What’s Happening to the Movie Star? – Matteo Lane & Nick Smith – I Never Liked You 78
What’s Happening to the Movie Star?
We talk about how movie stars used to feel larger than life — and why that energy might be gone. Is it Marvel? TikTok? Streaming? No clue, but we have thoughts.

what I really think is that there aren't any leading men with actual charisma. what's his name from the offie? yeah right. I don't think anybody they're shoe-horning into action heroes just don't have any presence

Nick is Captain Petty. His origin story is:
he’s a chemistry teacher at a horrible public school and after a day of dealing with rude students that didn’t follow his strict rules, slow walkers, people who failed to hold the door for him, didn’t use coasters in his office, hung up the phone without saying goodbye, took too many free samples at his favorite ice cream store, then took forever to figure out their dunkin orders, he snapped. The final straw was the worst person on earth: someone who is standing on the left side of an nyc subway escalator while a line of people impartiality flare at him. Finally he has an outburst bc the entire day he simply said nothing and tried to be calm BUT this person was violent and hopped up with meth strength. So they threw him over the side of the tall escalator and he landed in the tracks of the subway. He died but he also dropped into a toxic pool of nyc subway waste. As he’s being taken to the coroner’s office, he awakens to discover he has the ability to shoot a Raid like chemical out of his hands and orifices on command. So he decides to use his powers to kill all who break his petty rules, and turn the world’s water supply into soda with his background in chemistry. He has a giant cape and he can float but not fly. So he just looks like a floating vampire that shoots raid out of his nose, hands, ass, and ears.
I know this will go unread but I’m stoned and felt the need to share this 😂 😂

As everyone else is saying there's no need to push a video out if you're not feeling well – there are hundreds of your videos available that I'll probably never even be able to get through. We can keep laughing while you guys care for yourselves. ❤

These comments are wild. Hathaway is like 13 years older than Jennifer Lawrence. Matteo said Nicole Kidman is still a 'movie star'.

Keanu Reeves is a true star! This was a great episode!

Mateo you and Nick would be great on dancing with the stars. Both I you are so multitalented. I would watch that show fully if you guys were on it. I love ballroom dancing and I love to see people I admire dancing.

What size is that t-shirt? I'm curious because I wear a medium, and your shirts look very hot on you but mine look plain! What gives?

I feel there’s different standards for movies stars now compared to in the past, the past you had to prove yourself more I feel and have longevity to your career before being seen as a icon now people are calling actors and actresses icons and they’ve barely been in the industry for a decade

They missed a lot of the bigger ones though like jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and Michelle pfeiffer, Catherine Zeta Jones the real 'old school A listers'. I was hoping they'd mention more people like that because movies were so much better back in the day. It's amazing what rotten tomatoes will give a 90% + rating but a lot of great older 80s and 90s films they gave less than 50%… Ya know?
Like fix that shit.

Matteo please tell me what the Kartrashian’s talent are…go ahead I’ll wait. What is their job description?
@wendylederer367
April 10, 2026 at 7:29 am
The cancer that is the Kartrashians started because of OJ. People were drawn in to KK because of the sex tape. She’s the daughter of Robert Kartrashian, the man who helped set a murderer free.People were interested in her because of her connection to The whole OJ circus and that bred decades of complete trash copycats and now we have a plague of stupid people getting famous for being trashy.

I am waiting for anybody to say Samuel L. Jackson. I need people to understand how big he is. From Jurassic Park, Star Wars to Avengers AND Tarantino. He is the highest grossing movie actor of all time. People love him.

Royalty does not equal celebrity. Only Americans seem to think that. Royalty is duty and an institution that maintains consistency throughout a country's history.

Nick being chill throughout the whole episode because Matteo wasn’t feeling well..but then being flabbergasted at the very end when Matteo said he never saw Waitress..😂nick’s subtle disbelief was hilarious

When Matt paired up with Nick, they both become these bitchy and nasty gays that sometimes it's very hard to listen to their conversation because it's too bitchy and ignorant for me to handle. I love these two, but sometimes the episode is just not for me. Do you know what I mean?

DUDE! I always wondered if Pascal was gay. I know he’s dated women. I think he’s bisexual!!

I also think it has to do with the actors actually doing their job of playing a character. A lot of movies now are just, “hey! Watch Ryan Reynolds run around this location while making a pop culture reference and a snarky comment”. But it’s every movie he’s in. And it’s not just him.

when everyone can be a star no one is a star anymore. social media did exactly this. and AI will do the same to all the artists now. If everyone can be an artist no one is anymore. I really don't like this development.

Matteo being a fan of RLM instantly gives him all-time cred for me. I already loved him but that really seals the deal.
