Retail headline you most want to see turned into a movie.
Speaker AChris, this is one of your favorite categories, so I'm going to go to you first.
Speaker AWhich.
Speaker AWhich headline did you most want to see on the big screen this year?
Speaker BYeah, well, the obvious answer for me is Red blood and khaki, the hubris that destroyed a once proud brand.
Speaker BBut I'm not going to go there.
Speaker BActually, believe it or not, I'm going to go with the headline that Sheehan made its first move into physical retail in Paris, because that did not go well.
Speaker BThere was a lot of drama related to that announcement.
Speaker BAnd so the title of this film.
Speaker BAnd is she in Sac le Bleu?
Speaker BAnd, you know, and.
Speaker BAnd the person that would play the lead is my favorite, favorite French actress, the Bond girl, Lia Sido.
Speaker BAnd she would take up the cause in this film, leading the protesters who are up in arms over the whole she and thing in Paris.
Speaker BThat.
Speaker BThat's my movie of the year.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AI would go to see that for sure.
Speaker AChad, what is your movie, your retail headline of the year you'd most like to see turned into a movie?
Speaker CI understand why you love this.
Speaker CThis omni so much, Chris.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker CI looked at a few different ways that this was described in the press to pick what was the best kind of movie teaser.
Speaker CIn the end, I like how the Wall Street Journal put it.
Speaker CI tried the robot that's coming to live with you.
Speaker CIt's still part human, followed by a futurism did $20,000 robot servant comes major catch.
Speaker COf course, we're talking about Neo, the chore robot.
Speaker COh, yeah.
Speaker CI mean, chore robot fails make.
Speaker CYeah, Chore robot fails make for just amazing video content.
Speaker CBut, you know, for me, this turns into a thriller horror, kind of based on the CEO's own statement.
Speaker CRight?
Speaker CLike, if we don't have your data, we can't make the product better.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker CLike, there's a human on the other side of those doughy robotic eyes.
Speaker CLike, dear God, this is exactly the stuff that Black Mirror episodes are made of.
Speaker CMovies like Megan, my favorite genre of, like, human versus Machine.
Speaker CLike, I'm in for that.
Speaker AOh, my God, I love that movie.
Speaker AAnd it would be absolutely terrifying.
Speaker AIt already is just as it is.
Speaker ASo, I mean, imagine what Hollywood would do to that.
Speaker AI'm gonna close it out with my.
Speaker AMy movie that I want to see.
Speaker AThere's two headlines that captured my movie title.
Speaker AThe first one is the Coles Ashley Buchanan investigation, the Cole's CEO leaving and the Wall street or the.
Speaker AI think it was Washington Post article that came out about that, which, which I feel like would make for a great probably not movie.
Speaker AWe're really probably talking like, made for TV movie on Netflix direct to streaming or something.
Speaker ABut either that whole, like, the reading that article, it felt like you were reading straight from like a romance novel where things went awry or the Kroger CEO mysteriously getting fired.
Speaker ALike, I think that there's a lot of intrigue and, and mystery that are happening and no one really knows what happened.
Speaker ASo it's like Unsolved Mysteries meets Danielle Steele for the Ashley Buchanan one.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd just straight up Unsolved Mysteries for the.
Speaker AThe Kroger CEO.
Speaker BYeah, that Ashley Buchanan one's good.
Speaker BAnd like, Coffee Beans and Favors would be my title for that one.
Speaker BProducer Ella, let's bring you in here.
Speaker BWhich.
Speaker BWhich of these, which of these three movie choices, which of these three headlines that we could turn into a movie or actually four, because Anne gave us two.
Speaker BWhich movie would you most like to see?
Speaker BI'm curious.
Speaker AProducer ELLA I'm totally going with Chad on this.
Speaker ALike, the Megan the Robot robots totally would be terrifying, but Hollywood, they'd eat it up.
Speaker CRight, right, right.
Speaker BAnd it's probably already in production.
Speaker BIt's definitely in pre production.
Speaker BSomebody's thinking about it right now, without a doubt.
Speaker CWhat do you call it if you actually get to win an Omni and an Oscar and, like, what happened?
Speaker CLike, what is that title?
Speaker CBut you should add Omni to that rank.
Speaker AWe should.
Speaker BThe aspiring scriptwriter in me may one day want to fight, figure out exactly what that's like.
