Speaker 3Jeff, let me to the alarm, the alarm to the lemon.
Speaker 1Nice.

We're going to get into a tribute for Terrence Stamp.

Speaker 2Little tidbit that I might toss in as Jeff's opinions on these things.
Speaker 1So we had so much get into it.
Speaker 2Just a real quick reminder, stream labs superchets are open.
And as I said, this is an hour long show.
So if you want us to answer your questions, answer your super chets or your stream labs, send them in now so they are first in line to get answered as when we get to that section of the show near the end.
So, Jeff, let's not waste anytime.
Let's jump into things here.
Let's talk about this news of Lord of the Rings.
This actually happened over the weekend.
It was at a panel for London's for Love of Fantasy event on Sunday Entertainment Weekly.
Ian mccollin, who played however Wizard Gandolf, said that Gandolf and Frodo will be part of the hunt for Gollum.
I hear there's going to be another movie set Midlworth, he said, and it's going to start filming in May.
It's going to be directed by Gollum, and it's all about Gollum.
I'll tell you two secrets about the casting.
There's a character in the movie called Frodo and there's another character called Gandalf.
Speaker 1Apart from that, my lips are sealed.
Speaker 2He did not say if he would be playing Gold Gandalf, and he did not say if Elijah would be returning.
So what do you make of this?
Do you put any weight behind this?
And was this all craftily done on purpose?
Speaker 3I mean, I don't think it's like a plan like we're gonna have sir Ian go out and do an interview and he's gonna leak the production start date or something like that.
Uh huh, I mean I don't.
I don't.
Again, I'm not really like a Lord of the Rings guy.
I don't know what to make of it.
What this new movie?
I know Andy Serkis is directing it, yes, and and but what is it?
Speaker 1It's a Lord of the Rings movie.
Speaker 2It's kind of a Further Adventures of Galam movie, is what it essentially is.
Speaker 3Oh, that's right, He's right, it's a Garbland movie.
Okay, So Frodo and Gandalf are gonna be in it?
I mean yeah, kind of didn't we assume that?
Speaker 2Or like, I don't know, it wasn't known whether anybody was going to come back.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's called The Hunt for Gollum.
It's for release on December seventeenth of twenty twenty seven.
It's produced by Peter Jackson and his team will explore Gollum's story further and just and is described as surprising yet faithful to the token lore.
So this is all kind of new territory, so that there wasn't any given that anybody was coming back to be a part of it.
But the fact that you're getting these two guys to come back and reprise their roles, and they're pretty signature guys and actors to play these characters.
Speaker 3I mean, those are the three main characters.
I feel like, yeah, yeah, for sure, as you would and Gandalf and Gollum.
So it all makes sense that the other two would be back, particularly while you know, we are still lucky enough to have sir Ian.
Yes, you know, take advantage on while you can.
I don't know, you know, if how big the roles are.
I haven't heard anything to that effect.
I really haven't been asking much about Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, but yeah, to me, it's not surprising.
Speaker 1Do you think do you think it'll be them?
Speaker 2I mean, you know, Ian's a bit up there, Elijah has put on some years.
Do you think they would return to play because if this is the further Adventures, you could argue that they've aged along with Gollum from the last appearance that he had in those Lord of the Rings movies, And do you think this is also them going like, well, we need and it needs a little bit of help on the set, on the story, and we need to get people to be interested in the story, and we can't just sell it on Gollum.
Speaker 3Is Gollum like a character that's like hundreds of years old or thousands of euro years old, you have a normal human life span.
Speaker 2He had it was a normal human and then became what he became as Gollum, so he can kind of converted into this thing that he became.
And so I don't know what the life expectancy of a Gollum.
Speaker 3To me, Elijah Wood's frodo like what are we going to do?
Yeah, tar roto or like yeah, I feel like it will be Elijah Wood and it will be Sir Ian McCown.
If it wasn't, I don't think Ian McCollen would have mentioned it.
Speaker 2But do you think this was this is you know, I'm a bit cynical sometimes.
Do you think this is more of a sweet thing and they just wanted to drop it as a surprise, or do you think that there's their sensing that there's not like they're in what you called their inner workings, are doing like tests and there isn't that much interest in the you know, Lord of the Rings movie without bringing back Ian McKellen.
Speaker 3Or I'm sure that that is what testing or research, you know, data and audience research whatever indicates those are two beloved characters.
I know it.
Even so even someone on the outside really like myself, would be more interested in seeing that movie with those two characters played by those two actors specifically.
So yeah, I think I think somebody just asked Ian McKellen a question.
He answered it honestly.
I don't think this is like some master plan.
Speaker 1Yeah, so this is the movie.
Speaker 2We'll explore the period between Bilbo's Bilbo Bagans one hundred and eleventh birthday and Frodo's departure from the Shire.
The plot will involve Aragrn and Gandalf and Tarra getting Gollum about what he told Sorrow, and we'll conclude with Gandalf's return to the Shire to warn Frodo.
So yeah, that sounds like maybe we're not going to get a lot of scenes with Frodo and Gandolf, But is now Vigo Mortensen, is he now on the clock as we to use an NFL draft?
Speaker 3Well turn question who?
Well, first of all, who is hunting Sniegel?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Who was hunting Schmigel?
Speaker 2Yeah, Robert Schmigel even Yeah, who was hunting Smigel?
Speaker 3Robert Snegels?
Yeah, Aragon.
I think it would be a big character in the story.
Yeah, and I would assume that Vigo would also be back again.
I just do you really see, like I haven't.
I certainly haven't gotten that from like just the feeling out there, like oh, Frodo or Aragon Gun is an open rule.
Yeah in Hollywood.
I haven't gotten that impression.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Well, I mean I neither because I didn't know they were all coming back, possibly with Aragorn maybe as well.
But like this is there younger in their years in the story.
So are you deaging the three of them or are you?
I mean, you can't recast the three of them for God's sakes, because.
Speaker 3You're saying this is before So this is yes, like.
Speaker 1In between yeah, before Fellowship of the Ring.
So would we be I.
Speaker 3Don't then I in that case, I don't know.
I didn't I didn't realize what the time period.
Speaker 2You can if you're if you're keeping it in Cannon and you're keeping the same actor as Gollum, but you're going back to a time just before Fellowship of the Ring.
Speaker 1I don't think you can, uh not.
I don't think you can recast.
I think you have to, d Age.
Speaker 3I think you can easily, d Ian McKellen.
Speaker 1Yeah, not that.
Speaker 3I really just don't see who they're going to recast and off.
That seems insane to me.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't disagree with you that.
Speaker 3Yeah, they can just get him and paint some wrinkles out or whatever.
Frodo.
I guess that's tougher to do.
If you're telling me that it has to be set around.
Speaker 2Then air going too.
I mean, like, you know, he goes sixty, bro, he goes sixty bro.
So know, we'll see, but we'll see.
Speaker 1But I like this.
Speaker 2You know, I'm not the biggest fan of the Lord of the Rings movies.
I like the Hobbit series more than the Lord of the Rings movies.
But that being said, I liked I know, these characters are great and people.
Speaker 3My dh instead of recast, that's what I think.
Speaker 1It seems smart.
Speaker 2Let's move into some politically fraud conversation here.
Jeff gal Ganoates was in an interview here with Israeli Television talking about what happened with Snow White.
She said, I really enjoyed filming that movie.
It really had fun, even working alongside Rachel Zegler.
We laughed and we talked, and we laughed and we talked and we had fun.
I was positive the movie was going to be a huge hit, and then October seventh happened, and what happened all over in different industries, not just Hollywood.
There was a lot of pressure put on celebrities, actors, creators to post against Israel, and it happened.
I can always explain and try to give people in the world context about the situation and the reality in Israe, and I always do that, but at the end, people make up their own minds.
And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office.
Speaker 1But it is what it is.
Speaker 2You win, somebody lose some Now a lot of people Jeff accused her of blaming her political stance and the troubles of what happened on October seventh for the film bombing so she had to clarify on Instagram earlier today and said, I was honored to join an.
Speaker 1Extraordinary interview with aspiring interviewers, but sometimes.
Speaker 2We respond to questions from an emotional place.
When the film came out, I felt that those who are against Israel criticized me in a very personal, almost visceral way.
They saw me first and foremost doesn't as rarely not as an actress.
That's the perspective I spoke from when I answered the question.
Of course, the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures.
There are many factors that determine why film succeeds or fails, and success is never guaranteed.
Who boy, did she do a backstep on that one?
Jeff, your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3I mean, I think people, I think she's what do you mean like, I think she said nothing wrong?
Speaker 2You think do you really think October seventh affected the movie's box office?
Speaker 1That's nonsense.
Speaker 3No, no, I don't think that, okay, But.
Speaker 2That's what she initially said, was that the October said the thing happened and everyone was forced to say negative things about Israel.
She was pro Israel, and so people didn't come see the movie.
Because she was pro Israel, and she didn't go into the fact that, you know, she didn't take into cat that maybe she was terrible in the movie, maybe the movie was terrible itself.
She was essentially blaming that it was other people.
Speaker 3Yes, yeah, no, I think that that's bs.
I think that the movie didn't work for a variety of reasons.
Part of it is that she is not a draw.
Yes, Rachel Zegler is not really a draw.
Speaker 1No, not yet.
Speaker 3We've seen countless snow white movies.
Yes, we're Disney fairy taled out.
I think at this point I didn't notice know what was like new or different about it and what was new or different The Dwarves was not good, yes, right, you know, I don't think it helped.
I don't think that her comments, which made her more divisive and did maybe people thought of her who thought of her as wonder woman started like she said, I do think that she's right in this regard, just started to look at her as Israeli before she's even an actress or a movie start.
It's just you know, the fucking Israel.
Israeli a you know, a mouthpiece essentially, And yeah, I do think that that dominated the conversation because the media are lemmings for the most part, and that became the conversation instead of the movie, instead of her performance.
And yeah, the movie tanked.
Speaker 2But then when the movie came out, the conversation was about how bad the movie was and was about how bad her performance was.
So that's the thing I think.
I think you can have any political stance you want.
If the film or the show is good, people will go see it, especially something like snow White.
Speaker 1But the reason people saw her in a certain way.
Speaker 2Is because she was at being outspoken in a certain way, and that is what ended up causing a consequences exactly.
Speaker 3Like if you want to be the mouthpiece essentially for like Israel, be the most famous Israeli actress, then yeah, that's gonna backfire on you.
Sometimes I think that she is right, it's it's a wins losm.
It's not her fault.
I don't think it's her fault at the movie tanked.
I think that they kind of share the blame.
The blame goes three ways, really, but.
Speaker 2I think I think she does bear some fault here because she's not a good actress and that she wasn't a good performance and I think you could blame the director for sure.
And if you want to look at it politically wise, you know, Rachel was outspoken on the different but pro Palestine.
She was pro Israel gal Gadot, so that I give you one hundred percent.
But she does factor in the movie not doing well because she was not good in the movie, and the movie itself was not that good.
Speaker 1But Zegler, everybody prays Zegler.
She was damn good in the movie.
So she came out of it unscathed.
Speaker 3So I would say I wouldn't say she came out of it unscathed.
It's a pretty big blemish as far as like a movie star track record goes.
Yeah, I just don't.
I don't let things dictate my decisions.
Things like that dictate my decision to see a movie.
I you know, I would assume that not a lot of people do, but I guess if you're watching like Fox News every night, maybe you do.
Speaker 1I just think if if the movie was good, it wouldn't have mattered.
That's what I mean.
Like, if the movie was good, nobody would have cared.
Speaker 3If that's the thing, John, you don't know opening like it takes until after opening weekend for the word to get out there publicly.
Gleed to critics and Twitter and things like that.
It didn't open because it didn't look good.
The marketing was bad.
Yes, me to show up to a press streating.
Speaker 2Right, right, right, Yeah, yeah, I don't disagree.
Speaker 3I remember Actually I think I think maybe it was Manson and we were talking about it and he was like, yeah, I'm seeing snow White tonight.
I'm pretty sure it was Mance.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3It was like why and he's like, well, you know, because we were invited.
That's what we're supposed to do, is show up see new movies.
And I guess, like, like, what is what is the point of going?
Maybe it was you.
It might have been you that we had that I had this conversation.
Speaker 2I went to see it because I but I don't always go to movies.
I'm invited to us, so I don't think I would have said that as a reason.
But it might have been Mance.
But I I was hesitant to go, and I didn't go to the last minute, and when I went, the only reason I enjoyed anything in the film was that was Zegler's me.
Speaker 3It didn't look at it nothing to do with their political stances or find both of them.
Speaker 1Just wasn't a good movie.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2But like, and that's further proof, like why why speak about this?
Like that's the thing you have to come to terms with, is like if you're going to be outspoken, and you know what, you and I are both outspoken, Like we have to take the lumps to try to to try to avert that or ignore that or not factor that into the reason why some people react to their way.
Speaker 1I think is is not a smart move in the long run.
But anyway, all right, let's move on.
Speaker 2To some legendary conversation here or Jeff, this is kind of big news every time we turn around Paramounts doing something massive and apparently Legendary Entertainment is in early talks to partner with Paramount on theatrical distribution of its film Slate, the production from behind Minecraft Movie and Doing had been under contract that Sony Pictures after cutting ties with Warner Brothers in twenty twenty two.
However, the multi year deal at Sony expired at the end of twenty twenty four, and they've kind of been a free agent, working with Netflix and Universal and various projects.
So This could be interesting because you've got what doing part two in Minecraft, which I imagine they won't touch.
But there are other projects coming down the pike here that they could be involved in, you know, for example, the Innity two film, doing part three.
So it's unclear right now which which projects they Wouldartner on.
But what do you think about this?
Is this yet another move my Warner brothers to really kind of become the big dog in the room.
Speaker 3Here by Warner Brothers, what do you mean?
Speaker 1I'm sorry, yeah, Parao.
Speaker 3I mean, you know, I think Legendary has been a part to some big projects and they control some interesting ip Yeah, Like you know, Paramount needs movies right now, especially since the last year, like we've said, held off on green lighting so many big, big things because they had to wait for David to show up basically and say all right, this is the direction we're gonna take this, this is the director we'll take that.
Yeah, they need movies, and Legendary is, you know, obviously one of the strongest producers in town.
They're not getting the top titles, like you said, they're not getting the Dunes, they're not getting the Monster Verse movies.
It doesn't just move over there this output deal, but you know there will be other stuff and so yeah, I think it's a win for Paramount.
I don't know what this means for like the lions Gate talks of it all.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, right, Like.
Speaker 3I guess it was, like was it more about Lionsgate acquiring Legendary or Legendary acquiring lions Gate?
Speaker 1I thought it was.
I thought it was Lionsgate acquiring Legendary.
Speaker 3Okay, fair enough, I mean it maybe it'd be interesting if if Ellison get Warner Brothers and then made made a move on line Skate or something.
Speaker 1I don't know, Well, that could be interesting.
Speaker 2What does this tell you, man, You've got the Duffer Brothers, You've got the James Mangold situation.
Then Allison brought in Josh Greenstein the President's Only Pictures and Dana Goldberg to revitalize the studio.
Speaker 1So these are massive moves.
And if they make a move and.
Speaker 2Get get Legendary to be in business with Tom Cruise for the Innu film, I mean this could be interesting moves here from Paramount moving very quickly to be like a bigger footprint.
Speaker 3In your EATA movie.
Though is Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2Yeah, but no, Legendary will released an untitled but no, but didn't they move that over?
Speaker 1Like they didn't give them the what's is it fully there that they're going to partner with?
Speaker 3Those are the carbouts?
Speaker 1Okay?
Speaker 3Okay, okay, so yeah, no crew that that's definitely a Warner Brothers all right.
You know, like here's an example.
Isn't like that Sydney Sweeney Gundam movie?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah with uh yeah, that's.
Speaker 3A legendary movie.
Okay, I don't know if that's at Amazon?
Speaker 1What about Duke newm Right, that's one.
Speaker 3Right, So like those are the kinds of projects that could now wind up at Paramount that that legendary has been developing.
Speaker 1I got a bit confused there, But yeah, that would be.
Speaker 3Interesting to see see.
I think I think it's a win for Paramount.
I like how aggressive they're being right now.
I like that they went out and got the Daffer Brothers.
Deffer Brothers are going to be huge.
I've told you they've been on a lot of lists for stuff around town, especially with you know, they said to wait for them to finish with Stranger Things.
They have two new shows coming out to Netflix next year.
Both of them sound pretty interesting to me.
And they're gonna be doing a live action spinoff of Stranger Things.
But yeah, I think they want to get back to the big screen.
Right.
They tried a big screen to do with Alexander scars Garden Andrea Riseborow about a decade ago.
It was not very good.
It get like, you know, sat on a shelf for years until it got so I think it they have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove on the big screen.
And that's why they ended up going with Paramount over Netflix, because Netflix, you know, even if they give you theatrical, it's like a two week you know, cursory sort of deal.
That's just not their business model, which I understand, I respect, but yeah, the Duffers have to do what's best for them.
Speaker 2And yeah, would they have to buy the whole thing?
Like would they have to buy all of Legendary and then they would get the all of Legendary's IP or.
Speaker 3Just an Aubus it's a distribution?
Speaker 1Is this the first step?
Speaker 3Like?
Speaker 2If they get the distribution, does it start looking like they could possibly purchase down the road?
I know a merger just happened, but could it be something they'd explore we see all.
Speaker 3These student listen.
Paramount can now certainly outbid Lionsgate.
If lions in the Legendary, then there's no you know, Paramount could do the same thing.
But like Legendary and sky Dance were very similar to me, So Paramount just picked up sky Dance essentially and integrated them into everything.
Right, you know, they need Legendary, you know, they just need a short term deal until basically they can get up and running themselves.
That's why I liked it.
Like, you know, Legendary has that Animal Crossing movie.
That's another carve out from the deal that was originally and then like Sony's deal with Legendary yielded like nothing, I don't know what it yielded, and so Legendary just moved over to Warner Brothers.
It was a better fit anyways.
Speaker 2Yeah, all right, we'll see what happens.
But Paramount keeps stopping around the yard.
Now, man, everybody's better get ready.
Speaker 3For sure they have money now again.
The last few years they've been the low studio on the tote bol because they've been hamstrung and operating with one hand tie by their back.
Now they have a guy who's flushed with cash and looking to spend it.
Speaker 2Must suck to have been an executive and high ranking over their paramount and now eating the last few years trying to make it work, and then you get kicked out once they get money, Like, oh, you.
Speaker 3Know, you're just yeah, you're just waiting for them to come in and shop.
Yeah.
Oh they got paid handsomely.
I'm sure.
Speaker 1Yeah, they're a golden perishing.
Let's move on to this real quick.
Speaker 2James gunn was all was being interviewed about the upcoming Superman film, and he's now saying this was with Collider.
Speaker 1I think Christina Radish did this interview.
She said, he.
Speaker 2Said, we're scheduling it now.
I'm totally done with the treatment.
My treatments are incredibly intense.
They're not My treatments are incredibly intense.
They're not regular treatments.
There's sixty bad treatments with dialogue and everything, and so now I'm just turning that into a script.
We're planning out when we're going to shoot that.
It's going to be much sooner rather than later.
So now we wrapped to sixty page treatments.
Jeff, what is happening here?
Speaker 3Hey, when you're the head of the studio.
You get to make your own rules.
Speaker 1I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2I just love how trumpy and it's better than anything's the bettert best treatments, these unusual treatments.
Speaker 3These are normal treatments.
These are sixty page in depth treatments.
There's dialogue, We got everything.
I mean, you know, it's it's nice to know that he's down the line with the script.
Although you know treatment, that's that's an early part of the process.
So I don't know how far how long we are.
Speaker 2Don't you explain that the other day on the show, like treatment outlined and then you get the screenplay.
So but it seems to me like he's jumping a few steps that the treatment's going to go write the screenplay, and then there we go the fact that they're looking to schedule it already.
You know, it seems odd considering is the script will be done and is he bullshitting us like it doesn't already have the script done and he's just saying things now and again he.
Speaker 3Can move stuff forward while he's still writing the script and working it out because everything's in his head right right, right, and he can say, you know, it's not like you're a director and you're like, I haven't written it yet, but I have to convince the studio had to spend X amount, right, you know He's like, well on the studio ahead.
Yeah, yeah, I'm convinced, you know, we can go ahead and start preproduction.
And I've got, you know, six months before an actor has to deliver a line.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think it's it's a fascinating situation the way it's all going, and he's handing the meat.
The information is not piecemeal, but I think it's some of the comments that are really fun to focus on.
So, all right, anything anything more on James Gunn or DC.
Have you got anything Jeff?
Speaker 3Something?
Okay?
Is that the James gun thing you wanted to mention?
Speaker 1That was the little thing?
Yes?
Speaker 2The sixty page treatment to me is just madness.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Speaker 3I've got way better stuff.
Speaker 1Oh, please bring it on.
What do you got?
Speaker 3All right?
So last weekend or last week or whenever, there was a junket, yes, for a movie called cot Stealing.
Speaker 1Yeah, with Austin Butler, right.
Speaker 3Darren Aronofsky.
Yeah, and apparently I you know, I have spies all over, John, I know you do.
One of my spies was doing interviews at this junket, and apparently the representatives for Zoe Kravitz or whatever, whether it's the movie or for Zoe Kravitz, they instructed the press don't ask Zoe any questions about The Batman Part two.
She's not in it and she doesn't know anything.
WHOA, that's a quote.
Speaker 2Don't ask her any questions, but she's not in it and she doesn't know anything.
So Catwoman is not in The Batman Part two, even though she was.
Speaker 3Only six people on the planet read the script.
I've read the script or just guessing.
Don't worry about what everybody else thinks.
Okay, there's only worry about the six people anyways.
So I'm not saying this.
I'm not reporting this, Yes, just cassing along what the other journalists at the cot stealing junket we're told.
Don't bother asking Zoe anything.
She's not in it, she doesn't know anything.
Speaker 2Wow, if you remove a Catwoman, it seems like there's a space for a Robin or someone there to help the Batman.
Speaker 1Because she helped the Batman in the first movie.
Speaker 2It feels like maybe someone could be sliding in there to take that spot.
Speaker 3I don't know.
I mean, listen, Calluman.
When she was played by Michelle Pfeiffer.
How many movies was she in John one?
She was played by Anhathway.
How many movies was she in?
Speaker 1John one?
Speaker 3So maybe this is just Calluman tradition, you do want.
I thought it was sort of setting up her in more installments.
But if you're doing a big time jump, maybe something's happened to Calluman.
Who knows?
And maybe this is also a lie just to get depressed to be good little boys and girls and not ask any questions that they have every right to ask at a junket, right, right, But this is what was relayed to them, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, maybe they were afraid she would spoil something, or like you said, maybe they were maybe they were like trying to make it clear that, you know, don't ask her anything about it because she really isn't in it.
And that's fascinating to me that you would say that to junk at people.
Speaker 3And said earlier our friend Alan's right, he is joking that.
James Gunn just tweeted Cat Woman's in the movie, right exactly, I'm sure he has minions watching.
Speaker 1What of course I'm looking.
Speaker 3You know, James and I are gonna get brunch one day.
We're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 1You and James Gunn.
Speaker 3All right, James one day?
Speaker 1How tall you leave me out of this?
How dare you leave me?
Speaker 3You live in San Diego, my friend?
When I stars, I'm still waiting for you to come up on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2I'll get it an F one car if it means we get a lunch with James Gunn please?
Speaker 1All right?
Speaker 2Well, what else do you have?
Anything else?
Is that?
Speaker 3A is.
Speaker 2Mouth?
All that you said you've got?
You said you've got other James gun stuff?
Is there anything else?
Speaker 3You go?
That's all I said?
What do you mean?
Speaker 1All right?
All right, that's good stuff.
I like that.
That's good stuff.
Speaker 2So no catwoman knows Zoe Kravitz and the Batman part too.
That's the That's that's what apparently has been been said.
He so we will see.
All right, let's move on to another story here.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, let's talk about this.
Speaker 2Sharon Stone's got some comments Jeff Sharon Stone talking about Basic Instinct, that one that Joe hester House is apparently doing again she was on the Today Show promoting Nobody, to which sadly underperformed to the box office, and when she was asked about the movie that is supposedly being worked on this reboot, she said, I mean, go ahead, but good fucking luck, she said with a laugh, and said, if the reboot goes the way the one that I was in went, which is the second basic instinct, I would just say, I don't know why you would do it.
And when asked why she was being so open in her speaking with such candor, she said, I'm at that stage of my life where I already retired once and I already died a couple of times.
Speaker 1I'm like, what are you gonna do?
Kill me again?
Go ahead?
Speaker 2You know what, Now I want her back in the movie.
For fuck's sake.
Now I want her in the movie.
That's pretty badass.
What you think about a commentary?
Speaker 3I mean I liked her and Nobody too.
I mean, like one of my friends was like, oh, this is like a horrible performance, like an all time bad performance.
I kind of like that she vamped it up, right.
I don't know that I want to see somebody else's Catherine tremil You.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, I do not.
I do not.
She's too good.
Speaker 2There's no there's no one right now in Hollywood with Sharon Stones like sexy charisma that she had back then.
Speaker 3No one.
Speaker 2There is no one that I can think of that I've seen.
Don't give me a seat, Sweeny.
Speaker 3I just know I just don't buy someone else's Catherine Tremmelle.
Like you'd have to change the character's name or like completely redo the script that that esther house has in mind, because without her, yeah, yeah, it just it doesn't really feel like basic instinct.
Speaker 1Almost.
Speaker 2Speaking of Joe, apparently Joe watches our show, because Joe had comment about one of my comments.
He said, he said, it's in a statement to those who question what an eighty year old man is doing writing a sexy, erotic thriller, The rumors of my cinematic impotence are exaggerated in agist.
I call my writing part of the twisted little Man, and he lives somewhere deep inside of me.
He was born twenty nine, he will die twenty nine, and he tells me the sky's high.
Speaker 1His sky's high.
Up to write this piece.
Speaker 2And provide viewers a little wild and orgasmic ride that makes me very hap.
Speaker 3I do remember that quote because you know what I related to it, because I said, I am also twenty nine on the inside, I'm stuck at twenty nine.
Speaker 2Yes, Joe, no offense, Joe, but you're eighty.
I don't care if you're inside of twenty nine twenty nine.
As Check once said, thirty nine eight twenty nine, Bro, And that's the truth.
Speaker 1Eighty ain't twenty nine either, Bro.
But hey, much power to you man.
Speaker 3Well a little blue pill.
You can still go like you're twenty nine into your eighties.
Speaker 1But it install something in the ear.
Speaker 2Feel like then maybe Sharon Stone is not going to be in this reboot or is this her?
Speaker 3Say that, John, because this is all sounds like a negotiation.
That's not gonna say.
Speaker 2I was just gonna ask you, do you think this is a negotiation on Sharon's part?
Speaker 3I want to show John everything's about money.
Speaker 1It's true.
Speaker 3Stone showed up to do a movie called Basic and C two.
Speaker 1Wasn't she Yes, she did, even though she said she was not going to do it.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Right, if the money's right, Sharon Stone is going to show up.
Speaker 1I love that.
Speaker 2All right, Let's move on to someone by the way John wore John Wore a half hour mark of the show.
Please send in your stream Lab super chats to support the show.
There's only six superchats right now.
What are we doing this?
Almost five hundred?
You're joining us right now, live send in your love.
You could be watching preseason football.
I'm skipping my commanders right now because preseason football it doesn't matter like regular season football.
So come on, send in your love as we go along here and see it to your big story.
Jeffter, you broke this week.
Anya Taylor Joy is apparently going to play Joni Mitchell.
What a interesting casting decision here for Cameron Crowe in the long Gest Dating Joinny Mitchell biopick.
She will play her as a young lady, and then Meryl Streep will take over and play her in her later years.
And the film is said to not be a traditional biopick, which is of course the standard thing you say about biopicks.
Speaker 1What the what look.
Speaker 3Dead clouds from both sides?
Now?
I just butcher Joni Mitchell?
Speaker 1You are a feminist?
Speaker 2Yes, go ahead, tell me, tell tell us all about this story.
Speaker 1What do you think about any Taylor Joy stepping in this role?
Man it's fascinating.
Speaker 3I think this is, you know, pretty good casting all things considered.
Like she's a little too I don't know, like hot.
Speaker 2I was just gonna say, like, this is fascinating to watch these folks singer songwriters who were at bestay looking Bob Dylan, Joan Mitchell, others, and then have them being played by these way hotter people in Hollywood.
Speaker 1It's fascinating.
Speaker 3Yes, she's getting a glow up, I would say, but like any you know, pretty much anybody who's going to be cast as her who could get a movie finance at this level was probably gonna be on that list.
You know, Like someone mentioned like Maya Hawk would have been good, and my Hawk does look like her a lot, But like, I can't pin a biopic like this on my howk yet.
Speaker 2Unfortunately one of the actors they met you mentioned, right, Kristen Frost from the.
Speaker 3Yeah exactly, and she was the star of that movie, The Assistant, I believe, Yeah, right, so yeah, she, uh, you know, Anny Taylor Joy just edged out her.
I do think a lot of it had to do with the fact that, hey, she's Emmy nominator, she's a Golden Globe winner, she'sus.
There's like, you know, doing movies and uh furiosa, so you know, she's more recognizable.
I think her and Merrily Streep is a pretty formidable pairing.
Like that's a biopic I think people would go to see if they're fans of Joni Mitchell.
Of course, you know, maybe not the most exciting, but you know, lived incredible life, had incredible career.
And it's also Cameron Crowe is the master of fucking movies like this, and I'm just excited to see him get back behind the camera.
He hasn't directed anything since Fucking a Low High in twenty fifteen.
Bro.
Speaker 2Yeah, because he was on a run of terrible movies.
I think he might have lost his fastball, Jeff.
Speaker 1This concerns me.
Speaker 3There's a lot of guys out there who have lost their fastball.
They still let him hold a camera.
And this is still Cameron Crowe we're talking about.
So it's, you know, kind of like Spike Lee.
I had someone called this morning and just reamed out the Spike Lee movie for like twenty minutes there.
This is the biggest piece of shit I've seen all year, and I haven't seen it yet.
I'm just gonna wait for Apple TV because I had two opportunities to see it this weekend.
They saw different movies both times.
But you know, to me, Spike Lee is someone who's lost their fastball.
But they still, you know, we still had Spike Lee direct movies.
And Cameron Crowe deserved to be making movies.
I don't care how many times he struck out.
Speaker 2Hem mc crow hasn't made anything like Black Clansman for God's like a bit different if he can't.
You know, we got nominated won an Oscar for something like he is.
His films have not been great, and there's and you know, Hollywood is littered with those directors who had a nice run and then fell off the map, Walter Hill, John McTiernan, Like, there's so many great directors.
Speaker 3Yeah, this guy's freaking you know, I don't know Cameron Crowe, this is right in his wheelhouse.
He's close with Joni Mitchell himself, so is Meryl Streep.
Is a story that's really important to both of them.
You know, I don't expect it to be a big blockbuster necessarily, it feels like it could be an Awards contender, and I think Anya Taylor Joy wants to be taken seriously as an actress.
She's doing stuff like the gorge in this movie called Sacrifice.
It's going to be a tiff with Chris Evans that I almost assure you will not be good.
So, you know, I think this is a good confert.
Go work with an enclaimed direct or, go over with Meryl Street, try to learn something.
And she gets to sing like she did in One Night.
She's sang at Petula Clark covered Downtown.
I don't know, I I like it, especially after i'd heard for as long as I had, like many many months, that it was probably gonna be Christine.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, wow, Okay, yeah yeah.
I like Danny Taylor.
Speaker 2I mean, I've been a fan hers since Queen's Gambit, so anything she's in I'm a big fan of.
And Firiosa.
I don't know how that underperformed.
It was such a good move.
All right, let's move on to a couple of things and we'll get on out and we'll get some questions to get on out of here.
Weapons The box office did really well this week, Jeff, what is I know you don't like talking about box office.
I don't just send you on a rant, but this is a horror movie.
It is doing really well word of mouth and all of that is pushing this thing around.
It's it destroyed nobody too.
It beat Freaky Friday again.
It only dropped forty four percent and it's a hit.
It's set to hit the one hundred million dollar mank this week and could get to one hundred fifty million.
So what do you think about this box office result for the for Weapons on a second weekend.
Speaker 3It's it's fun, you know, it's to be expected.
It's a fifty percent hold.
It wasn't like as good as the Sinners hold, but it wasn't as bad as these comic book movie holds, right, right, It wasn't a sixty percent drop.
You know, the movie overperformed weekend one, and you know this is a good, not great hold for weekend two.
I think this movie is still going to do way better than anybody initially expected.
And it's a hit.
You know, people like it, and it's spawning, you know, like on Gladys is kind of becoming like a meme.
Yeah, developing a prequel with her and Amy Madigan's being profiled in The New York Times.
Speaker 1Crazy interviewed.
Speaker 2I do think, yeah, someone posted something like, well, we're going to talk about and Gladys in the same breath as Andy Wilkes from Misery or The Joker.
Speaker 3I'm like, slowly, but she's certainly one of the better New Fresher villains of the last two years.
What do you what movie do you associate Amy Manigan with?
I'm curious.
Speaker 1Always Field of Dreams, always.
Speaker 3Field the Dreams.
Yes see, I'm not a Field of Dreams guy.
Speaker 1Yeah, too much to me.
Speaker 3And I realized, like, oh, this is Uncle Bucks.
Speaker 1Yes, what was her name, Denise or something?
Speaker 3I forget what it was.
Speaker 2Yes, yeah, I love that movie man, Yeah, she's she calls him that movie and Laurie Metcalf, like those two battling over Buck is just fantastic in the film.
Speaker 1But yeah, but a lot of people also think about what was it jack and Pollack?
Wasn't she in Jackson Pollock as well?
Speaker 3I thought, you try to remake Uncle Buck?
I mean, have they I.
Speaker 2Heard for years there were rumors about it with I think Cedric or uh going the Black Rot like they did with.
Speaker 1What was one of the ones that they did using.
Speaker 2A black actor?
Oh yeah, they just did the Baby Babysitter or whatever.
Speaker 3JB.
Smooth and Uncle Buck.
That's a movie I would go say, I love JB's move.
There was someone saying there was Yeah, that was one of those John John Hughes did that right, Yeah.
Speaker 1I think yeah.
John Hugh's the Uncle Bud guest one hundred percent.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 1Do people think of Gone Baby Gone with her?
Do you think of her for Gone Baby Gone?
Speaker 3I I don't, but I know obviously she's yeah in the movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's absolutely filled the dreams.
Yeah, and she wasn't Pollock.
I thought she was.
Speaker 3All right, let's talk about quin.
Speaker 1Yet to do it.
Speaker 2Quentin Tarantino had some comments on one of his on a podcast here, The Church of Tarantino, Piers.
I mean, that's how you get Tarantino on your podcast.
You call you podcast the Church of Tarantine.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Uh.
He was talking about his movies and he said, if this is a quote, Once upon a Time in Hollywood is.
Speaker 1His favorite movie, but Inglorious Bastards is his best.
Speaker 2But I think Kill Bill is the ultimate Quinn movie.
He said, like nobody else could have made it.
Nobody was good and made it.
Every asked it about it, every aspect about it is so particularly ripped, like with the tentacles and bloody tissues from the imagination of my id and my loves and my passion, my obsession.
So I think Kill Bill is the movie I was born to make.
I think Inglorious Bastards is my masterpiece.
But Once upon a Time in Hollywood is my favorite.
So what do you think about these comments?
Speaker 1Jeff?
Do you agree with Quentin Tarantino about his own movies?
Speaker 3No, like, you know, what do you expect it?
Listen and too close to the work to judge it for him or herself, right, that is why there are critics.
Yes, true, you know, like I mean, he's entitled to his opinions, just like we are.
You know, you have a favorite and what he thinks is best and what is his masterpiece?
But yeah, I I disagreed with what he said.
Speaker 1Okay, so what would you?
Okay?
Speaker 2So what are the three things?
And we're not going to do fmk.
What are the three things?
Speaker 1With he said?
Speaker 2He said once when Tima his favorite in Gloria's Bashi's his best, but Kill Bill is his ultimate Quentin movie.
So what is your favorite Quentin Tarantina movie?
What is what do you think is actually his best movie?
And what do you think is the ultimate Quentin movie?
Speaker 3I do kind of agree that Kill Bill may be the movie that he was born to make.
Yes, yeah, I think that may be accurate.
The full one is best movie.
I mean, you can make an argument for Bastards, sure, but yeah, I don't.
I don't know that i'd call it his best.
It's hard to say.
I mean, I think objectively you kind of have to say it's pulp fiction, right.
Speaker 2I like pulp Fiction is his best movie, Yes, like hands down.
Speaker 3And it doesn't have to be your favorite, but it's probably the best.
Speaker 2But directors are like this.
They never look at, oh, my first movies are my great.
Speaker 3They see all the mistakes that they may exactly always want to think.
Speaker 1The next one is the greatest one.
Speaker 2Right, it's no surprise he chose two of his most recent ones in Bastards and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I'm really surprised he didn't mention Hateful Ay, but he did say with hate Fulate and Once upon Time are he thinks in Gloria's Bastards is his best script, and that Hateful Eate and Once upon Time in Hollywood are right behind.
I agree with him on that.
I think hate fully it is his is the best written film he's ever written, in my opinion.
Speaker 1But I do agree that Kill Bill is the quintessential to quin turn.
Speaker 2That's my favorite film period Barnott, of all his films, with Reservoir just right below it.
Speaker 3It's awesome.
I'm looking at the movies of the two thousands of book.
We're directly in front of my eyes, and just Kill Bill is on the spine of the book.
Yeah, it's not my favorite, and I wouldn't say Once Upon Time in Hollywood is my favorite either.
That's a fun hang movie.
And I get why he's in love with his last one and maybe why he's going to come up with a new one because he's like shit, like did I already just go out on the perfect note?
But to me, there's just something about Jackie Brown.
There's just so I really, I really do.
I think if there's just something special in that romance that she has with Max Cherry played by Robert Forster.
So that would probably be my favorite.
But hey, you know masters entitled, and I'll tell you when he said, well, you know, I gave my script of Fincher because me and him are the best two directors.
I tweeted, where's the lie?
I mean, we have this and they are the best few directors in my.
Speaker 1Opinion currently working.
I would agree with you there.
Speaker 3Yeah it's great, but like quite the Tarantino would never make a movie as bad as an air advice.
That's like impossible.
Yeah, and I know I wasn't a fan of MANK.
Maybe MANK was like more not my cup of tea that I just thought was like bad, like inherentvice.
I don't care for MANK at all, but you know, with the Killer, and that was the most rewatchable movie from that year.
Speaker 1Killer was great.
Speaker 2Yeah, I love MANK because I'm a big Citizen Kane fan, so it speaks my language.
Speaker 1But yeah, I can understand that I.
Speaker 3Would wait for what the two like, what their baby looks like.
Yeah, it may not be as good looking as that either parent, you know what I mean, right, but like fascinated to see what that collaboration looks like.
Speaker 1But he has worked well with others.
Speaker 2I mean, I think Troe Romance is one of the best Tony Scott films, and it's with the script and not your one killers well under Oliver Stone favorite movies.
So yeah, yeah, so we'll see the one thing he said about the movie Critic was fascinating, though, when he said, who wants to see a TV show about a fucking movie critic?
Speaker 1Who wants to see a movie called the movie critic?
Speaker 2That was the test if I can actually make a movie or TV show about someone who actually watches movies.
Speaker 1Interesting.
Speaker 2I thought that was a bit like fuck you, Like I felt like when he said that, I was like.
Speaker 3Fuck you wrote it?
Yeah, I mean not at some point it was worth watched that people would watch this.
And meanwhile, if you weren't a writer, a screenwriter or a playwright, you know, because you're a famous writer, what do you think you'd be quenchin?
Speaker 2Yeah, that's the thing, Like he was already you you were a fucking video store clerk, madman.
You are absolutely already you were basically a critic already.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Right now with his podcast and the write ups for New BEV, like actively writes reviews.
Yeah, so, and and that just because you know, he does something or we you and I do something that doesn't make it movie worthy necessarily.
I understand where he's coming from on that front.
But they were they were weird quotes and like strangely impressive because it's like there's no reason he couldn't return to that one day.
Speaker 1Yeah, agreed, Agreed.
Speaker 3You can't listen, you can't trust any any of these directors.
I mean, let's go to the Nia DaCosta quotes.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, do you want to talk about those?
Speaker 2Okay, you know, it's just like we're getting close to the hour mark.
Speaker 3But later, gold Bone Temple like amazing script al Scarland.
I wish I'd had stronger scripts before with Marvel and with The Candyman.
I bet you I could go back to those press tours and she'd be praising the Candyman's right, right, right, because that's the game.
And this is the thing about Hollywood.
It's always the next movie is the best one.
This next movie, Oh my god, greatest scriptor I've ever read.
I can't wait for you to see it.
Three years from now, she'd be doing something else.
You'd be like, ah, you know, Bone Temple just got away from me.
That one.
I didn't know what.
Speaker 2Yeah, because if it doesn't get well received, then yeah, she's gonna blame.
Speaker 1And that's survivalist, right.
Speaker 2Hollywood is about surviving, and especially as a black female filmmaker, you're not gonna have a lot of opportunities, and.
Speaker 1So you want to.
Speaker 3Female director.
Speaker 2Yeah, and that's great, but you know you want to keep getting those opportunities.
And so I think this is an interesting road she's chosen because including Candyman in this is kind of shitting on Jordan Peel a little bit byrect I completely agree.
Speaker 3I was like, whoa, all rights fired in their development process?
Speaker 2Yeah, I hear on the Marvels thing.
That makes a lot of sense.
You watched that movie.
It's such a terribly britten and constructed film, right, she did that.
I think she did the best she could with that.
I don't think she deserved blame for how that film turned out.
I know the anti wokefuckers love to blame her, but I don't, And I think it's more a matter of, like, there were too many cooks trying to make that thing working.
Speaker 1In the end, it just did not work.
Speaker 3But Kendy Man was after Captain Marvel, right.
Speaker 1No, y was Kenny Man was, yes, after Captain Marvel, but before the Marvels.
Speaker 2So yeah, but I mean Bo DeMeo picked that up on Twitter.
It's like, yeah, yeah, if you guys aren't following bow right now.
He is on one on his Twitter about Marvel, and I don't know how he's saying all this stuff when he claims he has a lawsuit and he can't talk about other things because all the other stuff he's talking about is really related to the things connected to his lawsuits.
So I find it fascinating the road he's walking.
One last thing, Jeff or two lessons real quick thirty seconds YouTube?
But do you think the oscars will get YouTube?
YouTube apparently is interested in getting the oscars.
I said this for years on Collidter mail bag, that it would end up on YouTube.
Speaker 1Do you think it will eventually come to YouTube?
Speaker 3I think that would be great for YouTube and probably great for the Academy.
I mean they'd be able to boast a ridiculously high number.
Then I'm sure it would put up on YouTube.
Here's the question.
Is the live chat the comments?
Are they open or closed?
Speaker 1Wow?
Man, that's a great point.
Speaker 3That is a great like the live chat next to the like you're just watching the oscars and you're just seeing this.
It would go so fast you wouldn't even be able to keep up with it.
But yeah, imagine the comments under that I would.
Speaker 2Just do a live watch along of the chat.
I just wouldn't do a live watch ONNG.
Speaker 1That would be amazing.
Speaker 2And one last thing, Terrence Stamp passed away Brother Zod the Limey yes Man.
One of my favorite films of his Billy budd which he was nominated for an Oscar for so many fantastic films, Young Guns wall Street passed away at eighty seven years old.
Speaker 1Your thoughts on Terrance Stamp, any feelings.
Speaker 3On always a respected character actor to me?
I, you know, I haven't seen a lot of the early movies that put Terrence Stamp on the map.
I've seen the Limeys obviously great than that.
You know, Priscilla Queen of the Desert right now, can't be rule for him.
Yeah, I've always appreciated his presence, but he's not one that like, I'm gonna sit here and cry over necessarily.
Speaker 1Real quick tidbit.
Speaker 2He was in line to play James Bond after Sean Connery walked away from the role, but apparently his take on it was so dark that they did not call him back for a second interview for Bond.
Speaker 1So that lets you know he's always had that darkness in him.
All right, let's get into questions.
Speaker 2Jeff Cody Hunt says, my favorite film by Tarantino's Jango, three Oscar caliber performances.
John, you should like you should, you should cover it on cinophause if you haven't already.
Uh No, I don't think we've done Jango, So yeah, definitely, what are the.
Speaker 3Three Oscar caliber performances?
Speaker 2Probably yeah, and Jamie Fox and Samuel l I would imagine.
Speaker 3Yeah, like I think it's Waltz, DiCaprio, Jackson.
I don't think the Box was good, but he's actually not who I think of first.
Okay, Jackson was amazing.
Speaker 2If if it was a TV movie, I had put Don Johnson up there for guest guest actor because his sequence is incredible.
Connor Prazoonski says, how is Andy serkis going to film Batman two and direct LOTR at the same time next spring?
Speaker 1Oh?
Maybe because he might not be in a lot of the movie.
I don't know.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's that's certainly possible.
Yeah, who knows.
All I know is that six people have read this rift.
And if you've heard anything fucking otherwise the lion or they guessing.
Speaker 1Six people.
Speaker 2Matt sister mccausa sketches in my top five of twenty twenty five.
Didn't expect that I am going to have to see this movie.
A lot of people were speaking highly of this film.
Speaker 1Have you seen it?
Speaker 3I have not.
I want to see it.
It's still in the coming soon section of my blog spot, which has been updated.
Oh and uh yeah, I wish I'd been by to do a presscreen or something off to check it that when it hits the bud.
Speaker 2All right, Evan, Since speaking of Cott Stealing and DC, anything on Aeronofsky's Plastic Man or him with DC in general.
Speaker 1Also, I call bs On Kravitz not being a Batman too.
Speaker 3Okay, that's fine.
I'm not saying that she is or she isn't.
I'm just saying that this is what was said at the Cot Stealing junket five.
I haven't heard anything on Plastic Man.
We'll see if he still gets to make Plastic Man after Cott stealing opens.
Speaker 2Uh and yeah, I don't think it's part of the Superman saga, so I don't think it's gonna get a chance to do it.
Speaker 1So that's a new direction Superman.
Speaker 2Matt Syster McCall will Jaws fiftieth make more money than Cought Stealing.
Speaker 1Probably, No, Jaws is a good movie.
People love it.
Speaker 3Still old people people have seen Jaws, and we just did the three D version a few years so.
Speaker 1No, I don't know.
Oh right, good point.
Speaker 2By the way, speaking of Jaws, the Cinophile is part one of our deep dive into Jaws.
We revisited that film.
We did it like years ago, only for an hour and a half, two hours.
We're going deep into this one.
So part one is up now wherever you download podcasts.
Jay Anderson said, I find it baffling that people believe James Gunn's word has any credibility.
Speaker 3Oh you said it, not us, Jay.
Speaker 2There's a lot of people get mad at our feelings over James gun A lot of me, I know, a lot.
Speaker 3Of these millionaire studio heads need defending from.
Speaker 2Cody Hunt says, I don't care if it's in a movie, but there's a mysed creative opportunity if Miliaudi and Kravitz don't interact at some point in the Batman universe.
Yeah, because it was wasn't that tease at the end of the Penguin that there was a contact between them too?
Speaker 3So yeah, maybe she Isn't it possible?
Maybe the publicists we're lying.
Speaker 1Billy J.
Thank you Philog for the support.
You're the best.
Speaker 2Cody Hunt says, Uh.
Thoughts on Spike Lee Challo may team up.
Uh, I don't know that Challome would do it right now, but I'd be down to see it if there was a possibility of them teaming up.
Speaker 3Spike Lee is absolutely dreaming and I don't think that Chalome's reps would let him make a miss step like that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Evan says that Camera Crow is a legend, but he is washed.
Also, Highest to Lowes was fun, but it doesn't come close to Kisawa's masterpiece saw it in thirty five millimeters once?
Well, I one thousand percent agree with you on that it does not come close to heindlow But it is.
Speaker 1A fun watch.
You know.
Speaker 2I can't believe your friend went off on it for twenty minutes.
Wow, I'm two f like Cam says.
So Lucasfilm is handing a trilogy to someone making a star Trek film and has a spotty record.
Speaker 1What could go wrong?
Speaker 2Any Ahsoka news is green Blat back, Arianna green Blatz coming back to be in ah Sosoka.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 3Green Blatt.
I don't watch a Soaka.
I don't even know who she plays or anything one way or the other.
Speaker 1Just talk about lucasfilm, Kimberg, the Kimberg.
Speaker 2Yeah, Spidy record, Well, everyone's got a spotty rerec Well, a lot of people have spody records, and Holly wouldn't keep working.
Speaker 1We just talked about Cameron Crowe, Ali sabith It sa is Hey guys.
Speaker 2Director Carl Rinch was in a state of psychosis at the time of alleged Netflix fraud.
Defense argues, what's the story with this guy?
Has psychosis?
Speaker 1Has ever driven either of you to waste money?
Speaker 3Yeah?
I was in a state of psychosis when I bought a ticket for forty seven ronin But film thikes, what is what is up with this guy?
I think he's I think he's a fraud who took a lot of money from Netflix and spent it on luxury mattresses.
And he deserves what he's going to get, which is jail time.
Yeah.
Speaker 2Probably h Cody Hunts's thoughts on Regina and An are returning for a scary movie.
Speaker 1I love it.
I think it's great.
Speaker 3Jeff Bad Bad move what why?
First of all, if you bring them back, you bring them back as a cameo and a you know, homage to the first movie or whatever.
But you gotta move on like this, like this is nonsense, that we're just like, I don't I don't know if they're gonna be the leads or not.
They could very well be cameos, but you don't lead your casting announcements with the two of them.
Speaker 1Fair point.
Speaker 2Evan says Quentin's best is either Jackie Brown or Once upon a Time in Hollywood.
I would take Jackie over once although although that ending, I hate that ending.
Everything up to the ending is fucking fantastic.
Speaker 3What what ending?
And Jackie Brown?
Speaker 2Oh, once upon a Time in Hollywood?
Speaker 1Calm down, calm down?
Speaker 2Uh dirty mother Tasn tollsand says, really looking forward to tip this year?
Speaker 1Jeff?
Speaker 2What tip movies?
Are you looking forward to the most this year?
Hoping I can get tickets for Hamnet?
Speaker 3I still don't know what I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, you haven't gotten.
Speaker 3I got in.
I just don't and I want to spend the money to go.
It's pretty petty, it's not cheap, so but yeah, look what movies am I looking forward to.
If you do go, I'll tell you I like, what the fuck is some bad ideas or whatever?
That comedy duo.
Oh yeah, Ry Barker has a horror movie in the midnight section.
It seems way too long based on the running time, but I am curious what that dude cooks up.
Even though I didn't like Milk and Cereal or whatever that short film that got on earlier this year Ali Smith.
Speaker 2He says he should have made the critic and the critic a serial killer who writes film criticism by day and stalks his favorite film actors and directors by nights.
Speaker 1Hey, not a bad idea.
Speaker 3I mean I have an idea alan for a movie where a filmmaker goes after critics who have given him bad reviews.
He calls them at Sundance one by one.
Speaker 2Oh my god, one night in Sundance Masson, I heard anything on Lurker.
Is relay worth seeing?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Screenings is starting to have for relay.
Sorry, relay.
Speaker 3Relays terrific.
The same caller who bitched about highest to lowest for twenty minutes was a big fan of relay and thank me for that recommendation.
You know you guys, absolutely go see Relay.
It's just a terrifically cackling, well written thriller.
Lurker is going to be the next thriller that I'm going to hopefully be using those same words on.
And I think I'm gonna see it a Thursday night.
I can't wait.
Speaker 2I just got the screener for any Meaning, so I want to see if that's good.
Oh yeah, I'm sitting to take a look at it and see if it's any good.
Oh and I started we started task last night.
Speaker 3And Rebarbo Carevil.
Speaker 1That's all I'm gonna say.
Fuck, It's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2Wayne Edwards says, the Cinophals did do Django, one of your best.
Speaker 1See.
Speaker 2We've done so many movies I forget.
I need to get a list done.
Thank you, Wayne, I appreciate it.
Great to see you, brother.
Thanks for reminding me, Evan says christ And thanks for the compliment, Evan.
Chris seen and Jackie Brown is fucking funny.
Yes, agreed, Get in the get in the trunk, Get in the trunk.
That shit is fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1All right, let's move over to the stream labs.
Speaker 2Here a fantastic through fourteen, says Hey, hot Mike, showing some love for my dudes.
Speaker 1Thank you, Fred.
Speaker 2Question of all the movies you've seen so far in twenty twenty five, what's your favorite movie line you've heard?
And from where?
Mine is if you put an AI in a human brain, it's not going to ride shotgun.
That's good, Jeff.
Do you have a favorite line from a movie in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1Do you have aids which which what movie is that?
Speaker 3In?
Weapons?
Speaker 1Oh?
Speaker 2Oh right, okay, Jesus right, I forgot I think mine would be what Hailey Steinfelder Steinfeld says to Uh to one of the brother's day when he's talking, when she's talking about you put it in me and then blah blah blah like.
Speaker 1That was I was.
I was like shocked in my seat.
Otis Glasgow says, Hi.
Speaker 2Do you happen to know anything about Joe Cohen's next solo film that Josha O Connor.
The streets are saying it's been scrapped mid production.
God, Jeff, the rumors are the Coen Brothers a getting back together.
Speaker 1What do you hear about this?
Speaker 3The rumors are that he that Cohen started filming a movie with Josh O'Connor, and they pulled the plug halfway through.
Speaker 2That's what he's saying.
That the streets said it's been pulled in mid production.
Speaker 3I don't know if I think he's maybe just misreading Jordan's report from earlier today.
I don't know that it ever actually went before cameras.
It seems like we would have heard about the rest of the cast if that was.
Speaker 2Here's what Jordan says, the the film had its production stalled in Scotland.
I'm told that is not shoran.
In fact, he's actually just started shooting.
That's what his latest update on this was on him.
Speaker 3So the movie's not canceled, right.
Speaker 2I got tipped this morning about how Joel's Jack's Bad Star on Josh con which was supposed shoot summer, had his production stalled in Scotland.
Speaker 1I'm told that it's not too.
In fact, he's actually just started shooting, so that isp.
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3Well then false alarm much you do about nothing?
Speaker 1Question answered Glasgow.
Speaker 3I have no interest in seeing that Honey Don't movie, though, yeah.
Speaker 1I know we've talked about it.
Speaker 2No interesting, Nolan has got nothing to do with it being women or lesbian anything like that.
It's just the film.
The style of the film looks annoying as fun.
Nolan de Palma says, glad to watch live for the first time.
Thank you and support two of the best in the business.
Oh well, I'm in I'm in Snyder's wake.
Speaker 3I can do ten more minutes.
Speaker 1By the way, Okay, what.
Speaker 2Are some of you guys favorite movie related items that you own?
Mine is my Halloween Blu ray box set and my Bookie Night's Mondo poster.
Speaker 1Keep up the amazing work, guys.
Speaker 2Yeah, Mondo doesn't do posters like they used to before, right, I mean it's a shame.
Speaker 3Right Yeah.
By the way, I have a ton of posters I'm trying to get rid of.
So if there are any serious collectors in the area, so I'm not gonna ship these things.
They're all framed.
Oh wow, unless it's like you know, I got a few there not framed.
Speaker 2Why don't you Why don't you put that up on your Twitter and pin that post and then have pictures of each of them in the prices.
Speaker 1I think people will get it.
What's your favorite movie related that you own?
Speaker 3Good question.
It's not my favorite, but I'll tell you what I still have, and I don't think I'll give up for anything, which is a broke back mountain jacket.
Wow, corduroy jacket.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2I usually donate all my shit so that I get I guess I still have the Scarface box set, the original one they sent me with the actual model of the spinning globe thing at the end of the movie add in pristine condition in my closet.
I don't let that come out see the light of day at all, but I love it all right, Rolan says, John and Jeff any updates Spider Man Brand New Day and the X Men reboot movie?
Any updates on Spider Man Brand New Day and the X Men reboot move?
Yeah, Jeff, you got anything on that side of things?
Speaker 3No?
Okay, but I will say, and you may have, you know, seen the potential there on task where I think she's fantastic on your remio Emelia Jones.
Since I was watching ODA yesterday, I think Amelia Jones is so fucking talented.
Ah, and I could see.
Speaker 1Her being like rogue, oh yeah, like.
Speaker 3Much cheaper than Daisy Edgar Jones or Margaret Qualley.
Not that that's necessarily the role that they're up for, but I think she'd be great X man.
Speaker 2Yeah, yes, start looking at Tom Pelfrey two.
People need to start looking at Tom Pelfrey two.
Samuel said, Hey, y'all, just rewatched One Full of the Cougar's Nest in the theater for the first time.
That's my It was a new four kree master and it's still to this day one of my top favorite films of all time.
Which classic film would you want to rewatch but this time in theater?
I gotta say, Jeff, living in LA I've seen just about all the classic films I've ever wanted to see in a theater, So I don't know if I can answer this question.
Speaker 1What about you?
Speaker 3I was gonna say, I too, have seen a lot of great movies in the theater.
Yeah, shit, I gotta think about that.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean yeah, Like, I would love to see two thousand and one in Imax.
I've never seen two thousand and one in Imax.
If they ever put that in an Imax and like really cleaned it up and made it amazing.
Because I have the four K, I would love to see two thousand and one in Imax.
Speaker 3I can't I can't even keep track of like what I've seen, haven't seen on the Bitch or not.
But I guess I would have liked to have been there for Wait Until Dark As, which is one of my favorite old movies, the one with Audrey Heppert.
Like to actually have been in a theater where they kill the exit signs.
I believe that those were shut off at the end of the movie to immerse the audience in total darkness.
Yeah, that would be one.
Speaker 2Alan Arkin, Mike McKenzie.
Hey, guys, you see the Fallout season two pictures.
Does that mean we were getting a trailer soon?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Speaker 2Yes, yeah, I would say so.
Omar, says Jeff de leat the Weapon Franchises.
A's like fine Wine Number two is particularly good.
Patsy Kensi is so hot.
She was in that film for sure.
Have you heard anything on how to Rob a Bank?
Speaker 3Uh?
Yeah, I've heard you wear a fucking mask, you bring a fucking.
Speaker 1Gun, don't forget the come.
Speaker 3I haven't heard anything as to like how the movie's going.
It's a David Leach movie, though, I'm sure it'll be like all the others.
Speaker 1Yeah, and LEITHA Whipping two is still fantastic.
Speaker 3Deep the show.
Speaker 1It's just been revoked.
Speaker 2Ronan unchained.
Hey, John and Jeff I pumped.
I pumped as fuck for the adventures of Clinton Booth Clickbooth.
What can the QT put out until he makes his last film?
I feel like he should put out some paperbacks in the meantime, stories of his characters in his universe.
Speaker 1What do you all think?
Speaker 3Not a bad idea, Jeff, I want to see Quentin Tarantino on the MCU.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3I want to see him write a book about the MutL Cinematic Universe.
Speaker 1And then and then no thanks, no thanks.
I'll tell you this.
I think Tarantino should never make the tenth film.
Speaker 2That would be one of the most amazing cock tases that would last for the rest of existence.
Speaker 1People would would write novels, people.
Speaker 2Would create YouTube channels thinking about what Tarantino could have done for his last film and the fact if he never does it, I think it would be amazing.
Speaker 1It's amazing.
What a great way to stay legendary.
Evan says, Jeff.
Speaker 2Would you rather step in the ring with James Gunn or back in with the OUV bowl?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Speaker 2People are pointing out you threatening James Gunn getting into a boxing room.
Speaker 3Threatening James Gunn.
That's the title of my fucking autobiography.
Would I rather step in the ring with probably Uva again?
Because I feel like Uva the first time around, he was like motivated, right, and so he wanted to kick some ass.
But these days, eh, I don't know that he has the same fire James Gunn.
Though he might become motivated, he might be like, all right, I'm gonna work with corn Sweats trainer.
I'm gonna shut this fucking guy once up.
Uh, once and for all.
Speaker 1Jennifer Holland will be there to mess with your head too, So just a duck.
Speaker 2Do you know anything about the upcoming horror film Psycho Killer.
Saw it on twentieth Century Schedule and it seemed interesting.
Speaker 3I haven't seen anything on that Gavin Polone's movie.
Seems like it's been in post production for a long time.
Yeah, we'll see.
Not to cast any aspersions, all right.
Speaker 2Eric Kurby, Jeff, If you were anything about good the Good about Good Boy, the horror movie with the dog, Yeah, trailer was mad.
Speaker 1It's crazy.
Speaker 3It was a cool uh cool trailer.
I mean I watched it.
It was a little too dark on my phone when I watched this morning, so I need to give it another look.
But looks like an interesting perspective.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2At PG thirteen though, so we know the dog's not dying, Mario ar Barbera says, if Rachel's like had kept her mouth shut about her personal opinion on the original Snow White animated film and tried acting like she was grateful to betray her, then maybe it wouldn't have caused an uproar.
Speaker 1Just my opinion.
Speaker 2I don't think you're wrong, But again, I think if the movie was good, it wouldn't have mattered.
It would have done better if the movie was actually good because people have short attention spans, and that was a year before the movie came out that interview, so you know, or longer, so I think peop would have forgot about it.
Speaker 1Jeff, what do you think?
Speaker 3I don't know, as someone who had experience in having every single person on the internet seemingly remember every single word I've ever written, I don't know if people do have short memories, but who knows who does?
Speaker 2All right, that's the last super chat.
