On the November 13, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editors Jacob Hall and BJ Colangelo to have a spoiler-filled conversation about The Marvels.Opening Banter: In The Spoiler Room: The MarvelsQuick acknowledgement of its sub-par box office performance, the delight some people are taking in its failure, etc. If you want to listen to people gleefully celebrate this movie’s failure, I’m sure there are plenty of places to do that, but that’s not what we’re doing here.Brief reactionsJacobBJBenBreakdownThe movie opens with Dar-Benn, played by Zawe Ashton. She’s now the leader of the Kree, and is searching for the Quantum Bands. She uncovers one of them and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) has the other. Before we get into the heroes, let’s talk about the villain.So Dar-Benn opens these jump points across the galaxy, and by the end of the movie, we realize she’s trying to use these portals to essentially siphon resources back to her home world of Hala – including Earth’s sun. (I’m not really sure how that works, and the movie isn’t super interested in the details, either.) But the jump points create some sort of anomaly in space, and Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) end up touching things they shouldn’t have touched, and Kamala Khan’s bangle/Quantum Band ropes her into one of the movie’s main ideas, which is that these three women are linked, and when any two of the trio use their powers simultaneously, it causes them to switch places. Antics ensue.At one point, they visit a planet called Aladna, where everyone sings as their primary form of communication, and it’s revealed that Captain Marvel is married to a prince.How did you think the film dealt with the relationship between the three women? Monica and Carol have history, Kamala worships Carol.Sam Jackson on a space station, using Flerkens kittens as escape pods.Eventually Dar-Benn gets a hold of both Quantum Bands, is nearly killed by the power of using both at the same time, and inadvertently rips a hole in the multiverse. Monica convinces Carol to make amends for destroying the Supreme Intelligence and basically causing a Kree civil war by flying into Hala’s sun and reigniting it with her powers. Kamala and Carol supercharge Monica, who flies into the multiversal hole to close it, but ends up being stuck on the other side.I guess the Khans are living in Louisiana now?Kamala goes to recruit Kate BishopThe mid-credits sceneMonica wakes up in a medical bay overseen by Dr. Hank McCoy, aka Beast, played once again by Kelsey Grammer. Monica’s mother, Maria Rambeau, played by Lashana Lynch, is sitting at her bedside, but this is an alternate universe version of the character who didn’t die during the five years Monica was Blipped, and she apparently has no idea who Monica is. BJ, you wrote an article about this, so tell me what that costume was that Maria was wearing.Kevin Feige continues to slow-play the introduction of the X-Men into the MCU.Closing thoughtsAll the other stuff you need to know:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Thunderbolts, Armor Wars, Avengers sequels - they won’t do it with X-Men proper or Fantastic Four - maybe a new Punisher?I saw a comment on an old Reddit thread where someone was arguing that there shouldn’t be any R-rated MCU movies aside from something like Deadpool, which doesn’t impact the ongoing narrative, because that rating makes it inaccessible to the kids who love these stories.

On the November 6, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the latest film and TV news.Opening Banter: Thanks to the support of you all, the listeners, The /Film Show is once again /Film Daily! Starting today, we are immediately jumping back to doing the podcast five days a week. We’re going to try to stick to a loose pattern of talking about box office on Mondays, news on Tuesdays, doing a water cooler on Wednesdays, a group conversation/debate/list on Thursdays, and Fridays will be a floating day where we may feature an interview or talk about more big news that dropped throughout the week. I also want to get back into doing big spoiler conversations about major movie releases, so we’ll try to introduce those back into the mix as well and may shift the schedule around to accommodate those as needed. There’s a chance we might miss an episode here or there due to holidays or sickness or just life stuff happening, but we’re ramping back up in a major way.The reason we’re able to increase the frequency of the show again is because of our ad partners, and because of listeners like you. So if you hear about a product or service that you’re interested in, it’s important to use the specialized web addresses that we provide, because it’s your way of telling our partners “/Film Daily sent me” and it keeps them interested in working with us, which will keep us able to continue making the show.

On the October 12, 2023 episode of The /Film Show, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about the latest film and TV news and gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been up to.Opening Banter: In The News:The AMPTP has suspended talks with SAG-AFTRAListener email: Neal from Missouri writes in: Killers of the Flower Moon is coming up and it is one of my most anticipated movies. Its long runtime at 3 and a half hours doesn't bother me, but I know it has to be a factor for a lot of people. Some people would rather wait to watch at home so they can pause it to go to the bathroom. Marty argues that you watch TV for five hours, but I don't think he takes into account you can pause it. So my question is, why don't we get intermissions on movies this length anymore? Is it because theaters want more showtimes? Is it a creative decision? I don't think a 10 minute intermission would make that big of a difference in showtimes and might draw more people to see it knowing that's there. What are your thoughts? Do you want an intermission? Do you think it would make a difference for the majority of people?At The Water Cooler:What we’ve been Doing: Chris went on a haunted hayride.  What we’ve been Reading:What we’ve been Watching:Ben watched Lost Horizon, Mister Organ, The Equalizer 3, Dumb Money, and the rest of the Wes Anderson shorts on Netflix. Chris watched Last Stop Larrimah: Murder Down Under and Halloween Kills. What we’ve been Eating:What we’ve been Playing:All the other stuff you need to know:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

I was a projectionist back then, the term is open matte. The cheap films had me permanently stationed at the projector, as they weren’t printed with even an open frame lock!” Charles from Virginia: “I just finished listening to your podcast from Friday May 12 and I heard you talk about seeing a boom mic in Young Guns 2 and feeling like it was an error made by the filmmakers.  I had this same experience with M. Night Shyamalan's The Village in 2004! For nearly 20 years I thought I had seen some early cut of that film that was just poorly edited! I was losing my mind and nobody I talked to knew what I was talking about. Now today for the first time I'm learning that this was likely a very isolated incident caused by some poor underpaid projectionist at my local single screen theater.  Thank you so much for sharing that story and reminding me of this experience I had so long ago. I feel like I finally have some closure.”In The News:Ryan: Box OfficeGuardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Achieves Marvel's Best Second Weekend Box Office Hold In YearsGuardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Has Already Passed Ant-Man 3 At The Global Box OfficeGuardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Blasts Past $500 Million Worldwide In 10 DaysRobert Rodriguez’s Hypnotic Is Instantly One Of The Biggest Box Office Bombs Of 2023Rise of the Beasts trackingMid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”James Gunn's Superman: Legacy Eyes David Corenswet For The Cape And Tights (corin-swet)Ryan: Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Is 'Not Tied Into The MCU' Despite That No Way Home ReferenceVin Diesel Teases A Fast X Trilogy, Or He's Just Saying Stuff AgainAll the other stuff you need to know:This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

On the May 10, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film writer Ryan Scott to discuss the latest film and tv news, including Beetlejuice 2, Writers Strike, and the future of Star WarsIn The News:Writers Strike and Showrunners:Andor Showrunner Tony Gilroy Pauses All Work Amid WGA Strike, Lucasfilm Yet To CommentHBO Suspends The Wire Creator David Simon's Deal After 25 YearsBeetlejuice 2 gets a release dateMid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”Why Rian Johnson And Taika Waititi's Star Wars Movies Are Taking So Long, According To Kathleen KennedyKevin Feige's Star Wars Movie Could've Involved The Russo BrothersDave Filoni Sees Thrawn As The 'Big Bad' Of Star Wars' New Republic Era“The way I look at it, there are [small] stories, and then there’s the big story of the day, too. A New Hope, Empire and Return Of The Jedi tell the important parts of the tale that really define the history of the period. There are all kinds of sub-stories underneath that. We’ve been building all these small stories. To me, a theatrical experience has to have a big idea — a monumental moment in the time period that changes what’s happening. What Tony [Gilroy] has done [in Andor] and what we did in Rebels, everything then changes when Luke blows up the Death Star. You’re looking for those moments that define an era, and that’s what the films really should be about — whether it’s characters coming together, or a defining moment. There are little things along the way that I’ve built across different mediums, all in preparation for things that come later.”When asked if Thrawn is the "big bad of this New Republic era," Filoni answered without hesitation, "Definitely, in my eyes." He added:   "Thrawn became this very iconic villain, because he was different than anything we'd seen before. He wasn't another helmet-wearing, lightsaber-wielding bad guy."All the other stuff you need to know:This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

On the April 12, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film Editorial Director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young for a spoiler-filled conversation about The Mandalorian Chapter 23 “The Spies”.In The Spoiler Room: The Mandalorian Chapter 23 “The Spies”FeedbackHeather Fox writes “I like the theory that Grogu could join Rey in teaching the new Jedi order, but I think they are setting Grogu up to be the future Mandalore. Here are some of the reasons I believe this: 1. He would be the second leader since Tarre Vizsla to be a Mandelorian/ Jedi. 2. We have seen him calm large creatures, he will likely be able to ride a mythosaur. 3. He would be able to rule Mandalore for centuries! 4. We have always assumed that the title of the show is was about Djin, but what if it is really about the origins of the greatest ruler of Mandalore?”Matthew: “In the most recent discussion about the latest episode of the Mandalorian, you guys picked up on the Alice In Wonderland influences, but missed or didn’t bring up the heavy Isaac Asimov influence. I felt that the episode felt like a love letter to Isaac Asimov's old noire detective robot series. … In that series, humans have reached other planets and have gotten robots to do all the labor, freeing people's time. People live inside large dome structures connected by tunnels so that people rarely go outside. The series has 2 detectives, with the lead detective being very distrustful of robots, but over several stories turns around to trust them, just like Din’s current arc. The stories start with 2 detectives getting called in because of malfunctioning robots, often murder and while the robots are initially the lead suspects, it's always a human who is behind the crime, having found some way to bypass Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics. I really loved Asimov’s novels growing up and so I absolutely loved this episode as it felt like the closest thing to seeing one of these novels adapted for tv.”Spencer: “If the Dark Saber goes to whoever defeats the owner, then it belongs to Luke:  In CLone Wars Maul defeated Vizsla, later Ahsoka defeated Maul. In Rebels Ahsoka is defeated by Darth Vader. And finally Luke beats Vader in Return.   However if it's while they’re wielding it then it would belong to Darth Maul, because Sabine just found it.”Nathan: “My biggest beef with the sequel trilogy was that the state of the galaxy at the end of Rise of Skywalker was the exact same as at the end of Return of the Jedi with the only difference is that NOW our favorite characters are all dead. I'm really glad that the upcoming Rey movie will deal with the reestablishment of the Jedi Order as I felt that should have been the overall focus of the sequels from the start. I also REALLY hope that John Boyega signs on in some capacity as well.  One more thing: the villains in Ahsoka have orange lightsabers! Do you know if that's ever been a thing before, or is this new?”Brief reactionsBradBryanPeterMid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”BreakdownThe Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 7 Takes Us To A Dark Place And Is Exactly What The Show NeededWhat Is The Mandalorian's Mysterious 'Project Necromancer'?

On the March 29, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young get together for a spoiler-filled conversation about The Mandalorian Chapter 21, “The Pirate”FeedbackManuel: One thing that always bothered me with Star wars, movie and tv shows alike, planets seems to always be one city basically. In the case of nevarro, about 30 people. But fans never seem to be bothered by this?  Cade in Iowa and Aaron Leicestershire, UK had the same thought, im gonna read Aaron’s email:Big fan of the spoiler discussions. I listen to every one of them, much to my children's chagrin..  I just had a thought with regards to Grogu's escape from Coruscant. Bryan wrote up a great theory about Jar Jar Binks. I love this theory. … However, I did have another thought. A key part of Bryan's theory was that Jar Jar and Padme are the only 2 people that we've come across from Naboo with the means to help in this way and that were on Coruscant at the time. Padme was discounted for some very good reasons but.. there is another..  Could Sheev Palpatine, former Naboo senator, be behind this "escape"? It's feasible to me that most of the Jedi would not yet be aware of Palpatine's betrayal or that he was behind Order 66. It's conceivable then that Kelleran Beq might have reached out to him for help and, seeing an opportunity to ensnare this Jedi, Palpatine offers him a ship. Will we see in the next flash back we get that Beq has been betrayed by the person he thought was helping him?  This would also put Grogu in the Empire's hands very early on which would explain how, when we meet him in the first episode of The Mandalorian, the Empire are aware of his existence and are actively hunting him and how he is able to be tracked with a tracking fob. It would stand to reason that the Empire had possession of him before he was either stolen or escaped hence why they enlisted Din to get him back. Brief reactionsBradBryanPeterMid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”BreakdownBryan’s Review: The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 5 Goes Full PirateThe Mandalorian Talking Hammer Proves The Greatest Weapon Of All ...

The code needs to be entered on the device that requested it within 15 minutes. If the code expired, you will need to request a new verification code from the device. Once successful, that device can be used to watch Netflix. Device verification may be required periodically.Is it a mistake not to offer a tier for an extended family?Peter (og Valerie): Showtime Has A Stupid New Name, And They've Canceled A Handful Of Shows Too"Paramount+ with Showtime"Thoughts on the new name?the merger will likely result in layoffs and programming shake-upsthree Showtime series — "Let The Right One In," "Three Women," and "American Gigolo" — have already been canceled with the showrunners shopping around for new homes.The memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter comes via Paramount CEO Bob Bakish: "This new combined offering demonstrates how we can leverage our entire collection of content to drive deeper connections with consumers and greater value for our distribution partners.”The "full integration" of Showtime and Paramount+ will take place later this year, and will also impact the premium tier of Paramount+, which will share the new title along with Showtime programming options.Chris McCarthy, President and CEO of Showtime and Paramount Media Networks, writes in another memo that the company will stop investing in projects that "are underperforming and that account for less than 10% of our views.Seems to me like streaming will have to be alot more data basedAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS). And please subscribe to our newsletter!Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

Perhaps these choices are great, perhaps not, but they are made with sincere hearts & integrity & always with the story in mind.No one loves to be harassed or called names – but, to be frank, we’ve been through significantly worse. Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions.We were aware there would be a period of turbulence when we took this gig, & we knew we would sometimes have to make difficult & not-so-obvious choices, especially in the wake of the fractious nature of what came before us.But this means little to us in comparison to our jobs as artists & custodians in helping to create a wide & wonderful future for DC.Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”(og Ben): The DCU Will Face Less Studio Interference Than The Snyderverse Did, According To James Gunn"The position is different than it was with Zack [Snyder], etc. Peter [Safran] & I are the heads of DC Studios.

On the December 9, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Ben Pearson to discuss the latest film and tv news, including big shakeups at DC Movies and an Election sequel. In The News: (og Erin) Reese Witherspoon To Return For Election Sequel Tracy Flick Can’t Win At Paramount + (og Vespe): Jason Momoa Could Be Lobo And Other Big Changes Coming To The New DC UniverseGunn’s tweets Gunn and Safran supposedly want a completely fresh slate, which means a final curtain call on the Zack Snyder era of DC. The upcoming "Flashpoint" film is allegedly the last time we'll see the Zack Snyder version of your favorite heroes in cameo form Wonder Woman 3 Will Not Be Moving ForwardPatty Jenkins' Departure From Wonder Woman 3 Sounds Rather ThornyThe Wrap alleges that Wonder Woman 3 was not a direct cancelation by the studio but that director and co-writer Patty Jenkins declined to rewrite her treatment, effectively walking off the project. According to their sources, the treatment for Wonder Woman 3 was given not only to DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran but Warner Bros. executives Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. While all four figures believed the treatment needed edits, Gunn and Safran were apparently not involved in the final decision whatsoever — De Luca, Abdy, and Jenkins reportedly had a heated discussion about the treatment, with the latter standing firm on her vision for the character, and the trio unable to compromise,  The insider source told the trade that Jenkins "doesn't want to allow" Gunn or Safran "a seat at the table," while also claiming that Jenkins believed that De Luca and Abdy "didn't understand her" or Wonder Woman. I’m skeptical. Of course, Jenkins supposedly walked off Thor 2 and Rogue Squadron due to creative disagreements. So the film might not be canceled after all but Patty Jenkins won’t be making the movie. Henry Cavill is not likely to return for his own "Superman" movieAppearance in Black Adam, announcing Superman is back and Cavill leaving Witcher after season 3 Black Adam is not getting any sequelsweird box office stories Jason Momoa's Aquaman will have his last big screen hoorah in the upcoming sequel "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." Shocker? Momoa could star in a Lobo movieEric Vespe describes Lobo as a galactic bounty hunter who looks like Rob Zombie got melded with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the entire band KISS in full makeup and costume. He's a hardcore, kind of punk anti-hero, and Momoa is just about the most perfect actor to play that part. Thoughts on Momoa in a Lobo movie Matt Reeves  "Batman" films and the Joker sequel seem to still be in the works   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  And please subscribe to our newsletter!

Opening Banter: We are transferring our podcast over to a new host so if there is any wonkiness, we apologize in advance! In The Mailbag: Gert from The Netherlands writes in “When it comes to the future of the Indiana Jones franchise, deep faking Harrison Ford for a feature length movie could be done - but shouldn’t be done. That being said I doubt Ford would ‘sell’ his likeness to be used for all of eternity ;)  I always thought a series following a young group of archeological students (taught by Jones) on many adventures - could work. Throw in a few ‘legacy’ characters like Mutt or Short Round to tie everything together.  The show would simply be called: RAIDERS. It borrows from the original title of the first film and should be recognizable enough using the right font.” Robert V writes in “On Friday’s podcast you mentioned that you think that Indiana Jones might die in the new movie. Rest assured he will not die. On the show ‘The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles’ there was a scene that featured an Indiana Jones in his 90s. Unless Disney had decided that the show isn’t canon anymore, it should still be true.” In The News: Avatar: The Way Of Water Early Buzz: James Cameron Does It Again In Visually Stunning And Emotional Return To PandoraAre you surprised?

I just wanted to add that I think this shows just how high in the ranks Yularen is. He's not just another Imperial dressing everyone down. He's delivering a message directly from the Emperor himself, which is an incredibly rare event and therefore taken very seriously.” Russ in Indianapolis: “I haven't really seen or heard anyone discussing this, so I was curious: Do you think it's possible that Dedra Meero is Cassian's lost sister? We know little about her background, but it doesn't seem unlikely that the Empire found the children and put them to work.

On the October 14, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman to have a spoiler-filled discussion about She-Hulk Episode 9 “Whose Show Is This?” Opening Banter:  In The Spoiler Room: She-Hulk Episode 9 “Whose Show Is This?” FeedbackNathan from Canada writes in: “The moment Matt Murdoch says, “I’m Daredevil” you can actually hear the Netflix  daredevil theme playing in the background. Could that little Daredevil theme subtly imply that these 2 universes are one? Also You said that the only way to get Hulk blood from She-Hulk is in her She-Hulk form. Not to play the “umm… actually” card, but didn’t Jennifer Walters get her She-Hulk powers from Bruce’s blood? Even while in regular human form? I think having an extra strong vibranium syringe, just makes it easier to get her blood regardless her form, since it’s probably more difficult to sneak attack a Hulk with a normal syringe. We saw how that end in that “street fight”. Brief reactions Breakdown  Speculation Matthew writes in “The MCU version of Skaar is obviously very different from the Marvel Comics version, in which a very angry Skaar travels to Earth in an attempt to kill the Hulk. We only see Skaar in She-Hulk for a few seconds but it seems clear that he is very different from the comics. He isn't full of rage but instead comes across as very shy. I think this lines up with my theory of Skaar joining the Young Avengers and replacing the character Hulkling. Now the big question is when will the Young Avengers appear? I have no idea if they plan to make a tv show or movie with the Young Avengers but I think it's going to happen before the end of the Multiverse Saga. As I think now all the Young Avengers characters have been introduced and one of the more prominent story arcs with the Young Avengers is with Kang the Conqueror. Now one of the big differences between Hulking and Skaar as characters is that Hulkling is gay and eventually gets married to Wiccan, one of Wanda's sons who is also a Young Avenger. Will Marvel Studios make Skaar gay or is using his character instead of Hulkling a way of Disney side stepping that issue so that the Young Avengers tv series or movie can be carried large markets like China? I do think using Skaar streamlines the convoluted storyline that is Hulkling's origin and that's a good thing but I've come to realize there might be business reasons why Marvel Studios is doing this which would be unfortunate for LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU.   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

Who are these screenwriters? Will Seth Rogen be playing Figment? Peter has heard some rumblings!  What do you think? Peter (og BJ): Colin Trevorrow Strongly Hints At A Lot More Jurassic World Movies To ComeTrevorrow told Empire: "This movie clearly takes a real interest in creating new characters that a new generation is going to latch on to”. … "I never knew that this was the ending of the franchise until I saw the marketing. Those guys are brilliant at what they do, but for me I think it might have been clearer if they'd said, 'The end of an era', as opposed to all of it, because regardless of the cynical approach — of course they're gonna want to make more money, which is what 'Jurassic World' was about — a new dinosaur fan is born every day." “I specifically did something different than the other films in order to change the DNA of the franchise. The previous five films are plots about dinosaurs. This one is a story about characters in a world in which they coexist with dinosaurs. For the franchise to be able to move forward — because it’s inherently unfranchisable, there probably should have only been one ‘Jurassic Park’ – but if we’re gonna do it, how can I allow them to tell stories in a world in which dinosaurs exist, as opposed to, here’s another reason why we’re going to an island?” Do we really believe there will be more Jurassic World sequels? What would you like to see with the future of the Jurassic franchise? Erin: Marvel's Armor Wars TV Show Will Now Be A Movie Starring Don CheadleSame writer Actors didn't even know?

It appears to have meant to air at D23? Why do you think it was delayed? I like the Deadpool logo with the 3 wolverine claws What do you think of this? Does this make Wolverine MCU canon? How can Wolverine return? Didn't he die in Logan? Mention: Ben’s Every Way Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Could Return In Deadpool 3 Erin: Uncharted Director Ruben Fleischer Is Getting Tricky With Now You See Me 3Fleischer had previously worked with both Eisenberg and Harrelson on the Zombieland films. What did you think of the Now You See Me movies? Why Magic is hard to do in movies and tv. Regardless of our thoughts, the movies make money – almost $700 million worldwide to date… so why did it take so long to make a third one?

'Avatar' won the best cinematography with a 3D digital camera. No digital camera had ever won the best cinematography Oscar before. Then two out of the three subsequent years, the same cameras were used by the cinematographers that won the Oscar. So you got 3 out of 4 years where the Academy embraced digital cinematography. And all 3 of those films were in 3D." "3D appears to most people to sort of be 'over.' But it's really not over. It's just been accepted. It's just now a part of your choices when you go to the theater to see a big blockbuster movie ... I liken it to color. When color films first came out, it was a big deal. People would go to see movies because they were in color. I think around the time of 'Avatar,' people used to go to see movies because they were in 3D ... I think it had an impact on how films were presented that's now just sort of accepted and part of the zeitgeist and how it's done."   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

Now Six more upcoming animated projects have been canceled, including "Batman: Caped Crusader," the follow-up to "Batman: The Animated Series" from executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves. Were you excited about this one? Seems like a home run? Additional projects getting the shaft include "Merry Little Batman," "Did I Do That to the Holidays: A Steve Urkel Story," "The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie," and two different "Looney Tunes" films, "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" and "Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical."

On the August 25, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman to have a spoiler-filled discussion about She-Hulk Episode 2 “Superhuman Law” Opening Banter:    In The Spoiler Room: She-Hulk Episode 2 “Superhuman Law” FeedbackMatthew from Toronto, Canada writes in “You mentioned the possibility of bringing in Hulk's son. Since time runs differently on Sakaar, Hulk's son could already be an adult. As they showed in Thor: Ragnarok when Thor was behind Loki by just a few seconds but arrived several weeks after.  There are some theories online that the MCU might be trying to set up World War Hulk. However, I'm speculating something a bit different in that Marvel will use Hulk's son for the Young Avengers. As there's a character among the Young Avengers called Hulkling. In the comics, he isn't the son of Hulk but a Super Skrull who shapeshifts mainly as a teenage Hulk. In the comics he is also the son of the original Captain Mar-vell and a Skrull princess, the heir to the Skrull Empire. I don't think that would work with the changes made with Captain Mar-vell and the Skrulls in the Captain Marvel movie.  Making Hulkling the son of Hulk removes the convoluted backstory and means the MCU has one more character for some sort of Young Avengers project. Also it gives Hulk a new story arc that can be a sort of b plot in several Marvel Movies, rather than something as story heavy as World War Hulk which I think would require the Hulk to have his own movie.” Brief reactions Breakdown  Speculation    Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

In The News: Peter (og Valerie): Hawkeye Directors Are Making A Big Thunder Mountain Movie For Disney Rafael: Next Saw Film Set For Halloween 2023 Release In The Mailbag: Matt Y writes in “I have always wondered about this topic and thought that maybe Ryan could illuminate further.  How do monthly subscription programs like AMC Stubs A-list count toward box office numbers?   My understanding of MoviePass was that the company was actually buying the ticket at full price, but they were not affiliated with any specific theater chain. When I use my AMC membership to see a movie at AMC, are they paying themselves for each ticket?   Is someone seeing Spiderman: No Way Home three times a week under their membership counted the same as someone paying "out of pocket" and seeing it just as often? Is this another area of nebulous "Hollywood accounting"? I would just be curious to hear you and Ryan discuss this sometime.  Thanks for years of regular podcast content! -Matt” Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the June 22, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and /Film writer and Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler-filled discussion about Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6. Opening Banter:  In The Spoiler Room: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6 Feedback Chad from New Orleans writes in “the new cone-shaped droid from Kenobi episode 5 appears to be the winner of the "Build My Droid" contest that ran in 2019. Fans were able to submit their droid designs, and the winner would be used in a future project. Here is the official Star Wars website article with pictures of the winner. Just thought it was a cool bit of trivia that you guys might appreciate.” Greg, New Orleans: “During the climax of episode 5 when Reva is crawling on the ground and finds the communicator, she first finds her lightsaber. During the fight Vader broke her lightsaber in half, but now it appears to be whole. Did anyone else notice this mistake, or am I missing something?” Patrick D: “ So I just finished listening to your episode discussing this week’s episode of Kenobi. My question for you is about Vader and him finding out about Luke and Leia. I haven’t read any of the Doctor Aphra comics yet, but I did recently listen to the Doctor Aphra audiobook and thought it was fantastic. In this story, Aphra meets Vader for the first time after the destruction of the first Death Star. Vader uses Aphra to help him with different missions and investigations. The thing Vader becomes fixated on and asks Aphra to help with is finding out more info on Luke Skywalker. Vader, as well as Aphra, eventually figures out that Padme gave birth to a son before her death and that Luke is Vader’s son. If Vader doesn’t find out about Luke until after episode IV, then he can’t find out about the kids in next week’s episode.

This would have been during the Indian Pakistan partition. There were mass exodus from both Muslim population to what is now Pakistan and Hindu Population from that territory. Violence and horrific things happened to a lot of people during that period. In Episode 2, We know that her greatgrandma abandoned (so the family believes) her daughter to find her way to the train alone.” J.J. for Idaho  writes in “I have an idea about where Kamala’s grandmother’s bangle comes from. It reminded me of the ten rings from “Shang Chi.” Maybe they have the same source, or similar sources. If the bangle is Kree, maybe the ten rings are also Kree. It could be that the Kree scattered these artifacts and one ended up in Pakistan and one in China. Maybe there are more still to discover in Asia. “ Brief reactions Breakdown  Speculation    Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the June 15, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and /Film’s Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler-filled discussion about Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 5. In The Spoiler Room: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 5 FeedbackPeter from Melbourne writes in: “one thing that I have found it odd that the show hasn’t grappled with is that it appears that Leia has grown up in what looks like a pretty sheltered and safe life and then suddenly she is surrounded by murder and death… a storm trooper getting slice in half by a laser wall, lots of shooting and fighting and she doesn’t seem to be having any reaction to it at all… do you think this hasn’t been thought about or is the force protecting her? I guess it sets up her reaction to things in films where she seems to have a measured response to death.” Alex writes in :Given (1) the new theories that each episode parallels a film from the Skywalker Saga, and (2) the interview with Ian McDiarmid at Star Wars Celebration, where he discussed seeing Hayden and Ewan training with lightsabers… …do you think it’s possible that the Emperor will appear in either the 5th or, more likely, the 6th episode (given it’s probable connections to Return of the Jedi and its throne room sequence)?” Calvin from London, UK: “Just listening to the Slashfilm Kenobi spoiler special. You (quite rightly) week after week keep bringing up Kenobi’s relationship to Leia in ANH and pointed out in this episode Leia actually heard ‘Obi-Wan’. You brought this up with Brian who said he’d put a lot of thought into this and her message actually only ever used ‘General Kenobi’. As I’m sure you now have countless emails telling you that her message actually kicks off with one of THE most famous lines in movie history, ‘Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope’.” Reza suggested Memory rub as a solution?

On the June 8, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and /Film’s resident Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler-filled discussion about Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 4. Opening Banter: Brad is back!   In The Spoiler Room: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 4 FeedbackPat R writes in that “On the speculation that Reva was a padawan before her time with the  Empire, I believe I have more backup. It looks like Reva is the ONLY inquisitor that holsters her lightsaber on her waste while the others do on their back. Her saber is collapsed so the spinning function that the Grand Inquisitor uses to take out Flea, is not functional as well. I believe this is another sign that Reva was trained by the Jedi, she stuck out her fighting style with what she was taught before the Inquisitorius Program.” A lot of discussion online has been about the moment when the mole looking alien named Freck (voiced by Zach Braff) offered Ben and Leia a ride and they see the imperial symbol on the back of his truck. Darth Vader’s voice? In an interview with Vanity Fair, Joby Harold was directly asked if the events in episode 2 had broken canon, including the fact that Grand Inquisitor does die in Rebels –but in a completely different way. "As you know, we would never break canon," the screenwriter responded. So that's all I'll say. Canon is everything."

Peter (og Jeremy): Pixar Maestro Andrew Stanton Wrote An Episode Of Obi-Wan Kenobi  Peter (og Danielle): Bruce Willis Is Retiring From Acting Following Aphasia Diagnosis  uh · fay · zhee · uh LA Times ArticleIn interviews with The Times this month, nearly two dozen people who were on set with the actor expressed concern about Willis’ well-being. These individuals questioned whether the actor was fully aware of his surroundings on set, where he was often paid $2 million for two days of work.  Filmmakers described heart-wrenching scenes as the beloved “Pulp Fiction” star grappled with his loss of mental acuity and an inability to remember his dialogue. An actor who traveled with Willis would feed the star his lines through an earpiece, known in the industry as an “earwig,” according to several sources. Most action scenes, particularly those that involved choreographed gunfire, were filmed using a body double as a substitute for Willis. He appeared in 22 movies over the last 4 years Mike Burnes, director of Out Of Death, was tasked with compressing all of Willis’ scenes — about 25 pages of dialogue — into one day of filming assistant-turned-handler Stephen J.

On the March 14, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Ryan Scott to talk about the latest film and tv news, including Shazam 2, the Bob Chapek fiasco, Deadpool 3, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer. Opening Banter: Peter is back! I have been to the Galactic Starcruiser, more on that next week!   In The News: Ryan: Shazam 2 Will Now Open Against Avatar 2, And That Is A Very Bad IdeaIs it a bad or brilliant idea? Peter: The Bob Chapek Fiasco:On February 25, the Florida House of Representatives passed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would ban lessons about sexual orientation. Critics of the bill have claimed that it is created to stigmatize marginalized students and lead to bullying and attacks. People like President Biden and former Disney head Bob Iger came out against the bill publicly.  Eyes were on Disney, as the company has such a large foothold in Florida Disney has been taking heat for declining to release a statement about the bill and for donating money (about $200,000) to statewide elected officials who supported the bill.  Chapek told castmemebers that he didn't release a statement on the bill because "they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame."  “I want to be crystal clear: I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities. And, we are committed to creating a more inclusive company — and world,” Chapek wrote in a memo to staff. “We all share the same goal of a more tolerant, respectful world. Where we may differ is in the tactics to get there. And because this struggle is much bigger than any one bill in any one state, I believe the best way for our company to bring about lasting change is through the inspiring content we produce, the welcoming culture we create, and the diverse community organizations we support.” Rafael: Disney Censors 'Overtly Gay Affection' In Movies, According To Pixar EmployeesA public letter from “the LGBTQIA+ employees of Pixar, and their allies" went viral. "We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were," the letter says. "Nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney's behest, regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar." Witney: Disney CEO Bob Chapek Gives Weak Apology To Employees For His Silence On Florida Anti-Gay BillLate last week, Bob Chapek issued a public apology to the LGBTQIA+ employees working for Disney, and announced a halt to any and all political donations the company would make in the state of Florida.    Not going to read his whole statement but I think its fair to say this is being seen as too late and too little. What does Chapek need to do here?  Ryan: Deadpool 3 Finds Its Director In Free Guy Helmer Shawn LevyIs Shawn Levy a good fit?

On the March 3, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by no one to talk about the latest film and TV news, including the Netflix Marvel shows coming to Disney+, variable movie pricing, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki comments, Ariana DeBose in Kraven the Hunter, and more. [embed=​​] Opening Banter:    In The News: The Marvel Netflix Series Are Coming To Disney+ In March, Along With New Parental ControlsDefenders Assemble? Here's What The Marvel-Netflix Shows Joining Disney+ Could Mean For The MCU Here's Why You'll Pay More To See The Batman In Some TheatersSteven Spielberg And George Lucas Predicted Variable Movie Ticket Prices In 2013 One Of The Batman Spin-Off Series Will Connect To Arkham Asylum Tom Hiddleston Says He's Merely 'A Temporary Torchbearer' Of The Loki Role Kraven The Hunter: West Side Story Actress Ariana DeBose Dances Her Way Into Sony's Spider-Man Universe   West Side Story email   Dear fellow listeners,   I hope everyone gets the chance to watch Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, streaming today on Disney and HBO Max.   I grew up in Stephen Sondheim’s town, revering his lyrics and scores from a young age. I sat a row behind Steven Spielberg at Hamilton on Broadway as he was scouting future talent. I’ll never forget Leonard Bernstein’s score for On The Town booming through the Lyric Theatre.   Watching this adaptation be filmed in the summer of 2019 over social media made me so proud of all of the hard-working Broadway dancers like Jess LeProtto, Yurel Echezaretta, Kyle Coffman, Ricky Ubeda, Paloma Garcia-Lee, Eloise Kropp and more. They’ve known this Jerome Robbins choreography for years, and I was so overjoyed to see them re-interpret it on celluloid under the new choreography by Justin Peck.    This movie is made with reverence for musical theatre and movie musicals before it. Tony Winner David Alvarez and Tony Nominee/Oscar Nominee Ariana DeBose bring so much star power to the screen that make me so proud of all these Broadway professionals who made this gorgeous tapestry.   Paul Tazewell’s technicolor costume designs, with petticoats of spandex and LaDuca dance shoes, stretch and flow with every swish of these dancers’ character choices. Even the diegetic “Somewhere” musical notes in the subway scene and the Gwen Verdon-looking character in the jail are carefully-placed.   I wish everyone the joy and explosion of color and emotions of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story.  -- Best, Andrew Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the February 11, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Ryan Scott to discuss the latest film and tv news, including Batman box office tracking, Oscars relevancy, the return of MoviePass and Jurassic World Dominion. Opening Banter: It’s the Weekend!! In The News: Ryan: The Batman Box Office Is Tracking For An $80 Million-Plus Opening WeekendMention: You Can Get Bat-Tickets For The Batman Right Now On The Bat-Web Mention: New The Batman Trailer Is Full Of New Bat-Footage  Is $80 million low for Batman? Lets look at some comps Peter (og Shania): Seth Rogen Doesn't Understand Why Anyone Cares About The Oscars"I don't get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves. To me, maybe people just don't care. I don't care who wins the automobile awards. No other industry expects everyone to care about what awards they shower upon themselves. Maybe people just don't care. Maybe they did for a while and they stopped caring. And why should they?" Does he have a point? Why are less people caring now vs. before? Ryan (og Lex): MoviePass, Your Favorite Unsustainable Movie Company, Is Relaunching This SummerThe new program will work on a credits system that would allow users to use credits to purchase movie tickets for both themselves and a guest. Those credits will roll over month to month if they don't get used. "People didn't see MoviePass as a discount, they saw it as a discovery tool," ceo Stacey Spikes said at the press conference, implying that MoviePass was seen as a curator of film charcuterie instead of what it really was: a purveyor of dirt-cheap movie access. Additionally, Spikes introduced an initiative for users where you can watch ads to earn free credits to use toward movie tickets. Your phone camera will literally track your eyeballs to make sure you watch the complete ad — and if you look away, the ad will pause. "What it does is it basically creates a transaction between you and the brand," Spikes explained.  Will this work?

On the February 9, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler-filled discussion about The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 7 “In The Name of Honor”.   In The News:  Obi-Wan Kenobi Premiere Date Set For May On Disney+   In The Spoiler Room:  The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 7 “In The Name of Honor” FeedbackDanielle: Why Luke Skywalker's Voice Sounds So Weird In The Book Of Boba Fett The Wookieepedia article since been renamed "Unidentified crest". I guess leaving the door open that perhaps it's an organization that Barriss Offee belonged to but not her own personal crest. Is it Ajan Kloss | StarWars.com Nate from Grand Rapids, Michigan: “Do you think Mayor Mok Shaiz’s name is an homage to the old McDonalds mascot “Mayor McCheese”? Their mouth’s are also kind of similar.” Matthew f writes in: “On the podcast you asked why Ahsoka went to see Luke. I’m speculating that it’s the hunt for Thrawn that led Ahsoka there. I think Ahsoka has figured out that Gideon is working for Thrawn and has heard that Gideon is now being held by the New Republic. Through this she finds out about Gideon capturing and holding onto Grogu. So she seeks out Grogu to “talk” (however she communicates with him) about his time on Gideon's light cruiser to help put together pieces about Thrawn. Thrawn’s involvement with cloning is hinted at the end of the Bad Batch. As the Bad Batch ends with the Empire packing up and moving all the cloning equipment and scientists from Kamino to a large base inside a mountain. The mountain base was later confirmed by StarWars.com as Mount Tantiss, which is from Timothy Zahn’s original Thrawn Trilogy where Thrawn was conducting cloning experiments. I think Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are taking elements from Zahn’s story and tying it together with Grogu. I’m hoping that we find out more about Ahsoka’s visit to Luke in her own show.“ Gave T writes in “Grogu is a descendant of Yoda! Why would 3 Jedi’s be standing to protect him, when all the other young Padawan’s be left alone in a room. Only to be found by Vader. Grogu is farther along than we all think. … I think Grogu is going to be a huge part of the future of Star Wars.” Tony writes in “Love the podcast. The last two episodes being Mando episodes was such a CREATIVE way to SURPRISE a always speculating Star Wars fanbase! I'm really surprised at the reaction online as if this was some kind of strange error.  "Does not compute."  Brain bursting completely subversive storytelling!  I can imagine the creators being so excited to: stupefy the AUDIENCE.

On the January 25, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Ryan Scott to discuss the latest film and tv news, including new Star Wars video games, a film studio in space, A Christmas Story sequel and Star Wars nerdiness.  In The News: Ryan: Three New Star Wars Games Announced, Including Jedi: Fallen Order SequelWhat are these games? Who’s involved? Peter (og Jeremy): A New Film Studio Is Being Built In Actual SpaceSpace Entertainment Enterprise, the UK company co-producing that ambitious Tom Cruise movie scheduled to head to space and film on the International Space Station (ISS), has announced their plans for a brand-new, wholly unprecedented film and television studio that will operate in lower Earth orbit. Called SEE-1, this orbital studio would somehow be able to host film productions, television, music, and even sporting events(!), all while doubling as the one-stop shop for "the development, production, recording, broadcasting and live-streaming of content" ... in spaaaaace! [they] are planning to accomplish this feat by attaching their production module to the Axiom Station, a proposed space station that will essentially be the private sector's spin on the International Space Station. In fact, the new space station will actually be built as an extension of the ISS before splitting off and functioning as its own orbital platform … these grand plans won't come to fruition until December of 2024, at the earliest.  What kind of movies really need to shoot in space? Ryan (og Sandy): A Creative Disagreement Saved A Major Star Wars Planet From DestructionAccording to a since-deleted tweet posted by Lucasfilm executive Pablo Hidalgo, "The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams had intended for the First Order to destroy Coruscant in the film, but he was overruled and came up with the idea of Hosnian Prime being targeted by Starkiller Base instead. "Basically [J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot] wanted it blown up; [Lucasfilm Ltd.] didn't. Hosnian Prime was the unsatisfying middle ground. It happens," Hidalgo explained, later adding, "(I should say 'some folks at' because it's not like companies have points of view)."  He later clarified that it was because the planet was needed in other projects in development. What could those be? Peter (og Jenna): A Christmas Story Is Getting A Sequel With Peter Billingsley Returning As RalphieThis film will be called "A Christmas Story Christmas, Peter Billingsley will return to play Ralphie and produce.  Directed by Clay Kaytis ("The Christmas Chronicles," "The Angry Birds Movie") Script by Nick Schenk ("Gran Torino," "The Mule"). An adult Ralphie heads back to the house he shared with his family on Cleveland Street, "to deliver his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had growing up,” whil allowing him to "reconnect with childhood friends, reconcile the passing of his Old Man," and will include "callbacks to the initial film."  The original film was based on Jean Shepherd's book "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash."  He narrated the film as the adult Ralphie. Sadly, he passed away in 1999. There have been a couple sequels already:1994: "My Summer Story," which takes place in the summer after the events of "A Christmas Story," and was directed by Bob Clark. Jean Shepherd narrated that one, as well, with Charles Grodin playing the Old Man, Mary Steenburgen playing Mrs. Parker, and Kieran Culkin as Ralphie. 2012: “A Christmas Story 2”: billed as an "official sequel”.. Directed by Brian Levant (Beethoven, The Flintstones, Jingle All The Way) and Daniel Stern plays the old man. Ralphie is now fifteen years old, and all he wants is a used 1939 Mercury Eight convertible for Christmas. Love for A Christmas Story? Can a sequel be good without Jean Shephard?    Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the January 12, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler-filled discussion about The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 3 “The Streets of Mos Espa”. In The Spoiler Room: The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 3 “The Streets of Mos Espa” FeedbackMatthew F wrote in: Last episode the question was asked why it took so long for Hutts to get involved again with Tatooine after the death of Jabba. In the Star Wars comics there has recently been a crossover event called "War of the Bounty Hunters". This takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and in this story, Darth Vader kills all of the Grand Hutt Council except for Jaba. … I imagine it took some time for the Hutt family to sort itself out from this huge power vacuum and that there was likely some jockeying for position among the Hutts. Perhaps, Bib Fortuna was working for the Twins or wasn't working with the Hutts but considered too low priority compared to getting other things sorted out. Matt also speculated that something bad would happen to the tuskens in this weeks episode and boy was he right but also that he thinks the “Tuskens will be eventually seen in the "present day" part of the episode. To use a Dune reference, I think the Tuskens will be Boba's "desert power".” James h writes in to point out that Before they changed the setting of the train heist in Solo: a Star Wars story to Vandor, it took place in some kind of desert and the concept art in the art of book looks almost exactly like what we saw in last weeks episode.

On the January 5, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young to have a spoiler discussion about The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 “The Tribes of Tatooine”. In The Spoiler Room: The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 “The Tribes of Tatooine” FeedbackThe robot dogs. Sam Witwer voiced the Rodian prisoner. Jabbas palace shot was repurposed: The shot of the hallway 37 seconds into Chapter 1 is a zoomed still frame of Luke's entrance into Jabba's Palace with smoke added and a pan across the frame. Nathan C writes in: “Remember in chapter 9 of Mandalorian when Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) had drunk that coconut looking thing? I think it’s that. I know that Cobb Vanth made it look disgusting whereas Boba Fett drank it like normal water. Boba is also desperate for water.” Baz McAlister pointed out: Out of the top-billed cast of five in that first ep, the youngest  is 47 (Matt Berry). The rest are late 50s/early 60s. And two non-American born POC. Alexandria from California: So in the scene in the street when Boba and Fennec are surrounded by the people with shields, Boba and Fennec are getting pretty heavily beat up until the Gamorrean Guards show up. I kept wondering during the scene why Boba wouldn’t use his jet pack to get out of the ring of shields. Do you think there is a reason for this?” DR-MR How did Bib Fortuna and Max Rebo escape the destruction of Jabba’s barge? Pablo Hidalgo explains “There’s always been a certain amount of time between when first deck gun blast and the final explosion otherwise the good guys wouldn’t have escaped either. In the ‘90s EU books there are plenty of survivors, including Max Rebo, Bossk and Bib Fortuna, so it’s not a new idea. I figured the second those shutters close on Jabba’s lounge and everyone runs away screaming (leaving Leia alone to strangle him), all those folks were running *somewhere*… Whiphids and children first.” Jakob, Anders and David from Sweden: Regarding the theme song. Ludwig Göransson seems to be heavily inspired by this song “The Mattis and Borka song” from the 1984 swedish children's fantasy movie “Ronia, the Robber's Daughter”.  Growing up in Sweden in the 80s he most definitely saw this, but I wonder if he acquired the rights for it, or if he just copied it. Slashfilm wrote an article about this. Chris: Would have been cool if the storm trooper in the Sarlacc pit was a Clone Trooper, half devoured after decades, but still alive. Boba takes the Clone’s helmet off to get access to his gear, looks into his eyes and finishes him off as a mercy kill. Some people have complained about Jango’s helmet clearly being empty, well, actor Daniel Logan pointed out on twitter that you can actually see the shadow of the decapitated head in the movie flying away from the helmet.  Joseph Scrimshaw from Force Center points out that the three main Tusken Raiders in chapter one are the young boy, the warrior, the leader, two roles Boba Fett has played in his life and critically a role he wants to have in the future. The leader sips the water, which is everything on this planet, it’s life and the economy, it’s a power for the leader to take or give.  Does The Boba Fett Show Have A Boba Fett Problem?I absolutely love that Boba Fett isn't coming into his new role as crime boss just slaughtering everybody left and right, but I'm kind of perplexed as to why he was portrayed as being so kind-hearted in these post-"Return of the Jedi" flashbacks. Even Mando has to go from ruthless bounty hunter only interested in upgrading his armor to big-hearted adopted daddy to Baby Yoda. That's a significant arc. What is Boba Fett's arc going to be? He goes from guy who doesn't want to fight to ... guy who doesn't want to fight?   The only thing I can see happening that gives Fett any kind of growth at all is a darker path than I expect to see from a Disney+ "Star Wars" show. It feels like the only way the character changes at all is if he gets more ruthless, not more kind. That's the Michael Corleone from "The Godfather" route or Walter White from "Breaking Bad" path. Would Disney go that far? I doubt it, but who knows?

On the January 3, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Ryan Scott to talk about Spider-Man: No Way Home, including how the film is destroying box office records and some spoiler reveals from the screenwriters. Opening Banter: Happy New Year! In The News: Ryan: Spider-Man: No Way Home Swings Past Black Panther At The Box OfficeTop 10 movies of all time: Spider-Man: No Way Home Set To Become One Of The Top 10 Highest-Grossing Movies This Weekend Worldwide victory over Black Panther now guaranteed to pass $1.5 billion, but will it cross $2 billion? Will it overtake infinity war? What about everything else? Spoiler warning for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Peter (og Jeremy): Venom Was Nearly In Spider-Man: No Way Home's Final BattleIn an interview with Variety, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers spilled the details on how, at one point in the process, Hardy's Venom could've played a much more active role in the story — possibly even appearing during the final battle. The pair admit that they "definitely discussed" this possibility, though obviously the creative team didn't pursue this any further.  Are we happy that Venom didnt have a larger role? Will we ever see him and hollands spiderman face off? Ryan (og Ben S): Spider-Man: No Way Home Almost Had Another Marvel Character Bring In The Film's Special Guestsscreenwriters Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna revealed that initially another character was meant to bring the other Spider-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "They are brought by a Marvel character going, 'Here are the saving graces and they're going to help you through this,'" says McKenna. "It was just more of a deus ex machina."  Who was the character? This change came late in the game of production. The crew was already two months into filming when Sommers and McKenna had to take another stab at the third act. Since this was the most crucial moment in the whole movie, they were afraid that they were going to mess it up. Doctor Strange Norman Osborn might've found them around the city when he was cruising around on his Green Goblin glider. Eddie Brock, AKA Venom.   Wong. The new Sorcerer Supreme  Peter (og Valarie): Spider-Man: No Way Home Writers Address The Logistics Of Doctor Strange's Final SpellIn an interview with Variety, the film's co-writers, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers,said "Obviously, some sort of magical redaction has occurred," "At the end of all this, we didn't want a lot of people trying to do magical math in their head," McKenna says, explaining that the donut shop scene should leave us thinking first and foremost about the sacrifice Peter made for his friends. "If people have questions about some of those details that didn't get answered here, we'll answer them hopefully in another movie somewhere down the line," For now, the writer wanted to "just focus on the emotion of it." So how do you think this spell ultimately works? Ryan (og Jeremy): Spider-Man: No Way Home Writers Considered Credits Scenes With [REDACTED]McKenna says about possibly bringing back the previous versions of Spider-Man for future appearances down the line: "I would hope so! I would love to see more of their journey. We even talked about, 'Oh, we could do a [post-credits] tag with this one! We could do a tag with that one!'"

On the December 1, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by senior writer Brad Oman to have a spoiler-filled discussion about the third episode of “Hawkeye.”   Opening Banter:  In The Spoiler Room: Hawkeye Episode 3 “Echoes” FeedbackManuel writes: Just watched the third episode. I think production on that episode was really good, unlike episode 2. But don't you think the story develops very slowly? It's a 6 episode show, we are already halfway through. I'm worried it will be like every other Marvel show, the main villain of season 1 will be a low level character and the end will tease something bigger to come. Thank you for the great podcast and looking forward to your thoughts on episode 3! Brief reactions  BreakdownOpens in 2007 with young Maya in a classroomFills out the answers in her workbook, one of which says, “I run as fast as a dragon.” First mention of “dragon” in this episode, which is repeated a number of times throughout. Maya and her dad at home (shadow puppets on the wall looks like it could be a dragon eating some kind of winged creature). “What sound does a dragon make? Are dragons real?” “Maybe they are, but dragons live in a different world.” “What if they learned to come into our world?” “Well, that would make them stronger.” “You’ll have to learn to jump between two worlds.” Years later, Maya rolls up to a body shop to discover Ronin slashing his way through the place, and he kills her dad. (“Fly away from here, little dragon.”) Clint and Kate tied up in the warehouse Maya interrogates Clint, who tells her Ronin is dead Clint runs across the tops of shelves, loses hearing aid Car chase: communication issues, Kate murders people, acid arrows to drop the stoplights, Pym Tech arrow Clint compliments Kate’s ability, “we should walk the dog” Phone call with Clint’s son Maya and Kazi talk: Kazi says they’re supposed to be keeping a low profile, and it would be bad if “Uncle” found out that they were chasing the Ronin. Maya is pissed that he’s questioning her leadership, insisting Kazi wouldn’t be challenging her dad if he were in charge. Kazi says her dad always put the crew first. Kate tells Clint she’s dreamed of being a hero for as long as she can remember, and he says that lifestyle comes with sacrifices.  She draws him a new costume “I’m not a role model.” The guy at the top of the Tracksuit Mafia “will do anything to grow the operation.” Ronin “hit the supplier on the other side, and then hit Tracksuit upper management.” Break into Kate’s mom’s penthouse, Jack holds sword to Clint’s neck Speculation  Fat Man Auto Repair - guy in black suit squeezes young Maya’s cheek at karate practice. Is this Kingpin, or a misdirect? Is Kate’s mom the leader of the Tracksuit Mafia? What is Sloan Limited?   Also mentioned:  Who's Playing Maya's Uncle In Hawkeye?

As the first day of filming approached, several key actors hadn’t signed on yet. “Some people were trying to figure out whether they wanted to do it, and we needed all of them or none,” Holland says. The movie was reportedly going to be released after the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, but when that film was delayed by COVID, it was decided that No Way Home would go first, requiring changes to the plot. Even once filming was underway, the script was being rewritten on an almost daily basis. “You could ask the director, ‘What happens in act three?’ And his response would be, ‘I’m still trying to figure it out,’ ” Holland says. Anyway, the day finally came to shoot the big finale, “the crescendo scene, like, is this really f***ing happening? It’s crazy.” Only, it wasn’t working. “I kept stopping and being like, ‘I’m so sorry, I just don’t believe what I’m saying.’ ” The director, Jon Watts, took him aside, and Holland told him: It wasn’t me. The scene was wrong. “We sat down, we went through it, and we came up with a new idea,” Holland says. “Then we pitched it to the writers, they rewrote it, and it works great.”   Also mentioned:  Ryan: Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailer Just Confirmed The Return Of Some Familiar Spidey Villains Joshua: Is Spider-Man: No Way Home Setting The Stage For A Sinister Six Movie?   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the July 8, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by senior writer and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about the latest film and TV news, including The Tomorrow War 2 and a remake of Guys and Dolls. Then they open up the mailbag and answer some listener questions. Opening Banter:    In The News: (Chris) ‘The Tomorrow War 2’ in the Works at Amazon, Chris Pratt and Director Chris McKay Expected to Return (Chris) ‘Guys and Dolls’ Coming From Modern Musical Veteran Bill Condon   In The Mailbag:   Hey guys! On a recent episode you guys mentioned how great of a movie Iron Man 3 is despite the hate it gets from so many hardcore Marvel fans. Are there any other movies you guys can think of that get a lot of love from film fans for just being a good movie, but are despised by its fanboys for breaking the mold? The only other one I can think of is Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Which I felt was widely hated by dedicated Star Wars fans, but well regarded by cinephiles for just being a genuinely well crafted cinematic experience. Thanks, Mat from Wisconsin   Good morning, I'd be interested in knowing which films you had to be dragged to but then really enjoyed. For example, Back in the 90's everyone was telling me that I had to see 'The Frighteners' but I was off big budget Hollywood films at that time and was exploring Independent, European, Asian and Australian Cinema. Even though it was directed by Peter Jackson who was coming off of Heavenly Creatures (which I adored) and his quirky and entertaining schlock movies, I couldn't convince myself to go see his Hollywood film. I finally succumbed to the pressure and was surprised by how much I enjoyed that movie. Thanks in advance for answering the question. Chad from Australia   Hey Peter, My name is Brayden Garcia from Fort Worth, Texas. Big fan of the podcast and Slash Film as a whole. On Monday, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced his latest action-comedy joint, Red One. We know Chris Morgan is on board for the script, but Johnson teased a big directing announcement soon. With Johnson's track record that directing announcement will likely be lackluster as he likes to work with "fine" directors. *cough* Rawson Marshall Thurber, Brad Peyton, David Leitch I'm sorry but Hobbs and Shaw *cough*. Now in my wildest of dreams, Christmas action guru Shane Black would take the reins and return to his red and white roots. But, that probably won't happen. Anyway, the question is: Is there an actor you generally like that always picks bad/fine directors to work with? I'm not talking bad like they are terrible human beings, but bad like in a filmmaking sense. A recent example: Dave Bautista is great and Army of the Dead is just okay.    Chris’s Advice Corner   Hey everyone, this morning I just left Illinois to start a new life with a new job opportunity in Arizona. It’ll be my first time in 27 years that I’ll be away from my family and friends. It’s terrifying, sad, and overall makes me worry that I might be making a mistake. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for getting through all of these overwhelming feelings. Any tips for making new friends as well would be awesome too. Thank you all so much. Much love, Nicholas E. Formerly Chicago Heights, IL, Currently Chandler, AZ   My fiance and I got a dog about three months ago and she’s decently well trained but one of her big issues is sometimes she gets upset when we leave her home alone and she’ll get into and destroy things, mostly nothing too important but still. As a guy with dog experience, what would you recommend us doing to make her not as upset when we leave? What are some things you do when you leave your dogs home alone? Thanks for any advice! - Joey from De Pere, Wisconsin       Also mentioned:    All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief when Michael B. Jordan said that he wasn’t going to play the role! I love the guy as an actor but to play Superman, someone needs to be able to be the coolest guy in the room, while to play Clark Kent they need to be able to be the LEAST cool guy in the room. I honestly can’t see Michael B Jordan doing the latter. That’s why I also can’t get behind guys like Aldis Hodge…big and tough and cool can only go so far. Brad’s suggestion of Rene Jean Page made the most sense to me, but I think one of our bigger rising stars of the moment would fit the type that I see able to play the role: Kingsley Ben Adir. I know he’s been cast in Secret Invasion, but tons of actors cross that Marvel/DC aisle. Definitely someone I can imagine as a feeble reporter one moment AND as the ultimate hero the next. Thanks for the show! Crossing my fingers that Barry Jenkins books this movie and gives us something new and exciting that still feels true to the character. - Karl from Canada   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the May 4, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by managing editor Jacob Hall, weekend editor Brad Oman, and writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to answer some listener questions from the mailbag.   In The Mailbag:   Hi gang, Hakim from Los Angeles writing in. I’m curious: what current/historical event or subculture would you all want to be explored in a film that hasn't been (doc or narrative)? Love the show. Keep up the awesome work! All the best, Hakim   Hey guys, love the show and appreciate the work that you do as well as the different perspectives everybody brings. My question is this: what is a movie that you feel you could do a one person reenactment of? Mine would be School of Rock. While it is not necessarily my favorite movie, I pretty much know it by heart and I feel that I could perform most of the movie by myself if I had to. Anyway keep up the great work! – Matt, New Jersey P.S. Today’s podcast discussed the best opening credits sequences and I just wanted to add Men in Black as an opening that deserves some love.   Hi Peter and /Film crew, I listen to your podcast while making dinner. I really loved the segment at the end of /Film Daily Ep. 875 where Ben, HT, and Chris discussed their favorite opening credit sequences. Film titles have shifted through the years from being Main Titles, which take place at the beginning of the film or tv show, to Main On End Titles, which take place at the end of the film or tv show. Marvel has taken advantage of this Main On End Title format for most of their films and tv shows. One Main on End Title that springs to mind is from Black Panther. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YGTeFM00iU They have Vibranium Sand which pulses to the beat of the soundtrack and forms characters and landscapes from the film. Main Titles seem to be more prevalent in Television shows in recent years. Some great examples of this are Westworld and Game of Thrones...chef's kiss!! If you are interested in learning more about Main Titles, please check out Art of the Title. https://www.artofthetitle.com/  I LOVE this site and it's a great historical resource! Maybe the crew can talk about their favorite Main On End Titles from films or TV shows or their favorite Main Titles from television shows. Keep up the great work and can't wait to hear your next podcast. – Vince from New Jersey   First of all, love the show. I play a little drinking game where I take a sip whenever Peter says,"I don't know.” I've been hammered for years now (just kidding). I was wondering, what do you guys think are some great movies that fall apart in the third act? Examples for me are Signs and From Dusk Till Dawn. Secondly, the opposite: movies that you considered turning off but then the third act saved it? Examples for me are Hardcore Henry and The Prestige. – Donnie from Florida   Hello /Film team, as a self-proclaimed film buff, I'm a firm believer that movies are capable of shaping one's life. With that, I'd like to know what are some "life changing" films which you guys can recommend? By "life changing" films, I'm pertaining to films that you guys have personally resonated to, so much so that it changed the way you perceive life or how you treat other people. I'd love to have an insight as to what films shaped the life of my favourite movie critics. Love the podcast, love your works, and thank you! – James from Manila, Philippines   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the April 15, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to discuss the latest film and TV news, including Mads Mikkelsen joining Indiana Jones 5, Universal’s Renfield director, and an announcement about a new Mike Flanagan film. Then we answer some listener questions in the mailbag. Opening Banter:    In The News: Chris: ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Cast Adds ‘Hannibal’ and ‘Another Round’ Star Mads Mikkelsen HT: ‘Renfield’: Universal’s ‘Dracula’ Spin-Off Finds Director in ‘Tomorrow War’ Helmer Chris McKay Chris: ‘The Season of Passage’: Mike Flanagan Directing Christopher Pike Adaptation   In the Mailbag:   Over the past year I’ve started to get serious about writing about film. Something I wanted to ask was how did you all find and gain confidence in your voice/opinion? I know that technically people can never have “right” or “wrong” opinions because it’s entirely up to the individual. However in the world of film twitter discourse it feels easier than ever to doubt your opinion’s validity and question whether you know enough about film theory to give one. On the opposite end of the spectrum, how do you know if you personally like/dislike something or if your opinion is skewed by the popular consensus? – Connor from Central Florida (who also said some very nice things that we greatly appreciate)   During all the water coolers, I’m always curious: what are you all listening to? Maybe you don’t like listening to music but it made me think, what are your top music soundtracks of all time? Any genre is acceptable. Mine have to be Baby Driver, Me, Earle & the Dying Girl, Sing Street, and Black Panther. – Charlie from Baltimore   I love a good opening credit sequence! They seem to have become more and more of a rare occurrence, but when done well they can really put you into the right mood for the story to follow. Some of my favorites are the intro credits for Zombieland and Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. What are some of your favorite intro credit sequences? – Tyler from Seattle All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the April 8, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to discuss the latest film and TV news, including a Columbia Pictures water park, Saw 10, WB’s 2022 plans, the new Sony/Netflix deal, Spielberg’s next movie, Park Chan-wook’s new TV show, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Opening Banter:    In The News: HT: A Columbia Pictures Water Theme Park is Coming to Thailand with Rides Based on ‘Ghostbusters’ and More Chris: ‘Saw 10’ is Already in Development, Because Not Even Death Can Stop Jigsaw HT: WarnerMedia CEO Confirms Plan for Traditional Theatrical Releases in 2022 HT: Netflix to Become Streaming Home of All New Sony Releases Starting Next Year Ben: Steven Spielberg’s Next Movie Will Star Paul Dano as Spielberg’s Father HT: Park Chan-wook is Directing a TV Adaptation of Viet Thanh Ngyuen’s Pulitzer-Winning Novel ‘The Sympathizer’ Chris: Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Will “Be Like Nothing We’ve Ever Seen,” Says Screenwriter Eric Roth   In The Mailbag: Just a few quick follow-ups.   I was so disappointed that no one mentioned Eat Drink Man Woman as a great food movie. I would argue that it’s the best food movie, and one of my favorites. I love cooking, and this movie inspires me to cook. Hopefully this email gets recognized so everyone can know how great this food looks. - Nicholas from Chicago Heights, IL   The slashfilm staff did a great segment on the podcast about filmmaking books and books about filmmaking. The staff gathered a truly great list. I would like to add one more recommendation: CONQUEST OF THE USELESS by Werner Herzog. This book is a collection of journal entries written by Herzog himself during the filming of Fitzcarraldo. This is hands down one of the most amazing books about filmmaking I have ever read. Anyone familiar with Herzog's work or his interviews knows that he has one of the most captivating voices in the media landscape bar none. The book is emotional, grim, and occasionally quite humorous. I would go so far as to say one does not even have to appreciate the movies Herzog makes to enjoy his writing -- I for one haven't even seen Fitzcarraldo. Herzog is a force of nature and his writing is a treasure. - Cade from Iowa   All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the April 6, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by /Film managing editor Jacob Hall and writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to discuss the latest film and TV news and answer some listener questions in the mailbag. Opening Banter:    In The News: HT: ‘Justice League’ Clash: Joss Whedon Reportedly Threatened Gal Gadot’s Career, Ray Fisher Shares Troubling Cyborg Changes During Reshoots   In The Mailbag: What are some of your favorite movie watching snacks and beverages (either at home and/or in the theater)? Do you have any favorite movies that are about food? What are some of your favorite food related scenes in movies that aren't otherwise specifically about food? Thanks for the always entertaining pods! – Matthew M, New Haven CT   Chris! Oh dear Chris. I have been noticing that our tastes in movies and shows often are the same. I was very curious: what are your thoughts on this Nordic style horror/thriller genre? Have you watched: Fortitude on Prime or Trapped and Black Spot on Netflix? Or perhaps The Head, an HBO MAX original? If you have seen these types of shows, which ones did surprise you in a good way? Any recommendations? I have seen all previously mentioned shows and just love that type of tone and grisly over the top violence in them. Also what are your expectations for the upcoming Antlers movie? Unless you have seen the screener already, I can't wait for it to come out on any platform, I have high hopes. On top of that I have not heard you talk about Servant, the Apple TV+ original produced by M. Night Shyamalan. Have you seen it? I think it is pretty dope, all the fine wine consumption on top of this suspenseful storyline. Acting is top notch as well! Man I have tons of questions built up for you Mr. Evangelista lol, just leave me your phone number and I will call you with the rest of them haha JK. Thank you guys! Y'all became such a big part of my life it is very surprising for me to realize. Wish you all great success and chill vibes! - Yerbol from the Bay Area (PS It's been 2 years or so since the last time I wrote, my son is now 4yo and I am choosing to show him anything that interests him, whether it is age appropriate or not, nothing is off the table, but I am explaining the scary and new concepts to him like I would to an adult. So far he has seen parts of IT chapter one and parts of Ghostbusters original and reboot. He is very cool about it.)   Hey all, a couple weeks ago Chris mentioned the two Hitler biographies and based on his recommendation I’m going to get the audiobooks through audible. But my question is, what audiobooks (or just regular books) would you recommend – specifically, what movie-based books do you all like? I’ve already done Space Odyssey (the 2001 a space odyssey movie book) and Clash of the Titans, and I have the Peter Jackson and the making of middle earth and taking shape 1&2 in my wishlist. - William VanBeek from Green Bay, wisCANson   Listener Responses About How to Curate Watchlists   Hello people, I absolutely used to get stuck on all of the streaming services, trying to decide what to watch. Sometimes my wife and I would spend so much time trying to pick something, it would get too late and we’d end up watching nothing. To help with that, I started keeping my own list of movies. This wasn’t using the in-service queues, which I found more anxiety-inducing than anything; this was just a simple excel file I had quick access to and could update easily. Basically, any time we saw a movie that looked interesting, or we mentioned an old movie we’d like to watch, I’d throw it on the list. (I actually kept two lists.. one for “us” movies and one with movies she wasn’t interested in.) When it comes time to watch a movie, I hit an online random number generator and whatever row comes up, we watch. It totally cuts out the indecision, and it has an awesome element of surprise to it. It’s like opening a movie present! It also helps with that weird backlog stress.. now it’s on the list, so it’ll come up eventually. I don’t have to spend time thinking about when I’m going to watch it. Anyway, it wasn’t that hard to do and it worked really well for us, so I hope that helps! - Jason, Edmonton Canada   Hi Peter, I've been listening to /Film Daily for a while now, love the cast! As sort of an avid TV watcher, I couldn't help but to cringe a little when I heard about your "meticulously refined" processes for deciding what to watch. You'll find my method detailed below. Maybe some of you will even find it inspiring! Since 2013, I log every episode and movie I watch on trakt.tv. I also rate every movie, show, and season after I complete them. My regular process on the site is as follows: About once a week, I go through the first page of the Trending, Recommended, and Watched categories under the TV section, to see if there's anything new I should have a look at. Every show there is put on one of these three lists: Anticipated, Watchlist, or Uninterested. I also turn on the Fade filter for Watched and Listed, so I can easily spot any newcomers. I do the same for the Popular category, but here I go 5 pages deep. I also do the same for the Anticipated category, but here I handle anything that's on at least 100 lists globally on the site (their measure of anticipation for a show is the number of lists it appears on). If there is the slightest chance I might like a show, I'll put in on the Anticipated list. Once or twice a week, I look in my own Anticipated list to see what new shows have premiered recently and what's coming up soon. I look at comments, reviews, Rotten Tomatoes, cast and crew, and so on, and move the new shows to either Watchlist or Uninterested. If I'm still undecided, I leave the show in Anticipated for next time (when more comments and reviews might be available to help me). Every once in a while, I look at the top of my Watchlist and make sure that those shows are queued in Apple TV (or Netflix for Netflix shows). I also try to do this whenever I add a new show to my Watchlist, but sometimes I forget, and sometimes I add it to Watchlist before it's available on Apple TV, so a recurrent check here is a good catch-all. Every day, I look at the Calendar, to see what's airing today and this week. One trick for upcoming shows is to have them both in Anticipated and Watchlist until decided, because anything in Watchlist will appear in the Calendar. You'll just have to remember to remove the show from Watchlist if you change it from Anticipated to Uninterested. Decide what to watch and watch it. This should be easy now, and no need for endless scrolling anywhere. I also do the same for movies, except I go 10 pages deep in the Popular category, and require 250 lists for consideration in the Anticipated category. This whole process might sound complicated and time consuming, but once you have it down, it generally only takes a few minutes per step. Except for step 2, depending on how much time you want to dedicate to looking at reviews and such before moving stuff from the Anticipated list. I generally don't spend too much time on it; if unsure, I'll just leave it there for another week or two. I hope this might help you find inner peace and clarity.

My husband and I constantly find ourselves overwhelmed by our watchlists on multiple services along with my Letterboxd queue. We sit down to watch a movie and inevitably spend 20 minutes trying to decide what to watch. How do you manage that? - Missy in FL Wonder Woman was the only DCEU film that I actually loved. I had such high hopes for the sequel, which turned out to be an immense disappointment. Among its many flaws, they somehow managed to make it less PC and more racist than the first movie, which was set during WWI. My question for the crew is: when was the last time you had very high hopes for a movie only to have them completely and utterly dashed? - M from Dakar, Senegal What are the best recasts in film history? I’m thinking of something like Eric Stoltz being replaced with Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, or Stuart Townsend being swapped out for Viggo Mortensen in The Lord of the Rings. What are some of your favorites? - Tyler from Seattle (Note: we should try to stick to instances where someone has literally been cast and started filming, only to then be replaced)   All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the March 25, 2021 episode of /Film Daily, /Film senior writer Ben Pearson is joined by /Film writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to discuss the latest film and TV news, including a Ghost of Tsushima movie, a National Treasure TV show, and casting for Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Black Adam. Then we dive into the mailbag to answer a few listener questions. Opening Banter:    In The News: (HT) ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ is Becoming a Movie with ‘John Wick’ Director Chad Stahelski Attached to Helm (Chris) ‘Black Adam’ Cast Adds Pierce Brosnan as DC Superhero Doctor Fate (HT) ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Enlists Helen Mirren as the Villain Hespera (Chris) ‘National Treasure’ TV Series Officially Happening at Disney+ with Director Mira Nair   In The Mailbag: Cade sent us an email with some additional suggestions for a topic we covered a while ago, which was movies or TV adaptations that were better than the books on which they’re based. Cade threw in Blade Runner, Forrest Gump, The Last of the Mohicans, and The Prestige.   I never got around to seeing Justice League for a myriad of reasons, but now that the Snyder Cut is out, I’m at least interested in watching it. My question is: Should I watch the theatrical cut first, or should I just dive right in to the Snyder Cut? Does the extended version work completely on its own? Or to truly understand the zeitgeist around it do I need to watch the theatrical cut first? Thank you very much, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! - Jeremy, Atlanta   As someone who was able to (virtually) attend my first-ever film festival this week with South by Southwest Online, I wanted to reach out to the Slash Film festival veterans to find out how they navigate the slightly overwhelming world of festival screenings. I'm just wondering how you try to select the films in advance you hope to attend to watch and review and how you stay focused several days in (asked as I try to mentally prepare for my 15th and final film of the last three days in a few minutes). And a few other random musings on film festivals - do you think that virtual elements of film festivals will continue into the future for all but maybe the biggest festivals? What would you say is the ratio of quality films versus the forgettable you find at most festivals? And could each of you provide the title of the one movie that has been the most memorable you've ever watched at a film festival? - Craig from HoustonBen: Like Crazy, Sundance 2011 Chris: High Life at TIFF at 2018 and the Overlook Film Festival in general HT: The Irishman, New York Film Festival 2019     All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
