🧃 “If the actor doesn’t look like the person they’re portraying, is it a bad movie?” That’s the question sparking debate on this episode of The JB and Sandy Show! JB, Sandy, Tricia, and special guest Stephen Pressley from Thunder Pop TV dive deep into the world of biopics, star power, and the impact of casting on iconic roles. From Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson to The Witcher’s dramatic recasting, the crew explores how swapping stars can make or break a show—and why Henry Cavill’s departure left fans reeling. ⚡️ The conversation takes a playful turn as Stephen pitches wild ideas for movies based on classic toys—imagine an Etch A Sketch adventure where every drawing comes to life, or a Magic 8 Ball horror flick! The team reminisces about childhood favorites, from Viewmaster to Operation, and even debates the merits of a battleship reboot. 🚢 But the surprises don’t stop there! JB shares his latest “Jell-O news,” revealing a spicy new mango chamoy flavor found at HEB, and how AI (like ChatGPT) is revolutionizing everything from meal planning to grocery shopping. The crew swaps stories about Midwest Jell-O traditions, hospital snacks, and vodka-infused clementines, sparking laughter and nostalgia.
