Like when you're connecting flight is on a different airline and suddenly you aren't earning miles on all the miles you're flying. But thanks to the partnership between United Airlines and Air New Zealand, none of that happens. Your status stays your status, your bags get checked once. You earn miles on every mile you fly, and your lounge access carries over. United in Air New Zealand, two airlines, one way to fly. The trailer was great. The release date, forgotten.

What's happening inside the streaming world from the secret requirements that netflix gives filmmakers to a hit movie that two million people watched for free right after this break.

This message is brought to you by raycon. So everybody has a movie inside of them. Andrew everybody has an idea like this could be the next big blockbuster hit. I have one I have an idea for a movie. What is I'm not putting it out there. It's an original idea. So I might steal it. Someone with money and talent and is more creative than me. Isn't about how this woman came from New Jersey and then became the biggest radio star about digital technology. No. Oh, it's actually going to be good.

Thank you for that. Well, Matt Damon is out pitching his new movie called the rip. It's on Netflix. And in some press interviews, he slipped that Netflix tells filmmakers. Now this is inside scoop. They remember this for your movie that they have to repeat the plot three or four times in the initial dialogue. And they also have to have big, big, big huge action sequence within the first five minutes of the movie. For Netflix to be interested in buying and producing it. Yes. Do you know why though? International audiences. No, because people are on their phones while they're watching Netflix. And so since they're on their phones are half paying attention. And they're like, I don't know what's going on here. I'm going to shut this off. Exactly. Okay. So that's why people only watch the first 10 minutes. They're like, okay, well, this is dumb. You know, and but let me tell you something. What's it called when Matt Damon goes searching for through a thrift store? What do you think? Goodwill hunting. Oh, you spoiled it. You only picked his most famous movie to be the punchline. Oh my gosh. And here I was all excited because I was like, this is going to be super funny choke. Okay. What could pretend it didn't happen? No.

All right. Fine. I gave you another shot. You already ruined it for me and everybody else. The millions of listeners here on the Kim Tomato show because after all, I'm America's beloved digital goddess. Yes, Kim. Tomato. Now I have tried at least three or four times to get seats to see the Odyssey. Have you seen it? The movie? Yeah. You're not a week. What do you mean you've tried? It's always full. Every time I want to go. Wow. No, we wanted to go. At least it was like, yeah, I'll go. I know it's a movie you want to see. And then she went and got on the app. And we're going to get tickets. And she's like three hours. I'm not sitting through a movie. That's three hours. So we didn't go. Well, I couldn't find seats. That's crazy. That's what the others are about. Yes, it is. It's really fabulous. It has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. $264 million made opening weekend. So this is a mega hit. Sure. But the reason why I bring this up is that the tickets are expensive. Of course, to go to everything is expensive. I mean, a little popcorn's like 12 bucks. Correct. Well, 2.1 million people watched the whole movie because it was posted on X. That's hilarious. Now I would say they're missing out.

Because this seems like a movie you want to see in theaters, the big screen, the big audio, I max, but 2 million people. That's a lot of money that they're missing out on. And so but they watched the whole movie before somebody took it down. 2 million. Look at that. 3 hour. Did you see the Minecraft update? No. So I don't know how much you know about Minecraft. But once they add something to Minecraft, the users will see how they can manipulate that. Oh, for sure. They've always done that. And they've added color cushions. And the users in three days figured out how to take the colored cushions, connect them to a piston, and have them come in and out. And they've made fully animated movies with the pistons moving the cushions. They put Shrek on a screen in Minecraft just with manipulating cushions. That's phenomenal. People are amazing. That is really phenomenal. Yeah, it took this long first to change the microwave noise.

But Elon Musk says he's not really on board with the movie. So he let it go. That's why he's stealing is actually putting together his own movie Odyssey using Groc. Great. That should be fabulous. And he says it's going to be out by the end of this year. He shared a clip that was supposedly generated by the tool. I saw a clip. It wasn't very good. Most video by AI isn't because he said Odyssey, the movie that everybody's writing about is not really accurate. So he's going to make an accurate version of Odyssey. All right. Well, then we'll watch them both in comparing contrast. Okay. You know, Odyssey is basically a story about a guy who left home. Right. Okay. For 10 years. And never told his wife why. Sure. Accuracy is not the problem. What's the problem? I still waiting for those jokes to start hitting. I told you I'm fire. I'm on fire. Okay. You can admit it. No one's going to make fun of you.
