Movies to watch this weekend: Practical Magic 2 & Runner

We are talking about what is new in theaters and we're starting with a project that I've actually talked to a lot of people today who are excited about this Practical Magic 2. If that's something that's getting you going, then stick around because that's one of the things that we're talking about today with Fox's Ashley Dvorkin joining us with a look at a few different projects, but Ashley, it's so good to see you again. Good morning. Happy Thursday. Good morning. Happy Thursday. All right. Now, this is quite a headline, Practical Magic 2. Walk us through it. What will we see? When is this out? This long-awaited sequel is finally in theaters now. This weekend, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as the Owen sisters. And this one, I say, is all about the nostalgia, the reunion and Sandra Bullock's comedic timing. And she's just amazing. And so now I know that it's getting mixed reviews. I will say that for myself, I wasn't spellbound by its plot, but it really is about these two reuniting back together. And what it is about is that they are confronting a family curse. And now you have the next gen joining them, played by Joey King and Macy Williams. So that is one of the choices in theaters this week. And it might top the box office. We might finally have something else this summer of Spider-Man, which, you know, we'll probably do for something else to be at the top there. So we will see if Practical Magic 2 is able to do it. But OK, so, Ashley, switching gears here on a different project, you had a chance to speak with Owen Wilson about a new action comedy. And I feel like there's never a dull moment when you're talking to him in an interview. So what were some of the highlights of that interview with Owen Wilson? Yes, it was a lot of fun. We were talking about buddy comedies, and obviously he has done so many. And we talked about building those those dynamics between the duos. And he said that he's very mismatched with the Alan Richson character. So that's perfect for the two of them. And then we also quoted our favorite action movie, One-Liners. What are some of your favorite action star action movie quotes of all time? Well, I'll go back to Clint Eastwood, Make My Day, I Love the Terminator, I'll Be Back. I think Dolph Lundgren has one of the greatest. I Will Break You. Lee and Neeson has some good ones in Taken, you know, that have a special set of skills. In this film, too, in Runner, and I do recommend it. I had a lot of fun with it, Elyse. Yeah. Plus, I feel like it's just good to see Owen Wilson in something else as well. So I love it. And I love the one-liner conversation because you're right, I mean, y'all pretty much nailed it when you think about those great, snappy one-liners. Job well done on coming up with those. Very nice. Okay, so something else that's happening this week, and actually just a few days out, Ashley, the Emmys. And you are going to be on the red carpet, so there's that. That's something to get excited about. Also, you're sharing your picks, which we always appreciate, so let's talk Emmys. Okay, 78th Emmy Awards on Monday, hosted by Mariska Hargitay. And she is going to be the first woman hosting the Emmys in 15 years. And my predictions going into them are the Outstanding Drama Series, we have The Pit leading the way with 25 nominations overall. It is predicted to win, but I would also keep an eye on Pluribus. Pluribus is a great new show. I think Rae Sehorne from that is going to take home an award of her own. And then in Comedy Series, we have Hacks, which is one of, obviously it's the final season, and sometimes they want to give an honor for a goodbye season. But I say for this, it's Widow's Bay. I think Widow's Bay is a fantastic new show that is going to sweep the Emmys this year. I think Matthew Rhys might win for Widow's Bay. And keep an eye on Matthew Rhys, because if he wins for Widow's Bay and The Beast in Me, he is going to make history as the first lead actor to win in Comedy, Limited Series, and Drama, because he already has an Emmy for The Americans. So that's a fun one to watch. And in supporting Shrinkings, Harrison Ford, I think I predict, is going to make an acceptance speech this year. It was a really great season for his character, and so we'll look for that. We'll see. Hopefully, I've got my predictions, and I always love a night of surprises. Yeah, for sure. Well, let me ask you this. How do you typically do with your predictions? Are you pretty spot on with them, or? We'll say, here's who we expect to win and probably will win, and then I'll say, here is who I think should win. And sometimes, that one takes the trophy. So I try to list a couple that I think, I don't love the years where you can just predict everything. I know. It makes it not as much fun. So I'm with you. Some twists and turns definitely keep us on our toes. With Fox's Ashley Dvorkin hanging with us today. Ashley, thank you so, so much. We appreciate it, and as always, it's so good to see you.
