Episode Date: August 13, 2024

Superman is the big anticpated relaunch film of James Gunn's DCU. He has just finished it and now says he doesn't see any reshoots happening. Is this a good move? I think it is brilliant.

Superman, no reshoots, not a one. How come? Smart move? Bad move? Someone said, well, he's done movies before with little reshoots. Ah, ha, ha, ha. We didn't say little reshoots. We said no reshoots.

Big difference. So we'll get into that. Beetlejuice, beetle juice. I only said it twice. There are some big swings that they said went down in the movie itself. A big swing that I've been trying to take that I took. Warner Brothers back in the day was He-Man, Masters of the Universe, and so many different versions.

of this thing didn't come to play. Well, it looks like Travis Knight's version is going to happen, and there's a few more updates to that. There's some other stuff. There's James Cameron is going to do another Terminator movie. After I saw Alien Romulus, I hope in Fedi Alvarez does it. Can't give a full review.

I can give a couple of spoiler thoughts, and non-spoiler thoughts. So there you go. I see some people already putting in some super chats. And I don't know. So weird how this algorithm works. When I, when I,

we go, now the algorithm knows that we go live on Mondays and it lets everybody know. Hey, they're live on Mondays. So you come check it out. I'm going live on Tuesdays. Nobody knows. Oh,

this works. I give up. I'm just going to talk to you guys. So as you guys are putting in those, um, super chats, thank you for doing so. I appreciate it.

We're going to do, and we'll talk about a few other things. And that's it. So Apple Podcasts, Spotify, anywhere podcasts are fine. Find are, yeah, wherever they're fined, wherever they're found. Make sure you subscribe to them. We did, we're doing our first on Patreon today. We're doing a thing called the bar where we're basically getting a bunch of people together

that have to use to do these one-on-one sessions with me. And we're going to really build out this community and get to know a little bit more people inside of this community. There's some people who have their own YouTube channels, their own websites. So we kind of have, we're going to have like a little session. So if you want to join us today, join us on over on Patreon. We'll be over there. But let's get into it, everybody.

Here it is. This is the big thing. It's me and you. Here we go. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the big thing. Let's want to let you guys in on something. And I don't think you know this.

This is the text. I'm going to show you guys. Right? And this is literally, as I go on, you don't understand. you guys see all the all the happy stuff going on you don't see what I have to go through when I'm putting this together

constant things from all over the place this is the text I get dude is climbing up poop mountain whatever the fuck that means that is my that's my dog so he's climbing up a poop mountain that's this is what I get before I go live

with people I get dude is climbing up a poop mountain what do I do with that what am I supposed to do it that. First of all, I don't know what it means. Second of all, even if I did, can I stop him from climbing up a poop mountain while I'm here? I don't understand these texts. Who knows? Well, so how are you guys doing, man? I'm excited to be with you today. I was, I don't know if you watching, yeah, my dog texted me. That's exactly what happened. I don't know if you were here yesterday,

but we did the live stream with Roka myself and then the real rejects were going live at the same time. And we were going back and forth and we did this kind of like streamception, if you will. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. Made a good time. And it is, it's continues. When I was looking at both there streaming and this one, I mean, I think today what I want to do, like I said, is not a lot of topics that I'm going to really dive into.

I'm just going to dive into the ones that I chose today. And we'll discuss those. We'll go over those. And then if there's questions here, there's like a couple questions thus far and whatnot, we'll get into those questions. And if there's only a few, then there's only a few.

We'll do a short episode today. And that's how it goes. But I did see Alien Romulus last night. And as I said, there's an embargo on it. I can just tell you my initial thoughts walking out. And I enjoyed it. I really did.

And I'm finding myself, more and more as a big Fetti Alvarez fan. I like the way the guy crafts movies. I like the way he puts movies together. I like his pacing. Really like, what's your name? Kaley, give me a girl's name. Kaley Staney.

Is that it? Probably not. The one from Civil War. Haley Staney? Something along those lines. I think it's Kaylee. I'm close. You'll tell me really soon.

Someone will tell me. Kaylee Spani, I'm going to guess. And I think Yes, I was right. Kaylee Spaney, great. Kaylee Spaney is awesome. She's a really, I liked her in Civil War. And again, help me out again.

What was she in besides Civil War? Because there was something else before that that she was in. And she's really, she's really good. She's really, really good. She was good in Civil War. I remember that. And then there was something before that. I just can't remember.

I mean, the second someone puts it out there, they're going to, I'll say, oh, yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of. And I'll see if I, as I'm looking at the comments here. No, the big robot, I'm another big robot movie. What big robot movie? What was that?

She was in the new craft. I didn't see that. Pacific Rim. I saw it, but I don't remember it. Maybe not. Maybe that's Ventures of Millie. Didn't see that.

So none of this shit. Priscilla, no, didn't see Priscilla. Maybe that's what it was, though. I think it was Priscilla that someone had mentioned to me. I didn't see Priscilla though. But that's the one I was thinking of, not that I had seen it. But people were talking about it.

I think that maybe the first thing that really stood out with her was definitely Civil War. Oh, was she an Evil Dead remake? That's what it was. Thank you. Was it Evil Dead? If she was in the Evil Dead remake, then yes. Then that's exactly what it was. And it would make sense because Fedi Alvarez, right?

I would make, this is what I want this show to be today. I'm going to, a mayor of Easttown is the other one. Look at you guys. ass. That's it. It was mayor of Easttown. She was the daughter Annette. Sons of bitches. You did it. You did it. Oh, it wasn't her. Never mind. See, you didn't do it. I like this type of show today. I really do. And even for the podcast listeners, the audio listeners, you get what's going on. There's people talking to me in the chat. We're having a discussion. It's a little community that we're doing. And here we go. So if I ask for some

help and that's it. I meant evil dead redhead. No, no, she wasn't in it. Okay, never meant. She wasn't in. What was she in? Was she in mayor of Easttown though? Is that what it was? Maybe, maybe I thought, maybe that's what it was. Anyway. But nonetheless, Alien Romules, good, good flick. I like the, I really like that pacing. And I think the reason I liked it maybe even more than I would have is because it stuck to what I've been preaching. It felt like that old style of filmmaking of it to ship. They're running around, running away from aliens, and they don't have to go too big. What's that? I don't even know they have the budget yet.

If I'm going to guess, I'm going to guess that that movie costs $70 million to make. Alien Romulus budget. Now, they probably don't have it listed yet. 70 million. Nailed it. 70 million. That's what they say. Perfect.

It's what I'm talking about. You get a cast that can deliver what you're looking for. You shoot the old school way. You put it in one particular location. You use your budget when you need to use it. And you use the music the right way. You use the sound the right way. And you tell a story.

And I hope this movie makes tons of cash. Because this is the kind of stuff I want to see. And, you know, I'm not even going to, I was going to open up with the Superman story, and I'm not going to because I want to get to this Terminator story, because it's relevant to what I'm talking about right now. And here, this is from Dark Horizons. This is James Cameron is planning a new Terminator. Filmmaker, James Cameron has revealed that he's working on a new Terminator project.

What the hell that means? Cameron famously directed the first two films in the sci-fi action franchise, but since then has mostly been hands-off until 2019's Terminator's Dark Fate, which he returned as a producer. Not great news there that he did that. How much of a producer? I'm hoping the answer is not much, because that's not a good move. Cameron is currently out with media

promoting his new Net Geo documentary Ocean Explorers when the Hollywood Reporter asked him about the Terminator franchise, more specifically the upcoming Terminator Zero animated series later this month. He says he's not involved in it, but he does find it interesting. During his answer came this bombshell. It looks interesting. My relationship to that is very much like

the Saracana Chronicles. Other people spinning stories. Let me get this for you. I'm going to show you what. I want you to see this. I want you to see it. I'll just see the quote. Here's the quote.

Just for you. Right there. Ready? Perfect. Let's do that again. It looks interesting. My relation to that is very much like the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Other people spinning stories in a world that I set in motion is interesting to me.

What's their takeaway? What intrigued them about it? Where are they going with it? It looks like they're going back to the root cause of judgment day, the nuclear war. and whether that's an ultimate timeline. I'd be curious to see what they've come up with. I'm working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It's got nothing to do with that.

Like with the Sarah Connor Chronicles, they occasionally touched on things I'd been playing with completely independently. So there's some curiosity there. It's not a burning curiosity, but it's obviously it'd be nice to see it succeed. Now, what the hell to make of that? I don't know.

I don't know what to make of it. The first thing that you can say is, if he's going to direct it, then I don't care how much the movie makes. I mean, movie costs. If he's going to direct the movie, which he's not, he's got 87 freaking avatar movies coming out, and he's going to put all of his attention to those.

So he's not going to direct any Terminator movies, at least I don't think. But if he's going to direct it, let's put that scenario there first. Then fine. Put $150 million in it. Because it's James Cameron. So one time I'm going to say,

spend as much as you want, you'll make it back. I never bet against them. I never bet against James Cameron. I don't care. I will never do it, no matter what. You just, you, oh, you spent too much money in that boat movie. It's going to fail.

Shut up. Oh, blue people, an alien movie, never work. Shut up. It's a sequel no one cares about. It's been too long. It's not going to make any money. Shut your ass. That's, that's anytime someone says anything about James Cameron now,

so if he's going to direct it, I don't care. He's going to make it for $400 million. You're going to make money. Eat your own turds. That's what I would say. And you know how I am about, about this money. me. Bring it down. So that's why I said, if he's not directed, then what they should do is knock on Fetti Alvarez's door and say, listen, man, what you're doing with what you did with evil

dead, what you did with Alien Romulus, we want you to do that with Terminator. Give me a $60 million terminator. Can you do it? Because if you get a cast, that's as good as this cast. And they had a good cast in the evil dead also it cost you nothing and they bring you quality and you make it for 60 million dollars 70 million dollars and tell me a story that's what i'm what i'm hoping for this is why i liked alien romulus and what it did it it really brought forward that point that i've been hammering down to you guys that you're sick to death of it and i hope they do more stuff like this if you're going to if you're going to do these remakes if you're going to do these things whether it's something like robocop or if you're going to people were talking yesterday we're talking

Indiana Jones. Nobody wants to see another Indiana Jones movie, right? But if you did it for $50 million and he's, okay, a smaller movie in Indiana Jones, it looks more intimate, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully it's good. You know, that's the way you make these movies. And it's the way you can make up damn profit. I'm so curious to see how this movie does because I'm going to have egg on my face. If I come back and this movie bombs, I don't think it is though. I really don't think it's going to bomb. I think it's, I get that Deadpole Wolverine is still out in the theaters right now and it's still making money. But I just, I think that this is, there was, there was excitement in the air at this screening that I saw. Robocomp was ass. How dare you? How dare you? You're

talking about the original? How dare you? You're talking about the remake. Fine. That was fine. Just dull. How dare you talk about the original like that? How dare you, sir? Um, but I'd like to see a, like a Blumhouse version of that. I was like, take these IP properties. Do the reverse, man. Do the reverse. They're taking these IPs and they're going out there and to spend all this money on it. Do the reverse. Spend less. Spend less. Get good actors, good stories and get good directors that are going to bring some intensity to it because, man, there's the usage of sound in the new movie and maybe even the lack of sometimes is just it's incredible. And that type of stuff. And he knows how to I'm becoming a really big Fedi Alvarez fan.

I always admired his stuff, but I'm becoming a really big fan because he knows, it's like that old school kind of way of filmmaking that you just don't see anymore. Someone who just relies on the tools and not just, I hope though, there's a lot of directors like that though,

you know, now as he becomes more successful, they're like, okay, here, you know what? Now you've got $150 million. We can do with that. And then it just becomes the same cog in the wheel. Machine, whatever the hell is stupid statement is. So, you know,

whether or not that report of James Cameron doing a Terminator movie or Terminator project, whatever that means, it's vague. See, I'm working on my own Terminator thing.

So, I don't know how that's, how that's going to play. Very curious to what you guys think. Got two questions in there so far. That's fine. It'll be a short show when we get to the question portion of the show,

because we still got other things to talk about. I guess we should get to this Superman thing because I want to really get my point. Let's see. You know, before I get to my point, let me just tell you guys real quick because I'm excited to tell you about two of our really good sponsors,

So I've told you guys, and you guys know, a lot of you guys know that when you actually get one of the sponsors that obviously you're helping the show out, you guys know that. I've gotten messages about it that said, hey, I tried it out. I did this.

I did that. What maybe you didn't know is that I just put it in the in the comment section right there, whether it's liquid IV or HIMS, if you click on that link that I just posted right there, just click on it. Do me that favor right now. People who are watching, just click on it.

That helps. Okay, let's get to this Superman thing. And I do see, by the way, and people don't know. I see there's another super chat that came in. So when those come in at the end of these topics, whenever those are, I will get into the conversation and I will ask some more answers, answer those questions. I went into the city last night, which was fun, learning the, learn the subway system a lot more than I used to. I'll tell you what's a good place. And I think I've talked about it once before.

If you've gone to Penn Station, Penn Station is so different now. It's changed for my New York people out there. I can't believe Rose's Pizza is a lot better than it should be at Penn Station. Really good. The sauce is excellent. Really, really good. Anyway. All right.

Let's get into this topic here because I really want to dive into it as I talked about it yesterday. Come on, stupid. And that is Superman. This movie, I love Superman from being a kid, the Christopher Reeve movies, really shaped my childhood. It was one of my favorite things in the world. And I just loved what he brought to the character of Richard Donner did to it. And I like, I really, really enjoyed Man of Steel. I think I like it more than most.

And I loved what they actually did with how Hans Zimmer took over and did his own score with it. And everything Henry Cowell brought to the role. I liked how Zach Snyder handled that. I liked the different take on it. I know that, you know, I'm excited to see the traditional Superman, but I didn't mind seeing the version of kind of where the hope was kind of lost a little bit more and this darker role. I didn't mind it.

I liked it. But we're getting that old school Superman back and James Gunn's bringing it back. So when James Gunn announced that he was taking, well, first of all, when they're taking over the DCU and that this was going to be really the first one. It's a bring it back. this is like the pillar of the DC universe. You could argue Batman, but Batman, I think most people would agree with that whether it's Christian

Bales Batman or Ben Afflex or whoever, Batman's really been leading the charge as overall as far as popularity goes with the fan base, as far as who you think of right away when you think of the leader. I mean, even Henry Cavill was kind of, you know, lost in the shuffle in a lot of most of the movies when someone's popping up it's it's ben aphlet and you know like henry cavil was kind of lost so putting superman as the front and center and james gun cast very well this is not going to be a 60 million dollar movie but it's

going to cost a little bit less because he's getting the cast like a david corin sweat um like a Rachel Brosnahan, all really good performers. Even Nicholas Holt, not that expensive. And they will be in the sequels. But for now, you build out what you can build out and maybe, you know, you spend your money, how are you going to spend it? But one of the ways he's not going to be spending money is in reshoots. And I mentioned this on the show yesterday.

I'm going to reiterate. James Gunn has basically said he doesn't foresee any reshoot. Doesn't see it happen. And I saw in the comment section earlier that someone said, well, yeah, he doesn't traditionally do a lot of reshoots. Doesn't do a lot of them. He doesn't even doing any. Now, they usually always say we're going to do some because usually what happens is the studio

and the production company when they hire the director, they go, okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to put this person on the, okay, if we're hiring James Gunn, James Gunn, he's going to come in, he's going to do this, he's going to shooting all this stuff, and then we're going to have, they'll give us his cut, we'll watch his cut down, and then there'll be some things that we're going to want to reshoot and make sure he does this. We'll give him more notes and go out there and we have that slated for that's what we always tell everybody when they go, oh, they've reshoots. There's always reshoots slate. And the fact that they say, because

the studio and other people go, well, you know, we didn't get that. And sometimes it's because the director said, I didn't get a chance to shoot that so-and-so wasn't available. Oh, shoot. We just thought of that now. I wish we could have thought of that a little earlier, but do we have the reshoot, let's go shoot it. And that's what usually happens in scenarios like that. And the production company will say, hey, you know, we have our reshoots. We really want him to shoot this thing again. Go out there and do it. But this time around, as I said on the show, he, he's the one making the decisions.

So he doesn't want to use his reshoots because he knew he got all of his reshoots. And I'm not going to spend any of that reshoot money. Doesn't need to because when he was there, he said, oh, I'm going to need this, this, this and this. Oh, I thought of something new. I'm going to shoot it today. I'm going to shoot everything. So what it does is it says,

Hey, I got enough confidence in this thing that I don't need to do reshoots. There's going to be any reshoes. We're not going to have to use those at all. We got everything we wanted to. Even though we had reshoots, if we need them, don't need them. We got it all. Because he did all his reshoots already. He's the guy.

He's the person. He's the one that's saying, okay, I like my cut. Who's, who? Oh, what about a Zolov? Come on. Zolov, he's not, he's not watching cuts and saying, go shoot this. He gave saffron.

Maybe saffron says at 1.8, Jen, did you like that? Do you want to do that? Again, he talks to him about it. I think you need to shoot anything? He's like, no, I'm good. He's like, all right, you're good. And that's it. So it's a brilliant move by post-

I don't think we're going to need reshoots. Oh, really? He's that confident in the movie. He knew from the second he wasn't going to do reshoots. Because he looked at it and he doesn't have anybody chirping over his shoulders. And anybody's saying, hey, you need to do this, do this, do this. I guarantee you some of the other movies have reshoots.

the ones that he's not directed because he's going to say, hey, we need you to do some reshoes because he's a guy. And he's going to, or he could very well say, hey, if you have everything in mind, you know what you want to do and you have it. But it's out there for you if you need it. But it's a good confidence builder to the fan base. And you get people talking and going, hey, look at this. No reshoots. They know exactly what they want to do. It's a brilliant move. It's a good PR move. It's a good move overall.

It's a good confidence builder. I think it's great. Yeah, see, that's the whole point. Someone said no research means confidence through the roof. Yeah, because he did him all. And he knew any, and by also saying that, he gets that comment out of you. It's brilliant. Very smart.

Did he do many research for a suicide squad? I don't know. I don't know who was running the shop at that point. But if I was to guess, they probably had him do. some because they're like we can we should have them do some things we want them to do this we saw hey james we were thinking you know if you can change that would you do that yeah you know what i can go back and i can do that i got so and so i got margot coming in we'll do it fine yeah we're scheduled to do it sure what do you want me to shoot sometimes they don't even use the stuff that they do

with their issues but they have their issues and they're ready to pay for him we did it he didn't need it because he said he's sitting there going to bed at night writing the script going oh you know what i got this i'll make a phone call tomorrow we'll shoot that instead and then who do you got to sign off with me and Pete that's it I don't have to sign off with anybody to me that's the that is the benefit and the reason why with him in charge of doing his own thing it's daunting and the idea of like saying hey I got to direct the first movie that I'm in charge of it's ballsy as shit and it really it's like it's like one it's you can't say because there are a lot of executives you could say what do you direct a movie see we

you can do. You put all this pressure on these guys. Let me you direct the movie. He's like, okay, I'll start. I'm going to start by directing the movie and put everything in motion. So everybody follows my lead. It's a great leadership move. It's a great leadership move. And by doing it this way, the guy is a very smart businessman as much as he is creative. This is a very smart, smart play overall by what he's doing. So I think it's, I think it's a really good, it really does. It just insults confidence. It shows leadership.

And it shows that, you know, when you really, when you dig a little bit, you go, yeah, he knows what he's doing. Because you can see it. He's just, it's, you guys sit in the comments. Oh, that shows confidence. It does. But it also shows calculation in what he knew he was going to do. Like, if he was a tough shoot and he wasn't confident in what he was doing, he's got

the reshoot, say, oh, damn it, you know what? I didn't have this. I really wish I would have had that. I got to use those damn reshoots. But he did all this stuff and did all the rewriting and everything he had to do. And he did it on set. Now, we don't know. We haven't seen a movie.

I could be changing and saying, maybe he should have done some reshoots because that scene was awful. I don't feel like that's going to happen. I don't feel like I'm going to say that. But there is a possibility. There's always a possibility. But that's when you roll the dice. And that's what he's doing.

He's rolling the dice. Good on him. I like the move. I like the move. I think it's great. And some people are wondering, what did Tom Cruise do? So is it Tom Cruise is officially nuts.

What did he do? I mean, no. Blanket statement. But anyway, what do you guys think? Get and put your comments in there. Getting close to the super chat side of it too. We got five in there.

So we'll be in, we'll be out, with some good ones. I saw already come in. So that's cool. What else will we got? I think there's some other, oh yeah, I want to do that He-Man story. Let's do that He-Man story. The He-Man story. Okay. So, soaps, there he goes. All right. Now we get to this one. He-Man. He-Man, the Masters of the Universe. Now, I don't know how many of you know my story with it. I don't want to tell it again and bore you all to tears, but I'm, I've been very attached to the human property, had something get picked up. Actually, it was working with the, the showrunner of a shogun on it,

who wrote a Justin Marks who wrote a really good version of the Masters of the Universe. And I wonder with that, I wonder now if he wanted to do that because of all his clout that he's got him with that top gun maverick. But he's not the one right now. Back in May, it was the news that Travis Knight will draw. direct the Masters of the Universe live action film at MGM, Amazon, and Mattel films with a movie due out in June 2026, and Nicholas, Nicholas Galzantine, no way, I said that right, said to play he man. Now for attorney reports that multi-award winner Fabian Wagner has been hired as the film cinematographer. Wagner is also known for his work on Zach Snyder's Justice

League and Overlord, loved Overlord. And in the Justice League, the Zach Snyder cut, shot very well. and his works on shows like Game of Thrones and Sherlock. Okay, I like where they're going. Creature from the Black Lagoon is also another story, but this is James Wan is in early talks in a film adaptation of the Universal Pictures Monster Classic, Creature from the Black Lagoon, yada, yada, yada, Mufasa, what's going on with Mufasa?

Let's see, there's more voice casting. Wicked has a new release for a TV spot. I'm going to tell you with Wicked, guys, When I first heard that I've never seen the Broadway music. I never seen the music. So I hadn't heard nothing but wonderful things about the musical. And so I was actually excited. I was actually excited when they announced these movies.

Trailers didn't do it for me. Am I, am I in the minority here? Do you guys like the trailers for Wicked? He was excited? At one point, I thought Wicked was going to be like a major moneymaker. I wonder,

and I, I'm curious. Maybe, maybe it will be. I haven't seen, let's get a yes or no in the chat right now. Excited to see Wicked? Yes or no? Let's just, I want to see all yeses and knows and on all that. I'm just, I want to see if it's mixed. I want to see if it's dominant one way or the other. Curious to who's, who wants to see Wicked because maybe I'm wrong. So there's a yes, where it starts with a yes. So yeah, there's three yeses, a couple of noes. Yes, another yes. Okay. So no, no, no.

Seems like it's, looks mixed. Not at home one day. Yes. It seems mixed. Okay. Yeah, a lot and you're right. Someone said people will probably want to take their kids to it. So maybe it does make money. I don't, I don't know.

I just, I just haven't liked the trailers thus far. So anyway, the certain things. And then my wife was watching, um, Bachelor in space, whatever was it last night. And she was watching that movie,

that show and they were doing a wicked thing. And it was just not, nothing that the movie has associated with it, but the bit that they were doing was so stupid, so goofy. Uh, so I was like, oh, come on.

But right audience, I guess, you know, going through right audience there. Um, and yeah, my daughter wants to see it. So that's,

that's true. I didn't, I just, uh, yeah, I looked and said, I don't know. Then again,

I've seen. said it before could come out of that movie and say it was really good oh this is hilarious thought about this too this is so funny um i was i was uh checking the you know my comments on the alien romulus thing by the way and i saw and someone said let me guess he loved it like he loves everything i said wait a minute now wait a minute you do me a thing and if you're one of those people who thinks i love everything or if you're one of those people who thinks i hate everything right because I've seen that. The two comments I see all the time is,

oh, he hates everything now. And the other ones, I love it. You guys got to get together. You have to get together, and you've got to vote. You got to vote.

What is it? Do I hate everything now or I love everything? You got to vote on it because it's too confusing to everybody. Because even the people who are just there, you know, eating popcorn and ready to comment something else about the movie, they see the company, well,

I don't understand. Does he love everything is or hate everything? You guys aren't in sync, and I don't like it. You need to be in sync. sync with each other because it just contradicts one another. If someone says, I love everything, and then the next person says, I hate everything, that's just, come on. You're not on the same page. You guys got to get together. I'm sure you're in the same space. This is bullshit. We don't like what

you're doing here. You got to be on the same page. Please, got to do a poll. Do I like everything? Do I hate everything? Right. Exactly. Um, okay. We got to do, he man you know talking about he man so as i said i worked on that thing loved it really wanted to do lord of the rings meet star wars i think that if they do it right i think they can make it um special because i don't there was the same thing we dealt with when i was pitching it in the first place back at warner brothers well it had a purple tiger in it so you can't take it seriously stupid that's such an executive comment it was a buddy might have said that too that's a call him out right now nevite well you guys know nevite stupid and i told him was a stupid comment he was the one

i pushed the reason i can give him that is he was the one that pushed and helped me get it through so i can bust his balls about it but there are those types of comments all the time there's a type of there's a purple panther there's a there's a green and there's a green and uh there's a green scared cat there's a skeleton face not going to work you can you got to do it right you got to have the right people doing it and you got to do science fiction meets magic and there's a way to do it there really is so i am this is the iteration of it all the other iterations i've been very nervous about and very skeptical about and said please don't go through there's a few of them that i was like please don't go through some of the casting that

happened i'm like please don't go through is so this is really going to just bomb um but i like what they're doing so far from the Travis night has got me on board since what he did with bumblebee. He just got it. He just got it. And so if he's able to do that, but bring the science fiction and magic, and then this kid that just did the Ann Hathaway movie,

I guess that's who he man is, right? Sure. Why not? Did I like borderlands? I didn't see it. I didn't see it. So there's no, there's no judgment there.

I haven't seen it. So if it was a stinker, there you go. So funny. though yeah yeah I guess love everything no I guess you're gonna hate this one shut um yeah yeah yeah um so yeah that's everything I think with is there any oh no the beetle juice thing let's get to the beetlejuicing because I'm yet another movie that it was on my most anticipated list it's still up there and I haven't really heard much about it come on

turn that off for it this is stupid all this is just dumb there you but beetle juice quickly just jumping up there more and more and more on my list can't wait and beatlejuice sequel the cast takes it says it takes big swings now one of the most anticipated films of the year is beetle juice beetle juice tim burton's long sequel to his sorry long awaited sequel to his iconic 1988 supernatural dark comedy 1988. Holy shit. That's been beloved by a generation. Burton's track record in recent years isn't as unassessable. What's the hell word is that?

Who cares? As it was once back in the day, late 80s, 90s. So there's understandable concern that the sequel won't live up to the quality of its predecessor. That's not the case according to several actors on the project. Speaking with Total Film Magazine, Michael Keaton says that he thinks the sequel has a stronger story than the first and more connections with various characters. There are like things in there that I was ready for.

There are beyond the lightful. Instead of saying, I can't wait until this thing shows up or I just want this thing called Beetlejuice to go nuts, when on a rider who returns to her role as Lydia Dietz from the first film agrees. I feel very confident that it's going to match and exceed expectations. It certainly did mine and mine are way up there. I literally think every generation can find something in there they're going to appreciate. Joining them is Justin Thoreau, who similarly has nothing but praise. This movie takes some big swings.

and it feels slightly out of control and unhinged. It has that vibe to it. It's clear that this movie was not made by talking points from audiences and studio notes and executives going, well, what's the most satisfying act three? This is 100% like someone opening the front of Tim Burton's head and letting it dump into the screen. It's a fabulous ride for exactly that reason. You also have Catherine O'Hare, General Ortega, yada, yada, yada,

comes out September 6th. Listen, man, I like that. I like what they're saying. I'm on board with that. I think that is what I want to hear. I want practical effects. Jumping back to what we just talked about with Alien Romulus. I love the fact that this movie comes out in September 6th.

It means it's not a huge big budget movie. I think it's going to be one of the biggest September movies of all time as far as box office goes. And let's see. Now, this does, this does scare me because I could see this movie having a big budget. Could see it have a big budget. So, let's see, Paramount produced it for 60 million and Amazon bought it for $125. No, it's not true, is it? No.

Someone says that at a budget of $170 million? No, that can't. No. Michael Keaton's Beatles, too, return will redeem $170. No, no, no, that's not it. That's not it. That's not true. It doesn't say.

The horror comedy, no, it doesn't say. Beetlejuice budget now. That says 150 million. I can't really get, can you guys get a lock on how much the budget is? I can't really see. But 150 is not, that's not, that's not good. You can't do that. Is that 150?

Anybody doing research out there, tell me what you see. I hope not. I hope that's not the case. That's, that's scary. Don't be 150. Don't be 150. Oh my God. Don't be 150.

I think it's going to be big. It is going to repeat. I think it's going to appeal to a young audience. I'll tell you why. Because not only the Gen. Ortega side of it, that Beetlejuice play really hit 75 million. Is that what the, is that what the, is that what it is. Okay.

Some people are saying 75. It's kind of, it's, it's not really out there. It doesn't seem like. But 75 is, is a perfect budget for this movie. It's in the same way than Alien Romulus. Perfect. Yeah, anything over 100. So, yeah, I think because the play, you look at, I use my daughter as an example.

She, she watched the original movie with me, loved it, then fell in love with the play. And then really wanted to, I went up taking her to see the play where we're still in California. She loved it. And I want to, and she, this is, she can't wait to see it. She can't wait to see this. So I think it's going to hit a younger generation. And yes, you're absolutely right. because of the Geno Ortega side of it too.

Very smart for Tim Burton to bring her along, especially the fact that he directed her and produced her, obviously, in Wednesday. Winona Ryder back at Michael Keaton is the, you know, the magic sauce there, obviously is Beetlejuice. So who doesn't want to see him back? And the beauty of it is that there's sometimes when somebody comes back and you're like,

oh man, I really want to see a 65, 7 year old person doing this thing again. he's been lucky enough to both times, whether it was coming back as Batman and coming back as Beetlejuice. He's in heavy enough. He's in the masking Batman, and it works because he's kind of like old beaten down Batman and Beetlejuice,

which is all full makeup. So, you know, he looks a little weathered, but he's not, he's got makeup on. You can hide, you can hide the age, bring out the youth because he's this, such a youthful personality in general. So I'm pumped for it.

And I'm pumped for it because of what they just said. That was my expectation was, don't make a big studio film. Don't make a big studio film with Beatles, just two of these things are like, okay, we got the, we have to try to just reinvent it now. We got Tim back now.

He needs to do another movie. Tim, do this. Here's our notes. He's like, now I'm doing my movie. I'm going to do a movie that I want to do. Because the trailers have looked that way. Even the, the freaking sand monster looks like something at in 1988.

And I love that. I love that. So yeah, I'm excited for it. I don't agree. I don't think he looks his age. I think that I think the idea of him being in that makeup just kind of puts that to the side, but they teach her own. Anyway, okay, so we're going to get to the questions.

If you have any questions, throw them in there and we'll be out in just a moment. But before I do, I'm going to tell you to wash your rear end and then go play a really cool game. And do it.

Visit skyrizzi.com or call 1-866 Skyrizzi to learn more. Okay, let's get to your questions. Stay here until the last question. Promise. First one. Roman, Fedorak. Hey, Christian. Hey, Roman. Thank you for answering my question other day. I know you are familiar with a lot of HBO shows. Have you ever watched Deadwood? Fan of Western, so it's a new favor of mine. Thanks. You know, I never got into it as much as everybody else. did. I never got into it. Um, and I don't maybe, maybe I might have to revisit it.

Because for some reason, I don't know why. I think that it bothered me in the old West that they were cursing. And not that I had a problem of cursing. I just didn't feel like it was realistic, which why wouldn't they have cursed in the wild west? I think it's because I've been watching Tombstone and all these other movies, you know, is kind of growing up that they weren't throwing out F bombs and it just wasn't used to it. It didn't seem realistic to me. which is, again, if you were like, that's stupid. I'd say you're probably right. But that was, but I never, I know that Ian McShane was phenomenal in it.

All the fan, everybody that was in it, people love it. So I hear great things. So I'm glad that you, you discovered. Joe Hendo TV. Do you feel like it's a mistake, not including Robert Pattinson's Batman in DCU? I can't say a mistake because, so, the answer, no, you know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say no. I don't think it's a mistake. And I'll tell you why. Because it's something that when we talked about this thing where people

were asking about whether or not they were going to do standalone gamut and the standalone blade movie with the success of Deadpool and Wolverine and why it's too confusing because you've got this whole MCU and they've kind of like, you know, pigeonholed himself with the with the MCU where they've got to make their movies that lead to the next event, that lead to the next event, that lead to the next event. because telling this whole big story that eventually goes somewhere else. This is what they've done. They've done it over the course of however many years. The DCU has pretty much come out and said, well, this is what we're doing.

We have that, that thing that these movies are leading to, leading to, but then we have else worlds. We have other things. We got this Joker thing. We got the Penguin series. We got Batman and all that stuff. And they live separately. And so I think it's smart to have that.

Now, if everyone's going to understand that, who knows? We'll see with the success and how that works, but they knew, which was, it was the smart play overall because they knew this. And you never get this kind of clear cut answer out of them. But in the same way that when they first came on the scene, they're like, well, what's going on with Mamoa? What's going on with Galgadoadot and what's going on with so and so and so and so. And the only one they said was Cavill, he's definitely not coming back. They said, Cavill's definitely not coming back. That was definitive.

It was a wide neck cavil. The answer, the question was because, Jane, Gunn knew exactly what he wanted to do with Superman and he didn't want to do a Caval version of it. He knew nobody else was coming back. But he also knew he had movies coming out. He had a ton of of, you know, he had Shazam coming out. He had the Flash coming out, Aquaman, all these movies are coming out. So you can't say, ah, nobody's coming back because people go, what the hell am I seeing this? We'll keep the doors open, no matter what, because the problem they would have had is if he did do a lot of, if the Flash would have made a lot of

money, like a lot of money, like a billion dollars, don't be surprised if Ezra Miller and a few other people would have stuck around. It would have caused a ton of shit. But money talks and they probably would have fought for it, but because it didn't and because it got nailed by fans, easy for them to go, okay, we don't have anybody here. So they have this elseworld stuff. And Pattinson's Batman, they knew that it was popular. They knew people loved it. They're not getting rid of that. You're stupid to get rid of that. that they already had this deal with matt reeves not getting rid of it so they said let's it's mcalfields thing did top phillips going to do a sequel to this thing first one made a billion

dollars they're making else worlds it's fine else worlds we don't need to tie it together so no don't think it was a mistake at all um jo hendo tv who just asked me that question i just answered nlfc 96 i've been watching your for your house the dragon review i know you love the season finale but love your complete complete thoughts about it i loved it well so i don't think i'm going to get to it Because I just at this point, I don't think anybody's, you know, looking for those. And I need to put stuff on here that's going to, that people are going to watch, you know. But what I will say is this. I'll give you my overall thoughts on it.

You know what I should do? You know what it really should do here? I think that because of that and stuff like that, maybe I should just do certain things and do, and have patrons kind of vote on it, right? Or maybe even, I don't even, maybe, or you guys tell me, should I do this thing? I'm going to go to the live chat here. should I do something because like I'm not going to do like when it comes to certainly like house of the dragon normally what if I had if I didn't miss it I would have done it right away

done my amini reaction done that stuff but this is an outside question I want to get from the the people in the in the chat here because there's always extra stuff that you can put on Patreon right like let's say there's something you guys like oh you know what I'd really like you to see you review the goonies I've been seeing you do the goonies I'd love to see a review the goonies well I'm not going to do a review of the goonies and put it up on the channel right now because it's not 2011 with me and mark sitting there to where i know that that would that would do well it's it's it's just not people aren't searching for goonies review the the the algorithm and favorite but it doesn't take away from the fact that if there's enough people who said yeah yeah i want to see

that i want to see you do have a review on that i've never you know what you never saw this movie we're waiting for your thoughts on it now does it play to either do a patreon thing or should i do a channel membership's thing. So I do a channel memberships for for this channel to where I do just special reviews that people request. I'm curious. What do you guys think about that? I don't know if um something smells good in here. What the fuck is that? I don't know what that is. I bring something. Smells good. Chicken? Something something good in here. I'm just hungry. I think that's what it is. Anyway, so I would say one of those two. Um, well, yeah, but it seems someone's to do them live like this. If it comes to Game of Thrones and those types of things, sure. But when it comes to certain

things, like certain reviews, I don't think it's a waste when it comes to, you know, people want to see those things. And people want, I mean, the channel memberships, maybe I just started a channel membership on the down-to-earth channel, which is the UAP stuff. So we've been, we've been talking about it. We've been talking about it. We'll see. Um, okay, let's get to the next one. So for 12 questions in here thus far. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thank you. What's the next one? This is from Joe Hendo again. Thank you, Joe Hando. Man of Steel is definitely my favorite Superman film. Interesting. Yeah, I liked it. I liked it a lot. It's not my favorite Superman film, but it's still my favorite. But it's a really good movie. I really like it a lot.

Joe Hendo, would you like to see the Shoemaker cut of Batman forever? It only costs one million to finish. Yeah, I'd love to, but the problem is Joel Schumerich is not with us anymore. You know, it's like, who's going to, who's going to, who's going to? going to edit it was going to put it together who's going to who knows how he would have actually put it together because he's not he's just not with us anymore but i would have loved to see that and seen how to actually i would look like a serious version of that movie because they had that was such a product of the 95 such a product of 1995 that movie was Jim carrier this heights uh yeah that's such a it does that movie does bring back memories for me i remember seeing that as a kid and like just like yeah it brings back memories and i remember we watched her recently we did our

rewatch stuff um king's port cow what's up cow what's going on with the capes and cows comics well the great wicked art who posts the he speaking of patreon he post each issue that he does of the comic he posted on patreon um what we're going to do is once the entire thing is done he's going to finish the whole i told him not to i don't want him to the guy is so damn talented that he he was getting I don't want him to get stressed out where like he figured he got to finish it by the end of the month. Like, no, no, no, no, just finish it when you, when you finish it. But whenever he does, he's going to send me like the big book of all of the stories. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring in everybody through, you know, virtual whatnot.

And we're going to record the lines and we're going to show the audio over the actual pictures and put music behind it and all that. We're going to do like a big capes and cows probably be like a two hour episode. and we'll do that and then people will be able to get the issues. But it's really, really good. He's a, he's a, besides being a really talented guy, he's probably one of my favorite people that I've gotten to talk to on, on that one-on-one session. She's a really solid, solid dude.

So I'm glad that you're looking forward to it because it's awesome. Pete Parker, 2288. Cameron said in an old Stern interview that he made no money from Titanic. What? I'm not sure that I believe him. You went over budget, apparently. I don't know I believe that either. How the hell did you not make...

I mean, you fire your lawyer, you fire your agent. That's the case. How does you make no money on that? Yeah, I don't believe that either. Pete Parker, can I get Dreyfus talking to George R. Martin? It's the same thing. Hey, hey, you see when I said it that, I think? I'd rather you're not because you want to smell my finger.

You decide who said it. Matt Sinister McHale. I told my 10,000 subs are the greatest YouTuber ever. Thank you, Matt Senator. I appreciate that. You're the best. Jim 1, favorite Bond movie. I love the Roger Moore run.

I'll tell you, I like, what's, what's the one with the Javier Bardem one with Daniel Craig? Probably, is that Skyfall? Is that the one? I think so. Pretty damn good. Pretty damn good. Jacob Fleck, did you hear that the Landau Project is apparently canceled? No surprise there, but I was excited for that.

Bummer. Yeah, so that one was, so what happened with that is I was, I saw that and I wrote well yeah we knew that was going to happen and someone well that's not actually what happened what actually happen will they're going to do a movie that's what's going to happen

it's like no they're not not going to do a movie they're not going to do a TV show they're not it would it it stalled a thousand times over they're not and if it happens when

they didn't even announce um they didn't even announce when the damn thing doing any of these movies they had one of it happens movie that they talked about. Mandalorian and Grogu.

That's it. And rightfully so, they don't know what the hell's going on with the Daisy Ridley movie. They know they have it locked in for $12 million, whether or not the director winds up doing it or not. Who knows? If Flonnie's movie is dependent on everything that happens in the Soca season two, who knows what's going on in the Mangold movie?

Who knows what's going on with the Sean Levy movie? And the Tyca movie will never see the light of day. the Ryan Johnson movie will never see the light of day. The Patty Jenkins movie will never see the light of day. The Landau movie will never see the light of day. It's not me, you know, just saying, oh, man, how can you be so skeptical? Because it's the same shit that keeps happening. It's like, you know, I can tell you that eventually I will get another text about my dog because it just happens.

So it's going to happen. But yeah, it's just not shocking anymore. It's also why it's like, I just, it's just, it's just not shocking anymore. It's also why it's like, I just, it is one of those things where you just, how you just, it's kind of baffling to where you look at the Marvel, you got to give, like, I don't, even if you're a Marvel, if you don't like Marvel, right? And I think everybody has had been like, down the ups and downs, but even you didn't like them. Unless, you know, there are some people who are just haters who are just going to say, no, you could do them, you could have everything in front of you and say, no, no, no, no, no, they didn't do this, right. What they did with both Captain America, and Daredevil, right? The new Captain America and Daredevil. Like that's, that is a smart. They're trying to get around the quality,

the quality lack of what they've had recently, and they're moving or they're, oh, wait a minute. What we've been doing has not been working. The audience is saying what they want to see and how they want to see it. There's been so many different people calling it, why are we changing the Netflix thing?

Instead of our putting our boots and, you know, are digging our heels into the ground here. Let's listen. And let's bring them, let's just bring back that show as popular. We have it. We have the property. We have the actors.

They want to do it. And let's do the tone. And they did it. And they reshot everything that they were going to do. And they did it. They are going to take a loss on this Captain America movie. They're going to spend close to $420 million total on making two movies, basically. And why?

Because they want a quality movie. They reshot the whole damn thing. They said, it is not working. We can't put this out. And they said because if they put the quality out, they get to a place to the next movie where that starts to help because they'll have

two hits back to back if this one delivers. So it's a risky tape. Makes sense. But then you go to the other side, you go to Lucasfilm and it's like they're not, they don't think anything's wrong. You know, it's like they can't, you can't just blame the,

there's, there certainly is a portion of fan base that is just hateful and doing it for clicks. There's, there's no doubt about it. But you also can't ignore that there are people who are not, who just aren't in, so my friend who I bring up all the time on this show, my friend John Pinta, who is just a, he's just an average film pen. I took him to see Romulus.

He doesn't even know what the hell's going on. And he, and he, I don't know how Rogue One came up. And we started with him of Rogue One and then we talked about and, or no, he talked, no, you know what he was talking about Dune. That's what happened. He brought up Dune.

and how good Dune and Dune 2 were. And then he said, this was probably the best science fiction movies in a bit. And then we started talking about Andor. And he's like, oh, and Or I really loved. He's like,

I haven't liked a lot of the Star Wars shows. How come? They're not well written. That's how come. He's like, was the Akelyde any good? I heard it was terrible is what he said. And he's not going on hate sites.

He's just talking to people that are watching it. And he's like, he just heard it was terrible. He's like, I looked a little bit and just looks bad. And so the writing sucks. And so it's like, like, you know, it, but they're not, they're not, how they're not listening and they're only

blaming on a wall because of people who are misogynistic and racist and those things. And like I said, those people certainly exist. But it's not, that's not what's happening in the overall grand scheme of things. They're not, they're not making good stuff. Now, I do think that Man and Lorian and Grogu has an opportunity as I hate the title. I understand the title. Marketing wise, I understand the title. You know, because they, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, sitting there in whatever movie it is and the Mandalorian and Grogo how old Grogu yay Grogu smart newscasters when they say baby Yoda baby Yoda smart you get the word out I get it I just hate the title but that movie to me has the opportunity to essentially do what Deadpool and Wolverine did

right in that reigniting the fan base oh my god it actually feels like Star Wars it feels like that feel and that energy and that thing, it feels like it. It's got the opportunity to do that, like the same way that Mandalorian season one season two did. But the question is, in the same way that we ask about Captain America, can it follow up? Can the next movie follow up? What is the next movie? And that's where I think that they're panicking.

I don't think that they understand what to put out next. That's why they haven't had an announcement about it. Like, yeah, and I think that comes from, from Iger also. What do we put out there next? We can't get the Goodwill back and then just lose it again. Because getting the Goodwill back was tough. And they did it after Mandalorian season one and two. They had the Last Jedi, which was a grenade with the whole damn franchise,

regardless how you feel about it. It was a grenade throughout the whole thing, split the whole fan base in two pieces. And then Rise of Skywalker was just a cotton candy fluff piece that a lot of most people just didn't like. I still, I'll take that all day long. over Last Jedi personally. But that's because it's, it's fluffy, it's fluffy cotton candy. It's got no substance to it,

but it's fluffy cotton candy. I can do that the entire new trilogy. But when Mandalorian 1 and 2 came back, where those, well, came in, those two seasons of 1 and 2 got everybody going, oh, wait a minute now. Okay.

And it seemed like, oh, wait, they can do it. And then they started doing this shit again. And I think it's just too many, I think that my personal opinion is what happened is that there wasn't a lot of involvement from anybody except Flonion Favro for those two seasons. And then once they became a real big hit, then other people started getting involved. That's my, that's my opinion on it. But we'll see. Anyway, um, moving down.

I think there's a few others. Maybe not. No, this is the last one. No, there's, no, there's three left. There's three left. Okay. Jim one, I enjoyed House of the Dragon, but I felt we were robbed of a big finale. it would be like if season two of the Game of Thrones ended just before the battle Blackwater.

So I understand the argument. I really do. And I think that it's not fair for me to say that, well, I enjoyed it. I don't know what you're talking about. I went into it knowing what you just said. And that's that it was, it just kind of lacks this thing. And I,

and I think it was a benefit that I missed the finale. Because I do think I probably have been like, that's it. Oh, man. It's a lead up. It's a great lead up to season three. but I think because I was prepared for it. And I do feel like it's one of these things, though,

that it's going to play like a massive movie that when you watch this again, you know, whenever this thing wraps after season four, and you watch all four seasons, I think it's going to play wonderfully. It's just the problem is you've got to wait two years for the conclusion of,

well, the conclusion of this season really, because they already said it. Season three is going to be a full-on battle. The whole season's going to be a, full battle. So I think you'll forgive it in the long run, but it's the fact that you're watching it now and you want that satisfaction of all this buildup that got you there. You want to see it now. I think you're going to get it, but you just have to wait two years and that sucks. So I understand

it. I completely understand that. I just, I didn't mind it. And I because I finally finished it. I really like the episode of life. I thought it was just very well written, very well written. Armada, 499. Thank you, Armada. Hope if Romulus is successful. at the box office, Bloomcamp's alien movie happens, but I don't know. That concept seems dope. I don't remember what the concept was. I do, and I don't want to spoil it. I wasn't sure, and I don't know if they, because I didn't watch any trailers for Alien Romulus, by the way. There was one movie. I was able to stay away from the trailers and react to any of them and do anything. So I knew nothing about it. I don't know if the trail in, in the trailer, if they reveal where this lands in the timeline,

I'm not going to tell you, but if they do, great, but they do in the movie. So you'll know in the movie where it relates as far as the story goes. Okay. Roman, I think Roman started us off. Might end us off. I don't know. We'll see. Roman, you've said that Chenori might leave the Ray film.

You think that Chennai will leave Lucasfilm before Mangled. Would Lucasfilm drop him after Ninth? There's no way that they're going to drop Mangled. there's no way because mangold was he mangled was not the reason that movie didn't work again a lot of cooks in the kitchen for that one inflated budget that was a lot because of

COVID and other things too there were I think he was told hey listen we want to go in this direction do this do this do this I think that that's exactly what happened you don't look at his resume is extensive resume and the things he did whether it was Logan, Ford versus Ferrari, all these different things.

You don't look at those and say, oh, yeah, that was a one. It wondered. We caught the bunk. No, it's mangled. You don't get rid of mangled at all, at all. You give him a shot to do what he's going to do, especially in that time period. But the reason why he could leave, if either one of them leaves first, it's got to be Chenoy, only because the movie's potentially coming out soon,

So if if she doesn't, then obviously it's going to be mangled or nobody. Because that movie, I just don't know the Ray one. I think that I just wonder, I'm so curious like when they do interview, certain interviews, like that interview she did on CNN or whatever was, it just, it's like there are certain talking points that I think that that every director, no matter who you are, whether you're mangled, anybody, you got to have talking points when you're in. in a position right now when you're trying to get back your brand, you got to have talking points. I think every person, whether it's a Kevin Feige to a Kathleen Kennedy, you've got to have talking

points. And there's certain times, and I know that it's not a popular opinion. I've said it before and people have pushed back on it. But in the executive side of things, when you're looking at it, when you're making a movie and you're making a movie for $40 million, $50 million. And you want to aim that movie at a particular side or a particular political views, political thing, and you know you're going to alienate another side, $50 million is like, okay, as long as those people who were aiming at, spend the money to go see it, then take the rest, do what you got to do. If you're making a movie like Star Wars where you need to make $500, $600,000, $700,000,

you want everybody to be on board. Even if you like, even if you don't like your fan base, you got to have everybody on board. If you want to make the kind of money you want, it's like it's not it's it sucks, but, but you have to. You have to say, well, if we or don't spend the money you want to spend. Like I said, make, make, make a $30 million movie or $40 million movie and say, I don't care. We're going to make a small Star Wars movie. We're going to aim it.

We're going to, we're going to do this. We're going to do that. We're going to say, and I'm not saying that the movie itself is going to be like that. I just, the particular comments that I thought that generally was making was alienating people. Because also it wasn't factual. Kathleen Kennedy was actually one of the first. woman to ever be part and run a Star Wars movie. She didn't say direct.

She didn't say, she's not, she didn't say I'm the first female to ever direct a feature film. Because even directing wouldn't be accurate, whether it was Deborah Chow, whether it was, you know, Bryce Dallas Howard. So it was just in,

in the, it just wasn't same thing. Like, I was all for the idea of saying, look, I'm, I'm proud to be the first woman who's going to be directing a feature film, Star Wars.

Nothing wrong with saying that. If people get mad with you saying that, F, It's a proud badge to wear, but it just came off wrong. So I don't know, and I don't know if you're Bob Arger, if you're going, or maybe she's putting together a hell of a project, and you say, you know what? That absolutely kicked ass. So, who knows?

Bam, 86th, great interview with David Castaneda. I enjoyed the last season of umbrella, though I thought it got a lot of hate. Did it? See, I haven't been, so I binged one through three. I binged one through three. and I haven't watched four yet. Is four not that good? What's,

what's wrong with four? Tell me. I want to know. Okay. So, Ryan, did you work on that one? I don't want to,

I don't want to, well, I will tell you this. So Agatha all along. I'm, I'm actually really, really, I'm a big fan of Catherine Hahn.

I think Catherine Hahn is an incredible talent. I really do. And I think that this, I think what Marvel, will be smart to do with this show because this show is greenlit during the time when they were green lighting everything and hey that was a popular show and she was really good give her her own shows that person gets your show everybody gets your show i think that what they are doing smart is they putting it around the Halloween season where it will play like where it will by night and let it

live there and then that's it let it be a miniseries and and and if it's good great and it's a complete Hollywood or Halloween thing that people can check out. I don't know how it ties into the greater MCU. I have no idea. Maybe that'll be explained in the series itself. But the marketing side, I mean, it's, it's brought awareness to people. I've just never been excited for the show.

So it's, do I think that it's a good, they've been marketing well? Yeah, I think they've been marketing very well. So I think people are aware of the show. Yes, I do.

And I think that it looks like it's, it's a very good, it's put together very well. It looks high quality. It looks like it's going to be fun. I just don't necessarily know if it's if it's going to be, you know, my cup of tea, but we'll find out after episode one. We'll see.

Ryan actually follows that up. I hope New York has been treating you well. Thank you, Ryan. It has. I love it, actually. It's really nice, actually. And yesterday, the weather was nice yesterday. I was really digging it.

I like, I like, I really like going into the city. You know, it's so funny is that I would have to drive when I would go to Burbush, bank for screenings. The Burbank screenings were like, you know, with traffic, it could take anywhere between an hour and an hour, 15 minutes. And it was miserable. It was miserable just sitting in that traffic, just bumper to bumper awful. Um, when I go to a screening in the city, takes me about 45 minutes on the train. It's about so peaceful. I'm just on the train. I'm just on the train. I'm checking my emails. I'm doing work. But on the way back from the screening last night, I was uploading stuff. I was responding to comments. I was doing it. And it just

went like it was so much less stress going. I mean, the one thing. There was a century city was right by where I used to live in California. And I would, it would take three minutes. That was great. But even then going to that parking lot and everything too, I, I enjoy, I, this, I, I, I feel like I made the right move. I saw some. There was, oh, there was a turd on wheels last week. Holy shit. I forgot about that guy. I got rid of him. Um, this guy's, uh, he's lying about why he moved to New York. Why? It's not cheaper. I left L.A. Ryan. It was like $6.50 for gas. It was crazy. It was like, crazy. 650 for gas. And it was like, it's like $3.25 here. And I said, I don't live in the city. Uh, the groceries are cheaper. The, there's tons as to.

the schools are better everything from where I was everything is better so so the guy's like why don't you move to another place in L.A. then well because of the many schools in the place that what you get dickhead um Jim one best movie fight memory you keep up with Spencer Spencer from from movie fights um I yeah Spencer Spencer and I was got along I wasn't necessarily really close with Spencer but every time I went in to movie fights or anything. Oh, he's got along with Spencer. He's always a very funny guy, nice guy.

But we weren't like buddies or anything. We just say kind of quinky coincidences. Coincidences? Sure. Sure. That's what we were coincidences. Acquaintances. My brain is broken.

It's broken. We were coincidences. The two of us. But, um, best move. Oh, movie fights memory. Well, there you go. Battling Mark. and I have to say it, probably night falls.

I had to do, I had to do, I had to do, I had to make up a movie on the spot and work. So, um, yeah. Okay. Bam 86. For me, season four of the umbrella's humor really landed.

I could tell you were worried about that when David mentioned the comedy, but it had me laughing a lot. Um, yeah, I mean, look, the, I, I will say this,

because I didn't really give a review of it because I, I do, I will tell you it. It wasn't just because I was interviewing it. My favorites on the show. I mean, definitely, I think that Klaus, five's my favorite. Five is my favorite.

Klaus and Diego, those are my three favorites. I thought Luther got worse as the seasons went on. I thought they just really goofed them up. He really got goofier and goofier every season. I don't mind the humor in that show because they established what that humor is and that humor works for me and I like the way that they play in humor. But he was just such a gosh darn goofball. I don't know if he gets goofier and four.

or whatever, but I just didn't, I didn't, I liked him less and less. But Diego, I really liked a lot, five and Klaus, those are my three favorites. Um, okay. Johnny Venner, when will we see Darth Plagueis again? Who knows, man. I, I'm like, what I hope that they do and I don't, and look, if they could do it, if they could do it, you know, you would hope that they say in the board meeting, hey, listen, Didn't go the way we wanted it to.

But people kind of responded to plague. So we got these books back here, right? There's these books that we have, this James Lucino book, and people really like the indoor. It kind of has that feel. If we got a really good director and a DP and some really like Emmy award-winning writers and adapt this book, we could do like a six-episode killer series on this thing and blow

people's minds. Bring Plague is back. He's been introduced now. Show the rise of young Palpatine. Show those politics, but show what's going on with the Sith. Show that side of the Jedi of what's happening and the infiltration of how he have found his way. We can ignore the twins thing. What happened to the twins? They blew up. So that's what I would hope. There's no world that that happens. But I don't think anybody's going to care. If they're the twins, they moved. Where? Who cares? they're gone. And we brought back Daphne Keene, though, from the dead.

It's either that or the twins. Bring her back. She's a zombie. That's fine. Okay. Let's see. Anything else? No, I think that's it.

So, is there anything else you guys want to talk about? If not, I want to say thank you to all you. Thanks for being here today. Really appreciate it. And, yeah. That's it.
