Ryan Gosling, is going to be in Star Wars? Sean Levy's movie? Is that a good move for Gosling? Is that a good move for Star Wars?

Does anybody care? I'll talk about that. I think I know something people are going to care about. Netflix jacking up their prices. Well, I say that. I think people are going to care. We're not going to care. Still going to pay for Netflix.

Speaking of Netflix, Greta Gerwig, there's been a back and forth about getting that Narnia movie out in theaters. They're going to do an IMAX part of it. What does the Netflix brass think about that move? There's some comments made there. We also have some more stuff to discuss when it comes to, I just found this out just now. I didn't even send this to my wonderful guest today just because it just broke.

House of the Dragon might actually be filming already right now. That's one of the many stories we'll be discussing today and excited to. to talk to Clark Wolf. That's right. Clark is on the channel here today. It's just myself and Clark. It is the Christian Harlov Show. Thanks for being here. Let's get into it, guys.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to this show. It's a Christian Harlov show. And it was a couple months ago. I was blessed by the presence of my good friend Clark Wolf in studio. Since then, she's been on the show again with Sam Levine. She's working on a lot of different things. And I got a great message from her. her not so long ago she said you know what i'm gonna do it bringing my youtube channel back and we are

here to talk about that and a great many things great clark wolf hi clark hi clark hi christian how are you good how you doing i'm good i will tell your audience a little inside tidbit that i actually use the words i'm going to take your advice oh that that probably made you feel real good huh yeah i mean it's look you and i have always had that kind of relationship i have taken And your advice many times, you've taken my advice. We've just, we've had that kind of relationship over the year. So it was like, yeah, and it was nice to have you back here to talk about this type of stuff. But I, yes, I was very, I was more so happy that you were just doing it again because we had that discussion of like, I mean, right before we don't want in the air.

It's like YouTube's different now than when we were doing it back in the day. And I told you that because Greg Alba really, when I was at Skybound and I was going back into getting into this on my own channel, I went into the mind. mindset of like oh it just worked like it did with schmose and i can figure that out and it wasn't working like that because i remember putting out a review for that movie uh free guy and i'm like oh people just like to see me do reviews this movie's been out for two months but they'll watch it like mark and i was it nobody watch it nobody cared algorithm didn't find it nobody cared so i talked to greg alba for a bet and he really gave me a good breakdown on how it works today and i've implemented that on this channel on a few other channels that i'm working on and um yeah it's been it's been fun so i'm

So I'm glad you're getting back in the game. Thank you. It's been fun too. I, you know, I'm really lucky that I have a really wonderful community. You know, I feel like the folks that come and participate in my channel are really awesome. And we, you know, because, yes, like I got my start, obviously on YouTube and that's where we met and all of that. But, you know, for the last couple of years, I was doing a lot on Twitch. And so that live stream element of having chat, like be your co-host essentially is something that I've

kind of carried over to my channel. So again, it's a little different than I think your standard YouTube thing, but I think there's a way to make them all kind of come together. And so we have a wonderful, again, we have a wonderful community and it's really, it's lovely. And so we stream twice, I stream twice a week now on Mondays and Thursdays. So what time, what time normally? We do 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific. So we're in the afternoon later in the day. But yeah, people can check it out YouTube.com slash official Clark. And yeah, it's fun. Easy. And so you'll be doing the live stream. Are you planning on doing anything else in the channel yet? Or you're just still kind of figuring it out.

Yeah. So basically right now, the plan is, you know, just to get things kind of up and running because I am my own, I'm my own team right now. I would love to have a producer one day. But for now, it's just me. So we've been doing a lot of news and live streams. But on Monday, starting in February, it's our interview show. So I'll have a guest with me. and I've got some really fun industry folks. That's the other thing is like I'm more, you know, I know some people might assume that I would be like a horror-only stream.

And yes, we do talk a lot about genre, but I'm sort of trying to broaden my horizons because I'm interested in general pop culture. So I think my industry experience, like we've talked about over the last couple of times, I've been on your show, is something that I'm trying to bring in to my stream. So writers, directors, like people like that,

hopefully will be, will be the guests and it's fun. That's great. I put the link in the description. So I would hope that everybody, if you're watching this right now live, you go and you just click in the description, subscribe to Clark's channel today.

And if you're watching on the replay, you can do the same thing because the link is in the description. So please go and check that out. And I'm so glad that she's back in the space. So it was funny because my, Luke, who helps produce the show, he is a big fan of yours, right?

And he was saying, he's like, I'm so glad she's doing her channel. He's like, I subscribe today. So you subscribe today. Thanks, Luke. So there you go. People are subscribing right now, I see. We do have some stories to discuss.

We got some things. The big story yesterday, Clark, was this news of Ryan Gosling in talks for a Star Wars film. And so Dark Horizons reporting on this. This is three-time Oscar nominee, Ryan Gosling, looks to be joining the Star Wars universe for the first time. The Barbie and Blade Runner 2049 actors reportedly in negotiations for the lead role. in uh wait is reportedly negotiations for the lead role okay never mind it's like deadpool wolver he came out already uh and free guy filmmaker sean levy star wars feature project levy has been developing the film project since 2022 with the help of writer jonathan tropper

the pair have reportedly been working on the script for over a year levy is also producing the feature via hits uh excuse me his 21 laps banner which also produces netflix smash hit series stranger things 21 laps will work in collaboration with Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm. No details regarding the Star Wars time period in which Levy and Gosling project is set. Works in the franchise often jump between various time periods between the trio of trilogies. Many of them in recent times set several years after the turn of the Jedi events. One thing that is confirmed story-wise is that it is meant to be a standalone film, one not connected to the Skywalker saga. That doesn't preclude cameo appearances from all known

characters, but they won't be the focus. Gossling being in Star Wars is said to be a pretty recent turn of events. Levy was lining up by Boy Band movie at Paramount Reuniting Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, but Gossling's interest in this suddenly has shifted this forward. No shit. As a result, this will likely be Levy's next film and the next Star Wars movie to be produced. Shooting could be as early as this fall. It's coming from the Hollywood Reporter.

Okay. Wow. Yeah. So this is big news in general, right? And I also think that because there was, I remember Levy was talking to Josh Horowitz about the Star Wars project and Josh kind of said would Ryan be in it? I still think Ryan Reynolds will pop up in the movie. I'm glad he's not the star of it because we get another team up between the two of them. I know he can do serious acting. I've seen Safehouse and other things too that he's done.

I know he can, but there's just something he's associated with that comedic tone. Ryan Gosling is the same thing, fall guy, other movies, but he can definitely, whether you look at Drive or he's a great actor, I think this is a smart move. I will tell you, though, I think they should play off of what they're going to do with James Mangold, because I don't know how familiar you are with what Mangold's doing. Give me a review. He's going 25,000 years in the past.

So you're not attached to any Skywalker. You're attached to nothing. You can make up your own lore for that period of time. I think they should go there, and I think they should stay there. And I think any spinoff movies should be in the general vicinity, whether it's 20,000 years instead the 25,000 and put Gosling, because Gosling's going to wind up playing like a Han Solo type character, you would assume. But I don't know, you hear this news, Clark, what do you think? Is it a good move for Star Wars? Is it a good move for Gosling?

Yeah, you know, I was thinking about Ryan Gosling actually this weekend when I saw Wolfman. Of course, he was originally supposed to be the lead in that. And then, you know, different director and Lee was on the project and then he wasn't and now he's back. And I was thinking about how Ryan Gosling really doesn't have a franchise. You know, I was thinking about, and there of all. obviously been attempts at a franchise, right? So you have, you have stuff like, you've Blade Runner, of course, joining the franchise, but that didn't necessarily yield a second Blade Runner movie. And you have Fall Guy. I think Fall Guy was supposed to be a, obviously, they thought

it was going to be a bigger movie. And so it does make sense to me that Brian Gosling is going, okay, it's time for a franchise and Star Wars seems to be, seems to make sense. Yeah, it's like he, it's Star Wars, right? And that's, and that, we're at a place now and we've talked about it. Shoot, you and I probably talked about this, whether it was on movie talk or Schmo's back in the day, because it was starting even back then. We're long past the days of the movie star selling tickets, right? The movie star can gain interest in a film, but it doesn't sell tickets in the way that,

oh, it's a new Tom Cruise movie. It's a new Will Smith movie. That doesn't really happen anymore. But IPs usually sell the movie and directors, a few different directors like Nolan and other people could sell movies. But this is something, however, that it's Star Wars. Well, who's in it? Ryan Gosling. Oh, really? You're getting that type of, then that's why that makes sense that, okay, Gosling is interested and he's interested. Okay, well, why don't we make that the next movie? Now, I don't necessarily know if that's the best plan because do they even know what the movie is?

It's like, it's another one of these Lucas, because I've said, I think, that the entire film and TV division of Lucasfilm right now needs to be gutted. I think they need a whole new regime in there. But, you know, maybe this is part of it, so they're starting to do some new things and putting together a team. But do you have any stake in the game as far as like where they should put this or you just want to see a good movie? Yeah, you know, I think that I think they should really, I think they have an opportunity, especially with the feature side, because to wipe the slate clean a little bit, it's been a while for a sense of feature Star Wars movie was in theaters. And so whatever they launch next, I think should be.

they should consider a template for what is to come to sort of reset the audience expectations. And, you know, I think that it would be fun to have Star Wars back on the big screen in a way, though, that feels like people are excited, meaning the creators have a story they're excited to tell, not a mandate from the higher ups and someone has to then retrofit or work backwards. And I do agree as well. like, you know, we did a, on my first stream back, we did sort of an audience Q&A. And one of the questions was, what can Star Wars do? And, and I, the two things, you know, to get audiences excited again. And the two things I said were take a little break. Like, let us miss you.

And the other thing was we got it, we got to get some new blood in there. We got to get just, it's it they need, they need a new creative vision. That feels a little less cynical, a little less old fashioned. Yes. It's so old fashioned right now. in that you look at like what DC is doing, right? And you look at the plan that they put together. And it's clearly someone who is a filmmaker knows how to do it, but there's also a comic book fan through and through.

And I think Star Wars needs that. And this is like, like, you know, you can beat it to death of the saying like, oh, but I tell you, but Kathleen Kennedy's a good producer. We know that we've said it. It's not working. It's like any like sports team or anything else too. The coach isn't working right now.

She's not working. And so, but it also means that the assistant coaches and everybody else, see you later. regime bring them in but the thing that will change that though Clark is that if this is the regime that put this movie together so if mandolorean and grogou hits it's basically the same story of you're familiar with what happened with moana too yes i am so mona two as everybody knows then what is was a tv show bob eiger comes in and he says no dummies we're not putting this on streaming we make no money put it into the theater makes a billion dollars right he did the same thing

with Mandalorian and Groger. It was supposed to be season four of the show and he said, no, turn it into a movie and that's what we're getting. We're getting a movie. That comes out, I think it'll do very well. Whether or not people love it and get on board and as your audience was asking you, does it get the audience back?

I don't know, but they didn't know where they were going with their next movie. People thought it was going to be the Ray movie, but that never really found its footing. So this makes sense. A Ryan Gosling, Star Wars movie? You probably won't, you probably won't see this until 2027. Yeah, yeah. I was surprised actually to hear that they think they can start

shooting as soon as the fall, especially because these movies really tend to take time to come together, although the article does say that, you know, Sean has been working on this, the script for, for a while. So I think that makes sense. If I may just also interject, something I learned from this article was about this boy band movie. Oh, yeah. Which I was like, I truly, I was like, Okay, yeah, we'll talk about Ryan Gosling and Star Wars, but tell me more about the boy band movie. Because that sounds wonderful. With Hugh Jackman and Reynolds, which is like, what, so what are they? What are they like the managers?

They're old. No, it's that they're old and they're going to tour. It's probably like the backstreet boys are how like people from my generation are like, maybe insane cool tour again. Come on, Justin. They're going to have to like, I mean, that's, that's what it has to be is that they're aged out boy band stars, which I'm like, Oh gosh, how wonderful that would be. I mean, it's funny.

My first thought was that they were like dueling managers, but knowing that they both loved to sing and dance and do all this. And Hugh Jackman was like sang and dance at the Broadway and the Oscars. That makes a lot of sense. And it does sound like something I'd want to say. You know what movie I think is underrated was, what was that movie? Was it called Pop Star?

The one with Andy Sandberg? Yes. You know, it's funny you say that. I remember at that junket. I remember being like, holy cow, this movie is so good. It was funny. But it was right at that point where we weren't quite, the straight to streaming thing hadn't quite been.

And so Universal does a wide release and it tanks. And I remember saying if that had been a Netflix original movie at that time, it would have been the biggest movie of the summer. I agree with you. I agree with you. That would have been a, that would have, I remember watching that movie, I think expecting the worst and laughing. I can't remember if McCougou was with me seeing it. Somebody was who absolutely loved it with me. But I thought it was great. I remember that one. But anyway, to see

that Hugh Jackman Reynolds do that would be interesting. But it also makes sense though. And Reynolds was probably like, Gossling wants to do Star Wars? Put this on hold. Go do it. Go do your Star Wars movie now. It makes sense. Why wouldn't he? Plus, I think that, you know, Guy Ryan Reynolds has a lot of stuff. He's busy. He's busy. Legally stuff. I don't. I mean, real quick, what do you make of all of that? Listen, man, we've talked about it on my stream a little bit too. And what I make of it is with a nice pool. Let's do the nice pool of things specifically.

I respectfully have no idea who Justin Baldoni was. So the notion that his lawyer is saying, well, this is clearly my client. he also pretends to be a feminist and is outspoken about that. This is clearly my client. Don't you see the man done? My client is known for wearing a man. I was like, first of all, I think you tellin on yourself a little bit. And second of all, nobody would have put two and two together.

It felt like the baby reindeer lady who kind of the Martha, who like sued Netflix for $200 million and was like, this is clearly me. And I was like, man. It's hard to prove. It's hard. But also, I'm like, why are you telling you? on your and it's for defamation that's the thing that's so funny is you're picking on me this this asshole is clearly me and i'm like i wouldn't have done that put it together that's true and it's if you can use it that way and you can think you have enough of a case that you can get some money out

of it then it's like look we're going to expose this to do it if we really do think that it is um you because i mean when you line up all of the things that he does did and when they shot it right It makes sense. It makes sense. But the thing is, it's very hard to prove. Exactly. That's very hard to prove. But there's just other things.

There's other things. And again, other things that are hard to prove, right? There is footage that they released that of them dancing. Did you see this? It was that he was trying to kiss her and she. No. What was the thing? What happened?

The way that I saw, this scene that I saw, they were in the scene and they were, you know, they play a couple. so they were like sure basically and they were flirty and doing the things and and he he said something to her about I don't know they've seemed very friendly in this in the scene and then once he calls cut I to what I saw in this clip he loses the character you let's go over and then and then that's it um but there's two sides to that story too because people because people I saw it from what I saw in the comments were like it looks like very professional it looks like he drops the characters like here sure

We don't know the rest of it, right? Like we don't know, let's say, I mean, there's two sides of it. One, this is the way it was the entire set and she is lying about it. That's, that's, that's one. Two, he started acting like an asshole after that day. Yeah. So we don't know. Yeah.

I will say the one thing that it does stand out to me about this is that it is not just Blake Lively who has said that they felt they were a female. It's not just Blake Lively is not the only female actor who has. said, I am uncomfortable with this man. This man makes me feel very bad. Like, you know, like, there were other female actors on set who had similar complaints. On the same set? Correct. That is sort of getting lost in the shuffle.

Right. And so to me, I think that, but, you know, the other take that I was reading, I follow a couple of, like, lawyers who are talking about this. And one thing I've been seeing, I saw this morning is it's very clear that he wants to have this case tried in the public opinion and not in court. And so I was like, well, he's trying to settle. I mean, who knows? But yeah, this thing is wild.

It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. So, like, I don't know. We'll get more facts out of it. Nothing's too. Because even with like your time, like, that's why the reason I asked was it on that set? Because. And I don't know.

The answer is going to be like, no, not at all. Are they friends with Blake lively? Are they not friends with Blake lively? Are they completely different? Whatever it might be. It could be the very separate cases. They've never had a conversation with Blake lively. And this guy was just a complete a hole.

or it was one of those things where he was just as friendly with her and they and she's like didn't it make you feel creepy it did make me feel weird and then they spoke I who knows I think like for instance Jenny Slate has been like I I support what Blake has said sure and and so she was in the movie okay which is which makes Jenny Slate's great um did you I was thinking I thought of first that she was in it but she's not it was just an actress that looks like her but do you watch severance so I watched season one I haven't watched the season two premiere. It's only one episode so far. Yeah. Yeah. I just watched it last night. It's really good. It's really, really good.

I just, yeah, I don't want to spoil anything for you. Okay. But go and check it out because it's like, but I'll tell you, it was so long in between seasons. Truly. I was like, what happened in season one? Yes. They give us to recap, though. I was listening to that podcast.

You must remember this, which is, oh my God, why am I blanking on her name? Anyway, it's a old it's a Hollywood history podcast and they had an ad with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott Karina Longworth is the house. But anyway, they had an ad with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott saying like let's we're doing a rewatch podcast and then we're going to keep it. So they are like very aware. But but yeah, I will tell you I didn't like severance. Yeah. I liked the final episode. Okay. Like to me, it was too slow of a slow burn. I would have appreciated some of that information that was revealed in the finale to have been a little more dispersed throughout the season.

So, you know, but then again, maybe if I watched it again with like different expectations, I might like season one again. It's funny you say that because Roxy kept telling me about that show. And I was like, I'll get to it. I'll get to it. Yeah. I finally did. And I started watching it.

And the first episode is a long. long scene in the beginning, it was just someone in a hallway. Yeah. And I'm going, I'm out. And I bailed, right? Yeah. And then I said, that's stupid. I said, I got to, at least got to give an episode a shot. And I did. And then I just fell in love with it. Like, I loved it. Um, so then, you know, the other one I wanted to mention is I feel like we're going to be in the opposite side here. Okay. You just talked about the Wolfman. Yeah. What did you think? That was not for me. Oh, so we're on the same page.

Yeah. Yeah. In fact, I'll, I'll say that I did a little quick, uh, patronage exclusive review because my, you know, the audience was like, oh, like, give us your reactions. But my chat, my audience also knows that I try, and I've said this actually on your show, I try very hard to not talk badly about movies because I know how hard it is to make a movie. So my review is like three and a half minutes long. Like I don't have much to say here. That's, yeah. Yeah, I did a, I did an out of the theater reaction for it.

And I was like, you know, it was such a. of Lee Winell and I really liked a invisible man so much. I just I thought it was invisible man was so detailed and was like a detailed thriller slash horror and had so much to say you know whether it was domestic violence other things in general the way that it just it was intricate you know really it really was this was just kind of classic old school horror chase and Julia Garner was wasted I I think Julia Garner frankly was miscast I don't think she was right in that part and that if you're especially because it's an expedited

timeline for a chat who hasn't seen the movie i won't give any spoilers but that you have a brief setup and then it mostly all takes place in one night and so the chemistry and the family bond has to be even if the two husband and wife are at odds it has to be something you can hang your hat on right and unfortunately that part was was i just they don't they didn't feel like there was any real love there so um but uh but and also just a down It's a downer. Yeah, yeah, nothing really happens to where you're like, oh, that's exciting. And you know, I like Christopher Abbott as an actor. He didn't do for me either. He was the one thing that kind of kept me. Like I thought he was doing a very good job.

You know what I mean? Like for a movie that I didn't love. But yeah, it wasn't, that wasn't for me. Yeah, that was a bummer. But did you see Nesferrat? Yes, three times I've seen it. So you love it. Well, actually, it's a funny story, if I may, just real fast. Please, please, please. So I was in the one thing that I wanted to get invited to last year was the Nosparatu premiere. And I did. I got invited to the L.A. premiere. And I was so excited.

So I wore a long dress. I did the whole thing. But I didn't bring my glasses. Like, I wear my glasses when I drive and when I watch movies so I can see a little more like, you know, a little more clearly. So I get into them because I didn't have clutch. I had a cute purse. So I was like, I get to the movie. And I'm about 20 minutes in.

And I was like, ah, yes, a vampire movie that is dark. I can't see anything. I'm going to need to see this again. Oh, no. So then I'm like, okay, I go with another group of friends. They haven't seen it yet. They get tickets to a screening in 35 millimeter. I'm like, okay, great.

I got the glasses. We're ready. Christian, it was one of the worst projections I have ever seen in my life with my glasses. Wow. It was worse than the premiere. Then the premiere. So me, Hector Navarro, Abby,

our friend, our friend Aaron, I get them all together and we go see it in IMAX. Oh, perfect. And that's, yeah, that's gonna do it.

And it was the Universal City Walk, I know, that's great. So I was just, that was like, I leaned over to them at the end. And I was like, okay,

that is the definitive way for you all to see this movie. Take it from me. I've seen it in every format you can possibly imagine. Yeah. Yeah, I loved it. I love that movie. Really, really dug it. I like Northman. I like that one. I'm not a big witch fan. I didn't, I've never seen the lighthouse, but I really like what Eggers does. And so this was, and I was pumped about this because in general, you know, the branchedoker's Dracula in general. So when he did it, I was like, okay, let's see what you got. And what he did that was so great is that he made it feel, even though it's a tale that everyone knows. Dracula. It made it feel like his own movie. It's not easy to do. I think for me, because I,

if I may, push up my nerdy glasses. So I grew up. My brother loved the 1922 Mernau kind of version. So Nosferatu was on a lot in my house growing up. So and you know, horror is my thing. I've seen the Mernail version many, many times. And I will say that for me, what was a little frustrating was in the Eggers version is the first hour, we are rocking and rolling. This feels like Robert Eggers. This is his style. He's so historic into the history and all of the Romani mythology and folklore was really wonderful. But then for me, we get to the second hour. And it is almost a straight remake of the 1922 version, like to the movie's detriment. I would argue.

It just, it just, there were certain choices that he made and I, you know, like I kind of was like, but that said, the more I watch it. Yeah.

You're like, you're like, you do your own podcast on that alone. Truly. Like I should do that. You know those podcasts that are like one minute at a time? Yes. Yes. You should really do that on Nospiragia.

But yeah, that final shot, or meaning, Warlock's finale. Yeah. Yeah. Anytime I see it, the nerd in me is just like this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my entire. It's great.

Joining. I got some people DMing me telling me they're signing up to stuff that helps out the show more than you know. Thank you guys. Okay. We got more stuff. Are you a House the Dragon fan? I'm not. Well, it's not that I'm not a fan.

It's just that I didn't start. Okay. So yeah, but I do feel like maybe I should I love House of the Dragon. You love it? I like it more than most. I mean, a lot of people loved season one and season two people felt not that they didn't like season two, but that it clearly was by the powers that be at HBO. They didn't give them enough episodes. They wanted, they scaled it down.

So instead of shooting everything they were supposed to for season two, the end is a little underwhelming. it doesn't get to this big thing that they thought they were going to get to and they're clearly going to get to it in season three and people are bummed about that. I like the lead up to it. I really enjoy the characters. What I like about House of the Dragon

even more so than Game of Thrones, to be honest, is that it's a contained story just about the Targaryens. And it's not like, and I love Game of Thrones, but it's like you can watch an episode of Game of Thrones and it's about this person over there and then it's about this person over that side of town and then that person.

And it's like, it's a lot and it's great, but it's like after a world. while it's hard clearly to keep up with that for six seasons it's hard to it's hard to do it to make it interesting if you're not following books um the characters are really rich and i dig it and i'm i was excited to hear this story which is house the dragon season three they've got the filming set let's see what they say word has finally come through on the status of the third season of HBO's epic fantasy series and Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon. HBO renewed the show for a third season in June 2024, just days before the second season

premiered on the cabler. In August, showrunner Ryan Condal indicated scripts were in development with plans for an early 2025 shoot. Things got confusing in October at New York Comic-Con when series stars Matt Smith, Fabian Frankel, and Tom Glenn Carney revealed essentially nothing about the next season. Now, Bradenian Intellectual. is reporting that the third season shoot of House of the Dragon will run from March to October of this year. Going by past seasons, airing tends to take place nearly a full year after filming wraps. That would suggest we're not going to see a new run until late summer of early fall, 2026. Two years after the second season went to air,

HBO has not officially announced any production or release plans for the series, only confirming previously that a third season is coming and the show will end with its fourth outing. HBO has another Game of Thrones spinoff, the sixth episode, A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, set to debut this year. Now, to me, Clark, this is the difference

for the Game of Thrones and like Severance, right? Because Severance has two years, or maybe two and a half years, whatever from the premiere of one of the first season came out. And then as you and I said, we're a little bit lost. We're like, where is it? Let's go.

Game of Thrones is like, okay, don't worry about it. I know you guys are looking to see this, but watch this Game of Thrones show. And I'm still in Westrose. Okay, fine. And then the House of the Dragon comes back. So I think that's a way to kind of ease it in two years to do a scale of this production.

I'm not hating it. Yeah. I mean, I think that we kind of feel like, please get it right. Please don't. I don't think it serves anybody when the post is rushed or the stories are rushed. Or, you know,

like especially with these types of these big, big magical, you know, fantasy slash, you know, action slash drama shows. And I think that one thing that I know is that a lot of times they will sign up like series. Like they'll sign talent and cast for two seasons at a time, three seasons at a time, or they'll shoot a block and then they'll cut it in half and they'll say season one, season two. So I don't know if the team at New York Comic-Con was sort of playing. playing koi or maybe they just straight up don't know the answer didn't know the answer i don't know

but i do think i agree with you like staying in westeros whether it's the same series and then bouncing around you know with different series but keeping that keeping the audience sort of in that universe i think is a smart idea yeah it's like i still care now you know the magic trick is it's got to be good it's true otherwise then you go oh and i don't care yeah and then you leave westrose forever then you're or you're glad that it's another two years before that thing comes out you know yeah so that comes out this year I'm excited to see what they do because I it's a it's a universe I want to succeed I really do like being there I like the way that they do it it's like a even more I don't want to say an adult version because Lord of the Rings is adult but even more adult version of

Lord of the Rings and I I'm all for it I love I love what they're doing over there so we'll see we'll see when it comes out another fantasy world is Narnian um we don't know if you're following all the news that was going on with yeah right a little bit yeah yeah i think it's a really interesting bigger industry question so i'm glad that we're kind of talking about it all right let's get into exactly what that is and netflix chief talks about the narnia imax release so netflix co uh ceo uh... cio ted sarandos has commented on recent reports that greta gyrwig's the chronicles of narnia has secured an imax theatrical release before its debut on the streaming service in mid 2023 Greta Gerwig closed a deal to direct two films

for the streaming service based on the famed chronicles of Narnia fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis which Netflix has had the screen adaptation rights since 2018. Last year came the reports that Gerwig was growing frustrated with Netflix not budging on its stance on not releasing films in cinema. The odds exception for awards qualifying purposes and was considering walking away from the project. Then the talk changed and rumors sprang up that Gerwig and Netflix were talking about IMAX as a potential Narnia theatrical release, rumors that turned out to be true.

When it was announced last week, Netflix and IMAX had locked down a deal. That deal sees Gerwig's first Narnia film scoring an exclusive theatrical run on around 1,000 screens worldwide on Thanksgiving Day 2026 before the film hits streamers on Christmas Day. Netflix has also guaranteed to play the film

for two weeks so far, but many took it as a sign that Netflix may finally be following on its hard-line stance on theatrical windows and more films will follow. Sarando speaking during yesterday's quarterly earnings called to investors, wants to make it quite clear that Netflix is committed to giving its slate a streaming release first and foremost.

He adds via deadline that it was the sheer scale of Gerwig's Narnia that made an IMAX release a priority. He says our core strategy is to give our members' exclusive first-round movies on Netflix. The Narnia IMAX release is a release tactic. We routinely release movies in theaters a couple of weeks before to qualify for awards to meet festival requirements, and to prime the publicity pump a bit. Way to spin it, Ted.

In the case of Narnia, it's a two-week special event. I think it's very differentiated from other runs because I doubt anyone has a screen as big as an IMAX screen at home. Mostly, I wanted to say I'm incredibly excited to be working with Greta on this movie. This is the real story and the real reason they're doing it. We're super excited to get into production so we can talk about how great the movie is,

more so than which screen it is on. She's an incredible director, and this is an exciting project. Filming on the project, slated to commence in July. No one is quite clear about Gowicz's plans for the novel, but there has been talked that she would combine them into one giant narrative rather than adapt individual stories from the seven novel saga. Clark, you know, you were just talking about how this is more of like a industry thing,

and I agree with you, but I'm curious why you initially said that. Well, because I think that the hard and fast, we are a streamer, it's like I think that these companies need to be a little more nimble and meet the audience where they are. And I think that, frankly, if Netflix is interested, and I know on our slate is to talk about price increases, you know, if they're interested in making money, what the hell, excuse me, what the heck are they doing,

like turning down the potential to sell out an IMAX for two weeks? So I think that this is indicative of our industry because there's always this question between filmmakers and studios and streamers and the like. Where is our movie going to go? How is it going to be presented to the audience? And the fact that Greta, I think, is smartly maybe applying a little pressure and saying, yo, I just directed the biggest movie ever in the theater. Do you guys not want a piece of that? Like, I feel like, you know, I think that I think it's just a bigger indication that all of the people in charge need to be, need to be nimble. That's what I would say.

Yeah, I do. And I think there's a lot to look at this, the business. is changing overall. Let's not pretend that putting your theater in movies, it means more money for you. If you're an actor, it means more money for you. If you're, if you have producer credit of all these different things, it means more money for you if it does well in the theater. So there's another reason why Netflix puts it on streaming. And I don't disagree or not, I don't, I believe them when they also say this is our strategy. We do streaming movies. It's what we do. We don't we do this for qualifying runs sure, but you got to budge a little bit, especially when you're signing up a director, as you just said, someone who has a billion

dollar movie come out with Barbie, which never in a million years. Anybody thought that he would, Barbie would make a billion dollars. And it did. And it got an Oscar nominations. And she's a hot director right now. So people want to work with her. And she wants to do Narnia, which is an IP you're trying to get off the ground. You have the rights to.

And she comes in and she goes, I'm going to walk away from it. And you go, give her a release. Let her do it. But the problem is not a problem for everyone else, but a problem for them is that, as you said, is a precedent now. So if I'm the next director, I'm like, well, you gave it a Greta Gerwig, why can't we get a theatrical release? And they're going to go, what are they going to say to me?

Because you're not Greta Gerwig, well, then screw you. I'm going to go somewhere else. Yeah. That's what it says. It's, you know, I also think we kind of touched on Moana and that Bob Eager's choice to say, what are you doing? Put this in the theater.

and then it makes a billion dollars i think that netflix if they're smart they're seeing this movie in particular like let's even take greta out of it let's say let's focus on the fact that this is a family epic kind of thing okay well what is making the most money at the box office right now it's family centric films right and so if you're and barbie female centric films in a lot of ways so if you're smart you have both of these things together and you can book out these iMac screens i don't see I just feel like it's um you know it's less about they need to be able to evaluate their strategy on a case by case basis sure I also wonder what they're going to do and if they would extend it because let's say because they also might think look we don't because there's certain

movies you this wasn't Netflix I think it was Amazon but uh like red one right yeah red one they put out in the theater it doesn't do very well in the theater it destroys on on streaming like it just if they put it out the right time. But I wonder if Netflix puts out Narnia for those two weeks, and it makes more box office and it just, it just crushes everybody. And it's, are they going to pull it after two weeks?

Are they going to keep it in the theater and say, wait a minute, we can make more money? People want to see this in the theater? This is the other thing that I've never really understood, especially in this like, you know, this environment that we find ourselves in,

like creating an event. So for instance, like, let's talk about, let's think about Wicked. So if I, they said, okay, we're going to screen Wicked part one and for good, like back to theaters in one edition. I would show up to that. I feel like, so I think if you're, if you get the word out, if Netflix get the word out and says, okay, two week engagement, this is it. You guys better go and they sell it out.

Then you stage another engagement, I think, or you extend the engagement, you know. Yes, we have to do if it's making money. But you wouldn't be able to do an IMAX because of the way IMAX works. Exactly. Yeah, because you've got to secure the screens and whatever big movies coming out that November, December already has it locked down. It's tricky. It's weird. I wonder how it's going to do with Netflix.

Look in any way to make money. And another way they're going to make money is to take it out of your pocketbook. And that's what they're going to do because they're raising prices. Yet again, that's right. Netflix, who raises prices every other. Tuesday today is reportedly increasing its subscription prices in the US and other markets including the first price hike for its ad supported plan well that was the whole point to have it down was whatever the streamer announced its Q4 2024

earnings results Tuesday with the company talking in its biggest ever quarterly increase in subscribers gaining 18.91 million new ones for the period I wonder how many Monday Night Raw brought in a lot of wrestling fans. That's way above the $5.1 million added last quarter in the 13.1 million added in the fourth quarter of 2023. Played by success

like Squid Game season two, carry on Christmas Day NFL. The company is now reaching 301.61.63 million subscribers. I'm surprised they didn't mention raw in there, brought in a lot of people. Netflix 2025 Outlook for Revenue looks to be between $44.5 billion along with the news

came of the new pricing is following. Standard with ads is $7.99 per month. That's up a dollar. Standard without ads is $17.99 up from $15.49. Premium without ads is now $24.99 a month, which was $22. Almost $25 a month premium. Wow. Extra member $899 per month up from $7.99.

Netflix also announced an extra member with ads offering. The price adjustments applied to U.S., Canada, Portugal, and Argentina. The last major U.S. price hike was in October, 2023, and the last time the standard plan saw price rise was 22 in January. You know, I mentioned it kind of jokingly, but seriously in the intro that we're all going to go, how dare you do this? But you're still not going to cancel your subscription. Mm-hmm. You know? It's funny because I've been contemplating, canceling my Netflix subscription because I don't use it.

I don't use it like I used to. And I'm not a wrestling fan and I don't care about football. So like, you know, this stuff doesn't really matter to me. But I do think it is also insanely frustrating to see how many, how successful they've been with live. I understand. I know the Mike Tyson fight like was a disaster. But they fixed that they learned for they. It was successful.

And they improved the, the live element very quickly for the Christmas football game. And of course, they're doing, you know, they're doing the wrestling. So like I'm kind of, it's annoying to me that they would, they would go, okay, great. Now we are raising our prices. It's like, how much money do you guys need? I also got this morning, I got an email blast from Netflix that now they're opening a restaurant. Wow. This is not a joke.

Netflix, and MGMGM grant announced a grand opening of Netflix bites, Vegas restaurant. I was just like, what are we, what are we doing? I know. I know. It's just, you know, capitalism, baby. That's how it goes. And I think that that's going to be, yeah, it's weird because there's one side of it's like, okay, you're doing all these, putting all these costs, you're making all these movies, you're spending on all these different, because they're a film studio. They're a film studio. And so you look at the billions of dollars that Warner Brothers spends, Disney spends, and all these things. And you're like, I understand. And they're producing all these things. now with football. It's a lot of money that comes in for sure. So that's part one. And it's like when you rent a place and you're renting for it and you have a good and you don't have rent control and you have good rent and then you go month a month. And then every like four months, five months, you landlord's, oh yeah, I'm jacking up the price now. Like, well, I don't want to move or you either move. And that's the thing. I just think there's too much on Netflix now and they

know it. Plus, I think that the strike, you know, with all the things that that actors and writers and everybody, rightfully, so what they got is that now that there's new deals that they didn't have to pay before that they have to pay now and they're trying to pay for it and still make a lot of profit. I think that's the thing that is, you know, I understand, like, I understand greed. I understand the late stage capitalism. But at the same time, part of me is like, but really, how much money do you, how much of, you know, like, how much profit? But the endless growth thing is it's not sustainable. And I think that, yeah, so like the deals that we got, the actors and the writers got,

are not going to bankrupt Netflix. That's not what we're doing here. But, you know, the reason that I was contemplating canceling is one because I don't use it, but also I was like, well, I have been a Netflix subscriber since the beginning. the DVDs, the whole deal. I had like, I priced what it was. And then they grandfathered me for a minute. And then they forced me to have the ad plan or whatever.

And so now I have no incentive. Like I can just rejoin at any time. It's not like I'm holding on to anything, like to use your rent control analogy. So part of me is like, all right, well, sign up for $5.99 or $7.99 a month when Stranger thing, the final season comes. You know what I mean? And then I go, okay, I'm all set. because this is the other thing.

They put it all out at once. Right, so you can knock it out, you can knock it out quick and then cancel it, which I think is something that I, not just for that reason, but I think that they should stop doing that because I just. Stop doing that old million years ago. I know, I know. I hate it. I hate it.

I mean, the selfish person, whether it's me at times when I'm like, oh, I want to watch it all right now, that if you really think about your show that you love, you want it to be in the conversation for the two, months that it's on. Okay, look, forget about the property in general, but I noticed this the most when the Sandman came out. I was like, they just spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this very high profile adaptation and they just dump it. Yep. And then it is out of the conversation immediately. And I just thought if you were ever going to do it with a series, this should have been it, you know, like, what are you thinking?

It just, yeah, it's just a bone, it's such a bonehead move at this point. Well, it goes back to the, the story that we were talking about with Greta Gerwig. It's like they don't want to bend from their stance. Like their stance is, we do the binge model. That's what we do. We do no theaters. We do the binge model. And the one thing I kept seeing it.

I couldn't believe people kept saying this. So like, I don't really talking about. Fallout was all dumb. And that was in the conversation for a while. I was in the conversation for like three weeks, maybe a month. Maybe. And it was gone. Yeah. It's gone. Could have been in the conversation for four months.

Absolutely. Yeah. I couldn't agree more. Yeah. So, you know, I just don't think they're going to budge on it because of that reason. We don't budge. This is what we do. But I think that's silly. I think sometimes you need to budge. And I think you should listen to what people are saying because the majority of people like you would have. If Netflix did that for stranger things, I couldn't agree with you more. It's like the final season, everybody would be talking about that for week for week. And if you put severance out the second season all in one dump, people would talk about that show for like it's like, because it's kind of like a niche. It's popular, but it's still kind of niche. And I think it's stupid. I hate it. Yeah. And also, I don't understand how it is monetarily, how it makes sense for that. I don't, I don't understand because then you really do have to keep churning, churning, churning, churning. You can't buy yourself any time. But I saw somebody in chat saying like they should do it on. a case-by-case basis and even that i think makes sense um you know especially with the final season of netflix i think or excuse me of um stranger things i think we're expecting those episodes to be feature link you know like they they're going to be over 60 minutes and so it's like really you're going to

dump all of that content in a weekend for the finale of your biggest show you've ever had and then it's over like it's stupid it's really stupid you could be in the conversation for a bit and And no one would fault them if they were like, you know what? We were going to put it all on once I were going to put it week to week. And people like, oh, I wanted to watch it all. And then you're like, because the other thing is not healthy to do that because people are going to stay up until like four in the morning watching and like walking at work. Like banging and then thinking they're in the upside down. This is the other thing with the spoilers, by the way.

I remember when the last season came out and I was like, all right, nobody look at your phone. Right. Like put that phone goes over here. I'm going to a friend. We're watching it all, as soon as it comes out, because I don't want, I'm a big fan and I don't want the series to be spoiled for me. I'm same page. We've been on the same page. I thought we were going to be on the opposite page.

A couple different things. We're on the same page the whole damn show. Look at us. Look at us. Like we never stopped doing shows together. So we, I put this story in a few because I remember you. And maybe I'm wrong, but I remember you being big Sam Ramey head. Is that true?

Okay. I love Sam Ramey. I remember. So there you go. So this is. Well, right now we had some other ones, but I think we're going to do this story, and then we'll get to the questions. Dylan O'Brien joined Sam Ramey's Send Help.

Dylan O'Brien will star opposite Rachel McAdams and the darkly comic horror thriller Send Help, which Sam Ramey will direct and produce for 20th Century Studios. The project dubbed Misery Meets Castleway, like it already, is being seen as Ramey's return to the horror genre. It also marks the first horror film he has directed since 2009's Drag Me to Hell. McAdams stars as Linda, a woman on a business flight, with her irritating boss Bradley, who Dylan O'Brien plays, the plane crashes, leaving them stranded on a deserted island,

the only two who survive. When Linda has serious survival skills, Bradley does not. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. Mark Swift and Damien Shannon penned the initial script with Scott Beck and Brian Woods doing a rewrite. Zaneeb Azizi will produce the film which is targeting a theatrical release likely sometime next year. Send Help will mark the first time Dylan O'Brien and Sam Ramey have worked together, whereas McAdams worked with Ramey on the Doctor Strange sequel. O'Brien is coming off a well-regarded performance last year on Saturday night, Caddo Lake, and Pony Boy.

He's back at Sundance this coming week with Twinless. It's also not long ago shot down longstanding rumors that he was up for the roles of Spider-Man in The Flash at one point saying he never got even remotely close to anything beyond a casting pre-call on any superhero project okay um this one to me i i like dylan o'brien a lot man really do what do you know him from like i know you just read his credits obviously but like what are your favorite performances of his i'll tell you right now i loved him and saturday night as dan acroyd really liked him in that um before that i it's funny because when ellis and i had to see all those freaking uh twilight spin off the tween movies whatever that whatever they were called.

I was dreading Mays Runner. Uh-huh. And I left Mays Runner going, A, West Ball, damn good director and made that a lot better than it could be. And B, Dylan O'Brien's damn good. Okay. He was really good. He stood at and out.

I have to, let me look at his credits real quick. And I'll tell you, because I've seen a lot, I've seen tons of his stuff. Okay. I just didn't recognize him off the bat. Okay. I didn't see the Saturday Night Live movie. I didn't really hold any interest for me. But I did see the first maze runner, but that was only the one and done, like one time.

And then I was sort of, I was sort of out of it. And then, yeah, the other credits I didn't quite recognize or I hadn't seen. So, but either way, I mean, I love the, I love the enthusiasm for him. And I think that that's great. And also, you know, I mean, Sam Ramey knows what he's doing with casting. Like he's. It's funny. You say that.

because I look at he and he look even though he shot down the rumors about Spider-Man and other things like he was poised to be such a big star I know he got into a really bad accident um he was he was I forget on and what was I might have been on one of one of the maze runner movies but he got into a really bad accident and he came back from it obviously but I think there was like a big break if I'm not mistaken um let me see a 2018 I mean I'm not sure where where where how big the break was but I just remember that but yeah he hasn't been anything like that has like it doesn't surprise me that you said that because I can't even remember someone else said that like who's Dylan O'Brien I'm like really I just kind of assumed everybody knew who he was but he's not that

famous but he's good he's really really good and he was great as Dan Aykroyd he really was awesome and that's a bigger movie that I just personally didn't see so that's that's that's on me that's that's my fault i'm curious to what you i feel like you like that movie i've you'd either you'd either really like that movie or you would hate it yeah um that was what i anticipated yeah i i just it's the way that it's shot and put together that i really dug um it was in my top 10 of last year okay and rachel mcadams i love i'm doing a i'm doing it's funny because my friend sam who she is uh i've known her since the first grade and since i moved back to new york she i mean she's a mother of three she takes her kids to all these uh

like basketball games and she's just, she doesn't really have a lot of time to, for a long time to just watch movies to do anything. She just, she doesn't. People like, because when I mentioned certain things that she hasn't said, people on this channel, how doesn't she seeing that? Because she's not in our world.

Totally. And I can, she's had kids for, she got married really young. She's had kids, you know, for most of her life after college, right? So I can tell you, if I didn't do this for a living, it's very hard. for me to watch movies at home it's very hard so she didn't say so she had not seen any more and any of the mc u she knew nothing about it so we've been doing full-on reactions of uh all this

stuff the from the mcc we just we just shot we didn't release it yet but we just shot dr strange and we were watching rachel mcadams or both we love rachel mcadams so it's a long way to say that really dig that she's joining back up with sam ramy um but i'm more excited that sam ramy's he's doing something like this. I don't love his big huge blockbuster movies. I agree. So they mentioned in the article that this is the last time or the first time since Drag Me to Hell that he's been in the horror space.

And Drag Me to Hell is one of my top five favorite horror movies of all time. I love it. I love it so much. And for fans like me, yeah, it's great that Sam is like doing big things. And he's producing a lot within the horror space. But yeah, it's, it's, I miss, I wanted him, I wanted him to kind of get back to the horror world for a long time. And so I, I love that this is something that he's interested in doing because at the end of the day,

too, I think he enjoys doing the big movies. I think he wants to do the big movies. But the things that make Sam Ramey, Sam Ramey, are the weird, the little quirks, the sense of humor, the personality. And we all know that if you're working within a big franchise, you have to. to execute certain things in certain ways. I felt like in the multiverse of madness, that there were bits where I was like,

that's Sam Ramey. The piano. There's so many like great little bits, you know? And so I was like, okay, like there he is. But if we can let him kind of do his own thing, like I think that would be. I'm super, super excited for that. And it's also, you look, he's doing with Fox,

who's owned by Disney. So he probably made that deal while he was there. And there was rumors. that he's going to do, you know, for a bit, there was rumors that he was going to do the Avengers movie. I'm glad that he didn't. I'm glad that he didn't. I didn't love multiverse of madness. I just, I just don't think that that's where I want to see Sam Ramey do his thing. It's tough too because, like, obviously Scott Derrickson leaving the project and like they're already in, like he kind of hopped onto a moving train, I feel like, so he just had to execute.

Well, I don't want to oversimplify, but I think that was what was going on with multiverse of madness. Yeah, there was a lot, but I mean, look, the movie still made $800 million, so it still did very well. Exactly. Okay, here we go. So we're going to get into the question section of the show. Currently, the people to beat Roxy and Mike, who joined forces yesterday and got 106 beating Roca on Monday. So Clark Wolf coming in to see if she can do it. Starting out with 19 the other day when Roca, well, when Roca had, he roca had 73, he had 20 going

into the question section. So will the audience come on and take Clark over the finish line? We shall see. All right. So first question. This is from Mustafa, who says, hey, no idea if you talked about this yet, but what is your take on the slide, John Void and Mel Gibson News? I don't see them doing much. I just don't know. I mean, they're like 70 years old. Yes. You know, it doesn't matter what their politics are. They're 70 years old. They're not, They're not in touch with, you know, you don't win any, in any brand. And again, politics aside, and any brand, you usually don't bring in the 70 to 80 year old people to run to connect with the rest of the audience who are buying the tickets. So, yeah.

Agreed. Like, truly, I, I'm not just, like, keeping my mouth shut. Like, agreed. Aside, put the politics aside. I truly thought the exact same thing. I was like, oh, yes, the people who have their pulse on the entertainment industry, you know, what? Like, John Boyt has, whatever. If you brought in Robert De Niro, you know, if you brought in five, very liberal, 75 to 80-year-old people, I'd say, what are you doing?

What are you bringing Robert De Niro and who knows, Al Pacino and Julia Roberts is only 60, but still. but still. Yes, agreed. I think it's, I think, yeah, I think they're just, they don't, they don't have a good grasp on, I don't think they have a grasp on the business in any way. No. EWalk, I'll tell you, the only one out of all of them is Stallone, who's still tied into what younger audience is still, because look at Tulsa King.

That's what I was going to say. Yeah. So with Tulsa King, at the very least, he's working with Paramount. So there's a way that like you could make the argument. Okay, Paramount Plus, that's a streaming thing. Tyler Sheridan. Yeah. Totally.

Like, yeah. So like I could, I could see that. But at the same time, industry wise, if I may, these guys are not getting the same treatment or deals that like, like if they truly there, they were ambassadors between the White House and the government and Hollywood or the entertainment industry. Let's take that at face value. They also are not their legacy. They're being treated differently. Like, of course they are. So I just, again, I don't feel like they have their pulse on how the industry is actually going.

Yeah. The way that I think you should do it, you really want to do ambassadors? You make it like 10 and you make it from all sides of, you know, you take those same people that you just put them on, leave them on. And then put De Niro on there too. And then take someone who's 22, take someone who's 30. from both sides of the aisle and put them all together and see if they can all make it work together i i do agree that when it's one-sided either way it's not good um but i this is this these guys are not the ones i would vote into to be the to be the one correct i agree all right ewalk i'm not

particularly excited for a sean levy star wars film the best thing he ever directed was dear the dear billy episode of stranger things aside from that i haven't loved any of his film work i really liked real steel. I really love free guy. Yeah, free guy is another is a good one too. Love. I know a lot of people love the Adam project. To me, it was a softer version of free guy. But I thought, I will tell you that when I finished, I went with a friend to see Free Guy. She was doing PR, you know, like home video PR on it. And she was like,

do you want to come with me? Like I'll just, you know, it's on me. My treat. I was like, okay sure whatever and um i thought some of the action sequences i didn't know it was a sean levy movie so i was like i get to i'm watching i'm watching and i'm like who directed this this is like the way i loved this and then it said shy levy and i was like what i felt the same way when i saw um real steel i thought that was going to be the stupidest movie like everyone always says the rockum sock and robot type thing it was great it's such hard to it i actually and as much as i really do like Free Guy a lot. But if I want more of, I want them to go more into a tone, I want him to go more into the tone of

real steel for a Star Wars movie than I do Free Guy, obviously, right? Fair. And I think that because that real steel, I mean, there's some comedic moments in real steel, but it was like a father and son story. It was essentially, I don't know if everybody was speaking of Stallone. If you guys remember over the top, it was, that's what the movie was. It was just instead of arm wrestling, it was robot fighting. Yeah.

It's, yeah, and EWalk, that episode of Dear Billy is an incredible episode of television. It's really good. Okay, next one, speaking of EW. Clark, as a horror fan, what are your thoughts on Heretic? I hope that Hugh Grant can score a surprise best actor Oscar nomination tomorrow. Maybe with the AI controversy, he will. I love this question because I talked about it a little over on my channel, but like when Hugh Grant was nominated for Best Actor in a musical or comedy for Heretic,

at the Golden Globes. I was just like, what are we doing? As a horror fan, I was like, okay, as a put, you know, I do, I will give the Golden Globes credit in that. I like that they separate drama from musicals and comedies, let's say, because that way musical and comedy performances actually have the space to be recognized. Right. Because the academy is not, they're just not going to do it.

They're not, they're not making room. So, but that said, I do think that if. I could make a change, it would be to update the category to just genre. You know what I mean? Like, because that was not, the heretic is not a comedy. It has, there are some jokes in it, yes, but that's not a comedy. So, but to your point, I, I don't think he's going to get in there. It is a great performance.

I want to see more of that from Hugh Grant for sure. And, but I don't think it's going to get in there. Although, Christian, I watched the first like two-thirds of the book. Brutalist last night. Oh, yeah. Having read about what was going on and, and with the AI, and I don't think that this is going to impact Adrian Brody's chances. I think that he is going to be nominated for the best actor Oscar. I think he will definitely be nominated. The question is, will he win because of, because, you know, there, I think there are a lot of people who feel strongly about that the question is, again, we don't have to rehash this. We talked about the last two days, but like, the question is how much did they, you know, use this on his voice. Yeah. And you know, I was really disappointed, actually. I was disappointed when I read the information and I was disappointed when I saw the movie because I thought, you don't need, the audience would not know, would not, you know, you let him do the act. Like it just felt, to me, it felt unnecessary. Yeah. It felt like this little weird, oh, we just have to make it perfect.

No, you don't. That's what is, that's what human beings are. Or we are imperfect. And that is what actors are. the the raw moments the imperfection that's what we do so so so and that's what makes an audience fall in love with our work right yeah let them let them fall let them fall on and say like look if it was if it's distracting to where it doesn't sound good and the audience isn't connect well then he doesn't get nominated it doesn't work and if it does it's it's we'll we'll see we had a long conversation about it the other day but uh that's that's ever ever evolving story Miguel Zion I'm I like that it's most likely going to be a standalone film. If this is at least very good,

it can slowly mel all these Star Wars fatigue and implications of BTS drama. One would hope, but I use, now when it comes to circumstances like this, I have consistently used Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as an example, meaning that everyone was like, oh man, Marvel's in trouble. Now Marvel's in trouble, they haven't had a hit of these movies.

The TV shows are not good. And here comes Guardians 3. It's great. It was like, oh, Marvel's back. It's like, no, the franchise had the same director it had for the first two. It had a story that they wanted to tell for a bit. They had the same cast. They didn't have to change anything.

It was the same regime that was there before basically working on this movie. It was the end of a trilogy. Then the next movie was the Marvels. And I don't know, I thought the Marvel was just terrible. Yeah, it was terrible. I thought it was anyway. And then these other shows, that's the Secret Invasion show, was terrible. And all these different things, just terrible.

So this is the same thing of Star Wars. It's like, okay, wait a minute. You have acolyte, which was terrible, and then you lead into Skeleton crew. I haven't watched Skeleton Crew, but I hear it's good. And then Mandelaun and Grogu, is that going to be decent? If it is, is it just another season of television? Like, what's the plan? That's the big question.

What is the plan? If there's a plan, that's when the, I think, the fatigue will start to die down on Star Wars. Yep. I mean, again, I think they need, they, I don't disagree. I don't disagree. Miguel follows this up, Clark, and says, I just saw a real pain and a different man, which is Sebastian Stan. I like both very much.

Have you done seen him? And Kieran for Oscar nominations, Sebastian Stan was very good in another man, is he top five best actors coming from outside the MCU, maybe even better than Evans. You know, I didn't see the, and the other one is The Apprentice, which I saw a little scene from, and I'll tell you the scene that I saw from him, what I liked about it is you could easily fallen into just an impression and not a actual dialect. And I was impressed with what he's, I haven't seen the movie, so I can't speak on it. But I think he's a very talented actor. I did not see another man, but I did see a real pain. And I thought it was, I think Kieran's

probably going to win best supporting actor. Oh, that's great. I mean, so that I was deciding last night between the brutalist and a real pain. And so I watched the brutalist, but I will watch. I'm a big success. I love succession. Um, and so I'm, I like hearing Coking a lot. And, um, I've been curious about that movie for sure. Um, I really, really do, did want to see a different man. Um, and it's not, I don't believe it's like, it's streaming to rent, but not as a part of, um, not as a part of anything, uh, you know, included. And, um, and it wasn't nominated, Sebastian Stan wasn't nominated for SAG and those are the only award screeners that I get. But I did see, I did see The Apprentice.

I did watch The Apprentice and I think it's very good. It's very good. And exactly what you said, it's not a caricature. The performance is incredible. It's just Sebastian Stan is an incredible actor. He's really good. And I love what he's choosing too. I love what he's choosing.

Yeah. And then he's going back to Marvel also. Of course. He's not turning his nose on what got him there in the first place. So yeah, he's, I think he's, pretty damn talented. Bantos, with recent cultural change in America, will Hollywood drop their progressive ideology? Got to go with the culture. I mean, like I said before, and I stand by this too. I think there's a perfect blend.

I think there's a blend of how to do anything, whether it's Hollywood and anything. There's a business. I think there's, I think blend is more so than just a shift in any direction. But I don't know, Clark, how do you feel? I think that for like I personally don't, don't see, how do I say this? I don't see inclusion as an agenda, if that makes sense. Like I think that by recognizing our own biases, like, it's good to go, oh, you know what? Actually, I could bring on, I could help, I could recognize people of different persuasions, different ethnicities, different genders, whatever, right?

So I don't see that as an agenda. I see that as a course correction, to be honest with you. Like, oh, yeah, cool. We should invite more people to the table. I agree with that. I agree with that. Just real quick to say that. Like, I agree with that 100%, right?

But I think that what happens sometimes, too, is that in the same way that when you look at a movie that does very well in the box office, let's say it's a science fiction space movie. And then everybody wants to make a science fiction space movie. It's like, why are you doing it? Are you doing it because you want to make a good science fiction space movie? Or because everyone else is doing it and you're just doing it? and you're just doing it because, right? The initial idea of doing everything you just said, of course, spot on. You have to, you should want more people to be involved.

The question is, are you doing it because you don't want people to yell at you on Twitter? Or are you doing it because you really want to do it? You really, your real agenda, not agenda, like you said, your real purpose is to say, yeah, we want people to be included and we want to find the right people. Like, I think there's two sides of it. I really do. I think because I think sometimes people abuse it because, oh, yeah, we have to do. this because I've heard people not in places that I've worked who have said who've been like well

we have to do this because and it's like not because because you you a want to and B it's the right thing to do because that person's the right person for the job yeah and that that's the type of stuff that I think that gets lost sometimes yeah it's hard because again like I think our own internal biases we sometimes we don't even know we have them right and so having those conversations so that one can recognize our own biases. Like, that's important. But, like, you know, I am... So that's what I would say.

And by the way, like, I don't think I'm seeing in the chat. Like, should LGBTQ people be on Disney shows, Clark? Yeah, LGBTQ people are all over the planet. So I don't have a problem with, like, you know, to do dads on a kid show. Like, that's... A lot of kids have two dads. You know what I'm saying?

So like to me, this is not like, I don't know. I just, I don't, I don't see the force. I don't see the agenda as much as I think other people too. Fair enough. All right. Next one. Ian Davis. Clark, you were the goat of the showdown in my book, Legend.

What is your greatest trilogy of all time? Ooh. Well, I can tell you my favorite trilogy, which is a, which is a trilogy that I made up. And that is the first three paranormal activity movies. So the first three paranormal, the first three paranormal, the first three paranormal activity movies are my favorite trilogy. And the reason I say that is because actually they were, they were telling a story about a family.

Like it really, it was bouncing around in time. I loved the mythology. I loved the world building. And I was like, wow, this is actually a world that I want to keep going in. And Chris Landon's the marked ones. I like a lot. But then after that, like, it's just the franchise abandons the family element. And so it fell apart for me.

But yeah, that's my, it was never marketed as a trilogy. No, but still, but still, I mean, those three movies. Armada. Wow, Bruteless was pretty excellent and epic. See it in the theater, if anything, please. Still, I think Dune 2 is a bit better, but great movies overall. Dune 2 was my favorite of you. You didn't like, dude?

Dude, I just, no, no, no. I just got kicked off of my HBO Max. I don't know how to log back into it. And then I can't. So I'm just like, I've been wanting. I've been sitting down trying to watch June 2 for the last couple of like the last week. So I hear you. I feel you.

I'm trying to watch it. Just give me a little more time. And by the way, I have a MCA list now. I got it back in December. So now I'm actually going to see way more movies because I don't get invited to like screenings. Like I'm not on that regular screening invite list, you know. And so, so yeah.

I love to. I love that movie so much. Big Bang OT4. Should Lucasfilm reboot the sequel trilogy in the future by adapting the expanded universe stories that focus on Mara Jade and Luke's children? They won't. Should they? No.

No, because they're not in that spot. They just pick and choose, hey, you know what? Some people don't like those movies. we're going to pretend they didn't exist. There's a lot of people who did work on those movies. That would be like, they made a billion dollars. Why are you erasing my work? What are you doing?

No, they can push off of it. I don't think they are going to ever do that marriage aid. And I'll tell you, as long as Flonny's there, they'll never do marriage aid because Lucas hates marriage aid. So I guess Flonie has to hate marriage aid. I think that Lucas film should reboot nothing. Right. But truly, there is enough,

there are enough characters and stories in the universe. Yes. We don't need any reboots in that universe. None. Agreed. Big Bang follows it up. Timothy for best actor. Who are your winner picks? I'll tell you, if it wasn't for the controversy, I would say Brody and a shoe in, but even though I haven't seen the movie yet. It's just from the buzz. From the buzz that I'm just like looking at the numbers in general. But my pick and who I hope is Timothy Shalamee, because I'm a big Bob

Dylan fan in general and you talk about in how easily something could have turned into an impression that's part one part two is that impression singing songs like this not just like an artist like oh I can kind of sound like him you have to sound like Bob Dylan and in the same way that he from every little word that he says and he he was great Timothy shallamee from that performance alone I think he is a very very he's a like a next level We're going to hear about him for a very long time. Yeah, even though I don't love the movie as much as you do, Christian, I do think that the performance is fabulous.

I thought the acting in a complete unknown was wonderful. And I think Timothy Chalemay gave a great performance. I'm again, I'm almost done with the brutalist, and I'm loving Adrian Brody's performance. And you know, here's the other thing. Like, allegedly, the AI would guess was just like the voiceover in terms of reading the letters. And so to me, if that doesn't disqualify a performance, like, what I'm seeing, I'm seeing, you know, so like I really, really, I don't know, though.

Who else do we think is going to be in the conversation? Well, Timothy Chalamee for sure. If you look at this, let's see Golden Globes nominations. Sebastian Stan won for a different man. Right. So let's see. That the Globes. He did.

So let's see. Winners and nominees for this year. year for what was it the for for actors in general like um okay let me ask you a question clark as as as someone who's in the acting field also yeah did you have an issue with actor slash actress or do you like the fact that they change it as female actor now Oh, that, yeah. I refer to myself as an actor. You know, I just, yeah.

So, so, but I actually haven't thought a lot about that. I thought what you're going to say is do you have a issue with separating the two and like meaning like should should just be best best performance and, you know, mixing everything together and no, I definitely don't think that that should happen. I don't either. motion picture for the dramas was ajorie brodie who won coleman domingo for sing daniel craig for queer uh as we say i would say ralph finds ralph oh conclave yes i just much conclave yeah ray finds uh sebastian stan and timothy shallamee so that was but for comedy let's see what who is nominee for comedy you got uh glen powell for hitman no gabriel labell for saturday live have no two grant for heretic no jesse isenberg real pain maybe you're nominated jesse plemmons

kinds of kindness and sebastian sand a different man so sebastian sand will probably get nominated for that um yeah i think it's between Adrian brodie and timothy shallamee with brodie probably getting the win depending on if anybody cares about this thing i'm very curious yeah i'm going to be curious to see how it shakes out yeah how the nomination shake out for sure uh right we're 24 questions as far mike joyce wow sing sing what a Beautiful movie. Back in theaters now for anyone who missed it when A24 bungled its initial release an absolute must watch. What happened with A24? I don't. I think I think Mike is saying that maybe the movie came out, but it made no waves. And they didn't really push the promotion elements.

And then, but now that he's, he's buzzing, Coleman's, you know, buzzing. Yeah. Okay. Mike says, Clark's got a great YouTube Patreon. Just check it out. Yeah, absolutely. Mike. The link is in the description for Clark's channel. If you miss the beginning of the show, Clark is relaunching her channel. She's doing streaming every, which is Tuesday and Thursdays? Monday and Thursday. Monday and Thursday.

Monday and Thursday. So please go and check that out. Okay. So the next one, thank you, Mike. Mike's always in here too. And for patrons of my channel, I'm going to be both patrons and members. I'm putting up those raw reactions out pretty soon. Simon's Action, Part 1.

Miss Wolf, I can't decide whether or not you're pretty with or without your glasses. You're like a Jerry Buckheimer movie, but you don't always look the same. I saw that when it got put in the jet, and I was like, thank you. He's saying you look pretty either way. And we love a Jerry Bruchheimer. That's right. Part two. Also, regarding the American Sanko cast, I guess those rumors have been debunked.

I honestly couldn't see Elvis, who once played Sting his hips in Phil Collins. Stu, studio, look at the camera. Again, the only reason, this is the difference. The reason why, because we've been talking about this whole debunking thing on, because I had heard a story that I said in some other sites that it wasn't happening, so right away it was debunked, as they said, but didn't come from anybody who particularly said it from the actual project. This was the creator of the book who said, now it's not happening.

Fred Easton Ellis, yes. Yes. So. And then there was another thing, wasn't there another thing that's going, that was going around yesterday that was like, it was something and it was, and it was like nobody from the production has ever, hasn't confirmed this at all. Okay. But anyway, I was with you, Sam and I were with you the day that this like broke.

Right, right. And, yeah. And I, and I said, we don't need another American psycho and people got mad. And that which I was like, because they were, but also they were like, again, with your, I see your chat with that nonsense. And I was like, no, dude, we don't need an American psycho, not because I'm like saying that it's no, you know, moral majority. No, I say because the movie's perfect.

Because the movie's great, right. Leave it alone. She did it. Mary did it. It's over. It doesn't look like anyone's even talking about it. So Armada, I want Ryan Gossing for a nice guys TV show. I'm so curious because Russell Crow was on Howard Stern, I guess, a couple of months ago.

And he asked him about, because I don't think he's ever done a sequel. or if he did i can't remember but either way he said the sequel he wanted to do was nice guys um you said that a bunch he said that much i don't know if it'll happen i don't know i i don't think they got along did they on from what i heard i don't i don't know maybe it's not true but i could be making that up but i you mean gosling and crow yeah i think that was when crow was going through some of his stuff maybe i'm making that up i don't know but i thought that i had heard that somewhere oh i actually don't know i've never heard it but um i know the people who love the nice guys love the nice guys. I love that. I love that movie. Did you like it or no? No, okay.

But I should I should watch it again now that I like both of them a little better. Okay, yeah, I liked I liked the movie. Please go on. Also, also the I was comparing it in my mind to the dynamics and kiss kiss, kiss bang. Yes. And I love, I love Downey and, um, and Yow Kelmer together. Like to me, that was a pairing that really was perfection. Yeah. And so then when I saw, a similar dynamic and a similar vibe. It felt like it could have been those two characters kind of just spun off. It just wasn't like that wasn't for me.

But I should give it, I should definitely give it another try. Do you know Kiss Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was the first movie that was they, I just started working at Silver Pictures when they did that movie. Well, when they shot it and they did it, an actual premiere for it. It was the first thing.

I just started working. You're going to the premiere of Kiss Kiss Kiss Kisses, it was great. And that movie, was buried. Warner Brothers did not do anything with that movie. That movie is brilliant. It's such a great movie.

Amazing. New Christmas classic. Oh, it's so good. Jason, Ashcroft, could not be more excited for House the Dragon Season 3. It's my favorite show on TV. I also hope Ray gets her movie soon. I love Daisy. Wish Adam Driver got more love for Kylo. I think he would have, and I think people do dig it.

They should have stuck with what they were going to do with him and kept them bad. The second thing agreed. Yeah, they should kept them bad. that Colin Travaro had a good take on what they wanted to do with him. He actually followed the previous directors who directed before him, as opposed to Ryan and JJ, who didn't give a shit about each other. So, yeah.

All right, next one. And again, thank you guys. 26 questions so far. It's great. Travis coming in hot here. If either of you could pick any comedian past or present to replace a character from the Star Wars saga, a comedian? Who would it be?

And what character? Mine would be Rocky Danger for replacing Anakin. I'm on the council and I still get no respect. Oh my God, wow. George Carlin is Yoda. And Eddie Murphy is Lando. Perfect. There you go.

There you go. George Carlin as Yoda would be, you know, would be something else. He would have a lot of life lessons. A lot of life lessons. He's been dead for like 10 years. He's still giving us life lessons. I got to see George in concert. and it was at, where is it,

where is it the Nokia? Forget where it was, but somebody, my, but actually it's funny, I got tickets to George to go see him and then it was right, it was right, it was not too long before he passed, and I went up going with Brett Sheridan, and we went to see him, it was great.

Yeah, it was a good memory. I had the ticket somewhere. I'd have it in my box somewhere. All right, let's see. Next one. And again, thank you to everybody who's been in here having the conversation. Geek Load Stars.

Have you seen Cadillac with Dylan O'Brien? I have not. I enjoyed him in that movie and it was nice to see him in something. I think it's kind of like a time travel movie. I haven't seen it either. I haven't on it. Honestly, I haven't even heard of it.

It's on. I think it's an HBO Max movie. Interesting. I feel like that's, I don't think I'm making that up. I'm not sure. So let's say, next one,

but I would, I do want to see it. I heard mixed things about it. Some people really love it and other people say that it was um, gavish. Nerds engage. How does one become so classy? That's right.

You just got to, years of practice. That's exactly right. So funny. Like all those different, it's like, you know, a lot of times,

there's no, there's no, um, that when you come to the nicknames, it's like, okay, what works with, with C because of Clark?

Right. And then you're like, I remember thinking I'm going, yeah, she's very classy. Classy Clark Wolf. How does that works? Of all the things people have called me on the internet,

Christian that is my favorite classy Clark Wolker that oh yeah those there are certain nicknames that from the shmody on that just stuck some of them some of them didn't work some though worked really really well and some sometimes we just switched them did you have a favorite nickname of anybody that's that stands out right away oh man well I do think Roka's the outlaw is good yeah and then of course uh Rachel Rachel the Crusher the crusher yeah and yeah that's good i'm trying to remember i guess yeah and then the crusher the smasher i remember like i remember he kevin wanted to be called something else and i was like no you're gonna be the smasher he's like don't do this and i was listen and at the time he was just i was

like you're gonna and then rachel's the champ you're gonna do this and if we're gonna get that match of the crasher the smasher versus the crusher never happened though never happened no no uh simon section christian regarding your mcc movie reaction when it comes to civil war will you a friend be aware that certain actors are no longer with us one is recast um the other like so you're talking about you're talking about black panther is that is that what you mean i think she means or excuse me i think they mean that um like certain uh like does your person know maybe like terence howard was recast or maybe one well it says one certain actors are no longer with us. I mean, that I was soon from Civil War, you mean, you know, um,

Chavitt Boseman. Yeah, she, she, she definitely knows, um, because when he, when he was, we've already reacted to that when it comes out Friday. So she, she was very aware of that. As far as the Terrence Howard stuff goes and, I mean, yeah, it was, it's hilarious because when we were, and that's already out on, we released those, but when she saw, she loves Terrence Howard, she saw. And then when he was replaced, she was pissed off. And then I was like, I said, Don Chiel's going to grow on you. And I can't remember which movie it was, but she's like, you're right. Don Chil's, he rules.

Yeah. So, yeah, I think that's, I think that's what you mean, Simon. But, yeah, she's aware as far as the Chavut goes. Top Dog, RLG. Hey, Clark, what are some widely loved horror movies that just didn't click with you? And why? So I always kind of freeze when I get asked these questions. Like, it's always hard to pull your favorites or your release favorites.

But one that does immediately spring to mind that I will say. And again, I'm not saying that I think the movie is bad, actually. Like I'm just saying it didn't work for me. And I've tried it multiple times. I've tried to get into it is it follows. Oh, okay. It follows. I don't get it.

I have never found it scary. I don't understand the hype. I have gone back and watched it multiple times to try to be like, okay maybe I and it just it's not doesn't do it for me yeah uh Armada Christian do a reaction to Lighthouse with Sam I'm actually going to be doing a reaction first time watching for her but not me with Tina Tina's gonna come in we're gonna do Nosephratu um and I might try to do because I don't think she's ever seen the witch and she's like so I have my friend Tina I have Sam and then I have Sadie who's going to be doing stuff who's done some stuff with us but like Tina loves

horror. So we watched Long Lanks together and we watched I had never seen Smile before so we watched those two together and then she actually wrote me today and she's like Have you seen us brought to? I said don't watch it yet We'll do a reaction to it and then maybe we'll do Lighthouse also

but Sam's going to be tied up in MCU for quite a while Paul Marquette I am just Kent I just do the force That would be amazing. I'm so curious to see what he's going to you would assume he's going to be a muggler or something, right?

Yeah. He has to be. I mean, I was, when I read the headline before I even clicked on it, I thought to myself, why wasn't he the new Han Solo? Right. Yeah. I think he would have been up for it. He was famous at that time.

That seems obvious. Yeah. And you know, the other person that was up for it at that point that I think probably should have gotten. And I like Aiden or Alden, I should say. Alden. I do. I like him too.

I just don't think it fit for that role. I think that, what's his, Taryn Eggerton. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah. So, okay, let's see. Let's go to this next one. This is from GoPel.

Let's up, GoPel. A lot of work to do today, but here's some support. Well, thank you very much, GoPel. And who follows it up and says, I'll catch up on the replay. Well, you are here every day, my friend. And I really appreciate how much you've been supporting the channel these last couple of months. So, lords and hammers, hey, Clark, with the channel relaunching, will you be bringing back sending the wolf? It was essential during its run.

I'm sending the wolf is the name of my live stream now. So we're basically just reimagined. It's back. It's just in a different format. However, what I will say is I am trying to find a way to make one of the episodes each week into an audio podcast. Like I'm trying to, I'm tweaking the format. I'm working with how to put it back into your podcast feed.

I'm thinking about like the do. I listen to this podcast called Dumois. It's a gossip podcast, but I really like the way that she does it. Um, so, so thank you for listening to the original run, the first 60 episodes. And, um, yes, sending the wolf is the name of my streaming show right now. Perfect. Uh, again, if you guys want to subscribe, you should subscribe. It's in the description.

The link is one of the first things you see in the description. Richard Allen elevator pitch, crawl remake as a streaming series similar to Game of Thrones and an alien invasion. I love this idea. Yeah. Same. Love it. It's like make it a TV.

Make it a TV. There are certain things you can just turn into a full on TV series. streaming and put it like HBO Max. Bring back the mini series. It was in fashion for a while and then it disappeared. And I am very upset about it. It is like some things don't need to be four or five seasons long, but some things also need to be longer than 90 minutes.

I know. And remember V? Yes, I do. That was a good one. Pixar's in a no-win situation by cutting recent LGBT content. then it's sadly not tolerated in much of the world, but Disney needs these places to make money? What was that?

Oh, I see what you're saying. You're saying that you need, there's certain things that I have to do in order to cater to people. I understand what you're saying. Yeah, is that how you read that, Clark? That is how I read that. Okay, okay.

Simon's section. George Carlin is Yoda? Let's see, how would you even say, how would you even quote him? because he did this openly white as column power black is what he happens to be that uh that's that's that's the george carling bit yeah dancing white people stop yeah those those those his bits where there's something else i love george calling he was so clever do you ever see the documentary that judd appetow did on him

no i haven't actually that's on hbbo too it's really yeah there's some great there's some great that yeah comedy docs for sure that's a good one uh g-c-o-l-l-b-y-p levy's filmography is a mixed bag I liked Real Steel, Night at the Museum, all three Ryan Reynolds collabs, and Big Fat Liar of Paul Giamati, but I also remember the Pink Panther with Steve Martin. Well, everybody has a miss. I mean, look at, look at James Mangled, right? I didn't like the last Indiana Jones wasn't the best. One of the, I mean, I didn't like night and day at all.

Love Logan, love Copeland, loved to complete unknown. Love the Ford versus Ferrari. Everybody can hit you can't hit all the time, right, Clark? Sometimes you got to take a job too. I mean, like sometimes, you know, sometimes there are elements beyond your control. Sometimes you're working within a studio that mandates certain things. Like, you know, I just like, yeah, I mean, not everyone's going to have that 100%. No, and it's like, look, I think if, and I also understand why they're going with Sean Levy right now, Lucasfilm, because that's what they do.

They go with the hot director. And he's coming off of a billion dollars, a movie, 1.3, whatever Deadpool Wolverine did. so they want to sign him up. And they're going to get him before you, so the last time what they did with Colin Chavaro, he made Jurassic World, made a billion dollars, and then he did a second movie, he did another movie in between and it bombed,

and then they panicked and they got rid of them. So they're, Sean leave it. Don't make anything else, just make our movie. Also, I think Colin was so early in his career at that time. Sean is not. Right, right, right. Sean has proven that he can make movies and TV shows that appeal to wide audiences.

He can direct big budgets. He can, you know, it's like, I think it's just apples and oranges, honestly. Geek load stars. I literally call it it follows ghost aides who watched the movie and I hated it. It's not for everyone. It's polarizing for sure. I didn't mind it. I remember seeing it when it came out.

People were raving about it and I'm just, you know, it's not my type of thing. anyone. I was like, that's not interesting. It was creating. Again, not a bad movie. I'm not saying I think it's a bad movie. I just don't get, I don't think it is scary at all. Yeah.

The Cali Kid. I would love to know what are some overlooked movies of 2024 in your opinion. For me, Lisa Frankenstein, I didn't see it. Maxine, Strange Darling. Furios is the one I would have chose. I don't think Anora is overlooked. I mean, it's getting a lot of buzz. I like, I like,

I like to Nora. I'll give another, a little plug, because I'm not on their payroll, I promise. But the first omen, I just loved. I loved the first omen. And I, and I, Strange Darling also, I think I mentioned this last time I was here, but I got to see the world premiere of that at Fantastic Fest. And we all kind of walked out of that going.

Whoa, that was awesome. Well, Strange Darling is one that everyone talks about, and I didn't see that one. But maybe that is overlooked because I think that the people have seen it, love it. But I don't think Anora is overlooked. Maybe they mean box office. Maybe, maybe. You know? Could be.

Gish Ghali. I don't think that Clark realizes that normal people solely walking after the girl in the Falls are actually monsters. Different movie, if you know that. Gish Gali is, I know, he's giving me a hard time. I know him. Yeah. And I see you.

And yes, I do. I get it. I get that they're monsters. Yeah. I haven't seen that movie since it came out. Carver Tate. if you'd like to see a TV version of the nice guys, check out the show that good guys with Colin Hanks.

It was great. Lovely to see you, Clark. Hi, Carver. Lovely to see you, too. Colin Hanks is underappreciated. Colin Hanks? Yeah. I wish he was in more.

Yeah, it's funny. He always pops up, and he doesn't matter. You know what the thing is? He probably does, and you just don't know the stuff that he does because he pops. Oh, look, it's Colin Hanks. And then you kind of forget that he was in it. But he's really, yeah, he's a good actor.

I like him a lot. Mike Joyce, thoughts on John Bernthal joining the Odyssey. You can get John Bernthal on anything. Sign him up. He's great. I love John Bernthal so much. I just think he's so great. Yeah, he's wonderful.

He's, even though people love him, he's a very underrated actor. Yes. Because he is so versatile. He can play a Southern dude that you buy, and then he can play someone straight out of Brooklyn tomorrow and you buy it. Like he's great. I also think that the Odyssey, like putting him in the echelon, putting him in the Nolan crew, I think is going to, we know who he is. If you watch the bear, you know, if you watch Punisher, if you watch The Walking Dead.

Like he's in, he's in so much. But I hope that the Odyssey kind of pushes him into that A-list. Yeah. If he wants it, by the way. Right. He might not. He could easily be the lead. He's always like, he's always like the second guy.

Right? But he could easily be the lead. I know that in Punisher, he's the guy, but he can easily be, he's so charismatic. Do you ever watch his podcast? Yeah, actually, yes. I very, I respect his opinion and what he does and how he talks about things very much. Yeah, I like John Berndtall a lot. Page, Chaudhry. Clark, you are so awesome.

The Southern horror-loving gal. How was it meeting Jamie Lee Curtis and wearing a Deborah Hill shirt? My mind would have been racing. Much love. So I was not wearing the Deborah Hill shirt while I was talking to Jamie, but I did ask Jamie about Deborah Hill, who was, of course, a producer who died very young, but she co-wrote Halloween with John Carpenter. She produced Halloween and went on to produce the Fisher King, Clue, like so many things. She was a really prolific female trailblazer, and she unfortunately died of cancer about 20 years ago. And she did not have children. She was not married at the time. it's like not a ton of people could carry on that legacy except for the people that you know she worked with in um i'm in a documentary about her called trailblazer that hopefully will be coming out this year um but what happened it was a really wonderful moment actually you know that was the

um san diego comic con press line Halloween 2018 so the it hadn't come out yet and um and yeah and i asked her they were like one question one question yeah her up, hurry up. And so I was like, wow. So I said, you know, everybody's coming back for this. What do you think Deborah would have thought of all of this? And she cried. She started to cry. Jamie cried. It was very beautiful. And I think that it was it was the first time anyone had asked her about Deborah in a long time. Now there's like this push to really remember Deborah, especially on social media and, you know, but yeah, it was wonderful. It was a beautiful. It was a beautiful moment. I'm so happy the camera

was on. Yeah. I'm actually going to watch that after this is over. I remember that. Yeah, I love that moment. Simon's section. They recast William Hurt with Harrison Ford to Chal Alex Cross, forget Hawkman. Yeah, I know the William Hurt thing. Not yet. I haven't brought that up to her yet because we're not

we're not there yet, right? Like, with the child, she knew that Chowick passed. So there's nothing that we're going to, once we get the Black Panther 2, we'll bring that up. She knows what she does know is Her favorite thing of the MCU was trying to find Stan Lee. And so I did I did tell her at one point. I was just like, well, you know, Stan's not with this anymore.

She's like, no. She didn't know Stan died. So I wanted to kind of brace her. So now every movie, she's like, is he in this one? He died already. Yeah, I was like, no, no, not yet. I was like, I'll let you know when it's the last one. Because his last one, I think is Captain Marvel.

I think that's his last movie. I think because I remember like they put, because he at the, it was like in the 90s. And I think he's reading the mall rat, script on the bus from what I remember. All right. Anyway, so that was Simon. Thank you, Simon, the Cali kid who says, I love sending the wolf pot.

Can you repost episodes? I thought about doing that. I haven't decided yet. I haven't decided. So the original run of the podcast is not on online anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I took it down for a minute. So I don't know.

Maybe maybe like I should do like a re-release. That could be fun. Could. Yeah. Is it just private on the channel? No, it's just, it's not available on the feed, on any feed or on the website. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Well, maybe she's going to be working hard on that channel. So that's why you got to go over there and subscribe. So you see what kind of update she's going to do. Top Dog, RLG, my sides are hurting while listening to Roxy's thinking cute DM story this morning. I'll bet Clark has some hilarious, awkward dating stories also. Yeah, Roxy talked about out yesterday on the show. She said she did something.

She went outside her comfort zone that she's. never done before and there was some guy that she thought was cute so she went and yeah and the guy said you know in contact me you know you sign me DM and she's like I never do this she never does it and so she did and she wrote she read the note that and I'm only comfortable talking about this because you talked about yeah of course of course yeah and then yesterday she said um when she did the DM she's like listen I saw you and it's this and she's like and you're so stinking cute that is and I was like and we're like everything was good and she was laughing it was It was hilarious, but you have any that you want to talk about, any hilarious, awkward dating stories?

I think there was, there were two fails, massive fails on my part. On your end? So I'm not, I'm totally fine talking about this. I'm not on any dating apps. That is intentional. I just, I'm done. I'm done with dating apps. I don't think they're good for anybody.

And they're not for me right now. So as a result, I'm trying to meet people in person. I'm trying to have people set me up. The way we used to do it. Yeah, in the before times. So anyway, there was one instance where I was at a party and there was a director who I know who he is and he's very handsome. And so we were chit-chatting. And due to circumstances, we were, me and my wing lady were like trying to get in there to say goodbye so that he could maybe ask me for my phone number or like whatever.

And this man out of nowhere walks right in front of me. Like I truly was going to, I was going in to say great to me. And then this guy goes, hey, I saw you. We parked on the same level of the parking garage because I was wearing like a floral print suit. I was talking to you. He was talking to me. Oh, okay. And he was like, yeah, wow, I saw you going up the escalator.

And I was like, and then like, get out of my way. And I so so it didn't happen. I didn't get to. So then I was like, okay, I'm going to slide into his DMs. I'm going to do it. So I like type something, hey so and so, you know, loved our conversation. We should like keep the debate going over a cup of coffee or something. And he just he replied, hi, Clark.

That was all you got. I was just like, I don't say anything. Just don't say anything. Like he totally like I totally shot my shot and he totally just did not pick up what I was putting down and I was like oh my God and then the other story I'll tell you real fast is there isn't that there so I don't date actors. Yes. Except there was a there was an actor who is older who is older right and I've always had a little crush on him and I've met him a couple of times and we have a mutual friend and so I will always joke with our mutual friend like oh is so and so single and and my our mutual friend will be like Clark, you do not want to date that person. Like he's too old for you. And I'm like, okay. Tom Selleck. I'm not a mustache girl. Okay. So, so this friend calls me one day and he's like, okay, if you're serious, I was at, I was at an event last night. I ran into some mutual friends

and I have learned that this person is single now. So if you want, I will set you guys up. And I was like, yeah, do it. Now, this person, and George Clooney are the only men in this age range that I like, you know what I'm saying? Like I don't. The Caratop? Yeah. And so basically, yeah, you nailed it. I've been trying to, I've been trying to move to Vegas for a long time.

And so anyway, my friend, how am I interested in going on a date with him? And then 20 minutes later, I get in the, I get a text saying, oh, Clark, my information was wrong. Oh, no. And he is not single, but he's so flattered that you're interested. And I was just like, oh, that's not your fault. That's your friend's fault. But I was just such a cringe. I was like, do you just crawl into a ball?

Truly, truly. I'm hitting on a 60-something year old man. And he's like, sorry, I'm single. I was just like, sorry, sorry, I'm not single. And I just was like, oh, my God. Yeah, but that's not. Oh my God. Yeah, I don't, I understand, I understand you being embarrassed on that, but that's not your fault.

That's your faithful for giving faulty information. You got, yeah, you got bad, you got bad intel. And then later on, I brought it up with his mutual friend, and he was like, oh, Clark, to be clear, he was so flattered. Oh, that's cool. And just like, I cannot believe that she would be interested in going out with me. And I was just like, I'm going to have to find out off air who this was. I'll tell you. Yeah.

Dancing Dog 60. Thoughts on upcoming films, companion. with Jack Quaid and drop the Blumhouse film. We love Clark, bring her back off. And well, Clark and I have been talking to, she wants to, she definitely wants to be involved, especially she's doing, you know, more stuff on her YouTube channel, like more people to know that she's doing it. So she's just welcome anytime.

Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know. I just know that he's doing that movie. I don't know much about it, but I like Jack Wade. I'm curious about companion. I'm really glad that they put out there in the first real trailer that Sophie is AI. So we know that it's not like you know it going in.

It's not like a big surprise. It does look a little, looks a little wild. I could be all over the place, but I'm curious. And then the drop I, that's Chris Landon, love Chris. He's such a good director. And I actually know the two screenwriters as well. They are really savvy, smart, functional screenwriters. But Chris, Chris Landon is talking to you.

about underappreciated truly like underappreciated director so i'm actually very excited for the drop i'm sure it's going to i'm very excited for it um all right dancing dog 60 burnthall or grillo who's the better actor in your opinion ah it's tough i love frank rillo frank grillo i've had conversations with and i think he's a i think frank grillo is a great actor i probably give the edster bernthall i agree yeah i get the ed's burntthal i think that what frank frank's great and frank can do like i just as i said i don't know if i could see frank grillo as the uh well it's not true i mean look what he did in um in tulsa king he's he did very good and he didn't want to play that kind of traditional kind of mobster he went with the the the more you know western type of guy he's

great i love frank rill i just bernthal's got a little bit i don't know if he's a more training i'm not i'm not sure but a slight edge so that's a tough one for me because uh because i love crank grillo i think he's the best yeah yeah yeah Yeah, yeah. Okay. So I think that, no, we have a couple of G. Colby, VyP. Looking forward to Sam Ramey got cooking. Uh, I would look at what he's got cooking. I even liked Multiverse of Madness personally. Rachel McAdams is the top five celebrity crush for me. So I'll watch anything she's in. Yeah, she's got, there's something about her too. She's just, she's really, uh, classy is another word for her, I think, too. She's really good. She's just a really good actress. Like she, she really is. And I, anytime she's in something, I'm, I'm like, okay, this is, I'm curious. Fasia Bruta. Timothy Shallamee should win best actor, Oscar.

I'm with you. I think he should. I absolutely love them in that movie. Simon, I think Stanley's last live appearance was in Endgame. Make Love Not War when Tony Stark was born. Is that true? Maybe you're right. This is trivia. I do not know.

But I don't know if, I feel like the last one they shot was Captain Marvel. I feel like. That might be somebody somebody looked it up and let me know. Okay. So I guess that's, is that true? That's probably true. Look at this. Haskell said, Finstock just tweeted.

Of course, why we're on the air. Check out your Gucci and the new, it's like zombie strain. I play a porn star. That doesn't, does that surprise you at all? So that should be enough of the price of admission. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Let me know what you think. Out on digital January 24th.

That surprises no one. on this panel. Good for him. Man, I want a job. Can I have a job? I need a job. Have you? Well, I mean, look, like I said, you're doing, I'm telling you, I do believe that if you, with the dedication that you have and the work ethic that you have, I think your channel could be huge. I really do. Well, I appreciate that. It's fun. I mean, you know, I hope that it's a, there's some insight into the way that all of this works, because I think, I think we've talked about this, but I really thought about some of the, you know, our job as movie talk people for all those years. And now that I'm making movies more, I have a better understanding. So, you know, I think

that that's important in the way we talk about movies. I think it's if you, and that's something I can bring to the table that maybe other people don't. So. And I love it. So please go and check it out and check the link in the description. Dancing Dog 60, Roger Corman discovered a ton. of later famous directors including that Demi, is Jonathan Demi or Ted? John, I think Jonathan. Cameron, who would you say is today's Roger Corman director guru? Oh, that one to you, Claire. This is a tough one, I think, because I actually would say for a minute,

I don't think this is maybe true anymore just because the way they've changed the way they do business. But Jason Blum would finance movies for young directors, like, you know, especially directors and director jail. Right. And so he would say, okay, here's a million dollars. Go make your thing. Like, and you have complete creative control, but also you only have a million dollars. And, you know, there's, for instance, there's a story about Jordan Peel, like, you know, pitched get out all over town. And everyone said no.

Right. And Jason Blum was the one. was the one who was like okay yeah we'll we'll make this with you so you know yeah uh i think you're right i think you're right i mean like i always they they have such a great strategy i mean even you look at like these movies that they make for like eight dollars and then they like i was talking about uh i talk about uh the the night swim movie like that like it's just a smart strategy that he's got in general and bring giving people a shot to kind of stand out uh the callie Kid, Sending the Wolf is so good. I'd sub just for stow. I don't know that one. What does that mean?

I don't know. But thank you, Callie Kid. I appreciate that very much. I would sub just for sending the wolf. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Uh, mirror domains. Could we ever get a horror told in the Star Wars world? They did it. They did it in, uh, in comic books. It was like the zombie stormtroopers, which was really terrifying to be actual. But it's, but no, they'll never do that. They won't, they wouldn't do that. I mean, they did it in Marvel with the Marvel zombies,

but they're not going to go full on hard. Do you think they would ever do that?

Miss Wolf with the passing of David Lynch, were you ever a fan or noticed his work? Would you say you're more of a David Lynch fan than Terrence Mallet? Yeah. So we talked a little bit about it. You can go to the YouTube, my YouTube channel, and like you'll see the remembering David Lynch. But David Lynch was such a unique person, a unique figure within the entertainment world. And there were a lot of his movies that I love. I love Wild at Heart. That's probably my favorite. But also, I love Wizard of Oz.

So it's basically a loose reimagining of the Wizard of Oz with Laura Dern and Nicholas Cage. So what else do you want? And then I've never been a huge Territ and Smalick fan. So I would, I would, I guess, if I had to choose, I would choose David Lynch. Well, there you go. Thank you guys for joining us here today. Appreciate it. Clark will be back soon for sure.
