Key takeaways 6
Kayn has signed a contract for a new football podcast featuring players and analysts, set to launch around the start of the NFL season, though specific details are under embargo.
The movie 'Onslaught' received a 76% Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics comparing its style to 80s action films by John Carpenter and James Cameron; Kayn notes the film is intentionally over-the-top and violent but fun.
Ridley Scott's recent films like 'Gladiator 2' and 'Napoleon' have underperformed critically or commercially compared to his classics like 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner', though he remains active at age 88.
AI is rapidly impacting the legal profession, with one attorney client replacing his lawyer's research and brief-writing services with AI tools, signaling potential job displacement in grunt work.
Modern warfare in Ukraine involves drone technology that creates an 'Orwellian' psychological effect on soldiers, similar to the 'hunter-killer' drones in 'The Terminator'.
Kayn mentions he was screen-tested by director Peter Yates for a role in the film 'Crawl' (also known as 'Breaking Away') in England when he was in his early 20s, but did not get the part.

“It's like a throwback 80s action movie. So, it's like the vibe of it is great and the music is great, but it is in that kind of 80s um style that I think people might not get if they don't like those kind of movies. Like, it's it's not it's like a little silly, you know? It's like uh over the top almost, a little extreme, you know?”
▶ 8:45Kayn describing the specific aesthetic and tone of his movie 'Onslaught' to explain why some viewers might find it silly while others appreciate the homage.
“I think that by beating like when the light turns yellow and that car being h being so fast, I think I've so far in two years have probably saved like an hour of my life, sitting at red lights because I can just soon as it turns yellow, I can whip through it and get get through it before I can see that it's red.”
▶ 17:22Jim joking about how driving his fast Honda Type R allows him to beat yellow lights in Los Angeles traffic.
“The term magical negro is a trope in American cinema. The magical negro is a supporting stock character who comes to the aid usually of the white protagonist. Magical negro characters often possess special insight or mystical powers.”
▶ 41:24Jim explaining the definition of the 'magical negro' trope while discussing the movie 'By Any Means'.
“I think that that will start gearing up and you know once I get my hands on the script is like an actor's dream is when they get their hands on the script, you know, because that's when you start playing.”
Jim expressing excitement about potentially working with Adam again on a new project once he receives the screenplay.
