Speaker 2 I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong.

Speaker 2 Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time.

Speaker 2 I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks. Don't learn the hard way, like I did.

Speaker 5 You're listening to Comedy Central.

Speaker 6 From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only source for news.
This is the Daily Journal with your host, Jordan Club.

Speaker 6 Welcome to Daily Show. I'm Jordan Clepper.
We got so much to talk about tonight. The Unabomber gets some weird-ass Google alerts.
MAGA gets a breakup text.

Speaker 6 And bad news, Elon Musk has invited us all to a party. So, let's get into the headlines.

Speaker 6 Let's kick things off with America's big, beautiful boss, Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 He was at a conference in Pennsylvania yesterday to discuss AI, his go-to technology for giving Jessica Rabbit three giant booze.

Speaker 6 And if you're curious what the Commander-in-Chief's thoughts were about the technology that will change our future, too bad. He decided to weave.

Speaker 7 When I first heard about AI, you know, it's not my thing. Although my uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever, he was the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT.

Speaker 7 Three degrees in

Speaker 8 nuclear, chemical, and math.

Speaker 7 That's a smart man.

Speaker 6 That's Paul's right there.

Speaker 6 I hate to be nitpicky, but I'm a stickler for facts.

Speaker 6 Yes, Trump's uncle was a famous MIT professor, but he wasn't the longest-serving professor in MIT history, and he didn't have a degree in nuclear or chemical or

Speaker 6 Again, sorry to nitpick. You were saying about your genius uncle.

Speaker 7 Kaczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There's very little difference between a madman and a genius.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 6 We went from zero to Unabomber like that.

Speaker 6 Okay, I don't want to be that guy, but it's... unlikely that the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was a student of Trump's uncle at MIT because

Speaker 6 Kaczynski never went to MIT.

Speaker 6 Now, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe Trump just misspoke, made a slip. I mean, who among us hasn't accidentally told people that our uncle taught the Unabomber?

Speaker 6 I once told people my Nana gave piano lessons to John Wayne Gacy.

Speaker 6 Not sure why, I don't know, it just came out. I was probably nervous.

Speaker 6 The problem, the problem with this little fib is that it was the cornerstone of an entire fantasy conversation Trump had with his uncle.

Speaker 7 What kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Dr. John Trump? He said, what kind of a student? Manny said, seriously good.

Speaker 7 He said he'd correct, he'd go around correcting everybody, but it didn't work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 6 An amazing story that once again absolutely never happened.

Speaker 6 Because nobody knew who Kaczynski was until 1996, and Trump's uncle died in 1985.

Speaker 6 What I'm saying is, isn't it great that we finally have a president whose brain works perfectly?

Speaker 6 But it's not surprising that Trump would want to escape into a fantastical world of Unabomber fan fiction right now.

Speaker 6 Because back in the real world, he's still got all his supporters breathing down his neck to release the Epstein files. And no matter what Trump does, he just can't get them to shut up about it.

Speaker 10 I know you urge people to move on, but I'm curious: why do you think your supporters, in particular, have been so interested in the Epstein story? I don't understand.

Speaker 10 I don't understand about how it's been handled. I don't understand it.
Why they would be so interested.

Speaker 10 He's dead for a long time.

Speaker 10 He was never a big factor in terms of life.

Speaker 6 Not the guy you call to give a eulogy. eulogy.

Speaker 6 Also, you don't have to like Epstein, but he clearly was a big factor in terms of life. He's America's most famous sex criminal, which is quite a competitive category.

Speaker 6 This really highlights Trump's dilemma. He's desperate to tamp down the drama, but his entire career has only taught him to heighten the drama.

Speaker 6 I mean, you can't spend your whole life as the messy bitch from a reality show and then suddenly say, can we have some decorum here, please?

Speaker 6 Because this does not sound like Donald Trump.

Speaker 10 But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff.
It's sordid, but it's boring.

Speaker 6 It's boring! Oh, yeah, what's interesting about a global pedophile sex ring that involves the richest people in the world that I might be covering up in my own involvement in? Snooze alerts!

Speaker 6 Anyway, who wants to hear about my copper tariffs? That's juicy.

Speaker 6 So, MAGA diehards, you've heard your dear leader. Epstein's just a boring dead guy who no one cares about.
I'm sure you'll join him in saying it's time to move on. Nothing more to see here.

Speaker 2 You should put everything out there and let the people decide it.

Speaker 12 I think that the American people need to see what's in there. And that's not hard to understand.

Speaker 8 Do you think there needs to be more transparency? You don't believe what the Justice Department is saying?

Speaker 13 I don't know. No, I don't.
I don't. I think I don't.

Speaker 13 I don't trust him.

Speaker 6 Oh, man.

Speaker 6 That guy is flat out broken.

Speaker 6 I don't trust nothing no more. I'm going to go just fill my pocket with rocks and walk into the sea.
Tell Manu Raju I love him. I mean, things are so bad, even Lauren Bobert is demanding answers.

Speaker 6 Although being Lauren Bobert,

Speaker 6 she has a particular way of putting it.

Speaker 14 Of course we want answers. No one is satisfied with what has been received or lack thereof.
No one is satisfied with the rollout of this.

Speaker 6 Yes, Mr. President.
If Lauren Bobert was in charge, you better believe she would leave people satisfied.

Speaker 6 She.

Speaker 6 She would not be jerking everyone around

Speaker 6 and then leaving them frustrated like you. No, sir, with her, there would be a complete finish.

Speaker 6 This is a shocking turn of events for Donald Trump. His own sycophants are breaking ranks with him, and even worse, they are demanding accountability.

Speaker 14 I think moving forward, we need a special counsel. That has got to happen.
I want answers,

Speaker 14 and maybe that takes that special counsel to do so. Maybe Matt Gates can lead the special counsel.

Speaker 6 You want Matt Gates to investigate underage sex trafficking?

Speaker 6 Because it makes sense in a sort of game-recognized game way.

Speaker 6 I can see Matt Gates pulling up to R. Kelly's house saying, I'm putting together a team.

Speaker 6 Also, legally, I have to introduce myself.

Speaker 6 And this special counsel thing might have been the last straw because by this morning, Trump had absolutely lost it on his supporters.

Speaker 15 He posted this morning. He said, My past supporters have bought into this quote bullshit hook line and sinker.

Speaker 15 Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success because I don't want their support anymore.

Speaker 6 God damn, he win.

Speaker 6 He wins. Full messy bitch.

Speaker 6 If you can't handle me at my sex crimes cover-up, you don't deserve me at my alligator concentration camps, you sluts.

Speaker 6 Oh.

Speaker 6 Ugh.

Speaker 6 Ugh.

Speaker 6 Okay. All right.
So,

Speaker 6 Trump is in a brutal spot right now. But like any good reality show producer knows, always leave room for reconciliation.
And Trump might have done that today. Mr.

Speaker 17 President, will you ask Attorney General Pamboni to release more documents to finally put this controversy to bed?

Speaker 7 Whatever is credible, she can release.

Speaker 7 If a document is credible, if a document's there that is credible, she can release.

Speaker 6 You hear that?

Speaker 6 Those documents are coming, or Donald Trump's uncle wasn't Ted Kaczynski's favorite teacher.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 6 For more on the continuing Epstein scandal, we go to the Department of Justice and our senior pedophile correspondent, Grace Kulin-Schmitz.

Speaker 19 Wait, senior pedophile correspondent?

Speaker 20 I didn't know I got a title bump.

Speaker 6 You're doing great work, Grace. So what? What's the latest?

Speaker 19 Huge news, Jordan. Pam Bondi has just found some brand new recordings, just like Donald Trump asked.
And not only are they credible, they're incredible.

Speaker 6 That's huge.

Speaker 6 Do you have any insight as to where they found them?

Speaker 19 In between the DOJ's couch cushions.

Speaker 16 Always the last place you look. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 18 Hi, I'm Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 Hi, I'm Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 22 Nice to meet you for the first time.

Speaker 18 Likewise, what are you up to today on this? The first day we've ever met. I'm gonna go kill myself.

Speaker 6 Okay, bye.

Speaker 6 Wow!

Speaker 6 Case closed, credibility accredited.

Speaker 6 Grace, there's, I mean, there's no way that was real. Trump and Epstein have known each other for years.
There's plenty of pictures of them together.

Speaker 19 You mean like these credible pictures that Pam Bondi just found in the Department of Justice's Lost and Found box?

Speaker 19 See, that is an undoctored photo where Epstein is asking if Trump wants to do pedo stuff, and Trump clearly says no, thank you.

Speaker 20 Trump exonerated credibility credimes.

Speaker 6 Okay, Grace, of course, it was Doctor. There are speech bubbles.
It doesn't seem suspicious that all this so-called evidence makes Trump look good.

Speaker 19 That's not true. Some of the evidence makes other people look bad.
Remember that missing minute from the prison camera the night Epstein died?

Speaker 19 Pam Bondi just found the footage at the DOJ in a DVD case for Shallow Hal.

Speaker 19 And it is damming.

Speaker 6 Time to murder Epstein.

Speaker 6 I knew it.

Speaker 23 I knew Hillary was a witch.

Speaker 19 Even when I voted for her, I said this witch is gonna kill Jeffrey Epstein in prison.

Speaker 6 Grace, Grace, that's clearly fake. Her legs didn't even bend.

Speaker 19 Stop policing women's bodies.

Speaker 19 What would convince you, you misogynist, if she smiled more?

Speaker 6 I just don't want fake files.

Speaker 19 Okay, fine. This next one's file name was labeled Real Epstein Audio.
Underscore real underscore not fake. Can you give this one a chance?

Speaker 11 Hey, Donald. I know you've said repeatedly that you don't want to come to my sex crime island because you love your current wife, but I'll be there all week.
Check out who's with me.

Speaker 6 It's me, future Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Speaker 11 The only thing I love more than sex crimes is not lowering interest rates.

Speaker 8 And I'm Zoron Mom Donnie.

Speaker 6 I suck.

Speaker 19 You want to apologize to me now, Clepper?

Speaker 6 No, no, none of that was real.

Speaker 19 I guess no amount of evidence will convince you. You sound crazy.
Hold on. Sorry.
I'm getting a call.

Speaker 19 Yellow.

Speaker 21 It's Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 6 No, it's not. Jeffrey Epstein is very much dead.

Speaker 19 Jordan, I'm on the phone.

Speaker 6 Okay. Let me talk to him.
Put him on speakerphone. Okay, okay.

Speaker 19 Jeffrey,

Speaker 24 he just told me he killed himself again.

Speaker 19 Thanks a lot, Jordan.

Speaker 6 Senior pedophile correspondent Grace Coolidgeman, everyone.

Speaker 6 We come back, we find out who's in the America Party. Don't go away.

Speaker 25 Welcome back to the Daily Show.

Speaker 6 The Modga Coalition is in danger of splintering, so Michael Costa hit the streets to find out if New Yorkers are interested in a new option.

Speaker 8 Recently, genius tech billionaire Elon Musk dropped another political bombshell.

Speaker 6 Elon Musk wants to start a new political party.

Speaker 8 So I asked New Yorkers how they felt about Elon's latest project. Have you heard the news that Elon Musk is creating a third party? How excited are you?

Speaker 6 Not at all.

Speaker 8 That's terrifying. There are currently over 400 third political parties.

Speaker 8 What would attract you to Elon Musk's America Party? Nothing. How excited, Helen, are you about Elon Musk's third party, America Party?

Speaker 28 I'm not excited that it's Elon Musk. Okay.
I don't like Elon Musk. I don't think people relate to him.

Speaker 8 How excited are you about Elon Musk's America Party?

Speaker 6 I'm ecstatic for it. I love it.
Tell me why.

Speaker 6 Honestly, I haven't really looked into it very much.

Speaker 8 Which party platform of Elon Musk do you support the most?

Speaker 8 Wait, sorry, can you repeat that? Give me some options of Elon Musk's platform. Anti-Semitism.
I do not support anti-Semitism. White supremacy.
I don't support white supremacy.

Speaker 8 Inseminating random women through the mail.

Speaker 8 Impregnating women through the mail.

Speaker 8 Yay or nay. Sex.
Yeah, sex through the mail.

Speaker 8 I know you like sex, bro. What do you think an Elon Musk party would stand for?

Speaker 16 Tax cuts for billionaires,

Speaker 28 eliminating some some government institutions that have done some really good in our society.

Speaker 8 And you're against that?

Speaker 28 I am against that.

Speaker 8 Do you think Elon has enough support? I mean, it seems like he has a lot of support, especially from the youth. I'd say most of America has kind of turned on him at this point.

Speaker 8 He's got about 50 kids scattered all around the country. He probably has at least half of them that support him.
Maybe 10. Well, the one that he uses as a human shield.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, from his own loins, I guess you could say he's probably got a few supporters. Tesla,

Speaker 8 you excited about Elon's new third party?

Speaker 8 Let me show you some potential logos

Speaker 8 for this party.

Speaker 8 What do you think works here?

Speaker 6 Would that be a good logo?

Speaker 8 No. No? Elon's showing his belly? What about that one? No, that's just fascist.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 8 This is him wearing two different hats. That's just...

Speaker 4 That's not working for you?

Speaker 6 Idiotic.

Speaker 8 Here's a SpaceX rocket exploding, a bag of ketamine, and a Tesla running over a child. Which do you think is the best logo? I think we go with the bag of ketamine.
Hell yeah, bro.

Speaker 8 You like the the party too, huh?

Speaker 8 Finally, the third-party symbol everyone can get behind.

Speaker 6 My guest tonight is a writer and director who's making her theatrical feature debut with I Know What You Did Last Summer. Please welcome Jennifer Caden Robinson.

Speaker 6 First of all, congratulations on your theatrical feature directing debut.

Speaker 32 Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 Very exciting, yes. Thank you.
The internet is a buzz. We've got a slasher film on our hands.
Yes. Yes, are you excited?

Speaker 24 I'm very excited. I'm very excited.
I'm like slightly nervous.

Speaker 26 Yes.

Speaker 33 Because

Speaker 33 box office. And you gotta like do well.

Speaker 6 You're already thinking about that. Of course I'm thinking about that.
Thinking about what is my number, what's my bottom line. No enjoyment.

Speaker 34 No, no, no. It's not what's my bottom line.
It's just like you just want people to love it.

Speaker 26 You want?

Speaker 35 You work so hard on it. We all work so hard on it.

Speaker 36 So I hope that people go out to the theaters and enjoy it.

Speaker 6 I love it. Well, this is, I mean, there's a lot of love around this franchise, right? I think like you started, your first film, Do Revenge, was sort of a...
Sex or my second film. Second film.

Speaker 6 Congratulations. Your second film, Do Revenge, sort of an homage to 90s films,

Speaker 6 Cruel Intentions. What is it about the 90s that interests you so much?

Speaker 20 I mean, I feel like...

Speaker 16 My love of film was forged in the blanket forts of middle school sleepovers.

Speaker 6 You know what I mean?

Speaker 26 Like, it's like I could lie and go into the criterion closet and, you know, look at any more bourbon films. But But, like, I just watched Clueless 100 times and I was like, God, I want to make movies.

Speaker 6 There's not enough of that happening inside the Criterion Closet, right? You know, everybody becomes their most important thing.

Speaker 36 I think Clueless is in the Criterion Closet.

Speaker 20 Is that right?

Speaker 6 I think it is. Yeah.
Who's picking it, though? You know, me. You need to, right? Yeah.
Screw you, Michael Shannon, being all pretentious, walking in there. Me.

Speaker 6 Pick out Clueless like a badass. Yeah.
Yeah. How did you get involved with I Know What You Did Last Summer?

Speaker 24 Sony came to me and they said.

Speaker 6 Is that a person?

Speaker 23 Sony, yes.

Speaker 32 It was Mr. It was Mr.
Sony.

Speaker 6 mr. Sony mr.
Sony well I've been trying to get a meeting with mr. Paramount for years yes yes

Speaker 35 I understand he's hard to get a hold of he's never called me mr.

Speaker 21 Sony called me nice actually my heir at the Sony Corporation called me and said would you like to reboot I know what you did last summer and I think before she finished the title I said yes yeah because you were already a fan yeah huge fan did you I mean

Speaker 6 I don't want to get into age you know you shouldn't ask somebody's your age I wasn't alive when when the first movie was. You weren't alive when the first time.

Speaker 6 I didn't want to say that, but you were an embryo after that.

Speaker 23 I guess that it was a good title.

Speaker 6 So what was your relationship with the movie before that?

Speaker 34 I mean, I watched it 1,000 times.

Speaker 6 Did you not go to school when you were young? No, I just...

Speaker 23 It was sleepovers and movies.

Speaker 24 That was it.

Speaker 6 Just constantly watching those movies. Yeah, that was it.

Speaker 36 That was it.

Speaker 6 That's all I did. They bring you this film, which you also co-wrote as well.
I did. Yes, I'm fascinated with a film like this.
It feels like

Speaker 6 part of what an audience wants and part of what is being asked about a film like this is give us some brutal, scary deaths. 100%.
How do you brainstorm brutal, scary deaths?

Speaker 22 It's crazy.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 6 I would hope so.

Speaker 24 It's like a crazy exercise.

Speaker 6 You have to get yourself into like. You do.

Speaker 21 You got to get yourself into it.

Speaker 36 And I feel like so as my co-writer and I, Sam Lansky, we're really thinking about like, How can we kill this person and how can we kill this person?

Speaker 6 And how can we get crazy? Can I tell you something? Is that like a morning conversation or do you have to wait all day

Speaker 24 all day very long text thread that I hope no one from the government ever looked at

Speaker 21 and the search engines that you're using you you start you're like how would a body decompose what would that look like how would you get rid of body and then you're just kind of like delete delete delete delete delete delete oh yeah i'm sure they take yeah yeah yeah yeah you're like uh

Speaker 20 erase search history it's fine um but yeah no it's crazy.

Speaker 24 And it really

Speaker 24 kind of like gets into your psyche. So there was one night where I got home kind of late at night during the writing process.
And I thought I heard a noise downstairs in my house.

Speaker 16 That's right.

Speaker 36 I heard somebody gasp.

Speaker 6 It's coming from within the house.

Speaker 36 And in my head, I was like, I'm going to die.

Speaker 24 And so I did what anyone would do who's writing a slasher movie.

Speaker 20 I went into my kitchen and grabbed a butcher knife.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 20 And I did it in, like, I really did it.

Speaker 33 I like grabbed it.

Speaker 24 yeah and then I went into every room downstairs and like opened a closet like butcher knife

Speaker 6 and

Speaker 23 then as I realized that no one was in my house I was like

Speaker 6 bitch what was the plan yeah what did you think you were gonna do like a stab like a multiple stab situation what like if a guy was in the house yeah I was gonna drop the knife and run. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Like, there's no way I can do a lot of things.

Speaker 6 I don't, I don't see myself stabbed you're gonna have to repeatedly stab you know

Speaker 21 and then yeah, I just I didn't think it through but thankfully no one was in my house

Speaker 6 I always looked at those films and thought there was more of a love of baseball than I thought there really existed across the nation

Speaker 6 Everybody had a baseball bat to go protect their loved ones

Speaker 6 Really? Does everybody have a baseball bat in their house?

Speaker 33 An ex-boyfriend of mine slept with a baseball bat next to the bed and I kept being like what are you gonna do with that?

Speaker 6 What are you gonna do? Yeah, yeah. What are you gonna do with that?

Speaker 6 When does that happen in a relationship? It's like, I need you to know something. It was like, Oh, you're like, you don't want to have kids? It's like, No, I sleep with a baseball.

Speaker 33 No, it was just always there, and he was like, He was like, dress in case, and I was like, For sure,

Speaker 6 fair enough.

Speaker 23 Yeah, honestly, with him, I was just like, I kind of hope somebody comes because, like, I'd love to see that played out.

Speaker 6 Really? Yeah, this is this is what makes you a writer of slasher films.

Speaker 6 I would really love to watch him bash somebody's head in so I could be permanently disturbed for the rest of my life and use it for my home. I thought that was how it was gonna go.

Speaker 6 You thought he would die. No, no, I just like, you know, you just like, you just know that there are certain people that are just like, it's just going to be kind of funny.

Speaker 26 You say try and attack somebody with a baseball badge. You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 Yeah, that would have been humorous. That, like, the person trying to murder you would have also found it funny.

Speaker 26 It would have been me on my phone, Mike.

Speaker 6 So you would have been texting about this. I would have been videoing it.
You would have been videoing the attempted murder of your boyfriend.

Speaker 26 Yeah, no, I don't know if it's a murder. Maybe it's just like a light burgle.

Speaker 6 A light burglar, yes. Yeah.

Speaker 6 In that case, yes, you kind of want somebody to go through a comedic light burglar.

Speaker 6 Wait, I heard you have a picture for us from the set.

Speaker 26 I do.

Speaker 33 I do. That goes along with the clip that you guys saw.

Speaker 6 What picture do we have here?

Speaker 24 Okay, so the story behind this clip.

Speaker 23 So what we didn't show you in that scene is that Madeline Klein is discovering the hanging bodies of two characters in the movie on a very busy street in Southport.

Speaker 24 We did not shoot this in Southport. We shot this in Sydney, Australia.

Speaker 21 And where

Speaker 35 spoiler alert, sorry.

Speaker 24 And where we shot this scene,

Speaker 36 it was like near a ferry port.

Speaker 37 And we had money for this movie, but we did not have shut down the ferry money.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 we, every like...

Speaker 33 30, 40 minutes, we had to just like kind of cover the

Speaker 23 casual hanging bodies who were dummies. They were dummies.
They were not human people.

Speaker 6 Good, I was going to say. Just the distinction, it was not actors.

Speaker 6 After hearing your story about that ex-boyfriend, I was was like, is she actually hanging real people?

Speaker 6 You know what? I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 20 I don't sound great.

Speaker 6 You're coming off great. You sound like an autour.
Okay, great. Yes.
Yeah. Simon, I'm an author.

Speaker 26 And so every like 30, 40 minutes, we were just like, okay, we know the fairy is coming covering the bodies.

Speaker 24 We're about to roll cameras, and I just see all of the ADs and the production people like freaking out, scrambling.

Speaker 24 And this is the picture that we showed, like umbrellas, like that wasn't happening before.

Speaker 37 So I was like, what's going on? What's going on?

Speaker 6 Is everything okay?

Speaker 20 And they're like, the ferry is full of children.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 32 it was a ferry full of elementary school children.

Speaker 6 Coming in, watching. Coming in.
Two human bodies. Coming in.

Speaker 33 Yes, yes.

Speaker 20 Well, they did not see them as the crew did a very, very, very good job shielding them.

Speaker 24 But I definitely immediately was like, oh, I'm going to be some kid's core memory.

Speaker 36 Some kids never going to get, some Australian child is never gonna get on a ferry again because he got off a ferry at five years old and saw two horrific hanging bodies.

Speaker 6 I see a different, I see that kid, that's a core memory. 20 years later, that kid reboots the scream franchise.
Yeah, I'm so sorry. Can I say

Speaker 6 he's gonna be on this show talking about

Speaker 6 that? 100%. 100%.
100%. One of the big things in horror films is this trope of the final girl.
Yes. And I'm curious.

Speaker 6 I think when a lot of fans come to this and they're curious who's going to be the final girl, who their favorite final girl is.

Speaker 6 I mean, I know who my favorite, I'm wondering who your favorite final girl is. Mine's Belania.
But I just, I'm curious.

Speaker 6 Everybody has a favorite.

Speaker 6 Everybody has a favorite. I'm curious if you, as a fan of the genre, if you have a favorite.

Speaker 37 I mean, I have two favorites, Julie James and Carla Wilson.

Speaker 6 There you go, from the film. Yeah.
From the original. From the original.

Speaker 24 From the original, from I Know and I Still Know.

Speaker 15 And you know what?

Speaker 26 I think I've added some to the list in this one.

Speaker 24 So you'll have to go see it July 18th and find out who those favorite finalists.

Speaker 23 Oh, look at that.
