR.
>> Tati: FOUR REELS, IMPRESSIVE.
I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK
ABOUT IT.
>> I’VE GOT YOU YOUR WONDER
WOMAN HEADBAND.
>> Tati: AND A NEW MOVIE
STARRING OSCAR-WINNER TOM HANKS,
"NEWS OF THE WORLD" AND IT’S A
WESTERN.
>> IT TAKES PLACE AFTER THE
CIVIL WAR.
HIS JOB IS TRAVELING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY READING THE NEWSPAPERS.
A LOT OF THEM DIDN’T HAVE A
NEWSPAPER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO READ.
HE COMES ACROSS A YOUNG GIRL WHO
IS ORPHANED.
AND HE IS TRYING TO GET HER BACK
WITH SOME FAMILY MEMBERS, BUT
THE REALITY IS, THEY BECOME A
FAMILY.
GOT TO TALK TO TOM HANKS ABOUT
HIS JOB BEING A NEWS READER.
AND FIND OUT AT THE END OF THE
INTERVIEW, HE ISN’T GOOD IN
EVERYTHING.
HERE WE GO.
>> THIS IS THE THING THAT
ABSOLUTELY GOT ME.
ACTUALLY, I WOULD WANT THIS JOB
IF I WAS -- I WOULDN’T WANT TO
BE THE GUY THAT GETS THE BOSTON
TIMES AND THE PARIS REVIEW AND
TELL A STORY ABOUT QUEEN
ELIZABETH TODAY AND LET THEM
KNOW WHERE THE TRAIN IS COMING
ALONG AND SOMETHING CALLED A
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL TEAM AND
I’LL TALK ABOUT THAT TODAY.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF PUTTING ON A
SHOW FOR AN ENTHUSIASTIC
AUDIENCE THAT WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT’S GOING ON.
>> AND JUST LOOKING AT THE GROUP
OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE IN THERE,
YOU GOT A LOT OF DIMES TODAY.
SO HE’S DOING IT PRETTY GOOD.
>> I THINK 10 CENTS WAS AN AWFUL
LOT TO PAY.
THE RESPONSIBILITY WAS TO PUT ON
A PRETTY GOOD SHOW.
HE WASN’T COMING ON FOR 27
MINUTES.
I THINK HE WAS UP THERE FOR AN
HOUR AND 10.
I THINK YOU’VE GOTTA GIVE
PEOPLE -- LET’S CALL IT A
HUNDRED MINUTES, IT’S A PENNY A
MINUTE.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I CAN’T REMEMBER.
I’M NOT GOOD AT MATH.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Tati: THAT IS HILARIOUS,
HILARIOUS!
WHAT A JOY THAT MUST HAVE BEEN
TO CHAT WITH TOM HANKS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
HE AND I ALSO TALKED ABOUT BEING
MEN MARRIED TO RITAs AND WHAT A
GREAT CLUB THAT IS.
>> Tati: THERE YOU GO.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD
WANT TO SEE.
>> THIS IS A GOOD CHRISTMAS IN
REGARDS TO MOVIES.
ANOTHER 4.
IT’S TOM HANKS.
SO THERE YOU GO.
>> Tati: I’VE NEVER SEEN A BAD
TOM HANKS MOVIE.
AND THERE’S A NEW DISNEY MOVIE
OUT TOMORROW ON DISNEY PLUS.
WHAT IS SOUL ALL ABOUT?
>> IT’S THE VOICES OF JAMIE FOXX
AND TINA FEY, A GUY WHO ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE A TOP MUSICIAN.
HE IS A MUSIC TEACHER IN THE
SCHOOLS AND HE GOES TO TRY OUT
FOR A JAZZ BAND AND THESE PEOPLE
LOVE HIM.
SO ON HIS WAY HOME, HE IS SO
EXCITED, HE HAS AN ACCIDENT.
HIS SPIRIT GOES INTO AN
ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.
AND SO, HIS DEAL IS, HE HAS TO
WORK HIS WAY BACK DOWN TO EARTH.
THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS IF HE
HELPS ANOTHER SOUL.
FIRST THEY BOP HEADS BUT BACK ON
EARTH IN DIFFERENT BODIES, AND
IT’S A WHOLE THING OF HAVING
PEOPLE REALIZE HOW PRECIOUS LIFE
IS AND ENJOY EVERY DAY.
IT’S A NICE AND TOUCHING STORY,
ONE FOR ADULTS AND KIDS DURING
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
>> Tati: SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT
MESSAGE.
HOW MANY REELS?
>> WE’RE FOUR ALL THE WAY, THIS
IS A MERRY CHRISTMAS!
>> Tati: GREG IS LIKE, YOU’RE
WELCOME, I’M GIVING YOU FOUR
REELS.
GEORGE CLOONEY HAS A NEW MOVIE
"THE MIDNIGHT SKY" THAT HE STARS
AND DIRECTS.
>> THE EARTH IS IN PERIL AND
DESTROYING ITSELF.
HIS PART IN THE MOVIE, HE IS A
PROFESSOR WHO IS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT HE CAN DO TO
HELP SAVE PEOPLE AND SAVE THE
PLANET.
WHILE UP IN SPACE, DAVID IS THE
COMMANDER OF A SPACESHIP TRYING
TO FIND A NEW PLANET.
I GOT TO TAKE TO DAVID ABOUT
THIS MOVIE AND HERE’S WHAT HE
HAD TO SAY.
>> IN SOME WAYS, AN UNEXPECTED
CAUTIONARY TALE.
>> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WHEN WATCHING IT, IT WAS LIKE,
THIS IS ALMOST LIKE WATCHING
TODAY, WATCHING THE TV, WATCHING
THE NEWS.
FOR YOUR CHARACTER, NOT ONLY IS
HE UP THERE BUT HIS FAMILY IS UP
THERE WITH HIM.
SO IT’S KIND OF LIKE, WHAT
DECISIONS DO WE MAKE?
>> THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT
CHALLENGES OF DOING THE MIDNIGHT
SKY.
IN SOME WAYS, MY CHARACTER HAS
RELATABLE CHALLENGES TO FACE AND
UNTHINKABLE CHALLENGES TO FACE.
WE’RE TASKED WITH FINDING A
PLANET TO COLONIZE AND OUR
PLANET IS ON THE VERGE OF
EXTINCTION, AND FELICITY JONES
AND I ARE TRYING TO HAVE A BABY
IN SPACE AND HOW TO BECOME A DAD
AND HOW THAT FITS WITH HUMANITY.
SO IT’S CHALLENGES LIKE THAT,
THAT AN ACTOR RELISHES GETTING
TO PLAY.
>> Tati: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF
THIS ONE?
HOW MANY REELS?
>> ANOTHER FOUR.
EVERYTHING IS GOOD COMING OUT
FOR THE HOLIDAY, WHICH IS SO
PERFECT BECAUSE YOU’LL BE
LOOKING FOR ENTERTAINMENT AT
HOME OR IF YOU DECIDE TO GO OUT.
AND DAVID SAYS HELLO TO
EVERYBODY AT "LIVE IN THE D."
HE REMEMBERS BEING ON THE SHOW.
>> Tati: AND "PROMISING YOUNG
WOMAN."
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
I’M VERY INTRIGUED!
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
THIS ONE IS A REAL GRIPPER!
IT’S ALL ABOUT THIS YOUNG LADY
WHO IS OUT TO AVENGE A WRONG
THAT HAD HAPPENED.
THAT’S THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE
IT BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO GIVE
TOO MUCH AWAY BECAUSE IT KEEPS
YOU GUESSING AND MOVING FROM
SIDE TO SIDE.
I TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE FILM.
THERE ARE A LOT OF WORDS I COULD USE TO DESCRIBE THE MOVIE.
USE TO DESCRIBE THE MOVIE.
THE BIGGEST IS, WOW!
>> WHEN YOU GOT THE SCRIPT, YOU
PROBABLY READ IT THE FIRST TIME
AND THEN AGAIN AND A THIRD TIME,
ALL IN ONE SITTING.
>> PRETTY MUCH.
I HAD A SIMILAR REACTION THAT
YOU HAD TO WATCHING IT, WOW!
AND I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE’S ASKED
ME TO DO THIS.
AND WHEN DO I START, REALLY?
>> TELL US ABOUT THE IDEA AND
THE CONCEPT CAME ABOUT.
>> IT’S SOMETHING I’VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT A LOT, WE’VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT IT.
VERY BAD ISOLATING, THE MOMENT
WHEN IT HAPPENS AND TENDS TO BE
BREWING FOR A LONG TIME.
>> Tati: HOW MANY REELS FOR THIS
ONE?
>> DEFINITE 4.
>> Tati: I’M WATCHING THAT ONE,
RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MERRY
CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY!
>> AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
AND YOURS AND EVERYBODY THERE AT
