You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. You can always hit me on Instagram at Later with Moul Kelly. And the box office is not off to a great summer start. Of course, Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us. That should be better, hopefully for box office returns. But this past week was not a really good week. You had If, which was released this week. I guess that was supposed to
be the biggest release of the week. It came in first, but I don't know if it did a lot when you talk about it only did thirty three million domestically, twenty four internationally, total haul of fifty seven million in its first week. I know that they wanted and expected more than just fifty seven million for that movie. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes came in
second with twenty five million. That's a pretty good second week. It is now great a gross two hundred and thirty seven million worldwide after two weeks, So I would say that's a hit. Not a huge hit, but a hit in today's world. Number three Mark Ronner The Strangers Chapter one. Yeah, that made a couple million more than was predicted last week but still not a ton, not a ton, not a ton, but it overperformed expectations.
The Fall Guy comes in at number four with eight million. It's not how would you describe it, It's one hundred and twenty seven million worldwide, nothing to sneeze at, but I know they were hoping for more. Well, I think words getting around that it's an awful movie. Well, too bad. Yeah, and I like Ryan Gosling. I just don't know if I see him as an action star. But see this was supposed to be a comedic action star playing off of his supposed good looks and making fun.
I mean, suppose he's a good look okay, no, no, no, no, okay, playing off of his good looks but making him a hapless here, almost like Chris Hemsworth in you know some of his movies that he's been in. Well, he doesn't have Hymnsworth to see, but he thinks he does. Oh no, no, no, Why are you a Ryan Gosling hater? I think you just hate all guys with named Ryan Ryan
Johnson. Well, we've established that Tuala likes dudes with biker mustaches. Today, that means he likes you exactly, That's exactly right, that's because I want you to keep the stash in the little soup cooler. Yeah, souper cooler. Well, the little triangle into the little Yeah. Okay, well we've just the point is we're talking about Tuala's taste. So Ryan Gosling is not his cup of tea, clearly. The fall Guy came in at number four. Number five is Challengers. I said, I don't have any desire
to see the movies, just not for me. It's not directed to me. I guess it's still doing moderately. Well, it's done seventy eight million worldwide. Let me see the budget on this. Yeah, that couldn't have cost that much to make. Yeah, No, fifty five million, so it's it's making money at this point. Yeah, I would have seen because
they didn't spend a lot on advertisements, that's for sure. We reviewed that this past weekend on the legendary Saturday and Night s of the Nerd Around Table, and it is definitely not a film we want to seek for us at all. Okay, that's what I thought. Coming in at number six is Back to Black. Anybody know what that was? An Amy Winehouse film? Oh? Okay, I may check that out eventually Tarot at number seven.
Number eight Godzilla x Kong the New Empire is still hanging around. Well, there's not a lot of competition, so yeah, it's easy for it to stay in the top ten. It's grossed five hundred and sixty three million worldwide. But this has to be repeat viewing. No one is going to see it for the first time this past weekend, I guess. So it's been
out eight weeks. I mean that's a fair assumption at this point. Number nine The Blue Angels, it was only in two hundred and twenty seven theaters but a gross one point four million, and number ten still hanging around. Civil War gross one one million, for a total of sixty seven million domestically and one hundred and eleven million overall. I can't remember what the budget is,
but I know it's it's made its money back. So child watched the TV at home this past week and I think it was the streaming weekend. Yeah, Civil War Batchet was fifteen million, so it too is making money as well. This weekend, the crew is supposed to go see Furiosa together. Yes Friday. I don't know, Stephan, are you going? Yes, he's going The hell you talking. I'm asking him. I don't know. He has no choice. I'm going, okay, Marky, you going yeah, I'm in. Okay, I'm in. I'm gonna start snoring,
but I'm in. No, you're going to take your old man nap during the day next to in the ribs. Okay, start to hear you snore. I did watch Fury Road again just to bring myself up to date on the character. I still didn't like the movie. I thought visually it was fantastic. The storyline just didn't. It just didn't do it for me. It didn't make any sense. I'm sorry. Apart from the visual thing, which is the entire movie, you're for it. No, I like the
visual the world that it built and created that the existed in. I didn't buy Tom Hardy as mad Max. That's part of it. He wasn't really the focus of it, and that disappointed me too. I'll tell you. When I first saw that movie, it reminded me of The Wolf of Wall Street, which is I can't believe this is something made by a guy at that age, because it's exhausting me just to watch it. And maybe that's part of it. Mark, I think you hit a good point where it's
not Mad Max's story. It's not about Max. It's a part of well, he's part of the story. He's dealing with his own demons. But the central figure is obviously Furiosa and her character arc. There is no Max character arc. No. I respect whatever George Miller does. He's the director and he's he's the former doctor who made Mad Max way back in what nineteen seventy nine. I trust him, but I would like to see more of
the actual Mad Max. But what do you do? Since you know mel Gibson's kind of radioactive at this point, it didn't have to be mel Gibson. I think you could have structured that story and also cast it in a way which was more consistent. Because when you have Mad Max the big letters than Fury Road, I'm thinking it's going to be about Mad Max. It starts out about Mad Max, and then you realize, no, it's Furiosa's story, Fury Road, Furiosa's road. Now, if they would have cast
a grizzled old mel Gibson could have worked. That could have been his his comeback. But and that's the thing they told it. It's almost like they rebooted the series without rebooting the series. It took place I guess sometime between Beyond a Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome because they recreate the scene in which the Interceptor is taken out at the at the beginning of the movie. So I understood where in the timeline it was. But I think it would have worked
that they didn't try to tell that story. They told a completely new story with an older Max. Even Mel Gibson, I would have been fine with that. It's it's an apocalypse, it's dystopian. He doesn't have to be a young Max anymore, like they did with Sylvester Stallone. And what was the movie the most recent he did, Oh that stupid one where he was a superhero. No, no, no, no, it's I guess it was Rambo Rambo Part seven. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
John Rambo. Yeah that was Yeah, that was horrified. Yeah. It's okay to have the star age near the end of their life and get to tell the story from that vantage point. I would have been okay with that. But and I like, I really do like Tom Hardy's an actor. I just didn't like him as Mad Max. Now he really didn't nail it and that's the guy who you look at all the things he's done and you think he can do anything. How could he possibly have whifted on Mad Max.
I don't think it was his fault actually, because he was performing as required, he did the script. He I think you put this on George Miller for wanting to kind of shift away from the Max character, which everybody wants to see right right, which means we're going to see what on Friday. We're gonna go and see Furiosa. So no Max, no Max,
No, this is Furiosa. And from my understanding, he got a seven minute standing applause at the cons which is which is a bunch of uptight you know, draws in a bunch reviewers who were standing on their feet applauding it how good it was story, action, and of course the gorgeous cinematography. You will be engrossed. Bo okay, all right, as long as you're buying the food too. The hell it's lated with mo Kelly. We have to turn this co. We have to talk about Diddy's apology and everything wrong
with it, and I do mean everything. I am six forty life everywhere in the I Heeartradio Apple, You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. And we told you about Diddy before the rest of the world told you about Diddy. We told you about his predilection for violence, before the world told you about his issues, before the video came out. We told you now that the video is out. I say it's probably one of many. But because of that video, the conversation has changed
on some level. It forced Ditty to respond, and he responded with this apology. Just in case you haven't heard it. I think I need to play it to bring everyone up to date, so we're all at the same starting point. It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. You gotta do that. I was grawed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. Disgusted.
I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now and went and I saw our professional help God to go into therapy and going to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better mansit every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry. Okay, HEREM just general basic observation. Sai. I'm gonna bring in to Alla sharp as well. He didn't apologize directly to Cassie Ventura because when he says that video, there's only one video in
question, is Cassie Ventura. He says that he makes no excuses and he takes full responsibility. That is a lie because every day up until this video was released his apology video, he had denied Cassie's allegations, said that she was out for money. So he is not in any way taking full responsibility. You can't say you take full responsibility while also paying fifty thousand dollars for
that video to be buried. That's not taking full responsibility. And when he used the apology video to talk about his dark journey, he went to some dark places. He had gone to seek treatment, He went to rehab. No one gets a damn about that. It's not about you, but he made it about him. That's why he doesn't get it. It's insincere, it's a lie, and it's a study in crisis pr at best. And I don't think anyone should be fooled by it. And if you're supporting Diddy
or defending Didty, I think there's something wrong with you. This video has pissed me off since the moment I saw it, because it's clear that he is not sorry. He is sorry that he got caught because, as you said, he had been denying this the whole time. You say you were disgusted, then in you're discussed now where you discussed it at the alleged payment that you made to hide it, without addressing the actual actual offense that was
committed in this video. You've actually done nothing good. You've done no no justice to Cassie. You've done nothing for anyone who may have had won to believe this young lady who then in turn said, oh well, you know, we don't know what really happened, and who believed she was out for money. You dogged her out and then this video comes out. Now you're sorry. You're not actually sorry because this video is just directed to you and I. It's not directed to her. You don't have to do a video
to apologize to her. That's a phone call, that's a beas, that's something to her to put out this video that's a public apology because you're trying to what just save your brand, You're trying to keep money in your pocket. This is the height of disrespect. This is why the Me too movement movement within the music industry is going full bore ahead because of this. This is that thing that says, aha, I told you this was going on. You didn't believe us. Here it is, and there are other accusers
related to Diddy. Of course, he didn't make any acknowledgement of them either. He was making an apology because of what was seen in the video, allegedly without being specific as to what in the video or who was in the video. I can't take him seriously because it denies all his actions up until this point. If you were to say, hey, I had a conversation with Cassie the other day because she deserved to have a personal apology, and
I might have looked at this just a little bit differently. But since he paid, I'm just throwing a number out there. Let's say he paid fifteen million dollars for Cassie to remain quiet, not get an apology, but further slander her name. Says to me, you are far worse than anything depicted in this apology video. You didn't hit rock bottom, you didn't seek out any type of forgiveness, or you're not necessarily trying to be a better person.
You're the exact g dam person you worried yesterday. The only thing that's different now is you realize that you can't deny the video anymore. Beyond that, there is something to be said about people who now even still want to deny the Well, there was people like this, it's Cgi, it's Ai, people who say, ah, but what about there's still the but what about? And still those who want to victim blame Cassie, And there's a lot to be said about them. Oh, there's more to say. In
fact, we're going to carry this over to the next segment. There is more to say about not only Diddy, but the environment which allowed Diddy to thrive, and also the the excuse makers in the wake of this video, which is only proving our point where you don't care about Cassie. You're not trying to protect Cassie, You're trying to protect Ditty and that's all together sick. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Latam Latam Latam latafim six forty. It's The Later with Mo Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to continue our conversation regarding Diddy his recent apology earlier today. I'm gonna play it again so you can hear it because we've been commenting around it. But just for reference sake, he doesn't mention Cassie's name. He doesn't mention specifically what he did. He doesn't acknowledge
that there are other accusers who've come forward. He doesn't acknowledge that he denied Cassie and said that she was making this up, that she was out for money up until this point through his lawyers and publicists, he says that he was sympathy chasing. I would say he was talking about how he's in a dark place, how he went to rehab, he had to get help. He said he was effed up. Yeah, except taking full responsibility. He
said he took full responsibility. But he does acknowledge that he paid to have the video buried and so forth. But here is his apology again. It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. Sometimes you just want to do that. I was far up still, I mean, I had rock bottom doubt it that. I make no excuses. You're making them, not behavior on that video. It's inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my ashes in that video. The woy din't you try to bury disgusted?
I am too. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusting now now that is a lie, a complete lie. When and I saw that professional help. When last night I had to go into therapy, we're going to rehab. Oh it's about you now had to asked God for his mercy and grace because you're the victim, not Cassier any of the other accusers. Grand pause for dramatic effects. I'm so sorry. No you're not. You wouldn't even say her name. But I'm committed to be a better mansion
every day. Oh so you won't be the woman every single day forgiveness. I'm truly sorry. It's not a good actor, not a good actor at all. Tulla. I look at this one way. I think of it as a guy who worked in the business. I think of it as a guy because we're at the exact same age. We're days apart in age, and we worked contemporaries during the same time in the business. So I look at it one way, but I don't look at it as a father of
a daughter. Oh trust and believe. When I saw the video, all I could think about is is how would I react if that was my daughter in that video? And I think it's things like that that upset me so much. When I looked on social media and I saw all of the but whatabouts and all of those who I thought I knew, people I thought I knew trying to make excuses and trying to say, oh, you know,
you guys are being too hard on him. He's trying to be better, he's apologizing, And to me, that's the type of lie that kept R. Kelly and what he was doing to young women and even allegedly some young men going for so long. It is what allowed the likes of a Harvey Weinstein to perpetrate what he was doing for so long when women were coming forward, when women were coming forward against Bill Cosby and no one was believing him. Is because of that, and that is what bothers me the most.
This culture, this thing that happens with entertainment where you want to first blame the victim and believe because you look up to because you were vere, because you're a fan. It is almost impossible for you to see them who they are and you don't know these people. But this is even after the video. We're not having a conversation as the abstract where you have her account and you have his account and you're not exactly who you want to believe because there's
no concrete evidence in front of you. And then you have the video and the truth that he paid to bury the video. It's like, there's nothing more to this. This is this is from today. The videos day and a half old. Now this is from this morning. And I'm like, oh, this is a problem. This is a real problem that people are so willing to want to want to assign blame to a woman first. And
this is again why more people don't come out. If you're not going to be believed, you're you're gonna have a finger point in You're gonna be destroyed, and your credibility is gonna be destroyed. It it makes it harder for those who do have the truth to come forward. And I get it. There's been a whole pushback against me too movement where there are some who just
came out and they're saying, these women just want revenge. Okay, okay, you're saying that these women who are saying that they were victimized want revenge. And I just sometimes I have to look at that and say, I don't care how much time has gone by. If something is egregious as what many of these women have claimed happened to you, would you not live and every day wanting your revenge? And when you get that opportunity to get it, don't you want to carry it out to the fullest. But not only
that, Let's talk about the specifics of Cassie's allegations. Her allegations included that Puffy frequently threatened her life. Puffy Diddy whatever you want to call him, had blown up some other guy's car. There was a real threat, ongoing
threat. Obviously, there was a threat of violence within the relationship, but over and above and beyond just the physical abuse of mortality, of putting her life in mortal danger with Ditty. And I'm not going to get into some of the other rumors and any window out there regarding other people who dated Diddy, but I will say this, and we had talked about this when this story at first had first broke broken, that the threat of violence was real.
We're not talking about Bill Cosby possibly ruined your career. We're talking about someone who might have you killed. Big difference. So you may not come forward then, but you may come forward seven eight years later when an opportunity or a law presents itself to give you that chance. And here's something else we told you this was coming. It's now here. I'm gonna tell you
where all this is going. There're gonna be more videos, They're gonna be more women who are gonna come forward because of this, and they're gonna be more denials. Why Because it was true with Bill Cosby, it was true with R. Kelly, it wasn't ever just one person. It was true with Harvey Weinstein, it was never just one person. And you And what did I say then? And I'll say it now. All this, one hundred percent of this has to be untrue for Dinny to be innocent, Well,
we already got a video, so that's not true. We know that he's a serial abuser. And also what this does not talk about, but it's in Cassie's lawsuit, the precipitating event which happened prior to what we saw in the video. She was leaving the hotel room because he gave her a black eye. I punched her in the face in the moments prior to that video. She was trying to get out. She was already she had already
been beaten that day. And there's no talent. How many other beatings which weren't on video, I don't know, ten twenty, I don't know how many. We have to assume there are plenty, because if a man is willing to do that in plain view of a camera in a public space in a hotel, well, we know what he was doing. We can only imagine what he was doing behind closed doors. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty before we get out of here.
I think most people have fond memories, not all, but most people have fond memories of their mother. We had Mother's Day not too recently or relatively recently, and I understand people can have complicated relationships with mothers and complicated memories. But I tend to think we all can agree on one thing. Don't take your mother to the strip club with you. She's probably not the best road dog in that regard. I mean that Wiz Khalifa, who's a rapper.
You've recently sat down for an interview with Jennifer Hudson on her daytime television show, and it seems that Wiz Khalifa is not of the same mind as you, me and everyone else. I don't know if this is Oedipus complex, but it's right next door. And Mother's say, just passed, So you got you do anything special with your mom? My mom Mother's day every day for my mom. Pech's a superstar. That's her name. Everybody know her as Peach. If you meet her, you'll fall in love with her.
So every day it's her day. What's the best fun y'all ever had hanging out? Man, Me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip club together. We went to Mexico, Mama, Yeah we went to together. Yeah, we do everything like. That's not relationship. I don't I don't love the y'all's relationship. There's something wrong with that. I have never in my life thought of strip club and mother in the same sentence,
much less at the same time, same location. You would think strip club inspires certain chemical reactions inside of you, and mother kills all those chemical reactions inside of you. I don't want to think of table dance and mom in the same headspace ever, Norman Bates, Please don't. I don't know. It's like usually I would say, if it works for you, it works for you. No, there's something wrong with that. I'm being judgmental now, okay, eh, ooh ooh bold stand to take your You're against
going to strip clubs with your mom? Yes, I'm I wonder if she, if a mom, would nag you if she didn't feel like you were tipping properly. Well, that's not how you make it, Rain. I want to know. I want to know how you even broach that subject. Honey, where are you going tonight? Me and the fellas want to go to the strip club? Oh? Can I come? Sure? Why not? No? Did you wash your hands when you came back from the champagne room? So every day it's her day. What's the best fun y'all ever
had? Hanging out? Man? Me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip club together. We went to Mexico. Wait it, strip club in Mexico are not comparable? Okay, Like they're running Outlas, We went to the strip club, We went to the grocery store, then we went to Disneyland. Then we went to Mexico. You should have stopped at strip club. There's really nothing to say after strip club. Man, Me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip club together,
We went to Mexico. No, that's not something you cheer. That's not said. You don't say, go mom on that. You say, what's wrong with you? Son? The follow up question is isn't it uncomfortable to have your mother at a strip club with you? That's not a bonding experience. I thought the follow up question should be have you tried going to Amsterdam with your mom? That doesn't seem as weird if you're going there just for the drugs. Now, if you're trying to go to the red light district,
that might be kind of weird. It is a package deal, I'm afraid. Oh it is okay. Well, I've never been. I've only heard of course. Of course, of course, nobody's putting me on a polygraph here. No, if that's your story, I'll buy it. I've done some stuff in my day, of course, and I will claim all the stuff that I've done I'm not claiming that I've never done that. The prosecution rest. Speaking of resting, have you noticed how quiet Tawala and Stefan
are, I'll say crickets. It's almost like they don't want to attention to themselves because they don't want to have to answer that question. The man, me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip Cloud together. Stephan has not set a p not a word. Twala, not a word. Man, Me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip Cloud together. No, I will say this. Some say no, I will say this. Today is my mother's birthday. Happy birthday, Mom,
thank you for being an art and supporter of the lad with Kelly. We will not be going to the strip off, I promise being my mom will not be going to make it rain. But love you, mama, Thank you for bringing me into this world. Yeah no, no, no, no, them saying your mother absolutely as far as celebrating her birthday, Yeah no, no, I'm saying no to the strip clap. Yeah, that's that's That's never been something I've been like, Hey, mom, want to
go to Peanuts with me? Oh? Well, have you noticed this stuff? Still said a word. He's shaking I'm just saying that, like an obvious separation of lives right there. It shouldn't be. Not for wes Kalif apparently not. I've never heard that in my life and then go on national television and brag about it. Brag, not mention it, but brag about it. Man, me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip club together. He started there. He need to like build up to
us. Man, we go to the park together, we go grocery shop together, we'll go to the museum every once in a while, we'll end up at the strip club. No, no, no, he started with the strip club, like that's the top of the list, that's most important. That's what he probably did on Mother's Day. Man, me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip club together. We went to Mexico and went to the strip club in Mexico. Honestly, what mom doesn't
love a nice lap dance? Come on, I actually have a friend who took her daughter to the strip club with her. Like when she goes to the strip club, she takes her daughter. Soon as her daughter turned twenty one, she started taking her to the strip club with her. Look, this is something wrong with you. Folks, they's something wrong with that is weird. Something wrong with you, that's weird. K if I AM six forty were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Common sense left California a long
