Hey, man, let's have a great 2026 together. Thank you for being here. And what better way to start off 2026 than to do the most anticipated, the top 10 most anticipated movies of 2026. Now, I've been doing this list for quite a while back in the day with the Schmo's No, with my good buddy Mark Ellis, who used to do these anticipated lists. And I've been doing them since I started this channel. up myself. I also like to go back at the end of the year. I looked at my most anticipated from
Starting point is 00:01:35 2025, and I like to see how many of those movies actually made it into my top 10 of the year. Last year, three of those made it into my top 10. So that was both F1, Sinners, and one battle after another. All three of those made it into the list. Now, where they landed for most anticipated to where they landed in, you know, best of, that's part of the fun. So what I always like to do is I like to do a bunch of honorable mentions and then lead into the top 10. So I'll give my reasonings as far as why they hit the list. So let's do a couple honorable mentions. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So one of the ones that I don't, the reason it's an honorable mention is I don't know enough about it yet, but I'm intrigued because Shyamalan is coming back and he's doing a movie with Jake Gyllenhall. This is called Remain. I know nothing about this movie. but those two together, interesting. Shaman has been kind of hit or miss, but what I like what he's doing is he's not trying to overperform when it comes to budget. He's telling the stories he wants to tell,
Starting point is 00:02:39 and I'm always intrigued to see what he's going to do. So because of that, that's in there. Fawker-in-law, which is the newest in the Fawker series, but this time you've got Ben Foster, Ben Stiller is playing the dad to Skylar. Aston's character this time around, he's bringing the girlfriend home, so craziness will ensue. I'm interested in that one, so because that it's an honorable mention. Hunger Games, Sunrise of the Reaping is definitely in there for me and probably could have
Starting point is 00:03:10 landed a spot in the top 10 if the other ones didn't, because I really enjoyed the Hunger Games books. Now, like everybody else, the last two, Mocking Jay, Part 1, and 2, and they weren't that great. But the last one, the prequel, I wound up really enjoying. So the idea that this one's going to be about Hamich and to see his time when he went through the Hunger Games, that to me is intriguing. I am curious about it. I know the book was really well received. So I'm excited to see what's going to happen there.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Resident Evil, this one, oh, man, it really was close to hitting my top 10 because of Craigers, the director who just did sinners and barbarian. if it wasn't him, I wouldn't care about Resident Evil, but because it is, I'm absolutely looking forward to it. It was very close for being in my top 10. I just couldn't do it yet because I don't know yet if I can get on board of Resonable. I've seen it so many different times. I love the original game, but I'm looking forward to it because it's him. Maybe I wind up loving it. Maybe I kick myself in the rear end for not putting it in the top 10, but because of that, it's just an honorable mention. Scream 7.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Same type of thing. I have been on board with Scream here and there, but I think that I've liked maybe one or two, maybe three of them. I don't know, but it's one of these movies similar to Jurassic Park. I always go to see them in the theater, always curious.
Starting point is 00:04:41 See, but with Neff Campbell coming back, Matt Lillard coming back, how they're going to try to keep it fresh once again. That's interesting to me. I like seeing these movies in the theater. Sometimes I think they stink. Sometimes I think that they're a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Where I'm going to land on this one, I don't know, but I do know I want to see it. Clayface is another one that I really want to see in the theater. Clayface, I like this side of the DCU. I like that they're doing these elseworlds thing. I like that Mike Flanagan helped with this one. I like that they're going in a smaller budget, kind of darker feel. I don't know a lot about the Batman villain, but I know that it's going to be a horror-themed DC movie,
Starting point is 00:05:27 and I'm on board with it. Speaking of DC, Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow. I didn't necessarily love the trailer itself. Thought it looked just okay. But what I am intrigued about are the opinions of the people that I know who say that the comic book is one of the best comic books that this is based off of Woman of Tomorrow is one of the best comic books that have been out for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:05:52 The science fiction element of it, to see what Gillespie's going to do with this movie, that is intriguing to me. And I really like Millie Alcock. I think she's a great actress, loved her in House of the Dragon. So I am definitely intrigued. I hope it's more of Gillespie style in this one,
Starting point is 00:06:09 but we will see. I definitely am curious to see how this movie is going to do. So it's one of the summer movies that I'm looking forward to, for sure. All right, 28 years of. later, Bone Temple, there's another one. Honorable mention. I liked the last one. I want to see what they're going to do. I'm pretty sure Killian Murphy's
Starting point is 00:06:27 coming back for this one. So where that is going to, where they left it off from with the kid and the kind of the lunatics that he's with, how that's going to play. Almost like a cockwork orange type of feel to it. So is it going to be good? I don't know. I know that Danny Boyle
Starting point is 00:06:43 isn't doing it this time around. So we will see fingers crossed. I don't know. The Rip. This is the Matt Damon Ben Affleck movie that is coming out on Netflix really soon to see them reteaming. What that's going to be putting this together in this almost like town-esque movie with the two of them. You put them together with that team up.
Starting point is 00:07:11 It's always going to have me interested. So the RIP is up there. Social Reckoning. Now, this is the sequel to the social network. Now, I am hesitant about this one, but still intrigued. I wish they could have gotten Jesse Eisenberg back. They've got a good cast. Fincher's not directing this one, but they're still going to say it's a direct sequel.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I don't know why they could have just made it just a different movie. Okay, so social reckoning, whether or not it's going to be missing David Fincher, the rest of the cast, I don't know, but we'll see. maybe it turns out to be wonderful. I have no idea. Now, this is the one I think is going to shock people that it's an honorable mention, but I just couldn't put it in my top 10 because I just don't know how much I'm really caring about it. And that is The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Mandalorian Grogo is the first Star Wars movie since 2019, with a caveat that it is basically the fourth season of the Mandalorian TV show. Now, I can't even tell you where we left off in Mandalorian. season three, but this is clearly what they're doing and what I think, as I've said many times over, with this movie, what they've done well is instead of making it the fourth season of, you know, for streaming, they're spending the least amount of money or one of the least, the smallest budgets in Star Wars movie history and putting it out there to essentially get their budget back on this, make a profit, hopefully get $350, $400 million.
Starting point is 00:08:47 to make back. And if they do it, it's a win for them. This is not they're trying to saving grace to try to get Star Wars back in the theaters. Now, what they're also trying to do is Grogu, you know, that's going to get the kids in there, and that's what they're hoping for. So I don't really know, from what I know of the script, it's just going to basically be almost like a Clone Wars type of thing with the huts, and they're trying, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, Grogo and Mandalorian are trying to rescue the hut and somebody else is trying to, is trying to, is trying to, is the other villain. And so it just, it seems like a glorified kind of animated episode. Maybe it's great.
Starting point is 00:09:29 We'll see. But because of that, I couldn't put it in my top 10 because it's just not one of those movies that I'm like racing to the theater to see. All right. So let's start with number 10. Now, the only reason this is number 10 is because of my history with it and because I'm cross- of my fingers that it's going to be good and that's Masters of the Universe. So if you aren't familiar with my channel, you've no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Back when I worked at Warner Brothers and when I worked for Silver Pictures, I had got the project of Masters of the Universe
Starting point is 00:10:01 picked up by Warner Brothers. We were working on it at Silver Pictures. I had gotten it from Mattel. It was the script was a turnaround. I was working on it with with some good people. didn't happen. Things happened. Scripts fall apart, all that stuff. Yada, yada, yada. So years later, it's gone to different places. They never could get it.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Well, now, Travis Knight, who did Bumblebee, which to me, I still think, is the best live-action Transformers movie that's been made so far. He also did Kubo. And that movie is great. I think Travis Knight is phenomenal. I think that this movie,
Starting point is 00:10:40 if done the right way, Lord of the Rings meets like Star Wars could be great. The problem that I have is I've heard from test screenings that the thing is more like Thor Love and Thunder and more like a Saturday Night Live thing than anything else too and really paying homage to the 80s camp tone of it. Maybe that winds up working. I don't know, but it has to be on my anticipated
Starting point is 00:11:03 because I've been waiting for this movie and a version of a live action for such a long time. And because of it, my fingers are crossed and it comes in at number 10. All right, so number nine. This one's a no-brainer. Weirwolf. Robert Eggers.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And if you guys saw Nosferatu and you saw my review, reaction of Nosferatu, I loved it. I love what Eggers does. I think he is a phenomenal filmmaker. And this cast, it's a very similar cast to Nosephiratu.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Lily Rose Depp, Willem Defoe, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Ralph Inneson, They all return. Now, what we really know about this? Not much. I guarantee it's about a werewolf.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And that alone has it for me. In medieval Britain, a mysterious creature stalks the foggy countryside, transforming local folklore to terrifying reality as villagers face an ancient supernatural threat. Sign me up. Robert Eggers doing a werewolf movie. Okay. Robert Regers did a vampire movie. I'm in. He did a witch movie.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Okay. You know, so this is something that, again, like I said, it's a no-brainer. I love the way he does things. I love the way, I love his style of filming. I love the intensity. I like, you know, it's one of those movies again. It can get pretty graphic, but I think it's not gratuitous. I thought Lily Rose Depp was amazing in Nosferatu.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I want to see what she's going to do here. Here, she was not the love interest for Aaron Taylor Johnson in the last one, but I wonder it looks like they could be in this one. Maybe, maybe not. And I assume Aaron Taylor Johnson is the werewolf. So because of that, all those things combined, that's my number nine. Okay. So number eight, again, a movie I don't necessarily know too much about, but because of the team involved, it is easily in my top 10. And that is Digger.
Starting point is 00:13:05 This one is the latest from Alejandro Interatu. It's got a hell of a cast. Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hula, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, Emma Darcy, Robert John Burke, Michael Stolberg, John Goodman. It's a Warner Brothers movie, and the movie itself, it's just a black comedy, and it is basically, this is the first English language film,
Starting point is 00:13:35 that Inoratu's done since the Revenant, and that's what I was back in 2015. I don't know anything about this movie. I just know that Tom Cruise is playing Digger Rockwell, and that's all we know. Tom Cruise, Ineratu, I'm in. What is it going to be? It's going to be an Oscar movie probably, most likely, if done correctly. I would assume it is. This is, again, since 2015, Revenant, Oscar, Birdman, Oscar.
Starting point is 00:14:03 You know, this is, so this is good. We're getting to it. We're getting to, and this is also, I think, a much-needed thing for Tom Cruise. I like this. This is like a Magnolia switch. Get away from the Tom, the Mission of Possible movies and everything else. Make the right-hand turn. Emmett Darcy, phenomenal on House of the Dragon.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Curious to see what the rest of the cast is going to bring to it. Again, I know nothing about it. but if you're talking about anticipated, you tell me the Neratu is doing a movie with Tom Cruise, okay, then put it on my list. And that's what I want to see. So that's what's coming in at number eight. All right, number seven. Now, this one, this one is similar to what we said before.
Starting point is 00:14:49 And I mentioned the social network and the social reckoning having that sequel without the original team. Well, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is my number seven. Now, this is the somewhat sequel of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Cliff Booth, of course, being the character played by Brad Pitt. Now, Critton Tarantino is not directing this movie. He is writing it, but he is not directing it. David Fincher will be directing it. But if you tell me, again, as I just said beforehand,
Starting point is 00:15:24 David Fincher directing, Tarantino is writing, Brad Pitt is going to be in it. Elizabeth DeBecke, also in this movie. You've got Timothy Oliphant, Carlos Gugino, Scott Kahn. Okay. What's it about? How is it going to play? And from what they say in just the little synopsis,
Starting point is 00:15:46 it showcases more of Cliff Booth's backstory in his new role as a Hollywood fixer. So maybe we'll get the did he, didn't he story happening. I don't know. But the fact that we have this team up, and we get to see Fincher and Brad Pitt teaming up again, whether it was Benjamin Button, 7, and then knowing that we still get the Tarantino flavor.
Starting point is 00:16:14 It's funny because I just watched True Romance. And even though Tony Scott directed it, Tarantino's flavor obviously all over it because he wrote the script. So to see this and to see Tarantino writing this, and Fincher directing it, I don't think we're going to lose anything. I think we're going to get a different kind of flare on this thing. So because of that,
Starting point is 00:16:34 and I really like the character and seeing what the character is going to do, I want to see what Brad Pitt does here because the Ventures of Cliff Booth, that character just stood out. And the things, first of all, you've got to assume DiCaprio is going to make an appearance, right? He says he's not, but you got to assume that he is. I feel like Tarantino's going to write him in there.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And what will happen here is a Netflix movie with Fincher, with Tarantino writing, Brad Pitt, starring as Cliff Booth. Sign me up. So let's get to number six. Number six for me, could jump back and forth depending on it. I wasn't even going to watch a trailer for this one, but I watched a trailer because I wanted to make sure. I said, look, it might have hit the top 10 before. It might have hit an honorable mention. But it was definitely in, it was probably going to be in the top 10 anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:40 But it's higher up on the list because I did watch the trailer. And that is Project Hail Mary. Lord Miller directing this one with Ryan Gop. Gosseling in the lead role. Hell of a cast here, too, with Ryan Gosseling and Sandra Huller from Anatomy of a Fall, who was just a big standout in last year's awards, or I guess now two years ago. But this movie I didn't really know too much about, but it takes place. It has an interstellar kind of feel with the story, that there's something going on.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Earth's in peril, so there's an astronaut who needs to go out. and be out in space, although Matthew McConaughey wasn't alone. He's going out alone. So he's got to try to figure out because he's a scientist, but he's not. Matthew McConaughey was an experienced astronaut who had been, who had done these things. This guy is not. And he's thrown into this world to do it or is thrown into space in order to do it.
Starting point is 00:18:39 He's floating around out there and things are happening. But they kind of go back and forth, at least in the trailer, and show his journey there and he's just a normal dude who is experiencing what is happening out in space as he's exploring it. It looks like he meets something out there, something happens. So Lord Miller, love what they have done. I think that they're really interesting. I also think this is going to have a lot of people asking even more questions about what if they had done solo, the movie solo, after we see this. But Ryan Gosling, to see him in a role like this, fingers crossed,
Starting point is 00:19:22 want the guy to get a hit. Everybody likes Ryan Gosling. You want to see him get a hit. I'm hoping that this is one of those movies that people go out and check out. So this is a dark comedy. It's a sci-fi film. So Project Hail Mary coming in at number six. All right, so let's get into the top five.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Top five, starting at number five. let's go to the comic book movie world. So Spider-Man Brand New Day. This is a hyped-up movie. Understandably why. We haven't seen a Tom Holland Spider-Man movie since the last one he did with Andrew Garfield, Toby McGuire, and No Way Home came out, I think it was 2022.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Is that right? I think so. So we haven't seen him in a bit. And the last that, we did see Peter Parker. Everybody forgot who he was. That was the spell Dr. Strange put on the world. And now we have to see how it's going to not only affect him, but how it's going to affect this new MCU that we're going to be. This is the movie right before another highly anticipated movie.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Destin Daniel Cretton is directing this one now. and it's got Tom Holland coming back. Sadie Sink from Stranger Things joining the cast. And they are going to be in it how much we don't know. We do know John Bernthel as the Punisher will be in it. Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Bruce Banner. We know that Bernthal and Tom Holland are chasing around Hulk. We're finally getting a rage Hulk.
Starting point is 00:21:02 At least that's what we think. Will that lead into Planet Hulk? will lead into all these other things. The reason it's so anticipated for me is the Spider-Man movies have done it right so far. They've, they've, I liked all three of them. I liked what they've done with Tom Holland in the MCU. And I also like that it's a bridge
Starting point is 00:21:24 to get us into the new Avengers movies, transitioning us into the new phase of Marvel, because they need it. I also used to love the comics of when Spider-Man and Punisher used to be in the comics together. I also want to see a version of the Punisher shooting at the Hulk. I want to see, this is the first
Starting point is 00:21:48 version of the Punisher in the MCU on screen, on film, rather, the movie. We've only seen them on TV. So that's going to be great. Now, who the hell is Sadie Sink play? I was still convinced she's playing Gwen Stacy. Maybe I'm wrong. other people think she's Gene Gray
Starting point is 00:22:09 other people think she's somebody all together someone different um nonetheless I think that it is important if they're bringing back all of these all stars for the MCU I think it is very important to start with this all star here in Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:22:24 now where is he going to go and how is he going to be because we know he doesn't have a lot of his staples anymore he is MJ doesn't know who he is um Ned doesn't know who he is. Doesn't have Aunt May anymore.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I don't think Happy. Happy doesn't know who he is. So there's going to be a lot to explain. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they're going to continue this story. And I think it's, and I also think you're going to have a more of a grounded Spider-Man at least for a little bit. And I've been looking forward to that, at least with Tom Holland's version of it. All right. Number four. This one to me, if you follow my other channel, you know that I'm looking.
Starting point is 00:23:06 forward to this one. Disclosure Day. Now, this is the new Steven Spielberg movie. This is about UAPs, UFOs. This is about the understanding of are we out there by ourselves? Are there other things in the universe? And if people know, should they be telling us? Well, this movie seems to try to answer that. you've got Josh O'Connor, just had an amazing performance in Wake Up Dead Man, the Knives Out Mystery. Emily Blunt is the lead in this one. You've got Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo, Wyatt Russell. This is going to be intriguing to me because the way that the trailer itself looks,
Starting point is 00:24:00 it looks like this is more of a close encounters type Stephen's. Spielberg movie than it is a War of the Worlds. And what I mean by that is, War the Worlds is like a kind of fantastical, here's this big alien invasion type movie and like ET where it's like an alien movie and it's like, explore your imagination as where close encounters was a lot of science and other things that were potentially, you know, people that he had advisors and things that he had heard and other things that he put in there. and with his own story. And I feel like the question,
Starting point is 00:24:38 because he's very much into the topic of UAP and disclosure itself. And the question that has been out there for at least, for, well, for decades, but most recently since 2023, when there was a public hearing with David Grush and all this stuff too about the information and what should be out there if we do indeed know about things, how much should the public know?
Starting point is 00:25:02 and I like answering that question inside of this movie. How much of it will be a pure science fiction movie? How many people, how much of it will be like, oh, are those questions are really out there? We don't know. But curious to see it. It's Spielberg. So because of it, number four, my most anticipated. Number three.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Now, I just mentioned one of the, we're running into the new era of the MCU. And because of that, the Avengers are coming back. Avengers Doomsday is number three on my list. The cast, if I read the whole cast off to you guys here, we'd have three videos. There is a major, major cast. It's going to be one of the most expensive movies of all time. We still really don't know what the movie is about. We know that Chris Evans is returning.
Starting point is 00:25:51 We know that little teaser came out. We know Thor is coming back. We know that the gang is getting back together. Now, the question is, this is an argument I get into people all the time. I see people saying, well, this is a desperate move. And I say, how do you know that? You haven't seen the movie yet. Well, don't show me down because of my opinion.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You don't, you haven't seen the movie yet. You don't know if it's a desperate move yet. It very well could be a desperate move. If the story stinks, it seems like a desperate move, is a different statement. Could be, but it is definitively, you haven't seen it yet. And I think that with the Russo brothers coming back, and putting together
Starting point is 00:26:31 Dr. Doom as one of the most terrifying villains of all time and getting their cast of characters back that they've worked with. Downey and Chris Evans and, you know, Hemsworth and everybody.
Starting point is 00:26:47 They're getting a lot of people back. Now, what that does is it's going to bring a lot of the mainstream audience back. At least those is what they're hoping it's going to do. And I don't know enough about this story, but I know that I am looking forward to it. I mean, even with that little Chris Evans tease, hearing the Allen Silvestri score and going,
Starting point is 00:27:06 oh, I miss that feel. I miss that feel again. I do. And maybe it's like, okay, nostalgia bait. Okay, I'm in. I want to see it, though. I want to see how you're going to do it. Now, I could be with you, some of you,
Starting point is 00:27:22 and say, they loop me in, but they didn't keep me because it just seemed like they were, just putting it was like an all-star game, but it wasn't a championship game. And that's, I want a championship game. I want them to make me care enough that I'm looking forward to the following year. I want to feel the same way I did at the end of Infinity War where I'm going, oh, what's next? What did you do?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Oh, man, you got to set me up to get me to secret. wars, which is going to be, that's, that's the diamond. That's what everybody's looking forward to is that one. Can you get me? And you're going to have all the old X-Men there from the Fox universe, probably the last time we're ever going to see him. And if we can get the emotion flowing to where you care enough, people will be excited again. So because of that, the Avengers doomsday, and to see what Downey's going to bring to do, see how they're going to explain it. Things need to be explained.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Things have to be, you know, you're going to have to set up everything, but that's why it's on my anticipated, because I want to see how they're going to do that. I'm very curious to see how they're going to do that. And I think you'd be lying if you said you're not curious how they're going to do it. You might not be, you might not think that they're going to be able to do it,
Starting point is 00:28:52 but you're curious to see how they're going to try. At least I am. We'll see. So that's my number three. Number two. Now, as of right now, we might get number three and number two on the same day, but I don't think it's going to happen. My number two is Dune 3. Messiah, right?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Sure. So I wouldn't imagine if you went back in time five years ago and told me I was going to make a list of top 10 and in the top 10. and inside of that, there's a Star Wars movie coming out, a Dune movie coming out, and an Avengers movie coming out, and that I would place Dune over both of those movies, and the Star Wars movie wouldn't even by my list. I would have told you, you were nuts.
Starting point is 00:29:40 But that's where we are. Dune 1 and Dune 2, which I really see is one big, huge epic movie. But both of those movies, to me, are some of the best science fiction in the last five to 10 years. and I absolutely love it, love it, love Dune 2, love Dune 1, and I remember my good friend Mark Riley telling me back in the day
Starting point is 00:30:09 where I was like, yeah, because I always looked at the David Lynch, Dune, and I said, it's not from me. And he said, well, what the actual book is, is what Lucas got a lot of his inspiration for Star Wars, and there's so much in that that I think you'd love if they do it right. And boy, oh, boy, did Deney do it right? Deneyville Nuve directed one and two. Now, the third movie, Saya, I don't know anything about the story.
Starting point is 00:30:40 All I know from what people say is that the book is really weird, the third one. Or I guess the second one, right? Because the book is just doing the big book and then the next one. So it follows Moda deep air to unimaginable power as he brings to fruition the ancient scheme to create a super being ruler among men, not in the heavens. Whatever that means. So the cast right now, Timothy Shalami, obviously, returning as Paula Trades, Rebecca Ferguson, returning as Lady Jessica, Robert Pattinson, going to be in this one.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Javier Bardem coming back as Stilgarz and Daya returning Ashani. I need to tell her joy, having a bigger role, obviously, than she did in the second movie, Florence Pugh coming back, Jason Mamoa coming back. I don't know how, but apparently he's coming back. And Ida Brooke also during the cast. Now, there's a lot of other people instead of this movie alone, but as I mentioned to you, I am just such a huge fan of these movies. So, and I'm hoping Hans Zimmer returns to score it. I love that score. But what they're going to do in the way that they transitioned from where Paul Atradis went by the end of that, you all, it's got, this is why I see like the Star Wars and I assume this is going to be like an Anakin type thing.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I would assume, maybe. I don't know anything about the story. So this is not me spoiling anything. This is just from where they led from the last movie. But I want to see where that goes. I want to see what his relationship with Zendaya is going to be moving forward. I want to see how these people are going to be looking at him as they, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:23 um, watched his rise to power. So I cannot wait to see this movie. I cannot wait to see where they go with this. So that's why that's my number two. Number one, if you know my channel, you know my number one.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I've been talking about it and we keep bringing it up more and more because there's more footage now coming out of it. There's a trailer that just hit recently. There's a prologue and that is Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey. Holy moly. I mean, there are certain movies you just, just got to see in the theater. And this is one of those movies. Based off of the Iliad,
Starting point is 00:32:57 I cannot wait. I cannot wait to see this movie. This is a movie that's coming out in summertime, and Christopher Nolan is the major director right now that everybody wants to see. Whatever he puts out, everybody wants to see what he's going to do. I mean, the guy made an Oppenheimer movie that made almost a billion dollars. And it was a great movie. But if you said, oh, hey, someone's making a movie about Oppenheimer, you wouldn't think that the movie would get close to a billion dollars. But Christopher Nolan makes sense. Now, they filmed the hell out of this thing. It's going to be huge in scale.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Listen to the cast. And you know what you're getting. You're getting Matt Damon, who's in this one, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lipita Nyango, Charlie Ceyron, Mia Gauth, James Remar, Ryan Hurst, John Bernthal, Benny Safty, Elliot Page, John Logizamo. I mean, holy, holy, because everybody wants to work with him. Everybody wants to work with him, and everybody will work with him for free if they asked him to. It's going to be long. It should be long.
Starting point is 00:34:10 It's going to be epic. It should be epic. It's going to be epic. It's going to be everywhere. And it's going to annihilate. I cannot wait for this movie. Christopher Nolan is, again, the rock star director of our time right now.
Starting point is 00:34:25 He really is. It's like whenever his movie is coming out, everybody goes, when? What is? Even don't love it. I love Dunkirk. Not everybody loves Dunkirk, but you still were excited to see it when it was coming out. Tennant, it's another one.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I didn't love that one. Still excited to see it when it came out. Inception, one of my favorite movies of all time. The Dark Night, my favorite movies of all time. So many movies that he, whatever he does, Interstellar, another movie that, the first time I saw it was, I don't know. And then the more and more I watch,
Starting point is 00:34:52 should I fall more and more in love with it of what he does, his choices. And he's always doing different things. And now he's doing this. And now, and for God's sakes, who is not historically accurate, somebody said, with monsters and everything? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Anyway, so I cannot wait for this movie.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I cannot wait to see what they're going to do with it. Christopher Nolan is the man and I cannot wait to see. So what about you guys? Are you excited to see this one? Do you not care? Put your thoughts in there. Let me know. What do you think about the list?
Starting point is 00:35:30 What do you think about the honorable mentions? Oh, another honorable mention I think is Michael. That's another honorable mention. I'm curious to see how they're going to do that one, how they're going to cut that second half of that movie, how they're going to, if they are going to explore everything. Curious, for sure.
