>> Jason: WELL, MCCARTNEY
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
A ’90s CLASSIC GETS A REBOOT.
AND NEW STREAMING SERIES TO TALK
ABOUT.
GREG RUSSELL JOINS US LIVE.
HE’S A TOTAL BEATLES’ FANATIC,
SO THERE’S THAT.
LET’S GET INTO IT.
I HAVE READ SOME REVIEWS.
I ONLY SAW "SPACE JAM" ONCE.
THAT’S ALL I NEEDED TO SEE.
I DIDN’T THINK IT’S THAT GOOD.
BUT FOR SOME PEOPLE IT’S A
CHILDHOOD TOUCHSTONE.
HERE COMES "SPACE JAM: A NEW
LEGACY," AND SOME REVIEWS ARE
JUST SAVAGE, INCLUDING RICHARD
ROPER.
"ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED
MOVIES OF THE SEASON."
LET’S GET INTO IT.
>> IT’S ONE OF THOSE,
TRUTHFULLY, THIS MOVIE IS
STRICTLY FOR KIDS.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GO, YOU AND
YOUR WIFE ARE NOT GOING TO GO
OUT ON A DATE TO SEE THIS.
THIS IS ALL FOR KIDS.
I WAS LIKE, OKAY.
BUT AFTER I GOT DONE, I TALKED
TO SOME OF THE KIDS WITH THEIR
PARENTS, WHO ALL TOLD ME TO TELL
YOU AND TATI HELLO, THE KIDS
ENJOYED IT.
SO IT’S STRICTLY A KIDS’ MOVIE.
I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A CLIP, SO
LET’S CHECK IT OUT.
>> LOWELLBACK SHOW ’EM HOW WE DO
IT.
>> SIMPLEST SHOT IN THE GAME.
>> WOW.
>> WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT
>> NICE LAYUP.
THAT’S FUNDAMENTAL BASKETBALL
>> FUNDAMENTAL BASKETBALL,
THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING.
SHOOT THE BALL!
LET’S TRY THAT AGAIN, SHALL WE?
>> Jason: SO GREG, WHAT DID
YOU THINK?
FOR ADULTS, RIGHT THERE IN THE
MIDDLE, BUT THE KIDS ENJOYED IT.
THAT’S WHO IT IS MADE FOR.
SO IF YOU’VE GOT HBO MAX WHERE
YOU CAN STREAM IT, PUT IT ON,
LET THE KIDS ENJOY SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
FORYOU WANT, JASON, I DO HAVE
THIS FOR YOU.
YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL.
THIS WOULDN’T FIT IN MY BLU-RAY
PLAYER.
I DON’T KNOW WHY.
>> Jason: WELL PLAYED.
NEXT UP WE HAVE A NEW SERIES ON
APPLE TV PLUS STARRING DETROIT’S OWN KEEGAN MICHAEL KEY AND MY

THEY ARE A COUPLE.
THEY GO TO A RESORT TO BLOOM
THINGS.
THEY CROSS OVER A BRIDGE, AND
NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY’RE IN
SMIGERDOON, A CROSS BETWEEN
TWILIGHT ZONE AND 1940s M DW M
MUSICAL.
IT’S MODERN TIME, BUT SOME TOOK
PLACE IN THE 1940s.
IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE
THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON
BACK THEN, AND NOW THEY’RE IN
YOUR FACE AGAIN, AND YOU’RE
GOING, HOW DID ALL THIS HAPPEN.
>> UH-HUH.
WELL, I THINK THAT’S WHAT’S FUN.
I THINK KEEGAN AND I SORT OF
SERVED AS THE AUDIENCE, YOU
KNOW, MOUTHPIECE FOR THE
AUDIENCE.
I’M EVERYBODY WHO HAS LOVED
MUSICALS, AND HE’S GOT THE
HARDER JOB OF ACTING LIKE HE
DOES NOT.
>> RIGHT, BECAUSE IT DID MADE ME
LAUGH WHEN HE WAS SAYING, I
DON’T LIKE THE THEATERS AND THE
MUSICALS.
THAT WAS HIS MAJOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT MERCY
>> HE’S LIKE A BIG -- I CAN’T
TELL WHO IS A BIGGER THEATER
NERD, BUT HE HAD THE HARDER JOB
PRETENDING.
>> EVEN LIKE THE CHARACTERS,
WERE THE CHARACTERS LIKE THE
ONES YOU WOULD SEE IN THE OLDER
MOVIES WHERE THEY’RE LIKE
EXAGGERATED, LIKE THE TOWN TOUGH
GUY
>> YES.
>> HE WAS PERFECT
>> OH, THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN.
IT WAS SO FUN TO ACT ALONGSIDE THEM, BECAUSE OF HOW... YOU
THEM, BECAUSE OF HOW... YOU
KNOW, I LAUGHED EVERY DAY, YOU
KNOW, I’M BEING SO SERIOUS AND
AARON BEING SO RIDICULOUS.
IT WAS JUST ALL OF MY SMILES ARE
VERY GENUINE.
>> YOU HAVE THIS GREAT CAST ALL
THE WAY AROUND.
IT’S LIKE EVERYBODY PLAYING THE
PART SEEMED LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN
FOR THEM.
>> RIGHT, ALTHOUGH AS YOU SAY,
CEEG ANYONE REAL LIFE LIKES
MUSICAL THEATER, BUT HIS ROLE IS TO BE THE ONE, THAT’S THE RICKY
TO BE THE ONE, THAT’S THE RICKY
RICARDO TO CESILY CILY’S LUCILLE
BALL.
>> Jason: MORE CECILY STRONG.
THERE’S A VERY WELL-KNOWN
CINEMATOGRAPHER AND DIRECTOR.
WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> IT’S FAWN SERIES ONCE YOU GET
INTO IT.
FIRST THEY’RE CROSSING THIS
BRIDGE, A WEIRD TIME, THEY START
BREAKING OUT IN SONG.
YOU’RE LIKE, WHAT?
THEN WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT IT’S
ABOUT, YOU DO ENJOY IT.
PLUS IT BRINGS TO LIGHT JUST HOW
HAPPY WE SHOULD BE THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE 1940s.
HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE 1940s.
>> Jason: FINALLY, ARE ET LET’S
ABOUT THIS NEW SERIES.
>> ALL ABOUT THIS WOMAN RAISED
IN AN ORTHODOX JEWISH FAMILY
WHERE HER HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND,
AND EVERYTHING WAS PICKED OUT
FOR HER.
SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DO
CERTAIN THINGS GROWING UP.
SHE HAD TO BE AT HOME AND BE THE
HOUSEWIFE.
WELL, AT AGE 43, SHE DECIDED, I
HAVE TO CHANGE THIS.
SO SHE LEFT THE GROUP AND NEXT
THING YOU KNOW, SHE STARTS THE
SHOE BUSINESS THAT BECOMES
WORLDWIDE AND NOW SHE’S ALL OF A
SUDDEN, HER NAME IS JULIET.
YOU WILL SEE.
>> THERE WAS A LINE YOU SAID
ABOUT HOW 13 YEARS AGO YOU
DIDN’T EXIST, AND JUST WHAT ALL
HAPPENED.
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT
TRANSFORMATION FOR YOU, GETTING
OUT OF THE ONE SITUATION TO ALL
OF A SUDDEN NOW, BOOM, BEING
GLOBAL.
>> SO GREAT QUESTION, GREG.
I CONSIDER MYSELF A TIME
TRAVELER.
>> UH-HUH.
>> THE WORLD THAT I LIVED IN WAS
THE 1800s, RIGHT?
IF YOU THINK ABOUT WOMEN IN THE 1800s, THEY WENT FROM THEIR
1800s, THEY WENT FROM THEIR
FATHER’S HOUSE TO THEIR
HUSBAND’S HOUSE, THEIR PARENTS
CHOSE THEIR MATES.
THEY LEARNED PIANO AND SEWING
BECAUSE THAT WAS THEIR PURPOSE
IN LIFE TO HAVE BABIES AND TO BE OBEDIENT WIVES.
OBEDIENT WIVES.
THAT’S THE WORLD THEY GREW UP IN
EXACTLY.
>> YOU EXPLODED.
TALK ABOUT THIS EMPIRE.
YOU HAVE SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON. >> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
I THINK I WOULD SAY THAT THE TWO
THINGS THAT HAVE PROPELLED ME,
NUMBER ONE, IS I FEEL LIKE I
HAVE LOST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
THE FIRST 43 YEARS OF MY LIFE
WERE STOLEN FROM ME.
I WASN’T ALLOWED TO WORK.
I WASN’T ALLOWED TO DO THE
THINGS I WANTED TO DO, SO I HAVE
NO TIME TO WASTE. AND I HAVE A MISSION.
AND I HAVE A MISSION.
MY MISSION IS TO HELP CREATE AN
ARMY OF FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT
WOMEN.
COME HANG OUT WITH ME! COME HAVE A GLASS OF WINE.
COME HAVE A GLASS OF WINE.
ACTUALLY, I’M ALLERGIC, BUT A
GLASS OF WINE AND SOME WHITE
CHOCOLATE.
>> SOUNDS GOOD.
>> Jason: WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS, GREG?
>> IT’S AN EMPOWERING THING
ABOUT HOW SHE COULD HAVE STAYED
STUCK WHERE SHE WAS, BUT SHE
MOVED ON.
IT IS NOT THE KARDASHIAN’S LIFE
SHOW.
SO IT IS INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY
LIKE FOR WOMEN.
I’D BE WILLING TO SAY. GET A CHANCE TO CHECK IT OUT.
GET A CHANCE TO CHECK IT OUT.
>> Jason: AND THAT’S OUR TIME,
GREG HAVE, A GREAT WEEKEND.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> GOOD SEEING YOU.
I HAVE A 40-YEAR-OLD CAN OF
CHAMPAGNE TO GO ALONG WITH YOUR
