Does he ever say anything based on actual facts?
A sure sign that a movie is a stinker is when it won't even screen for critics

How long until Kevin Hart starts wearing a fat suit or dressing up like an old black grandmother in his movies?

That subject was brought up by Godfrey on the race wars podcast with Kurt and Sherrod, It came up on JRE with Nick Dip too, I wonder what the origin of this is, I been hearing it a lot.

I would assume it comes up alot because of the comparisons to Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and the Wayans brothers. There is a long tradition of black comedians dressing up as women to get cheap laughs. Chappelle talks about it here with the real Opster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lbFRYF-bbM

Tyler Perry in Madea and Martin Lawrence in Big Mamas House.

Opie is all-in on the Kevin Hart

ME: He's been on our show

ME: We LOVE The Kevin Hart.

Killing for us in studio today

The phones are lit.

How long til "Kevin Hart used to do our show all the time! He's too big for the show now"

Even though they didn't have Kevin Hart on til he started starring in movies

And he's hoping he's not TOO BIG now to come on the show in the future.

"You don't know what iRob is? iRob is gonna be huge..."

Im guessing the titster said this once?

Yeah, there was some horrible Rob Schneider show that premiered after the Superbowl a few years ago called ¡Rob! but dummy thought it was "i-rob" and for whatever reason he thought it was going to be huge.

OH NO I REMEMBER NOW!!! OH GOD WHY

Are you sure Opie wasn't confusing this with The Wedding Singer? I mean last I knew he was thinking about maybe getting back into weed. Troy did hook him up with a vape pen. Opie could just be all types of fucked up on the chronic bro. I mean that is what the cool children of the 90's, like Opie, are doing right?

Our pal Adam Sandler coming out with a new one...an old friend of the show. What ever happened to Adam? He blew up and got too big for us. This always happens with these guys, but then we catch them on their way back down again.

Did I ever tell you about the time we almost discovered GodSmack? Sully and I became best buds when he came to Boston. I actually suggested the name GodSmack for the band. He was actually supposed to come in this one morning and play a demo he had. However, I had to call in sick because I was sealing the deal with these 5 smokin honey's I met at the Cask 'N Flagon. They were playboy playmates. Yeah I was a late bloomer, but man did the Opster put up some serious numbers later. Wilt Chamberlain and I used to have a tally contest. But getting back to Sully and Godsmack. One thing led to another and his fucking manager put him on a different station. Dude it would have been great though... Yo! Sully if your listening.. Love ya miss ya!

The best part of the Wedding Singer was the shitty fiance. Holy fuck that guy was so condescendingly mean and hilarious.

was the "holy fuck" a jab at one of Opie's many crutches?

No, but now I'm worried I share the same prose as Opie.

I have been emailed 3 different screening notifications for it. That's extremely rare and not in a good way. Normally a test audience will fill up on the first round and that's it. They've had 3... The only other time I receive multiple notifications are for black comedies and Zac Efron movies.

Sir you failed to include "Taylor Lautner as a leading man" in your otherwise astute comment.

Spot on. How could I forget?

He glanced over a 3 star review in the paper written by some 80 year old New York Jew and stamped it with the Opester seal of approval.

Not sure if this is always the case, but it seems recently anyone who comes to promote their movie, it usually sucks.

Because the queer fat ass Ro-Ro can't get a decent star to come on the show. If the movie was good, would they need to come on O&J to promote to the very few (in terms of people reached by the interview) of us degenerates that listen?

Couldn't agree more. Wonder if it's obvious to the audience as well.

They said it when Jeff Bridges came in for BPRD... when they get huge stars promoting their movie it's usually because it's going to be a stinker and the studio wants them out promoting to soften the blow.

BPRD?

That shit comic book movie he did. Probably got the name wronh, Idgac

He's literally ripping off Howard. Howard was pumping up "Big Momma's House 3" in 2011 like it was golden, but no one gave a shit.

Hoo Hoo, I invented promoting movies on-air Robin, hoo-hoo

Isn't this just a re-working of Hitch?

Remember when they praised Cop Out?

I will gladly sneak into this movie and will probably enjoy it as much as I enjoyed sneaking into Soul Plane.

I got a kick out of Soul Plane, to be honest. I guess my expectations are low. Plus, it wasn't too PC.

That's what I'm saying, no expectations and free. It's easy to actually enjoy something in that context.

I hope you go to jail for it - just for trying to see such a shitty looking movie.

sarcasm; it's not for everybody

I'm scared to see the Chris Rock film for this very reason.

I loved Top 5, it was one of my favorite movies of last year. (And Im not much into comedies) It's worth seeing it just to see Ant, Sam and Jimmy in it.

Ah, that's good news, I've been looking forward to watching it. Cheers.

There's a DMX cameo that is the hardest I've laughed at a movie in possibly years. The funny part is, I saw this in Sherman Oaks in the middle of the day, it was me & mostly middle-old aged white people, and it KILLED in the entire theater. I couldn't believe how hard old white people were laughing at it. I don't even know if they knew who he was, and it still had everybody dying. I thought that was so cool.

I don't get the reference.

Opie is all in on shilling for favors.

He thinks Kevin might actually get out of bed before 1 pm. (oh those black people) and come in and bail out his sinking fucking show.

I saw a screening of that movie last month and it was fucking horrible. Even the studio knows it's shit because they are dumping it in January. This is just further proof of Opie being an ass kissing liar.

It's a January release. That's when Hollywood dumps all of their movies they know are terrible while everyone is busy seeing the movies nominated for awards.

I saw it, it's funny. It will make a good chunk of change.

What's happening he supposed to say? He's helping a good guest promote his project. "Oh no reviews yet, so the movie may be shit, Okay starts this Friday, not sure how the reviews are"

Who gives a shit, this is exactly what he should be saying.

The movie looks funny enough. I think Josh Gad is hysterical in everything and Kevin Hart is good too. It doesn't look amazing but it looks decent. So Opie's helping promote it, saying good reviews when there aren't.... Let's Lynch him!

Jesus christ. As I say often here, there's plenty of legitimate things to trash Opie for, why trash him for something undeserving of a trashing?

Or, you know, just say something can't be disproven with a quick google search. Like o, it'll be great because Kevin is in it or hey I saw it thought it was funny- instead lying about reviews. That's maxwell shit

No it's not Maxwell shit. He's not saying it to benefit himself or his show. He's just saying it to help Josh Gad, who's been a friend, out. This is a non-issue.
